The statesmen who control the dcs-
tinies Of the great European govern
ments told their taX-burdcned people
that it was to prevent war that great
armies and navies were being main
tanned ut so much cost. The whole Of
Europe is abattle ground today with
what is to be perhaps the greatest
and most destructive war in the
worlds history going on. With its
frightful havoc it will after ali doubt
less be fruitful Of blessing that will
be worth all the cost in life and prop
erty and distress. The claim that to
keep a government on n military foot
ing Of such enormous proportions is
to insure peace with other govern
ments is u delusion. The truth that
nations, like individuals, must be ac-
tuated by the golden rule if they &C.
pect to live in peace with each other
must take root in the minds of the
people and become conviction so deep
that it will revolutionize the states
manship of Europe. God grant that
the veil may be lifted from the eyes
of the people Of Europe that they
may see the folly of much longer class
rule in government. It is past under
standing why any civilized people in
this enlightened age of the world will
still continue to burden themselves
with n class of non-producing, blood
sucking men and women called the
ROYALTY and nobility. These people
own most of the real estate and other
property of those countries. The
change must come some time. And
now that Europe is plunged into what
is perhaps TO be the greatest of all
wars, war brought on by the mill
tary classes, it is to be hoped as a re-
suit that in some way the last vestige
of class rule will be wiped out and the
governments Of the old world placed
in the hands Of the people, where all
government belongs.--Missouri Cash
Book.

EUROPEAN WAR

The war in Europe is still raging
with all its death and destruction.
Germany and England (that is the
people Of those countries) are meet
ing one another in deadly conflict,
doing damage and destruction that it
will take years to overcome.
Our people in our Civil war did
damage and destruction in the south
crn part Of this country which is not
yet entirely erased by rcparation and
the flight Of time. Why two or more
peoples will anxiously and patriot
ically meet face to face and shoot one
another down is past explanation.
But we see examples Of this state Of
affairs from the earliest times Of
which We have any history.
This is a very expensive and ugly
way, it seems, Of settling difficulties
and differences between nations. but
it seems to be the practical and usual
y adopted way regardless Of treaties,
Hague Tribunals and intcrccs ions,
all of which have been invoked often
in efforts to avert war. How soon
the population of the earth will devise
some other method Of settling differ
cnccs without rcsorting to arms is n
matter of conjecture.
When method is reached whereby
differences can be adjusted peaccably
then the world will prosper and adj
vance scientifically as it has never
before. and the great loss Of both
property and life, which is to be re-
GREETED, will be chiefly at an end.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH IN
FIRE At ELNlNS

The Riverside Hotel burned to the
ground early Thursday morning and
Lloyd +. Clifton was burned to death.
The fire was first discovered about
one thirty o'clock but the whole in
terror was a mass of flames when
first discovered. Mr. Clifton, it seems
was sleeping in a garret and was
probably not awakened till it was too
late to save himself. He was 4 young
man twenty-five years Of age and
married. Both lower limbs were
burned of above the knee and both
arms burned of above the elbow and
the body was so badly burned that it
could scarcely be recognized rs that
Of a human being. The building be-
tween the hotel and river. in which
was Il furniture store, was also burn
ed down.

FOR BETTER BABIES

Come to think Of it, why not ? State
and county fairs have for years been
stimulating interest in the production
OF better babies in herd stli and
flock. Some Of them have also Of
fcred prizes for boy and girl babies
as we'll but in most cases the affairs
have been treated more or less as
simply good fun, and as a means Of
adding to the gate receipts. The baby
with the prcttiest features, the "cun-
ningcst' curl, the most alluring smile,
or the dearest dimple has won "many
time and oft" over a strapping but
perhaps less scraphic bundle Of good
health.
The Missouri State Fair in effect
proposes to put bone, lung power, cir
culation, digestive capacity, breadth,
depth, length, and general physical
promise above that Of beauty which is
proverbially but skin deep, and call
in the physicians to examine the en-
tries to the Better Baby" show to be
held this year at Sedalia. They will
test the baby by standards which have
been set Ivy specialists in the care and
feeding of children, who know just
how much a baby should weigh and
measure and what its general dcvel-
opment should be at a given age, and,
hest Of all, when the babies do not
come up to the standard and do not
win prizes, the judges are to tell the
parents why, and how the baby can
be made better for another years
fair, and for all its life.
Eugcuics is all right 1t is good
to begin with the baby's welfare as
early as you can, but this Missouri
way seems full Of promise Of practi-
cal results, Some men an some
women know more about the hygiene
Of the infants of the barnyard than Of
those in the house. They all love
their own, Of course, but not all par
ents are equally well informed as to
the needs Of the child life. Good 70

