FACING DEATH

There were dramatic circumstances
attending the case of the young Geor-
gia banker who stood at the threshold
of death for a week and never falter-
ed, which focused the thought of
newspaper readers on his exhibition
of grit and courage, but in the essen
tails it cannot be said that he has
been an exception among men beyond
comparison. Many a man, or woman,
has gone down to the doorway of
death as boldly and bravely as has
this Georgian, and his seven days of
anticipation, during which he main
tanned a spirit and a nerve which has
won him deserved admiration, bear
little comparison to the years which
some have traveled-or are travelling
hanging them.
1t is one of the mysteries of life
that death has no sting. Men love
life and cling to it with the very last
of their resources; they shudder at the
thought of death and think they fear
it, but when they finally are brought
into it's very presence and face it, thew
find they have no cause to be afraid
and they go down into the valley with
out tremor. None has returned to
give us the full explanation, but the
fact we know, and the experience of
the Georgia banker is exceptional only
IN It's incidental environment. Perhaps
many person, If full credit were to
De given, proves greater courage and
grit and nerve by sticking to life and
fighting it's battles against odds than

stepped over into the great peace =

FROM OTHER PENS

TWO PEACE MEN. WITH A DIFFER
ENCE.
Dr. Lyman Abbott. a man of years
education. and exceptional experience
told peace conference the other day
that the CLEAN of the sword and the
bark of the cannon would continue until
a power greater than of armed man
should be found to protect innocence
from injustice.
DR.. Abbott's thought did not over
whelm one by its novelty.
A day later DR.. Eliot, a man of years
brains, mental vigor and exceptional ex-
perience, told the same peace conference
that education and the judicial settle
ment of disputes were among the forces
that were abolishing war. In other words
the power greater than that of armed
man is already here and successfully
working for peace.
We may add that the trade unions the
social and industrial reform movements
the foes of privilege and injustice are also
peace. Commerce, finance trade and the
dislike of taxes that yield no return are
also peace factors.
As to the protection of innocence, who
was Miss Innocence in the F'ranco-Prus-
sian war or the RuSso-Japanese war or
the Anglo-Boer war? We think any real

A very young man for a post of such importance is Francis Burton Harrison, the new Governor of Uncle | Sam's little brown wards of the Philippines, for he will celebrate his fortieth birthday today.

In 1904 he was the Democratic candidate for i lieutenant-governor of New York His appointment as Governor General of the Philippines was bitterly criticised, notably by William Randolph Hearst, who asserted that what murky ideas of government fit through the Harri- son mind were. gleaned from the teachings of Charles Francis Mur- phy." the Tammany boss. Tn his in augural address last October, Gov ernor Harrison declared that the present administration favored the ultimate independence of the islands, and he has already taken several ad- ninistrative steps looking to that end we regard ourselves as trustees,,'

The D. M. Read Company.

Six years from today will mark the tercentenary of the birth of Prince Rupert, the great English military of ficer whose name is forever associat- ed with western. Canada by reason of the fact that he was one of the organizers and the first governor of the Hudson's Bay Company The territories of the company, now the western Provinces of the Dominion, were long called Rupert's Land in honor of the Prince. Rupert was the third son of Frederick V. of Bohemia and Elizabeth, sister of Charles l. of England, and was born at Prague on Dec IS, 1919. He was noted for his reckless bravery in battle, which he first displayed on the continent. He then went to England to assist his uncle, Charles l., and in 1648 was made admiral of the English fleet. After the restoration he was made lord high admiral and fought against the Dutch. His later years were largely devoted to scientific study and to the affairs of the Hudson's Bay Company. Charles II. granted charter to Rupert and seventeen oth- CT nobles and gentlemen, 1ncorporat- ing them as the Governor and Com pany of Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson's Bay The part played by this company in the development of the West constitutes one of the most romantic chapters in continent.
