THE SLAV.

Though the racial differences which
were the direct cause of the war in
Europe have been obscured by the
transfer of the center of interest from
East Europe to West Europe, still the
underlying fact that these racial diff
ferences are the root of the trouble
must not be overlooked.
Germany says that this is war of
Teuton against Slav of Europe against
Slav domination. She pictures her
self as the protector of civilization
against "A Slav flood
What is a Slay, and who are the
Slavs
H. Kostelski, editor of the Croatian
Herald of Pittsburgh, has sent the Du-
luth Herald an interesting and import
ant statement from which the follow
ing facts are derived:
The Slavic people call themselves
"Sloveni," which means the people
who talk" There is much confusion
.n this country regarding nomencla-
ture. the terms Slav, Slavic, Slavonic,
Slayonans, etc, being used inter-
changeably. According to Mr.. Kos
tclsN the proper name is "Slav."

THEN


one hundred years ago today the
presidents palace" at Washington
was Quilted by fire and from this event
ii became universally known as the
white House" 1t was at the time
OF the War of 1912. In the pickering
light of burning Washington the scar
let-cOated figures Of the incendiaries,
the soldiers of the British King, were
to be seen riOting in the streets of the
city they had captured after President
Madison and his cabinet and most of
the citizens had fled at their approach.
In the general flight, Dolly Madison,
the presidents wife, fingered long
enough To cut George Washington's
portrait from its frame and carry it
off to safety. 1t is related that the
presidents dinner was still steaming
on the table when the British burst
into the palace" as it was then call
ed. In the light cast by the burning
Capitol, the Treasury Building, the
Arsenal and 1000 volumes contained
in the Congressional Library. the
troopers rushed To the palace" Some
seized flaming brands from burning
saloon and thrust them into the drap-
cries of the presidents house. Mirrors,
furniture and bric-a-b rac were smash
ed, while the flames burned until they
had Quilted the interior and scurched
the exterior. When the palace" was
repaired the fire works were oblitcrat-
ed On the outside with V,hita unipt
This, it is Said, is the way in which
the building became known as the
White House"

White HOuse--Then and Now

NOW
Today the White House is visited
by more than 1000 persons every day
More historical events have centcrcd
around this shinins, white mansion
than around any like building in the
world during the past century. Twen-
have lived in it, and two have died
within its walls. Lincoln went from
its Red Room to. his assassination at
Ford Theater; Garfield was carried
unconscious TO its shelter where he
fingered in pain from the assassin's
bullet many weeks before he died. The
greatest statesmen Of the world have
assembled here to discuss the destin-
les Of governments and nations. Its
magnificent ballroom has been the
scene Of functions whose splcndor has
rivaled those OF the most sumptuous
Cf Oriental courts. Here the chief
executive conducts his business. TO
maintain the White House and its eX-
penses 1t requires over $25O,OOO a year.
Under the head of household expenses,
horses and vehicles, etc. is the item,
$4,000; fuel, $4,000; lighting $500.
Today the White House has been en-
lareed TO accommodate the growing
Official family of the presidents. 1t has
been reported that since its foundation
the American people have spent more
than $4,000 600 to keep it in proper or

LAST GREAT WAR WITH
THE SWORD7

Commenting on the European war
Henry Clews says lit is To be hoped
that IL will destroy the use of the
sword and make the power of the pen
everlasting. If SO, this will be the last
great war with the sword The pen is
all powerful in commerce. and this is
a commercial age. The sword is death
10 commerce, the present cruel slaugh-
ter being an evidence thereof.
After the first great battle is fought
every one left TO tell the story should
urge with voice and pen final adj
justment between the warning nations.
such a result would prove a victory
for both sides alike that would pro-
duce a general disarmament, thereby
saving all the nations concerned from
general bankruptcy.

tion League. of which Lam the presi-

WHAT NAME FOR THE WAR?

BY what name shall this war be
known? Newspaper correspondents
and writer's seek To meet that difficult
question by talking of Armageddon
and the titantic struggle but these
efforts are evident makeshifts. The
trouble is that no person can arbi-
trarily choose designation and hope
to have it used by others; an unin-
spired and unprecedented consensus
OF opinion usually settles the matter.
When war is between two coun-
tries alone it is comparatively easy to
guess what that consensus Of opinion
will he. The Franco russian War"
the Russo-Japanese War;" the war
between China and Japan'-the GUS
tom is simply to use the names of the
Cuntending nations in as brief a form
as possible. But how when half doz-
en- or more nations are involved?
Which sail it be?
The War of Teuton and Slav.
The War of 1914.
Kaiser Wilhelm's War.
The War Against Germany.
The European War.

Considerable speculation is

Is the present campaign in
Teton to be characterized
by a brand of newspaper ruff
fainism that comported with
the tactics of a quarter
century ago? A couple of
county papers have started
out to ressurect all the ad-
jectives and explosives of
invective to be found inside
and outside the covers of
Webster and are laying on
with evident abandon and
ghoulish glee. These labor
ed and bitter newspaper har-
rangues may get a hand from
the ivory-pated element in
the communities in which
the papers are printed but
we doubt seriously that they
are approved by the think
ing and well-bred element.
The good Lord knows the
newspaper profession h a S
been overdone and prostitute
ed in all too many ways in
Montana in the past two or

have an old-fashioned, I'M
