In hemmorial.

Again, that grim monster
death has entered the home of
Mr.. R. W. Barnes and saddened the
hearts, and darkened the home by
claiming his beloved wife, Elizabeth.
Mrs. Barnes had been i'll for
nearly month, and time and again
there were hopes Of her recovery,
and many hearts united in prayer
asking that she whom was so dearly
beloved might be restored to her
loved ones, but the loving and ali
wise God who Understandable all
things and .knoweth what is best
said mo-. On Saturday afternoon,
April Oath, 1915, He reached down
His strong arms of love and gently
lifted her from her bed Of affliction
and claimed her as his own.
Mrs. Barnes was thirty-six years
of age, and before her marriage
was, Elizabeth Stephenson, daught-
er of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Stephenson,
Of Halifax, N. C.. She had been
united in marriage to Mr.. Barnes
fifteen years, and to this union were
born seven children six living, one
dead. She was a kind wife and
devoted mother. She was one of
those rare characters who lived
life so blameless that there is no
one to speak evil of her To know
her, was to gain a true friend. We
cannot understand why one so
young and good should be taken
from our midst, but some time we
will read the meaning Of our tears,
and then, ah then we will under
stand"
Mrs. Barnes was a faithful men,
Der Of Dawson Baptist Church and
will be sadly missed from among us.
1t is hard, oh so hard to stand idly
by our loved ones and see the last
spark of life flicker out, but it is
sweet to know that Jesus arms are
ready to receive them. What a
crush to all those about her when
some one whispered "she is dead, :"
and especially to her husband, for
| what is,dearer to a man than a true
loving wife ? No tongue can tell
and no heart can feel how he shall
miss her, except thoseswho have ex-
perienced it and have drank Of the
cup Of sorrow, that now fills his
soul. May the Lord pour the oil Of
coincidence into all her loved ones
hearts and prepare them to meet
her in the sweet by and by
All that was mortal OF her was
laid to rest in the family burying
ground near Halifax. The funeral
services being conducted by her
pastor Rev. Johnson.
Mrs. Barnes leaves a father,

AS we sit and think, when the sun
sets gold,
Is flushing river, [hiIl and shore;

And list for the sound Of the
boatman's oar.
We shall watch for CLEAN Of the

We shall hear the boat as it gains

We shall pass from sight with the

To the shore of the spirit land.
We shall know the loved who bave

The Gospel Of Hate.

Perhaps it is human nature, as
Tacitus said, to hate those whom
we have injured. But the feeling
is not one which either..an Individual
or a nation can afford to cherish.
One\of the most distressing features
Of the present war is the bitter
enmity toward England (which is
being deliberately cultivated in
Germany. The vindictive Hymn
of Hate" has become almost the
national song, and "Gott strafe Eng
land" is now the most familiar salu-
tation. This is sowing the dragons
teeth with a vengeance. The worst
Of it is that hate, like jealousy,
grows with what it feeds on. 1t is
said that Americans are almost OBJ
novious to Germans as Englishmen.
And there are daily evidences of a
similar antagonism in this country.
The German-Americans, as they
like to call themselves, apparently
no longer care to live in peace and
anmity with their neighbors. They
regard the lack of American SYM
pathy with German ideals of
"Kultur" as repersonal slight, to
be vigorously resented.
There is striking Illustration Of
this attitude in the letters which
the Public Ledger constantly re-
ceives from German-American read
ers. While its own convictions re-
gardirg German responsibility for
the war and German military and
diplomatic methods have been
freely and frankly expressed, it
has given abundant space in its col
umns to presentations of the Ger
man point of view. 1t published in
full, for example, the pamphlet,
Truth About Germany" and more
recently long article by General
Won Bernhard, But it has not pub
lished, nor does it propose to pub
lish, communications that are filled
with abuse and that have no real
bearing upon the points at issue. 1t
regrets exceedingly that so many
communications of this kind are
sent to it. They reveal condi-
ton of mind injuries to the writer's
and dangerous to the nation. They
are minor manifestations Of a spirit
Of more strikingly exhibited in
"nutrality' mass-meeting and in
the activities Of pro-German propa.
ganda. Love for Germany. even
the desire to defend her, right or
rong, is Understandable. perhaps
pardonable.
This is obviously a matter Of
more than temporary consequence.
If such feelings were to end with
the war, it would be bad enough.
But it is against all human ex-
perience to believe that this is
possible. The passions of men are
much more easily aroused than al
layed. There have been conflicts
among nations that eventually pro-
noted a better understanding. A
generous foe may become a warm
friend. But, as Hosea Biglow puts
it. Folks never understand the
folks they hate. The Germans in
Europe will have to live in peace
with their neighbors some day, and
the Germans in the United States
will have to be on good terms with
their fellow citizens. 1t would be
the worst kind of misfortune if the
animasties they are now cherishing
should linger on in American social
and political life. The gospel Of
hate is a gospel of i'll tidings. from
which we may we'll pray to be de-
ivered.-Philadelphia Ledger.

TO START BOULEVARD
Plans on Foot to Connect Two Golf
Links.

Members of the board Of directors
of the Country club and the Shawnee
Golf club met in joint session at the
Commercial club quarters today for
the purpose of discussing the question
of the esta blishment of five miles of
the proposed Topeka boulevard sys-
tenn in order to make the new grounds
in Highland park, which have been
leased by the Shawnee Golf club more
accessible. J. w. Rickenbacher, who
has been making a special study of
the proposed boulevard plan for To-
peka gave a short talk No definite
action was taken at the meeting, but
interest was shown in the proposed
roadways, and further meetings VIII
be held.
The proposed section of the boule-
ward would connect the Country club
links with the Highland park grounds.
The road if improved will start at
Boles avenue on Twenty-fifth street,
running east to Virginia avenue; then
south on Adams street to the north
line of the new golf grounds, east
on Twenty-ninth street to California
avenue. The road as planned will also
go north from Twenty-fifth street on
Virginia avenue to the Fifteenth street
bridge over the Shunganunga.
The plan includes the construction
of a viaduct over the Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific tracks and Butcher
creek. Mr.. Rickenbacher expects 20
have an estimate of the cost within a
few days. 1t is proposed that the inn
provements should be paid for by the
property owners, the county and the
township.
