Passing of a Great Race by Madison
Grant, warranted by the demand for
the book in its original form, deserves
the attention of all interested in the

us that if the melting pot is allowed to
boil without control the type Of Amcri-

extinct as the Athcnian Of the age of

ment felt against Bulgaria, particular lv bv Serbs and Greeks, iS intense. The part a pro-Geman king and an equ' ally antinational military clique play ed in dragging the BulgarS into the war in the side of the central powers will not soon be forgotten. Even to- day the able Greek statesman, M. Ven iZeloS, admOniShCS the peace confer once to beware of the PruSSianS oi the Balkans" and to decide every boundary question against them In deed. it has been proposed by Hr',a'n and France that the Bulgarian as we | aS the Turkish parts of Thrace be glY- cn to Greece, that the Dobrogca bH ccdcd Co Roumania and that ScrO'a and Greece absorb Macedonia. Thus one-halr the Bulgar race, it is cStimat- cd would become the subjects of alien governments, and Bulgaria would b. cut off from the Aegean Eea.
 NJ. Vcnizelos is a leading fig1 Q 'n the peace conference and his VIev s carry much weight there, He has strong British support and can count on French sympathy as well; for the fear that Bulgaria will again become m instrument of Germany is nev"" lost sight of by the ''nlomateS "t western Europe. Yet it would he {" grave blunder to permit hatred ar anger against Bulgaria to control te'- ritorial decisions in the Balkans. T" disregard racial claims is to giv' Bulgaria real grievencc and invit the very plotting that is feared.
 Bulgarian statesmen and soldie' have many sins to answer for, but the people should not be crushed for those sins. and the intrigueS of Austria and Russia at the expense of Bulgaria should not be left out of the reckon inc. If Bulgaria today is willing to ac- ccnt and offer justice, to abide by tn . results of an honest plcbiScite in any area to which rival claims are advanc- cd. the Paris conference cannot cor- SiStcntlv OF ratonally subject 1t 'o what Mr. Bass and others describe aI territorial amputatonS indefenSiblc un' der any principle profeSScd by the d. lied and associated powers.

BNLkINS DISPOSAL

Competent observers agree that the Balkans will continue Co menace the peace of Europe amt of the world, de- spite any settlements that may be reached in Paris and regardless Of the best efforts of a league of nations, un- less the territorial questions between Bulgaria and its ncighborS are adjust ed in reasonable harmony with just principles rather than on the basis ot lame compromises or secret diplomacy bargains.
 Surely the history of the last hun drcd years affords sufficient warnings against the policy of mere grab in tn near aas;. Safety henceforth must be Sough; in the wise application to thu" whole Balkan peninsula of the doc trinc of racial and national Self-deter- mination It should be the special mi&- sion of the American peace delegation in Paris, as Mr Bass pointed out some time ago in several significant cable dispatches to The Daily News, to SO cure by diSintcrcSted guiadance gcnu- inc justification in the Balkans if not to lay the foundation for eventual fcd- cration of the Balkan countries,

SUBSTITUTE
 FOR SALOON
 PROSPEROUS

SAN FRANCISCO Aug" % ln certain of the smaller towns in the interior of California there are growing up small places of business that. in the opinion of some observ- CTS. may prove to contain the solu- tion in part of the problem of q substitute for the saloon as gath ering place for men.
 William V. Cowan, secretary ot the California State Council of De- fense and organizer of the state wide system of community councils, when speaking along this line, said that he regarded some of these little business centerS that had come under his notice as significant, for

the reason that, while they retained the locations and clientele Of the saloon. they differed from the saloon in the absence of intoxicating liquors and the evil atmosphere engcndereo by the trade intoXicants.
 Real Social Centers.
 "Thcse places" said Mir. Cowan' ";nstead of selling liquor, deal in candy, peanuts, soft drinks, ice cr,am. and varied assortment or l,ricknocks and small articles. But that is not all there is to the matter If that were all, there would be nothinc notable about it as there al way havr been many places of th'S k,nd. The point is that the men who run these places at least those tLat have come to my attentlon' have succeeded in making their ploces real social centerS, places whore the men congregate just aS they did in the saloon. The pro prietors of these little institutions if they may so be called, seem, con sciously or mconsciouSly, to hav' made study of the need of their little communities for places "' neighborly congregation, and to nave learned how to supply that nee'' For example, they keep informed on matters of interest to the farmers who como in from the country roun@ about. and thus furnish an induce . r,cnt for these visitors to drop m r,, a chat.

 The Motion Picture House
 What is taking the place Of the saloons in the cities is perhaps not so apparent, because of the more complex and diversified conditions of city life. According to the ob- se,vations of one worker who IS in T position to study developments or this kind. however. the institution that is taking the place of the saloon in San Francisco is the motion pie trrc house. In fact, according to th's authority, the picture theatre has also been one of the causes for the abandonment of the saloons. For while San Francisco is still wet city, many saloons have recently been given up on account of lack of patronage, this being attributed fp the attractivenesS of the motion pl2- ure house as a place of entertain ment and congregation.
 While the motion picture house. as now conducted, is not adapted to serve as a social center, this ob- server believes that it contain great possibilities in that direction. He said that his experience had led him to believe that if the right pictures were selected, and proper equip- ment were supplied for informal so- cial intercourse, centers could congra- gate in a way that would have far reaching and beneficial effect.

ty Commissioners, tax not in ex
cess of sixty five cents on the hun

The act further provides that
the county shall assume the pay
ment of principal and interest OF
all bonds or notes now outstand-
ing and unpaid, which have here
tofore been issued by any town
ship in Halifax County for road
purposes, and that the principal
and interest shall hereafter be
paid out of the fund derived by
the county.
This is the practical text Of the
two acts on which the people are
asked to vote next month, and
the same appear clear cut and
practical.
It is an acknowledged fact that
little or no work has been done
of a permanent nature on the
roads Of the county, in fact there
has not been enough convict la
Dor to make the necessary repairs
in so large a county, so that new
work has been at a standstill for
a long time.
i Under this bill the road con-
struction will be unified and
work can proceed in any and all
parts Of the county by the en-
ployment Of free labor as well as
the utilization Of whatever con-
vict labor there may be.
It is certain that improvements
are necessary in Halifax county,
especially insofar as the bridges
are concerned and though the PEG

only feasible one to raise the a.

next election being members Of
the present road commission.
These are Messrs A. P. Kitchin, J.

The purpose Of the special ell
ectlon to be held the first Tues

amounts as they may deem best,
