Jameson raid sent out almost as
many war clouds as the Balkans.
The Gladstone adjustment with the
Beers in 1881. after Majuba Hill, was
with the purpose of bringing lasting
quiet between the Beers and the Brit
Uitlanders. Relations became strained
to the danger point in the early 90s,
and the Jameson rNid in 1S95-an in
vasion of the Transvaal by British
partisans of the Uitlanders-made
conditions acute. Consideration of the
grievances Of the Uitlanders by Sir
Alfred Miner is long story. The war
spirit rose in the Transvaal and
Orange Free State. England greatly
strengthened its military force in
South Africa. The Transvaal govern
ment sent an ultimatum that British
forces be Withdrawn from its borders
and no other troops sent to South
Africa. The ultimatum ignorn:. EGer
armies invaded Natal and Cape Colony,
very much for the purpose of stirrin 6
revolt among and gaining recruits

stag British reverses were numerous,
but strength and resources, plus mill
tary skill, began to tell, and for the
la at half of the war period the Boers
were reduced to steadily diminished

American Veterans Bear
German Soldier to Tomb

Nothing more honorable or more
significant has been done since the
great war ended than was done up in
Minnesota last week when a band of
American veterans bore to the final
resting place of mortalS a lad. who
during the war, served beneath tho
German flag. He had been the armed
enemy of the American soldier. Dur
ing the years of bitterness and blood
he had fought beneath the Prussia n
eagle for the preservation and honor
of the HohenZollern cause But a
mortal malady forced him to travel
in America and it was on the prairies
of Minnesota that the final summons
came.
The fact that he fought for Ger
many in the war of nations made no
difference to the legionnaires of Min
nesota. They bore his body to the
grave, accorded him the last mill
tary honors and fred a rifle volley
above his tomb. They only remem-
bered him as a World War soldier
and for the time being forgot the
bitter prejudices that the storm of
war had stirred. And in honoring the
fallen son Of a fallen empire they
did distinct honor to themselves
Nearly so years have passed since
a band of Southern women touched
the heart of the Nation by strewing
with flowers the graves of those who
had invaded their State and had died
while bringing sorrow to Southern
homes. That generous act did more
to heal the hurt of the Nation than
all the world of eloquent men.-Ok-

Hot-Weather Reading.

The President is said to have recon-
mended Whittier's "Snowbound" as
good Summer reading. There is humor
and philosophy in the suggestion, but
it is possible that there are persons
without humor who will see little prac-
tical benefit in the Presidents sugges-
ton. That "Snowbound' is the best
hot-weather reading is but an opinion
of the President, and there are per-
sons who will challenge his opinion
of Summer literature as they chal.
lenge his opinion on other things. AS
may be useful in diverting the mind
from heat, but it may be humbly in
timated that in the case Of hot-weather
literature Whittier is not the only peb-
BILE on the beach nor the only fake in
the snow pile. Emerson a writer in
good standing in New England, wrote
The Snowstorm.' classic which
ought to have a cooling effect on those
who suffer from hot weather. Long
fellow, a poet Of excellent repute in
New England, as elsewhere, wrote
"Snowflakes," which runs, in part:
Out of the bosom of the air.
Out of the cloud-folds of her gar
ments shaken.
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest fields forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow
Descends the snow.
Search of a catalogue Of poetry
would show that many poets have not
restricted their inspiration to DAT
fodils and sweet peas, but that they
have also gone in for snowstorms,
snowdrifts. snow blockades skating,
ice harvesting, sleighing, fur caps, nit
tens and mufflers. Stories of Arctic
adventure which are features of the
news ought to supplement the efforts
of "Snowbound' to keep folks cool.

Chicago and Secession.

