WILL HE SUCCEED.

Lieutenant Porte, OF the British
army, is preparing to cross the Allan
tic in an airship. The attempt will be
made, it is said, sometime next month.
lie will have a companion with him.
There seems only one obstacle or
likelihood of failure, barring, of
course, the breaking or giving away
of some part of the machine, and that
is the ability to carry fuel sufficient
to keep the engines going for n few
days mt time. If Lieutenant Porte
doesn't accomplish the feat someone
else will, sooner or later. Crossing
the Atlantic in Il steamship was tho
ught by some at first to be imprac-
ticable, if not impossible, for the rea-
son, that to carry the amount of coal
necessary to last The Journey would
sink the ship. How silly and childish
that objection seems now. In an adj
dress sometime ago, delivered at a
meeting away off in the country, the
speaker stated that before many
years he expected to be able to reach
that community in an airship. No
thing wonderful about it, Not more
so than the suggestion ten years ago
that autos would be running to and
fro, over and crosswise, through these
mountains. The automobile is dis
placing the horse and buggy so popu-
lar ten, or even five years ago. 1t is
rs easy now to sell an auto as il is TO
sell horse and buggy, and after a
while aircraft will displace the auto
mobile and perhaps the street-car.
Yes, the Atlantic will be crossed all
right, in an airship. Shoppers will be
able to fly over toLondon or Paris, do
their shopping and return next day.

rage-with these all Things are pos

AN IRVINE DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

Someone asks us if the Democrats
are not going to organize an Irvine
Club? Suppose they will later. The
Republicans and Bull Moose organi-
cations meet early in July, for the
purpose of nominating Il candidate
Tor candidatcs) against Mr.. Irvine,
and when these great and momentous
events in the history of American
civilization and progress take place,
and the Democrats know who they
are up against, there will be an active
progressive organization of an Irvine
Club in this county.
Speaking of the Bristol Conven-
tions, which meet on July Q, the lead
ers of the Republican party in this
community seem to be settled in the
opinion that Slemp will be the candi-
date, endorsed by both the Progress
sives and Stand-patters. A number of
the rank and file express adverse
opinions. Mr.. Roosevelt has declared
more than once against "amalgama-
tion," and militant Bull Moosers in
this section are not in favor of merg-
ing their organization with the Re
publicans between whom and them
selves there has been Il bitter war
from the start. One enthusiastic Pro-
gressive said that the cold Republican
party is dead, and we do not care to
hitch on to acorpse." Another says:
"The only hope of beating Irvine lies
in an united opposition, and we will
all get together" There the matter
stands at present. That a shrewd
scheme of political procedure will be
attempted and carried out at Bristol
there can be little or no doubt. Demo
Gratis will have many of thesame old
veterans tomeet, though greatly weak
ened in resources and strength.
So far as can be ascertained there
is but one sentiment in this section
among the Democrats. 1t is, eve can
and must elect Irvine" and every
Democrat in the community is brush
ing up his fighting clothes.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
TON.

The annual meeting OF the County
Convention, held here last week. was
pronounced success in every way.
Some folks-Sunday School people.
too-gave it the contents of the ice
bucket, however, by absenting them
selves, and taking no part or interest
IN 1t. These were too busy to attend.
Other folks, the ministers particular
ly, took an active interest, and did
much to make the meeting a success.
A number of the old officers were re-
elected and greater melting than
ever will be held next year.
About forty delegates from outside
tn town were entertained DURING the
Association.
The Secretary had as his guest
MIR. Thos. G. Diggs, State Secretary
OF the S. S. Association; Mr.. Monk
MIR. Ellis, and Mr.. P. G. Baugh, and
would liked to have had them longer
What could not be explained DURING
the convention was the absence of re.
ports and delegates from Richards
Maxwell, Baptist ana Presbyterian
schools at Graham and one or two
others. These good schools should
have been represented. The Secretar,
must hav mad mistake, and SEM
the blank report to the wrong man.
The program, or parts of it, wa.
criticized by some. A suitable pro.
gram is not easily gotten up. Anc
then, who can tell what speaker i.

