WAR CAUSES DEcADENcE.

Tht real effect of war upon national
development and vitality has been
most clearly set forth by David Starr
Jordan in an address delivered last
year:
The survival of the fittest in the
struggle for existence Is the primal
moving cause Of race progress and OF
race changes. In the red stress of
human history, this natural process of
selection is sometimes reversed. A re-
versal of selection is the beginning of
degradation. 1t Is degradation itself.
The only race degradation ever known
is that produced by those forces which
destroy the best, leaving for the
fathers Of the future those who could
not be used in the business of war or
in that of colonization. The effects of
emigration are on q parallel with the
effects of war, but with this enormous
difference: the strong men who emf
CRATE are not lost to the world. The
loss of one region is the gain OF an
other. But the losses of war can yield
no corresponding gain. The warlike
nation of today Is the decadent nation
Of tomorrow. It has ever been so and
IN the nature of things must be ever"

Lacaud, of Paris, France, who is stop

money market has not been disturbed
in the least by the alleged revolution
in Mexico. Discussing this phase of
the situation, he said:
The banking interests of France do
not believe the revolution is nearly so
bad as at first reported and that there
is no cause for alarm relative to Next

A Sensible View of the curfew.

A good woman writes the Herald to
urge the city fathers to give Palestine
a good "curfew' law. The Herald can
not consistently do so, because it has
never been able to see where any good
could come Of such law. II may be
an old fogy idea with us, but we have
always thought the place for the eur
few" measure was in the home. and If
boy can not be controlled in the
home the community has small chance
to control him. The law already pro-
hibits boys from lettering or drinking
IN saloons, or visiting other. question
able places, and the officers can do
their duty now without any additional
law to assist them. While a boy is IN.
der control of the parents he should
be controlled. and after he gets older
he should have sense enough to con.
troll himself.-Palestine Herald.
