The Passing Of the Fire Engine
Horse.-Of course it is all right; 1t
had to come; we knew years ago the
horse would be displaced to some extent
by the motors-and so recorded it.
But the passing of the last horse from
the fire department Of this city-well,
things amt what they used to be in
this old town"
And what kind of boys are they
going to raise in the future? That is,
what kind of man will develop from a
boy who never saw pair of fire en-
CINE horses rushing madly down the
street at brealineck speed? 1t wasn't
really breakneck speed, of course; it
only seemed so. Any boy could him
self follow the engine and keep up
with il, but-speed? Why, all of us
have imagined that galloping horses
jumping almost straight up and down
and hauling an engine at the rate OF
eight miles an hour were the fastest
things on earth.
There isn't any more fun in the
world for the boy who knew the fire
engine horses by name, now that they
have motorized" the fire department.
There is something about the very
name that isn't sentimental. "Motoriz-
ed" indeed! What about the "old bay

ARABS PLAYED BIG ROLE.
Had Only University in the World in
Dark Ages.

Few realize the greatness OF the role
played by the Arabian culture through
the Dark Ages. AS Mr.. Gibran told
his interviewer the other day; I'm the
century after Mohammed, the Arabs
composed the greatest empire in the
history of the world-from within go
miles of Paris to the heart Of China.
And with it grew the learning and the
literature of the people. At that time
they had the only universities in the
world They knew that the earth was
round long before Calico; in the tow
ers Of their churches were telescopes;
later, when the Spanish came, and
conquered, they replaced them with
church bells.
when all Europe was dark, in the
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth centuries, the
Arabs had a school of translators of
Greek philosophy. The Book OF Job,
for instance, is an Arabic work, trans
lated and adopted by the Hebrews" 1t
was their religion that forbade their
sculpturing and painting of natures
forms, but still these arts have gone in
to the conventional patterns Of rug
weaving. In music, as we'll as poet
ry," said Mr.. Gibran, 1.-The Arabs have
made themselves felt in the western
world. The songs Of southern Russia,
for example, would be well understood
and enjoyed by my people, their orr
gin being often Arabic. Tchaikovsky
and Verdi have felt his influence;
Aida is composed Of Arabic motifs
Italianized Debussy told me that he
too, had taken our motifs and bull
upon them some of his works"
| But the adaptability of the Arabs is
the great hope for Mesopotamia ant
the rest under the coming new order
Mr.. Gibran says that there is hardly
an educated man in Syria who does MOI
know English and French besides hi
own language. I'm Syria and Egyp
we know Dante, Shakespeare, Hugo
the French poets from Villon to Mae
terlinck," he says; land it would no
surprise me if a survey Of how widel!
Shakespeare is known among us were

you do, if not more"

Luther Horton, a well-to-do farm
er of Kershaw, was killed last Friday
by Nose Witherspoon, a negro renter
on a place belonging to his father, near
Kershaw. Full particulars of the kill
ing have not been obtainable; but the
understanding is that Horton went to
the negro's house to demonstrate with
him in connection with a question OF
leaving the premises. Witherspoon
shot Horton through the head and ran
away. At last accounts he was being
pursued in a sparsely settled section OF
the county over in the neighborhood
of Great Catawba Falls.

WAR BLOWN TO ISLAM.
Mohammedans Lost Heavily to Chris
tians in Great Conflict

| IdHS STedI SOHTllCt
| One of the most striking results Of
,..e world war is the new prestige
with which Christianity, as world reli-
gion energies. 1t Is true, as Judge Wes-
ley o. Howard of Troy, N. Y, points out
an article in the New York Herald, that
the gigantic conflict was in no sense a
religious war. Christians and Mo-
hammedans, on one side, fought
other. The struggle was primarily be-
tween Christian nations. In the aggre-
gate, however, and as an incident Of
the war, Christianity has made i'm
hammedanism.
The three great centers of Islamism,
Jerusalem, Bagdad and CONSTANT
nople, have fallen into Christian hands.
Judge Howard tries to envisage for us
the significance Of this one fact.
There will, Of course, be absolute
freedom of religious worship in all
the conquered lands Of the Turkish
territories, and the Mussulman will
by as much at liberty to cry out to
Allah as ever he was: nevertheless,
the dethronement of Moslem rulers
and the exaltation of Christian gov
ernors will exert a deep influence
upon the minds of the Mohammedan
peoples. And the advantages and Sc
curity of the Christian civilization will
have tendancy at least to incline
them toward the superior civilization.
Moreover, their communities will be
invaded by groups of Christian colo
nists, secure now against Turkish out
RACES and oppression, and there will
be intermingling Of family and bus
mess interests.
industrial enterprises, stimulated
by western zeal and money, will spring
up in Jerusalem, Tarsus, Damascus,
Bagdad and other Mohammedan cities,
and revolutionize the customs of the
people. Commercial houses and man
ufacturing establishments will be built,
railroads will be stretched, mines de-
veloped and wells bored, and all these
enterprises will be directed and flnan-
ced by the people Of Christian nations"
But most destructive of all to the
power Of Mohammedanism is the. de-
feat of the sultan of Turkey. This
Ottoman monarch was head of the
Moslem church. His person sacred in
the eyes of every Mussulman, and his
debasement and impotence must con-
vuIse Mohammedanism to the founda- |
ton and shake even the fanatic faith
Of the /Islamites.

Are Women Honest.-A friend has
sent us a pamphlet, entitled Are Wo-
men Honest?" The purpose Of the
/, document and what 1t is about we dc
not know and shall not know, as il
was Immediately thrown away. Any
writing that seeks our attention with
such a question is not pursued.
OF course women are honest-and
under the most trying temptations.
Even If they were not more inherently
honest than men their religion would
cause them to be honest in most cases
Women take their religion seriously
as they should. They believe in fu-
ture rewards and punishments to a
greater extent than do men. They are
more sentimental, and sentimentality
is at the bottom of honesty if you
please.
If women were not honest, half the
husbands in the land would be robbed
every night of the money in their pock-
cts. Probably about that per cent of
the husbands of the country do not
take the pains to inquire if their wives
need money, and large number Of
those who do inquire give grudgingly
and only when they feel compelled to
do so. Men, AS rule, are more liberal
with everybody else in the, world than
with their wives.
The large employers of this country
will tell you that women are more hon.
est than men. They are more con-
scientious, as a rule in regard to their
work-and that is. certainly matter
of honesty. Even the I. w. w. doesn't
try to induce women to practice sab
otage knowing that the women would
not respond to their inducements. So
with all of this knowledge in our pos
session. we have no desire to read a
pamphlet that asks the question right
in the beginning, Are Women Hon.