THE JOURNALS DOG AND CHIC
KEN FIGHT.

The Evening Journal, sometime ago
gave out the pleasing information
that the Business Mems League, or
some such organization of Richmond,
was to have grand gala day-an
outing down the river to some IA
nous pleasure resort, remain all day
and return ut eventide, OF when the
tide turned, or when they all got tired
or words to that effect. The point is
that among the chief attractions and
amusements planned for the day by
these big business fathers and sons
of Richmond was several cock-fghts
and fight between bulldog and Il
Badger. The Journal also stated that
at the last outing of this club of plea
sure lovers, the Hon. j. Taylor Ely
son was one of the crowd, and UNI
pirc or referee in similar contest
as above mentioned. This recalls the
great day of sport at Ashland last
fall, when coyotes were the victims
of sport lovers. Will our contempt
rary please report what kind of a
time the b. NJ. l.. of Richmond had on
the occasion above mentioned?
The Independent, in lengthy edi-
torial on Church Unity, thinks that
the only questions 10 be considered
in order to bring about union, are
such questions as sour Lord will ask
on the Judgment day" and adds:
"Thc tide of union is gaining sire
myth, and the laymen are in the van"
If the laymen of the different demo
limitations had full authority church
union would become fact mighty
quick.

According to a recent investigation
by Commission, Chicago spends 1926
million dollars yearly for food. OF
every dollar of this amount the far
mer or producer, gets only SO cents.
The railroads get cents, The iobber
gets 10 cents and the retailer about
80 cents.
So, it appears that the price OF
toodstuffs is just about doubled by
the time it reaches the consumers
table. The Commission states that,
with proper system OF mrketing this
food cost can be reduced by E3 mil
hon dollars year. Private investi-
CATION" says the Independent, .'in
several cities has shown that retail
ers frequently make 300 per cent. on
food articles, especially those of a
perishable nature. but, what are we
going to do about it? The experience
OF a correspondent. published else
where, may suggest way out.

THE PATH TO PEACE.

The Mediation Commission at Mia
CARA Falls may not be walking in
the paths of peace, but the world be-
lleves they are pursuing the paths TO
peace. The spirit of vengeance and
war exists, if at all, outside the walls
of the Clifton Hotel, beyond the roar
ing Niagara. 1t is stated that the
numerous newspaper correspondents
constantly there are all peace cor
respondents" There isn't a war cor
respondent among them. That some
how, in some way, war will be avert
ed and permanent peace established
IN tn troubled and torn Republic of
Mexico, is now the prevailing belief
everywhere. "When men are ready
to substitute the reason of the round
table for force, or the threats of
force, the battle for peace is all but
won." The readiness with which the
offer of mediation was accepted shows
the growth of a dislike for war. and
a willingness, at least, to use all
Christian and judicial methods to
avoid it. All glory and honor to the
Mediators who proposed, and those
who accepted the offers of concilia-
ton Immortal fame is theirs. whe-
Their they succeed or not. A new day
has been ushered in onthisWestern

About forty miles from me is 81
great nursery. Some five or six wears
ago their barn burned with twenty
eight horses in it, The night-watch-
man was drunk and asleep IN his
room In the barn. He alone was saved
by the heroic firemen when thew ar
rived. Not a hair of horse or q
strap of harness was saved. The
barn with all it's contents. except tbe
drunken night-watchman, was lost in
flames and in smoke.
The 18th of last November the harm
was burned again. Someone return
ing nome about midnight noticed the
nursery barn on fire quarter of n
mile away. They turned in the alarm
ana the local fire company rushed
thefe with their equipment. Again
Ihey found the same old Waterman
drunk IN his room in the barn; so
drunk that he had notheardthestrug-
giles OF four horses as they broke
loose from their stalls opposite his
room. Inc iiremen saved the watch
man; everything else was lost, not 81
nair or halter was saved. This time
thirty horses were burned; four broke
loose but never left the barn: the
other twenty-siX died with scarselv a
struggle, evidently overcome with
smoke before the fire reached them.
Booze and business will not mix. A
man who gets drunk should never he
given responsibility which involves
the life, and safety of human beings
or dumb animals. 1t is almost crimi.
nal to give him such responsibilitv.-