Some time ago the official heads OF
the County of Cook, in the State of H.
linois. which compasses the City of
Chicago, threatened to sever relations
with the Commonwealth on the ground
that it was denied proper representa-
ton in the Legislature. The terms of
the State constitution regarding ap-
portionment and legislative repre-
sentation have not been complied with,
and the argument was advanced that
this absoived the county from al
legiance. Steps We're taken to stop
in the State treas sury. 1t now appears
that the secession movement is not a
mere gesture of protest, but is serious.
However much in earnest Cook
County may be in this movement, it is
very difficult to see how separation
from the State can be effected. II can
not withdraw without the consent of
the State, and ii cannot be made into
another State without the consent of
Congress. There is no provision in
the Federal Constitution for the crea-
ton of any political unit less than "a
State save that of Territory. with
possibility of becoming State, with
the single exception of the District OF
constitutionally provided. Cook Coun-
ty could not exist as county outside
Of the State of Illinois. 1t would OF
course. have population enough to be
entitled to Statehood if Illinois per.
mitted its withdrawal. and if Congress
granted it State status.
1t is inconceivabk that the State Of
Illinois would ever permit withdrawal
from the Commonwealth of any por-
ton. however populous or rich. That
so populous and rich a section as Cook
County should be permitted to leave
the Commonwealth is unthinkable.
Cook County claims that it is not a
question for State decision whether it
stays in the Commonwealth or leaves
it. There are no precedents, however,
for this view. Several proposals have
been made in the past for the division
of States. and all have come to naught
because of the failure of the people
of States themselves to agree upon
partition. If the matter were put to
vote in Illinois Cook County might
swing the election. If it voted solidly,
and about Is per cent of the voters in
the State outside supported it. the ver-
dict would be in favor Of withdrawal.
But there is no certainty of a solid
vote for withdrawal within Cook Coun.
ty-for secession is not unanimously
indorsed in Chicago-and there is little
likelihood of any support for secession
in the State at large. In 1924 the esti-
mated population of the State was
6,s77,737, and of Chicago, 2,942, sos.
This leaves 3,935,132 in the State out
side Of Cook County, or nearly ,O00,-
600 more than in the county. AS long
as this balance remains there will be
no secession by consent.

Bus Accommodations.

Authoriati ton of a new bus line
from Chevy Chase to the center Of the
city has led to a proposal for a union
area where both urban and interstate
lines may converge. In this connec-
ton it may be suggested that the
time has come for some system of pub
lie information regarding bus routes
aHd schedules. At present these sup
Elementary facilities are scattered.
Their routes are known to regular
patrons, but to few others. Strangers
in the city are at loss regarding bus
accommodations. Even Washingto
mans who have infreauent occasion
to use these lines are compelled to ask
questions which are often inadequate
ly answered, with the result of much
confusion.
The central terminal for all bus lines
that traverse the center part of the
city would be a convenient place for
the display of route maps and sched-
ules, d clearing house, in short, for all
information about the bus service.
In any event, it is desirable that
each bus should carry a statement of
its terminals. These vehicles now, as
d rule. are marked only with the name
of the trip destination. leaving those
who are not already aware OF the
route to guess the starting points.
1t is evident that busses are an in.
creasing factor in the citys transpof-
tation, and everything possible should
be done to make the service complete
and depen BILE. Whether these We
hicles are run in competition with or
as adjuncts to the street railway lines
they should be maintained steadfastIy.
The latest addition to the service has
been proclaimed to be an experiment.
If it should fail because of lack Of
patronage at the higher rate of fare
the public will suffer in lessening Of
accommodations. The Public Utilities
Commission should proceed upon the
principle of permanence in any addi-
tions or extensions.

der Gen. Botha from October 10. 1899,
there was such an outbreak of glad
feeling akin to riot that the word
'Mafeking,' or ''Mafficking," took a
place in the English language and
with derivatives in the dictionary.
Only quarter of century has

racy depends upon the inner life of

the ticket which a man votes.
Let this be a land Of men, not laws;

rate the religious from the civic, the
fact yet remains that good govern
ment has in 1t an element of morality.
Good or bad government must go
back to good or bad citizenship, to in
telligent or ignorant, honest or dis
honest electors.
We have been mistaken in some of
our conclusions touching government
in America. We have yielded a quiet
assent to the fallacy that a ma jority

lodion as the sensitive film and glass
as its support gave photography a
new impetus. That was what was
known as the wet plate and the dry
plate was not perfected for another
quarter of a century. Indeed, it was
not until lSSo-sl that manufacturers
began TO supply the prepared plates
for the use OF photographers, who
heretofore. had been forced to pre-

The first hand camera with q find

later George Eastman brought out

development of the moving film sys-
