TURKS READY To
SUE FOR PEACE
Empire Expected to Appeal to
Save AdrianopIe and Salon.
ika From Capture.

PARIS. Oct. SO,-TUrAey is ready tc.
sue for peace in the Balkans.
This report was circulated today in
aish diplomatir circles and Was given
vide credance.
The Ottoman government desires to
retain what prestige it can, it was SAID,
by having hosilities ended before the,
cities Of Adrianople and Salonika fell
into the hands of the allies and before
the Balkan TROOPS could move closer to
Constantinople
TWO great armies one Bulgarian and
the other Turkish, are maneuvering for
stratgetic positions around Adriauople.
According TO latest advices, lighting
is going on at a number of points. but
u decisive engagement has not yet been
procipitated
Reinforcements on Way
An army of SeTvians is making a
forced march to join Car Ferdinand's
army which has Adrianople beleag-
uered, while the Turks are rushing all
the reinforcements possible from Con-
stantinople
Another Turkish army is cooped up
in The city.
Ewing squadron Of Buigarians are
harassirg the Turkish outposts and
night fighting is continual
This was the tenth day of the cam
pa!gn around Adrlanople and il found
the TURKS with their backs to the wall,
virtually fighting in the last ditch to
uphold the crescent in Europe.
While Wa Minister Nazim Pacha
sent optimistic reports to Constantine
ople, nevertheless he was confronted
with greater sUffe!ings than any army
could infiict. Half the Turks are fight
ing on half rations owing to the scar
city Of provisions, and most of the
troops are distressed by the cold wealth
er and in no mood to face the Bulgarian
onslaughts.

Playing the Game.

Governor Stubs of Kansas and
Governor Glasscock OF West Virginia
called upon Colonel Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay. Coming from the con-
ference each declares Roosevelt is
not a candidate and will not be a
candidate. but will be nominated and
elected.
Governor Stubs adds that the
only circumstance that would induce
the colonel to accept is a spontan-
eous demand from the people that he
is the only man in the land who can
solve the great problems of the
hour.
Meantime. despite his statement
that he is not candidate, IL is
worthy OF note that the members of
his old tennis cabinet and all his old
time friends are busily engaged in
urging the people to arise spontan-
eously"
Why does not Colonel Roosevelt
cease playing politics in the shadows
and come out and state he is seeking
the nomination?
That would be the simple truth.

Honor and "Obey."

DR.. Parkhurst, writing for the St
Louis Star, has taken up the cudgels
against women who object to the word
obey" in the marriage service. He
says IT has always been so, that man
has been the head Of the family, and
always will be, in spite of the many
examples to the contrary that must
have been forced upon his attention
during his long and busy life.
He admits that a certain amount Of
difference by the husband and wife to
each others desires is necessary to do
nestle happiness. but when it comes
to putting the foot down IL must be
He says it is an evidence of a grow
ing general contempt for authority,
and quotes an alleged expression Of a
president of a woman's political union,
that '"it is wicked for children to be
required to obey unless some very
good reason is given for it" Here, he
says, is absolute anarchy. He de-
clares that parental authority must be
asserted without reason, simply be-
cause It is authority, because 1t is good
for every human being to learn to sub
NIT his will to superior will"
He says that 1t Is for the parent to
say to the child, do so-and-so, for it
is best that you should. You may not
know enough to realize that 1t is best
but 1t is, and, therefore, go and do it. -
But is not this giving that very good
reason" the lady asserts should exist
When the parent gives to the child Sc
good a reason as that, it is certainly
not wicked" to require the child to
obey, and the lady president doubtless
never intended to say it was.
In editorial comment, the st. Louis
Star argues that what she really in
| tended to say was that the itful, pas
sionate, unreasonable and often harm
full commands Of incompetent anC
angry parents were wicked, and in tina
she holds to the theory better thar
does DR.. Parkhurst in his support o
the absolute right of parents.
The unrestrained exercise of arbi
trary authority over children by in
competent parents is responsible 70
much of the crime, the ignorance ant
the brutality of the world.
Women will probably, with few e1
ceptions. continue to promise to obey
with the mental reservation that the,
will not unless they want to, and PAL
ents will continue to demand and en-
force obedience of children To thei
whims and even their wicked com
mands, but DR.. Parkhurst will hav
difficulty in convincing the intelligence
OF the present generation that such
state Of affairs is sacred or by divin
authority, even with the support of tn
archbishop Of Canterbury's recent die
tum, that the marriage ceremony, witt
out the promise to obey in 1t, is lie
gal"

New Light on Divorce.

