happy turn clears the way for his action. But these circumstances have not been accidental. Cause and effect are associated and trace able. The President has been the master of his own destiny. and the enmlty of Hartman and the audaci- ty of his onslaught are the direct consequence of every act and utter ance and purpose of Mr. Roosevelt.
 There have been persons who have tried to fool the people by questioning Mir. Roosevelt's sin cerity; but If it were possible for Theodore Roosevelt to receive a warrant of integrity and a patent of nobility from the hands of one who manipulated the infamous Alton deal ne would have it set forth before all the world in the rancor of this de- tractor.

LAW AND ETHICS FOR RACE
 CANCELLATION.

To better the condition of the ne- groes in the South is to raise the level of society in the South. No matter how advanced in civilization dominant portion of a community may be, if there is another class edging toward depravity and vitiated by ignorance the social order for all classes will be unsatisfactory.
 The dual movement for solving or, at least. ameliorating the race problem which is now heralded from Georgia has the hopefulness of this primal truth, that effective labor in such case must necessarily be in a section of country where the bulk of the negroes are. Northern sym pathy or northern expression of dis approval are helps to the spread of right sentiment in the South, but northern interference, especially of political nature, would chiefly in- flame prejudice and retard amend ment.
 Intrinsicly the Georgla program IS as sound and encouraging as the demagogic ferocity of Senator Tillman is hurtful and discouraging. The ethical feature of the movement is Ito organize all the moral forces cf the South in one great body and appoint commission to deal with the situation affecting the relation ship of the races" The legal phase, closely related with the ethical one though promoted separately, is to revise the laws of the state with the purpose alike to make legal justice sure and swift for the most disturb ing crimes and to provide for the punishment of the leaders and mem bers of mobs.
 The race problem is wholly one of ethics and law. It can never be solved by passion and unreason. Nor can it be evaded by stupidly ignoring it or hopelessly regarding it as insoluble. But the problem is . the South's and it is not too much to expect that the dominant white race will prove it's supremacy not by meeting brutality, but by over- coming it with law and with the re- form of subservient conditions.

every leach and loafer is licensed by public opinion to pursue uninter- ruptedly the nefarious tenor of his way is as inexcusable as would be the district school teachers who encourage one half of his pupils to filch the dinner of the other half, or the lazy ones to copy their lessons from the states of their industrious fellows. Order and decency and a regard for civic and personal stand ards based upon the elemental vir- tues are as vital and consistent in community life as in family life. That order of paternalism which winks at violations of the law and excuses the violators on the theory that it takes all kinds of crooks and crookedness to make a great city is founded upon a false conception of what greatness is.

THE ANTl-RoosEvELT PLOT

The desire and determination of organized capital to hamper the Roosevelt policies and to prevent their continuance through succeed ing administration have been forced on the people of this country with convincing clearness. There IS no surprise, therefore, in the charge of President Roosevelt that these big interests are in conspiracy to con trol for their own ends, not alone the Republican convention of next year, but also the Democratic nomina- tions. The President knows the character and extent of similar movement in 1903, designed to bring about the nomination of Senator Hanna for the Presidency the sue ceeding year, which movement was cut short early in 1904 by the death of the senator. MT. Roosevelt also knows, from the various political sources open to him, the nature and scope of the present opposition to him and his principles of government.
 The charge of general plot to defeat the Square Deal doctrine and to restore the reins of government to the Special Interests IS plausible on it's face. Those interests have common cause in their objection to honest, healthful restraint. They know that if they control one party and not the other they will lose to the party strong enough to with stand their powerful assault. But for the present the fight will be con centrated against President Roose- welt, who represents the people, the great. mast erfui leader who has put check on commercial and financial piracy and whose program includes further regulations in the direction of popular rights.
 Before Theodore Roosevelt be- came President many of the evils he has since exposed, and many of which he has lessened or abolished. 1. were regarded as more or less con ventional. The people had not be- come enlightened to the extent to which they were being wronged by predatory wealth. Capital had little difficulty in directing the destiny of the Republican party. Its influence was usually thrown in favor of nsn of stFang pqpdlaFlss whoa 'sa-ldsn iss' 1eiAhsllans Ssp issae

