BOSTON,S PARADE.

Boston, following the spirit of New
 York, will on next Saturday turn out
 some seventy tsthousand men and
 women in a.~ preparedness parade. Attention has been called to the fact
 that this day marks the ninety the great American writer, Julia
 Ward Howe, prison reformer, op- ponent to- slavery, promoter of woman suffrage and peace advocate. This latter phase, of her career is taken as an ill omen by some of the Boston newspapers who feel that some better anniversary should have been selected by the committee on arrangements. Yet, those who have lead Mrs. Howe's works will readily attest she was not a peace-at-any price advocate. Nor was she woman who would sing, T Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier She was not a pacifist in the sense the term is used today. She saw where the Revolutionary war was fought for freedoms cause, and she knew why the Civil war came about. When a war is righteous it calls for no ap- probium. Then, Julia Ward Howe wrote the Battle Hymn of the Re- public," a stirring march song that might we'll be sung in any prepared ness parade, when the idea of pre- fense.

What Is "A Church?
(New York Tribune.)

The differences between the Rev. MT. Johnston and the vestry of Trim ity church, over in Newark, which led to his resignation, seem to have as their basis widely varying concep- tion of what a church is. The cler- gyman quotes one vestryman IS say ing that a church should be run just like a grocery stOre-to please the patrons and as the proportion of sinners" to saints" in Trinity's con- gregation was nine to one the ser mons should be such as would not dis turb or irritate the majority.
 Against this idea the rector set his own-that a church was more than a corporation or an institution with members and a governing board, to be conducted according to a certain policy. He believed in preaching without censorship, in discussing pres ent-day problems in their relation to religion and religions relation to them, as we'll as more abstract the ology. The net result he described thus: Some one has said that run ming a boys school is like sitting on a live volcano. The comparison is not inapt. Running a parish in Newark with a conscience alive to ones so- cial environment and the social de- mands of the religion of Jesus Christ is quite as interesting and quite as full of volcanic foci as any boys school"
 The situation appears to have been not unlike the one which resulted in the dropping of pr. Scott Nearing from the University of Pennsylvania. The university authorities vigorously denied that his services had been discon- tinued because of radical theories dis pleasing to some of the contributors. But not long thereafter the governing body adopted a new set of regulations relative to the tenure of office of mem bers of the staff which were inter- preted as safeguarding any professor in future from such an experience as Dr. Nearing's
 Clergymen and college professors are regarded, and rightly so as lead CTS of public ortnion--public servants in high and true sense. A muzzlcd minister or professor is unthinkable It is fortunate, indeed, that the Issue of freedom of expression of opinion by those who should be so important in forming the public'g views arises so seldom

Dublin Castle Covers W0re Ground Than v. 5. Cabif0I

abortive attempt to seize Dublin saying farewell to Judge Curran's daughter to whom he was devoted.
 His speech delivered on the scaffold the following day is one of the best known examples of impassioned Irish
 oratory. William Smith O'Brien, from the South of Ireland, was the leader
 of the rebellion of 1848, in which Dublin took little part. The Fenian
 society's activities of 1867, both in Ireland and in America, kept the cap ital city in turmoil for many weeks.
 "Dublin Castle, which figures so conspicuously in the city's uprisings, is an unimpOsing structure built orig
 inally during the first quarter of the 18th century. It covers nearly three times as much ground as the United States capitol building in Washington. Another building of impressive size, covering five acres, is now occupied
 by the Bank of Ireland but was forz merly used as the house of parliament
 The most famous institution of the city is Dublin University, or Trinity college, founded under charter from Queen Elizabeth in 1591.
 "Commercially Dublin is famous for it's poplins, it's whiskeys and it's DOT ter. At one time it's woolen, cotton and linen manufactures were exten- sive. Huguenots fled to this city and established extensive silk works after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes"

A Real Fish Story.

The fish story is no longer received in the best society, according to The Buffalo Commercial. But that news paper remarks that one hears of the fish story now and again out in the cold, cold world. So hearken to this one from The Boston Globe: John V. Avery of Port Jervis, N. Y.. was smoking and fishing when. seeing a pickerel darting toward his hook, he became excited and dropped his cigar through the hole in the ice. The pickerel leaped for the bait

should be written on the statute books of all schools a law making it crim- inal offense for any pupil to answer a teachers questions with the stock phrase 'I Don't Know. Aside from it's terrible offense against rhetoric it has no place in the language of the nation. For not knowing things they should know, men have lost out in the race of life Aspirants to high honors in all walks have been summarily crushed to the depths of despondency because they knew not what they should know. Therefore, we submit the aforementioned account of the three greatly abused words in the English langua ge,-we will put it that way,-for what it is worth, trusting that the superintendents of all schools will order shot at sunrise all those pupils who stand up in their places and blatantly announce they do not know lessons they should know.

