killed about five O'Clock last Tues
day afternoon. He had hauled a
load OF manure out TO the irrigating
ditch for the purpose of helping his
father construct levy. He went up
to the front OF the load to get his
fork when he became over balanced
and fell head first between the
horses. This frightened them and
they started off on a walk. The boy
fell In such position that the front
wheel did not strike him, but one Of
the hind wheels ran over him across
the chest. There was over q thou
sand pounds besides the weight OF
the manure spreader that passed ov-

spreaders have wide tires, doubtless
saved the boys life. He escaped
without any broken bones but Is In
iured internally. Word from the
Berry home last night stated the boy
was resting as easily as could be ex-
pected.

MEXICAN CRISIS PASSES.

The crisis in the Mexican situation
seems past. General Carranza seems
to have come to his senses. He now
offers the fullest cooperation With
the United States in running down
bandits, and even warns the border
forces of impending raids. If he had
talked t!-i% way some time ago lot
of trouble would have been saved
NIL around. His promises and prof
rers Of cooperation, however, must he
accepted with grain of salt. If
the Mexican people know how to be-
have themselves they have given lit
tie evidence Of the fact for some time
back. In the meanwhile, President
Wilson keeps up the war.

REAR RURAL LIFE AND "COUN-
TRY PLACES"
louisville Courier Journel.)

Romantic fiction has painted the
South as having been, before the war,
the scene of pretentious living upon
the great plantations. How simple
was rural life in the South in the
fifties compared with the country life
of the city magnates in the North at
the present time. How unpretentious
were the manor houses of the south
ern plantations by comparison with
the country places of the multimil-
lionaires of the business world. The
sale of the country estate of the late
Thomas b. Wannamaker, in Hunting
don Valley, near Philadelphia, n few
days ago was at figure not made
public. In realty circles in Philadel-
phia it is believed that the acres
containing the manor house and a
number of farm houses and farm
buildings sold for 100000 or more.
Gland in that section" says one of
the Philadelphia papers is valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000 an acre. At
the lower figure the estate would be
worth $630,000." AT $4,000 an acre
this 315 acre tract would approach
the million mark in value. The con-
trast between the lord of the manor
in the South and the slaves on the
plantation, one of color as we'll as
condition, served the need of the nov
clist better than the contrast between
the owners of million-dollar country
estates in Pennsylvania and the "wage
slaves" of their owners, but other
causes contributed to the making of
Romance. The literary by-product of
pretentious country life in the North
is oftcncr the output OF muck-ral-
ers than of romantics. The owners of
great estates are pictured oftener as
members of smart set than men,
bcrs of an aristocracy. Why Amcri-
can PALACES compared with which
manor houses in the slave-holding
south were simple farm houses, Of

munitions of war to be sold to the
allies.
To have done so, and placed an
embargo on shipments of arms to
England or any where else from the
United States by private individuals
or corporations. would have been
"a shameful surrender of sovereign
right" and would have been virtually
and practically violation of the laws of
neutrality. The arrival upon our
shores of German Merchantmen,
loaded with commodities which the
German people have to sell, and which
is needed here, and her return with
our goods which she needs, knocks
into cooked hat the fanciful ami
foolish argument, that the United
States is, or has been partial or I'M
neutral. The nations of the earth
alike are welcome to what we have if
they will come after it and take il
away on their account. Englands
blockade, so called, should not in any
wise, be charged against the United
States government.

SANE AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS.

The remark has been made fire.
quently of late: that the automobile
drivers are showing decided increase
in sanity and good sense in the man
ner in which they are driving their
cars. They are driving slower. There
is an absence of the rush and reck
less running of sometime ago The
car owners are learning that rcas-
enable speed of say, ten or twelve
miles per hour-fiften perhaps, is de
cidedly more pleasant and less dang
erous, and also saves the machine
from unnecessary wear. And in
cidentally, a car, going ~ miles per
hour, or even Is miles, does far less
injury to the roads. Slow down and
enjoy the ride, save the car, and per-
haps avoid serious accident.

WILSON WILL GET MICHIGAN
MOOSE VOTES.

A special dispatch from Deroit to
the New York World says:
"That the lack of Progressive
ticket will result in Democratic
victory in Federal, State and local
issues in Michigan by driving Bull
Moosers into the Democratic ranks, is
the belief of Henry NJ. Wallace, form
er Progressive National committee
man.
"Mr. Wallace says he has found the
Michigan Progressives almost unani-
mously opposed to the merger with the
Republicans and predicts that 100,-
900 votes will go to the Democrats if
the union is accomplished.
"The sentiment in favor ofan indie
pendent party in Michigan has led to
a move to GUST Gustavus ID. Pope,
present national committeeman, who
is alleged TO have aligned himself
with those in favor of the merger.

MONEY THAT DOES NO GOOD.

