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 will be cut out and efficiency put In Sir h!

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 the best 1 can offer you. Will you oome?” The undertaker had known l.on ever since he was born, and he told him he would no with him After the funeral Lon looked around the house. It needed repairing;.

He enn Rive Rood service, sell at fair prices, and he can advertise these facts in his home newspaper. He should also take full advantage of the manufacturer’s advertising.

INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad had often tried to have It done while 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 then; that is the best I can do. Will 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. lie worked on the house with the carpenter, and In the spring he paint ed It himself. His garden he planted 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 Ihe season he had enough to carry him through the winter comfortably. But he went to work with the car me AUGUSTA AUGUSTA.

Hartford, Conn.—The noun "con vict," referring to prisoners is no lon ger in use at the Connecticut state prison. That is one of a number of changes in prison rules made recently by Warden Garner, and which the warden says has had a beneficial ef fect on the prisoner.

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.
