reach for his blunderbus, give
orders instead of polite notes, and
enforce his orders with shot and
shell if necessary. No power or
powers can be allowed to bunco or
bully the United States, especially
on this continent. Our self-respect,
honor, interests and safety forbid
it, and all Governments must and
will be made to fully understand
and appreciate this fact.
England's duplicity is already
manifest. In Pertinent, in reply
to Mr.. Healy, Mr. Balfour, speak
ing for the Government, said there
could be no such thing as "peace-
full blockade" in war, and there
was no need of declaration of
war" when a state of war existed.
This reply was evasive, besides an
admission that the preliminary
pledge given the United States was
mere pretense and had been vio-
lated. Germany has not been
heard from. If Balfour's state
ment is indicative of the course to
be pursued, the United States is
liable to be in at it any moment.
The failure to give satisfactory
answers to the United States diplo-
matte notes and discontinue a war
like blockade of the Venezuelan
coast leaves the United States but
one course. Admiral Dewey, with
fleet of American war vessels, is
in the vicinity, and telegraphic
flash will give him instructions, if
indeed he has not already received
them. American merchant vessels
are Ell route to Venezuelan ports.
Will they be denied entrance by
British or German war vessels? If

The evidence before the Arbitra-
ton Commission shows the anthra-
cite operators to be a very queer
kind of "divinely commissioned
guardian of the destinies of the
laboring man." AS the labor
unions do not claim divine COM
mission" they are pardonable for
lack of reverence ior such pro-
cedures as ''long-ton" weight to
the miner, enslaving of children,
filching the pittance earned by
widows and cripples. In fact,
workingmen are so Ignorant and
perverse" as to utterly derry such
"divine commissions"

INSURANCE

One of the best known insurance firms
in Louisville is that of Albert Reutlinger

surance at 227 Third street. Mr.. Reut-
linger has been in this business many
years and has always been pleasant and

Orient Insurance Company of Hartford
the American Insurance Company OF
Boston, and the Germania Fire Insurance

The deadlock in the School
Board over the election of Presi-
dent and the consequent tie-up of
all business has excited comment
as to the cause. AS School Trus-
tees receive no salary and it is
supposed there is no politics in
school matters, the initiated are
mystified. The milk in the cocoa
nut is the President names the
committees, and-well, a promi-
nent politician remarked he would
rather be the Chairman of the
Finance or Building Committee of
the School Board than President of
a bank.

"PEACE ON EARTH"


peace on earth to men of good
will" sang the angels in announc-
ing the birth of the Redeemer, and
his teachings were of peace, love
and charity among men. The van
itv. avarice and passions OF man,
amid cruelty and devastation, had
arrayed every man against his
brother. The world was a scene OF
blood and carnage to the safety OF
ambition and greed; armies OF con-
quest slaughtered, pillaged and
DESTROYED all. Man sought only
the qualification of passion, revenge,
and power to that end only, by hre
and sword. Peace, love and char
ity. characteristics distinguishing
man above the brute, were second,
rejected as ignoble and debasing-
for women and imbeciles. This was
man, the noblest of Gods creatures
but God had been rejected, for
gotten. Man worshiped his pas
sions, generating envy and hate for
his fellows instead of love and SYM
pathy for the children of one Father,
and sought the qualification of de-
basing lust rather than the joys OF
eternity, for which he had been
created.
"Peace" alone could save man
from determination on earth, as
we'll as eternal loss-restore him to
the attributes of his being, the real
ization and attainment of the pur-
pose of his creation. From the
birth of Christ dates mans saliva
ton from brutal depravity as well
as eternal perdition. And from His
birth He and His disciples were per-
secuted and their destruction
sought, not that they preached
peace and love, but because they
were believed to be of another king
dom, which man in his vanity could
not realize was not of this world.
And the most glorious conquests,
replete with lasting blessings to
man, have been those of the lone
missionary, with no other wea-
pom than the cross, preaching
Christ and Him Crucifed, conquer
ing the nations to peace, love and
charity. To the Redeemer is man
indebted for his restoration to his
true status in life, advancement
and pleasures of peace, love and
charity to one another, and his ele-
walton in aspirations to the pure,
noble and divine-the Christian
civilization, the beacon light to all
men of good will, the gaol of
earthly and eternal happiness.
How meet, then, that we should
rejoice on the anniversary of the
birth of Him who preached, sui
fered and died for this boon to man
kind. And let us rejoice in that
spirit OF peace, love and charity
becoming the disciples of Christ,
the Savior of the world.
Hail thou ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn.
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Sing to the Babe of Bethlehem.

The Street Railway Company is
catching it, as usual, with every
spell of bad weather, which i'm
presses upon the public the short
comings of the street car service.
These ineficiencies and lacking are
numerous and we'll known. The
Louisville people are patient, but
they can not help kicking at per-
sistent neglect and perversity by
public corporations that violate their
promises as we'll as the law. Why
is the company not compelled to
observe its charter and regard the
needs of the people1 Too many
public officials seem to be quasi
Directors of the street railway
that is, they seem to have much to
say abont who is employed, how
things are to be run and what the
interests of the company require,
instead of the provisions of the
charter or the interest of the pub
lie. Hence in their official capacity
they vote or act accordingly. For
instance, a meeting of the City
Council to act on an ordinance the
Railway Company opposed failed
because quorum did not show up.
And there are others. Why public
officials serve corporations instead
of the public who elect them is a
conundrum that may be solved some
day. In the meantime the people
can grumble, wait for and push into
the crowded cars-the Street Rail-
way Company is boss.
