THE OBSERVER. THUBSDAY....1UBCH 17,1904 FAYETTEVILLE N. C. X. J EALI, Baiter aai Frepileter. latabUshsl ll U1T COUII IOMTOI 01 TBI wit Ballinere Ran. Connt Leo Tolitoi, the Russian reformer, novelist and philosopher, defines hie, attitude toward Iba war between bit own country and Japan in the following ebaraoteriatia statement ! "I am neither (or Baatia nor (or Japan, bat (or the laboring people of both eoDDtriea, deeeired by their Govern ments and obliged to fight againat their welfare, conscience and religion." It la eesreely necessity to explain that Tolitoi'a bold declaration will not be published in St. Petersburg and Tokio. When nations are engaged in whole sale murder they are very aensitira to criticism. Even during onr, own civil eonfliet men bad to be very guarded in their speech and writings and yet the United Statea ii preeminently the land of the (rea and the borne of tbe candid and plain spoken. In time of war governments proceed upon the assumption that every man ought to be for bis eoontry whether the latter be fighting (or a good sense or a bad one, whether its motives be noble or ignoble. It is easy to nnderrtand why tbe sympathies of the Rnsiian reformer are with the laboring people of Russia and Japan, who are fighting the battles of their respective governments. Exoept in a war for the defense of his own rights and liberties, tbe plain eitisen, the humble private soldier, has little to pain, whatever the result of the eon fliet may be. He bas no chance to acquire riches from contracts. He dots not become a politician of pnwer and renown and bold laeratjve cffisee ia which thrift sometimes follows inti mate association with the mee who sell supplies to the government. Opportunities for promotion to commis sioned rank are rarely presented to him. He gets a pittance tor serving his coun try during the period of fighting and for killing his country's foes. He may eome out of tbe war nnteatbed, but, as frequently happens, unfitted for the nursuits of peace, a victim of the de moralising conditions of a soldier's life. He may be maimed in battle or be may be enfeebled by disease for tbe rest of his existence. A grateful eoon trv will erive him a pension that will provide him with the necessaries of life that is. the Uoited States wonld care (or him to th;s extent In Russia or Japan he might fare mneh worse. Even in Great Britain veterans who ebarged with tbe Light Brigade at Balaklava have lived on ebarity and died in the workhouses. Really, it wonld aeem that Count Tolstoi has rood reasons for feeling more aympa tby with tbe "laboring people," who ere food for powder, than tor tbe poli tieians and diplomats who send thsm to the front to fight the battles of quarrelsome governments. umvoi. Tht Comaonar. A eaanal reading of the corporation dailies is enough to convinee any one that there is a concerted plan on foot arsons: the reorganisers to prevent in struetions.

In the war now going on ia the tar Kut the Csr of all the Busstas is said to be Christian and the Mikado of Japan is said to be Pagan, yet tbe sympathy of tbe world seems to be with Japan in tbe coolest, un, now strange all these things appear to one who reads history and remembers what he reads 1 It is now claimed that woman has been emancipated from serfdom and is now free to eompete wira tbe sterner sex in all wori tn eiviiisea countries, and that this ia right and is as it should be. We have all this time doubted tbe advisability of enoouie ging tbe new fashiona that lead away from the Divine plan, women were tne mothers in Israel and the most prec ioui adornment in the borne, and we think it ought to be so yet in all coun tries, but we may have to give it op yet Some one may invent aa ineuba tor lor the propagation of me species. We saw a woman a few days ago split ting rails. She was swinging tbe maul in genuine Abe iiineoln style. We may have to give np onr ideal of woman bnt we will never believe it ia right. Tbe right to tbe wrong did yield My Donald and his eoontry tell upon Culloden field. So sang that old Scots lady in tbe time of Prince Charlie. It is claimed that crime is on the in crease and we see many and various reasons assigned as to the cause. We have our idea. It used to be said in lbs olden time that the negro children sere just as wise as the adult or old grey, it is now applicable to tne young Caucasian, and the world is crowded with teachers and preaehera of every imaginable theory in morali ty, polities and religion, and as a role these preaehers do not practise what they preach and their children know these things. Tbe man who fails to practice what be preaches is himself tbe most formidable adversary of the doe trine he pretends to advocate. Example is tar more potent than pre eept, and before amaa is competes! to command he must learn to obey. Obedienee is the end of law. We have laid dowa the reasons we aisiga as the cause of Inerease in erime, and we fui ly believe it is doe more to this than to all others combined, we are aware that those whom onr lightning may strike, whose hearts are steeled against truth and justice, will call ua a peesi mist, but we know better men than we claim to be wbo were oalled pessimists , Hon.
