THE MEETING TONIGHT.
We trust the meeting of Augusta’s
citizens this evening will result in
good lor the city. A great deal cun
1 e gained by giving an honeal and
open discussion to the question.
'in some It docs not appeal quite
"respectable" to eharge such a high
pi ci ior the "near-beer” license, be
cause the price itself is an advertise
nii'M of the fact that there is no dls
-I’OMiUon on the part of the city to
in-bid the sale of whiskey and alco
hi ic drinks. There are, In all com
munities. a great number of represen
tative citizens whose real objection Is
not so much to vice anil lawlessness
at it is to a vulgar display of such
things. Skeletons In the closet are
IB!her expected. One must accept them
philosophically and be polite enough
t. lh< m, hut when the (
door lias u glass front or la carelessly
lets open then the sense of propriety
—which, alas, Is generally far more
potent In Its power than a sense of
virtue—ls outraged.
What do the citizens of Augusta
want ? Is It law enforcement or a
less flagrant and glaring defiance of
the prohibition laws? I-et iih not de
■eelve ourselves. We cannot ride a high
herse of virtue on this question. The
city’ government Is no better or no
worftc than the Htizens would have It.
If the majority of Augusta’s citizens
desired to have the state laws enforced
In the city, the laws would he en
forced. If the meeting of citizens to
night stands squarely for law enforce
ment, it Is a safe bet that the laws
will he enforced. Officiate do not of
ten defy public opinion or stand Im
movable before an urgent public move
ment. Do we really want to dose the
liquor saloons or merely to limit them
end make the scandal less conspicu
ous?
"NO NEW NEED."
•Thin democratic congress has
dealt more generously with the
military establishment than any
republican congress, yet the de
mand for new armament and
greater appropriations was never
before ho Insistent. Part of this
clamor Is mischievous and unscru
pulous partisanship Part of It Is
eheer Jingoism. Part of It la sor
did and selfish. Hut hark of It all
Is a genuine and proper anxiety
on the part of the American peo
ple to know whether the United
■ .1 1 es is reasonably well protected."
This "genuine and proper anxiety on |
the part of the American people" Is
the sentiment which the republicans ,
had hoped to use In turning the who's
question Into one of Jingoism and agi
tation, in the fond hope that out >f
this Pandora's box of confusion and
mischief the opportunity to regain fa
vor for the patty in opposition might
possibly lie captured.
The president In his message said:
“Our policy will not he for an
occasion, it will he conceived as
a permanent and settled thing,
which we will pursue at all sea
sons, without haste and after a
fashion perfectly consistent with
the peace of the world, the abid
ing friendship of ststss. and the
unhampered freedom of all with
whom we deal."
The president desires to hide noth
ing. but desires to make the fullest
and most complete report to congress 1
of our situation, but as he very sagely
reminded ua, there is "no new need" 1
for the discussion of our policy of de
fense. Nor I* there reason to suppose
that the influence of overwrought I
nerves and excited synu nth os will
prevent this nation from following the
even tenor of Its way. 'The question
has not changed Its aspect because
limes are not normal.”
The need la old hut the apprecia
tion of It by the people Is new We j
trust “the new" and “the old" In this
case will work well together for \
quid, willed policy 111 which waste

grandmother had to he hurled, and
there was no money. He thought of

Lon harnessed Dick into the old
wagon and drove to the village. He
stopped at the undertaker’s.
“My grandmother died Inst night,"
he said; “will you come out to the
house nnd bury her? I have no money,
and 1 want to keep the house If I can,
but 1 will pay you In two years, or
you can take the house then! That Is

his grandmother was living, but she
would not consent, for fear the boy
could not pay for it.
But Lon had a plan In his mind, and
he was determined to try It. “If 1 can
get through the winter," he said, “I
am sure I can make a living after
that."
And one dny Dick was harnessed
again and Lon drove to the village
carpenter shop. “I have no money,"
he told the earpenter, “hut 1 want
some lumber and 1 want you to help
me repair my house. I can pay you
In two years or you can take the house

you take the Job?"
It was coming cold weather, and
there was little work to do, so the car
penter consented to do the work.
Then Lon got enough hay and grain
to carry Dick through the winter on
the same two-year promise.
How Lon got through that winter he
did not like to remember in after
years. He lived on the vegetables he
had been able to save from the gar
den, nnd he did not suffer from cold,
because he had plenty of wood, but
ho had little to cat besides the vege
tables.

carpenter, and In the spring he paint

early, and It yielded him a good crop.
Old Dick paid for the comfort ho
hail through the winter by carrying
the vegetables to the summer people
who lived along the road some miles
out of the village.
The prices I.on received for his veg
etables paid the undertaker before the
summer was half over, and he was
also able to pay something on the car
penter's bill, as well as to the man
who had supplied Dick with his winter
food.
Ix>n saved a little to care for himself
nnd Dick through the winter, and the
carpenter took him to help on inside
work as often ns he could, so that by
spring Lon had paid his debt to the
carpenter in work.
That spring he planted a large gar
den. and bought a cow, promising to
pay for it at the end of the summer.
Witli his vegetables and milk, Lon
made good profits, and at the end of

him through the winter comfortably.

WHAT DANIELS SAID.
“If war should be jumped on us
in a month would you feel that a de
fense would be successful?" Secretary
Daniels was asked.
“So far as the auxiliary transports
and similar ships are concerned we
can command them at any time,” the
secretary said. “And with the prog
ress we are making and the steady
annual Increase of the navy our coun
try - Is in a very good position today.”
Secretary Daniels added he “never
fully accepted," saying that the way
to prevent war was to be prepared to
fight, although it was much a mistake
not to have a strong navy.
“Have we a powerful navy now?” he
was asked.
“Yes, we have, but you never will
keep anything powerful if you stand
still.”—Extracts from Secretary Dan
iel's replies to House Naval Commit
tee yesterday.
COSTLY CHRISTMAS TREES.
The biggest private Christmas tree
ever seen in England was one which
the duke of Norfolk had cut from his
own estate and conveyed, with much
trouble, to Arundel Castle. It stood
seventy feet high, weighed nearly four
tons, and bore on its branches pres
ents to the value of $22,500. The
Christmas tree which Queen Victoria
gsve soon after her marriage to the
Prince Consort was forty feet high,
and Its crop of gifts was valued at
something like $45,000. A few >*ears
ago a man very well known in the
racing world determined to give a
very swagger Christmas tree on the
strength of his winnings on the turf
Though only sixty feet high, the tree,
withits presents, was worth $27,500.
for it hore nothing but gifts of Jewelry,
the branches glistening wMth beautlfui
necklaces, pins, brooches and rings.
ARBITRATION!

All that Carnegie has to show for his

an unprepared Belgium. Had Belgium,
like Switserand and Holland, put more

bitration and scraps of papeV, she might
