PAGE FOUR THE REPUBLICAN-JOURNAL, JUNE 5, 1916. THE REPUBUCAN-JOURNAL A morning newspaper, issued daily, except Sunday, at Ogdensburg, N. Y. The St. Lawrence Republican established in 1830. , The Daily Journal estab- lished in 1855.

Subscribers to THE JOURNAL and THE ST. LAW- RENCE REPUBLICAN receive this morning the first issue of THE REPUBLICAN-JOURNAL. This newspaper will be published every morning except Sunday and will carry com- plete news not only of Ogdensburg but of all St. Lawrence county, and a considerable amount from adjacent counties! and Canada. In addition, the telegraphic reports of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, the greatest of all news-gathering agencies, with its wires and cables tapping every neek and corner of the civilized world, will be received and dispensed to the readers of THE REPUBLICAN-JOURNAL, its youngest member. The amalgamation of our two editions, daily and weekly, creates a circulation list larger by thousands than that of any other newspaper published between Watertown and Lake Champlain. Not only is this circulation numerically superior but its quality is such as to make it invaluable to advertisers. The Republican-Journal's readers—and there are twenty to twenty-five thousand of them—are representative of the most intelligent and most prosperous type of citizen among whom well advertised merchandise of a quality worth advertising will find a responsive market. Doubtless there are many who wonder why we have made the change. The answer is simple: For business reasons. Months ago—even years ago—THE JOURNAL reached the limit of its circulation possibilities in the evening field. The change to the morning has been considered for nearly three years and seriously so for more than a year. Ogdensburg of- fers but a closely limited field for an evening paper, whereas the possibilities of circulation in the morning are almost limit- less. The reverse is true in Watertown, whence trains leave in all directions immediately following the afternoon press hour. Finally, we are making the change because we have faith in the future of St. Lawrence county and in her people. We believe that the village and rural population of the country are ready to take a local daily newspaper provided it is a good one and they can get it the day it is published. It is our purpose to make The Republican-Journal a worth-while newspaper and we have the utmost confidence that our efforts will be met with substantial appreciation. Some Disputed Points. Later details of the Skagerak battle may shed light upon the part, if any, that the Britsh battleships played in it. That they should not have been engaged seems incredible. If the British fleet was \considerably supers ir,\ what are we to conclude but that either by more skilful tactics, more ac- curate gunnery, more destructive use of submarine torpedoes, or of all com- bined, the Germans administered a terrible and decisive defeat to the British fleet.—New York Sun. Asleep. The truth is that throughout this whole war the British, both on land and on sea, have been inexplicably sleepy. When Germany is hammer- ing the Allies all over Europe with a fury never more intense in 22 months than it is now it is time for the Brit- ish to wake up if they are ever going to wake up.—New York Press. THE BATTLE AND EARLY PEACE. Though the full tale has yet to be told, we know from what news dispatches have been allowed to pass the hands of the censors that a tremendous naval conflict-—the greatest sea fight of all times—took place on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday last in the Baltic Sea, off the east coast of Den- mark. Already we know that tremendous losses have been sustain- ed by both the British and German fleets, the British, accord- ing to all reliable accounts, being the heavier sufferers, while thousands of men have been engulfed as ship after ship was sent to the bottom by gunfire or torpedo. And the battle has caused a thrill of astonishment to pass through the American people. A dash by the German fleet, or a part of it, had been looked for as a possibility for some time, in fact had been frequently predicted by military and naval experts in this and other countries, but' that the resultant battle would take place in the Baltic Sea, within a few hours' steam of the German coast itself, was utterly unexpected, • The general opinion had been that the Teuton ships would make a sudden dash for the North Sea, and there maneuver in such a manner as to take a substantial portion of the British fleet at a numerical disadvantage and annihilate it, thus put- ting the final trial of strength between the two full navies, which many experts hold is bound to take place before a peace treaty can be signed, on a more equitable basis. The battle, therefore, has caused a great deal of comment; and discussion here in America, the whys and wherefores of the clash being eagerly sought. Why a British fleet was cruising in the Baltic we do not know. What we do know is that with uncanny precision the Germans ships swooped down on the outnum- bered Englishmen, sunk about fifteen ships, sustained lesser damage in return, and returned to port on the appearance of the main British fleet. A question which has been