A Satisfactory Primary

The Palladium congratulates the Progress
sives upon the ticket they selected yesterday.
Composed of clean cut and true representatives
of the party, it is one that deserves and will
receive the support of all voters who wish for
o new and better regime in the municipal affairs
of Richmond.
The beauty of the Progressive primary was
that good the men who have become the
nominees, just as good were the men who were
unsuccessful in their race for the privilege of

The primary itself conducted squarely

loyal and earnest support for the ticket from
all the members of the party.

What Is the Reason?

The Kansas City Times makes very peril
nent inquiry concerning a condition which OBJ
tans in Richmond the same it does in Kansas
City. The Times says:
"Plenty of real estate owners are willing to let
their vacant lots hurt the town. But if neglect
ing lot hurt the owner of the lot there would be
very few pieces of property neglected.

it wholesome spot and pretty place to look at

that. The assessor simply does it.

owner who does not make his lot wholesome and
pretty is punished by the higher assessment"

w IHILE many observers, noting
y" the atrocities committed by
the Christian soldiers as we'll
as by the Turkish troops, prefer to
consider the Balkan war a secular
rather than a religious conflict, at
least one spectator of the struggle
does not hesitate to call it "a triumph
of the Cross" and TO reproach the
Christian nations with their failure to
recognize the fact that "all Christen-
dom has triumphed in the latest vic
tory of the small states of southeast
ern Europe over their old enemy, the
Turk" This spectator is Ben Hurst,
who discusses the religious aspect Of
the war in the Notre Dame Ave Maria

Hero Tales Not Ended

The statement has been frequently made of
late that American men are becoming effemi-
nate; that modern civilization in the United
States is sapping the good red-blooded courage
of it's people.
However, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commits
sion's reports give the lie to such pessimistic
utterances, and the bulwarks of the republic will
not be endangered so long as the race breeds
such men as Col. Astor, Major Butts and their
other fellow countrymen aboard the Titanic and
the modest little newsboy hero of Gary who
coolly sacrificed crippled leg and his life to save
from death an injured girl, and gallant Lieuten-
ant D. P. Morrison of the navy.
"Who is Morrson?" you ask.
A brief, formal report on file in the navy de-
partment describes him as an engineering officer
who met his death in the explosion of boiler on
the u. S. torpedo boat destroyer, Wake.
But there is big, human-interest story
about the way Morrison went to his death and of
the heroism of the Wakes crew. which all
Americans should know.
One day, a few weeks ago, while the Wake
was off Newport there was sudden roar below
decks, the hiss of escaping steam and agonized
screams for a time. Of course everyone above
decks knew what it meant-that the engine
room was white-hot inferno, and that the men
down there were scaded within and without for
every breath scared their lungs like red hot
poker. A sailor named Doyle was first to the
hatch which he opened to let himself down
Others sliced him and he began to fight. Let
me go. Morrsons down there. He pulled me
out of the water and saved my life, and I am
going to save him. he yelled as he fought. But
they pulled him back and held him.
One man placed his arm over the seething pit
and drew it back with a cry of agony. Then up
the ladder one at a time, crept five men, their
flesh parboiled. Get Morrison. He is nearest
to the ladder and he stood aside to let US up
first" gasped each man before sinking into
merciful unconsciousness
Finally two men got below and stumbled over
the PROSTATE form of oiler Frank Conway
There's Morrison over there. | must get him
out" murmured Conway and. crazed with pain
he stared for his officer. but the hand of death
stayed his progress.
Three feet from the ladder Morrison lay
crumpled up on the floor. Gently they carried
above this man who had sacrificed himself that
others might live, but his lungs were gone and
he lived only few minutes.
Can you find in the hero tales of the nation
any act of higher courage?

THE FIRST TRYST
BY JAMES 3. KENYON

Within the whispering shadows of the night,
Where the gray dunes show against the sky,
And the long roller curls its yellow foam
Above halfstrangled sands, he stands at
His heart is sick with doubt, and painfully
His ear is bent to catch the hushed, sweet noise
OF light feet fastening toward him. Sudden fears
Clutch at his throat while fancy, chilled and weak,
Plaques him with nameless pangs. There in the
dark
One big star burns like unwinking eye,
Mockng his vigil. Somewhere, far away,
\ dog bays maddenngly, and all his soul
Hangs the torture of that instant when
From the dim tower the bells first note shall boom
It's brazen signal. Hollow winds arise
Mingled of flame and frost; hope flickers low,
AS falls the breathless moment; till at last
The longawaited stroke which, ere it dies,
Shoulders into little sound of joy.
Then outstretched hands that glimmer through
the dusk,
Pale robes that futter near, happy cry
Quenched in tremulous sob-and all is well!-Munse
