p 0 rc9 can defend a right, but
force has never yet created a right.
The highest obligation of this
nation is to be true to itself.
It is not necessary to own peo
ple in order to trade with them.
A war of conquest is as unwise
as it is unrighteous.
If there is poison in the blood
of the hand it will ultimately
reach the heart*
There is no place in our system
of government for the deposit of
arbitrary and irresponsible power.
The command ‘Go ye into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature’has no gatling gun
attachment.
The destiny of this Republic is
in the hands of its own people—
upon the success of the experi
ment here rests the hope of hu
manity.
I am not willing that this nation
shall cast aside the omnipotent
weapon of truth to seize again the
weapon of physical warfare.
I would not exchange the glory
of this Republic for the glory of
all the empires that have risen
and fallen since time began.
Love, not force, was the weapon
ol the Nazarene; sacrifice for oth
ers, not the exploitation of them,
was his method of reaching the
human heart.
When trade is secured by force
the cost of securing it and retain
ing it must be taken out' ot the
profits, and the profits are never*
large enough to cover the expense.'
Men may dare to do in crowds
what they dare not do as individ

The army is the personification
of force, and militarism will in
evitably change the ideals of the
people and turn the thoughts of
our young men from the arts of
peace to the science of war.
Let us hope for the coming of
the day when human life—which
when once destroyed cannot be re
stored—will be so sacred that it
will never be taken except when
necessary to punish a crime al
ready committed, or to prevent a
crime about to be committed.
Rights never conflict; duties
never clash. Can it be our duty
to usurp political rights which be
long to others? Can it be our duty
to kill those who, following^ the
example of our forefathers, love
liberty well enough to fight for it?
If true Christianity consists in
carryiDg out in our daily lives the
teachings of Christ, who will say
that we are commanded to civilize
with dynamite and proselyte with

that Divine will must prove his
authority either by Holy Writ or
V evidence of a special dispensa
tion.

If secret influences could com

The whole difference between a
monarchy and a republic may be
summed up in one sentence. In
a monarchy a king gives the peo
ple what he believes i o be a good
government; in a republic the
people secure for themselves what
they believe to be a good govern
ment.
A large standing army is not
only a pecuniary burden to the
people, and, if accompanied by
compulsory service, a constant
source of irritation, but is ever a
menace to a republican form of
government.
Justice is as strictly due be
tween neignbormg nations as be
tween neighboring' citizens. A
highwayman is as mush a robber
when he plunders in a gang as
when singly; and the nation that
makes an unjust war is only a
great gang.
If, in this country, where the
people have the right to vote, Re
publican leaders dare not take the
side of the people against the
great monopolies which have
grown up within the last few
years, how can they be trusted to
protect the Fillipinos from the
corporations which are waiting to
exploit the islands.
The young man upon reaching
his majority can do what he
pleaseB. He can disregard the
teachings of his parents: he can
trample upon all that he has been
taught to consider sacred; he can
disobey the laws of the state, the
laws of society and the laws of
God. He can stamp failure upon
his life and make his very exist
ence q curse to his fellow men,
and he can bring his father and
mother in sorrow to the grave; but
he cannot . annul the sentence,
‘The wages of sin is death.’
A small standing army and a
well equipped and well disciplined
state militia are sufficient in ordi
nary times and in an emergency
the nation should in the future as
in the past place its dependence
upon the volunteers who come
from all occupations at their
country’s call, and-return to pro
ductive labor when their services
are no longer required—men who
fight when the country' needs
fighters and who • work when the
country aaeeda wojrk^rB.
Imperialism would be profitable
to the army contractors; it would
be j*ofitaMeto| the ship owners,
who would carry live soldiers to
the Philippines and bring | dead
soldiers back. It would be profit
able to those who would seize
upon the franchises and it would
be profitable to the officials
whose salaries would be fixed here
and paid over there; but to the
tarmer, to the laboring man, and
to the vast majority of those*, en
gaged in other occupations, it
would bring expenditure without
return and risk without reward.

WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
Russians Fired on Americans and
Many Were Killed.
New York, Aug. 13.—A special
cable dispatch to the Evening
World to-day, dated Che Foo,
Aug. 9, via Shanghai, pays :
“A terrible mistake occurred
at the taking of Yang Tsun.
Russian artillery opened fire on
the American troops. Before the
mistake was discovered many
American soldiers had been killed
or wounded by the Russian shells.
‘‘The Fourteenth took part in
the attack on the Chinese tren
ches. As the Chinese fled the
regimen t entered and occupied one
of the Chinese positions.
“A Russian battery, some dis
tance off, did not notice the move
ment. It opened fire on the posi
tion and planted shells among the
American troops.
“The Russians were quickly
notified and ceased their fire.”
ROBINSON TO HANG.
Soldiers Prevented Lynching of
the Negro.
Justice moved with lightning
speed in Cobb county at Robin-
Bon’s trial. The law was too swift
tor the would-be-lynchers who
sought the life of Sam Robinson,
the negro who assaulted Mrs. Ida
Inzer, near Vining station last
week. *
Within the brief period of nine
ty minutes the brute had been
tried, convicted and sentenced.
He will be hanged Sept. 1 in pri
vate within one mile of the Cobb
county court house.
Mrs. Inzer positively identified
Sam Robinson as her assailant,
and he admitted his gnilt. He
says he does not know why he
committed the diabolical deed, but
that ho is ready to die. '
More than a thousand men from
the country had assembled, and
but for the presence of the soldiers
A lynching would undoubtedly
have occurred.
After the trial Robinson was es
corted to the special train and ta
ken back to Atlanta and placed in
a celt in .murderers row in the
tower. , - - ' •
