old motto of the Volunteer force,
Defense not Defiance"
If the nineteen centuries of Christ
anity which have passed over Christ
endom had really destroyed the caus-
es of war and aggression in the hu-
man consciousness, there would be no
need for preparedness of any sort,
and no occasion to argue over the
question. If the teaching of the Ser
mon on the Mount had been really
metaphisically understood and DEM
onstrated, Christendom would stand
today as a great healing force, and
not as sheaf of antagonistic nations
which have used the human knowledge
of what is called science to perfect
engines of distinctions, and which
have consecrated the battle flags
which are the emblems of national
strife. Everybody knows only too.
we'll that this is the case. Every
body knows that the same passions
are raging in the world today which
made possible the Antwerp fury and
the devastation of the Palestine, and
that the greed which has used prov
inces as shuttlecocks in the battle of
the nations, has never ceased chang
ing the map of the world for a single
decade. 1t is unquestionable that any
great power may be called upon to
defend itself, at moments notice,
and without expectation of attack,
just as it is beyond question that any
great power may be called upon, at
moments notice, to take its stand
for principle when the sluice gates of
evil are hauled up, and to show that
ii is inspired by something more vital
than the pursuit of self-aggrandize-
ment and riches. This is a prepared
ness which is absolutely proper and
which is demanded, not only by hu-
man reason but by principle, and it is,
surely, what Mrs. Eddy had in mind,
when she wrote, in the Christian
Science Journal of May, 1908, at is
unquestionable, however, that at this
hour the armament of navies is neces-
sary, for the purpose of preventing

war and preserving peace among ma
tions." Passions of evil can be rem
dered impotent unquestionably by
a scientific demonstration Of the pow
er of good, but where the knowledge
Of that power has not been achieved,
then the fact of human preparedness
will alone assure peace by convincing
evil of its material impotence.
The absolutely vital question, there
fore, for nation on the eve of pre-
paredness appears to be that there
should be in its thought no dream Of
conquest, no idea of preparedness for
aggression. When a great nation
prepares for war it should prepare
with the conviction that it will never
need to put out its strength, but it
should prepare so as to be able to de-
fend that which is good, and to be
unstayed in unfolding the destiny
which good has prepared for it. The
Knights Of Arthur made their vow

the Christ" What is the heathen but

sciousness of that which is good, and

One of the apologists for the Repub-
-lican city government of st. Louis
explains that the reason it costs twice
as much to run the city of st. Louis
as it does to run the entire State of
Missouri, is the fact that st. Louis
has to maintain lot of institutions
that ought to be supported by the
State of Missouri. Is that so? But
the State has to support the peniten-
tiary, doesn't it? If the big cities,
who create crime, would take care of
their own convicts, it would be de-
cided relief to the State government.

Here is something worth thinking
about. There has not been day in
nearly two years when President Will
son could not have plunged this coun-
try into an awful war with Mexico
or some nation in Europe. There has
hardly been a day when foolish re-
mark, play to the gallaries or a de-
sire to exalt his own personality above
the best interests of America would
not have precipitated an armed con-
fiict with somebody. But Wilson is
a patriot above everything else. He
loves peace above everything else. He
hates war above anything on earth.
In the face of these admitted facts,
who would be willing to turn him down
in faor of rash man like Roosevelt
or some untried politician like Weeks
or Root? Questions like this are 60
ing to confront every citizen this year.
The answer will be another over
whelming majority for the party
whose standard will be carried by
this great American Democrat.

Some ten or fifteen years ago there
was a constitutional amendment sub
mitted in this State, the purpose of
which was to separate the sources of
local and State taxation. This would
have given ST. Louis the power to as
sess herself as high as she wanted to,
for local purposes, without giving the
State at large the benefit of that as
sessment. But st. Louis helped to
defeat the amendment.

BOWMAN AND CO.
ISSUES CHALLENGE
Management of Majestic Ac-
cepts; "The Fashion Girls"
Here For 3 Days More

THE Fashion Girls" who are Gid
ing gracefully about the Majestic stage
the better part of an hour and a half
every day for the benefit of the femi-
nine contingent of Harrisburg who are
interested in what milady will wear on
every occasion, have created much in
terest among those who appreciate
something novel in the form of amuse-
ment.
In connection with the appearance
of these attractive models the first half
of the week comes the announcement
that Bowman & CO., confident in the
belief that home industries cannot be
outdone by foreign concerns, have
issued challenge to Manager Hop
lSins, of the Majestic Theater, daring
him to keep the girls in the city for the
latter half of the week so that they
might wear some of Bowman's gowns
and give the people of Harrisburg
fair opportunity to Judge by compari-
son as to the soundness of the shop
at home" policy.
In reply to the bristling challenge
of the big store, Manager Hopkins re-
plies with the following ultimatum,
declaring his Willingness to accept the
challenge. The die has been cast and
on Thursday the contest between home
and foreign products will begin. The
letter follows:

Gentlemen-Beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your communication of yes

Theater to retain Miss Catherine Craw-
ford and her twelve Fashion Girls for

privilege of presenting your own style
show on the Majestic stage the last
three days of the week, using Miss
Crawford's models.
The challenge is accepted.
Miss Crawford has consented to lay
away her $4,000 worth of lingerie
and gowns after Wednesday night and
use your apparel exclusively the latter
half of the week.
Nearly 1000 persons saw Miss Craw-
ford's Fashion Girls yesterday. and it
Is likely that between 5000 and 10, 900
will see the display between now and
Wednesday night. In all probability
