THEY MOVE VERY SLOWLY.

Reactionaries are unduly afraid OF
the passing whims'' of the people
They appear to think the people are
easily moved to hasty action and sc
cannot be trusted
There is no danger on this score
The people are not hasty enough
The people as whole are excessive
ly slow and temperate minded. They
tolerate injustices much longer than
they should.
History is full of illustrations
showing that the greatest obstacle to
progress has always been the indif-
ference of those who would be most
benefited by reform. People are too
prone to be content and to let well
enough alone. They are very patient
and will seldom revolt no matter how
badly they may be used
When the mob does rise it is not
because it has been given power but
because power has been too long de-
MED. 1t is when the natural outlets
are all closed that the volcano breaks
forth. There would have been no
French revolution if the peasantry
could have advanced gradually.
In America there is now great pro-
test against the control of affairs by
the aristocracy of wealth. There has
been too much for the rich and not
enough for the poor. At Lawrence
the rich people who have not worked
hard have reaped profits by the mil
lions. Poor people who have worked
hard all the while get wages rang
ing from Sc to SO per week.-mrs.
upon which white people cannot live
in decency 1t won't suffice any
longer TO tell the people to work hard
and to be frugal. The mill owners
need that advice worse than do the
workers.

because certain forces of wealth have
co-operated with the politicians to
prevent a proper and gradual ad-
justment Of affairs. The people have
lost confidence in professional or
practical politicians and they are turn
ing for support 10 the initiative and
referendum, the direct primary and
the recall Since the politicians wont
do what they should the people are
going to act for themselves.
1t is very natural the people should
take this course and those are unwise
who oppose the move. They are OBJ

DREAM OF A "HOLY WAR"

The world may as we'll accept as
| the principal issue of 1.-The great game
! that centers about Constantinople, the
| fact that the war begun twelve hum
dred years ago by the dusky Arabian
! camel-driver is still on. This Tur-
co-Italian scrape is only one little
skirmish in it. Mohammed failed to
make any progress with his creed un-
! til he put the sword into the hands
Of his followers and bad them smite.
Swift and certain paradise was to be
| the reward of all who should fall in
fighting the unbelievers. The surest
way to win the caresses of the houris
of his sensually-conceiyed heaven
was to slay all who did not accept the
Prophet In that faith Islam made its
first and greatest conquests. That
faith the faithful still hold. They
keep their hand in by occasional mas
sacres of Christians, and meantime
dream of the possibilities of "holy
war" which shall 0once more make
Islam master of the whole earth. The
Pan-Islamic movement, which is a no.
table fact in the world today, is as
turly a political maneuver as it is a
religious propaganda.
All over the world the followers
Of the Prophet hail the Sultan of Tur
key as Calph, as Commander of the
Faithful, as the shadow of God upon
earth, and as the successor of Mo-
manned himself. This one fact alone
accounts for the continuance of the
Turkish Empire. The beholder is
utterly blind to the meaning of the

he perceives this first factor The
wild and warlike and ultra orthodox
Wahabis of the Nejd are kept in al

enervated Turks only by the Is!amic
tie; the fierce Kurds of the mountains
of Asia Minor are brothers to the

pirates Valley only for the same rea-
son; the Bedouins of the Bejaz make
common cause with the mysterious
Senussi, who have been accumulat-
ing great stores of arms in the hinter-
land of Tripoli, and latterly in the
Sudan, simply by reason of their one
creed. Egyptian, Persian, Indian,

Pair of Names.-A young man

A Pair Of Names.-A young man,
accompanied by a bashful young wo-
man, walked into the office of the
marriage license bureau in Brooklyn
yesterday. The urban clerk, who prides
himself on being a real help to Cupid,
reached for the book of application
blanks and began to smile.
80 you want to get married, do
you?" he said This is the time Of
year everybody is doing it," and he
laughed again at his joke. What is
your name?" this to the man.
There was a noise that sounded like
a cross between a wheeZe and a
sneeze
Pretty early for hay fever, but that
is the way 1t affects some persons"
said the clerk What did you say
the name is?"
The wheeling. sneezing noise was
repeated.
Name is rather peculiar" said the
clerk. IN fact, l never heard it before.
What is the young woman's name?"
The noise this time was more like
a gurgle, and the clerk signalled for
help. Four other clerks responded,
and they listened to the sneezing and
the gurgling until the young couple
began to get embarrassed. Finally
some one suggested that an interpre-
ter was needed. and one from the
court house across the street was
summoned. He did not attempt to
pronounce the names, but took pen
Gil and wrote them down. That mans
name was Baltram Szyrmgzdinis, and
bis bride to-be was Ona Bendaravi-
sitite. With the help of the interpre-
ter the license was issued.-New York
Herald.

Who Pays the Freight?

While it Is a fact that there are doz-
ems of legal reserve or "old line" life
insurance companies doing business
in America today that are as safe as
the United States government when 1t
comes to meeting their obligations,
and not one of them has ever failed to
meet an honest obligation, 1t Is also
a fact that not one of them issues
contracts that are as liberal as those
of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company-guarantees as many privI-
leqes. 1t is a fact also that no priv
ilege of any recognized value embrac-
ed in the contract of any Of the old,
established companies Is not embrac-
ed in those Of the Mutual Benefit, and
1t Is also a fact that the Mutual Ben
eft contracts embrace a number Of
Valuable Features that no other COM
pany offers. No company has a reputa-
ton equal to that Of the Mutual Bene-
fit Of giving each individual member
square deal regardless of whether or
not he knows his rights. 1t has never
had to be forced to give square deal
by recourse to law, but has always,
during the 81 years Of its existence,
done so voluntarily. In view of the
fact that the policy holder pays the
freight it is a duty he owes himself to
buy the best, and he cannot get 1t eX-
cept from the Mutual Benefit. A care
full investigation will convince the
most skeptical.
Look before you leap.

TOP DRESSER

The best authority on farming has
this to say of Top Dresser: "The grow
ing plants take up from the soil the
manure put in as first application
long before it is ready to fruit. This Is
true Of cotton as well as corn. From
the fine results / have obtained / be-
lieve that the method of additional fer
tiliZing is the right one. You use this
additional fertilizer at a critical time
in the life of the plant, the time when
the plant needs all the strength 1t can
get in order to fruit perfectly and
hence such additional fertilization is
absolutely necessary to get best re-
suits"
We sell Catawba Fertilizer Co.'S Top
Dresser-which has the ammoniates
exactly right. Not all Soda but a plant
food that feeds the plant when it needs
the food. This Top Dresser is said to