much discussed since the news of the battle was made known is whether the conflict has brought peace any nearer. The offensive at Verdun was gen-? erally understood in this country to signify that the German general staff was making a mighty effort to break through the main French defensive line, with the idea that in the event of a successful issue to the assault the French armies would be rolled away by the momentum of the offensive, Paris prob- ably occupied by the German legions, and terms of peace ar- ranged which would be distinctly advantageous to the Central powers. The offensive at Verdun, now past its hundredth day, is not over, the two armies being still locked in the deadliest of grapples, and it is quite possible that the German commanders realized that the moment was opportune for a bold stroke on water, which, if successful, would enormously hearten the men before Verdun, and correspondingly depress and demoralize the French defenders. This solution is probably much more likely to be the case than the one offered in many quarters— that internal conditions in Germany and Austria are such that victory must be obtained quickly in a series of land and water offensives if it is to be obtained at all. Whichever may be the case, however, the Baltic Sea battle has undoubtedly awakened a strong hope that the finali and supreme efforts are being, or are about to be, made on either side, with a view to terminating the war before another winter shall have set in. The hope will find a ready echo in every loyal American heart. Wood as a Compromise. The suggestion that General Wood might be a compromise candidate brings to mind his work in the Phili- ppines and Cuba. In CuTDa General Wood displayed extraordinary abili- ties in managing diverse elements in such a manner as to get the affection and confidence of the people. He proved to be a great administrator and diplomat. The splendid railroad laws of Cuba were largely his design- ing. Lord Cromer, famous for his work in India and Egypt, has said that as an administrator General Wood has few equals in modern times. In any other country he would be placed in charge of our Mexican situation. Among his qualifications is a singular ability in winning the confidence of our Latin neighbors. He wins such confidence because he is just, able and considerate.—New York Mail. A Qerman Victory at Sea. With al due alowance for the dis- crepancies in the two accounts of the battle off the coast of Jutland, it is clear that the Germans are justified in claiming the most important naval victory of the war. Even if we ac- cept the British Admiralty's report as final, there is no denying that the British flet was worsted. This event will probably cause more dismay in England than anyof the disasters that have befallen British arms since the war began. A great deal remains to be explained. It is> manifest that the British fleet was not taken by surprise. It was out in force at the uttermost end of the North Sea and must- nave been pre- pared to meet an equally powerful force. According to the German ac-. count, the British force was \consid- erably superior.\ On this point- the British report is silent; it says merely that the enemy avoided a long en- gagement with the main force and re- tired hastily to his base. In that case his tactics were evidently sound, for the result was a clean victory, and a victory of no insignificant magni- tude.—New York Tribune. Germany's Sea Victory. Germany has won the greatest sea fight in modern history. Although the victory is in no sense decisive, its moral effect on the German people will be immeasurable, for it goes to balance the failure of the Germany army in the terribly costly drive on Verdun. In spite of conflcting reports from Berlin and London and a common suppression of the essential details of the battle, it is plain that the British fleet was outmaneuvered, outshot and outfought by its adversary.—NewYork World. The North Sea Battle. In the first great collision between the naval forces of Germany and Eng- land the British have suffered a de- feat for which responsibility remains to be allocated to strategy, tactics, fighting efficiency, and luck. The cir- cumstances are beclouded. The Ger- mans refer to the enemy force as \the main part of the English fighting fleet,\ but on the other hand it ap- pears almost conclusively tihat the German force was greatly superior, especially i n the larger units. Copen- hagen reports that the German force included five dreadnoughts. But however unfavorable to the British the conditions were, the re- sults cannot fail to be humiliating to English naval pride and in a corre- sponding degree heartening to the Germans.—New York Times. ( MORNING TONIC. ) In a neat English village lived a tobacconist named Farr. Now, this to- bacconist had a rival. Both wanted the trade of the town. Farr, being a wit, devised a sign and hung it out- side his shop: .\Best tobacco by Farr.\ The townsfolk, realizing a pun, flocked to his shop and his trade increased at the expense of his rival's business. Now, his rival brooded and meditated, consulted many books of ancient lore, a Roget's Thesaurus and a rhyming distionary. One day his face was seen to wreathe itself in smiles. Gossip • hovered expectant about his shop. The anticipations of the townsfolk were not disappoint- ed. For that very day he hung out a sign which read: \Far better tobacco than the best by Farr.