WAS A REFoRMER JOURNALIST

Just year ago societies inter-
ested in reform were paying special
attention to the hundredth anniyer.
sary OF the birth of Horace Greeley
whose hammering editorials Ia the
ante-bellum days had awakened 10
the minds Of many of his day an alb.
hOrrence for the institution of slavery
Though the anniversary today re-
ceives but little attention the other
reforms to which Greeley also devoted
much vigorous English are continu-
ing to receive the benefit of his earn
est though often misguided editorials.
In referrh Z to the change which
has taken place In the nature Of
journalism since Greeley founded the
New York Tribune an editorial
writer 10 The Nation last year said,
Gin very many ways the newspapers
of today are better than they were ip
Greeley's time; In point OF freedom
from partisan control the conditions
are incomparably better now than
they were then. But In regard to
the association of its editorial view
with the personality of its editor it is
far harder in our time for news
paper to bear the stamp of one
striking individuality. Greeiey's
name will remain landmark In the
history of American journalism; and
perhaps no more emphatic tribute
can be paid to the extraordinary
character of its influence as an editor
than In the statement that he would
undoubtedly be today a greater
figure in history If he had not
received the tribute of a nomination
to the presidency Of the United
States"

PARK PLANS PROGRESS PEACEFULLY

The city clerk was instructed by
the Council Monday evening to pre-
pare statement concerning the city's
issue of park bonds which shall be
used as an advertisement In some
periodical which is read by bond
dealers. Mr.. Sans reported in re-
Spouse to the inquiry Of Chairman
Nation of the finance committee that
the correspondence with the bond
companies had secured no offer less
than per cent rate. The council
therefore tacitly agreed to Nations
recommendation for his committee
that the advertisement prepared by
the city clerk should refer to the
bond issue as at per cent rate, but
that the city would expect to sell the
bonds at premium,
Chairman Bideau of the fire com
mittee reported THAI the fireman's
Relief Fund had $500 which he
thought should be invested In long
time park bonds and the fund would
have an additional $1,000 for such
purpose when 1t received It's next
payment from the state treasury.
No definite action was taken but to
the discretion of the committee was
left the invest ment in the park bonds
or the general improvement bonds of
the city as should be considered best
for the city's interests.
Johnson reported that though the
bulky abstract for the fair grounds
site had not yet been completed that
all abstract matters would soon be
cleared up and the advertising of the
bond issue could then proceed.
Further on behalf of the buildings
and grounds committee he reported
that the ladies' societies we're being
actively enlisted in plans for the
identifying of the park sites. AS an
active step in that direction on the
part of the council itself 1T passed |
Bldeau's motion that the committee |
plan for setting out from three to
five acres In the fair grounds site In

LLOYD SMITH STARRED FOR K. U.

Basket ball fans and in fact all of

rejoicing at the excellent work which
he did for the University Of Kansas
team when he got into the game
against the star Blue Diamond five

Thursday night. The K, U. team
had been played off their feet In the
first half which ended 10 to 7 in favor
of their opponents of the Kansas City
Athletic Club. But the Jayhawkers
came back strong IN the second half
and made II points while their RIVALS
were making 2.
Free throws owing to X. q. A. G.
fouls ran the score up to "a to 81,
when the Blue Diamonds added a
point by a free throw. The game
from this point is described thus by
the Kansas City Times: pretty
passing and clever shot by Smith
pulled X. U. up to within two points
of their opponents and then came the
spectacular play that tied up the
count, Smith was standing un-
guarded under the Blue Diamond
goal. Stuckey got the ball and
winged long pass down the court.
Smith dropped the ball through the
basket before Blue Diamond could
get near him.
EAST passing and long shot sent
the K, U. team into the lead, q to 25.
Two free throws ran the count to 20,
and the game ended as Smith took
an accurate pass and whipped a
pretty hookshot through the netting"
Lloyd was sent In at left guard near
the close of the game and secured
total of five baskets as above re-

