The Hunters Moon Near.
Soon It VIII Shine Over Landscapes
OF Falling Leaves.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The sun
has entered the sign OF the constellation
Libra, and 1t is now crossing the con-
stellation Of Virgo, Summer is indeed
over real autumn has begun.
The moon has entered upon its first
quarter, and soon It will become the full
hunters moon of October. Presently II
will shine over landscapes OF falling
leaves. Silvery crescent, the moon is,
like our earth. tiny satellite of a
titanic sun
The sun is millions and millions OF
miles distant from its terrestrial satel-
lite. The moon Is thousands and thou
sands of miles distant from our earth.
When our moon is nearest to us she is
In perigee: when furthest from US in
apogee. Her average distance from our
world approximates $4,000 miles.
Despite the fact that the moon ap-
pears fundamentally to be about as large
as the sun. her diameter Is only 2.16S
miles. That is.Ishe possesses one-forty-
ninth of our earth's volume. Accord
ingly, inasmuch as It would take forty
nine such moons to make one earth and
inasmuch as 1t would take about 1,300,-
900 earths to make one sun, then our sun
approximates body sixty-four million
times larger than our moon!

October.

This is the month of the falling
leaf and the campaign speech; Of the
empurpled grape and the new fall
suit; of the golden pumpkin and the
political pumpkin head; of the ripe
chestnut and the rare old roorback; |;
of the soft cider and the hunters
uoon: Of the starlit sky and the
empty coal bin; of the ruddy apple
and the srouting Congressman; of
the world series and the cracking
logs. There is but one October. with
its frosts on ground and political
boom, its air, defiantly winelike, and
It's magic effect ON the mind of man,
causing him to turn away from
thoughts of wealth that his vision
may encompass the prospect, loom
ing on hopes horizon, of buckwheat
cakes with sausage or vice versa.

appeal of friends and the State au-
thorities. he sent representatives OF
his herd this year to the State fair
at Lewiston. where they made a
clean score.
The Holsteins from Eastman Hill
were so good in fact that they were
sent as a State exhibit to the fair at
Springfield, the greatest live stock
fair of New England. A blue won at
Springfield is the highest honor that
can come to a breeder this side of
Chicago.
Mr.. EAsTMAN's achievement In
winning the grand championship at
Springfield with a two-year-old bull
of the Pontiac tribe ever almost fifty

what winning the $4,000 Futurity
stakes is among horse breeders.
Maine DEVELOPED him, however, and
it Is to the live stock industry of
Maine that his blood should be Of
greatest benefit.

Peter Manning Trots in 1:57.

In trotting to a record of 1857 at
Columbus on Thursday Peter Man
ming gave additional evidence of the
quality which has put him at the top
Of the ladder. He is the champion
harness horse of the world, with none
in sight to dispute his honors as
long as he stays sound.
His nearest rival at present is the
mare Medina, 1894, a product OF w.
Il. DIcKERMAN's Hillandale Stud in
Westchester county, but, good and
game as she is, there is little pros
pect that the daughter Of Atlantic
Express will ever equal the mark
hung up by the great young gelding
IN the stable Of TOMMY MURPHY.
Two seconds is an almost insur-
mountable barrier once two minutes
is passed. And besides, there is a
chance that Peter Manning may beat
his own time of 1857 at Lexington
in October. He might have beaten
il at Columbus but for a break in
the home stretch.
Gradually the trotting gait Is being
implanted In this. American breed
of horses, just as the instinct to gal
lop is bred in the thoroughbred.
Some day a trotter may turn a mile
in 1850.

Senator Lodge on the Turks.

If he was correctly quoted in the
news dispatches Senator LODGE de-
nounced Turkey before Boston au-
dience on Friday as "the curse of
modern civilization" and said he
prayed the Turk would be driven
out of Europe"
Undoubtedly Senator LODGE spoke
not as the chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations in the
United States Senate but as an
American citizen. But whether he
spoke as the one or the other, If he
characterized Turkey as the curse Of
civilization the great mass of the
American people agree with him.
And II Senator LODGE gave express
sion to his own prayers that the
Turk would be driven out of Europe
he again gave expression to the SEN
tlment of the American people. They
cannot comprehend why Europe toll
Grated the Turk so long as Europe
did tolerate him. They cannot COM
rrehend why Europe should now let
him come back.
The Turk never again should be
permitted to rule an inch Of terri
tory west of the Dardanelles.

