Crossing the Border.

It's Blue Bonnets Over the Border and
Away" Thus rang the old Scotch song
when the Highland raiders rode down on
England, centuries ago. Red from the Cape
to Cairo" shouted Jameson's rough riders
as they galloped over the vedt just few
years agone, the raid in the Boer Land, in
South Africa. The Boer stopped DR.. jane
son for the time, but it was not many years
later until Lord Roberts rode into Pretoria
at the head of a cOnQuering British army,
and the dream of Jameson, Cecil Rhodes
and others was realized. From Cairo to
Cape the map was made Red-the British
red-and that is its color now
In the fullness of time another border
has just been crossed-the imaginary line
that divides Mexico and the United States
and by a military expedition, United States
soldiers. when will you cross the Dor
der?" was a question asked of officers and
soldiers, and many are said to have replied
Amy day; and We are going to take up
the border and carry it with US. ThereU
not be a border after we start" Bravado
in those words but they are significant for
they reveal the thought in the mind of the
enthusiastic young soldier marching under
Old Glory into an alien land. The words
told not only what was in his mind, but
what must be in many-that the crossing
into Mexico is the beginning of the end.
The border of the past seventy years to
be obliterated, moved further south-mov-
ed to Panama That is the vision of Ulti-
mate Destiny that some Americans have
preached Is General Pershing's column
merely a punitive expedition" or is it in
vasion, the prelude to occupation and DOM
nation American control in Mexico in be-
half Of peace and order there? If we re-
store order there can We stop at that?
These are the thoughts and questions that
press for answer as one thinks of what
we are doing and may do in Mexico
Another chapter Of history may be open
ing with this crossing into Mexico. No man
can venture TO predict what the outcome
may be, but who can wonder that there is
such general belief that this is a fateful
move-that the flag raised in Mexico just
a week ago Will not be furled or leave there
for many year, if at all

The Black Sea Fleet.

That Russia has an army has been patent

fighting. Sometimes, as at present in the
Caucasus, it has been disastrously evident
to those who have opposed the huge ma

That Russia also has navy, however,
seems to have been almost lost sight of. In
the early days of the attempt to force the

enough of a part to creep into the press dis

The Eternal Drama.

AS you sit by the'fire with your hearts red
desire
Can you read what the flame fingers write?
Doesn't each Iurid coal show the ultimate
goal
OF the game you are playing tonight?
You would know, were you wise, that as
each one dies
SO must you, and the love that you bear;
But the ashes of gray will sleep on for aye
In the chill-enwrapped heart Of despair.
So be happy and gay, it may be but a day
Till the fires of your being CONCEAL,
For the streaked aureole round her gossa-
mer soul
You have bartered a precious ideal.
And the vows that seem true, if you only
but knew.
Have proved false in this ages long past.
It's the same tragic play in the same comic
way,
But it's staged with a different cast.

Fine and Dandy, This.

The supreme court of Arkansas has ruled
that woman is justified in inficting cor
poral punishment on a man who annoys her
by attempting Irritation Not only is this
true, says that supreme court, but the wo-
man is entitled to recover damages in this
instance from the railroad on one of whose
trains the incident occurred.
According to the testimony in the case a
male passenger, standing in the aisle of the
car, winked at a woman and threw kisses
at her Not content with having gone to
that extent he approached the woman The
latter had evidently been a reader of war
dispatches regarding the tactics of the
French at Verdun, and calmly awaited the
approach of the enemy. When he got in
firing distance she fred-with umbrella
breaking it over his head.
Then she sued the railroad for damages
and was awarded $3.50 by a jury. The rail
road appealed to the supreme court. which
affirmed the verdict from below.
It is uncertain what salutary effects upoI
flirting the woman's attack with the um
brella will have, or upon the railroads. Pas
senger conductors will probably keep thei
weather eye open for male firts after this
but II would seem entirely reasonable t
suspect that the man concerned in the cas-
will proceed with extraordinary caution
heneeforth and forever when he feels a
inclination to firt with passengers O

The Cheapness of Human Life.

the preteXt of being Human, the business
an officer of the manager Of the jack
navy. lsOnyille Iimes-Unlon.
Commenting on the above two items which
were printed on opposite pages of the At
lanta Constitution the same day, the SaVan-
nah Press rightfully says they present food
for reflection. Read together, says the
Press, they show how prone We are to
place the value of money above the value
of human life. Frederick E. Peters, a sol
der, is given a ten years sentence because
he impersonated an officer in the United
States army and through such fraudulent
impersOnatiOn secured a sum of money. On
the other hand, Geo. B. Perkins ran amuck
on a crowded steamer at sea and killed a
splendid business man. If We remember
correctly he also wounded the captain of
the ship so badly that for time his life
was despaired of. And for this crime he
gets three years in the same prison where
the soldier who said he was an officer of
the navy when he wasn't gets term of ten
years. 1t is such instances as these occur
ring day after day in the courts of the cOun-
try that discourage the average Individual
when the courts are considered in connec-
ton with Justice.
Our Savannah contemporary might have
gone further and said that in the above two
news items can be found one of the eXplana-
tons for the mob eyil-the eXaltation of
money above human life. There is no doubt
that human life is not as sacred in this coun-
try as it once was. 1t is entirely too cheap,
and it has come to pass that it is harder to
convict a person Of murder than of almost
any other crime; and in cases where conyic-
tions are had greater efforts are made to get
man-sayers out of the penitentiary than for
any other class of criminals.

The Longing For Riches.
From the South Georgia Progress.

Why should you care to be pestered with
a large bank account or distressed with a
house full of servants? Adam and Eve mad
neither of these and so they called their
place Paradise. Few people have learnd
the true secret of living well Too many
think it depends almost wholly on the cOndl-
ton Of the pOcketbOok.
How mistaken, Happiness is born of
material or outward conditions. 1t IS largely
the result of a purely mental process.
Amid the duller threads of duty it is well
to weave one brighter strand of desires.
Mix a little sunshine with your daily food.
You can soften the sound of cab or car on
stony street by calling to memory bird S
song heard in the fields on a summer after
noon in childhood. 1t is sWeeter to your
souI-if you have One-than is the rumble
of a railroad that you own yourself.
Take a day off and go out to some Gene
terry, where you may reflect on the breYty
of life and the insuficency of things per
tanning to the pocketboOk. 1t is better that
YOU go before it comes your turn to ride
out there in the big plumed hack that never
hauls it's load back again. Don't wait until
you own your own private automobile 10
while you are able to walk and to think.
From the dead you may learn much OF
life. Scan all the virtues INSCRIBED upon all
the headstones by loving hands and among
them all you will not find recorded the pos
session of a million dollars or docked-talI-
ed horse. The headstones tell you only OF
things worth while
