The Young Turks are amending the song to suit themselves. They want a constitutional govern ment, freed from the operations and machinations of a corrupt system of court officials. Turkey, along with Persia and Russia Is awakening. What will be the result? At first glance it might be said that the Sultan was In a tight place but the wily old Abdul Hamid Is not unused to tight places. Time after time complications have come up in European politics so that It seemed that It was the last day for the Sultan of Turkey. But behold, a few abject promises on the Koran; a few changes; a little respite; and the Sick Man of Europe was smiling as serenely as before. It may easily be that the Sultan is on his last legs, and that the serenity of the Serene Defender of the Faith is really disturbed, or it may be that the Sultan's policy of world-wide am nesty is a part of a great game. Cer tain It Is that the Chicago Armenians are not rushing back to their former homes even if there is "great joy throughout the empire." Constant! nople, however, is wild at the thought of a constitutional government- and some sort of parliament Were it not for the complete failure of a single regiment to support the . Sultan we would not take much stock In the idea But even if It Is granted, the young Turks have only begun the battle. It would not be surprising if the prom Ises made to the young Turks ended In nothing better than that farce of rep rasentatlve government, the Russian Abdul Hassan was put on the

throne at the Porte some thirty years

ago at a Young Turkish uprising and since that time he has never for one moment given anything but promises. The game 1b not over yet, but whether the revolutionists gain what they are after or not, any change in the despotic government can not fail to bring good results. The elimination of cer tain corrupt officials will undoubtedly be a temporary relief. The point we would make is that in a country like Turkey there can be no miracles wrought all at once. Changes In con stitutions of countries are of very slow and almost imperceptible growth. It will only be a question of time till the Young Turks quarrel among themselves (if they have not done so already) and things will be only slightly bettered. A Turkish rebellion has some of the most apparent symptoms, as a rule, as a South American squabble. They are both for all the world like the squirrel in a squirrel cage they never get anywhere no matter how fast and furious the revolution. HITCHCOCK. Hitchcock is planning and managng his campaign on lines which should merit success. The idea of a college bred man, who has hitherto held only a few subordinate offices telling old stagers how to run things has provoked cynical smiles among the said old stagers. Now they are beginning to look up. Hitchcock is demonstrating that he not only knows the old game, but can put a few kinks in it which have been unheard of hith erto. That he knows the old game of pol itics is shown in his selection of such men as Dupont in Delaware and Pentose In Pennsylvania. He has pursued this policy with deadly effect throughout the country here and there reconciling the "allies" and the "favorite son," but always he has alighted on the most popular man in his own district. That shows good generalship. A new invention of his has been the laying off of territory and the apportionment of campaign expenses not for the separate states and state com mittees, but ror a district. This district may include half of two states, that Is where the need of work Is greatest. His enterprise is shown in the endeavor to land Tennessee and Kentucky, which he thinks have a very doubtful outlook this year. And so goes this "untried man from state to state, putting all in or der. It is interesting to watch him upset precedents time-worn policies which had grown stale and put something new in the place. We heard the same talk about Hitchcock being "untried" when he was handling Taft's nomination. He outgeneraled the most astute of old campaigners In that case. There 6hould be little doubt in republican minds as to what he can do this time. What ever the result in November as far as the management of the campaign goes the party will have no reason to think that the cam paign has been mismanaged. Hitchcock merely demonstrates the fact that a college man can do not only good work, but better, if he gets thoroughly interested. We rather think Hitchcock Is Interested. TAFT IN NEW YORK. Dispatches from New York today emphasize what we already knew that both capital and labor are delight ed with Taft's notification speech Never before perhaps has a document been so eagerly awaited and so care fully scrutinized by both elements of our national business. It is no sur prise to learn that the labor leaders of New York, together with the business men have come to recognize that Taft is thoroughly conversant with modern conditions. Above all do they realize that Taft has been sincere and not demagogic in his utterance.- Especial ly is his accuracy shown, these men declare, in his remarks on the over capitalization of railroads. Holland, the writer from New York to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: "The speech certainly inspired instant con fldence. And there seemed to be inti mation that it was read as approving ly by the leaders of organized labor as by men who serve the community by the use of their capital. The lmpres sion is very strong in this city that the organized labor in the employ of the railroad corporations is now warmly disposed to favor Mr. Taft. The satisfaction, says Holland, of the business Interests in finding that Mr. Taft has not only diagnosed the situation properly, but has avoided folly in the proposed remedy is also gratifying. Hitherto it has been hard to convince the people that the interests of labor and capital are in certain cases Identical. Never before have labor and capital found a man as in this instance, so pleasing to them both on account of his good sense and eminent justice. We are convinced that the New York situa tion is typical of the average conditions all over the country. "Bill's all rigb,f JrciTH: MiUions use Gold Medal Hour. Lucnjcxxt.

