WHAT WAS NEWS
FIJI TY YEARS AGO

For two nights past the quiet in front OF
petersburg has been interrupted by heavy and
rapid canhonadfnS. Saturday night in particular
there was very fierce artillery duel which
continued for two hours. In the artillery fight
that took place before Petersburg night be fore
last me asgressors were the Confcderatcs. who
made an attack on the encmys mortar lines and
a vicious opening 1t was. 1t is presumed that 1t
hao good effect, for on yesterday the Federals
were perfectly docile and desisted ,from their
accustomed practice of Smelling the city.
1t was currently reported yesterday that Gem
eral Grant was again 'chanslul his base" bv
making an extensive movement TO the north
side of the James River No definite informa-
ton could be- obtained, except that Il IS very
certain that an extensive movement on in
All OF the camps and along all OF the Federal
lines. but just what they mean and what thev
-are for Is not yet known
The very latest report from PETERSBURG 10
that General Grant is certainly moving his
forces on both the James and the Appomattox
Rivers Tho scarcity OF water in the far interior
where the most OF his camps are now located
Doubtless explains the movement. but the most
probable solution Is that he wants his troops so
ioci.tea as 20 be able to move them conveniently
To the north side of the James or the Chester
held Side of the Appomattox at short notice. In
any event, General Lee is watching him. and
Whatever may be the movement he will find
Lees men In his front and ready to dispute his
way into Richmond or Petersburg.
All of this talk about Grants movement TO tho
north side OF the james probably occasioned
by the crossing OF the river pom ICONS of
crossed has not yet developed. for Confederate
Iorce met thcm and held them In check.
The dispatches from Atlanta are meagre but
1t Is known that the fighting around that city
continues in somewhat vigorous way with
the advantages thus far in favor OF the Con-
federatcs. On Thursday the Federal attack on
the left was repulsed. and twenty-five valuable
pieces OF artillery captured and turned upon the
enemy.
In the lighting around Atlanta day before yes
terday General MCPHERSON, OF Sherman's
most able corps commanders. was instantly
killed, being shot through the heart

been shot down, among them Major Geperal
Walker. who was killed; Brigadier- General
Smith. who was seriously wounded. and Cen
erals Glsh and Mercer. who were slightly
wounded \and incapacitnted for duty in the
field.

Gus sentiments. the cause of peace will lose
rather than gain friends.
1t IS unlikely that many sound-thinkins
Congressman of any political party would
lend their approval to legislation that would
tie the hands Of this country in the event
of hostilities with another nation. And the
meaning back of the Bartholdt clause plain
~ intimates that, nation, we shall sit
tight in the boat and let any other nation
walk all over our rights and honor, unless
that nation sees fit to invade our shores
Then. and only then. can we prepare to de-
fend ourselves or strike back.
IL such is the proposition Of the gentle
man from Missouri 1t answers itself as a
transparent absurdity. He is likely to get
his notoriety for his pains. Sentiment for
universal peace is fast spreading in this
country. We are finding the falacy of the
old maxim that war Is profitable. and find
ing instead that peace is profitable. But
there is little danger that in seeking a de-
sirabe end, we will consent to make our
selves ridiculous or helpless before the rest
of the world.

The Real Criminal

capture the criminal Why? Why conflne

incarcerated? If he Is not 10 be pardoned,
again why? Others have been, and they
guilty this man, more SO. for
this man had right to believe that he could
do what he would and escape punishment.
He shot because Cole Blease had already told
him and all potential criminals In South

dies. the real murderer is Cole Blease
Maybe that answers first question.

Tho Currency system Menaced

D RESIDENT WILSON has withdrawn the
l nomination of Thomas Jones for the
Federal Reserve Board This action was
taken at Mr.. Joness request and, in view Of
the nominees letter, the President could fol-
low no other course. Probably his action was
wise one under any circumstances Two
Democratic Senators were delaying the or
Canization of the new currency system and
were delaying consideration OF the antitrust
laws. While the country would have placed
Inc chief blame upon their shoulders, the
President could not have escaped some part
Of the responsibility when he, at any moment
could have ended the delay by withdra wing
Mr.. Jones's name
The case of Mr.. Warburg is different. and
unless that gentleman should insist upon
Withdrawing, we hope and believe the Presi-
dent will stand by his guns. Mr.. Warburg
is the best man available in the country The
opposition TO him is political. as, indeed it
was in the Of Mr.. Jones' His defeat
would be blow to the new currency system,
not only because of the loss OF Mr. War
burg's services, but also because it would
prove that the Federal Reserve Board is to
be football of politicians, and that Is worse
than delay in organization. If politics is to
creep into the system, its usefulness is gone.
1t will mean that good men must not expect
appointment unless they have political in
fuence. Mr.. Warburg should be confirmed at
all hazards.

THE WHOLE WHEAT pRonLE1I

Should we. or should we not return
to the use Of unddnaturized bread? Is
the "staT of life" perfectly satisfac-
tory as 1t Is, or have our great mills
carried the process OF refinement too
far? There are two sides to this qucs-
ton and a fairly roomy middle.
The Conservative Side.
Some physicians. diet experts and
chemists hold that the whole wheat

genuine whole wheat -four with moth

use; 1t requires too much effort to
digest 1t; II sometimes sets up intes-
final Irritation and diarrhoeal trouble
and moreover the mineral layer of the

Ing. Is not need by man, since man
obtains a plentiful supply of mineral
salts from other sources. Finally to
put telling climax on the argument
they declare that bread made from
genuine whole wheat -four Is far less
palatable than the modern white or
refined four product
II seems strong plea for modern
artifciality. But what have the rad
icals to say about II?
The Radical Side.
Other authorities believe that the

argue that the absence Of lime phos-
phate, iron. sodium. potassium and
other mineral elements from refined
white flour explains the marked prev
alence OF bad teeth. anemia. dyspepsia

pie. Some of them believe that APP
pendicitis is one result OF denaturcd

TO support the fancy that cancer among
civilized races is possibly attributable
to dcmineralized food or mineral star

Certain 1t is that the mineral salts
play most important. an absolutely
indispensable role in nutrition, as
well as in elimination. Equally GER
tain it Is that bread should remain the
staff OF life, genuine, nawlcss star
on which We may lean with absolute
confidence.
Personally, we are constrained to
keep to the middle OF the road in this
controversy. much as we dislike that
path. We hold that a reasonable pro-
portion Of whole wheat bread should
be used In every household because IL
tastes good and is good.
