In a recent address in Chicago DR..
Buckley vigorously attacked the doctrine
Of Christian Science and declared that
the country was absolutely insane on this
form Of religion. AS a vice president of
one Of the largest insane asyiums In the
country. and as one familiar With all the
vague and irrational theories and beliefs
Of it's inmates, DR.. Buckley asserted that
none Of the lunatics was capable of evolv-
ing anything more absurd than the
theory of Christian Science. The high
priestess Of this science, Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, does net strike us as insane.
however, whatever may be the case with
some of her followers. The method In her
performances does not suggest insanity.

there is class Of riders, thoroughly ex-
perienced and very skilIful. who are daily
taking tremendous risks by their reckless
and dare devil riding. No matter how
skilful no rider is free from
danger Of accident. There are many CON-
5itions over which he has no control
which at any time may cause him to lose
direction of his wheel. A slippsry or Yield
ing surface will oftentimes suffice to do
this. So will the giving way OF some
part Of his machine. Yet every day we
see boys with heads down, pushing their
wheels ct high rate Of speed across
slippery railroad tracks, lodging around
electric cars and teams, and 1t is3not un-
common in the suburbs to see one racing
with an electric car and running along
within q foot or two of the track. Fortu-
nately up to the present time there have
been no serious accidents resulting from
this recklessness, but the time will come
when some of the reckless riders will
lose control OF their machines aud suffer

dent Of Saturday ought to set all the dare
devil riders to thinking Of the terrible
risks they are taking.

road strikers have won a complete VIC
tory. The strike broke out over refusal
of the companies to recognize the sm-
ployes' unions. In the settlement the
companies agree to recognize the unions
and take back Immediately eighty per
cent of the strikers and the remainder
eventually. The victory seems to have
been won entirely by resort to violence.
There were men enough to take the strik-
ers' places, but the strikers assaulted
them and drove them away. They also
destroyed much of the companies prop
erty and threatened to destroy more II
their demands were not acoeded to. The
civil authorities were either unable or
unwilling to protect the companies prop
erty, mobs Joined the strikers and a COM
plete wreckage of cars and tracks and
power houses was imminent. Hence the
companies gave in and conceded practi-
oally all the strikers demands. Though
the case of the employees was not without
merit their triumph is clearly case of
the triumph of mob violence.

The session of the French Chamber OF
Deputies today is likely to be fraught
witch great results. The new cabinet will
be put upon trial and II it falls there will
remain, says Paris despatch, only one
man whom Frenchmen regard as possess
ing sufficient strength and ability to cope
with the situation, and he is in Co nstan-
tinople. Practically the coming contest Il
between the republic and militarism,
and the selection of the man for minister
of war who put down the commune with
an Iron hand means that the government
is going to undertake to throttle miliear
ism In earnest. One of the first acts OF
the new ministry will be the removal Of
Gen. Zunlinden from the military gov.
ernorship of Paris. At the present mo-
ment he more than any other man stand
for militari SIN, and as he controls the
garrisons of Paris If he chooses to misuse
his power the civil government Is at his
mercy. Yet the new ministry has deter
mined to attempt his removal. 1t is be-
lieved the government can command a
smally majority in the chamber, and will
be sustained, but this by no means will
entirelyg clear up the situation. Upon
the issue largely depends the loyalty
of the officers of the army. If they
stand by the Republic and obey tbs orders
Of the ministry all Will be well, but IL
