thrown to Hubbard, democrat running

majority Of the citizens What we
should clearly understand and conscl-
entiously preserve is the line of de-
markation between private and public
social service. In a representative de-
mocracy, that line of demarkation
may be charted in this language: II is
the right and duty of the sta-e TO pro-
vide for the care and treatment of all
her unfortunate children who cannot
provide for themselves. Uninten ion

impulses OF mankind are lowering the

SAY ADRIANOPLE
WILL SOON FALL

London. Jan. 9.-Dr Danetf, Bulgar.
ian plenipotentiary, today received a
cipher message from the Bulgarian
capital representing conditions at Ad-
rianople as appalling and the fall OF
the city as imminent.
The capi.ulation of the Adrianople
fortress will, in the opinion of the
Balkan pIenipoteRtiaries, take place
within b few days. either directly to
the besieging forces or through Euro
pean pressure.
Pending some fresh development,
the Balkan delegates are keeping in
closest touch with the ambassadors,
because they are aware that some of
the questions they have most at heart
depend almost entirely on the will OF
tie powers.
Meanwhile the ambassadorial con
ference is doing little. hoping that the
Adrianople difficulty will solve itself
in some manner, and thus make inter
ference by the powers unnecessary
Moreover the action of the ambassa
doris is hampered by the previous
agreement that they must be unani
nous in any decision requiring inter
vention.
Should the fall of Adrianople still
be delayed, now that the conference is
suspended. it might become impera
tive for Europe to intervene; other
