Are the Richmond Blues home again
They have made a series OF deadly marches
unequalled in the history Of legs and AN
teens. They have faced in order and
never faltered before these world re-
nowned heroes: the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery Company OF Boston, the
Putnam Phalanx Of Hartford and the
Governors Foot Guard Of New Haven.
This was a perilous adventure and will be
a lasting glory, Richmond, proud and
happy, Is singing:
-oh. the Richmond Blues
Have slain the bsoze.'
A couplet whose truth gets an uncon
ditional pardon for its rhyme.

That Lack Of Initiative in the Navy.

A few days ago THE SUN commented
editorially upon the deplorable lack Of
initiative in our Navy Department,
showing that VI are just now begin
ling to initiate the British In the oon-
struotion of Dreadnoughts, which the
Department could have laid down
four or five years ago and have had in
commission now.
In illustration OF this we referred
incidentally to Lieutenant PouNpsToNE,
who in 1908, five years ago, submitted
plans and specifications for a battlesbip
of a new type and had them pigeonholed
for his pains. 1t was by way Of illustra-
tion merely and had nothing to do with
the main proposition. 1t is a fact that
England now has her Dreadnought-

''Teaching." said President Eliot rs
an altruistic profession, and no one
should enter it who is not willing to
devote his life for the benefit of others.
As a rule. the teacher is not well paid
individual. but there is satisfaction
from other considerations. There is
the satisfaction of being useful to the
community, for the teacher is above
the greed of a high salary, and there
Is also satisfaction from the respect
and affection of pupils in after life.
"When l first began as teacher III
the university" continued President
Eliot. Il was receiving $1,000 year
and soon was offered the position OF
superintendent of the Merrimac mills
in Lowell, with the salary of $1,000 a
wear. and it took me two weeks to de
eide the question.

The Ace of Niagara Falls.

It is strange how estimates differ as
TO the age Of the Niagara falls. Geolo-
gists have studied the question Tor
wears but they do not agree in their
conclusions. The old notion was that
changes in the level of the land around
the great lakes produced the Niagara
river about $4,000 years ago Later
investigation reduced this estimate to
10000 years, a wonderful difference.
Then a famous geolOgist made it 3o'Oou
wears. which, in turn, was subsequent
~ reduced to 5000 years. The most
recent estimate of which the editor
has heard is that of DR.. Spencer, VINO
thinks that the river is about 52'OoU
years old and the falls $1,000 years OLD.
At one time, thousands Of years ago,
the height OF the falls was about 42u
feet.-Chicago News.

ments to this constitution. Those
amendments were the best that at that
time could be framed. But those
amendments could and should be i'm
proved upon. The work of a constltu-
tional convention had its development
in the thirteenth. fourteenth and hf-
teenth amendments. But the work OF
our ancestors is still unfinished. High
err and higher must we elimb-higher
and yet higher. And as the patriots
of the past. like Moses. devised our
constitutional form of government. so
we, like Joshua. must continue their
iabors and complete their unfinished
work
And by the grace Of God we are do
ing it. Just as certainly as the sun
rises in the east and sets in the west
l believe one Of the next great amend
ments upon the constitution Of the
United States is to be a clause pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicating poi
sons as a beverage. The southern
states have set before us an example
of what the temperance people can
do. The northern people helped the
southern people to free themselves
from the curse Of slavery. But today
the southern people are helping the
northern states to get rid Of even
greater curse. They are setting US an
example that deserves our imitation.
They are showing US how to get rio
of a curse that is enslaving the Souls
of thousands of our citizens. When
the north sees the south prosperins
without the saloon, growing in atiu-
ence and happiness, It, too, will awaK'

the organizer and lawgiver. The one
completed the task OF the other. "As
the Lord commanded Moses, his serv-
ant, so did Moses command Joshua. /
and so did Joshua; he left nothing IN
done of all that the Lord commanded |
Moses" Now, the great question
which comes before Us is this: Are we |
ready to take up and carry forward |
the unfinished labors Of those who |
have gone before as Joshua completed
the work of Moses?
There is great deal of unfinished
work in the old homestead. Your ia
Their and mother were not lazy or neg
ligent people. They worked from early
morning until late at night. They were
not extravagant. They did not run up
useless expenses. When they passed
away they did not leave a lot of bills
unpaid At their funeral you did not
have broken column Of flowers stand
ing at the head of the casket, symbolic
of the fact that they were snatched
away in their prime. Their lives FOR
the most part were well rounded lives.
When they died you chiseled the same
passage of Scripture on both their
tombstones: BLESSED are the dead
which die in the Lord from hence
forth-yea, saith the Spirit, that they
NAV rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them" But were
those Iabors Of your father and mother
completed? If they were upon earth
would they not find something which
they would like you to DO?
You were a mature, educated man
when your father died. Whyf You
were one Of the oldest children. and
YOUR father was able TO do for you
what he could not do for your young
est brother. It was a hard struggle,
but he sent you through school and
college and educated you as a lawyer
a phvsician or civil engineer. You
have been getting on splendidly. But
how about that younger brother? "Oh,
YOU answer, John is not earning MS
salt. He is no good" No good!
think John has the making Of just as
good man as you. What he needs Is
an education. What he needs is a de
veloped and'a disciplined brain lie i
only twenty years of age. What wouiC
Won have amounted to If you were
thrown upon your own resources a
twenty and allowed to make your owl
way in the world-perhaps sent int
a store as a clerk instead of being sen
to college? You had better put you
shoulder under that brothers load
You had better economic and say
and give your youngest brother an ed
ucation. That is what your fathe
would do if he were alive. That
what he did for you. Is it square an
