this sound like prosperity?

The attempted assassination
Of J. P. Morgan, the capitalist,
last Saturday was the simple re-
suit Of the influence ofeonditions
permitted under our social order
which cry for correction from
society, but which the force Of
custom still makes possible.
It was the act Of a fanatic who
evidently believed that where
society fails to correct it own
wrongs the individual acting
against the Individual must un-
dertake the mission. This is
pure lnnacy, of course; but the
crazy, like the poor. are always
with us. Morgan is the inter
mediary between the foreign
governments at war and the
munitions factories in this ceun-
try who are supplying the means
Of continuing the human slaugh-
ter in Europe. Frank Holt, whe,
by the way. is of good American
ancestrage, could not understand
why the government at Washing
ton could be humanitarian while
|it allowed Photographers like
Morgan TO feed the dpgs Of war,
when il would have been q great
boon 10 mankind to allow them
Ito starve to death, and. therefore,
undertook to solve the problem

1t was remarked recently by q
speaker at q gathering of news
paper men, that q newspaper,
while conducted as a private eA-
terprise, was in reality a public
servant, and as such was worth
(all and even more than it cost
the community for which it labor,
ed. Without any desire to ap-
plaud our own work, we believe
that anyone who will frankly
study this proposition must ad-
init the truth of the statement
that the newspaper works as
much for the welfare of the COM
munity as for its own success.
AS a public servant the local
newspaper does not merely per-
form a perfunctory service to the
public in return for a fixed sti-
pend, as in the case of public
official, such duties being simply
routine, and the man who per
forms them is in most instances
simply recording officer. The
newspaper works for the public
by pointing out, advocating and
urging policies and projects for
the advancement of society in
general, materially and morally.
In this labor it is unremitting
and persistent. The part it
plays is to keep public opinion
awake to public requirements
that promote the welfare and
happiness of US all, collectively
and Individually. For this SER
vice it receives no fixed compen-
sation and more often none at
all, but whatever the cost to the
public of maintaining q news
paper, it is never too much for
the service rendered.

Race. Within Race. In the Balkans.

Language and religion are not the
only basis OF the intense subdivision OF
feeling I'm the Balkans. The whole re-
gion Is parceled out among race frac-
lions. some Of which are NO larger than
hamlet. Roumanians, Bulgarians,
Servians and Greeks have a sharp con-
sciousness Of race persistence, and at
the same time every state Is intent
upon breaking up the race units of 9th
er peoples which exist within It's bor-
ders. If Greece were peopled only by
Greeks and Bulgaria by Bulgarians
and Servia by Servians, the task would
be easier. II Is curse to the peninsula
that the villagers have pushed this
way aud that wherever there was va
cant land or wherever they could make
n vacancy by driving out the previous
holders. The result Is the creation Of
race islands in the midst Of angry race
seas.-Albert Bushnell Hart in Outlook.

The Rat and tho Bulbs.

According to the French naturalist
De Parville, gardener planted one
afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on terrace,
and next morning he noticed that the
ground had been disturbed and that
the bulbs had all been taken away.
He was confident that rats had done
the work, and, taking a spade, he be-
gan to dig in the hope OF discovering
their nest. Soon he unearthed a large
female rat, which he killed. and after
digging a few more minutes he dis
covered an underground chamber lined
with hay and leaves and connected by
a corridor with two holes, which were
evidently used as storehouses, for In
them he found the 250 tulip bulbs.
This was remarkable, but more re-
markable was the fact that they were
neatly arranged in two rows and that
not one Of them had been gnawed or
otherwise injured

one asked how old he was. to knock
Off about so per cent.
She told people the boy was large
for his age and explained the gruff
tones Of his voice by saying that his
tonsils needed attention.
One day the rector Of the church
called, and while waiting In the draw

day would be his birthday.
"Ah," said the rector. "and how old
will you be then"
"Ten years DID," replied the boy. as
per instructions.
"Indeedv said the rector. IL dare
say you haven't any idea what your

"Oh, yes. l have" was the unexpect-
