Leaders will be developed military and in civil life altke; and weap- ons and tactics change from generation (o generation, as methods of achieving good gov- ernment caange In civic affairs; but the fundamental qualities which make for good citizenehip do not change any more than the fundamental qualities which make good sol- diers. In the long run in the Civil War the thing tkat counted for more than aught else was the fact that the average American had the fighting edge; had within him the spipit which spurred him on through toil and dan- ger, fatigue and hardship, to the goal of the lendid ultimate triumph. So In achieving government the fundamental factor must an (3 be the cnaracter of the average citizen; that average ritizen's power of hatred for what is mean and and unlovely; his fearless scorn of cowardice and his determination to war unyleldingly against the dark and sordid forces of evil We need the same type of character now that was needed by the men who with Wash- ington first inaugurated the system of free popular government, the system of combined liberty ana order here on this continent: that was needed by the men' who under Lincoln pervetuated the government which had thus n insugurated in the days of Washington. The qualities essential to good citizenship and to_zood public service now are in all their essentials exactly when the first Cos the establishment of the Union; days, reventy years later, when the Con- gresses met which had to provide for its eal- vation. There are many qualities which we need alike n private citizen and in public man, but three above all—three for the lack of which no briliiancy and no genins can a WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Profe Wiley, chief of the Bureau ofghemis of the Department of Agriculture, who has been abroad on a two months’ tion, has returned and resume | his experiments with “doctored “preserved” foods. It is the intention of Wiley to ascertain accurately the effect | on men of good health using food treated with chemicals. Wiley says that one of the leading wine | experts of Europe, whom he consulted while in London, remarked that ‘“there | are no chateau or vineyard wines sh¥pped to the United States. The American peo- ple drink nothing but ‘labels. ** Wiley thought this declaration too sweeping. He believes that there are some genuine chateau and vineyard wines | tmported into the United States, but he belleves that they usuaily are special im- portations, often made for individuals, and that the general buyer seldom gets | good wines. The label looks all right and the retailer may make customers balieve that-the wine is genuinc, but in 1nost cases it is not. | Under the new food exclusion law the | Secretary. of the Treasury is authorized, | on certification from the Secretary of Ag- riculture, to exclude from the United States food products or beverages that are adulterated so as to be injurious to health; that are falsely labeled, or the sale of which is prohibited or restricted greatest difficulty in the enforcement of this law lies in its application to falsely labeled wines and liquors. Chemical analysis Is utterly powerless to detect the difference that exists between high-grade claret 'of the most celebrated vintage and the common vintage, yet a difference ex- ists and is what makes one wine many times more valuable in the market than others. It is equally impossible to detect blended whisky by ordinary chemical analysis. ‘Wiley is of the opinion that most of the Scotch whiskies imported into the United States are blended.

The Emperor’'s army order caused an immense sensation in Austria and in Hungary. The pathetic assurance that he will never glve up his rights and prerogatives as chief co der sounds like a war proclamation nst the known Hunga- rian national army demands. The impres- slon caused by the imperial order is al- most indescribable, Hitherto the Em- peror has been regarded as the most si- lent monarch in Europe. Never before, even in the gravest con- OFFICER KILLS HIMSELF AT FORT LEAVENWORTH Lieutenant Mitchell, Who Was Mar- ried Three Weeks Ago, Is Found Dead in His Home. LEAVENWORTH, Kans., Sept. 17.— Lieutenant Mitchell, Second Infantry, a student officer in the general service and staff college, committed suicide at Fort Leavenworth this afternoon. Lieutenant Mitchell's wife was in Kansas City spend- Ing the day and did not return home until about 7 o'clock in the evening, when she found him dead. Lieutenant Mitchell was married three weeks ago to Miss Grace Smith of Guthrie, O. T. His former post was Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. He came here two weeks ago to attend the war college. He left no note explaini=g his deed. Mitchell enlisted in the army as a private in the Twentieth Infantry in 1899. He won his straps by distinguished service in the Philippines.

I1T.—Fiercs fights between Jews and Christians, in which four Christians and two Jews were killed and many persons were seriously injured, are reported from Gomela, in the government of Moghileff. The disturb- ances occurred on September 11 and start- ed from a dispute between a peasant and a Jewish dealer. The police intervened, and according to the version published here the Jews threw stomes and fired on the police, several of whom were injured. The disturbances wers renewed three days later, some Jewish boojhs being de- molished. The Jews attempted to prevent the destruction of the booths, and twen- ty persons were injured on both sides. Troops then arrived on the scene and were received with shots from the Jews. The military returned the fire and witl- mately restored order.
