Russia has broken the compact of the Triple Entente by engaging in negotia- tions, important because they were un- dertaken at all and still more important because they continue.
 The key to the affair, M. Hanotaux states, is the Bagdad railway, which is the pendant to German development. Germany is preparing her strategic posi- ton in view of a military or diplomatic operation, which certainly seems direct ed against England
 That position forms an immense cres- cent from the North sea to the Persian gulf, the Bagdad railway being the pen dant to the Kiel canal, Koweit to Flush ing. In this matter what is the position of France? Is she free or not? If she is not bound, she can either follow the policy of Russia and leave the eastern policy of Germany (which only interests her indirectly to develop as it pleases. or else she must identify herself with Ea glish policy If she runs the risk of conflict with the Triple Alliance what advantages are ensured to her?
 She must choose between Europe or Asia, between her alliance and her en- tente.

SUGGESTION FOR
 EDITORS TO CONSIDER

The following is a contribution to the department of 'The Pilgrims Scrip," in the January American Magazine:
 Here is a suggestion that l would like to pass on through your columns to some able young newspaper pub fisher.
 The suggestion grows out of an ex- perience friend of mine had with a great metropolitan newspaper, which printed a story in which 1t was stated that my friend had, the day before, kissed a sweet goodby to beautiful divorced actress in Paris, whom he was about to marry. At the time this oc- currence was said to have taken place, my friend was on this side of the ocean within plain and easy sight of his wife ond six children. Indeed, at the hour when he was supposed to be enjoying the delights of Paris, he was on the way to the laundry, with his week. s collars and shirts. It was a case where two men of the same last name got mixed by the newspaper, and the pleasures of Paris were awarded to the wrong one.
 ''But this suggestion has to do with the retraction that the newspaper pub Iished the following day. I tell you, t was one of the handsomest things ever knew a great engine of publicity
 
 fine type, and in a corner of the page where marine intelligence catches the crowd, all doubt was wiped away in the following clear and convincing para graph:
 "Mr. Jasper Periwinkle. who was reported in yesterdays Argus as being in France, is at Akron. Ohio. He is said by his friends to be preparing to spend the winter in Mexico.
 My. how good my friend felt to get the truth in print Even though mo- body saw 1t, except those to whom he personally showed it!
 Seriously, why in the world does a newspaper think that 1t is good busi- ness to be inhun1an and cruel? Is there anything on this broad earth more love- 1y to see than a creature made in the Image of God standing Up and admit ting that he made mistake and wishes to correct it? Is there anything about
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-19

that proceeding that Is calculated to make man or a newspaper hated by ones fellows? Do you yourself person. ally detest and dislike the neighbor who did you an unintentional wrong and then came around and asked you to forgive him
 If I were running a newspaper tand I helped to make newspaper for sev- eral years, and am therefore not en- tirely a theorisD, l believe that l would run regular third column or so of cor reotions of blunders we made the day be- fore Just let it be there in the paper every day, like the report of the weather department. Just let the paper claim to be nothing more in this wide world than an institution administered by human beings, likely to err but willing to correct. believe that a little third of a column like that-done sincerely, sometimes with humor in it-would come to be one of the great features of the paper. It would maintain a sort of material interest in the paper among readers. It would be interesting in itself It would encourage the staff to greater care. (There would be days when the paper could come out and say that it had not unjustly injured fellow man for 24 hours! That would be a great day-for anybodyD But always it would do what is most important-it would really amend, in way, some of the wrongs which are daily done. How monstrous is it that the printing press should ever fall into unkind hands, hands that are other than generous.
 T wish that some young newspaper publisher just starting out would make a try of this. I think that he could bank on the peoples liking his attitude. I am inclined to think, however. that an older publisher is more likely to fall in with the idea. large part of the brutality of the daily press is due to the youth of the news editors and reporters who vie with each other in making the heart hard"

A PLAY
 PRESENTED BY CHILDREN 9

"A Visit to Rock-a-by Street. a very charming little play, was given Friday evening by the academic department of the Birmingham seminary. AS the name indicates, there were scenes to delight any child's heart, for fairies, witches, goblins, cloeS, dolls, and wonderful flowers ap- peared in quick succession. The plot gave opportunity for some really good acting, since it was made up of a series of pam tomimes called by the fairies for the ben eft of a little earth child. All the scenes were attractive, but the most novel was the wedding party of the Lilliputians, with all the accessories of real cere- mony. The hobgoblins and elves ere ated a great deal of fun. The children all entered into their parts with such de- light that it was, of course, a success; it was under the direction of Miss Shipman, the head of the department.
 Several musical numbers formed an- other part of the programme, and these were all so well given that they added much to the pleasure of the evening.

Then Miss Morton made talk on Modern Italy in Music" laying particular stress on the lyric and operatic music produced by Verdi and his successors. She spoke Interestingly and we'll, giving in short time a concise treatment of her sub ject that betoken vast store of informa- ton and the ability to impart it.

The Backwoodsman's Purchase

From Judges Library.
 Early in the winter a man from the backwoods wandered into a Syracuse gents furnishing store. Here the shiny winter caps caught his eye.
 After gazing at these for a long while. he said:
 How much you want for one O them caps?"
 'One dollar" rejoined the clerk. ''Try this one on, sir"
 But this proved to be a size or so too small, sitting upon the wcodchop- per's head like a peanut on barrel
 'Here's y'r dollar. mlstor. III take thia cop"

May KILL SQUIRRELS.
Those at Lawrence Have Rabies, So
Scientists Say.

]. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary
commissioner, may order all the SOUR
rels in the city of Lawrence killed on
account of an outbreak of rabies
among them. A squirrel bit a small
boy in Lawrence yesterday morning
The squirrel was killed and Prof M. A.
Barber of the university examined the
brain and found rabies present in the
most viruIent form.
Another squirrel was seen in the
same neighborhood yesterday 1t was
acting queerly and the state board of
health ordered that it be captured il
possible and confined to allow the
rabies, if the animal had the disease,
to develop. If this squirrel develops
rabies the live stock sanitary commits
sioner, being the only officer who has
authority to order animals exterm1-
mated or quarantine established, will
order all the squirrels in Lawrence and
the immediate neighborhood killed to
prevent the introduction of the disease
to domestic animals and also to people.

DR.. Murray Must Spend Year in the
County Jail.


DR.. J. w. Murray of Hoyt, Jackson
county, has been saved the disgrace of
a term in prison, thanks to the Glenn
ency of Governor Stubbs. He must
serve one year in the Jackson county

Graham in the fall of 1908. Governor
Stubbs yesterday commuted the SEN
tence of DIR. Murray from a maximum
of five years in prison for manslaughter
to one year in Jail Senator John D.
Myers obtained the communication.
The doctor claimed that Graham had
been annoying Mrs. Murray SO he went
to the depot and shot Graham. Two
shots were fired, one taking effect The
wife's story before the jury raised
doubts as to the character of annoy
ance Murray swore he had taken con-
siderable whisky and claimed tempor-
ary insanity as defense.
DR. Murray was arrested and con-
victed in the Jackson county court. He
appealed to the supreme court and the
decision of the lower court was af-
firned several months ago. The man
date of the lower court has never been
recorded in Jackson county, awaiting
some definite word from the governor
An effort was made to secure full
pardon for DIR. Murray but the gov
ernor refused to grant this as several
hundred persons signed a petition ask
ing the governor not to extend Glenn
ency to DR.. Murray at all.
