REARING THE HARVEST.
By JAMES a. EDcERToN

NLA<1NO AnES nAkVESTs
In the long run we all get what Is
eoming to US.
We are paid in our own coin. We
reap a. we SOW. Our chickens come
home to roost
This is true Of nations as Of indiv-
uals.
There has been much In the public
prints concerning the horrors Of the
Balkan war. Yet these horrors are
but the bloody harvest Of long cen
turtles of oppression and cruelty.
Turkey Is reaping as she has sown.
There is poetic justice In the fact
that the little nations that have be-
come the messengers Of Justice were
formerly, with one exception, under
Turkish rule. The exception is Mon
tenegro. and she suffered much from
attempted Turkish aggression.
Thus the avengers have arisen prac-
tically from the offenders own house
hold.
The Ottoman empire sOwed the wind
and is reaping a whirlwind finish.
History Is fun of such instances.
We shudder over the reign Of ter
ror of the French revolution, but fail
to recall the years of despotism,
blotched red here and there with st.
Bartholomew massacres, Of which the
reign of terror was but the ripened
fruit.
We beheld something of the same
force Of justice at work in our own
civil war. Abraham Lincoln pointed
out the moral in his beautiful second
inaugural.
There is a law of balance at work
In the physical universe, where effect
equals cause to the uttermost fraction.
In the human world we call the cor
respondence Of this law recompense or
justice. Evidence Is not lacking that
1t works with the same precision as
cause and effect in the material uni
verse. Could we see far enough and
deep enough this would doubtless ap-
pear an absolute truth.
Whatever you sow you will reap
some time and somewhere.
Otherwise the law of balance would
not hold true, and If this law were dis
turbed even by the fraction of an
ounce the universe would 60 crashing
into chaos and ruin.
When a mans deeds come home to
him we say in the slang of the day,
HE is getting his" 1t is "his'' too.
He has earned 1t.
What are you sowing? What will
your harvest be?

Pekin, July 26.-The refusal of Rear Admiral Reginald F. Nichol- son, commander in chief of the American Asiatic fleet, to send American marines to ku Ling is generally criticised in non-militars circles here, although the German and British adniraIs are reported to agree with Admiral Nicholson.
 An American guard was at first agreed upon by British, German and American legations owing to Chinese suspicious as to the disin- tcrestedness of other nationalities.
 Ku Ling is a high mountain town near Kiu Kiang, where thousands of foreigners, mostly British and Ger man women and children, take ref uge from the summer heat and dis eases of Central China.
 The only danger at Ku Ling aris- es seemingly from outlaws and dis persed soldiers attempting to loot. The admiral has offered to escort the foreigners to the river but re- fuses to detach a small guard