\—Rochester Times. Jones was a kind-hearted butcher. One day he was going home with a block of ice in his cart, but being call- ed to dinner he left it in his shop. On coming into the shop after din- ner he was surprised to see a small boy sitting on the ice. \Get off! You will ne frozen, roared Jones. The boy did not get off, so Jones shouted at him a second time. . \Have you ever been a boy!\ was the pitiful answer. \Why yes,\ said Jones. \Did you have a father?\ \Yes returned Jones. \Did your father have a strap?\ ask- ed the ^oy. Then the light of understanding came.to Jones, so he replied, softly: \Stay there, my lad, stay there.\ There was recently brought before a police magistrate in the south an old darky who had fallen foul of a bulldog while in the act of entering the hen- house of the dog's owner. \Didn't I give you ten days last month for this same offense?\ asked the magistrate. \It was the same hen-house you were trying to get into. \What have you got to say for your- self?\ The darky seemed perplexed. \Yo' honah,\ he said, \yo' sent me to the chain-gang fo' tryin' to steal some chickens, didn't you'?\ \Yes; that was the charge.\ \An' don't de law say yo' can't be charged twice with de same offense?\ \That no man shall be twice placed in jeopardy for the identical act, yes.\ \Den yo' honah, youse gotta let me go, suh, I was after de same chickens, suh.\—Louisville Times. , \There oughU toi be only one head to any family,\ shouted an orator, \That's true,\ replied a married look- ing man in the audience. \You agree with me?\ shouted the speaker. \I do,\ replied the married-looking man. \I've just paid for hats for nine daugh- ters.\—St. Louis Dispatch. • A small boy astride of a'donkey was taking some supplies to an army camp in Texas not long ago, and got there just as a detachment of soldiers, pre- ceded by a band, was marching past. The lad dismounted and held the bridle of the donkey tightly in his hand. \Why are you holding on to yor broth- er so hard?\ asked a group of soldiers who were standing near and wanted to tease the country boy. \I'm afraid he might enlist,\ said the lad, without batting an eyelash.—New York Globe. The late Gilman iHarston of New Hampshire was arguing a complicated case, and looked up authorities back to Julius Caesar. At the end of an hour and a half, in the most intricate part of his plea, he was pained to see what looked like inattention. It was as he had feared. The judge was un- able to appreciate the Bice points of his arguments. \Your Honor,\ he said, \I beg your pardon; but do you follow me?\ \I have so far,\ answered the judge, shifting wearily about in his chair, \but I'll say frankly that if I thought I could find my way back, I'd quit right here.\—Christian Register. s^if^sss^^s^ssssssbFSifi^ffiifiss^ I NEW PRICES ON COAL | Special WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7TH Sale Hi m BEGINNING PROMPTLY AT 2 P.

Principles and Candidates What can the convention at Chicago do but accept as its platform the \principles\ of the ex-President who split the party in 1912 and elected a Democratic President, and take him- self as the only candidate who could be trusted to carry them out? Can there be anybody alse who would be \primarily\ an adequate embodiment of those principles as a man of deeds? The only possible alternaive must be another split in the party, unless, in- deed, Roosevelt was permitted to say who the other man is, for noDody else would be competent to name him. If this is not an attempt to \boss\ the party, under a threat to beat it again if it does not submit to dictation, it would be difficult to find a definition for it . It may result, like the coup of 1912, in electing Wilson again.—New York Journal of Commerce. ——. • Optimistic Thought. Many judgments that fall upon man are the result of his own sins.

In the American Magazine is the story of a successful business man who attributes his success largely to his faculty for making quick decisions. \Once decided, you ought not to waste time. If a man decides rightly then he has a running start on rivals who hesitate. If he decides wrongly then he has discovered his blunder, backed up and is ready to start on even terms with the hesitating rival, for a man of decision can decide he is wrong as quickly as he can decide he is right. Also, in a great number of cases, the man who decides quickly may fail to decide the best way and still carry it through to success and even convince others he was right all the time. This has happened to me many times in cases where there were a number of ways in which a thing might be done. \While we blunder inevitably I be- lieve our batting average is higher than that of timid ones, and the re- wards much greater. I do not think I Tiave erred in 15 per cent of my de- cisions in business, and not in 5 per cent seriously. \The great advantage of quick de- cision lies in the larger rewards that come to those who are bold, for it is bold to decide vital matters quickly. The timid and the hesitating get small profits.\ Woo! Production and Manufacture.
