The Western Breeze.

Our little West Palisade protegee,
"The Western Breeze" makes its
initial bow in this issue of "The Pail
sadian." There is no special novelty
in introducing this wheel within a
wheel, but the young man who starts
out as editor is possessed of some
fine elements of character, and will
no doubt entertain all of our read
ers He does not make profession
to anything but modest effort, and he
is withal extremely timid of himself.
Our neighbors on the Western Slope
may expect from our auxiliary some
genuinely good contributions and a
touch of the human chord in what
the young editor may offer for their
weekly feast.

Local Drill Clubs.

What are Grantwood men doing as
their share in the shouldering of the
white mans burden, in this human
ity's burden, in the world conflict?
What are Grantwood women doing
as their part in the solving of the
problems of the worlds womanhood
in the great war crisis? What are
Grantwood boys and girls and chill
dren doing for the relief of the youth
and childhood of the world, the world
of the coming generations, in this
hour of trial? What are the inhabi-
tants of neighboring communities
doing as their part in this day of the
worlds and their brethren's need?
In the pleasant sunlight of pros
perity and content, in the habitual
security of the comfortable home and
ordered business, have we realized
the possibility of condition in which
greater moral restraint and self
sacrifice might be needed, as we'll as
greater physical hardihood and eff
ficiency?
The conditions of human devasta-
ton and undoing are now raging over
the earth. In the shadow of them
what are we doing for our own we'll
being, and it may be, for the danger.
Gus work of fighting back the threat
ening tide of world lust and murder :?
Does not the contingency of all
but universal conflict suggest the
wisdom of a girding of the individual
loins-both physically and morally
speaking, and the adopting of gen
eral policy of preparedness in hfe's
daily business?
The exercises and exercise Incl
dental to informal military drill if
instituted among US could not but be
beneficial to old and young alike, and
a means further to greater communal
solidarity and sociableness.
The present state of social and po-
litical arrangement is one which could
not fail to be helped, in however small
degree, through an intelligent crap
ping of the situation by our enlight-
ened citizenry.
Local unofficial drill clubs under
competent instructors, and wholly in
dependent of state or national au-
thority, would be one of the most
valuable, and it might be, popular,
means of unbelligerent participation
in the worlds great struggle.

suit of private enterprise, have been
open to the public for many years,
and have been admired as one of the
worlds greatest gardens. They were
perfected and are maintained at great
cost, and were appreciated for the
many triumphs in landscape art they
represented.
The immediate cause of the clos
ing of the Duke grounds was due to
the continual presence of the human
hog. He could not hold his SWINE
tendencies in check when in the pres
ence of such fairyland of beauty,
and proceeded to desecrate it to his
hearts content and at will. Flowers
and shrubbery were damaged with
wanton meanness, but the last straw
was last week when a large party of
Pennsylvania autoists, a hundred or
more machines, and several hundred
people, went into the grounds, held
basket picnic, Uttered up the PROP
erty scandalously, committed many
unfeeling depredations and other
wise disgraced humanity. There
upon Mr.. Duke issued a manifesto
forblddlng any one entering the
grounds. 1t is great public loss,
but due to the fact as one paper puts
it, that the human hogs who brought
it about really prove themselves just
a shade lower in breed than real
swine.

A World Britain.


