The pro-German and the pro-Alltea temper Ik more obvious In the com ment which we have ho far Been, than the pro-Amerl<on Kcnttment. Thla. to our mind !h lur the mnnt gerlnun angle of the Incident. ll ie painful In (he extreme toflnd Mich a dlHinißltton to a partlHan and rn.bltlered view of the question. While II Ih rather natural that the English people theniKi Ivck who have been un aware of the tinneceaanry reatrlctlon of American trade which the English government has InipoHed upon Ameri can liiihlncKH Khinild at the first fliinh he MiiHidctoiie of Home underlying an tipathy in the note from the United Wates; 11 does not geem to ub natural, or even excusable the! the people of the United Htutos should make a sen sation out of IhlH Incident and use It as a meane by which to win converts to their "side" In the European em brogllo There ts nothing eu far either In the aplrtt In which the note Ik writ ten or In the spirit In which It has been received by the British govern ment to Indicate a sensation. There is no cause for lashing ourselves Into an Intense resentment because Eng land has gone too far In her Inter ference with trade, but there ts every reason to take a firm stand with any and all of the nations, which In the heat of an Intense anxiety to hold an advantage over the enemy Interferes with the rights of American citizens to trade In neutral ports. We think only the most overheated Imaginations can turn this Incident to account In Increasing resentment and antagonism between the United State* and Great Britain. A peace of an hundred year* has existed between this country and Great Britain It has been held despite many a strain The present Incident ta but a ripple In comparison with some of the differences which have come up and died down. Both natlone are friendly, both de sir* to act with fairncaa to the other and both nations have shown a wil lingness tn the past to compromise and preserve kindly and grnerous feelings. There Is no occasion for bitterness and 111 feeling tn th* present little cotl trempe though partlsun Americans are endeavoring to make It one. MILITARY PREPARATIONS JEAL OUSLY WATCHED. Th# fact that the Japaneae diet has resisted the pressure of th# mili tary end refused to make enormous expenditures for military equipment la accepted tn this country as Indicating a for more temperate and deliberate state of mind that had bean supposed to exist In Japan. There are Jingoes ln%)l nations and of course the Jingoes make n greater Impression than the deliberate thinker. The Atlanta Journal thinks that neith er the Jingo of this country or the Jin go of Japantruly representative. "The Japanese alarmist urges preparation for an Imagined war with the United States, while the American alarmist urges prepara tion for war with Japan. Between the two. If both had their way a real war might he contrived, I.ucktly, however, neither of them represents sentiment. The An rrtean people wish to continue the peaceful relations of commerce end friendship which tong have ex isted between their republic end the virile empire across the Pa cific; and the Japanese people we believe, are of the same mind. No art or word Intended to tweak down this concord should he conn tensneed " While we fully realize that the dan ger of Increased armanrnts Is that they foster Increased suspicion and In creased fears between nations, we are convinced n« \ertheless, that every nation should be governed by the act ion of the prevailing custom among natlona tn providing for defense. It may be at the close of this present war that a reaction axalnst heavy arms - menta may art in, hut until this time we can see no reason to take the risk 111 I, ONS OOU.AR- AU V: fj, Jmjlr !| ji! : ini!|i^< A^ : L rt vj HT rfl '/ sate , .

We cannot see why the preparations mado In Japan for war should he ac cepted as personal to the United Hint os. Neither can wo see why our own pre parations should be Jealously watched by any nation. The effect of the wnr In Europe Is to make all nations realize that war Is no longer a vague and Improbable contingency and that the practical thing 1« to be prepared for defense lrf case trouble cornea. This Jealous watchfulness of what every other coun try Is dotnK makes It obvious that It Is to the Interest of every power to make such preparations as It proposes, to make with as little publicity as pos sible. We do not fancy that Japan fulls to realt/.e the unwisdom of ad vertising what her activities in this line are. TAKING LIBERTIEEB WITH OTH ER’S EARS. Man In his blundering way seems to have shaped Ills Ideas and prin ciples after nature’s pluiiH. Nature pinvldes us with ears, entirely un defended ami unprotected. It pro vide;! us with voices which we may use at will . Respect for the defence less Is one of the very latest and finishing touches In our social evolu l lon. That ts why. perhaps, ws hear so much more about the right of free speech than we do about the snnelty of the human ear. The way we go about pouring out our expressions and opinions Into ears which though open are not at all times hospitable, Is a violation of the higher rights and at times a cowardly art of advantage. The right of free speech Is qualified and moderated by the right of Indi viduals to remain unbored and eon tented. It becomes a somewhat dell rule question to deride how far the right of free speech should tie enroll aged to proceed. At times we lose ourselves In confusion and begin to wonder If there really Is any such right at all among refined and civ ilised persons A special committee, composed of prominent men In New York, members of ttie Industrial Economics Depart ment of the Civil federation have been Investigating the right of free speech and endeavoring to define cer tain limits and restrictions under which It may he indulged. The Inves tigation was prompted by somewhat recent disturbances In New York which grew out of the Infringement of the right of free speech upon other rights. The report of the committee said: “A review of the rases shows that while free speech ts the right to express one's opinions orally. It is not the right to do so In lan guage of any character, since w'ords which tend to Incite to disorder. or language which ts blasphemous or obscene may not be used. Neither Is It the right to express one’s opinion for every purpose, since one msy not incite to disorder or crime or advocate criminal anarchy. Neith er Is free speech the right to make one's self heard at any time or place, since the right may not be exercised at times amt places when so ding lltereferes with equal rights of other persons. Hut these necessary restrictions upon speech do not Impair the reason able freedom of speech guaranteed by the Const It lit ton. We fear there Is no ronstltuttonal guardianship of the sanctity of the human ear; but, nevertheless, the progress of refined living clamors for the unwritten law, providing Its pro tection. The very fart t lint nature provides us with no courteous means of self protection against persons with hobbles, opinions and obsessions I should make us realign the '‘noblesse oblige” of the situation.

