Due1ing Preachers Followed Teach-
ing of Daily Environment.
From the New York Evening Post.
In the fact that two mountain preach
ers" in Kentucky have just fought z
duel with knives in church. there is
nothing so gTotesque or startling as
might at first sight appear. The men
were but falling IN with the conventional
morals of their mountaineer parishioners.
They had had bitter quarrel. result
Ing In a family feud; and the natural
way to settle such controversies was
with bowie knife or pistol 1t is prob
able that all this seemed TO the ministers
TO have little TO do with religion. That
was an affair of special emotions and
peculiar ceremonies; whereas killing an
enemy was a part OF the practical work
Of everyday life. with which Christian
ity had no call to interfere. These
mountain preachers were simply doing
what the custom of religion called for.
The proverb. like priest. Ike people"
has also its converse, like people, like
priest" Clergymen inevitably take a
certain color from their environment In
New York their temptations 70 lapse
from the severe rule are social or fnan-
cial; they may be asked TO relax lit
tie toward the peccadilloes of the rich.
or may interest themselves in invest
ments. In Whitley, County. KY, their
besetting sin Is to go and kill some
body.

Harmon, of Ohio.

It is evident enough that Mr.. Harmon,
of Ohio. is to be tried out in the Presi-
Dental class.
Throughout the South, where the DEM
ocratic eampfires are ever burning, II
burning anywhere. the Ohio mans ca
reer is watched with almost eager inter-
est. His tilt with Mr.. Bryan has been
applauded generally. Without exception.
so far as we have seen. the Southern
newspapers indorse the governors atti-
tude.
We do not believe the South knows
what It thinks Of Harmon, but we do
believe It wishes to know more Of him.
At this writing. he seems likely enough
candidate for the Presidency IN 1912. But
that race is a long way of yet; and Mr..
Harmon's measurements are not now
definite enough to be called conclusive.
So far, the Ohioan pleases immensely,
VIII he grow as the days go by?
Whether he grows OF not viii depend ali
but exclusively on Mr. Harmon himself
we think. Mr. Bryan's attitude Of thinly
yelled hostility will do him no partic-
ular harm. perhaps. if that is all that
may be said against his availability.
Symptoms are plentiful that the Democ-
racy is not going to accept dictation from
Mr.. Bryan as to who shall or shall not
be the next standard bearer of the party.
But Mr.. Harmon is being watched. and
viii be watched. Also. he is betng
weighed If courage tempered with
discretion seems to be characteristic of
the man. he win loom larger and larger
as the nominating time draws near.
We have an idea the Democrats
viii seek a leader next time who
Is ical-but-not- too-radicaI, conserva-
tive but-not- too-conservative-a sort of
'betwixt and between variety. Is
Mr.. Harmon that man? II may
be that he is. but the Democracy Is not
sure-that is. the Democracy of the South.

There is no mIstaking the fact that

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Battle of Bannockburn-June "a

On June "a. 1914. was fought the IA
nous battle OF Bannoekburn, between
King Edward II of England and King
Robert the Bruce Of Scotland. The
English King was not as wise and as
brave man as his father. He was in
huenced by unworthy favorites, and for
that reason he allowed Bruce time TO
collect a large force and thoroughly
fortify himself against the English,
while he indolently looked on.
When Edward found one place after
another falling from his possession, he
assembled one OF the greatest armies
which a King of England ever COM
manded. There were not less than 10000
men.
On the other side. Bruce summoned
all his mobiles and barons TO Join him
when he heard of the great prepara-
lions which the King of England was
making. He was able TO muster to his
support only about 1900 men; but Rob-
ert was one of the most expert generals
Of his time. and he had good officers
under him.
Bruce studied how he might supply
by address and stratagem what he
lacked In number and strength With
this purpose in mind he led his army
down into a plain near Stirling. called
the Park, near which, and beneath it,
the English army must needs pass
through a Doggy country, broken with
water courses. while the Scots occu-
pied hard. dry ground. He then caused
all the ground upon the front OF his
line Of battle. where the cavalry were
likely to act, TO be dug full Of holes,
about as deep as a mans knee. They
were filed with light brush wood, and
the turf was laid on the top, so that
it appeared a plain field.
When the Scottish army was drawn
up the line stretched north and south.
On the south It was terminated by the
banks Of the brook called Bannockburn.
Bruce rode along the line of his army.
He told them he was determined to win
the battle or lose his life, and those
who were not willing to do the same
should withdraw before the fight began.

