AS MAN TO MAN.

The newspaper man worried and
stewed around all day yesterday for
fear his friend Ed Kellam would be
drowned at sea when the telegraph re-
ported the steamship Siberia was
wrecked on a reef. But the ship came
safely into port, and Tom Cordry, the
Parsons editor, and another good old
friend died on dry land last night
down at Pittsburg at a banquet The
newspaper man is feeling bad today.
He had just read the good news in the
paper this morning about kellam be-
ing safe when the headline announc-
ing the death of Tom Cordry caught
his eye. He who gains loses
1t is SO all the way along the route of
this worlds journey. A man meets a
friend in the morning and bids another
friend goodbye at sunset. The best
things in the world are friends, and
they are the most uncertain. A man
loses friend by a word, a gesture, a
moment of anger. A friend moves
away from town and leaves his friend
behind desolate. A friend moves
across the dead line.
Hello and goodbye, these two words
arc fatal twins, born Of the flesh, chill
dren of joy and heirs of sorrow.
A man meets a man. They become
friends. Two little ships that passed
ment to pass a brave word of greeting
across the waters. And then sailed on.
each on a separate way across the
trackless ocean of the fleeting years.
The sails of the one are swallowed up
in the mists. and though the captain of
the other bark strain his eyes to pierce
the distance and the clouds, he may
not ever see again those sails or that
frail ship upon this sea.
Ed Kellam reached the port Of Ma
Mia. Old Tom Cordry is sailing a
shoreless sea. The newspaper man
hopes his ship reaches port in safety
and anchors inside the bar at the port
of missing men. He hopes they fire
the sunset gun for old Tom and
send an admirars launch out to take
him ashore. He hopes they light the
lamps in the house on the hill, the
house not built by hands, and give a
feast that night in old Toms honor,
and play on a harp of thousand
strings.
Two friends. and one was saved and
| one was lost, in the same day and on
opposite sides Of the globe
The newspaper man is glad and sad
today. Noon and midnight. as the
preacher said, without space be-

HOLDING UP" CIRCUSES IN

John Ringing of the Ringling
and Barum Shows and Lou Bonti,s
of the SelIs-tloto Shows. are not
the only ones who have had
taste of the holding up the
circuses experience when they
come to Louisiana. George Sands.
business manager of the Barnes
show, now III the state, got his Ill
New Orleans last week. Besides
being made to pay out over $1,000
in licenses of various kinds, IN
Guiding state, parish and city,
the show was held UP for over
1000 passes by people who had
some little authority, but who
were in no wise entitled to free
tickets. What Sands has to say
about the holding-up the show
has experienced in Louisiana is
uite lot-too much and entirely
TOO strong to print here. But 1t
was enor gh.
Louisiana bears a reputation IN
the circus world Of having a
larger number Of freetlcIet graf
ters than any other state III the
union. The circuses as usual
thing are not only made to pay
largely for everything they OBJ
tain, but after doing so are
moosched 'out of passes by
people who have no claim i'll the
world on them. A few years ago

not entitled to them. Together
with the complimentary tickets
issued to those who were entitled
to them. and those given to the
newspapers in exchange for COM

ARBITRATION OF THE
MATTER,

The question is often asked
"who is going to win ia the stu.
pendous conflict that is now rag
ing in Europe?" We cannot, Of
course, guess at the final outcome
Of the battles, but it is very prob
able that after peace has been
restored and the whole matter
Summoned up it will be found
that none Of the warning nations
have won, that all have lost.
European nations can no longer
hope to bolster up their power by
wars Of conquest and the present
conflict can mean nothing more
for them than selfdestnuction. 1t
is even probable that they will
not be able to settle the matter
to their own liking. If the ma
tlons keep their pact not to
make peace until all have agreed
to the terms, the war may 60 on
indefinitely, or until the people
Of Europe are reduced to despair
al! starvation. Already the cry
for hread is heard In the end
the helligerents may be forced to
call upon neutral nations to arbi-
.trate the terms of peace, thing
they would have refused in the
first instance. Our own govern
.ment will be AN important fac tor
IN the matter if it is left to arbi-
.tlstioR by neutral powers. They
eli contend to be fighting for a
permanent peace, and II me arb
-rration of the matter were left
solely TO thr present writer we
would change the map of the
world in a way that SHOULD help
out some in that direction. al
though the plan might at first be
regarded las hslge, adult joke.
To begin in Europe, We would
restore Hhland to the Roles and
divide the balance Of Russia be-
tween Poland and Germany, thus
banishing the czar to Siberia Eu-
roHean Turkey and the pestl-
ferrous Balkans should be given
to Greece, ahus fulfilling their
dream Of restoration of the Mel
lenic empine. Germany and
France should match pennies to
see who shall have Alsace and
Lorrasne and Belgium. In Asia,
Syria should be turned over to
the Syrians, the balance of tn"
Holy Land to the Jews and the
Moslem power reduced to en-
brace only the present boundary
Il Arabia. The Chinese empire
should be left intact, al European
nstions to disavow any claim to
territory there and join in an
that would insure it
against invasion by Japan or any
