The Exercise Of Choice.

The human faculties of perception,
judgment, discriminative feeling. men,
tai activity, and even moral preference
are exercised only in making choice.
He who does anything because it Is
the custom makes no choice. He gains
no practice either in discerning or de-
string what Is best The mental and
moral. like the muscular powers. are
improved only by being used. The
faculties are called into no exercise by
doing thing merely because others do
it, no more than by believing a thing
only because others believe it.
He who lets the world. or his own
portion of 1t, choose his plan of life
for him has no need of any other
faculty than the apelike one of imita-
ton. He who chooses his plan for him.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: 1t Is inti-
mated that Germany may decline to
stop the use of the submarine method
of destroying merchant ships without
warning, because II is impossible to
attempt to stop high-speed vessels and
give time for the removal of noncom-
batants. 'The danger for a sub
marine in such course puts it out
of the question"
Just So Submarines have been sunk
with shots. They have been rammed
and run down. Even the wrecking Of
the periscope may be the ruin of the
'stin sardine." It's safe course lies in
expelling its torpedo and getting out
of sight beneath the waves.
The crew of a submarine Is out TO
fight II must expect danger and
death II there Is opposition To the
unbiased observer it looks like unsea-
manly cowardice to offer the plea that,
because lives Of fighting men on a
submarine might be lost, the only
thing TO do Is to give the other side no
chance. but to deliver an unexpected
blow and sneak ont of sight. Tt is
said that the Dutch admiral Van
Tromp, upon being told that the enemy
had no ammunition, offered to divide
his with them, and even supply them

PETRoGRAD is A WONDER.
a City Built by Russia In Defiance Of
the Laws of Nature.


1t Is an amazing monument to the
despotism Of the czars that Petrograd
has hourished, as 1t was built, In de-
fiance OF the laws of trade and Of ma
ture herself. As a port 1t is immeas-
urably inferior to Riga. which has a
much longer open season. for Petro-
grad Is icebound from early November
to the end Of April. AS building site
1t has been repeatedly and disastrous
ly flooded by the Neva- The highest
elevation within the bounds of the city
Is less than fifteen feet above sea level,
and the cellars have to be baled out
nearly every spring when the ice meIts
and the wind blowA
And the rigorous climate constantly
gnaws at walls and columns until the
city has been twice and thrice rebuilt
by the czars. Many of the most Inn
posing structures are held together
only by means Of iron clamps, and the
huge bOwider on which Peter rides his
bronze horse Is ever crumbling away.
The stones of the streets are continual
ly sinking below the level. and the
great Cathedral of St Isaac never
ceases to settle on a foundation in
which nearly $1.00O,O00 was sunk. No
less than six tiers Of piles were driven
for the beautiful column of Alexander
l., yet that eighty foot monolith. the
tallest and largest In Europe. has to
be clamped in iron.
AS a dwelling place Petrograd re-
mains the most fatal Of any great city
in the civilized world. with a mortali-
ty Of twenty-eight to each 1000 of pop
ulation. and within ten years its death
rate actually exceeded its birth rate

SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
II Takes Five Minutes For the Best of
Them to Get Under.


Submarines are not easy to handle
and 1t takes considerable skill and
daring to navigate them successfully.
Many people have the idea that as soon
as a submarine sees an enemy, the
officer in command gives sharp order,
and almost before it has left his lips
the submarine is diving beneath the
waves.
AS a matter of fact the very latest
submarines take clear FIVE minutes
before they can become submerged.
Many of the older submarines took ten
minutes to quarter OF an hour to
sink.
The reason that a submarine cannot
dive quickly. like fish, is because the
water which must be let into her tanks
to make her heavy enough to sink,
must be let in comparatively slowly.
chances are the vessel would not 60
down on an even keel. but would heel
over and be in great danger of dis
aster. II water. too, were let In too
quickly there is danger of letting in
too much and in that case the sub
marine would sink like stone to the
bottom of the sea.
The depth at which a submarine
travels under the sea is regulated by
horizontal rudders. The water that is
let In the ballast tanks is Just suffi-
cient to "balance" the vessel in the
sea without rising or sinking.

Walter King Stone. the illustrator,

to penetrate the woods to the exact

TO REoRoANizE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IN IDAHO.

In view of the fact that 1t is con-
ceded by the active Republicans OF
Idaho that there Is to be a reorganiza-
tion OF the party this summer, with
the election of new chairman, who
must be man who has not been iden-
titled with the management OF that
organization in the past or with any
of the factions or divisive movements,
In other words man who has a good
clean personal record and has been
absolutely free from past entanglements
either from party or business stand
point. the question naturally arises
as to where a man can be found who
win come up to this high standard of
leadership.
The southern portion Of the state
seems to be disposed to concede the
honor Of the Craftsmanship this time
to the panhandle and the north Is
ready with the man. Evan Evans, OF
this city, while modest and unambi-
tious for public honors is one of the
clean, capable. hard working party men
who can bring to the office of state
chairman the qualities most essential
at this time under the peculiarly
trying conditions of the party.
Already, Mr. Evans and his friends
here. are in receipt of numerous letters
from loyal Republicans throughout the
state urging him to accept the posi-
tion OF chairman, and announcing that
they will rally to his standard II he
win but announce the fact that he
win accept the position. One of the
peculiar as we'll as gratifying features
Of the situation is that these solicita-
tons come from the leaders Of the
different factions OF the party, show
Ing clearly that the need OF reorgani-
cation is recognized by all elements,
and that they are ready and anxious
to center upon a man to lead the or
ganization. upon whom none Of them
have strings, nor ever will be able to
get lead strings. This shows an awak-
ening along right hines. and portends
success for the party in the state II
some such leader as Mr.. Evans win
but accept the arduous duties and
responsibilities OF leadership and it
Is believed by his friends that he Is
loyal and unselfish enough to do so.
One of the old time party mistakes
at this time would be fatal.