BIBLE MIRACLES ALL

FANCIFUL NARRATIVES

Chicago, August 1. The greatest religious teacher that ever lived, Jesus Christ, constantly employed fiction to teach religious truths to the people of biblical times according to Prof. Herbert L. Willet, of the University of Chicago Divinity school. This statement was made in Kent theater in a lecture entitled "Old Testament Fiction." Prof. Willet said that the Old Testament miracles were largely imaginative In their make-up, natural phenomena exaggerated by writers who sought further to glorify the great men of whom they wrote: "No man ever lived who could perform miracles that is, who could cause a change of God's laws of government of the universe," declared Prof. Willet. "The stories of miracles in the Old Testament are chiefly fan SMUGGLERS MAY USE AEROPLANES Officers of Customs service Look in the Future. Washington, D. C, August 1. Al though the United States has been slow to take up the balloon and aero-! piane ior army purposes, tne prooaoie future usefulness of these aerial craft in other directions is not being overlooked. The carrying out of a tentative plan to connect several large Eastern cities by an aerial transportation line will depend largely on the success of Captain Baldwin's flights in his dirigible balloon at the Ft. Myer army tests. One of the interested spectators at the trial will be Beekman Winthrop, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who is directly in charge of the custlme service. At the present time the customs ser vice depends on the revenue cutter service to patrol the coast and prevent smuggling of goods, but that the customs officials are giving consider ation to exigencies which may arise if aeroplanes become available in the illegal Importation of goods is evidenced by the interest they are taking in the efforts of the army to make a great stride in aerial invention. DEATH DANCES. Thy Form a Part of tbe Tibetan Mystery Plays. The death dances of the Tibetan mystery plays, one of which is performed on the last three days of the year, are called "the ceremony of the sacrificial body of the dead year." The effigy of a man made out of dough as lifelike as possible and having inside a distinct heart and all the entrails filled with a red fluid is placed by four cemetery ghouls in sight of the numerous spectators in the center of the yard, and at ' once bands of skeleton ghosts rush upon the corpse to attack it. This is the time to display the necromantic power of lamalsm over the evil spirits. Monks and lamas come forth and go through a series of ceremonies, the magic effect of which keeps the fiends away. But a more formidable devil, with great horns and possessed of superior powers, makes his appearance and takes the field, whereupon a saint of an incarnation of Buddha himself goes to the rescue, sprays flour on the enemy, makes mystic signs and utters incantations. The skeleton ghosts and the big fiend grovel before him and implore mercy. He graciously yields to their supplications and allows them to partake of a sacramental meal. While they kneel before him be gives to each one of them a little flour to eat and a drink out of a vessel of holy water. Toward the latter days of George D. Prentice as the editor of tbe old Louisville Journal a thief got into the editorial room one night and stole the big dictionary. As soon as the loss was discovered rrentlce said to his amanuensis: "Go out and purchase another copy of the dictionary. A man who will attempt to edit a newspaper with out an unabridged dictionary is an egotist, and I do not belong in that category." Vindictive. "Ah," sighed the young rhymester, "you care nothing for the trials of ua poets." "Probably not" replied the crusty editor, "but I'd like to be on the Jury in Just one trial." Philadelphia Ledger.

ciful narratives based on fact or legend and should not be taught children as literal description of facts. "The use of fiction to spread religious truths was employed In olden times because the people of those days were like so many children, and the story was the best means of instructing them. "A story is a means of conveying an ethical truth. This Is proved today by the employment of stories in instructing children. Primitive people are in many respects like children. "The principal parts of the Bible are works of fiction. All biblical stories are truths though they may not be facts. The fable is an impossible event or occurrence, as is also the parable, yet they are used in the Bible as a valuable means of teaching religion.