ALBANY. Ga, June 22.-An adjourn

Dougherty superior court is now in

sentence that would result in the de-

WHAT noNApARrE MEANT.

once in course of conversation with
Madame Campan, Napoleon said: What
France needs is mothers" This remark
has been construed in several different
ways. Some have thought he reflected
on the scarcity of offspring in the
French nation; others believed he meant
the poor quality of motherhood among
the French. and still others have insist
ed that he reflected upon the indifferA
ence Of French mothers to the children
who called them mother.
Judging the great captain by his
record. 1 believe he thought mothers
were useful as furnishing the worlds
supply of soldiers. When one recol-
Iects how many mothers children have
been buIlet-food for ambitious leaders.
and how much bloodshed and misery
have grown out of tyranny and ambi-
ton. il seems a pity that the supply
has been so plentiful in the ages past
and gone forever.
Whenever the peace idea prevails,
the world is going to wonder why moth
ers children have been so ruthlessly
sacrificed, and wantOnly destroyed.
When women obtain the liberty to
say whether war shall be declared or
otherwise, there viii be fewer battles
and strife sooner ended.
one of Napoleon's biographers has

Is who acquired greatness, all the
others having had their greatness
thrust upon them" The truth is. Napo-
leon only loved or respected his mother
alone. for he treated his two wives with
cruel severity when he had his oppor-
tunity. Because Josephine did not bear
him q son and heir he had no scruples
as 10 putting her away. He was not
even modest in his claims, when he
took the Austrian woman to wife, and
all his vain glory sunk to dust after
Waterloo.
His claim TO greatness does not rest
upon his respect or attention to woman
kind and I feel sure that his estimate

he would he speedily recalled and re-
buked by his sovereign. Shall the am
bassadors of heaven, stand with hats in
hard, before a gain-saying world, and
beg sinners to taste their wares%'
In the record which we have Of Christ's
ministry IN the flesh we read of insults
offered him and injury done him; but we
have no record of any mans ever daring
to patronize him, or of his asking any
man for his patronage. If the antigua
rians should unearth some ancient docu-
ment containing an account of how Je-
sus ever sought or was ever offered pat
ronage, we would condemn the thing as
spurious without looking for any other
further evidence. The Christ was meek
and loWly In heart, but he was filled with
an awful majesty also, which forbade
any mans attempt to treat him with
patronizing condescensiOn. Unresisting
he stood before PLATE, and the stern Ro-
man was moved by his majesty. PLATE
was more awed by Him than He was by
Plate 1t is uncomfortable that 1t should
have been otherwise. But while the an
cient man, who saw him in the flesh,
never dreamt for moment of trying to
patronize him, there are imuudent mod
ern men who assume such an attitude;
and there are churches and preachers
ready to make concessions to their i'm
pudence.
Come to church. There Will be good
music, and the sermon will be short.
Think of the implications of such an an
nouncement! THE hearing of the gospel
is not very important; but entertaining
music is worth your while; is not that
the clearly implied meaning of such an
announcement?
1t may be well to avoid sermons of
excessive length; but no self-respecting
preacher of Christs gospel should prom
Use men pulpit pellets in order to Sc
cure their attendance atn church. For
my own part would refuse, to accom-
odate the King of Great Britain and
the Emperor of India by a promise of
curtailmg the preaching of Gods word
to suits his whim. If / am Gods mes
senger, may not compromise the majes-
ty of my heavenly King by petty con-
cessions to any earthly power whatso-
ever.
The story is told of Peter Cartwright
that on one occasion when he was
preaching General Andrew ia ,kson came
into the church after the preacher had
begun his sermon. The preacher who
was behind Cartwright in the pulpit pull
ed his coat, and said, General jackson
has just COME in" speaking in a tone that
was heard beyond the pulpit. The rugged
preacher of the Western. wilderness had
no patience with such sycophancy, and
cried out, LET my coat loose. General
