Here is one of the stories, says the
Americas Greeting, from The old mans
row in front Of the barber shop: One
man said back in Pennsylvania they
farmed the land where the hills were
so steep that when they planted pota-
toes one man had to hold them in a
furrow while another man covered
them up. When they dug them in the
fall they were simply allowed to roll
10 the bottom Of the hill before any
attempt was made to pick them up.

There is something finer than to
do right against inclination, and that
is to have an inclination to do right.
There is something nobler than re-

obedience. The rank of virtue is not
measured by its disagreeableness, but
by its sweetness 10 the heart that
loves it. The real test of character
is Joy. For what you rejoice in, that
you love. And what you love, that

the present New York trip, the
president will have travelled 114,-
40 miles, which he made in los

them covering 1907 miles, and
two visits to the Panama canal.

THE MAIN CONSIDERATIONS.

The Turks may be justified from their point
of view IN complaining that although they were
denied the spoils Of war after they had decsively
defeated the Greeks the powers OF Europe are
now apparently willing for the allies to claim
not only conquered territory. but even that which
they have not succeeded In taking but there are
other considerations than that of Turkish in
terests
Not among the least Of these is the peace OF
Europe, and ali the world. with the exception
of Turkey hopes that the fears of Islam that
they will be practically driven out Of Europe are
not groundless Turkey and the Balkans have
been sources Of trouble to Europe for centuries.
Not since the Moslem hordes over-ran South
eastern Europe has the continent been entirely
free from the over hanging clouds OF war, and
no: until their descendants are driven back into
Asia whence they came will these clouds be dis
sipated What part OF her conquests the powers
allowed Turkey TO hold after the war with
Greece in 1897 has no bearing on what part OF
the spoils they will allow the Balkan allies to
held In 1918 The interests Of Europe may or
may not have justified the action taken sixteen
years ago but the interests of Europe and the
rights of the allies viii justify the powers In
backing the allies today even to the extent OF
taking from Turkey every foot of European ter

What is the government ny injunction U
which Mr. Samuel Gompers spoke SO bitterly
Yesterday, declaring 1t to be as bad and cruei as

there is civilization or the rights OF man are

No law can forbid man from refusing to

A Chance For a Branch Railroad.

In Richmond great satisfaction Is tsting ex-
pressed with the Richmond, Fredericksburg and

orally regards the matter between the rail-
road and the State happily concluded. me
proposed compromise must yet be ratihed by the
stockholders of the company bat this VIII he
done as a matter Of course, When The matter
Ia finally wound up and the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac gets such amendments
to its charter as win place it on the same
basis with other railroads in the state We ear
nesty hope that the management Will consider
the advisability of developing the RaPpahannock
country by the construction of a branch line
from this city into that section. Under Its
present charter, which does not allow the rail
way company to build more than a few miles
OF branch line tracks possibly five miles, de-
velopment OF this section of Virginia by the
Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac was
impossible, but it will be easily possible when
the read gets n new charter. We are convinced
that the company could secure a right of way
for such branch line on either side of the
Rappahannock entirely. almost entirely, free
OF cost. because the people down the river are
intent on securing railroad facilities and will
cooperate in any plan to secure them. The mat
ter is worth the attention of this railroad COM
pany and OF the business men of this city ana
section. In our opinion there Is more chance or
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
building such road than there Is of any ne"
company doing so and the matter should later
on be taken up with the company by citizens OF
Fredericksburg and the counties along the Rap
Observation-Disclosures Star.