Made up of Small Things


A wild birds song is a little thing
lost in the depths of a frowning
sky. And yet as it falls on a listen
ing ear and leaves its message of
melody, earth's green seems brighter
and life is sweeter, all through an
autumn day.
The coo of babe is little thing
meaningless sound from a vacant
mind. But tits the only sound that
all nations heed; the one clear Ian
guage that all races know.
A mothers love is a little thing
too soon, alas, forgot. But it typifies
to blind humankind the love and trust
and hope divine that bear with patti
ence calm and sweet the willful
wrongs in these lives of ours.
A passing smile is little thing
lost in world of toll nd care. And
yet the soul with gloom oppressed and
the life grown weary with burdens
hard will happier be In the after
glow of smile that is warmly kind.
A kindly word is little thing
breath that goes and sound that
dies. But the heart that gives and
the heart that hears may know that
it sings and sings till at last it blends
with the wild birds song, and the
COO of babes in what men call the
celestial choir.-The Utica Saturday
Globe.

Our Slaves

We must confess thtt we do not be-
come excited over the lurid reports
of industrial slavery" against which
the lachrymose uplifters rail in the
market-places. We do not find tears
rising as we see workingmen come
home from their toll; we do not sob
at the picture of the "poor miner"
delving in the bowels of the earth,
the vassal of some motoring master
of adamantine heart. Our artisans
and mechanics are better fed, better
paid, more independent and more
hopeful than at any time in the his
tory of the world. and if they are
"slayes," hundreds of millions in
other land envy them their bondage.
The real slaves of our systematic
only slaves-are the wives of small
farmers and of day loborers. For
these the propagandists do nothing ito
their sorrows the social the social
workers scarcely give thought. They
are deemed fortunate" or "happy"
and are sometimes classified as non
productive consumers.
But if we know human nature and
the sufferings and privations it en-
dures, the average small farmers
wife has more of hardship and an
guish in year than the much-be-
friended artisan has in a lifetime.
Exceptions there are, of course, but
in the main her existence, from the
very day of her marriage, is one of
infinite drudgery and unceasing sac
rifice. Without the means of hiring a
servant, or unable to find one even
when she has the money, the farmers
wife must cook his meals, tend his
house, rer his children-often must
bring the water, cut the wood and
work the garden. AAnd added to her
other woes is that of long, long hours
of solitude. while her husbands plow-
ing in u distant field and her children
are at school. No wonder you see
many of these women wrinkled ,stoop-
shouldered and old before their time;
no wonder insanity and suicide are
increasing among them at an alarm
ing rate.
Even worse is the condition of many
woman whose husband is a day la

During the month of April the
Pennsylvania Railroad added seventy
seven new names to its pension roll,
which now numbers nearly 5000
names. The company has paid out
nearly million dollars per year for
Ia years to employees retired ON ac-

policy, we believe, of all the railroads
to take care of their old employees
when they are no longer able to work.

an event Should be familiar to every
one claiming to be wcll-informed, and
particularly to the pupils of the

Some years ago n treaty of peace
was made between Chill and 4rgen
tina. In commemoration of which
event huge cross of granite was
erected on top of the Andes, on the
boundary line between the two Re-
publics, and on its base an inscrip-
ton was cut which pledged peace 70 :

not at all surprising to read "that
the government of Chill is regarded
as the best in South America"
