The war among the Balkan states has progressed far enough to show the folly of the struggle and the frizhtful | waste of buman life and resources. The humbling of Bulgaria is one of the Important results of the greed 4 overbearance which that coun- y has manifested throughout the en- avor to bring the dispute over the settling of the spoils to a peaceful onclusion. Greece and Servia with the aid of Montenegro and the attitude of Rowmania have administered a Ie son in a short time, but it was a war that should necessarily be short their resources of men and money v limited. They had previously suffered great losses and the character of the fight among themseives has been hard and furious. The desire for of the spoils, w a proper disposition ich re: »d from the combined effort to drive rkey out of Europe, has been manifested by all but Bulgaria. The appeal of that coun- try to have the powers use their in- fluence for peace now will likely be satisfactory to the others, though their position and their dem. have been manifestly strengthened by their suc- cess in the war which Bulgaria sought and inaugurated. It has been a cost- ly lesson upon top of the elation over the success in the overpowering of Turkey, but it was a ation which | Bulgaria should have shown diplo- macy enough to avoid. It is high time that the war should be ended and the spoils properly divided. Bulgariz is getting the setback which comes from selfishness and overconfidence. Greece and Servia are a much different class of fighters than Turkey was found to be and the nman- ner in which they are bringing Bul- | garia to her knees proves the value | they wefe in the conquest of European Turkey.

Spring and summer every year de- velop problems because of insufficient help which are extremely aggrivating to the farmers of all districts wocther they are large or small. It was well conceived that this difficulty might be overcome through the immigrant by distributing the many thousand for- eigners among the farmine districts of the country, and this has been of no liitle help, but not so great as was ‘expected. The inducements and the transportations are easily accomplish- ed but the conditions are so different from what they are used t» and their handicap through the lack of knowl- edge of the language soon causes them to reassemble in large centers w the companionship of others of their nationality can be had. This conucerns ve since those from the northern of the continent form the popr n of a large section of farming territory in the northern states of this country. ‘While farm life is far botter for the immigrant from southern It ha them they cannot be made to under- stand it and they fail to contribute the relief to the farm labor market which is needed.

It takes pluck to face the seri- ous exigencies of life and heroism to do and to dare. I often catch my heart saying, “God bless the heroes who face sickness and death and ever smile.” i | Some states of expectancy disap»! point, and others afflict us.

We all know the statement that marriage makes two souls one in the generally accepted sense is an arrant humbug. There are only two points in life at which we seem to be one— where love is true and where service through love Is sincere. We dimer in our tastes, ideas and beliefs, and have a perfect right to. These are all points for conflict if we do not know how to abide in peace. 1t is not pos- sible for us to think alike, or believe alike, simply because we are mated.

As quoth a statement from old, “In- dependence now and Independence for- ever.” The quiet evening of July 3rd re- minded me by contrast of the corre- sponding evening of 1859. Those were strenuous times as many of our cit zens can well remember. Party strife was running high, and each vied with the other in voicing its sentiments in the most convincing way, which on the evening before the fourth meant much noise and fireworks, and the one that demonstra- tion was sure to be thought the most popular. On the night in question two young ladies were compelied to go from the eastern side of the city to a store in Main street, and their experience was thrilling to say the least. For some reason Main street from the Waure- gan westward was’ the center of dis- play and confusion. For that distance they were obliged to force their way through a crowd which was regardless of all else than their own.endeavor to out do the others in noisy celebra- tion of the coming day. not sufficient in those times for triotism to show itself, and the night before was devoted to the introduc- tion of the Fourth, and the night fol- lowing was given up to the finish of the day. Not only was the careless crowd to be encountered, but these two girls had to meet a continuous blaze of red fire on the level of street and also a fiery shower of Rom- an candles and rockets from overhe: Fortunately neither of them was ver: timid, and necessity forced them to be usual, so through much discomfort and ex than disturbed somewhat torn clothing Their message was delivered safe- Iy, and the return trip was to be made under even greater discomfort, for the | noise and excitment had increased as | the evening had advanced.

Do you suppose they will !come to the conclusion that celebrat- |ing the Fourth is a childish thing to {be laid aside as manhood is reached? More flags are flung to the breeze than {in former times, but that is a practice so common on many other days that {it does not seem particularly done in honor of the Fourth. The bells which rang to usher in the day are now si- lent, the cannon no longer testify to | the "importance of the day, and there |seems in the opinion of some a ten- | dency to relegate the Fourth to obliv- {lon along with Fast Day, which now | appears to be‘the only formality.

Us muts holler for now and Independence forever” from its accompanying prediction of cele- brating the day with bonfires and il- luminations, the booming of cannon? When is the declaration ever read in public now-a-days? Seldom in the ears of the people, for the old-fash- ioned Fourth of July picnics is aban- doned to give way to private family picnics here and there. Is it possible that we ;;e growing selfish in our pleasures and exclusive in our recre- ations? After all can it be called a safe and sane Fourth which called out the fire department so many time last Fourth? Wouldn’t most of wus prefer to hear other bells ring in celebration of the day instead of a’call to the fire- men to come to the aid of those whose property was endangered? Think you that those who found _themselves, homeless at night on the Fourth, felt that a safe and sane Fourth had been any favor to them? In most instances we are told the conflagrations were caused by fireworks in the hands of careless children. Even the children are found to be regardless of aught else than their own pleasure. Their parents were probably enjoying the Fourth in their own way, and the young folks were left to themselves. The usual number of accidents from toy pistols seems to be reported, and the ordinary array of bandaged fing- ers and thumbs seemed to be in evi- dence on the following day. But the was expected to be concluded at eleven o'clock, and our citizens were at liberty to have their usual sleep. “Twould be a great pity if they should lose any of their repose in celebrating the Great and Glorious Fourth.

They should not be allowed to feel that Americans care less for their independence than these late comers to our shores. For their sakes alone, respect and vene- ration should be maintained for the day we celebrate in proportion to what we realize its value. But like all things to wh we have become accustomed, we allow ourselves to appear indiffer- ent when we really do not fail to es- teem them highly.

It has been discoved that this sort of saving does not save. To secure a good, honest, upright and noble man we have to begin with great-grand- parents, and to inciude society at large. The benevolence that gives a beggar a quarter has become suspected. To be real benevolent it must alter the conditions that make beggars. To imprison grafting police and to rescue fallen women here and there seem to do little good: more and more you hear the saying, “It is the system that is wrong.” The conscience of the world Is deep- ening. We are not losing faith; are discovering that to help people permanently it takes more faith than Wwe ever dreamed of. There is a new note in the thunder of the modern consclence. It no more says we must rescue the fallen, feed the hungry and give alms to the poor; it declares that we must prevent crim hunger and poverty. The cry of the ancient Rome was that the barbarlans must be destroved: the cry of modern civillzation Is that there must be no more barbarians, a few might be rescued as the Criminal’s Finger Prints.
