TRIVIAL CAUSES OF WAR

The history of warfare contains
numerous examples of conflicts that
have originated through trivial causes
For instance, Turkey in the past sui
fered greatly in war with Venice
When the Venetian ambassador was
asked by the Turkish grand visor tt
ratify treaty by swearing in tho
Moslem fashion upon his beard anc
the beard of the prophet, he declined
because as he said, the Vcnctlan'
wear no boards"
This remark was too much for tho
Turk, who rctortcd angrily: "Nor dc
monkeys!"-an exclamation which
caused the other to tear up the treaty
and retire from the conference. Tho
sequel was sanguinary conflict IT
which fell $4,000 Christians and foul
times that number Of Turks.
A war ragged in China $50 years age
which began through the smashing o.
teapot.
A bucket was ono the innocent cause
IF 4 terrible war. Nine hundred years
AFRO a party of soldiers of Modcna
stole a bucket, apparently as prac'
tical Joke, from public well in boIog-
ma, and refused to restore it. f'ghtS
thcrcupon took place between the sol
diers of the rival states, and started Z
war which devastated a large part OF
Europe.
Equally tiny sparks have klndIed
MANY other confagations. The Dor
rowing of tobacco pipe and It's re,
tention caused civil war in the PamirS
and Afchanishtan, while the stealing
of lace pctticoat belonging to a cas-
tie woman by Moor led to long
conflict.
1t will thusly he seen that no article
is too worthless or subject too tfiV'
al for the purpose of unloosenlng inc
dogs of war.

Some thirty odd years after 1et.
Washinstons death, the Congress o.

"The Sea and the Waves Roaring

This country Is passing through an
other periodical policical convulsion,
the outcome of which is viewed with
alarm by many. The friction gener-
ated in the camps of both organizat-
ions is producing bitterness and bad
blood is in evidence. Some seem to be
bent upon rule or ruin, reproducing
the spirit Of 1860 when, according to
political lights of those days, the Dem
ocratic party, which had been in power
for so many years, was torn aSundcr
giving the Republican nominee q walk
over into the presidential office.
The moral of an old fable is seas
enable. The lion and the bear fought
over the carcase of sheep which
they had found, and when both had
been rendered korS du combat, fox,
who had witnessed the fight, walked
up and carried off the booty for which
the superior beasts had fought. Is
socialism witnessing struggle which
will give the organization an oppor-
tuniLy to ride into power!
There is Il long standing prophecy
of English statesmen which is yet to
be fulfilled. When the British eva
cuatcd Boston at the close of the revo-
lutionary war they nailed their colors
to pole and CREASED it so none could
ascend and pull them down. AS their
ships sailed from the harbor Salutes
were fired and the red coats yelled
back. "Ncvcr mind we'll get you yet.
The more scdatc representatives OF
the mother country, however, merely
observed, "Lct them alone; wait until
their first presidential election, when
they will break up in political row.
The United States passed through
some trying experiences at its birth
Tho federalists and what were called
the republicans of that day were IL
reconcilable. Issues have from time
to time been multiplied, until today
a rash and headstrong man, who be-
came president at first in the lottery
of assassination, is attempting to sci
aside the traditional law of the lano
for the purpose of holding office OF
President for a third term.
There have from time to time ap'
reared in the world natural born gen
fuses who have essayed to do what
others had not the temerity to at
tempt. Alexander mounted bucep'
palus and cut the Gordian knot. Ad'
mirable Crichton rode roughshod tol
q while. The Macedonian's career wa:
brought to close by his own deoau

was pierced through in midmgh
