Col. James g. G. Lea, assistant quar-
termaster general, U. S. A, favors the
institution Of war as, says he, "war is
work, hardship, heaIthfuI growth; peace
is ease, luxury, disease" His present
position and military training is sufh-
cient reason for his stand. It is a diff
fcult matter for any man to cut loose
from the prejudices which weave them
selves into his character by reason Of
his vocation. On account Of this it is
imperative on every one to take the
views Of other men with grain Of salt.
No one can deny the fact that war
has accomplished salutary steps not
that war is always a stepping stone to
a better condition is erroneous. Sharp
and bitter conflicts have come from
trivial causes, where reason and justice
and not brute force should have pre-
dominated. Because an unjust war
results in good it does not follow that
Right should be seized by the fOrelOck
and dragged from her princely throne.
The justice of the course of our own
country in the Mexican war was enter
tanned with great doubt by many con-
scientiOUs people at that time, and
Gen. Grant, who took part in it, said it
was zone Of the most unjust wars ever
Baged by a stronger against a weaker
nation" To-day it is the sincere belief
Of multitudes that England and the
United States are both engaged in IN
Just and unhOly wars. War, in the last
analysis, has the elements of barbar-
ism; it means that the brute force Of
one man, represented by no regard for
principle but spurred on by personal
desire, shall crush the weaker. The
only difference between an individual
combat and one in which a nation is
engaged, is, that there generally is a
class that restraints the impetuOus and
unreasonable course Of the other.
This republic of ours will find that
its pillars must be hewn from the solid
quarry Of reason, if it endure. Passion
has helped US in times past, but can do
so no more. 1t viii in future be our
enemy"

IDOL OF COWPUNCHERs.
An Arizona Girl Who Led a Party
Safely Through n Most Dan
Eerous journey.

All over Arizona the cowboys and
hunters have a new toast. They are
all in love with the same girl Her
name is Rhoda Riggs, says the Chi
cago Tribune, and she lives with
her old father at a ranchhOuse
near the Pinera canyon, in the widest
part Of the territory. Miss Riggs is
good looking, but that does not con-
stitute her claim to the affections Of
the "cOw punchers." They are all her
willing subjects because she has led
them safely through a most danger
Gus journey, with war party Of
Chiricahua Apaches at the other end
Of the road. The Indians shot a pros
pector named J. D. Mack, and left him
for dead. He crawled to the Riggs
ranch and managed to tell his story
to Miss Rhoda. She bound up his
wounds, left her father in charge Of
the patient, and set OF on horseback,
with her rife over her shoulder, to
give the alarm. First riding to Fort
Grant, from which post a detachment
Of cavalry was sent out at once, she
organized an imprOmptu army Of cow
BOYS, which she led on the trail Of the
flying Apaches. She succeeded in
catching up with the Indians in the
mountains, and the men under her
command killed and captured most Of
them before the soldiers came up to
complete the rout. Now she is the
heroine of all Arizona.

forwards, creating a world always be
fore her, leaving worlds always behind
her
So the passing years seem to find
the people Of one age ready and willing
to pronounce as mythical the hard
actions Of those In the preceding one.
Hence, it is not strange that minor
events Of the civil war are being
doubted as ever having taken place,
and when the personal actors in this
great and tragic act Of history shall
have passed away, the foundation to
many interesting and beautiful stories
shall pass with them

PROF. BLAKE AND HIS WHISTLE
To Thwart an Injunction He Turned to
the stars for the Correct Time at
kansas State University.

Prof. LuCien I. Blake, head Of the
department Of physics and electrical
engineering at the Kansas State unver-
sity, is the author Of a clever scheme to
Outwit a writ of injunction.
Last December Prof. Blake conceived
the idea Of blowing the big fORhOrn
whistle on the new physics shops at
Lawrence at IL o'clock so that the
farmers could correct their timepieces.
1t was a big whistle and could be heard
for % miles. But after q time the
Western Union Telegraph company
secured a writ of Injunction prohibiting
Prof. Blake from blowing his big whis-
tie The Western Union had a contract
for furnishing the university with the
standard time and Prof. Blake's whistle
interferred with a section Of the con-
tract. Hence the whistle was stopped.
But Prof. Blake began to study astron-
Omy, and placing a set Of instruments
in the basement Of the physics build
ing, prscticed calculating the time by
the stars. It was necessary in order to
get one observation to bore a hole
through the wall Of the building from
cellar to roof, but it was done and soon
Prof. Blake was able to calculate the
time to the thOUsandth part Of a
second. He secured an instrument
that enabled him to read the stars in
the daytime. And then he laughed
at the writ Of injunction and informed
the Western Union Telegraph company
that he would resume blowing his whis-
tie on a certain date, and he did
The Western Union is not furnishing
the standard time to the Kansas State
university now, and visitors to Law
renee will have an opportunity to see
Prof. Blake's method Of getting the
time from Gods timepiece.

NOW 1T IS sHERIDAN's RIDE.

