their clerks not to wear mustaches dur

a strenuous struggle for existence. In

A sPRY CENTENARIAN.

We are Interested in learning that the
Roxboro district Of this city has a citi-
zen who has just had the very uncom-
mon satisfaction of celebrating his one
hundred and fourth birthday. and who
has been a labOrer on one farm for
eighty-three years. In discussing the agri-
cultural upIift Mr. Roosevelt acknOwI-
edged that the most dificult rural prob

and, OF course, he should have time to

He curries the horses. hooks UP for the

He does odd jobs. takes the cows to

Austria-Hungary Bent on war.

Never has the present generation seen al Europe
so near TO war war which, if II comes, will bring
horrors civilization scarcely dares think Of Nowhere
is it denied that danger of conflict in which all the
great powers would have part real and imminent
Austria Hungary mad for conquest of Servia, refuses
to accept compliance with her utimatum and rushes
plans for Russias interest will doubtless impel
her to sustain Seryia in which event Germany, Italy,
France, and possibly Great Britain, would be in
volved.
Alarming as the situation admittedly is, and ex-
tremely difficult of solution, it is altogether with
out hope. Tremendous influences for peace are at
work. The proposal of Sir Edward Grey Great Brit
aims able foreign secretary of conference in London
among the diplomatic representatives of Germany,
France Italy, and Great Britain, with view to media
tion, pending which it is hoped Austria Hungary,
Servia, and Russia will suspend operations, brought
favorable responses, though not immediate formal
ceptances. The fervent appeal of Pope Plus to the
aged Emperor Francis Joseph mot to stain his old
age with blood" is well calculated to stay the arms
of Austria-Hungary until diplomacy is exhausted
though the nsistence of her statesmen that the med
story powers shall conne their efforts to nsistence
upon the absolute captulation of Serva shows only
too plainly her determination to gain her ends,
matter how frightful the cost may be- But for this
uncompromisng attitude Germany's acquiescence in
Sir Edward Grey's proposal could be regarded as a
most hopeful indication. The powerful influence of
the German Emperor with that of Great Britain
would be well-nigh determining factor between war
and peace were permitted to rule; but the
stands, it is difficult to discover any basis for
appeal to Russia. Only extreme pressure brought
to bear Austria-Hungary now suggests ITSELF and
if this fails the world may prepare to witness
tragedy of magnitude defying its imagination. Its
sympathy will be with Servis, and Austria-Hungary
will not escape the blame.
If it comes to pass, what be said of our twen-
teth century civilization, the universal peace move
ments, and The Hague conferences? Only that they
prevent up to the point where nations cannot
gain their ends without going war That the United
States, standing first among the peace powers will
find opportunity to aid in the effort to avert caam-
ity which would have its effect throughout the world
cannot be hoped for Inevitably it must remain aloof
while the statecraft of Europe deals with its own
momentous problem and the world prays for, its
success.

Vale the Fire Horse,

The spirited fire horse. dashing through
the streets to the accompaniment OF
shrieking sirens and changing bells, is
soon to be a thing of the past We are
living now in a mechanical age, and as
much as we shall miss the thrill a sight
OF these stout-hearted animals in action
always gives us, il is meet that they
should give way before the inexorable
march Of the automobile. The motor
driven fire department in its two most
important features is a distinct improve
ment over the horse-equipped department
Not only in point OF efficiency does IT
Immeasurably excel. but IT Is more eco
nomical as well. Motor vehicles excl'I-
sively might well be used to advantage
in the street cleaning department also.
One motor truck probably could do the
work of four of the present one-horse
carts. and at much less cost.-New York

THE PIONEER WOMAN.

There Is to be a statute OF the pioneer
mother at the Panama-Pacifc Exposition
in San Francisco II an artist can be found
who can depict an ideal OF this SYMBOL
cal parsonage sufficiently poetical, vigor-
Gus and inspiring to satisfy the grand
children of the pioneer women. This Is
going to be a difficult job. A model of a
statute by an eastern artist lately eN-
hibited to San Francisco has aroused a
storm of protest because the figure is
6raped in an Indian blanket and re-
sembles a Comanche squaw. That surely
does not typify the pioneer mother OF
Pacific civilization. The protest Is quite
understandable We can imagine a
modern realistic treatment Of the subject
which might not be Ineffective. The
plainly dressed woman, her sunbonnet
falling backward upon her shoulders. or
hanging by the strings from one Of her
arms, standing by a tree stump and gaZ-
ing into the future with vision half
prophetic. half foreboding. might charm
by its humanity and its pathos.
But probably the women Of California
demand a more heroic treatment OF the
idea of the pioneer mother. The comoi-
nation of classic dignity with the TO-
mantle spirit may be essential A classi-
cal sculptor would not nave bothered
himself about me lrapeTy with 50 !Lrge
and synIAolical a subject to treat. But
nude or even a partly nude pioneer
mother will never suit Western America.
The printcloths and homespuns Of our
ancestors do not lend themselves to
graceful draping. The touch Of savagery
impaired by using a squaw's blanket is
utterly out OF place. In fact. the pioneer
mother ideal is one to be taken up by a
sculptor of unmistakable genius. who can
feel its force and appreciate its inherent
beauty, or abandoned altogether. There
is a call for q great artist VIII 1t be