PEELED as a result of the war, to learn
more about the world than ever be-
fore? Who hasn't been forced to
learn more real geography and gov
eminent, more about commerce and
especially the subject of world his
tory than in all his past life?
With the exception of South
America and our own small section
of North America; the Republic of
China and a few of the lesser states
of Asia and Europe the area of Goods
footstool" is in a state of WAR.
The network of rules, arrange
ments and customs, covering the
earth, and under normal conditions
making for peaceful intercourse are
now applied to the great task of hu-
man extirpation rather than that of
conservation.
The generals of peace and world
organization of industries and trade
have become the generals of the same
world organization in state of up
heaval. The lesser officers and men
have been drawn by their leaders into
the combat: and it is hard to see when
the end will come.
Just as in the matter of the great
puzzle of creation it is reserved for
the few to comprehend the mystery,
so in worlds colossal struggle none
there are who seem to grasp the
meaning of the strife. A million
random guesses are made at expla-
nation, but they do not seem to sat
isfy. To many it seems as inexplic-
able as if our own Ohio and Penn
sylvania were suddenly to clinch in
death struggle.
1t is easy to utter such words as
England, Germany, Russia, France,
and to have a feeling of hatred or adj
miration for them as the case may
be. But it is not possible, at least for
the average citizen, to comprehend
the clash of destinies and national
aspirations working at the very heart
of the people whose names these are.
In our own nation we have the
habit of thinking of New York State
as the banner state of the Union: the
Empire State. In the great world
nation of the globe we are similarly
accustomed to think of the world en-
pire of Great Britain as the Empire
State of the world. As in the great
Empire State of New York, with its
enormous population, it's world me-
tropolis, and it's financial pre-eml
nence, We are accustomed to acknowl
edge the leader of us all: so among
the sovereign world states the pre-
ponderance of Britain in these same
leading characteristics has naturally
placed her in the thoughts of human
ity at the apex of the nations.
And just as the dethroning and
SpollaClon OF imperial New Y DIRK State
by her sister states would be unthink-
able, so in the federation of world
states the destruction or humbling of
their most illustrious member should
be unthinkable Not at the expense
of the worlds family of nations does
Britain exist, but for their great bet
terment. Her world achievements in
the past; in colonization, including
ourselves; in commerce; and COVER
nance-these all entitle her to the
respect and confidence of us all, rather
than does the showing, brilliant
though it be, of her younger and I'M
tried neighbor across the German Sea.
In our own Civil War the stubborn
light for severance and secession on
the part of our southern states was
finally won by the forces that stood
for union and freedom.-W. S. B. d.

A Whitening Rebuke.

All of the impudent fools are not
dead yet. The latest proof of this
statement was the gratuitous insult
to President Wilson by Congressman
Frank Buchanan, of Chicago. Be.
cause as president of a peace organi-
cation he could not have a personal
interview with President Wilson, he
threatened to expose the treatment he
had received by a public statement
and so wrote Joseph P Tumulty, Sec
rotary to the President. What he got
in the way of satisfaction from Mr.
Tumulty was small indeed. He was
told to go to it and do it in the fol-
lowing letter:
The White House, Washington,
Avon, N. j., Aug. 6, 1915.
My Dear Mr.. Buchanan: | received
your letter of the 28th of July, and
beg to say that l resent the tone of
it and the unwarrantable differences
you have drawn by reason of the
Presidents inability to confer with
you at the time you requested.
AS far as | am concerned, there is
no objection to any statement you
may desire to make to the public in
this matter.
Very truly yours,

A man who is possessed of no more
respect for the President of the
United States than was shown by
this jackanapes congressman should
be expelled from the House as a de-
served lesson in common decency and
politeness. Mr.. Tumulty treated him
with even more consideration than he
deserved, at the same time admins
tering a whitening rebuke.

Association holds its t!hirty-fourth an
nual meeting at the Waldorf Astordit
Hotel next Friday 1t is expected tina
all of the topics to be discussed Will
be overshadowed by the fight of THE
two rival factions for the national

to have something up Its sleeve,
neither party has displayed any viii
hngness to talk about the matter.
The matter next in Importance to

It now seems unlikely that any inter

year, but it is more than likely that
the association will challenge for
America tentatively. Besides the ma
tional championship all other dates

Kilhnne.MillIam. Go uncertain.

The bout between Johnny Kilbane
and Kid Williams, scheduled for Feb
ruary "A at the National A. c., Phila-
delphia, is by no means a certainty
and may not take place. Kilbane
now demands that the weight be 122
pounds at o'clock on the evening
of the fight, in place Of ringside, as at
first agreed. This change in the hour
for weighing in Williams will not
agree to, and as Kilbane says he
will not fight at rtngside weight for
less than s5,OOO it Is thought possible
the bout may fall through. Further
complications are made by an offer
of a $1,000 purse from the Olympia
management, whereas $500, or 70
per cent. Of the gate. was the limit
the National A G. would give the
men. they to divide evenly. Will
Jams has agreed to accept the larger
offer, holding that Kilbane's back
down on the weight question gives

that comes along.