Those opposed to the adoption of
Amendment No. Three set forth the
following reasons why this measure
should be voted down:
This amendment should be voted
down because it proposes to raise the
state tax rate from - cents to 20
cents on the hundred dollars assessed
valuation, and because the principle
of State aid for all local purposes is
wrong. Why go to the expense OF
collecting funds everywhere, send it
to the State officers at the capital and
then have them apportion what is left
back to the counties from which it
came after paying officers commits
sions? Whatever the State gives
must be taken from the people before
the State can have anything to give.
The people will lose their self reliance,
the greatest power for their own good
that they have, If they are taught TO
believe some outsie factor will make
their public improvements for them.
If people want improved roads. let
them build them with funds raised by
the local authorities, instead of by a
Statewide levy. 1t is a question,
anyhow, whether better transporta-
tion facilities have not brought more
misery than blessing to this country.
Unalloyed happiness is oftener found
in the depths of the inaccessible
woods than in the novels that line the
paved streets Of a city.

Disagree With Statement That Dreadnaughts Have

 BY THE TELEPHONE
Donation to City Sets Mathematicians Figuring Compound Interest Prob- lens of an Unusual Sor.--Pure
 Vaccine Matter Now Pc ssible

Berlin, July "A view recently ex- pressed by the British admiral, Sir Percy Scott that the development of submarines and hydroplanes made dreadnaughts and large cruisers Obsolete has caused much discussion in German naval circles. So far as their public utterances go. Ger man naval experts unanimously reject Admiral Scotts view.
 The German Fleet society has pro- nounced itself decidedly against 1t, and how Admiral Won Breusing has published an article taking the same position. He admits that the submarine has recently made great progress and now exceeds tho hopes that were at first held for 1t, and he also admits that the means of pro- lection against the submarine had not been developed at an equal pace. Never theless the submarines range of activity is a limited one. Even if it should put the dreadnaughts out of commission in shore waters, the latter would still be needed for operations on the high seas, where as yet nobody expects that the submarine can venture owing to its con stant need to replenish supplies.

Kansas City, July 1.-The joint conven- ton of the Baptist Young Peoples unions of America and the south today adopted a recommendation providing for the ap- pointment of a committee of three to rep recent the B. Y. P. U. A. in conferences with representatives of the sectional or ganizations of the south, Canada and the Pacific coast for the purpose of estao- fishing closer cooperation. The recom- mendation also provides an arrangement whereby the unions of the sectional or ganizations reaching standard of eX- cellence. can be recognized by the B. Y. P. U. A.
 The Rev. L. c. Barnes of New York, field secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission society, in an address charged the young people with tho task or driving saloons from the country, set ting difficulties between capital and labor and evangelizing Spanish America.
 within the next 10 years the saloon VIII be driven from this country" he said, and the task is yours The tension be- tween capital and labor exhibited in the Colorado mine war is typical of the battle which is on. Yours is the generation which must find the solution.
 .Of the half dozen other great issues in the mission field today, perhaps the one of most intense necessity is the need for the evangelization of Spanish Amer ica. Christianity can solve the Mexican problem.

Selma, July -(Special.) )-The glori- ous Fourth was observed in Selma in very quiet manner and the day passed off quietly. The manufacturing indus tries of the city closed for the day and gave their employees a holiday. The wholesale houses of the city also closed for the day, as well as the <anlSs of the city. The postoffice observed the day by closing at the noon hour and the carriers only made one mail delivery.
 A large number of selmians spent the day in the woods with their friends where they enjoyed delightful barbe- cue dinners.
 With the converting of the city court of Selma Monday morning the criminal docket of the court will be taken up. On the docket of the court there are more than 100 cases set to be heard during the week, and the week of the court will be busy one. The cases to be heard during the coming week are the result of the work of the grand jury of the court which was in session few weeks ago. Before the adjourn ment of the court there will be heard several capital cases.
 During the coming week under the direction of Superintendent of Educa- ton D. M Galloway of Dallas county will be started the school census, which will be taken. The districts of the coun- ty have been assigned to the several enumerators that have been secured to take the census and everything is in readiness for the starting.

 Where dog is allowed to run at large and bites the owner of another dog with which he is in fight and the own CT is bitten while negligently attemptinr to separate the fighting dogs there is no liability for damages because of the in jury unless the evidence shaws that the owner of the dog which committed the injury knew that his dog was accustomed to bite persons, and then the injury must not be carelessly brought about or con tributed to bx the plaintiff. and if 1t is. the plaintiff cannot recover /
