may may not add to her value as member of
her race; it may may not add to her efficiency
as a citizen; 1T may or may not add to her ndi-
vidual happiness. All this depends upon the spirit
and the manner in which she meets the demands
upon her and the extent to which she keeps nvo-

gentleness and conscientious self-sacrifce
But it certainly adds to her duties and bur-

CITADEL BURNING,
BULGARIANS ARE
HARD AFTER TURKS

SOFIA. oct 26.-After an al-night
bombardment of Adrianople Car Fer
dinand's Bulgarian army moved for
ward today, capturing three forts at
Marasch with 1900 prisoners
The southwestern part of the city is
burning, having been fired by the Bull
garian batteries upon the heights of
the eastern bank of the Martha river,
three and a half miles from the inner
forts defending that section of Adria-
nople.
Military aviators who made a recon-
noissance state that the mosque of the

The line of Bulgars now extends
nearly around the city. There is

so miles southeast of Adrianople and
only 80 miles from Constantinople.
Adrianople is In imminent danger of
being cut off from Constantinople
The main body of the Turkish army

The western wing of the Bulgarian

THE WINTER OF 1912.

1t is to be hoped that the roaring
lion will continue to make way for
the lamb, these later days in March.
The ground hog tradition having
failed, it is no more than right that
respect be paid this other revered
forecast as to the weather.
This has indeed been a winter.
Records for snowfall and for cold
weather have been established. Few
men can recall colder weather or so
much snow in Missouri The winter
of 1912 promises to go down in the
annals of dry goods box history as
one of the hard winters
Pessimistic predictions have gone
forth as to the condition of the fruit
buds. the effect of the spring on get
ting out corn crop. etc. The wheat
docs not seem 10 nave SuHeTeu
Doubtless, the cold winter has in
jured the fruit prospects, but the
Missouri peach and apple crops have
so often gone back on the early re-
ports that all hope is not lost.
The expense of a winter such as
we are 1--WE hope) now well over. is
difficult to estimate. 1t cost the
cities thousands of dollars to clean
their streets of snow. Railroads and
telegraph companies spent large
sums in repairing lines and opening
traffic. The loss in time and labor
caused by snow or extreme weather
adds more thousands to the total. If
a large agricultural loss is to be ad
ded to this. it has indeed been an eX-
ppnsive winter.
The truth is that we have had
open winters for so many years that
We do not appreciate the advantages
of mild climate.

THE ISStE.

People seem more interested in
persons than in policies in the pres
identiaI campaign. Indeed, it is
possible that the people may vote
for political leaders rather than for
political policies this fall.
or course. their vote will be de-
termined largely by the principles OF
the candidates. but so far as clear
cut. definite party policy is concerned
little has been said.
In most presidential campaigns
there is a distinct issue between the
two parties. This year. owing pos
sibly to the confused condition of af-
fairs within the parties themselves,
there has appeared no striking
point of disagreement. Necessarily
the tariff will be drawn into the
conflict. but the voters will decide
their party allegiance on grounds
broader than the tariff
We are passing through transi-
tion period in our political history.
Party lines are being disrupted. The
political atmosphere is filled with
dust. Just what the result will be
is hard to foretell.
Few deny that if the prOgressives
obtain control of one party and the
conservatives of the other the CAM
paign will be fought along sharp
lines. But if the prOgressives obtain
control of both parties it is difficult
to say what the issue will be, while
if the conservatives hold the upper
hand nobody knows what may hap
pen i'm the few months between the
national conventions and the NOvem-
ber elections.
