NO EXCEPTION.

It beats all how ones mind will run sometimes It will fly, as it picking up a fragment of a thought here and there and that without purpose It will keep on that way until something attracts it when it is suddenly brought down the solid ground of the practical when reflection ensues In one of those moods the other day mind stopt at the word of critic and after moment cogntaton dis covered universal attribute which is critical judg ment.
 We have no fear of successful contradiction when We advance the that we not all reforr- CTS anymore than we are all lawyers We not all churchgoers anymroe than all carpenters. And so on down the line of human attributes The critical faculty, however is universal We all critics We are heirs to that, seemingly, and We develop the faculty according to temperament There are some who develop the faculty to fine point and will crti- else nature just easily they will crtcse their neighbors. Perhaps they find it easier to find fault than to study preventive of faults. Be that it may there who seem to glory in their abil- ity crjticise, yet among them you will rarely find who point out way to prevent the cause of criticism. They to be imbued with the spirit of criticism and have only two thoughts in their mind that of critcising others and finding excuses for their actions which constitute the scope of their endeavor in the correction of defects in human nature.

President in Memorial Speech.
Says He Is for Peace but
We Should be Pre-

Washington, D. c., May 3d.
President Wilson delivered
Memorial Day address today il
which he defined the spirit O
America, warned citizens of for
eign birth not to set themselve,
against the purpose of the nation
called upon young nen to per
form voluntary military service
and defAded his recent sugges
ton for an alliance of nations tc
preserve peace. He spoke at Ar.
lington National Cemetery before
an audience made up largely OF
Civil War veterans, who applaud.
ed him vigorously.
While he declared he had no
harshness in his heart for Ameri-
cans Of foreign birth and expect
ed them still to love the sources
of their origin, the President said
America must come first in
every purpose we entertain and
every man must count upon be-

who does not submit to that great
ruling principle"
Speaking Of America, made up
of all the peoples of the world, as
the champion of the rights of
mankind, he said:
"We are not only. ready to CO.
operate, but we are ready to fight
against aggression, whether from
within or, without. But we must
guard ourselves against any sort
of aggression which would be I'M
worthy of America. We are ready
to fight for our rights when those
rights are coincident with the
rights of men and humanity"
Universal training and pre-
paredness were possible, Mr.. Will
son declared, only if the men of
suitable strength and age will vol
unteer. He said the "acid test"
was about to be applied to bust
ness men to see whether they
would allow their employees to

point, which he warned all the
business men of the country was

but the compulsion of
the spirit of America"

JOHN s. MOSBY DEAD
Noted Confederate Raider Dies in
Washington.

, Washington.
Washington, May 30.-Col
John S. Mosby, Confederate guer
lila chieftain, died in a Washing
ton hospital shortly after 8
O clock today. He had been seri'
ously i'll for more than two months
of intestinal trouble and had been
in various hospitals during that
time.
His death came fittingly on the
day on which, for years, he had
honored comrades gone before.
John Singleton Mosby, the most
famous guerilla leader Of the Civil
war, was by inclination a scholar
and student. He would sit by
the fireside in camp and quote
long passages from Virgil and
Horace. He made his daring
raids with the lessons Of Napol-
cons campaigns in his mind.
Warfare, however, turned him
from the dreamer into "the old
Roman.
When the war came, he enlisted
as cavalry private. General j.
r. B. Stuart, noticed Mosby's
dashing work and made him a
scout. AS such he led the brigade,
when on June II, 1862, it raided
the rear Of General McClennan's
army on the Chickahominy.
In 1863 he recruited his cele-
brated band. Its arms were only
revolvers and bowie knives, for
carbines could not be used in
night fighting and sabres clank-
ing made too much noise.
Many members were Confeder-
ates who had committed some
minor breach of rules and feared
to rejoin their regular commands.
They also were several deserters
from the Federal ranks.
Mosby's band could never. be
captured because the members
kept apart until just the moment
of their raid, when they suddenly
concentrated and swept down up
on the unsuspecting post within
the Union lines. Their mission
accomplished, they separated. It
is said Mosby's men, numbering
300, kept 10000 Federals busy.
Colonel Mosby's greatest
triumph came on March 8, 1863,
when with % men he slipped
through the opposing lines and
captured General Stoughton at
his headquarters in Fairfax Court
House, Va. As a result his men
were incorporated as regular
part of the Confederate army. In
the autumn of 1864 he prevented
Sheridan and Grant from effect
ing junction by rebuilding a de-
railroad.
Once Mostly rode to within
sight of Washington and sent a
lock of his hair to President Lin
colin by woman. When General
Lee finally surrendered there
were many in the North who in
sisted that no mercy be shown

was on his head. He was accused

BY, who gave himself up. He be-
came an intimate friend of Grant.
In reconstruction days Mostly
fought the measures, hated in the
South, as fiercely as any southern
leader. But when the Democrats
nominated Horace Greeley for
Mosby publicly re-
bounced the party and threw his
strength to General Grant. He re.
fused to accept an office under !!
Grant when the latter became J
president. In the Hayes admins
ration he consented to become

Kong. Later he practiced law in
