The impossible War.

David Starr Jordan, nj. D., Phi D.,
LIZ d., in The New York Independent:
What shall we say Of the great war
of Europe, ever threatening, ever i'm
pending and which never comes? We
shall say that it will never come. HUI
manly speaking. it is impossible.
Not in the physical sense, of course,
for with weak reckless and goddess
men nothing evil is impossible. It
may be, of course, that some half
minister of state WILL half unknow-
ingly, give the signal for Europe's
, con1agration. In fact, the agreed sig
nal has been given more than once
within the last few months. The tin
der is we'll dried and laid in such a
way as to make the worst of this ca
tastrophe All Europe cherishes is
ready for the burning. Yet Europe re-
coils and will recoil, even in the dread
stress of spoil lewiston of the Balkan

Behind the sturdy forms of the Bull

Austria, careless of their neighbors,
careless of obligations, find in this

Europe in their degree are bound to
Neither Russia nor Austria can be
trusted to keep the peace even in its
own interest, for both, through debt
abroad and discomfort at home, are
in a condition of perpetual crisis.
But accident aside, with the triple
entente lined UP against the triple al
lance, We shall expect no war. Some
glimpses of the reasons why appear
daily in the press, We read that Ger

vain to obtain short loans in New

| that great bankers refuse absolutely

turned there to hold his reception after
the ceremony. His procession had no
occasion to make detour into Penn
sylVania avenue.
The horseback myth seems to have
originated with John Davis, an Eng
lish traveller, who was not present at
the ceremony, but who, in book OF
travels, wrote vivid account of it as
if he had been. Jefferson was fond of
riding and, like Roosevelt, rode much
as president. The roads of primitive
Washington were bad, and though he
used a carriage and pair on occasion,
the most convenient way to get from
the White House to the capitol was
on horseback, and, while president,
Jefferson frequently on his rides would
dismount at the capitol, leave his
horse at the shed provided for con-
gresham, who also found horseback
better than wheels in Washington
quagmires, and consult with his
friends in the capitol. That habit was
probably the suggestion out OF which
Davis fabricated his tale of the in
auguration.

FARM TOPICS
HAVE RRoADENED.

Christian Science: II is farmers
week at the University of Maine. Why
q week? Are there topics enough to
| be discussed about farm affairs TO
warrant a tarrying, day after day. at
Orono? Only person unfamiliar
with the life Of the farm would raise
these questions. There is a new
problem every day, a new difficulty,
and 1t is this infinite variety, perhaps,
that holds men to the farm at all.
Tedium is relieved and mOnotony dis
PEELED by the daily arrival of unsolved
problems. It is only a person like this
that time can be spared to take the
accumulated eni2mas to some clearing
house of discussion and get them
under expert examination. Familiarity
with these facts does not, however,
fully prepare one for the programmes
| that are made up Tor this manner Of
meeting.
It is. good index of the progress of
expert farming, and full Of promise
that eXpertness will work out to profit,
| that the range of a weeks discussion
| by the farmers goes over fields that
were altogether undiscovered until
| within a few years. Even so, the pro-
gramme makes no departure into
what speakers before farmers, on
stock subjects having nothing to do
| topics. Socialism has kinship to the
! hay crop, let the socialist lecturer say
| it. The Panama canal has one end
| at the farmyard gate, If the man just
returned and ready to talk is to be
| believed. None of these for the Maine
| week! 1t is agricultural and only so,
yet it has to be divided into sections
so that several lines of discussion
! may unreel at one time.
hat iss nft r1p II, 40
programme of the week is that it in
cludes topics that would have had no
| place in farm gathering of years
| ago. It at least indicates the extent
| of farm specialization that such a
matter as seed Improvement Is good
| for an entire day and that there is a
state seed Improvement association.
| That is long way from saving the
best ears of corn at husking time,
which was about the limit of seed
selection in former days. Animal
! industry is too much for one day and
| Is divided into several round tables,
and all the wisdom of the old time

within its limits, would be exhausted
! in discussion before dinner time.
Another day finds ample occupation
in the discussion of the farmer and
the community, theme that has ex-
| panded since II was discussed around
the store waiting for the night mail
to be opened. And there. are fruit
interests, with fine subdivisions. and
poultry interests, as If the last thing
on poultry had not been spoken, and
1 much else.
Farming in New England is said
to be in transition. 1t seems more ex-
actly to be in revolution. Such an
assembly of the farmers of state
as this one in Maine is but one wit
ness to the determination to apply all
the wisdom that skilled investigation
can supply to the task OF making tht
farms source of profit if not indeed
of riches. In the ways in which the
aid of legislatures has to be relied
upon, the situation forbids niggard.

WILBUR WRIGHT's WILL.

