Solicitor •Genet al Dorsey, who first tame into the limelight in the Frank case, was proposed for governor but chose, instead, to give exhibitions in lung exercise In behalf of Little Joe. Now Little Joe needs a whole lot of talk; that’s evident And Dorsey is a captivating speaker and diawa the multitude of mountaineers—it may be from curiosity, but let that pass. But here is the main question, and you can’t scratch it out In telling the farmers how to vote, isn’t Dorsey doing Little Joe more harm than good’’ It looks us if. when Dorsey talks with great eloquence and lung power, in favor of hia friend that old moun tain aides would naturally ask how com* he don’t talk for himself If the real answer he evaded, the next thing would be: If Dorsey pleads for Littla Joe so well .why ain’t he the man t»» send to the senate instead of the little un? Then. If talking, thinking and work ing for the people is what you want, what's the matter with Hoke Smith, who is already on the Job getting money and things for the farmer, re gional banks and what not? Seem* ilk* Dorsey is talking for Little Joe and working for Hoke. Lead wise It appears that way to a parson up a tree. THE WAR.

On the sen, no naval battle of im portance ts looked for Oermany will play hide and seek with the English fleet, using the Kiel canal, and keep ing close to her shore foruf cations. The only way for England to force a big naval engagement would he to divide her fleet, so as to bo prepared for a Herman rush in both the North f*ea and In tiie Baltic. Evidently England will not do this and will con tent heraelf to keeping the Herman fleet bottled up as much ss possible. In case the land forces could take the Kiel Canal, then England would have the Herman 'fleet at her mercy, and would douhtlsas quickly destroy It. with Us superior force and weight of numbers The war on sea will be confined to occasional single engagements, the use of mines, torpedoes, etc each side trying to pick off a battle ship, while neither etde is willing to risk s gen eral engagement under the terms of fared NO WAR TAXES FOR THIS COUNTRY. Thers la a threatened deficit tn rev enue of this country owtng to the lack of Imports caused hy the war and It hea been euggested that the I'nlted States would soon have to put on a war tax to meet this temporary loss tn income This would be a serious mistake and It is not necessary No war faxes are necessary for this countrv to mast thta situation The net balance If the fnlted <Uates Treasury on August Ist was over 141 millions while !4* millions more are carried on the hooks for money spent on the Panama Canal There are •rer 140 niolloßi of Panama bond* T authorized by law still In the Treasury' and the United States is entitled to sell ihese bonds to reimburse Itself for the money advanced for the canal const ruction out of its genera! funds Iri other words the United Htaiea Treasury Is in position to make good an annual deficit of 175 millions a year in loss of revenue from imports for- a period of two years without the imposition of w;ir taxes in this coun try. In the face of such a showing, it. is foolish to talk of levying a war tax upon the huslru*ss of this country It will not be done. DURATION OF THE WAR. At this stage of the war there ecorns to he abaohitely nothing upon which to base a time limit for its duration. It has Just begun. The Germans have not yet reached their objective, which is France—that is, In considerable bodies The German forcer, were taken by surprise in the outset. They started out to take France by surprise and crush her l>efo’'• the* K issians could reach the Gorman border. They ex pected a tree passage through Bel gium or at best, n short struggle. In th!•* the. were reckoning without their boat. The forts at liege proved to he form idable obstacles in til Mr pathway and may yet prove Insuperable to their further advance in that direction. De lays are dangerous and their plan o( am prising the French has been frtis traded. The time consumed In the attempt to reduce the forts at Liege was Indeed precious time and It has been sufficient to enable the French t<> mobilize th !r troops. Ho there will be no surprising the French. The In< t remain*, nevertheless, the* Germany Is the best prepared in the Impending struggle and she was first In the field with an organised force. That is the effect of German dlscip line and German organisation. Bhd i ha for years kept an Immense stand ing army and was ready to strike on the minute. But the Germans will never go t«* Paris. They may penetrate into French territory where they will find the allies of the Triple Entente pre pared to receive them. After fighting a battle or battles, they will he forced ba« k beyond their own borders an I compelled to defend German soil. This they are prepared to do to the last extremity The Teuton’* love for the Fatherland Is very strong within him and he will brave death with all Its horrors when his native land Is invaded With stout hearts and all the Ynoriem enginery of war the re sistanre will he stubborn and pro longed. Germany is well preps red, flnan < ally and otherwise, for sustaining • long war. The invaders of Germany will find It one vast fortress bristling with fighting machines of strang* make and huge killing capacity. They will find a country bisected by canals and canalized river* affording ready transportation for large armies and enormous supplies. They will find the three hill lons, exacted from France ms a war Indemnity, still intact In the vaults of the the enor mous savings in the tanks which a thrifty population has been years ac cumulating. And above all, they will find a coun try teeming with agricultural and mineral wealth, and In the highest stale of develeopmCnceet, the opera lions in both of which are conducted on the Isrgst scale and In the most scientific manner. They will also find, aH the companion piece of this picture, active, flourishing and ag gresalvs industries that have been covering the globe with their varied manufactures, and carried in the ships of their own make and flying the German flag. Germany is a self-supporting, inde pendent country. Therefore it would he quite hazardous to venture a pre dirt lon. when the war In In ito earliest I stage, as to it* probable duration. NOW FOR THE TUNNEL. ClvllUatlon has been making time while English sentiment was forming for a tunnel under the English chan nel to connect Calais In France with Inner In England. If the tunnel nai ready and In oper ation. the English troops sent to the nsslstanie of France could now pass under the channel and not over It. Had It not been for England's apa thetic attitude toward France during the Franco-Prussian war and the sub sequent coldness between the two Hons that enaued. It