The divorce evil Is a sign not Of
decadence but of transition, the cost
OF progress, paid in the emergence of
a more stable social ORDER says Pro-
lessor Francis G. Peabody OF Harvard.
1T Is a sign of transition because it
is q symptom rather than a disease.
This symptom is caused primarily by
the social disease Of restlessness. the
excitation Of the nerves of motion, the
condition which may be described as
Americanitis.
This disease in family life takes
the form Of rebellion. migratoriness
and change. The family is not an &C
cident OF modern life, or a contract
between the two parties concerned,
but an institution OF society. the unit
OF civilization, the type which has sur
viyed in the process OF social evolu-
ton. Thus the break up Of the family
system means what the naturalists
call a reversion OF type to conditions
OF primitive civilization from which
the human race has slowly and la
boriously emerged"
Professor Peabody says divorce is
increasing at a rate three times
faster than population is increasing.

Elope to Escape RidleuIe.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Fred Adams, a
well-to-do farmer, and Hattie Nc
Gill, both of Gardner, ILL.,, obtained a
license to wed in Chicago after hav-
ing eloped from their home town.
Mr.. Adams and his bride-to-be eloped
because they could not stand ridicule
at the hands of their friends. Those
people were kidding us too much, -
said Mr.. Adams. Miss McGill was
formerly a school teacher at Odell,
Ill. Last spring she and her father,
who is a civil war veteran, moved to
Gardner and rented a farm across
the road from that owned and oper-
ated by Adams. Adams soon offered
his heart and hand, together with a
farm of 240 acres and hundreds Of
head OF fancy stock, TO the former
school teacher. Neighbors noticed
frequent trips made across the road
by Adams and a great deal of good
natured chatting resulted. Adams and
Miss McGill then decided to elope.

Better be careful about the kind
of editorials you read after this,
cautioned the other.
SHE WAS IN A HURRY.
A certain progressive young per-
son believes that Homework could be
made much easier if women would
only avail themselves of the various
labor-saving and time saving modern
inventions. Therefore, whenever she
is down town and finds something
new along that line, she buys 1t and
takes it home.
In this way she acquired, not long
ago, patent nutmeg crater. 1t was
some sort of thing where you put
the nutmeg in and turn crank and
presto, your nutmeg is grated with
out danger of skin scraping at the
same time.

allowed that it might work all right.
l felt quite proud of having added
another time saver to our kitchen
equipment.
Sunday l was helping mother get
dinner and was watching her make
the dessert. Suddenly it dawned on
me that she was grating some nut
meg on the apples in the same old
way with the same old crater.

Clothes" said young matron with
humorous twinkle in her eye.
Now, there's my husband--ever
since I've known him he's made fun
of women's clothes. He's ridiculed
and he's criticised and I've been ex-
pected to take it in good part. But
the other day l saw an article which
ridiculed mems clothes just about as
much as the usual man ridicules ours
and l told my husband to read it. 1t
was very sensible article, thought
and every bit of it true. 1t seemed
quite right that somebody should tell
the truth about mems foolishness in

hearing about our Stiffness.

boycott on 80 cent butter. This pre-
sents an interesting phase Of economic
conditions which govern prices of
commodities. 1t would be well IL con-
sumers throughout the nation could
be awakened to a sense Of their re-
sponsibility for exhorbitant prices.
The blame does not primarily rest up
on the consumer, but the middlemen,
who corner the supply and manipulate
prices at will.
Just whether such q movement as
that started in New York by the
Housewives league can accomplish
anything depends entirely upon the
spirit of cooperation among consum-
ers generally. The present exorbitant
price Of butter Is due, so we are told,
to the fact that the storage house
men, who put away a much smaller
quantity than usual last spring, are
now in a position to collect higher
price and larger profit.
And right here is where the cooper
alive plan can get in its good work.
Those who have manipulated prices
believe that the demand is incapable
OF suspension and that their specula-
ton in butter and in some other pro-
visions Is sure to bring great profits.
But II the consuming public could be
brought to a realization Of its power
and this cooperative plan as suggest
ed in New York carried far enough,
butter prices would go tumbling to a
reasonable figure for which all We
consumers would be duly thankful.
But who is the first TO take the mi.
tiative, in this locality, for instance?
Such an organized effort seems abso-
lutely impractical, but the theory is
sound.
Meanwhile we will continue to pay
the exorbitant prices.