Ons of the clauses in Wilbur
Wright's will shows that, although MIR.
Wright's father is still living, he did
nevertheless provide his children
something more valuable than money
and something which he did not have
to die to give them. Wilbur Wright
left an expression of gratitude for this
heritage. The clause in the will of the
inventor reads as follows:
II hereby give my father, Milton
Wright, my earnest thanks for his ex-
ample of courageous, upright life."
He does not thank his father for
money or help, not even for his teach
ing or preaching, but for his example
Of a courageous, upright life"
The Wright brothers themselves
have shed stronger light on the
value OF character as a possession
ana as bequest. They were quiet
enterprising and persistent in the face
Of difficuIties and ircredulity. They

Great Kidney Remedy Saved Ills Life

About nine years ago, I had given

and liver trouble. l took treatments
from several very good physicians and
each one after treating me for some

l decided that l would have to give
up myself. Finally, ! received a
sample of the we'll known DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, which I decided to try
as a last hope. Even the sample
started to make me improve and not
ing this Improvement, I kept taking
Swamp Root regularly and after be-
ing down to the weight of 115 pounds
and having very yellowish complex

am now in very fine condition, my
weight being 170 pounds and complex

THE HORSEBACK MYTH.
And Some Other Errors Regarding
Jefferson's inauguration.

New York Tribune: No democratic
Inauguration would be complete with
out return to ''Jeffersonian
simplicity But we hope that in their
search for precedents the friends of
so eminent an historian as Governor
Wilson will not make his inaugura-
tion the occasion for spreading abroad
false notions of history. Here we find
Thomas Nelson Page widely quoted
as saying: #..t
president Jefferson's act of riding
UP Pennsylvania avenue on horseback
has been derided but the people who
have studied history have realized that
he did ii in digniffed manner, and
that his inauguration had at least as
much real dignity and true simplicity
as that of any president"
Most persons who have studied his
| tory have realized that whatever SIM
pie dignity Jefferson displayed at his
| inaugura tion--and the ceremony was
digniffed-he did not display it by rid
| ing horseback up Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Jefferson was not living at the
| White House and had no occasion to
| traverse PennsylyaIlia avenue either
on horseback or in a carriage. He did
not move into the White House, which

DULUTH THE OUTLET.

Duluth has started a publicity
campaign for the purpose Of getting
the northwest fully awake to the i'm
portance Of that city as the natural
outlet for the crops of this section
Of the great breadbasket OF the world
that must be received from the world
at large. Fargo and North Dakota
should be interested in this campaign
If for no other reason than that it
helps to build up strong competing
market for the crops of the Aickertail
state.
Were 1t not for Duluth the twin
cities would dominate this section Of
the world absolutely. There is much
complaint now from farmers and
other shippers that they have to bow
TO the will Of the twin city markets,
but were it not for Duluth, with its
ever growing competition the yoke
would be even heavier.
Farog is almost directly west OF
Duluth and from a glance at the map,
any person not familiar with the
market conditions of the northwest
would suppose that the natural way
for the grain crop to get to the world
would be through the port at the head
of the lakes. Some day there will be
direct railroad line from Fargo to
the zenith city and the bulk of the
crops of the state will take this
natural outlet. The sooner that day
comes the better for Fargo and North
Dakota and for that reason the people
of this city should be keenly interested
in the building up of Duluth.

NOBODY ELsE's BUSINESS.

The president is being roundly criti-
cised in many quarters since the an
nouncement that no liquor would be
served at the White House. The st,
Paul Dispatch has the following very
true comment:
The announcement that President
Wilson would not serve wines in the
White House has stirred up consider
able comment that is not wisely ex-
pressed. Especially, il seems. has his
action come in for criticism in Eng
land, The London Standard warning
the president to beware lest he gain
the fatal reputation of crank"
All such talk is absolutely unfound-
ed and ill-advised. Quite apart from
the merits Of the question Of temper
ance, President Wilson will be and
should be accorded the right to do
what he pleases in the White House.
The White House is the presidents
home. Whatever domestic arrange
ments are made therein do not concern
the public. The wishes of the Wilson
family should not only be paramount
as to what the home bill of fare should
be, but should be beyond comment and
criticism President Wilson and his
family prefer not to drink wines at
their table 1t is nobody's business
but their own.
1t seems also that the Bryans and
most of the other cabinet families feel
the same way. Therefore the Wilson's
can see no need of putting aside their
own personal wishes, when these
wishes also coincide with the wishes
of the official family as we'll as of the
personal family.
The American people, whatever they
believe on the question of temperance,

his family the right to follow their own
desires in running their own house,
and that is just what the White House

Some time ago the neighbors had a

strength OF character and resource

GUS and upright. And for these quail
tiles, or rather for as early example
OF them in their lives, Wilbur Wright
in his viii leaves an expression Of
gratitude to his venerable father.
1t is a bequest any father might we'll

be equally proud and happy to receive
