J. t , an wcond-elasB matter. New Bern, N. C, March 6. 190&. , AMERICAN PATRIOTISM ALl President Roosevelt recently ad dressed to the Secretary of War, who has promulgated the same in a general ' order, a letter reciting the achieve ments of the Japanese admiral, Togo, during the late war between Japan and Russia, and repeating for the benefit of American soldiers and sailors the address issued by that admiral upon the conclusion of the war. The point of the President's letter is the necessity of. keeping the personnel of the army and navy at the highest pitch in time of peace in order to be prepared for war. Aside from the preparedness of war, there is an element in the people, called patriotism, which is a needed assistant to everything in the way of big armies and big navies, for without patriotism theraT5lacking the real in centive to establish a nation's glory and prestige by force of arms through its people, and often the absence of patriotism has been the cause for de struction of peoples, who might if united, won victory. The dispatches in telling of the Pres ident's letter, in quoting Admiral Togo says certain, illusions in the Jap anese Admiral's speech, were omitted as not pertinent. What were these il lusions ? And while not pertinent in their application to the American Army and Navy men, might not these same illusions of Togo's been all power f ul in forming the strength of mind which gave the victory to the Japanese men, by inspiring them to action, and a reckless disregard of life? Recalling the utterances of Admiral Togo, during the war with Russia, , it may be remembered that he ascribed the Japanese victories to the power of the virtues of the Japanese Emperor, w.bo is held as possessing divine at tributes by his people; and further it may be remembered that to the shades of their ancestors was to be . given praise by the Japanese for their vie tjories, , For a nation which has ever been held as a heathen one, Japan has made rapid strides into civilized ways, but is it not rather over doing it, for the American Army and Navy to have Japan held up as a pattern to follow. aa being the highest example, to in spire Americans to new feats of glory? Jt would, seem to the average thinking American that this country had enough already in it own history worthy the inspiration of the youth of today, with out Having to seek ontside nations from which to take our patriotism, or perhaps bolster up that which may ap- peirto be weak. THE DESIRE TO BE ABOVE CRITI ; CISM. An incident, showing the power of public opinion, was the act of the mem bers of the Wall Street firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, who sent in their resignations as directors on all the rail road boards on which they held posi tions. The reason for this is given as a lack of time to attend the many di rectorates, as the firm's business de mandel their closer attention.' But, another, the real motive, is probably to ba found in the recent experience of Mr. Jacob Schiff, the head of the above f nn, before the Armstrong investiga t : committee, where he had to bear ' J i.. '-"j of the uncompromising ques ' i wl.ii h wore hurled at Lmi in the r f the inquiry into E.juit..l,le in- ' r. f!-.i:r was able ti defend i""Uve, in bin c ' xt as : i v 1. that this able financier was made of more auecepUble material, than were the other bankers, and was keenly alive to the dual position he occupied. as passing: upon money transactions as director, and .making the profits in so doing, as a member of the firm through which the transactions were made. In thus removing from directorates, the members of Kuhn, Loeb- and Com pany will remove themselves from fu ture criticism, as to their trustee rela tionship with the railroads, with which they might have financial dealings. It is a charge involving trade morality, and one which is apt to increase among those men in financial circles who are not entirely lost to all trade decency, and to whom public opinion and criticism is of some importance and personal con- cern. The ounce of prevention IS NEEDED. To the question of what makes crimi nals, specially those in high places, the answer might not be be far amiss to say.it is the neglect of some one, which has opened the door of opportunity, and made possible the commission of the theft, embezzlement or defalcation or appropriation of funds. . , It is the trusted bank president or cashier, the man who is given perfect freedom to conduct the business as he may wish, without any scrutiny on the part of directors, it is such a man that is found short in his accounts so often when inquiry is made. : ...... There are men in trusted positions who feel aggrieved if asked for an ac counting.' Public officials often think it is questioning their personaUntegrity, if there is a demand to see their books-. But why should the person with millions of dollars held in trust for other?, be less accountable, be given freedom from all accounting, than the messenger Ixy who is sent out to collect a few dollars? Each has an obligation to prove trust worthy, personally, only the amount of the trust is the difference, and the more urgent need is for the true accounting on the part of the one who has the greater sum given to his care, and there can be no implied distrust of the person, if a strict accounting is de manded, nnd every person so trusted should naturally have the desire to ren der as of ten as can be conveniently done, a full showing of every dollar in his keeping. The revelations of the financial trans actions in the great life insurance com panies proves the neglect of those who should have looked into the conduct of those in charge of the many millions of dollars belonging to the policy holders. It was too much of "do as you please and we will not complain", and what has come from such letting alone is as follows, to those who were in positions of trust: ' .-' i '. ". John A.