SAYING A FEW WORDS.
When Your Turn Comes Remember

When Your Turn Comes Remember
That Short Speeches Never Bore.
If you are called upon to say few
words after dinner or at a meeting,
don't be backward. Get right up and
go at it.
The chances are that what you say
on such an occasion. without prepare
ton, will be of no Importance and
probably wouldn't have been OF Inn
portance If it had been prepared In adj
vance. but that isn't the point
The point is that the minds OF your
hearers will be quite as blank and
amorphous as your own. and con-
sequently the few who actually listen
to you will have no means of judging
whether what you say is rational or
not The majority. out OF politeness,
will assume that you did well. or If
they do not wish to commit themselves
too irretrievably they will say You did
well under the circumstances"
The whole secret in saying few
words lies in making 1t few" If you
go on and on and on. your audience
will not heed or remember a thing you
said. They will only remember that
you talked long enough to bore them.
Short speeches never bore-E. o. J. In

ARMY BUGLEs.
Fashioned From Sheets Of Copper BY
an Ingenious Process.

an Ingenious Process.
From start to finish the making OF
an army bugie is a process of much
ingenuity and interest A bugle may
not at FIRST sight present a striking re-
semblance TO its cousin. the coach
horn. but one is practically curled
up version Of the other. for before the
bugle is bent into shape it consists Of a
narrow tube fifty-one inches long.
In the first stage of manufacture the
bugle Is cut out Of sheet copper and
rolled into two thin cylinders. technic-
ally known as the 'be1" and the
branch" The narrow tube, which is
the bell" Is gradually shaped out on
molds until the opening is the regular
four inches In diameter. 1t is then
spun" on wonderful machine, and
an expert workman takes the rough
edges OF the copper
Both sections are afterward filled with
molten lead preparatory to the bending
stage, and It is this solid stuffing
which prevents the tube breaking In
the process and allows 1t to keep its
shape. The expert workman. with the
aid of formidable lever and hammer,
bends the bugle into the familiar
shape. the lead being subsequently
melted out at a charcoal furnace. after
which the instrument is sent of to the
polishers.
One of the most intricate parts Of the
bugle Is the mouthpiece, which Is made
- LII II al N
special lathe. With the mouthpiece
fixed the instrument Is ready for the
testing room.-Pearson's Weekly.

THE SUBMARINE IN LAW.

TIE OO0WFtntfNG TN t-ft w.
New York Commercial: Because the
submarine Is a new thing in warfare
many persons argue that II has chang
ed international law. This is not true
as far as neutrals are concerned. Be-
tween themselves, belligerents may depart
from established usage and by mutual
reprisals and barbarities may put them
selves outside the pale Of international
law and the customs of so-called civiliz-
ed warfare. This was done In our own
country In some of our earlier Indian
wars and 1t has happened time and
again in wars waged by European ma
tions In Africa and Asia In which no
quarter was given on either side. In
suppressing the Indian mutiny British
troops treated the Sepoys as they had
treated white men and women. The
white man lapses into barbarism with
remarkable facility under such .circum-
stances.
But 1t must be clearly borne in mind
that neutrals and neutral rights are
not affected In courts OF international
law by the lapse into barbarism of
the combatants. AS far as the United
States and other neutrals are concern
ed submarine possesses no rights
that other war vessels do not enjoy.
The submarine can do nothing that
Is forbidden in the case OF battleship.
When the Emden was overcrowded. with
persons taken from enemy vessels that
had been destroyed her captain put
them ashore or on some other vessel
that would take them safely to land.
When the Emden could hold no more
she did not sink the next capture with
all on board. That has not been done
by the war vessels of civilized countries
for four centuries, but the submarine
has revived the practice of the buccan-
GERS who ranged along the Spanish
main by sinking vessels without caring
for the safety Of noncombatants and
neutrals.
Nations at war may commit acts of
savagery II willing to run the risks Of
reprisals in kind, but neutrals will be
still entitled to the protection of the
recognized code of international law
That law can not be changed without
the consent of the neutrals in so far
as 1t affects them. Submarines must
let our ships alone II they are physi-
caiy unable to stop and search them
Their structural handicaps are not our
fault Much iH-feeling is being aroused
In this country by persons who for
get these fundamental principles of in
ternational law when arguing with
others about our neutral rights. This
Is a serious matter. italy has talked
herself into war, just as we did when