been handed over TO trust, that such
inventions might have been hindered in
their progress and their benefit TO hu-
manity by suits for alleged infringement
OF patents. The progress already made
in aviation seems 10 show that the in
vention of alrships may be as revolu-
tionary in its effect on our civilization
as any other OF the big inventions Of the
last century. We are all agreed that
private rights in inventions should be
protected and the inventor should get
his reward. But at the same time, in the
case of an invention of such universal
interest and such potential benefit 10 all
mankind there is pretty general feeling,
We are sure. that the most liberal COM
petition should be encouraeed-

Two More Parks.

The Senate wisely voted 70 create two
new parks-one in Georgetown. by the
purchase Of what is known as the Mon
trose tract, which is covered with
stately oaks and is ideally adapted for
parking purposes; and the other on
Meridian Hill. east OF Sixteenth sHeet
and just above the original boundary.
The House conferees, with like wis
dom. have now agreed TO these two
purchases, and if finally ratified, which
seems likely. the entire community Will
be subject to congratulations.
Washington is growing. Witness the
figures Of the census, just taken. Within
quarter of century the entire area
OF the District OF Columbia will be built
over. population Of million souls
VIII be housed within its borders. More
breathing spaces viii be needed. The
time TO begin providing for them IS now.
Each years delay means enhanced
values and larger outlays.
Georgetown has no park That splen-
did section Of the Capital City has been
singularly neglected in this respect
Heretofore it has called upon Congress
in vain. But now its call is needed, and
the conversion Of the Montrose tract
into a park will be joyfully hailed by
thousands of people.
The Meridian Hill project, though more
elaborate. Is equally meritorious. It. too.
IS in a section of the city that lacks
public reservations The natural beau
ties of the site, with its commanding
elevation, are unsurpassed. From the sum-
nit OF the hill a panoramic view of the
city is to be had. Moreover, the crea-
ton of this park will mean the further
proper development OF the great thor
oughfare leading from the White House
nOrthward TO the District line.
The purchase price OF these proposed
parks is reasonable. In either case the
money invested would be remunerative
as a private investment

JAMES GORDON. ''THE GENTLEMAN
FROM MISSISSIPPI"

From the old. old South that we thought asleep
In the dust of the roses buried deep,
Hidden now through the dim. FAR years
By the haze and blur Of a peoples tears
A Voice has called-and over the WY
A Prophet comes from vanished day,
Where the faded dust OF the roses then
Leaps TO the bloom Of life again.
Leaps 20 the bloom Of life where SIN
By vale and Tslley--by mead and hill
The vanished fragraace-the sweet perfume
From her lanes OF light and her fields Of bloom
Rise again IN the old time CLEAN
OF day now dim in the age Of dream.
Where, as the last Of the Old Guard wait.
Her prophet stands at the Twilight Gate.
An old-fashioned gentleman-nothing more;
One Of the clan that has gone before
Yet, as he speaks and the nation hears,
The mist rolls back from the vanished years
That leap to life as the curtain lifts
And the dream returns as the soft wind drifts
From the past asain-and we seem TO sec
The Old South Just as It used to BE-
The Old South-when in the yesteryear.
The song was sweet and the dream dear
When truth and honoF-when pride and faith
Were something more than vanished wrath
When life had something better to hold
Than the strife for gain and the greed for gold
In the crash and clash Of an endless fray
That knows no rest through the driving day.
Though he speaks to US from day long dead,
And the SHOWS Of the winter crown his head,
Deep in his heart the days but bring
The sunshine Of an eternal spring;
Though the Night Is near. and the hour is late
AS he stands to-day at the Twilight Gate
Where the dusk swings in from the western hill,
His eyes are turned to the Morning Stall
And while he waits NAV the sundrift's goid
Be as deep as ths sun he knew Of old
And tho skies above be as deep blue
As the skies Of old that his Morning knew
And one by one from q vanished track,
May every dream that he held come back
And follow on to the Phantom Shore
An oid-fashioned gentleman-nothing more.
