Rafting the Kaiser's Sword" ="

4 dark cloud has been hanging for
some time over the Triple Alliance,
and anxiety is shown in well-informed
quarters about the development OF dis
sensions between Austria and Germany,
and 10 some eNtent. Italy. The origin
OF these differences is characterized by
the utterance of the German Emperor
who is alleged to have said. Il do not
like Austria to rattle with my sword"
Whether this is true or not, the fact
is that the recent course Of Austrian
policy, and particularly her campaign
for the revision of the Bucharest treaty.
was taken without German approval.
The Kaisers congratulatory telegram

been shown to have sided with Servia
and Greece, and his making his
brothcr-in-law. the Greek King Con-
stan;ine. field marshal of the Ger
man army. were visible expressions Of
the new direction which German policy
was taking in the Balkan question. All
OF this is causing great uneasiness
at Vienna Foreign Minister Count
Berchtolds policy finds little apprecia-
tion in Berlin. and his position has be-
come precarious Negotiations have
been begun between Roumania and the
Balkan allies with the view of forming
a customs, commercial. postal. and tel
egraph union, to which even Bulgaria
has been admitted.

The Censor and the English Stage.

The production in a London thea
ter of a dramatization of the Bible
story of Joseph and His Brethren"
is an important event in the history
of the British stage. 1t is fully 400
years since a play dealing solely with
Scriptural episode has been permit
ted to be put on any English stage,
and Sir Herbert Tree, who fought
and won his fight with the British
Censor's Office. is to be congratulated
upon his signal victory on behalf of
literature and drama
There are still some persons in
NEngland who are "horrifed' at such
"sacrilegious' proceeding, but most
Englishmen are supporting the inno-
vation and the lifting of the censor's
ban in this respect. Still there is a
string tied to the hard-fought-for
permission 1t is to be a test case,
and future liberty in this respect will
depend on the manner of the presen-
ta,ion of the historical drama.
We believe that in Sir Herbert's
hands the outcome is safe and that
neither the official censor nor the pub
lie will have cause for complaint. We
are glad to record this relaxation OF
stage censorship by our cousins abroad.
Literature has fourished and advanced
in a marked degree without any such
guardian in old England, and there is
no reason why the stage should not.
In fact, we are quite sure that this
stage freedom will have an excellent
result
Public opinion. to our mind, ought
20 be all the censorship needed to
remind dramatists and actors-and OF
course the management-of the high
traditions which they have to live up
to. and OF the enormous power for
good that is given into their hands.
Let us hope. for the sake OF all fair
minded Englishmen, that the censor's
initiatorv action will be the forerun-
ner OF more generous and more lib
eral views and decisions in the future

One never feels quite certain whether
The lives that Cupid knits together
Will stand the wear and tear of travel,
Or whether they will soon unraveL

Perhaps it is the part Of kindness
To place the blame upon his blindness.

II they came with the usual accessories

an imported husband is accompanied by

Luncheon Rendered
 "Governor"@ E utle4l
Retiring Acting Chief Executive k HOnOred by Little Rock Friends
 .-Goy. Hays Present.

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-The Chamber of Commerce at noon Thursday gave a merchants luncheon in honor of Senator Jules Marion Futrell, the re- tiring Acting Governor of Arkansas, in the banquet hall of the Hotel Mar ion, which was attended by 85 of the leading citizens of Little Rock.
 The luncheon was testimonial of the esteem in which Senator Futrei, is held by the business men of Little Rock. It was attended by manufac- turers, wholesalers, bankers, doctors and lawyers, with Max Heiman, one of the leading merchants of the city acting as toastmaster. Mayor Charles F.. Taylor, an ardent admirer of the retiring state official, delivered a very touching tribute to the business administration of the State Senator. Gov. Geo. w. Hays also spoke about the service Acting Governor Futrell rendered the state.
 The expression, generally, was of regret that Senator Futrell, after such successful business adminis- tration had to retire. In making his response, Senator Futrell stated he expected Gov. Hays to exceed what ever good record he might have made during his tenure of office, and that he could not share the regret of the business men that the time had come for him (FutrelD to retire.
 Senator Futrell was notified of the intention of the Chamber of Com- merce late Wednesday afternoon, when he was about to leave for home and thus the little surprise party, which had planned a celebration to mark the homecoming of Senator Flu trell to Paragould, will have to delay it's merry making for one day.