President Roosevelt that there arose, within the Republican party, a man to challenge the Special Interests and to declare for the Square Deal and the people. This declaration, and the acts and policies that have backed it up, have awakened the whole country and have brought to the zealous support of the President not alone the rank and file of his own party. but also hundreds of thousands of men in other parties. In short, the issue now is not so much between the old parties as be- tween the people and organized capital, with President Roosevelt the leader on the one hand and at this moment Edward Fl. Hartman oa the other.

foolish to underestimate the power of money in politics. But it would also be folly to become alarmed lest this power should confuse public intelligence or purchase controlling support. President Roosevelt and his policies are vastly stronger now than they were when the Special Interests, with Senator Hanna at their head, challenged their popu- larity in 1908. The apostle of the Square Deal has made good; his principles have borne fruit. It is fortunate for the country that the real issues and the lines of battle are being defined thus early. Money is not stronger than morality in this nation. Kansas City Star,

Four years ago Mrs. Allen saw the need
of a library for the use of the young peo-
pie of Downs She was filled with de-
sire to help uplift them. She started out
alone and determined to have a library.
The citizens became interested. Thirty OF
them subscribed for stock at SO a share
and an association was organized, Mrs.
Allen declined the presidency, preferring
to take up the work of librarian, and for
four years she has performed her duties
without a dollar of pay. Under her man
egement the library, starting with seventy
five volumes in rented room, has grown
to q fine collection of 100 volumes, oc-
cupying a neat little building. the gift of
Andrew Carnegie Helen Goulds gift to
the Downs library was 500 volumes.
What Mrs. Allen is doing for Downs Is
being dons, In a measure, by women In
many Kansas towns and cities. A notable
instance is found in Parsons. There a
good library was suffering for lack of
proper care. A club OF young women took
It in charge, induced the city authorities

then agreed to run the library Six OF the

The women OF Abilene have done heroic
work in building n library. The members
Of four literary societies In that city

QuentlS COupleO Win lSlSiNhSS
TO certain prophecies of forty years
ago all. Of which have been fulfilled
except the last, and that, according to
general Servian belief, is now due. II
King Peter should be assassinated, or II
his reign should come to an end by other
violent means the peasant phophet will
have made good in every particular, and
there are plenty OF Servians who would
then look hopefully to their country's flu
ture, for the peasant declared that after
the climax In his vision of terrors Servia
would enjoy long period of peace and
prosperity and rise TO permanent strength
among the nations.
These prophecies form a chapter in re-
cent servian history which in the light of
twentieth century intelligence seems better
fitted TO the dubious atmosphere Of the
dark ages. But II is undeniable that the
rawlings of an illiterate peasant have exer-
cised q potent influence on political events
and still have power to sway a people long
accustomed TO coups de'etat and murders
in their royal palaces. The fact is that the
greatest immediate danger to the present
order In Servia is the possibility that at
any moment some fanatic may take II into
his head that he is the chosen instrument
for fulfilling the doom OF the Karageorge-
Witch dynasty as foretold by the peasant.
This man first came to more than local
notoriety in 1865. on June 10 of that year
he rushed at midday through the streets
and market places of Ujtza, many miles
from Belgrade. shouting for help in behalf
OF Prince Michael Obrenovitch. then ruler
OF Servia.
"rhey are numbering the Prince" he
cried repeatedly. and Dramatically besought
all whom he encountered TO bestir them
selves In concerted effort at rescue.
Everybody knew him, Matheas of Krem-
ma, an ignorant village laborer greatly
given TO paradlng his dreams and boa sting
that they came true. II may be that there
were some among his listeners who had
superstitious faith In him. possibly the
majority laughed, but his demeanor was 50
frenzicd that he drew n crowd and
presently a street was blocked
The police Investigated the cause OF ths
commouon and saw the peasant weeping
