Thet thére should be an elliance be~ - kween Great Britain and Italy at this * #ime i3 but a natural thing. Both.are | 'witally interested in the Mediterranean. | hey are opposed to the Turkish ad- . Mance as threatened by the new de- Velopments end it is only to be ex- . Dected that they should combine to |, bppose it from the very stert. Italy has been, previous to the war, in complete understanding with Ger- mmany and Austrie. In the present troudle it could find no reason in the. \triple alliance agreement why it should support those two countries, and it hag vontinued fo maintain its neatrality Gespite the great amount of sympathy for the allies. There wes nothing in 1he terms of the allance, however, W2ich tied Italy’s hands in the Med- i and it was not intended to.

Its poor water supply, the loss of its water- front and its much criticised railway terminals are all matters which gave support to the mew form. By the new charter which goes into effect fn’ Januvary, 1916, this city of 400,000 population, the tenth in the country, will be governed by a com- mission of five. Star chamber or exec- utive meetings of the city government aro forbidden. They must be open to the public. The veto power of the mayor 1s removed and it is stipulated that five per cent .of the people can call for a referendum on ordinances Or upon measures carrying appropri- ations of public money other than pay- Tolls or emergency expenses. Buffalo now has the opportunity to demonstrate to itself and to the coun- try whether the form of government makes any difference in the handling of its problems and find out how much rests upon the men selected for office. HANDLING COTTON EXPORTS. Just at the present time while every effort is being made to aid the cotton situation, and when southern states are passing laws restricting the cot- ton planting for the next year, it would @ppear that the American merchant marine is an important factor. It was but. a short time ego that Great Bri- tain, by virtus of being in control of the seas among the belligerents, de- clared that cotton is not contraband end that there would be no interfer- ence with its shipment even to ports of the comntries at war. Such was a tremendously important aid to the cot- ton market. A great handicap was removed and foreign matiens at once placed large orders here for early de- Hivery. The removal of . handicap, how- ever, only serves to uncover gnother. While this insures unrestricted trade with Great Britain and neutral coun- The outcome of the predicted Anglo- tries, it nevertheless discloses the sit- #tallan understanding will depend _Jargely upon the strength which Tur- ey develops in the war.

For a great part’of my life I Dbe- longed to'the class who' do not read fction. You know of them, of course; and not reading fiction they are to- tally ignorant of its educative or en- tertaining features. I find fictipn is mostly .composed of real life experi- most of God's gardens and "earth’s beauty spats. Fiction rightly read cer- tainly enlightens and satisfies .the mind. - Some fiction Is fuss and froth, ‘but most of it is informing and inspir- ing. It is really the way for one class to find out how other classes live, and for one people to learn of the customs and beliefs and eccentricities of other nations ‘or tribes: the birds and but- terflies and flowers are not loft out. John Foster declared that “fiction may be much more instructive than real history,” and this may be the reason bits of fable adorn the Bible. When I think of jt.I have a sense of shame because of that old prefudice. against novels—that miserable check to en. lightenment and pleasure. Some peo- ple read to forget, but I prefer to read to remember, Not to keep the mind alive to good things is to aull our perception and comprehension. Peace, prosperity and progress—war, famine and pestilence form two ex- tremes of life—two of its greatest con- trasts. To look over this country is to witness the truth of the' first—to gaze upon Europe with its great war not yet 100 days old we get confirmed the truth of the second, with famine in Belgum and cholera’ in Austria. There 18 no question as to which is the preferable condition. The cause of war is the outcome of _cherishing wrong ideals—in _overestimating the value of force. - Man is prone to let the petty uneasiness of his life over- shadow the blessings which God is constantly showering upon him. He ventures to accomplish by force what he could achieve by jove and maKes a tragedy of the life which was intend- ed to be a joy. He knows better, but declines to do better. Today we can appreciate - the saying of = ¥ro “Where all are selfish the sage o better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous.” There is no truer savin than this: “The man on the wrong side despises arbitration” The man prompted by selfishness does not want the decision of reason as to his Just deserts, but the right to wrest by force whatever his insatiable desire dictates. There are one hundred times as many hogs Joose as there are in the pen. A dis- turber of the peace can never see any justice in the law. It is the turbulent Who always declare all they want is to be let alone, What they really want 1s to do as they' please regard- less of how much they may disturb or irritate others. It is the deluded who are blind to the truth and who think error is right and persist fn it with deafened ears. The man on theWrong side cuts such a figure in life there isno doubt he was necessary by contrast to intensify the beatty of rightéousness; but he ‘has no power to in the least mar it. Wrong is sometimes done in the name of the Lord, but it does not make any difference in whose name wrong is done, it cannot be made right, To avoid the shoals of life onme should not have too little confidence in himself or too much confidence in others. ,This is where the happy med- fum counts—where too much, as the old squaw said of whiskey, 1s not just enough. One of the requirements of nature from man is that he ,shall believe in himself, byt not be stuck upon himself—just enough to move his brain and hand aright without ex- citing his conceit. Nature is com- manding us all to keep our balan but how few of us do it- We must be credulous enough to support our coi- fidence, but not enough to put us in the easy-victim class, Life appears to have been planned so as to keep us all alert. If we meet its every re- quirement we shail watch ourselves as well as watch one another. The Almighty meant it should be a real task to live aright and made the fruit of the work satisfving to the soul. Those who ‘do not keep an edge on soon get dull. In spite of all the eafety that have ever been invented, the. Sreatest device is constant care—a mind whieh concentrates upon “safe- ty-first” The careful man behind any machine produces from it the most skillful' work. Ida Tarbell is right when she says: “The secret of elimi- natir~ accidents is one-third safety devices and two-thirds organization and education” The mind stands first for safety or for success; and next the action of man. The mind formu- lates laws, but they are deadwood un- less man backs them with his activ- ity. What may be done naturally cannot always be acomplished by material substitutes. A suppressed, underpaid workman is at best a poor machine. A eystem which awakens interest, which calis out the best there is in a man, is the o devices use safety-first The spirit of dopotism beilgves In mastering-races and Inferior-races—in mastery and bondage; the spirit of democracy belives in the brotherhood of men and the fatherhood of God, And of tho last Honest Abe Lincoin was, the super-type and he declared God never made a man good enough. to be master of another man. It was rick Henry of Virginia who sent ringing down the centuries: “Give me liberty or give me death.” There are too many Americans who do not know the difference between the spirit of port given it shows the mind of the publte pre tnclined. one of the progressives’ butes Gespotism and the spirit of democracy. os of the mm—im next a sufferer your- ences and beautiful pen pictures of i ) g BB e g stores do not e want.

Somehow no one ever lets an oppor~ tunity pass to pay an old grudge. Those who never pay anything elee cannot omit to pay this. - Most of us never have learned to-cancel mean- ness. We let the spirit of retaliation irritate us constantly, and the spirit of prayer in some people is too weak to overcome it. It usually makes us more miserable than we can possibly make the object of It. It keeps us awake nights when we ‘are sl sweetly and it makes us explode in Wrath when we are fin pleasure in life or joy in song.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK WHEN HALF GODS GO Emerson is both poet and philos- opher when he writes in. one of hid poems: Heartlly know When half rgo&l 8o The gods arrive. It is a principle that many a man or woman has proved true jn' life, and had the courage to test it. For a degreé of courage is required to re- nounce what appears good in favor of what is really best. That is the degree of courage required to renounce what appears good in favor of what is really best. That is the reason why most of us wilfully hang on to certain fancied advantages in a way to_ shut us out from perfect freedom and en- during, happiness.
