Italy’s war of cenquest does not wromise to be inglorious, for after showing her ability to command the situation, she now proceeds to negoti- te for terms of peace upon a cash basis. Italy has freed the slaves, and now yhe proposes to pay an indemnity of Y12,000,008 to prevent further blood- _Yhed and to secure for herself per- wianent rule in Tripeli. It is estimated that the naval expe- lition and the losses to the navy have tost Italy more than $12,000,000 al- teady; and since at least three naval veégsels have been lost, this does not teem to be an exaggerated calcula- tion. The sultan needs these millions mere Yhan he needs the ‘glory which may tome to him through conflict; and perhaps he needs the example of good yovernment at Tripoli full as much as e needs the money. It is to be hoped Italy's negotiations may prove acceptable to the sultan and that Ttaly will command the waters in that part of the globe. Week exnding October 7 FIXING AN OPINION. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, it is said, Is going to fight the re-election of Taft. Fe doeen’t like the president's views on the trust question. We don't like the views, either, but we see now that there is no hope of the president changing them. For no candidate for office would ever think of sacrificing the highly valuable asset of J. Pier- pont Morgan's opposition.—The Toledo Blade. There is no doubt that the leading démocrats of the country are banking for their chances of political success upon the support of the “private in- terests” for the same old considera- tion. Their price is too high and al- ways has been too high. The great combinations assume today that they have more power than, the gevernment. If by their opposition they can control the government the people zre in their hands instead of fixing the policies of the republic. The movement of &oncentrated wealth against Taft should prompt the people to flock to his standard. President Taft has no issue with any trust that s doing a legitimate—a legal business —and the public applaud him for his heroic stand and popular slogan of “No compromise.” Taft is for right, and the combinations of trusts against him should make him more and more the ideal of the people. THEY'LL HAVE TO HUSTLE. The Panama canal exposition cities who have planned to celebrate the opening of this great international waterway in 1915 will have to ad- vance their plans, since the country has President Taft's word for it that the Panama canal may be opened on the first of July, 1913, or a vear and e haif sooner than was expected. The country hasn't Taft's pesitive affirmation that the opéning will be then, but this is what he said to the reoplé of Seattle: “I don’t want you to have heart dis- ease if you learn that the first stemmer goes through on July first, 18 The Providence Journal sa “It was thought at one time that the work on the locks and dam at Gatun would delay the opening of the canal, but it now looks as if they would be in readiness’as soon as the excavation is completed at Culebra.” This certainly speaks well for the engineering ability and despatch of the Arnericans engaged in the work, Most Americans appear to be una- ware that the reason presidential re- sults ‘are now known before midnight on the day of election, is because the counting il the big cities is done by machines, James J. Hill drove a gold spike for the new railroad he is just building; but he did not leave it for the section hands to pull and make a divvy of. Apples bought of the farmer for 75 cents a bushel and sold to consumers for $7.50 from fruit stands are too dear for farmers to buy. The sentiment for a consolidated city expressed in town meeting was the right spirit. Dual government is as often a fraud as a farce. Even the middleman isn't defence- less. An §-cenf can of beets delivered oy horse and carriage doesn't look like a get-rich-quick scheme. 1f General Sherman were here to witness the merry war at Tripoli, he consceutive miles of good roads in this country, or two miles in this city that has not more than one rut in it two inches deep. From a business standpoint, Ger- many made the deepest impression upon the mind of the “wizard of Menlo park,” and of Germany he says: “The whole empire is being electri- fied.” He said one of his former “Newark boys” has now in Germany charge of 60,600 men. “Germany has a million facteries and is building more. hen a German sells $100 worth of goods they weigh about thirty pounds. When a Frenchman sells $100 worth they weigh 400 pounds. When an Englishman sells $100 worth they weigh half a ton.” : ‘The one point at which America leads European countries is in the production of labor-saving wmachinery and of this, he says, the German fac- tories are fully supplied. ALL COUNTED. Uncle Sam is all out of territories on this continent; but in_ their places he has 48 states of varying sizes, some of them econtaining as many counties as the six New England states. Those who are superstitious must {admit that the 13 original states au- gured well for the republic: and these 48 states comprise 3,000,000 square miles, with almost all warieties of eli- mate, scenery and industry, the home of 90,000,000 Americans—the greatest territory ané population ever welded together in one nation of free people. The extent of the two new states in tself is enough to stir the imagina- ion, for this last and comparatitvely trivial addition to the body of feder- alized commonwealths is as great as the extent of the 13 parent states. If more states are created they must must be from the big states because of conflicting interests. It was not so long ago California was debating a di- vision. Our separated territories are Alaska, the Philippines, the Hawalian islands. Guam, Porto Rico, and the canal strip on the isthmus of Darien. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The waves of the ocean cannot be swept back with a broom. Having viewed the primaries, no one appears to doubt Massachusetts will go Tepublican next month. The railroad earnings are only showing a gain of 1.1 per cemt. over what they were last year. There are few good words being spoken for the present blanket ballot. It is a disgrace to free government. If wedding anniversaries were more generally celebrated, perhaps the cases in the divorce courts would be fewer. The man who sings “The Star Span- gled Banner” best is not the one who rushes first te get his gun to defend it. Those who yearn for the good old ballot should look once mere at Maine —over a month, and results not known. Portland, M is lessening fire risks by a campaign for the freedom of cel- lars and yards of all combustible ma- terials. Meriden has voted $6,000 for voting machines, and it is not only mone well spent, but evidence of a progres sive spirit. Bible Questien Box will_be Your Eible question: swered in these e¢olumns or by mail if_sent fo our Bible Question Box Editor. Q.—Since Jesus is to reign until all enemies are put under His feet, and the last enemy to be destroyed is death (I Corinthians xv, 25, 26) would it not prove that Satan and his hosts would be destroyed before death is destroyed, and that both would be destroyed dur- ing the reign of Jesus? Answer.—The Apostle’s argument is so clear and incing in this fif- teenth chapter of st Corinthians relative to the reign of our Lord Jesus and the object or purpose to be ac- complished by that reign. that there is but one answer to the question and that ene in tife affirmative. It is ap- parent to all thinking minds that| Christ’s reign has not vet begun, for| the Scriptures declare that during the réign of the Lord. the great adversary of the race. Satan, will be bound, and that in the close of that reign he will loosed for a little season. A single glance over the conditions e ting in the world will serve to con- nce anyone that Satan is still a very active personality. However, cond tions in the next Age, the period of Christ’s reign, will ~xperience a radical change as gradual! v the evil, selfish| elements are eliminated. The last of | the evil things that ha so long af- flicted the race, death, “and him that had the poweér of death” shall be de- jsiroyed (Hebrews ii, 14; Revelation xxi, 4). Fitzgeraldism and Its Results.

Miss O'Reilly has abundantly proved her devotion to the interests of the unfortunate in the cace of life, and her inability to work with the mayor of Boston is to his discredit and not to her Tt is worth noting that Miss O'Relily and Dr. Charles P.

UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH THE LITTLE FOLKS. The voung folks are getting so in- terested in book-winning that thes have enough letters and stories ahead to again fill the departmental columns, It will do no harm to be a little be- fore-handed; but it reguires a little patience for the writers to wait. Let me caution the story writers, against writing too many pages. The well-told little story is what Uncle Jed prgfers. The Little Folks. should mind the rules and write only on ome side of the paper. and sign their names at the bottom of the story with age and place.of residence. We have an un- signed story now, entitled “Angea’s Days of School,” which we should have used this week, but for this omis- sion. Will the writer please send in her name and address. Uncle Jed thanks the little writers for their. interest in having a name, Next week we will print a list of the names proposed, and then the writers can write me which oune they prefer: Some very pretty names have been { suggested.

An Incident in Bessie’s Vacation. ‘When Bessie was ten vears old, she ‘Write plainly on one side of the Short and peinted articles will went to visit; her grandmother, who lived in the couniry. & There were no little ‘girls to play | with and Bessie's only playmate was a little dog named Neb. He was black | and tan in color, and he knew so much that you would almost think that he had sense. the town. It had a great many strange animzls with it, among them a giraffe. | Bessie was standing on the sidewalk, with Neb at her side, watching the parade go by. Everyone was looking at the giraffe and smiling at h# long neck. When Neb saw him he began te bark loudly. It attracted the gi- iraffe’s attention and he put his head down to the sidewalk and touched Neb with his nese. It frightened the poor dog so, that he ran into the house, and he could not be induced to come out all day. He set looking out the window and growling every time he thought of his scare. : Bessie went to the circus and liked it very mueh. She had a fine time all vacation, and | when she came home from the farm her mether hardly recogmnized in the browned and sunburnt little girl, the pale-faced child who had left her on #he last day of June.