Mesopotamia-Islam itself is the las
to believe that its civilization is dead
and incapable of development.
Again Mohammedanism is more
than a religion OF a creed, it is a
social system with its own art, cul-
ture and philosophy. Here is per
haps the quality that has not only
kept 1t alive but has tended to in
crease it's growth in the lands to
which Moslem missionaries have car
ried 1t. The world first noted the
awakening of Islam at the time that
the Japanese victories over Russia
in the Russo-Japanese war began to
produce a profound impression upon
the Far East and central Asia.
The West has helped in an unusual
and perhaps unexpected way in this
revival of Islam. The European.
by carrying his own modern inven-
tions and his methods of promoting
civilization and communications,
taught the Moslem their advan-
tages and uses. He abandoned his
caravans for railroads, he made use
of the telegraph and telephone, and
he established newspapers and libra
ries. Moslem communities were
drawn more closely together and the
press at Cairo, Constantinople and
Calcutta spread the news of, Islam
throughout the Moslem world.
The effect of these means Of COM
munication between the different
parts of Islam and the spread of the
news of the world among the people
has been to lessen the influence of
the Moslen fanatic. This was shown
in the world war. Turkey sent its
emissaries into India, the Sudan
and Egypt to stir up rebellion against
Great Britain. Their effort failed be-
cause the Mohammedans refused to
accept these men as inspired teachers.
Thus when MoHAMMED V. declared
his holy war it failed of its purpose
and Great Britain retained the 10y
atty of the great bulk of her Moham-
medan population.
And If KEMAL were to try to arouse
the Moslems of the British Empire
in his defense he would unquestion-
ably meet with the same difficulty.
Great Britain may have forfeited
some of the high regard in which
she was held by Islam when she
joined Russia in the administration
of Persia and when she took over
the Government Of Egypt. But she
still stands in such relation to the
Moslems of the British Empire that
they would accept her rule rather
than the uncertainties of rule by
their Mohammedan politicians. SYM
pathy for Turkey is one thing; fight
ing against their own Government to
lift KEMAL into power is another.

Men Who Make Languages.

shootin' off their faces about purity,
style and all them fool notions? NO. It

want and say what they mean. Them's
the men that makes languages. not these
here high fiiers. them chaps with soft
voices talking about quiddities and en-
titles and chewing about lawn tennis un-
der pink shades to the sound Of the
wimmen's chatter.
II they would let English alone Il
would have some muscle and beef on its
bones in a few years and every few
miles they would have a new kind OF
talk. just like 1t used to be when fellers
said what they meant and TO suit their
selves before lawn tennis and pink
shades come to pass and when there was
no softies TO please the wimmen.
They was the sort that made lam
guages, them chaps that wouldn't talk
to suit book or because ono of the
softies said that this was right and that
was wrong. God bless the feller that
talks wrong he made tho languages and
nobody else. And what's the use? "r

What Modest Yachting Costs.

That paying bills is not all Of
yachting has been made evident
lately, and with special significance,
by the national series of races of the
star class boats sailed on the waters
of Long Island Sound, where the type
had it's origin eleven years ago.
Here is a type of yacht. % feet
in length and 5 feet inches beam,
which is practically unsinkable, has a
knockabout rig easily handled by one
man, and has achieved such favor
that it is now seen on the Eastern
seaboard, on the great lakes and on
the Pacific coast as we'll as on waters
less extensive and renowned. It's
numbers have grown so that ma
tional organization was formed this
year with 10S boats registered, and
this does not represent all of the type
in commission, for there are many
unattached star class boat sailors the
country over.
The handiness, safety, speed and
low cost, both primarily and in up
keep, of the star class boat have been
the contributing factors toward its
success. The first boats built cost
$3.50 complete, and the manner Of
their construction is shown by the
fact that the earliest of the type, the
famous Taurus, was the winner OF
the national series of races in the
third week in September. Nowadays
one of these craft costs from $500 to
$3.50. But once they are completed
and launched their upkeep is very
small, for it is q one man job to get
them ready for a seasons racing in
the spring, and except for an occa-
sional new suit of sails and new rig
ging they are good for many years
OF sailing.
They can also be credited with be-
ing link in the chain that helps to
bind together the widely separated
men and boys Of the United States.
When we have boats from Lake Erie
and Los Angeles racing on Long
Island Sound we have force, slight
though 1t may seem, that binds to-
gether men who possibly in no other
way would feel such solidarity as
do the devotees OF this modest form
of yachting. The star class boats
exert a wholesome influence on the
sport and on goodfellowship.

Voices.

The voices OF the living world are mocls4
ing me with laughter,
The voices of the buried dead are
mocking me with pain.
'Tis must leave the homes OF men and
up and follow after
A, little voice. a quiet voice. that whis-
pers in the rain.
That whispers In the silver rain and
calls me in the swaying
or branches lightly held aloft against
tranquil sky.
That breathes upon troubled lake
where little winds are playing
And let's the trembling wonder grow
in ripples running by.
The words OF men. too bold they are, too
swiftly heard and spoken
1 have no need Of Joy. or grief. or
wisdom born of thesel
But shall find haven where the hush
Is only broken
BY tho echo Of little volce--the gos-
sip Of the trees.

