Kings and Pawns
BY N. A. {.

The just-assued British and German
white books" which give the Ees-
sasae that passed among the various
European capitals Immediately 5store
the outbreak Of war, agree closely as
to facts. They amount to these:
Austria wanted to punish Sc VIA
for vexing her with political conspir-
ACES and for alleged conniving at mo
killing Of her crown prince.
Germany endorsed Austria's case
and gave her carte-blanche to 60
ahead.
Russia thought Austria's demands
too sweeping and feared a Teutontc
combine to block her advance Ia the
Balkans. Thus fearing, the Russian
bureaucracy prepared to fight.
France ached for revenge on Ger
many: Austria went ahead so fast and
so far that Qsi many, at the last min.
ute, couldn't pull her back; somebody

On their surface these diplomatic
exchanges reveal surprisingly little
excuse for 80 murderous a struggle.
Below the surface. however, and be-.
tween the lines. we see irresistible hat
reds, jealousies. vanities and distrust-
no doubt secretly egged on by profess
sional soldiers anxious to test the
tools Of their trade and eager for the
limelight-
But the outstanding thing in these
disclosures; the thing that to Ameri-
cans r. hardest to understand, Is the
pitiable part taken by the people who
must now pay with their property and
their lives. During the whole period
Of the interchanges they were not
once consulted. A mere handful of
men, In power under the antique claim
OF divine right. moved them as pawns,
Embellishments them to misery or
death.
In after years. when passion shall
have cooled and the great conflict
comes to be reviewed calmly, there
seems certain to be, IL civilization IL
to endure, an immense advance of
democracy.

Faith in Lightning
Rods is Reyiying

According to Farm and Preside.
lightning rods are Of great value to
farmers, despite the fact that wave
OF disbelief In them swept over the
country few years ago owing to
swindles perpetrated by lghtningrod
agents who charged exorbitant pricea
for their wares and otherwise do
frauded people. In the current Issue
Of this farm paper appears an article
on the subject, an interesting extract
from which follows:
There's no doubt but that build
ings properly rodded with good copper
rods are practically immune from Sc.
rious damage by lightning. OF course
the rods must be kept In good repair.
Once In q while we hear OF q rodded
building being slightly injured, but I
have never known q building being
destroyed by lightning II properly rod

rods. On the other hand, so many
unrodded buildings are destroyed that

them go unrodded. The CHASTITY leap
Ing flames from an unrodded barn
that was struck and burned to the
ground In my neighborhood last sea-
SON still form vivid picture In my
mind. For o time the lightning-rod
theory was considered as a sort OF
bogus proposition, due mostly to bus
mess done by fake lightning-rod
agents years ago. This idea Is now
rapidly dying out
ITO be sure. agents sometimes
charge exorbitant prices. but II you

thousand feet Of cable and "a tops

which are very reasonable. II this

DECISION OF SOME MoMEN!
Ruling by Tennessee Supreme Court VII! Probably in Future Be
 Cited as a Precedent.

The supreme court of Tennessee has decided a case which IS of inter- est here because of the discussion raised last year at the time of the impeachment of Governor Sulzer that the extra session of the legisla
 ture had no power to impeach the governor because 1t had convened for special purpose having to do with the impeachment, says the New York Sun. The case before the court ln- volved the right of the Tennessee legislature to appropriate S25,00o for an agricultural exposition com pany when the legislature was con- vened for the special purpose of pass ing the usual appropriation bills for maintaining the state departments.
 The court held that under the sec tion of the Tennessee constitution authorizing the governor, on extraor- dinary occasions, to convene the gen. cral assembly by proclamation, ''in which he shall state specifically the purpose for which they are to con- vene, but they shall enter on no leg islative business except that for which they were specifically called" the governor can limit the subject which the legislature can consider, and he can do this by the imposition of qualified matter upon a general subject; and hence that he could qualify the general subject ''appro- priations' by necessary to maintain the states institutions"

WAS IN NO GREAT DANGER
Quiet Little Man's Story and subse- quent Explanation Made Him
 Slightly Unpopular.

The talk in the smokeroom had turned upon personal risks. and the big man with the loud vo.ce had just related some veracious adven- lures and hair-breadth escapes which had happened in the course of his career.
 Suddenly the quiet little man who was sitting in corner spoke up.
 "Onlv this morning." he remarked, ''as I was engaged in the ordinary course of my business, boiler, weighing several tons, came hurling through the air within a few feet of my head"
 There were many exclamations of horror, and the big man turned to the speaker with increased respect.
 You are engaged in the engineer ing profession, l presume" he in- quired.
 "No," said the little man; T am engaged as ticket collector, and the incident l refer to occurred when 1 was standing on the platform of our station and the express went through"
 And in the silence which followed the big man let his cigar go out.

Rebel Russell was almost over
come by shock yesterday when his
White Sox teammates broke loose on
a batting, rampage and scored eight
runs, enough to have won three OF
four. more games that were lost on
the disastrous western swing which
ended last night.
OF II. games played the Sox won
three, and not one loss could be
charged to the pitching.
Some Of the hits made yesterday
could have been used to advantage
in previous games, but the large total
may indicate the Sox are pTimed for
another batting campaign, similar to
the one they enjoyed in the first series
on the home lot. They viii need an
