White Star Liner
Torpedoed
GERMAN SUBMARINE FIRES
WITHOUT WARNING

The Arabic sailed from Liver
pool Wednesday at 3 p. m. for
New York with $50 passengers,
243 in the crew, 1900 bags of
first class mail and 1856 bags of
package mail, also a large ship
ment of gold for John Piermont
Morgan. From the time the
Arabic left Liverpool Wednes-
day afternoon, the British Adj
miralty believed every neces-
sary precaution was taken
against submarines. She was
conveyed for several miles by
number of torpedo boats. The
passengers, suffering in sus-
pense since leaving the British
port and fearing a torpedo at
tack, were beginning to cast of
the suspension. 1t was just
when this feeling of relief was
being experienced, and that the
great ocean steamer would sing
her way uninterrupted to the
mighty metropolis of the new
world that there was a Sizing
through the water off the star
board side. The Arabic had nc
chance to avoid the develish
torpedo that came from the
German submarine. In eleven
minutes the mightiest merchant
ship afloat was resting on the
bottom of the ocean, with loss
of AZ lives, four of whom are
Americans. President Wilson
in his last note, told Germany
that Friendship itself prompts
it (The United States Govern
ment) to say to the Imperia
Government that repetition by
the commander of German ma
val vessels of acts of contraven
ton of those rights must be re
garded by the Government o.
the United States, when they
affect American CITIZENS as de
liberately unfriendly."
Until all the facts are know
and established the Presiden
will take no definite action.

Pre-eminent Among Such Insti-

The fame of Missouri's School
of Journalism at the University
of Missouri is growing steadily.
In a speech at the University in
May, John A. Sleicher, editor
of Leslie's Weekly, said that
Missouri's School of Journalism
was better known in New York
than was the famous Pulitzer
School.
The new School of Journalism
at the University of Texas has

Columbia, and two graduates OF

"Train of Comfort" gives one a
little view of Colorado's land of

you catch the first glimpses of
the mountains, the Sierra Ne
vadas, with snow encrested on
their tops. Mexicans are num-
erous and Indians are at every
station with their curios to sell
to the travellers from the East.
Passing rapidly through the
desert of New Mexico and Ari-

sage-brush and tumble-weed, we
see curious Indian pueblos with
houses of clay built closely to-

here for we are going to "The

Union, with a coast line more
than 900 miles long, an area of
158,297 square miles, embracing
the highest and lowest lands in

The new governmental venture of the Chinese republic will be doubtless watched with interest by the world as liable to furnish a still further advance toward the ideal government. Each and every experiment in this direction may result in some development which will tend to solve the great problem of governing nation to the best possible advantage to the governed. Through out the ages it has been the constant desire of human kind to better the con- ditions of existence by remodelling and improving the form of state sovereign ty under which it existed Always 1t has been mans wish and aim to bring about d condition of government which should bring the greatest freedom and benefit to himself and his descendants. Always his inclination has been to dis card that which was found inhibiting or detrimental to growth or advance ment and to accept that which might seen to offer relief from what was un- desirable, And yet, despite this over whelming desire. man has made no really great advance along the lines of truly beneficial government The sys- tems have been somewhat improved through the casting out of such forms as permitted of tyranny, or the wield- ing of an exaggerated power, in favor of such as granted a greater individual freedom, but aside from this there has been but little deviation from the gen. eral forms of centuries ago. Always what is termed the republican, the form where the will of the people should be the dominating influence was looked upon as approximating the ideal and it has ever been the tendency to bring about reforms in the existing method which should border as closely on that
 form of government as was possible
 without completely upsetting the exist
 ing order of things. And yet with this
 supposed ideal reposing close to his
 heart he has taken numberless centur- les to bring about even the trifling changes in that direction which con- stitute the primary features of thel highest developed governments of to- day. True, there has been great i'm

MANNERS AND GOOD MORALS.

Manners some one says, "are the minor morals" Say rather they are the outside symptoms of good morals. For good manners rise from considera- tion for others; they are the testimony to our recognition of the principle that no man liveth to himself.
 So little thing as not interrupting another person is our acceptance of every ones right to that same privilege We challenge for ourselves of being heard. A green youth overcome by his own sapience, making himself heard oludly and listening little, is least down not merely as deficient in training and etiquette, but as lacking in common sense. And any one whom the music or his own vain tongue doth ravish like enchanting harmony" exhibits q rarely poor judgment of the relative import ance of things Mayhap it doesn't seem closely allied 10 morality that a man rises when awoman enters the room, but it is.
