Our good president has. come' in for an unusual amount of men- ' tion for the. part he has taken in the peace negotiations now on between Russian land JaDanese plenipotentiaries.- ; ; , As regards the stiffening of Nick's spine we have par own opinion. He appears more m the light of one who is ' 'hardheaded' ' at the expense of the contents (if any there be) of said head. One would fancy that - the Rus sians' were the victors-to hear them talk. Nor is this all they are even conscienceless enough to undertake to make Christen dom believe that the Japanese forced the war upon the "Little Father." It appears that the czar is a bluffer, that he has an exalted opinion . of himself and all appurtenances thereunto be longing which is not warranted by facts., " Now, in the name of common sense whyshould the rational men of the world pander to such a silly notion and humor the whim of so weak a man? For the repre sentatives of nations to be. fall ing over each other in their en deavor to do this or that thing as the czar would desire does not seem to add luster to their names. It strikes us that it would be more charitable on the part of . other nations if they would break ' the news rindty but ' firmly to Russia that she is no longer "it. " Mt would be an act of kindness to make this point so plain to the "Little Father"-and his children that there would be no mistaking it ' . .Russia stands on her own dignity and talks loudly of what she will or will not do toward peace, and there is still much war- . ; like bluff in evidence. ;' So long as she feels this way what good can come of peace? 1 There is evident effort on all sides to get Russia out of her scrape without humiliating her. To what end, please? If she be not humiliated to such extent that she will re member it for sometime to come the lesson generally taught ' by" war will have been missed and the struggle vain. . If Russia is not made to realize hdr positjon the only object of war-will have been missed and thousands of lives ruthlessly sacrificed. If : the object of the war was not to teach Russia her place, to make her respect the rights of others, then inthe name ol all things, what Was its object? Irrationally and foolishly proud as she has proved herself -to be, how will she be taught her place without a proper dose of humi liation? It seems an awful thing to advocate, but it is possible that It would cost fewer human lives in the long run for the powers to mind their ofrn busi ness for a little longer and allow Japan to knock seme sense , into Russian craniums. : President Hoosevelt, among other notable men, no doubt means well, but as regards peace between these powers under existing conditions it seems his efforts will be futile. He and others may bring 1 about what has the appearance of peace, but, like beauty, it will be only skin deep. LEI WELL ENOUGH ALONE. A true and consistent friend of the principles of protection can find nothing satisfactory in the resolution adopted by the Na tional Reciprocity Convention in . Chicago last week. It is a mat of men of the reputed wisdom and conservatism of those coin- posing the above assemblage; should finally conclude their de- j liberations - with the following ! weak and unstable resolution: . j Krsolved, firft, That this committee I rerognizing the principle of protecii jn as the established policy of our count y, advocates immediate reciprocal iod- cessious, by means ot a dual or maxi mum and minimum tariff, as the only practical method of re living . at this time the -strained situation with which we are con routed. , , How on earth are you going to protect when you are eternally changing your policy? What, under such conditions, becomes the policy? A maximum and minimum tariff; a schedule for our friends and another for our enemies nice arrangement! It is safe to assume that all nations would soon become very friendly it would be water on their wheel for them to do so. ; What then is the result? The entire tariff schedule has baen reduced to a minimum and the United States is on almost a free trade basis. These o- reciprocity-free-trade-tariff -lowering jugglers lose sight of present conditions as good, or better, on - the whole than ever before . blessed the nation. Is the time when men profit by i experience never to come? Will lightning never smite the calamity howlers? : Is this country never to see the sun come up on a day when we boast a settled policy? How is a great manufacturer to operate when he has no assurance that his business may not be affected to morrow as the result of some wailing tariff tinker's manifesta tions? The Dingley tariff schedule has proved by far the best of , its kind the country ever had now, in spite of its i goo there has arisen a cr; should be in a great measuri nulled. -. True, from time to time it maybe found expedient to modify "and revise the schedule as applying to certain commodi ties, but it is not desirable nor advisable to wander far from the text as it at present exists. ; . r CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. - The Kind You Have Always Bought Beitrs the Signature of Notice. : - Sealed bids will be received by the County Court of Benton Co. on Satnidav, August 26th, at 10 a. m , for the repairs of the county bridge between the resi dences of Mr. Basey and Rufus Skiptoni in accordance with plans and specifica tions now on file in tie Clerk's office.
