THE ONLY KIND OF PEACE

77HERE is possibility of peace without victory for
the allies This nation is just getting started It
has made up its mind that the present German gov
eminent the president has said never be our friend
That government must be crushed. 1t is the enemy of
mankind 1t is not certain that it wants peace on any
terms that the allies would be prepared to grant
We do not wonder that there is disposition in Wash
ngton to doubt the sincerity of the making the
ent offer But that is not question of the slightest i'm
portance The only peace possible one imposed by the
United States and its allies We said long ago that peace
to be permanent must be made with the German people
Nothing has happened to change opinion There can
be no dealings between this government and the Hohen
zollerns We want more Bernstorffs Boy-Eds or
Papens in this country. We have already had more of
German kutu than stand 1t not time for peace
talk
What is needed is bold, vigorous and aggressive war
fare The suggestion of a Boshevki- Hohenzoern
peace insult to all who have the slightest respect for
humanity.
The Teutonic nuisance must be abated forever
The Teutonic menace to civilization must be emi-
mated.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

A financial expert in Washington

Capital is timid these days."
Timid? A weak word.
Capital is scared to death,

1t has hidden itself away.
We have dared it to come out in

There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
He bought his wife a new silk gown
In a way OF q surprises

She looked at him in deep disgust,
And then she said, said she:
Il could have bought that dress down.

gumption you will win, though
all the planets may be in a plot to
hold you down. So many live from
mouth to hand, and spend their life
time pounding sand, out yonder in the
rain! They've had advantages ga
lore, and golden chances at their door
have Knocked, and knocked in vain.
With good intentions in their hearts,
they failed in all the busy marts where
worth while things are done; they
found this world killing frost, they
had no gumption and they lost, while
chaps with gumption won. The man
with gumption hews his way from
lowly station, day by day, to some
thing high and fine: as Lincoln rose
from low estate, until upon the White
House gate one day he nailed his
sign. The man without it hits the
pike with everything that mortals like,
to cheer him on his road; but all his
ventures turn out i'll; at last the poor
house on the hill becomes his punk
abode! IT'S gumption spurs the laggard
step! 1t stands for sense and grip
and pep, and all things hard to beat;
twas Eli coined the word, l think,
and Eli was the honored gink who
landed with both feet.

GERMANY AND THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

From all this it appears that the
Monroe doctrine can not be justified.
So it remains only what we Eu-
ropeans have described as an aspira-
ton. And SO it remains only what we
Europeans almost universally consider
II. an impertinence. With a noisy cry
they try to make an impression on the
world and, especially with the stupid,
succeed. The inviolability of the Amer
lean soil is invoked without there bein o
at hand the slightest means of wardine
off the attack of a respectable Euro
pan power. Vollert, ALL
deutsche Batter, Jan. II, 1903.
We must desire that at any cost a
German country containing some 90
100000 to 100000 Germans may grow
up in the coming century in South Bra
zli-and that, too, no matter whether
1t remains a portion of Brazil or be-
comes an independent state, or enters
into close relationship with our en-
pire. Unless our connection with Bra
zil is always secured by ships of war.
and unless Germany is able to exercise
pressure there. our development is
threatened" Won SCHNEIDER.
"Handels-und Machtpolitik," l. P. SO.
Schneider was at the time of his death,
in the first year of the war, the most
distinguished economic historian in

STRAWBERRIES
FALLING SHORT
QUALITY AND QUANTITY BOTH
DECLINE AS SEASON
NEARs END.

A report from strawberry head
quarters yesterday afternoon is to
the effect that the crop is falling sur
prisingIy short this year Of all ex-
peetations. The prediction now Is
that carload shipments will not hold
till the last Of the month and maybe
not longer than Tuesday. II this be
true Il will be only 10 days season
when everyone expected a season
Of from three to four weeks. The
berries seem 10 have ripened all at
once and many were lost on ae-
count Of an insufficient picking
force.
Nine or ten cars have been shipped
to date which is an average Of about
car each day. Last year about
10 cars were shipped and, under nor
NAL conditions, 20 or 80 cars should
be produced. The prospect now is
for about IL to 10 cars or about half
a crop. The report also states that
the berries are not as large nor Of
as good quality as at first and that
the prices have dropped about si.bo
per crate, selling yesterday for $3.50
for first grade and $500 per crate
for seconds.
Ashton Hayes is planning TO 60

Of $50 colored boys and girls who are

Miss Isabelle Ballantyne, Of Leetonia.
o., and Miss Katharine veach. Of
Chautauqua. c N. r., were so seriously
injured that they died two hours later.
when their automobile was struck by
westbound Louisville a Intcrurban
freight car at Bonita Station. where
the electric line crosses the State pike,
n quarter Of a mile west Of Simpson
vile. at noon Friday.
The baggage car struck the auto
mobile about the middle and crushed
II against a telephone pole. The ma
chine was torn in two, and the front
part, in which Mr.. and Mrs. Isham
were riding, was carried fifty yards
up the track before Il was crushed
by the trucks Of the heavy car.
The body Of Mr.. Isham was buried
beneath the wreckage Of his engine
and was terribly mangled. II was
necessary TO 'jaek up" the car before
il could be recovered. The body Of
Mrs. Isham was also In the tangled
mass Of twisted and broken fragments
Of the car. but II wns not SO badly j.
figured.
Miss vecch died at 2:20 and Mis-
Ballantyne ten minutes later.
After reaching the hospital the lat
tier regaincd consciousness and asked
that II. J. Thracker. Of Chardoh. o..
be notified. Mr.. Thrscker, in telc.
gram. advised the hospital authori
ties that he would come TO Shelby
willie to take charge Of the body.
The crossing where the accident
occurred is an exceedingly dangerous
one from the fact that the L. q I.
and the l.. a N. tracks cross the pike
at this point within few feet Of each
other. The approach Is through a
cut so deep that n train from the
east cannot be seen by persons travel
ing the pike from the west, as was
the case yesterday.
No longer ago than last February
a Louisville chauffeur was killed and
two Anderson county men were Sc
riously injured there by a Chesapeake
4 Ohio train. and numerous other ae.
cidents have occurred.
The only eyewitness to the tragedy
was Hiram Z. Jones, farmer who
resides IN the neighborhood. He saw
the approach Of both the car and th'
automobile and realized the Imminent
danger, which he did his best TO aver
by shouting and waving frantieallS
TO the party. They either did no
hear him or failed to comprehend In
signals, and drove on TO their dealt
without the slightest intimation o
their peril.