One day Fanchon was hungrier than usual; she had always known what it was to ho hungry, but now she waz almost faint for lack of food. “1 wonder,” she said to horself, “if T could not earn something by my dancing?" and when the hurdy-gurdy came along and she had danced to its music she held up the tattered rem nants of her skirt, and a few stray pennies dropped into it. As she ate the cakes which the pennies bought at a little bakery around tho corner she wondered still further, “if I can make pennies dancing on the street to the hurdy-gurdy, perhaps 1 could get a chance to make a fortune ts 1 could dance on the stage to the inusto of an orchestra.” She had never been Inside a theater, but she knew where there was one, and when she had walked there she waited wondering Just what she say when she got to the man who hired the dancers. When, after ask ing many questions, she found out where his office was and when, after a long wait, they let her In to see him, she was so frightened that she scarcely knew what to say, and he had to help her with questions before he knew Just what she wanted. The man turned to a piano. The air he played was one to which she had danced a hundred times in the street, and, half dosing her eyes to shut out the strange surroundings, she danced Just hs she had danced so many times before with all her grace and child ishness. The man played on for a long time, watching her over hts shoulder. At last, tired, Fanehon stopped. "Will you hire me?" she asked. "I hired you when you began danc ing," be said, “and you have alreudy earned the dress tn which you will make your first appearance, which shall he the first of the coming week.” "And I am to have a new dress?” she asked. “You are to go to the costumers from here," he said, "artd she will fit you to the sort of a dress suitable for you." When Fanehon saw the dress that she was to wear tt seemed to her that nothing she had ever seen was so beautiful. There was gay embroidery on It "and glittering spangles and lace that she thought must have cost a fortune And there were stockings to match, and when tt had all been fitted and ttie costumer told her she could go, her feet scarcely touched the ground on her way home. She looked forward to the beginning f the week with mixed fear and Joy— I Joy that she was to have a chance, jfear that she might not dance her best. Hut on the night before she was to [ appear there came to her the know!- ! edge that she had no shoes to dance tn. She had the beautiful gown, the 1 wonderful stockings, but only her old and worn-out shoes. She trembled as she thought that after all she might not get her chance. .“If there was onlv aoma on« who THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. jbt ms.mwiM3 would help me,” she said. And be fore the words were out of her mouth she heard some one say. “Perhaps X can help you,” It was all dark in the room, but ns Fanehon turned she saw a fairy all dressed in white and on the end of the wand which she carried was a firefly-, which lighted the room enough for them to see each other. “You do not know who I am,” said her visitor, “’but 1 am a dancing fairy, and it is I who am always with you When you are dancing your best, and I was with you when you danced for the man who promised you a place. I know very well what tt is that Is troubling you—you have no shoes— but I am going to help you. You are to keep quite still and not say any thing, whatever you see.” Ttva fairy rapped three times and Immediately appeared three of the strangest-looking little men that Fan ehon had ever «eeen. They were not as high ns her knees, but they had the Jolliest faces that she could remem ber. They bowed very politely to the fairy before she said to them: “I want you to make me a pair of magic danc ing shoes, and they are to fit this little girl, who In my friend.” Fanehon watched the goblins as they made ready. One took a tape measure from his pocket. Another unrolled a piece of the softest leather and a third made ready with needle and stout ■ thread. How fast they worked. It was only a few minutes before the first shoe was finished and handed to the fairy, who told Fanehon to try it on. It fitted perfectly, and In a minute more the other one was done, and then the fairy said: "Will you not dance for the goblins?” "Gladly,” said Fanehon, and ns she began dancing her feet felt lighter than they ever had before, and ns she finished the goblins clapped their hands before they bowed again to the fairy and disappeared. How great a success she made It told by the fact that she Is dancing still and that she Is famous all over the world, but only Fanehon knows that the fairy Is always with her and that the magic shoes will not let her fall.

He was Two-Gun Hicks,! a principal in a score of pistol duels, 1 who was ordering a drink for him-1 self. 1-east of all. Bad Ike, the local bully, walks up, not knowing Hicks reputation, invites him to have a drink, lllcks replies that ho does not rare to drink with him ns he does not like hts mug. Ike pulled hts gun, but too late, lllcks shoots him before he has taken atm. This exhibition of daring quite won the attention of the bad men and the regard of the women who frequented the place. Hayes, the gambler, their ; former favorite, saw all this but cared I little. He was lu love with the woman; now coming down the road, the wlfoi at the town drunkard. Hicks also saw her ami fell In love. Booming the' dance girls, he walked out of the door and met her. - But. try as he could, he j failed to imiVess her. He pondered; over the fact that she was married.! and though he had never failed to) shoot a man when he got tn hts wav,) he hesitated tn this Instance.

Which he never could have done, being so slow. However, Joe Jtuks accosted Hicks and said drunkenly to him, “I’ll give you until 6 o'clock to get out of town.” Hicks scorned him, turning his back. Jinks left, and in the meantime the gambler was filling him with drinks, urging him to carry out his plan, knowing that he would be killed; thinking that with Jinks out of the way he could win his wife. Mrs. Jinks begs Hicks to spare her husband, tell ing him that if he loves her to leave town.
