Father Kenny preached an impressive
sermon upon the life and character
of Andrew Reardon as an Illuminating
example for those who are left to
mourn the great loss of friend and
brother. Many beautiful floral Offer

were sign of the love and esteem

ROYALTY AS TARGETS.

The assassination of Prince Ferdinand
and wife of the reigning house of Haps-
burg in Austria, seems to be the out
growth OF racial hatred rather than to
be demonstration against royalty, even
though two or more persons may have
been concerned in the actual accomplish
ment of the terrible deed The national
action of Austria in regard to seizure of
Bosnia and Herzegovina without doubt
led to racial hatred which, in turn,
eventuated in one of the most startling
ASA ssinations in recent years. More
over, had the aged emperor, Francis Jo-
seph, exposed himself to the same dan
gers in trip to the troubled section
of his prospective realm, he would have
been a victim like as was Prince Ferdi-
nand The assassination seems to have
been the result, too, of unreasonng brav-
cry on the part OF the prospective mon
arch of the Austrian empire, for he went
boldly and without much protection into
the heart of an angry people. That
there was little protection is certain
when it is read OF the occurrence that
shortly before the assassin hoped on
the running board of the royal automo-
bile and fired the fatal shots Prince Fer
dinand was called upon to ward off a
bomb which was hurled at the automo-
bile, his vehicle getting beyond the force
Of the subsequent explosion, but the next
vehicle in line receiving the effects of the
bomb. With such an occurrence only
half hour old, it was to be expected
that the royal personages would be pro-
tected closely during the remainder of
the stay in the city of many hostile peo-
pie; but apparently the lesson of the
bomb throwing episode was taken as a
after of little concern, for the success
full assailant was able to get within
close distance of the royal personages
and TO infict mortal wounds on each at
the first shot fired at each. The whole
affair revealed curious inattention to a
duty which would have seemed most i'm.
portant in view of the fact that Prince
Ferdinand and his wife were visiting in
section OF the domain that was known
to be bitter against the national policy
of annexation.

assistance. But even though most OF
the misfortunes to ships have thus luck
lily turned out during the present year
it is time for ship owners and ship mas
tiers to take account of the situation and
see if everything possible is being done
for the protection of the countless lives
Chat are entrusted to their care. The
multiplicity of accidents might possibly
indicate that there is slight relaxation
of the old-t caution that was exer-
cised before the terrors of the sea had
been minimized by the discovery Of the
wireless telegraph, Whether or not that
be so the dangers of navigation are as
great to-day as they were before the
day of the wireless; the only difference
is that the people on board ship have a
better chance now TO be rescued once
they have run into those dangers. But
this latter consideration should not be
allowed to interfere in the least with
recognized safe methods of navigation.

Sunday. Take Back What You've Bor-

elsewhere and it has been suggested that
the mayor or the ministers set the ball
a-rolling here. An unwritten law rules
that there are certain household articles
that may be borrowed as matter of
neighborly courtesy. OF course in hun
dred and one instances the borrower me-
elects to return and that is just the rea-
son why Take 1t Back Day" was insti-
tuted. Wherever the plan has been tried
out it has been a bowling success. Old
grudges have been removed, neighbors
have been reunited, lodge bonds disseva
cred by careless exchange OF fraternal
courtesies, are now Iooped together, peev-
ish clouds have rolled away and many
persons have recovered articles they had
forgotten they ever owned Here is the

With the addition OF West Virginia,
beginning tonight, there will be nine
prohibition states in the country, the
others being Georgia, Kansas, Maine,
Mississippi North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Oklahoma and Tennessee. 1t is
undeniably true that the theory of nom
sale of intoxicating liquor for a beverage
has been gaining ground during the past
decade, several states having taken it
up by substantial majorities. In the
case of West Virginia the majority in
favor of statewide prohibition was one
of the largest ever cast in that state;
and for that reason the trial of the
theory OF prohibition should prove as
thorough as it is possible to make it,
Much depends on the trial of the policy
during the few years next intervening to
determine whether it shall grow or fall.

GoING.To.S SEA DANGERS.

The wreck of the steamship California,
en- route from New York to Glasgow
with over 1000 passengers, adds another
TO a remarkably long list of sea acci-
dents during the present year. Indeed,
not for long time has there been such
continuous series OF misfortunes to
large ships as during the first half of the
year 1914. However. most of the mis-
fortunes to ships have not been accom-
panied with great loss Of life as in the
case of the Empress OF Ireland in the
St. Lawrence river for the tremendous
ly important wireless telegraphy has in
tervened and enabled the distressed yes
sci to communicate either to land or to
some other ship in the immediate vicin-
ity. The accident to the California
eventuated in such manner and the
1000 passengers were taken off by ships
that promptly responded to the call for
