THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

For weeks 4 rumor has been cur

Imperial Diet will be convened,
further strengthening Of tho army will
be proposed by the government y
this bat OF news has been credited
in the papers OF all parties without
being called in question by the semi

granted that there is certain

question cannot De answered yet

We cannot doubt the inclination Of
the French to seize any opportunity
Tor taking advantage for their crush
ing defeat of 1870 and 1871 has CON
siderabiy grown during the last few
months. Nor must We overlook two
additional moments for their present
warlike spirit. firstly the preparation
for cnlisting ColOred recruits from
their African colonies and secondly
the uncontroverted revelations OF
Captain Faber. that England is pre-
pared To- help the French in case OF
. war with Germany not only with
her fleet. but also with Il cousiderab bic

the increase of the German army Will

cOmPLExITY OF THE SIMPLE

That even Battle Creek cannot save

she pared apples, but in her secret
heart she knows that either Plato or

point of view is il simpler TO have n
maid of all work than to indulge
ones self in liveried lackey's? Not
obviously, for the mistress. and it
surely simpler To be an adequate Sc
cond footman than to be an ADEQUATE
bonne-atout-faire. We should really
simplify life by having more servants

cient methods through which the Prophet
of Medina promulgated his faith in It's

Nothing could be more offensive 10
these men than to have an anti-Moslem
power forcibly seize and take from the
Caliph of Islam a vast region which
has been Mahometan since the days
of the Prophet and which was the

that the Protestant churches, at any rate,
are too "solemncholy," too stiff, staid and
prosy, too much of a preparing -for-death
atmosphere to attract and interest!
Young men, even middle aged men, arc
BOYS grown up and are still full Of life,
spirit. play and light heartedness. They
are occupied mainly by thoughts and feel-
ings Of enjoying life rather than those OF
preparing for death and the leading OF
gloomy life meantime. Have Protestant
denominations considered as 70 whether
the difficulty may not be In the fact that
they arc taking religion too seriously:
Must one be everastingly serious and sor-
rowful to be religlous? Why should the
pastor necessarily always show such
woebegone look?
The religion Of Christ should give us all
happy, joyous, sprightly demeanor ana
presence. Protestants especially make the
Sabbath day one of stiffness, sadness ana
gloom, a day to be dreaded instead Of one
TO look forward to with pleasure. There
is too much sloofness with the ministers;
they should keep in closer touch with
young men growing into manhood. They
should net repel these young men by keep
ing up too much OF ministerial front tow
ard them; they shoGd aim to attract and
interest and draw these young men to
them and interest them in their work by
frank personal Gather than pulpit APP
peals to each and every one of them for
co cooperative work in the church Some
one has written that Protestants begin at
sundown OH Saturday 20 get ready for
Sunday by blacking their shoes and be-
ginning the assumption Of certain stiff
ness, a sad, solemn countenance, stern
air OF disapprova.
The Roman Catholics handle this matter
better; If communicates attend 10 their
Sunday morning devotions they are AL
lowed, as we understand IT, to treat the
remainder Of the day as a holiday that
may be devoted to light heartedness and
even innocent sports. II they are so dis
posed. Young people appreciate this spirit

Of this become Catholics, but remain nom-

churchman, and has to say that the best
and only sermon that he remembers dis
tincly after fifty years was that by a
visiting bishop II was TO young people;
he did not even open the Bible. His text
was "The Building Up Of Character"
After fifty years the personality of tho
bishop and force Of that sermon remain
with me. There is no religion in mere
belief in any OF the many different re-
liGions. Character building IS the one I'm
portant thing, for no matter what one be-
lievcs or what his faith. what IS any man
or woman without character?

can be no doubt that they have thus
supplied temptation and facility Tor the
making Of many marriages Whlch on
grounds Of morals and decency ought
never 10 have occurred, and would not
have occurred If such easy and surrep-
titious means had not been provided.
II is to be considered, however, that
the practice of investing local CIVIL
magistrates with the power or perform
ING marriage ceremonies is about as OLD
and as widespread AS the institution Oh
civil marriage itself. and is. moreover,
of such great convenience as 10 De al
most indispensable. 1t is practically
necessary that there shall be In each
community some person legally compe-
tent IN perform this function, whose SER

THICK-HEADED.

If the Democratic majority IN the
House Of Representatives were at all
sensitive to impeachments of their com
mon sense or capacity to legislate with
intelligent regard for the needs Of the
nation they would vince under the pro-
test which Secretary Meyer has made
against their decision to authorize no new
battleships at this session. Practically
without discussion the Democratic caucus
voted to interrupt building programme
in force for many years, which bad
barely sufficed to maintain this country's
status as a naval power. Indeed, under
that programme Germany was about to
displace the United States as the nation
second In rank TO Great Britain, since
Germany authorized for 1911'12 three
Dreadnoughts and one armored cruiser,
while the United States authorized only
two Dreadnoughts. German construction
will continue at the 1911-'12 rate for two
or. three years, and if the House of Rep
resentatives persists in refusing any
Dreadnoughts at this session or next our
naval power will soon sink materially
below Germany's.
The United States, as Secretary Meyer
shows, has every reason for maintaining
relatively large navy. 1t has an enOr-
nous coast line and various oversea de-
tendencies subject to attack. II has un-
dertaken to operate the Panama Canal,
and by the obligations Of the Monroe
Doctrine is required to be ready to face
the possibility Of European aggression in
Central and South America. 1t has i'm
portant interests to look after in the Far
East. In any war in which the United
States may become involved the navy
must be its chief offensive and defensive
reliance, and il is self-evident that pru-
dent national policy suggests the main
tenace of an ample navy. It would be
better to err on the side Of too liberal
construction than on the side OF penny
wise economy.
1t is characteristic of Democratic mar
rowness that many Of the Representa-
fives who want to see the construction OF
battleships suspended are most obstinate
in obstructing the Navy Departments
policy Of closing super1uous navy yards
and naval stations. They raise the cry
Of sectionalism when it is suggested that
the useless Gulf yards be abandoned, and
seem to think that distribution Of local
benefits through the maintenance OF shore
stations is Of far moro consequence than
the. heightened efficiency Of the naval
establishment as whole. To the intelli,