NJ - II - GElLkAAlAN-S EsADEa
Not more than a month has elapsed
since the Barbara Frietchie episode Of
the civil war was denied, but reafirmed
from personal experience. Now Gen.
Manning, Of Boston, is responsible for
the statement that the story Of Sheri-
dams ride from Winchester is a myth
and that Phil Sheridan had practically
nothing to do with the victory of Cedar
Greek, October 10, 1854 While the de-
NAL Of both these historical incidents
has been successfully refuted, it calls
forth an interesting view Of events in
general which may account for the
early denial Of happenings not so well
emblazOned upon the historic page.
If there be one thing in the world
whose tendency is to separate the alb
stract and spiritual from the actual
event, it is the agency of time. About
5000 B. c., when the historic curtain
first rises vast migratory movements,
manifestly begun long before that date,
are going on among the families and
tribes of the different races of mankind.
Behind this all is mysterious and IN
known. Time levels the walls and at
last even bIots out the actions Of man
kind.
The mythology Of the world is not
meaningless. It, too, once had an act
ual basis, though the story thrown
about the event by the Wild imagination
Of q people who quaked before the
powerful phenomena Of nature, was
frequently a great exaggeration from
the occurrence. It illustrated some
truth to those primitive people, but is
now living out the last stage Of its
existence.
1t is the intuitive and rational belief
Of al men that the soul shall aye en-
dures but things that are temporal
shah pass into oblivion. Emerson was
mindful Of the ieeting forms Of now
visible existenoies when he said: aThe
things We now esteem fixed shall, one
81 one, detach themselves like ripe
zEuit from our experience, and fan.
The wind shah blow them none Knows
whittier. The landscape, the figures,
Boston, London are facts as fugitive

STILL KEEP BAN on ADJUSTMENTS.

STILL KEEP BAN On AlIUSEMEN rs.
The twenty-third delegated quadren-
NAL conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copsI church came to an end Tuesday
after q session Of four weeks. Perhaps
the question hottest debated was,
whether or not paragraph 24S of the
dicipline, which among other things,
borbid attendance upon theatres, cir
cuses and dancing, should be repealed.
It is Of no vital importance to the
spiritual life Of the church whether
this restriction be enforced or not
There may be, and doubtless are, mem
bers Of Methodist churches who con-
form to the rules of the church in act
but not in thought, but such dare not
be openly what they really are.
Men are not saved by ecclesiastical
edicts. Salvation does not depend on
law, which takes cognizance Of past
acts; aud cannot, therefore, keep men
from evil. Genuine religion eradicates
q desire to do evil, and the voice Of
God speaks through the conscience to
guide the possessOr in the way Of right
as far as his ethical education enlight-
ems him.
A high moral standard and a tender
conscience will actually lead men to
love the truth, love God; and this ques-
ton Of amUsements should be left to
the decision Of conscience and not to
the lsw-making power of the church.

TraveIingmen and the Trusts.
kansas City Star.l

The Travellers Protective association,
in session at New Orleans, embraces a
membership Of 1922 persons. The
sentiment Of the association in regard
to trusts is thus summed up by the
executive committee:
The dark clouds Of mOnOpOIies and trusts still
hover over Us, and since our last convention
many commercial travellers have lost their posi-
tons, and to use the language Of an authorized
agent Of the trusts $4,000 commercial travellers
have been thrown out Of employment; 3 million
dollars daily are thus saved to the trusts by the
consequent Withholding Of advertising patron
age from country newspapers. In other words,
the trusts In these two items alone save to them
selves million dollars daily. all Of which is
withdrawn direct from the people. With such
conditions realized a great and essential step
viii have to be taken in the warfare upOu trusts
which has now become inevitable.
The meaning Of this declaration is q
powerful and indefatigzble propaganda
against those combinations which inter
fere with trade and industry. The trav-
cling salesman goes everywhere. There
is no place in the broad land where his
voice is not heard. He penetrates to
out-of-the-way places where his mes
sages from the big, busy world outside
are received eagerly. He is a ready and
interesting talker. He is a careful and
intelligent student Of passing events.
He is an industrious reader and a keen
observer. He is q repository of useful
knowledge which he dispenses in an
effective way. He never lacks for aud
itOrs. When he drops down into little
dull village the people look upon him
as a positive benefactor and absorb his
instructive conversation with greedy
attention.
More than 10000 Of these propaganda
lists are arrayed against the trusts. They
are proclaiming their hostility to these
greedy combinations far and wide, and
are giving their reasons for it. It is
not rational to suppose that this strong
and pervssiYe influence which is per-
petually at work will not increase the
natural prejudice Of the people against
the eneroachments Of the trusts on the
right Of fair competition.
The injury which the travelingmen
have suffered from the trusts is no
greater than that which is complained
Of by many other interests. Thousands
upon thousands Of men in all lines Of
occupation have been thrown out of
employment by the trusts. The prices
Of many Of the necessities Of life have
b cen greatly advanced by the trusts,
and more than all, they have set them
selves up TO violate a cherished Amer
ican principle-the right to buy in the
cheapest and best market, not to speak
Of the privilege OF earning living.

MORBID SENSE OF INJURY.
In Certain Temperaments 1t Ia
Marked More Especially IN
Suspicious People.

By this sense Of injury is meant
that vague sense which aff1icts many Of
Us at times Of being the object Of hos
tile feelings on the part Of others, says
Popular Science Monthly. No doubt
we often are, for, in the stress Of the
necessary rivalry and conflict upon
which progress depends, we give and
take injuries. But there remains
large excess Of this injured feeling
which cannot be so explained, or which
Is disprOportionate to its cause or en-
tirely gratuitous, and is thus shifted
into the field Of morbid psychology.
This only is here treated-the morbid
sense Of injury.
It seems to find an easy entrance to
the mind from mere feeling Of being
Il-used or stinted in sympathy to the
entertainment Of serious grievances
or persecutory ideas. In certain tenn
peraments it is marked. On sO-called
''blue" days we are constantly moved
to a sense Of injury" from fancied
aloofness of our friends. Madam Lofty
Sights Us, and our jaundiced magma
ton has 1t that she has heard some
thing detrimental and disikes US. But
lOI to-day, when the liver is released,
madam smiles sweetIy and never heard
3 thing.
So in suspicious people. They enter
tain a chronic state Of mind, by which
the acts Of others are given an invid-
iOus construction. They anticipate IL
VIII, carrying the chip on the shoulder.
OF two constructions Of a given situa-
ton, they leap to the more offending.