LIBERTY PASTOR TO SPEAK Will Occupy Pulpits in Two Local Churches. The Rev. S. Wilbur Iluffer, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Liberty will occupy the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church tomorrow morning and at the union meeting at the First Baptist church in the evening. The Rev. Mr. Huffer is well known and an excellent pulpit orator. THE TREADMILL. A Ponlshment Still In Vofoe In Maar En fill all Prisons. The treadwheel is still in vogue at many English prisons. Within the walls is a little building, built of blue gray stoue, standing somewhat apart from the main structure in a corner of the exercise ground and prison garden. On the chocolate colored door are painted in white letters the two words, "Wheel House." As the door opens the dull, grinding sound that we heard outside grows a little louder and clearer. The door closes behind us with the inevitable clash and click of the returning bolt. Tbe bouse is an apartment some thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. On the left hand side are the wheels, four of them, in two tiers, divided by a gallery running the whole length of the house and communicating with the floor by a staircase nt the opposite end. On the right hand side there is another lower and shorter gallery, on which stands the warder in charge. The wheels are separated by a section of brick Avail. Each wheel is divided into compartments, cutting off each prisoner from the others. The object of this is to prevent the prisoners from seeing and hearing one another, although conversation in a low voice pitched in a different key from that of "the music of the wheel" is perfectly easy and intelligible. AFRICAN ELEPHANTS. They Are Shy of Traveler or Huntera In the Forest. "Elephants are but rarely seen In the forests of Africa, however numerous they may be," writes an old hunter of big game in the dark continent. "This is due to many causes. In the first place, they are naturally extremely 6hy animals and detest the neighborhood of man. In the second place, they are largely nocturnal feeders and rarely drink or bathe except at night. They often travel immense distances to and from the water and retire during the day to the remotest portions of the forest, where thoy doze away the long, hot hours under the shadiest trees that they can find. Lastly, their scent Is extremely keen. "This sense is so largely developed that they can recognize danger at a very long distance, and as soon as the alarm is given they move quickly but noiselessly away. As an elephant disturbed or frightened will frequently travel twenty or thirty miles without a stop, and as his pace under such circumstances is a good five miles an hour, it is easy to understand that travelers iu the forest, although frequently coming upon absolutely fresh tracks, but seldom see the herd that has caused them." INSURANCE SYSTEMS. They Date Avray Back to the Time of Claudius Caesar. The principle of combination for protective purposes has been traced to the time of King Alfred, and according to Francis' "Annals of Life Insurance," assurance on its broadest basis was practiced in the Saxon guilds. Marine Insurance dates back to the Emperor Claudius Caesar, who during a corn famine encouraged merchants to send ships for supplies by engaging to make good the value of any vessel lost In tbe public service. The Greeks had a somewhat similar practice, and so had the Jews, for when banished from France in the twelfth century they took out policies of insurance upon all their effects in transit. The earliest English statute relating to insurance is dated 1001 and says. "It hathe bene tyme out of mynde an usage amongste merehantes both of this realm and of forraine nacyons, when they make any great adventure, to give some conslderacioa of money to other persons, to have assurance made of all their goodes, which Is commonlie termed a policie of assurance."

TO ORGANIZE STATE Democratic Leaders of- Indiana in Conference Decide on System.