la probable that Imlat tltla grand enterprlae would be a reality. The fact that there Is at present no land pasaage between the two countrlea Is tine in lack of en terprising spirit on the part of the French; but rather to the hone hendadnesa of the military advisers of John Bull The enterprise originated with the French engineer Msthlen about 1800. The or ct was next revived in 1880 hy Tltoine de Harm tide and was re carded with favor both by Inula N'a ppoleott and by Queen Victoria. It was pronounced practical by experts and companies were formed both by- French and English capttallsls to con st met the tunnel It had the endorse ment of the leading commercial bodies of I’arls and London. Twenty-five yeare ago the actual work of construc tion started and apparently nothing stood in the way of the ultimate ful filment. But to no purpose tin each occasion the timid councils of the British war office prevailed and the work was abandoned Ignoring the commer cial advantages that would accrue, they claimed that the tunnel would be s serious menace to the defense of Fnglsnd. Erlor to 1804 France was held hy the Knglish people as the one great object of fear and dread. Since that time British sentiment against the project hat been kept sllve by repre sentations of the danger from mines to an army while In tranalt through the tunnel Main, It was said that the cotuiuerlna enemy might demand that It l>e foreyer retrain open to the vital center of England Recently the subject has again been broached in the British Parliament, and there yyere signs then of a more favorable view of the subject being tsken The opposition was lets stren uous than heretofore and the hope is still entertained that this great work *lll yet be accomplished Perhaps the l resent Intimate relations between J'rlush Hon and La Bell* France and the favorable outcome of the war. In "hi h they are allies wiu go far tty ward bringing about the consumma tion of a work that civilisation ha* long demanded. MILITARY AND CIVILIAN RELATIONS SHOWN; TRIAL Munich.—A civil court proceeding growing indirectly out of a trial by court-martial, has directed attention to an extraordinary case showing once more the relations existing between military persons and civilians. The cast- In question ia some months old. hut it escaped notice at the time it occurred. The defendant before the courtmartial was a Lieutenant Beider of the garrison In Ingostadt. The tarts a* brought out on trial were these: Lieutenant Beider’s man servant had a quarrel with the domestic s*r vatlt of th** landlord of the house in which the lieutenant and his wife had an apartment, in the course of which the maid declared that "the lieuten ants are a dirty psek who don’t clean up their mess. They are a brood. The lieutenant’s wife sent for her husband ‘ Thla female says we are a brood." ahe said, pointing to the maid. The lieutenant thereupon struck the girl twice with his saber. "You are acting like a washerwom-, an to mix up in such n quarrel,” said the wife of the landlord, who had seen the occurrence. "You ought to he ashamed as an officer to strike a woman with your sword.” The lieutenant struck the woman on the face with his hand, she raised n broom against him and he attacked her with his sword, cutting both her hands. The courtmartial found fielder guil ty and sentenced him to 45 days’ im prisonment in a fortress The supe rior military court at Nuremberg, to which the lieutenant appealed, acquit ted him, on the ground that ho had acted in self-defense. Actions for in sult against the two women resulted in a fine of sl2 for the wife of the landlord and $2.50 for the maid. Their appeals were dismissed. WANT A REVIVAL IN METHODIST CHURCH London. —Many prominent Metho dists made a plea at the annual Wes leyan conference held at Leeds for a revival in the Methodist church. The need for such an effort it was stated was acknowledged on every side. All the churches reported a falling away in membership, and a lack of enthu siasm of those who remained In out ward connection with the church. Methodist prayer meetings, said the Rev S. F. Collier, former president of the conference, had suffered ter ribly by getting into routine. What they needed today was the note tri umphant. While the rest of the world had been raising the standard they of the church had been lowering it. “It is bad form to be enthusiastic in the pulpit nowadays. It Is bad form to he enthusiastic anywhere about religion. I suppose in some pulpits if I cultivated a doleful voice and a heavy manner l should he look ed upon as a scholar and rank above an evangelist.” "I wonder sometimes If we are not becoming too respectable,” said Sir John Barnsley in discussing the mat ter. "The Methodist church used tj be the church of the poor. It has lost that inheritance and has handed over to others the work of redeeming the common people.” CROWN PRINCE PERMITTED TO BECOME A SAILOR Copenhagen.— Tn his ambition to be come a sailor, the fifteen-year-old crown prince ha* at last won hie way and obtained his father*| consent. He 1b now a cadet on the "Abs&lon,” and gets precl*ely the same treatment a* any other cadet*. The king h*<l wanted the prince to continue hi* Btudlea until he bad passed the en trance examinations to the university. The crown prince is a very demo cratic youth. He has been a mem ber of the Boy Scout* for three year* and has often entertained hi* fellow ecouts at the castle without any so cial restrictions. Whatever fell to the iot of the ordinary scout, he experi enced. He speak* English fluently and makes a hobby of America*} authors. For that reason he is vary eager to visit America, which he now hopes so do soon a* a sailor. SOME STANDPAT PREVARICATIONS Secretary of War Oarrlaon ha* taken the rather unusual course of writing to a New York atnndpat newspaper to cor rect an editorial article of varied mieln formAlton upon affairs, in the Philippine island*. This charged that the Wilson administration was forcing out of office Dr. Victor llelser. the very able direc tor of the bureau of health In the talanda; that a native physician was to take his place, and that as a result of thla change there had been a great Increase In mor tality and sickness The secretary of war has no trouble In showing that these statements are all entirely without foundation, and he concludes with this little plea for fair play: "Our respon sibility I* very' great In the Philippine Islands, and we are endeavoring to ful fill our duty wisely and fully. You, I know, have no desire to embarrass us by creating impression* which proceed from misinformation as to facts.” This little incident is hut a fair sam ple of the almost incredible Republican campaign of lies about the Democratic national administration.
