To the Editor OF The Times:
Will you allow me. "a one who lived

England, for the present war, because
IL. is evident that he had very little
TO do with IL. But blame does rest
on the hereditary systems or govern
ment In vogue In European countries
with all the avarice and pride attach
ed TO them as the cause OF this con-
fiict.
The methods by which hereditary
rulers are maintained In their posi-
lions, the means by which their au-
thority Is enforced. the favoritism to-
ward those who uphold them on the
one hand and the oppression OF those
who uphold them on the one hand and
the oppression OF those who oppose
them OH the other. are linked with
cruel abuses which are often suspect
ed. but at the same time not fully un-
derstood by the great mass OF the
people. Underneath these facts may
be found the true explanation OF all
the trouble--the annexation OF Bosnia,
leading to the assassination of the
archduke of Austria. the war by Aus.
tria on Servia,, the mobilization of
Russia's forces, and the declaration of
war by Germany and the other coun-
tries.

From THE House We Live In" a
new volume from the pen Of DR.. Will
liam Elliott Griffis and the press Of
Funk & Wagnalls Co, we take the
following timely paragraphs:
Neither the beauty Of spring flow
ers, nor the splendor OF summers
harvests, equal the mellow affiuence
of autumn's glory. For personal en-
joyment and exercise Of the nobler
powers, human life Is at its best after
so; and, IL personal experience be the
criterion, the writer would say, after
so. Not for command. or for execu-
tive initiation, neither for animal
ments, nor for easy conformity to the
tyranny Of social custom. but for pure
delight In the higher realms OF hap
piness, no previous period In life, no
April, May, or even June or July OF
existence can compare with its glori-
GUS October. Then are at their best
the treasures Of memory and OF
hope, the rich fruitage of intellectual
culture, the satisfying pleasures Of
the mind and the raptures OF faith.
From these resources Is spread the
table Of life as never before, and for
the daily banquet at which sits as
guest, the Infinite friend Of man.
Life, as It lengthens In perspective.
becomes more interesting. and its out
look grander. There is ever more that
one wishes to live for, here or here
after. IL one has cultivated his mind
and taken wider view Of history and
humanity, then for him the drudgery
OF textbooks, the grammar aud die
tionary are largely over. He sees
with clear vision where he once
CROPPED to find q clue. He enters into
his intellectual Inheritance. Where
was the sowing is now the reaping-
sheaves borne Where once tears fell.
He IL no longer the heir, under tutors
and governors, but the possessor of
riches. Of which no slump In the mar
ket. no panics, or national commissions
can rob him.
