ureme value, and the access OF those
insured seers to the heart OF the uni
verse was profound. But the camp
followers. the scribes and phar1sees. ny
whatever name they may be called
had no such insight, only a vicious OF
a foolish obstinacy; and the prophets
of a new era were stoned.
Now at last we of the new era have
been victorious; we inherit the fruits
of the age-long conflict, and the stones
are in our hands. Let us not fall into
the old mistake Of thinking that ours
is the only way Of exploring the multi
farious depths Of the universe, and
that all others are worthless and mis-
taken. The universe is a larger thing
than we have any conception OF, and
no one method of search will exhaust
its treasures.
Men and brethren, We are trustees
Of the truth Of the physical universe
as scientifically explored; let us be
faithful to our trust. Genuine religion
has its roots deep down in the heart
OF humanity and in the reality OF
things. 1t Is not surprising that by
our methods we fail 70 grasp it; the ac-
tions Of the Deity make no appeal to
any special sense. only universal APP
peal; and our methods are, as we know
incompetent TO detect complete uni
formity. There is a Principle of Rela-
tivity here, and unless we encounter
flaw or jar or change nothing In us re-

Araument Aaainst Militarism.

Lincoln, Neb.. State Journal: When
all the facts are known concerning
Bulgaria's unfortunate rush to fight
her allies it will probably be found
that the trouble had its origin in the
overdevelopment of the army. The
Bulgars have for many years main
tanned such a splendid fighting ma
chine for the size of the country that
it has been the admiration Of the ex-
perts of the world. When the time
came to hit Turkey, this army proved
itself a fighting machine of marvel
Gus power and celebrity. But it appears
likely that the army felt itself so
strong and important that it would not
take orders from the civil government,
and this has apparently brought on a
great national disaster. If this turns
quito be the explanation for the sud
den fighting in Macedonia, we shall
have one more incident to .add5to our
histories showing that militarism is a
dangerous foundation for any govern
ment.

when my ankle had been sore for over a year
and much worse than ever before I sent for
some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It
would itch and burn, besides a great hurting
that I think tongue could never explain.

a MATTER FoR HARMoNY.
Country and City Should Readily
Agree Upon Utilities Measure.

G1A SaE&E-s
Faribault Republican: 1T lis being
said that the opposition of the cities To
the public utilities commission idea, as
advanced by Governor Eberhart, is
based on the old differences between
the big cities and the rest of the state.
There lis surely enough difference of
Eopinion between these two elements,
without going out of the way to make
more.
Some OF the country papers, which
are supporting Eberhart's motion, have
brought forward this argument. But
the situation here is radically differ
Lent from that in relation to railroad
tariffs, and seven senator bills. The
cities are opposing the public utilities
bill because it affects them vitality,
whether it concerns smaller units or
not. Xiii
The men in the twin cities who are
opposing the public utilities commits
sion idea, have a definite aim. and that,
is not against any part of the state. II
the commission would work we'll In the
country and not in the cities, h lat.
ter have a perfect right in their oppo-
sition, without being open to the accu-
sation that they are working against
the country. If the bill is right, it will
be right for the country and the cities,
even though it is necessary to make
different provisions for them. 1t is not
a settled question, however, that the
proposition is wanted in the country
districts. Some regulation and inspec-
ton is needed, but the home rule idea
will not be supplanted in the minds of
the people of either the small or large
cities. 49,
Directly contrary to the arguments
put forth by some Of the papers, the
public utilities commission proposition
is one on which the cities and the
country can agree with perfect har-
mony, and we should cry shame to him
who tries to stir up the menacing diff
f~erences between them.

years ago it was free of debt. Munich

five years. Ohio cities issued SAL, 000,-

sAxE.s THEORY PROVED.
Japanese Artillery Used Just a Ton
of Metal to Kill One Russian.

Japanese Artillery Used Just a Ton
Of Metal to Kill One Russian.
Boston Globe. Marshal Sake once
said that to kill a soldier took his
weight in lead. In spite Of the per-
lection of modern weapons, war mas
changed very little in some ways.
A German specialist, General Robins,
has figured out the statistics Of the
battle of Kin Tchou, which preceded
the siege of Port Arthur in the Russo
Japanese war.
The Russians had 1880 men, of
whom only 4,400 were engaged: the
Japanese numbered $4,000. The Rus
sian loss was 100 officers and 1875
men; the Japanese lost 1873 officers and
4,071 men.
The Russians fired TS6,OO rounds Of
rifle ammunition and 1880 of artillery:
the Japanese figures We're 100000
and 40.150.
Assuming that artillery causedR1
| per cent of the losses and rifle fire So
per cent, it took ISL shells, or $500
bullets to put a Russian out of action,
while a Japanese fell for every 10h
shells, or 214 bullets. Counting the
! weight of the Japanese p~rojectiles, it
took 1920 pounds of artillery ammuni-
ton to disable a Russian, or seventy
pounds of rifle bullets.
The famous old marshal was not far
wrong, after all. The changes in the
art of war have made no change in
men. And it is on the men themselves
that depends the degree of punish
ment they can stand.
If the men are brave, they will sub
NIT to considerable losses; if they are
towards, or are badly trained or lee
they will retire after sustaining slight
| losses.

The Riaht of Suicide.

London Chronicle: Berlin.-Dr. Will
helm OSWALD. the celebrated profess
sor of chemistry in the University Of
Leipzig, has published in "Das Monis-
tische Jahrhundert" a plea for the
right of dying persons to commit sui
eide.
In conjunction with Professor
Haeckel of Jena. Professor OstWaldSis
the leader of the Monist movement and
recently advocated the establishment
of Monist monasteries where members
of the Monist persuasion could retire
from the world. Professor, OSWALD
prints, with his approval, a sketch
written by a dying Monist named Ro-
land Gerkan. The main provisions OF
this law are that i~ncurables shall have
the right Of euthanasia, and that this
right shall be the subject of a petition
by a sick person to the judicial au-
thorities.
These authorities would in conse-
quence of his petition investigate the
case by means of three physicians. two
of them specialists. This investigation
week after the receipt of the petition,
and the commission of physicians
have to decide whether death or last
ing i'll health were the more probable.
In the former case the commission
gives the sick person the right Of eu-
thanasia; in the latter case this right
is refused. Whoever painlessly kills
an incurable person who had receiv-
! ed this right is exempt from punish
ment.
/ Should euthanasia be effected with
out the express wish of the sick per
son. it is a crime punishable with
penal servitude.
The great difficulty, of coarse, il
carrying out this idea is that il
shocks our traditional notions of hu.
manity, and is opposed to the religious
and moral law of christianity. Fur.
ther, it presupposes an absolutely in
fallible commission of physicians and
the absolute ~singleness Of purpose o.
the relatives and friends of the sicl
person. Moreover, the wishes ant
ideas of hopelessly sick persons ar
often subject to alteration, and to-
day swish for euthanasia may be fol
lowed by tomorrow's wish for life.