A battle flag made by the hands' of North Carolma women carried in fierce Bervice by the hands of North Carolina men taken as the fruit of war at the fall of Fort Monroe April 26th, 1862, by the army in blue was this morning brought back to North Carolina by special escort headed by Judge "W. W. Douglass, Chief Justice of the Supreme court of Rhode Island. Others in the party were A. H. Larkin, New York, Messrs Studley. Shepley, and Watson, from the north eountry, M. J. Perry and F. S. Gannon of the A. & N. C. Ry, W, W. King, M. W. McClure, of Norfolk, and J. F. Case, of New York City. A sort of spirit of evenness characterized the movement of the flag It being brought down both by northerners and southerners over the S A. L. Road but in a southern railway car,that used for private purposes by " President Spencer. The party remained in the car until ten o'clock this morning when they were met by a reception commit tee made up of the . following named gentlemen: Lieutenant Governor Wir.- ston, Major Jas," I. Johnson, J. G. Brown and R. M. Phillips, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Indus try. Carriages were in waiting and the entire body were driven about over city, carried to the Soldiers Home and the Federal cemetery, the . -r tate mu seum, and many other points of inter est about the Carolina capital. . After this outing and a short resting spell the party proceeded to the Senate Chamber where the ' impressive cere monies attendant upon the return of the flag was witnessed . by throngs of people. . The chamber was beautifully decorated with flags of four kindp, most conspicious in the arrangement was the battle flag of the Confederacy which rested between two large United States flags and just over the flag of North Carolina. About the columns in graceful arrangement were displayed the small bunting emblems of the State of Rhode Island. These together with a rich conformity of red, white 6nd blue surmounted by golden eaglos produced -the handsomest effect' yet accomplished in any Raleigh decora-' tions. General Julian S. , Carr, com mander oif the State Veterans Associa tion presided over the exercises, Lieu tenant Governor Franceis D. Winston made an address of welcome, and the chief justice of Rhode Island presented the old Southern banner that bears within its folds an unspeakable history. Speeches of acceptance were made by chief justice Clark" of the Supreme court of North Carolina, State Auditor B. F. Dixon, Lieutenant John W. Sun ders of Beaufort the ranking surviving officers of that company which first bore the flag to the front. Tne flat is of .the regular Confedera cy pattern with the white, blue and red tri-color and silver star?.

These ladies will be represented by descendants, Mrs. C. A Clawson, Jr., Mrs; W. S; Robinson, ,who are daughters cf Mrs. Poole , and Nannie and Eliza Howland, daughters of Mrs. Susan Howland. " Comnauv E of the Fifth Rhode' Isl and troops succeeded in taking the flag in that time of warfare from Company H Tenth Carolina -infederate troops, It was given to' Capt Arthur Dexter of Providence, R. I., who was the or ganizer of that battalion of which com pany E was a part At the Captain's death his widow bestowed the flag upon the Rhode Island Veterans Association with the agreement that it should be returned to those left of Ihe Confeder ate company from which it was -cap tured. ' " .. ;' After these formal exercises the vi iters, the Justices of the Supreme Court and tne officials invited to partici pate were dined at the .Yarborough House. It is due to the "energy and careful conduct of Fred L. Merrit, Industrial Agent of the Atlantic & North Carolina and Norfolk & Southern railroads, that the successful culmina tion of this ceremony was thueJarought about. Quite a dolegation from Beau fort witnessed the ceremony having come over in a special N. & S. train. ) Alaxys Keep Chamberlain' Cough Remedy In Hit House.
