The Amer Proves Ioyaity.
AS an evidence of his friendliness to-
ward Great Britain the ruler of At
ghanistan has prohibited the priests
from preaching a holy war upon pen
atty of having their tongues pulled
out. He has also ordered that all At
ghans who join the rebellious border
tribes shall have their feet cut Off.
The British general, Willcocks, In COM
nand of the forces in northwest India,
had reached close quarters with the
Mohmand tribesmen. The brother of the
ameer who is trying to usurp the
throne is avowedly anti-British. The
Mohmands, who are the chief cause OF
the trouble, are great tribe half in

diction. British authorities can hardly

Churchill Wins In Dundee.
Winston Churchill, president of the
British board of trade in the new cab

uency by plurality of 2,7O0, although

candidate came out third in the race.
Britain to Pension the Aged.
The distinctive feature of the annual
budget presented to the British house
of commons by Premier Asquith Is
the provision for allowances from the
national treasury of $1.25 week to
persons over seventy years old and
possessing incomes under $3.50 year
This would not go to those dependent
classes already under the public care.
Asquith estimates that on this plan
the pensioners will not exceed 100000
and that the total cost will not exceed
$50, 100000. Stringent conditions would

be imposed for forfeiture and suspen-
sion, and the premier added that II
this scheme was socialism 1t was So
cfalism Of kind that both parties &C.
cepted It will not go into effect until
Jan. next.
Another feature of the budget is the
reduction Of the duty on sugar from 81
to A cents hundred.
The national debt had been further
reduced by 500, OO0, 900. and the new
income tar scheme had brought In
more than had been estimated. In the
last three years they had paid of over
5000, OOO, 900 Of the national debt, so

prominent business men called on the
president May IL and asked his aid IN
furthering their plans. In a formal
statement they say that all the signs
for revival Of prosperity are good IL
only experimental legislation may be
halted. They point to the fact that
there is promise of bountiful harvests,
that the unemployed are eager for
work and that the relations Of capital
and labor are not strained, while mon
ey is plentiful and ready for invest
ment. They asserted that business
had already suffered too much from
demagogic agitation and that they pro-
pose to proclaim, as the president has
proclaimed, that the bulk Of business
men are honorable and upright. They
deprecate the arraying Of class against
class. $50
In reply the president said that he
was in hearty accord with the purposes
Of the association, but took pains to
point ont that the stagnation was not
caused by reform legislation, but by
the revelation Of shocking conditions IN
some Of the corporations. While agree
ing that it was well to condemn un-
wise agitation, he insisted that "the
apathetic acceptance of abuses in our
governmental and business administra-
tons is more dangerous than the dem
agogic appeals of professional agitators
to class hatred" Because the nation
had 'pilloried the real malefactors" he
warned against any one selling the
moment to say that any considerable
number of our business men are male
factors. -- ....s.:. ...
Some friends of the administration
voiced the opinion that the work Of
the Prosperity league is really to pave
the way for the coming advance in
railroad rates. A circular issued by
the league says that prosperity de-
clined with the railroad adversely and
that it could return only by renewal
of good business for the railroads.
Socialists Name Debs Again.
The outcome of the national conven-

dent.

the fact is no longer questioned Tafts

enough delegates to win on the first

companied with some renewal of the
third term talk. since Utah and Texas

The Bell Telephone company at Butte,
Mont, has settled the strike of the
linemen and operators which started
fifteen months ago by conceding near
~ every point in dispute, even having
dismissed some Of the injunction suits

Bawden Won't Resign.

Professor Bawden Won't Resign.
President Dabney of the University
Of Cincinnati has asked for the resig-
nation of Professor H. Ell. Bawden Of
the department of philosophy because
of the private views held by the latter
on the question Of marriage. 1t was
said that the request was inspired by
the disclosures made by Mrs. Bawden
concerning the effect of her husbands
peculiar views on their home life.
Professor Bawden promptly announced
that he would not resign and would
contest the effort to remove him, sub
hitting the justice of his case to the
American people. Mrs. Bawden says
that the professors views have changed
since she married him twelve years
ago. They now live apart and have
no children to complicate the matter.
There is no charge Of personal i'm
morality, but merely Of radical views.
He holds that comradeship should be
the only tie between man and wife on
the spiritual plane and that where this
does not exist separation should be
made as simple as possible. The only
limit he would place ON sexual promis-
Guilty would be this ethical ideal Of
comradeship and the restrictions Of
stirpiculture on the physical side. He
insists that comradeship rather than
love is the essential He agrees with
Plato that the state should substitute
motherhood and that the individual
and not the family is the proper unit
Of political and social organization
Against Competitive Athletics.
President Swain Of Swarthmore col

to authorize the abandonment Of inter.
collegiate athletic contests for at least
one year and that the football and
basket ball games scheduled for next
year be Cancelled But contests in the
milder form, such as tennis and Ia
crosse, may be continued The deci-
sion is based on complaints of mem
bers of the faculty and Of the alumni
that "the desire to win has come to
overshadow the legitimate purpose Of
athletics to such an extent as to form
a serious menace to the primary pur-
pose of college life" The athletic ad-
visory committee is willing that the ex-
pertinent be made, but believes that it
will not be found to be in the best in