The whole story is rem iniscent of an experience in the mem ory of Buffalo party on a night fishing trip on a Canadian lake A night-sWimming sunfish was brought up with cigar band on his back.

DAIRYING IN DENMARK.
Methods Worthy of Study In This
 Country.
Louisville Courier-Journal)


 ] In Denmark the bread is home baked and the beer home brewed, The women spin wooden yarn which the village weaver makes into cloth, or which they knit into stockings. The women make their own dresses Often they make clothes for their husbands and sons. The men make wooden shoes for the family and house furni- ture and farming implements And the efficient Danes set Europe an OK ample of intensive farming and dairy-keeping. One result is that east of the Suez canal and south of the equator. Vast quantities of Danish butter are shipped into the British isles and to continental coun- tries. but the output is so great, the quality so high and the reputation of Danish butter so widespread that 1t finds customers in lands as remote from the Danish farms as Patagonia or Tahiti
 Jutland formerly was described by geographers as a sterile waste. It is now a scene of highly profitable farm ing The pastures are so small that every blade of grass must be turned into milk The farmers are so prOvi- dent that they tCther their cows in rows and allow them to crop the grass within reach, removing them to tho next uncropped grass the next day. and thus steadily moving each mead ow. When the far side of the plot of ground has been reached the grass upon the side at which the grazing was begun has grown enough Co be cropped again. The humidity in the atmosphere keeps Danish pastures green when those of many countries are parched, and the process Of mar keting grass as butter is not often in- terfered with by drouth.
 If the territory now under farm fences in America were as productive the farms of Denmark countless millions would be added to the wealth of the United States. If dairy farm ing were, upon the average American farm where a herd of milch COWS is kept. the scientific industry that it is upon the tiny Danish farms, this country would be exporting butter and other finished" products of tho farm to all parts of the globe and exporting less grain, which reflects soil depletion, while dairy farming causes soil enrichment and results in the farm being handed down from father to son richer for each genera tion's managemen or it as a pro- ductiVe enterprise.

WHAT THE PRIMARIES FAIL
 TO DO.

This time four years ago Presi- dential preference primaries were we'll up near the top of all important issues in the campaign. Much ora- torical fire was leveled against the old time method of selecting the nominees for the Presidency under the plea that the people practically had nothing to do with the selections. Because of this, preferential primaries were urged and the claim set up for them that they would bring the Presidency near CT the people. It was argued, and with much force, that this method would institute a more direct system of se- lecting the nominees. The same good words were spoken for the senatorial primaries. They were annointed the cure-all of political ills, confirmed as the panacea, the catholicon. Yet the nation has just come through an cpl demic of Presidential primaries and the situation is not at all cleared up; on the contrary it is more befogged than ever.
 The states that have held Presi- dential primaries succeeded in bring ing forth names for the Presidency in superabundance. The men who form have in some cases been sup planted by names of men holding aloof from the preliminary race. All sorts of conditions have been brought to bear on the case and the geo. graphical situation of any one state is enough to insure some radical change in the tentative program. Old time politicians like Senator Cummins have been superseded by Henry Fords, peace-at-any- price men, anybody with a slogan and a grievance against any regular platform. Some states have centered on one man, totally ignoring all others as in the case of Indiana, which cast it's entire primary vote for it's favorite son, Charles w. Fairbanks.
 These are the conditions prevailing after a liberal use of the primaries. Out of the maze that has settled over the country the names of Justice Hughes, Elihu Root, Theodore Roose- velt have been over and above all others, with the present day situation simmered down to Hughes and Roose- welt as the most discussed candidates in the Republican party Yet these same names have been beaten to frazzle in these states that have launched forth candidates of their own. So there is no judging the en- tire outcome by a study of the primaries. And it is doubtful II the people are any nearer to selecting the nominees for the presidency today than they were four years ago when the primaries were advocated as the proper solution of a time worn prOb- l ielh' On the contrary, the primaries seem to have neatly tied up traffic,
 to nave made it more difficult and ex- penSlye to choose men for office and

He advanced to the plate swinging three bats and wearing a confident smile on his face. The stands were in an uproar of enthusiasm. Sud- denly the umpire stepped forward and held up his hand.
