The world-old Problem.

II is the world-old story that is being
told In Turkey. Mans struggle for
liberty and opportunity is the guiding
force with the world. And the upward
course has been one that has always
been in bloodshed, for the benefciar.
les of special privileges defend them
selves by the bayonet as long as they
can find men who viii WELD them.
These are the first steps, force matched
against force; in the more advanced
stages the plutocrat turns to cum
ming to evade the superior power of the
greater number that is sought to exploit.
Mingled with every advance are reli-
gious prosecutions and the Turks are
pursuing the same course that all other
peopls have pursued since the dawn Of
history. To read of today's happenings
in the sultan's domain is but to turn
back the pages of time and read of
Rome and Greece and Spain and France
The world is shocked, but no more SO
than future ages will be, when some lag
gard people two centuries hence tread
the path We are reading today.
1t is the same problem that humanity
at all stages has dealt with and must
deal with until the coming of the perfect
day. At the bottom of it all is the de-
sire of individuals for the comforts of
life and for unrestrained freedom of
action and thought. And while the
Turks are seeking to overthrow a des-
potic government and replace it with
constitutional one, and while they have
resorted to bloodshed and given I'M
bridled liberty to passion destroying
with sword and torch those with whom
they disa gree, how fares it with MS in
America, are we solving the problems
that confront US, or only in more civ
ilized manner striking as Ia the dark
as are the Turks? And the problem
of humanity will not be solved until
every one, who is willing to serve, is
we'll fed, well-housed and well-clothed
and has opportunity for moral and
spiritual uplift. With this goal ahead,
the work of our statesmen and public
lists in dawdling over the tariff on by
rites will seem astounding to future gen
erations as the actions Of the Turks in
the massacre of the Americans for re-
ligious reasons appear to US. There is
an awakening just head.-Boise Citi-

NOV Lay Ne Down To sIeep. :

Near the camp fires pickering light,
In my blanket bed lie,
Gazing through the shades of night,
At the twinkling stars on high.
Der me spirits in the air
Silent vigil seem to keep,
As l breathe my childhood's prayer,
Now | lay me down to sleep"
Sadly sings the whippoorwill
In the boughs of yonder tree,
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemen may be lurking near,
In the canyon dark and deep;
Low / breathe in Jesus ear,
81 pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face / see,
One the Savior called away;
Mother, who in infancy,
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her, Savior dear,
eff should die before l wake"
Fainter grows the Pickering light
As each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds Of night
Fill the air with saddening cries;
Over me they seem to cry:
"You may never more awake"
Low l lisp, "If should die
pray the Lord my soul to take.

A Gem from the Mountains.

Hon. &c. H. Libby, the well known
attorneysat-law, Of Boise, Idaho, relates
the following: Several years ago while
engaged in 'enlightening the world
through the columns of country news
paper, and trying too keep body and soul
together, and at the same time prevent
the sheriff from serving the final papers
of attachment and foreclosure upon the
Office fixtures and printing outfit, there
dropped into our sanctum an old and de-
crepit prospector, who held in his hand
the remnant of a sheet Of brown wrap
ping paper, upon which was written the
following verses. The visitor was sadly
in need of food and raiment and offered
the editor the poem for the small sum of
90 cents, wherewith to purchase a neces-
sary meal. As the said editors funds
we're all but exhausted, he having only
Ou cents IN MS possession, ana having
tasted for the previous 80 hours, yet, after
perusing the offered production, he could
not turn it down, and gave up the money,
trusting to fortune for the satisfying of
his own craving appetite" We infer
that upon presenting his application to
the proprietor of the restaurant for a
meal on credit, he made such an urgent
and convincing argument that he con-
cluded to abandon journalism and take
up the practice of law, and thus at once
set out on the royal road to fortune"

EDITORS ENLIST
FOR GOOD ROADS
BRUNSWICK TO BE ON AUToMo-
BILE ROAD FROM WASH
INeToN TO JACKSONVILLE.
A Meeting is to- Be Held in Columbia,
S. c., in October at Which stens
Will Be Taken Looking to Con-
struction of the Road.

For the purpose of working for an
automobile roadway from Washington
to Jacksonville, editors of the several
states will hold a meeting in Colum-
bia, S. c., in October at which the
plan will be launched. In order to
complete this road a bridge will have
to be erected across the Altamaha
river, but Glynn and Mcintosh coun-
ties have already practically agreed
to do this.
The Washington correspondent of
the Columbia State writes on the sub
ject as follows:
The movement for good roads in
the south is about to take on a new
and interesting phase. Some of the
newspapers along the route from
Washington to Jacksonville, via Raj
eigh, Richmond Columbia, Savannah
and Brunswick are organizing an as
sociation to promote good roads in
general and one hard, leved road good
for all classes of vehicles from Wash
ington to Jacksonville. The idea is
for the editors of certain newspapers
in the towns along the route to hold
a meeting some time in October at
Columbia. This is the joint PROPOSE
ton being made by the Richmond
Times Dispatch and the Washington
Post.
The Washington Post expects to
offer a series of prizes for road
building along the route, and is seek
ing the cooperation of all the princi-
pal papers along the route. Mr.. Ira
E. Bennett, editor-in in chief of The
Post, is writing letters to the prin-
cipal editors along the route propos-
ing an organization and the meeting
at Columbia in October. Already let
ters have gone out along the line
from Mr.. Allen Potts, managing edi-
tor of the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The idea originated from the scout
ing party of automobilists which
sent out by the New York Herald
and the Atlanta Journal-made trip
last week from Atlanta to New York.
All along the line, these gentlemen
reported they were met with the
greatest enthusiasm, not only on the
part of the automobilists, but of the
farmers, merchants and other classes
of people. They said they found the
strongest sentiment everywhere along
the route in favor of making good
roads. Suggesting the idea of an
organization to Mr. Bennett, he took
1t up, first with Mr.. Potts of the
Times Dispatch, who sent out a let
ter to brother editors along the
route. Of course what the various
papers do along the route will depend
upon local conditions, necessities and
resources. The Post is espec: ally in.
terested in that section of the road
between Washington and Richmond.
but Mr.. Bennett says they will help
all along the route and offer prizes.
open to the entire road from Wash
lngton to Jacksonville.
1t is likely also that newspapers
further north will enter into the or
ganization and project the road from
New York to Jacksonville instead of
from only Washington. Mr.. Bennett
will also take up the matter with the
Baltimore papers, and later with those
of Philadelphia and other cities in the
north.