The Great Artist.

Deep in the cool heart Of a hidden dell.
Beside silver toned waterfall
Where summer winds sang low. there
came the call
OF autumn, sweet as Is twilight bell:
Then glad September's spirit wove its
spell.
When the great sun arose and smiled
on all.
The fragrant forest world flashed like
OF fame, the autumn artist painted we'll.
Deep In the forest OF the hearts OF men.
WELDING a brush OF love and tender
ness,
Thus to adorn the soul with fairer
hue,
Works the Great Artist for the sunrise
when
His task shall be complete and man
express
Like the bright wood the beautiful
and true.

Governor Against Governor.

The voters of New York are espe-
cially fortunate this fall in having
before them as candidates for Gov
ernor two known quantities.
AL SMITH has served the people
of this State one term as Governor;
NATHAN l.. MILLER is now complet-
ing his first term of service as Gov
ernor.
The work Of each is an open book
to all. And 'by their fruits ye shall
know them"
AS to the relative fitness of these
two men for the Governorship of
New York there need be no guessing
There never was cleaner cut issue
presented to any body of voters than
this Miller-Smith issue. 1t is ques-
tion of man against man, achieve
against service, and that is all there
is of it.
1t is fortunate thing for the
people when, as in this case, they can
compare achievement with achieve
ment in the same office and for prac-
tically the same length of time.
Reaching conclusions from this
measurement, and it is the only
measurement that counts for much,
THE New YORK HERALD sees MILLER
looming large beside his opponent
and this is no reflection against AL
SMITH, for it sees MILLER as the
soundest and clearest thinker and
sblest all round executive, of COM
mon sense and business sense and
rare courage, that has been COM
mandeered for high public office in a
quarter of a century.

The Theater Accounted For,
Its First Object Is to Supply Enter
tainment to the Public.

To The New York HERALD: have
in the last three or four weeks been
reading much about "what the theater
stood for what the theater was
meant TO stand for" &C. Everybod- :
seems TO have a different opinion, from
those who are deeply initiated in our
profession to those who live OH the
fringe of it.
AT luncheon here recently listened
to a discourse for about forty minutes
from man who said that the thealer
should begin with art, Art with a biz.
A, and at the end OF this discourse 4
came TO the conclusion that it had en- !
tirely slipped away from the minds ofi
the people interested IN the theater that
entertainment should be it's first object.

Words of a Famous Verse.

In letter to the London Times on
the anniversary this year of the call
to arms in England in 1914 Sir
CHARLES BALANCE, referring to the
splendid valor and patriotic service of
citizen soldiers who responded, and
to the memory of the heroic dead,
quoted from THEODORE O'HARA's ia
nous poem, "The Bivouac of the
Dead" His quotation was as fol-
lows:
"On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn sound
The bivouac of the dead"
This brought forth food of COM
munications to the Times in correc-
ton of the quotation. A letter from
THOMAS SAVAGE, published the next
day, said 'the evergreen quatrain is
misquoted," and added that the third
and fourth lines should be,
And glory guards with solemn
mound
The bivouac of the dead"
The letter of another correspon-
dent, A. r. STEELE, was published the
next day. He said that the third line
should be
"And glory guards with solemn
round"
He acknowledged, however, that he
might be wrong, but said that "at
any rate it seems more sensible than
either sound or mound
On the third day after the publi-
cation of Sir CuARLEs's letter wis
iting American" w. SETON GORDON,
corrected both Sir CHARLES and
his corrector, Mr.. SAVAGE. He agreed
with Mr.. STEELE that the authorized
version read
"And glory guards, with solemn
round,
The blvouac Of the dead"
He said that the allusion was plain
and that 1t referred to the measured
tread OF a sentry around a military
burial ground.
Mr.. SAVAGE, the corrector of Sir
CHARLES BALANCE, declared that
"Sir CHABLEs's ldpsus cdlani may be
pardoned; even the standard refer
ence books display no uniformity in
reproducing the appropriate word"
The poem was written by Major
O'IIRA on the occasion of the re-
moval OF the remains Of the Ken
tucky soldiers who fell at Buena
Vista in February. 1S47. for renter
ment in their native State. The
American authorities apparently do
not differ but agree upon the ver-
sion of the third line as given by
Mr.. GoRDoN:
"And glory guards. with solemn
round"
This is the reading in the books
OF quotations edited by JOHN BART.