Mrs. Hetty Green, several times n
milllonair, died at her home in New
York last week and was buried with
only few relatives present - no
mourners outside of the immediate
family. The death of this wealthy
woman, who had been termed miser
by those familiar with her life, is n
matter of little consequence to fnan.
cal and society circles of New York
and of less import in the philanthrop
&c held OF the metropolis. Her mil
lions were horded and hidden from
tax collectors, and she has gone to
her last resting place without as
much as recital of a kind act or deed
she might have done in life.
One New York paper, in giving am
account of her death, alluded to her
as Great" which provoked severe
criticism from those who knew her
best. Greatness does not consist in
piliing up millions or thousands, even.
Real greatness consists in doing some
thing for your fellow, TO alleviate
Observation-Disclosures, charity, even in
a limited field of action.
1t is best to try to live that the
world about you will miss you; your
nelghbors, and those less fortunate
than you will weep that you are gone
Build some monument that posterity
may point to your life as one worthy
of imitation.

THAT TAZEWELL AVENUE
DITCH.

The town council has had recent
ly force of men under Sergeant
Thompson, cleaning the mud, grass
and weeds from the ditch" on TaZe-
we'll Avenue. The accumulation of
mud washed down by the recent
rains, was thick and deep, and a heavy
team was hired to haul it off after
being piled up by the men employed.
This work has been repeated for the
last 20 years, every year or so, and
Immediately the ditch begins to
fill up with mud again, and over
grow with weeds and grass. One Won
ders why the town council will con-
tinue this expense, slip shod business,
by which the revenues of the town are
wasted.
More than once it has been point
ed out by men Of judgment and ex-
perience, that the proper thing to do
with the drainage on Tazcwcll Avenue,
is, either to put in a large sewer pipe
and cover the whole business over, or
else put down concrete guttering and
be done with it, This would be cheap
er and more business like all the way
through. But, it seems that the coun
Gil prefers to do patch work, and
continue it indefinitely. Every year
that ditch becomes an eyesore and
Il menace to the health of the com
munity as well. Some day it will
be fixed right, once for all,

RING THE BELL.

This paper has had occasion more
than once TO insist that motormen
ring their bell when rounding curves
and approaching crossings. Several
narrow escapes have been made from
serious accidents due perhaps to the
carelcssncss Of auto drivers, who did
not see or hear the car. The street
car Company will guard its own inter
ests as we'll rs that of others, by using
the bell as signal and warning. The
bell was put on the car to be used
thus. Ring Loud.

DEMoCRACY's STRONGEST ARMS
(From the New York Worldly

NIiOltt OIIc lNcW YIN NOIlu.J
Nowhere on earth is it more posi-
Bile to find more impressive example
of democracy than that furnished by
the public schools of the United
States. The American public school
is more democratic that the American
ballot-boX. To promote and pcrpet-
uatc democracy, it is sustained by
property and the children Of poverty
arc are instructed side by side with
the children of wealth. The American
people pay more than half billion
dollars yearly for this first raining
in democracy.
Nowhere on earth is it possible to
find Il newspaper press so generally
independent, enterprising and pains
taking as that of the United States.
In most cases its great resources are
generously used. In its search for
truth it spares neither men nor mon
cy. There are exceptions, of course,
but in the main. American Journal
ism is tire!css not only in pursuit of
fact but in its warfare upon error.
The press also is Il citadel of dem
Ccracy.
If it is Prof. Nearing's purpose to
justify the action of the University
of Pennsylvania in dropping him from
it's faculty for frivolous uttcrances,
he must have succeeded to some eX-
tent when he told tn eNational Edu-
cation Association that our public
schools are organized plutocracics and
our newspapers have deliberately sup
pressed and misreprcscntcd news re-
gardinG the German side in this war
in order to promote preparedness.
1t will interest the propertyless
immigrant arriving in America and
finding free schools open to his chill
dren, with lncheons, clohting, books,
and dental and medical attention pro-
vidcd in many cases, to learn that all
this is due to an insolent and de-
vouring plutocracy. Extreme individ-
ualists, sometimes d. the plutocratic
type, have occasionally pronounced our
public school system glaringly social
istic, but we never before heard that
it was monopolistic and plutocratic---
an engine of destruction in the hands
Of business, big and little, which foots
all the bills.
SO also intelligent readers of news
papers will be surprised TO learn that
the present impulse in behalf of ma
tional defense is due to ignorance
and misrepresentation. The scrap of
paper which should have safeguard
ed Belgium was not torn up in the
dark. The Lustania, protected also
by scrap of paper. was not n mys-
terry of the sea. The plots against
American industry, life and property
for which about one hundred men are
now serving penal sentences or are
awaiting trial were not executed in 4
corner; OH the contrary. the paid
agents of aliens responsible for them
hoastcd for u season of their activi-
~. Americans are preparing for de-
Tense not through their own blindness
and folly but on the enlightened con-
viction, supported by the incontcsta-
bic evidence that they are living in n
world which for the moment offers no
guarantee of security except by force.
The most powerful arms of Ameri-
can democracy are the free schools
and the free press. Both should
welcome fair and wholesome criti-
cism. 70 assail them falsely is to
strike at the very foundations of the
Republic.