MARSHALL AND KERN TALK Indianapolis, Ind., August 1. John W. Kern, Democratic candidate for Vice President, and Thomas R. Marshall, candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket, addressed the members of the Indiana Editorial Association at Fairview Park. Both spoke of the Importance of the work of the Indiana Democratic editors in the coming campaign. Mr. Kern's remarks were very brief. "The work of the editors is highly important." said the Democratic candidate, 'and I wish to emphasize that the confidence of the people iu the press of this country ought to be restored, and if it is restored it will have to be done by the course of the Democratic editors of this country and by the independent editors who stand upon their watch towers and are striking for what they believe to be right." At the meeting of the state committee yesterday afternoon, W. Kern, Marshall, Taggart, Chairman Jackson and several editors, it was decided that organization meetings shall be held at once in every county. After the county meetings the workers will be assembled by townships, and some candidate will be sent to each meeting. A committee consisting of Kern, Marshall, Jackson, Gilbert, Hendren and John E. Lamb was appointed to arrange for speakers of national reputation. A MENTAL PUZZLE. Double Consciousness Developed by an AttaeU of Illness. Speaking of instances of double consciousness. Mental Science notes the following case: The patient was a girl, twenty-two years of age. She suffered from some affection that may have been meningitis, but this is not known positively. She then developed acute maniacal excitation. During this illness the patient presented some remarkable changes of iersonality such as are seen in hysteria. The author does hot term the curious manifestations by this name, but describes some nine or more different varieties of personality manifested by the patient that are quite Interesting. Thus the patient had spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis, etc. The most interesting of these manifestations, because the least easy to explain, was the patient's ability to draw the full figure of a nurse, etc., during her spell of blindness. To convince himself that this was the actual case the author held a book between the patient's eyes and the sheet of paper on which she was drawing or put his hands before her eyes while she was drawing without in any way Inter ferlng with her drawing. Her sense of touch was highly sensitive during that period; she could detect a line drawn across her drawing paper, dates writ ten at the top of her drawing paper, merely by touching the paper where the intruding lines had been drawn, During her normal state the patient could never draw either before or after her Illness. FRIENDSHIPS. Differences Between Those of Men and Those of -Women. One difference between men and women in their relation to friendship is that a man's friends like him in spite of himself; a woman's friends or acquaintances care for her because of herself, because of her powers of agreeability, her tact or her charm. A man may be as grouchy as he likes on occasion. He may swear at his best friend and treat him as cavalierly as he pleases, yet that friend will wait In patience for "the old man to come round." knowing well that beneath the surface are a kindly heart and a willingness to share a last crust with him. With her friends a woman may take no such liberty. The kind heart and the good intentions count for nothing beside a woman's bad manners and lack of taste in the treatment of ber nearest and dearest, and condemnation is swift and sure. Nothing excuses tier, and she is rarely forgiven. Nor would she expect to be forgiven. Not possess ing that large patience undeniably nee essary to friendship or the power of forgiving and waiting for the "grouch" to blow over, she does not look for for giveness when she has sinned against these laws of a woman's making. Rather she gives up her friend and contents herself quite placidly with an other. But then, as we said before, a woman has no genius for friendship. I.uarubrioua Hedda! It seems, by the way. almost forgot ten that it was with a burlesque of Ibsen that Mr. Barrie made his first bow as a dramatist. His travesty of "Hed da Gabler" was one of the most de liclous pieces of fooling ever seen at Toole's theater, and in it Mr. Toole (as Ibsen himself), George Shelton as Tes man and Miss Irene Vanbrugh as blend of Thea . and Hedda were de lightful. In one scene Tesman was busy writing a review when Hedda entered, and the following dialogue took place: Tesman Cooking up) Thea Hedda (languidly) I am not Tbea. I am Hedda. Tesman Then, Hedda. is there a k In "Christianity T Hedda (very slowly and intensely) There is nothing In Christianity. Tesman Fancy that! London Pall Mall Gazette.

BURIED MINERS BEFORE THEY

Coal Creek. B. C, August 1. As the result of a cave-in in a coal mine at Crow's Nest Pass, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, 23 miners are buried in the workings of the mine and may all succumb before aid can reach them. A large crew of rescuers is at work endeavoring to dig a tunnel through the 400 feet of earth which separates the men from daylight, in order to give them air and sustain life until they can be reached. The men were at work in the main shaft of the mine. Only the roar of the crashing rocks and dirt warned them, and their one hasty dash for liberty came too late. Men on the surface immediately summoned aid and set to work trying to dig a tunnel to their comrades. It is doubtful whether the men can live until reach ed, as it will take several days to dig them out or send them food. Sunday Services First M. E. Corner Main and Four teenth streets. R. J.

"The Military Reminiscence of a Retired Colonel" contains the following story relating how the Puke of Wellington overcame a somewhat embarrassing difficulty: Tbe sentry ou duty one day at the gate of Hampton Court palace many years ap was asked the time by a young lady, the daughter of the widow of a distinguished soldier, who occupied apartments In the palace. Sbt happened to be wearing a dainty apron, and. appearing to the soldier to be a neat lady's maid, his reply ta her question was, "Half past kissing time," and a kiss. The indignant young lady fled to report the Impertinence to her mother, who promptly scut a letter of complatnt to the colonel of the sentry's regiment. The colonel regret ted the occurrence and referred the lady, half In jest and half In earnest, to the commander In chief. To the highest quarter accordingly she went for redress and received the following reply: Field Marshal the Duke of tVelllns-ton. while regretting- the occurrence f which Miss Q. complains, begs to say that ha haa searched the army regulations and tha articles of war, and ha ran nowhere find that kissing la a punlshabla offansa front a military point of viw. It Is as sin at orders for a sentry to converse when on duty, but In this Instance It appears that Miss Q opened the conversation, and tha sentry, although he answered In an unusual manner, committed no actual braaofc of discipline.
