up by church people generally and the
Rev. Mr.. Jones, pastor of the Mothodist
Church, especially.
In q sermon preached on last Sunday
week. Mr.. Jones referred particu arly TO
the domoraazing effect OF Sunday bail
games upon the community generally,
ana especially 70 the Sunday school OF his
church claiming that the games attracted

What Will Happen Next?

When Port Arthur is fully in the
hands of the Japanese, will that end
the war? That depends upon several
contingencies.
If Russia is wise, it will end the
present struggle, but to the glory of
Japan and the humiliation of Russia.
But Russia is resourceful l. diplo-
macy. Our prediction is that one of
these two things will happen: Russia
will in some manner embroil China
in the present muss for the purpose,
not of conquring China, but Of calling
forth the Intervention of other nations,
with the end in view of being able to
say that she, Russia, could not at
tempt to lick the whole world, and
therefore more gracefully submit to
defeat.
Or, Russia will move her forces all
out of Manchuria to the cars posses
sions, strengthen the frontier, and
continue the struggle with Japan for
an indefinite number of years, and
eventually wipe out the Sunrise King
dom by virtue of her overwhelming
resources of men and money.
Should Russia do the latter, how
ever, she will take the chances of hav
ing to contend with internal eruptions
of endless possibility; uprisings of the
many people she has heretofore con
quered and subjugated.
International intervention would be
the most humane ending of the
trouble.

A New Park Proposition.

Louis Zimmeht has been circulat-
ing petition for the past few days
asking the city council to pass, an
ordinance providing for the planting
of row of trees in the center of
Broadway, beginning at 18th street,
and running to the east limits of the
city, except that portion of the street
between Williams and Baker Ave.
Also for the purchase of plot of
ground at the intersection of 18th and
Broadway, for city park. This
would undoubtedly beautify the city
a great deal, and give US a park away
from the business part of town. We
believe the move a good one, especial
ly the park part of it, and would like
to see it pushed through.
