CUTTERS FULL OF BOOZE.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.The cutters of
Hammond, Ind, ran trimming with
liquor yesterday. Derelicts from the
city's slums fell over each other in
a mad fight to drink from the foam
ing current. Thousand of other men
and women cheered as barrels of beer
were poured into the cutters and bot
ties of wine were cracked and tossed
on the city dump. Four thousand
dollars worth of liquor was spilled
by the authorities as wholesale IL
baton to the county option law. The
wine and beer was seized two months
ago in raid on four blind tigers"
near Whiting.

POOR RUSSIA.
(Goodwin's Weekly.)

Four years ago Russia was engaged
in horrible war; three years she was
in the throes of revolution; two years
ago and one year ago she was almost
overwhelmed with famine, and this
year the cholera is devastating the
country. 1t was bad enough to fight
terrible enemy 5000 miles from
her base; the upheaval and almost
civil war that wrecked the empire
three years ago was bad; the famine
was terrible, and We cannot compre-
bend the horrors of the present con-
tagion that is sweeping that country.
The world, before it was fitted for
the habitation of man, went through
CONFUSION after conyulsion; earth
quakes rent its crust; inconceivable
storms swept over it; the glaciers
were set in flow to grind off the
mountain tops to make soil to raise
bread for the generations of men
that were to be; the coal measures
had to be put under their pressure;
1t was practically planet on fire and
convulsed by storms for ages, how
long only the scientists can tell and
much that they tell us has more or
less speculation about 1t.
In the same way Russia seems to
be going through conyulsion after
CONFUSION, to be fitted, we hope, for
the peace and serenity and power
which is to be hers when her people
are fully matured and educated and
when her government loses it's harsh
ness and becomes government OF
the people. The trouble Is that while
Russia can conquer country and as
simulate its people more readily than
any other power, she cannot assimi-
late her own people to each other.
There is dividing line between her
aristocracy and her peasantry which
keeps them apart and keeps the one
from learning enlightenment and the
other from learning humanity.

SHOULD OLD PREACHERS BE
SHOT?


At the Methodist church Sunday
morning, Rev. Edwards preached a
sermon, bringing in that strange
question, Should the old preacher
be shot?"
A book was written on this sub
ject some years ago, showing how
the men fare in old age, after spend
ing their period Of usefulness in the
ministry, and are figuratively turned
out to grass" when they can no longer
do effective service. Everybody
knows how impossible it is for the
average preacher to accumulate any
thing for Did age while his work
keeps him always coming in contact
with grief and distress, and doing
philanthropic work, and the book re-
ferred to was intended to show the
necessity of retiring old ministers on
pensions.
There is growing tendency in
favor of retiring them on half pay,
this to be based upon the salary
of positions held during a term of
years preceding their retirement, SO
that there would always be proper
incentive to work UP to good POSI-
lions. and a penalty for continuing in
the work in case of absolute unfitness
for the vocation

Russia had plenty of notice before
the great war with Japan that Japan
was becoming terrible military pow
er, but General Kuropatkin says she
pigeonholed that information, dis
dained to believe that the little Japs
could ever meet Russian soldiers in
battle, and she refused not only to
recognize Japan's power, but the
courtesies of the Japanese nation,
and never counted on what was be-
fore her until she was confronted by
the most terrible war that ever she
was called upon to meet. Before the
war the officers of the Russian army
were supposed to give their govern
ment reliable data, while Kuropat-
kin had from his own brother officers
a careful report showing that the
Japanese army on peace footing
S-116 officers and 133,457
men, and on a war footing 1926
officers and 348,744 men, and re-
ported that the total army of Japan
was only 100000. but General Kuro-
patkin says Japan's loss in killed and
and sick was 554,8S5 men,
4 number considerably greater than
the whole force which they thought
they had to fight. And the general
says: I'VE underestimate or entirely

overlooked her moral strength" He
declares that the war. on Japan's
side, was popular side, the whole
Japanese people approved OF it, while
the Russians fighting in Manchuria
had no such support, and he admits
that in many cases the Russians out
numbered the Japanese, but were
beaten, and he adds: The explana-
ton of this Is simple, that the Japan
ese were inferior to us materially, but
they were stronger than we moral
ly. and Japan had trained her soldiers
from infancy" He gives pictures of
the school children being drilled and
their guns are longer than the chill
dren.
There Is one thing he does not
dwell upon and that is that the Japan
ese are fatalists, and that their idea
is they must either conquer in battle
or show their sorrow at being beaten
by committing suicide. 1t was war
OF fate, the Japanese had to fight for
their lives, the Russians were fight
ing away from home and friends, and
Russia herself, by the war, was I'M
defgoing one of those commissions
which seems necessary In order to
cause nation to round like planet
into form.

SERVIANs DESIRE WAR
People Highly Infiamed and Situa-
ton Critical.

BELGRADE, Oct. 10.-Even in Of
fetal circles it is now believed war
is unavoidable. M. Pasics, minister
of war, in an interview with the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent, de-
clared the situation was most critical,
adding: "Hostilities can hardly be
avoided"
A big mass meeting was held this
morning after which the demonstra-
tors marched to the Skuptschlna
(Servian parliament) members OF
which are assembling, clamoring for
war. The feeling among the mem
bers of the assembly is apparently
war-like. News that Austrian mont
tors coming down the Danube have
reached the Servian frontier is al
ready beginning to alarm the people.
The extraordinary session of the
Skuptschina, summonded to deal with
the existing crisis, opened this NOR
ming amid scehes of great excitement.
The war-like sentiment among the
delegates is very noticeable and this
spirit is given expression by the
prompt election to the presidency OF
assembly Professor Jovanovits. one Of
the most important agitators in favor
of war with Austro-H Hungary.
Two Austrian flags were burned
by a mob in Theatre square this
morning.
