will prove by an elaborate balancing of Dreadnoughts. battieships of the turbine type. scout cruisers, weight of |broadsides. and rapidfty and range of gun fire that either the Teuton or the AnRio-Saxon is destined to rule the earth. In case of war. argues our compiler of war clouds and declmals. you must add Austria's navy to Ger of course. add Frances navy to Great Britain's. But. in that case. Italy Is pretty sure to back up her partners in the Triple Alliance. Whence it fol- lows that Great Britain will be com peiled to recruit Japan's powerful fleet. whereupon it is certain that Russia's by this time rebuilt battleships win be thrown on the side of Germany. As result of this, Spain will undoubted- ly rally to the support of England. Tn consequence of which. Germany will not hesitate to impound the fighting ships of the Scandinavian nations. And so our professional sea-terrors run on. adding inanimate figure to inanimate figure and predicting dreadful histori- cal changes on the basis of their re- suits. Why go to the trouble of pitt ting half the world against the other half, when there is just as much fun in trying to guess what would be the outcome of war between Great Brit ain and Germany"

This b My 67th Birthday CHARLES H. PARKHURST.

Dr. Charles Henry Parkhurst, the noted Presbyterian clergyman and reformer. was born in Birmingham Mass. April IT, 1S42. He graduated from Amherst College in 1866, and afterwards studied theology at the Uni versity of Leipsc. He entered the Presby- a teacher at the Wil1iston seminary. In 1874 he became pastor of a church in LenoA that year he was called to the pulpit of the Madison Square Church in New York City. In 1891 he became president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, and soon thereafter he achieved prominence by his assertion that a partnership existed between the police and lawbreakers in the metropo- lis The activity of Dr. Parkhurst and his society led to the famous Lexow invest igation. which resulted in a temporary re- form at least in the police department of New York

WHAT TO DO WITH HER.

What shall, or should be, done with or to Emma Goldman? is a question that is continually coming up, and about which there is much disagree ment. Again." remarks The New Bedford Standard, there Is talk of the deportation of Emma Goldman, on the ground that her husbands naturaIiza- ton papers are proven fraudulent and have been revoked. It is unwlse talk, because the woman is made more and more conspicuous and important with every attempt to exclude her from the country. Miss-or Mrs.--Goldman poses as an Anarchist. and In that pose manages to say a great many things which immensely displease most of us. But the more we manifest displeasure --of the emotional sort--the more we give the people whom she does im- press the notion that there Is really something in what she says. If she is allowed to talk, and if such argu- fment as she does advance is met. first by calm reason and second by decent and honorable living. her obnoxious theories will be far more effectively counteracted than ever they would be by any performance which she and her sympathizers could construe as martyrdom."
 Would the "let her alone" policy be really the proper one to pursue? It is hardly policy that would be pur- sued if it were known that her busi- ness in travelling about the country was to assassinate those who were not of her kind. Then she would be lock- ed up as a dangerous character, and her power for harm nullihed. But if she not a dangerous character. in the truest sense of the word? The an- archy that she breaches must lead to assassination. arson and other crimes. She excites criminaiity in others and encourages them to destroy life and property.
 The fact of the matter is that both the theory and practice of free speech are sometimes carried to dangerous ex- tremes in this republic of ours. How. in what way and to what extent the evil can be abated we cannot say, but 1t is a mistake to argue that people of the Goldman type can do no harm by talking and 1t is not possible or good policy to ignore her and her dangerous teachings Even if all the good and law-abiding people of the country should refuse to pay any attention to her rawlings. and make no attempt to controvert them, she would so on teaching her doctrines of murder to those who would listen to her and be influenced by her. Is 1t not possible to deport her effectuslly and keep her out of the country for all timer

then we find an editorial on the sub tect in The New York Post which we think worth printing entire. as fol- lows
 Statements have been made repeated ly by those conversant with the indus- try that if the tariff be taken or wood pulp or the paper made therefrom. the paper making industry win be trans ferred from the United States to Can ada; But the announcement rom At Al, there will make commercial paper from cotton stalks. gives hope that the ul- innate development of the use of the able the Southern States to more than supply the home demand for paper
 Experiments have been carried on for some years to determine how to for paper making. It has been demon strated that one-third of the gross weight of the cotton stalk is pure eel. luiSse or fiber of the best, best Gsal,y Sg foT to the 12,000,oo0 tons of cotton stalks produced annually in the South tho country may well turn for a permanent ssee SneeiS Of large portion Of the paper
 One of the obstacles to the use of the cotton stalk has been the cost of the chemical treatment necessary to make
  ing. Its adaptability has been well un- derstood. but the cost has interfered with it's practical or extensive use. Re- gently It has been discovered that the liquor after 1t has accomplished the dtsintegration of the cotton stalk has been treated in such a way that it can be made into a fertilizer which can be used upon the cotton lands. and largely restore the fertility of those lands. The revenue received from the sales of this fertilizer will reduce the difference of cost between cotton-stalk and wood-pulp papr.
 The 1000, ,000 tons of cellulose or pulp for paper that can be ob- South. would be a source of supply greater in amount than is consumed by all the paper manufactures in the United States at the present time.

 There Is one point in this article that we failed to refer to in our editorial on the important subject. but it is a point we'll worthy to be kept in mind. That is the statement that if paper making from cotton stalks proves a success many establishments for its manufacture will be erected in the South. Other things being equal. the plants for the manufacture of any arr ticle will be set up where they will he most convenient to the raw mate rial If good white paper can be prof itably made from cotton stalks we may feel pretty sure that the paper mills will be set up and operated where the stalks grow. Thus the South would be immensely benefited. both by sup plying the raw material and by work ing much of it into the finished pro. duct. Certainly our section has much to gain by or through the success of this industry.

THROWING KISSES.

Has kissing anything to do with anthropoiogy, or vice versa? If not. why should a noted anthropologist butt Into it? That seems to be what Pro lessor Starr. of the University of Chi cago. has done. according to The Sac ramento Bee. which says:
 This scientific person solemnIy as- serts that Mexico has the world beaten to a standstill in the art of throwing kisses It is a simple statement and Ss 1S s@shs ong somes msh Spaniards and Italians who declare the Professor has insulted their respective nations right where they live. This reiins wth rox starr oh but with one another. Only Mexico Is satisfied Mexico and Professor Starr, that is, for the Professor IS rsaping a6Indant Ssa Chicago University is duly mentioned and neither the Professor nor the Uni versity has sufficient sense of humor to ton. As to that, perhaps 1t is not ridiculous at all for kissing certainly plays large part in the worlds busi- ness, to say nothing of its pleasures.
 We were not before aware that throwing kisses is popular amuse- ment in Mexico, but the Mexicans like most tropical and semi tropical people. are a hot-blooded generation and when they can't get near enough to deliver the real thing to the se- nora or senorita they compromise by sending imitation osculations through the air. Whether that is satisfactory to the recipients we cannot say, but tent in the absence of the real thing. We have not heard from the women on the subject.