—Mildred Smith, age 12, Willimantic. How the Horse Knew a Poor Man. I will teli you a tale of a horse, whose name was Old Jack. His mas- ter was such a good man that Jack had grown to be good like him. Jack saw his master would not go by a poor man, but would stop and say a kind word, or give the poor man a few pence. S¢ when Jack saw a poor man, Jack must have thought: “Ah, here comes a poor man. My master shall not have to pull my rein. I will stop, and then he can say a kind word at his ease.” And so Jack would stand still, and hey would not moVve until his master sald: “Go on, Jack:. go on.” Then Jack would turn his heazd to look at the peor man, as much as to | say: . | “Good-bye to vou—geod-bye then he would go on. @ And, if Jack came to a part of the | road where two roads met, Jack would |stop; and e would look down this iread, and look down that; and, if he saw a poor man in one€ of the roads, he would go down that road. And when he came up to the poor ihan, Jack would stop quite still and turn his head and dook at his master, as much as to say: “f know you like to be good and kind to the poor. See, I have found a poor man for you. Now, if you like, you can say a kind word to this poor ] man.” i You may be sure the kind word was said.—ILena Santo, Baltic, Conn. How Coal Was Discovered. Some people think pigs do nothing for the world, only to give their flesh. They think they are great hogs and want everything themselves, But in the days of the Britons they did not think so. The Britons were very super- stiticus and believed everything the Druids or priests told them. There is # legend that was told by the Druids in Latin, and was later transiated into English. It is true about it, but it has been told by so many different descendants of the En- glish that a great deal has been added on. The legend is as follows: The Swedish people had great droves of pigs feeding in the valleys of the highlands. One day one of the flock wandered away from the rest, and fell into a pit. It was quite deep, so it could not get out. It squealed and squealed: but’ not one of the herdsmen heard him. ‘When they gathered their drove together at night they found one was missing. They called and calied. but he did not come. | The next morning one of the herds- men heard something squealing, so taking his lantern he went to where he heard the sound. As he could not see anything, he ran to the hut, and got a bucket and put some corn in it. He lowered it inte the pit. In about ten minutes he drew it up, and was surprised to find that the corn was all gone. but in place of it was some black, criumbled dirt, at least it looked like it. The man was astonished, and ran to tell the other herdsmen about it. Soon they were all at the pit, eag- er to'get some of this black dirt, as they cailed it, for it would burn as fuel, Bucket after bucket went down un- til all were satisfied for that day, and went home with the pig. This pig was afterwards called “The Explorer of the Chester Whites.” I This black, dirt was found out in later vears to be coal, and many peq- ple mined it.—Ruth B. McCollum, 2ge 13 Mansfield Depot, Conn. An Accident. The new horse was a beauty, with a glossy coat and a shiming black mane. His ears were always moving to catch every slight seund. He was plainly nervous. But Frank and Helen had been used to horses all their lives and had no fears. Th took their places in the old- fashioned carryall and started briskly down the road through the woods. As they rounded the cormer. a great dog that had been lying in the road gave a low growl and flew savagely at the horse’'s throat. The horse reared and proke a shaft. The children were not Lurt, but it was a narrow escape. | How Sebastian Came to be a Frog A Little Fairy Tale There was once a little light green grasshopper who never kept still for more than five minutes at a time, and his mother said to him: “Sebastian”-—his name was Sebastian really do believe that if I didn't pin the cover down with safety pins when I put you to bed you'd be jump- ing all over the world in your sleep.” Now Sebastian did not say anything when his mother spoke to him. He just waved his feelers and thought af- ter this fashion: - ~No wonder I have umcomfortable and crowded dreams. Wrapped up in that way! No more safety pins for L e That night, after his mother had in ped, he crawled out of the covers and single one of those safety pins! Then that naughty grasshopper jumped back into bed again and put his head on the pillow, and in two minutes was fast asleep. When he had been asleep three minute: hat made it five minutes from the time he jumped into bed—the | time came for him teo jump again. So he jumped a great big jump that jump- ed him 'way out of bed, out of the win- dow and on to the middle of the lawn, and it never woke him up at alll fle jumped und he jumped il he jumped right away beyond the Tawn out into the thick foresi.

One-was Walter and the other was Dave. A dog was with them which belonged to Walter. They threw a stick in the ‘water for the dog several times. Trixey was all tired out. Walter said “Dor’t make him gg in again.” Dave threw in another stick and Trixey went after it. - On his way Walter called him and Trixey turned back. Dave said. “He shan't come back.” Trixey was faithful to his master. Dave threw a stone at Trixey, but ‘his aim_ was only too sure. He hit Trixey in the head, and the waves carried” him out to sea.—Elsie La Bounty, age 11, Montville. Easy Money. Once there was a woodchopper who lived in a big wood. He had a wife and seven children; each one a little older than the other. One day he took the oldest boy ‘in- to the woods to teach him how to Gut trees and make them so as to get logs and slabs and wood and chips, After the boy had Jearned all about that, he went to the city, where they burn wood. By and by he came home with one hundred dollars., His mother asked him where he got it, angd he said: “I got that just standing around a big building all night. It is not wo har@ as cutting wood!” So his mother said: “Go back, and take all the other children with yvou"—and that's all.— Jim Burr, Baltic. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. Happy Hearts Club.
