A Satisfactory Primary The Palladium congratulates the Progressives upon the ticket they selected yesterday. Composed of clean cut and true representatives of the party, it is one that deserves and will receive the support of all voters who wish for ft new and better regime in the municipal affairs of Richmond. The beauty of the Progressive primary was that good as are the men who have become the nominees, just as good were the men who were unsuccessful in their race for the privilege of representing the party at the polls this fall. The primary itself was conducted squarely and aboveboard, a condition that will guarantee loyal and earnest support for the ticket from all the members of the party. Progressives, themselves, are deserving of praise for the numbers that turned out to select the party ticket. With a total vote cast of practically 1400, or 60 per cent of the 2,400 votes cast for Colonel Roosevelt, at last fall's presidential election, they may well feel. assured that the cohesion shown in the first great test of the party's strength will be shown to be undiminished when the returns are counted in November.

What Is the Reason? The Kansas City Times makes a very pertinent inquiry concerning a condition which obtains in Richmond the same as it does in Kansas City. The Times says : "Plenty of real estate owners are willing to let their vacant lots hurt the town. But if neglecting a lot hurt the owner of the lot there would be very few pieces of property neglected. "At present if an owner of a vacant lot makes it a wholesome spot and a pretty place to look at he is likely to find the assessment of the lot increased. The law does not automatically compel that. The assessor simply does it. "Why is not the practice shifted, so that the owner who does not make his lot wholesome and pretty is punished by the higher assessment?" Hero Tales Not Ended The statement has been frequently made of late that American men are becoming effeminate; that modern civilization in the United States is sapping the good red-blooded courage of its people. However, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission's reports give the lie to such pessimistic utterances, and the bulwarks of the republic will not be endangered so long as the race breeds such men as Col. Astor, Major Butts and their other fellow countrymen aboard the Titanic ; and the modest little newsboy hero of Gary who coolly sacrificed a crippled leg and his life to save from death an injured girl, and gallant Lieutenant D. P. Morrison of the navy. "Who is Morrison?" you ask. A brief, formal report on file in the navy department describes him as an engineering officer who met his death in the explosion of a boiler on the U. S. torpedo boat destroyer, Walke. But there is a big, human-interest story about the way Morison went to his death and of the heroism of the Walke's crew, which all Americans should know. One day, a few weeks ago, while the Walke was off Newport there was a sudden roar below decks, the hiss of escaping steam and agonized screams for a time. Of course everyone above decks knew what it meant that the engine loom was a white-hot inferno, and that the men down there were scalded within and without, for every breath seared their lungs like a red hot poker. A sailor named Doyle was first to the hatch which he opened to let himself down. Others siezed him and he began to fight. "Let me go. Morrison's down there. He pulled me out of the water and saved my life, and I am going to save him," he yelled as he fought. But they pulled him back and held him. One man placed his arm over the seething pit and drew it back with a cry of agony. Then up the ladder, one at a time, crept five men, their flesh parboiled. "Get Morrison. He is nearest to the ladder and he stood aside to let us .up first," gasped each man before sinking into merciful unconsciousness. Finally two men got below and stumbled over the prostrate form of oiler Frank Conway. "There's Morrison over there. I must get him out," murmured Conway and. crazed with pain, he'stancd for his officer, but the hand of death stayed his progress. Three feet from the ladder Morrison lay crumpled up on the floor. Gently they carried above this man who had sacrificed himself that others might live, but his lungs were gone and he lived only a few minutes. Can you find in the hero tales of the nation any act of higher courage ? A Natural Question Uncle Joe Cannon, apostle of standpatism, and Senator Joe Dixon of Montana, Progressive

national chairman, are on the program to speak at the Earlham commencement exercises, both being former Earlham students. The question naturally arises will the platform in the college chapel be large enough for both of these distinguished sons of old Earlham to occupy at the same time?

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE , A STANDPATTER FOILED i

The Richmond Palladium remarks: "It Is fortunate for Colonel Roosevelt that his $10,000 libel suit against Editor Newett is not being tried before 'Judge' Zimmerman in the Richmond city court. On several occasions his honor, the mayor, has handed down the ruling that a man can get drunk on even one glass of beer, and it will be recalled that Colonel Roosevelt testified he remembered of drinking six mint juleps one year while he was president. Such testimony would have been sufficient for Dr. Zimmerman to discharge the jury and without further formalities rule in favor of the defendant." The News knows nothing whatever of Dr. Zimmerman or of the cases cited as having been decided by him, but it can readily see that he might have been entirely within the bounds of reason in his ruling. Intoxicating liquor does not have the same effect on all people. There are those who can drink an amazing quantity of all sorts of liquor and apparently be none the worse for it, whereas on the other hand there are those whose whole mental equilibrium Is upset by even so much as a few swallows of mild beer. Persons of nervous or excitable temperament are naturally much more susceptible to the influence of intoxicants than are those who are more stolid and phlegmatic, and what niight easily put one man

under the table would not so much as cause the sparkle

to light the eyes of another.

It is known, too, that in the cases of certain in

ebriates a very little liquor will produce intoxication, and

a single glass of beer is more than enough to reduce one

of these unfortunates to the stage of beastly inebriety.

As it is the "chronic case" that usually winds up in the police court, it may very easily follow that Mayor Zimmerman may have been entirely justified in taking the

action of which the Palladium complains. The user of morphine and other drugs must constantly increase the dose to obtain the desired effect, but this does not follow in the case of the liquor drinker, especially the drinker who has become the victim of his appetite. Ft. Wayne News.

THE FIRST TRYST

BY JAMES B. KENYON Within the whispering shadows of the night. Where the gray dunes show wan against the sky, And the long roller curls its yellow foam Above half-strangled sands, he stands at gaze His heart is sick with doubt, and painfully His ear is bent to catch the hushed, sweet noise Of light feet hastening toward him. Sudden fears Clutch at his throat, while fancy, chilled and weak. Plagues him with nameless pangs. There in the dark One big star burns like an unwinking eye, Mocking his vigil. Somewhere, far away, A dog bays maddeningly, and all his soul Hangs on the torture of that instant when From the dim tower the bell's first note shall boom Its brazen signal. Hollow winds arise Mingled of flame and frost; hope flickers low. As falls the breathless moment; till at last The long-awaited stroke which, ere it dies, Shudders into a little sound of joy. Then outstretched hands that glimmer through the dusk, Pale robes that flutter near, a happy cry Quenched in a tremulous sob and all is well! Munsey's.

WHILE many observers, noting the atrocities committed by the Christian soldiers as well as by the Turkish troops, prefer to

consider the Balkan war a secular

rather than a religious conflict, at least one spectator of the struggle does not hesitate to call it "a triumph of the Cross," and to reproach the Christian nations with their failure to recognize the fact that "all Christendom has triumphed in the latest victory of the small states of southeastern Europe over their old enemy, the Turk." This spectator Is Ben Hurst, who dlecusses the religious aspect of the war in the Notre Dame Ave Maria (Catholic). Mr. Hurst quotes a wounded Servian soldier in a Belgrade hospital who said to him: "We knew God would not turn His back on us. After all, it was for His Son we were lighting." The writer goes on to say: "The rank and file who bore the brunt of battle, who chased the Turks at Kumanovo, stood knee-deep in the marshes at Monastir. and fell in thousands under the walls of Adrianople, were men who clung to the creed of the forefathers as to a pearl of great price. National sentiment was indeed strong, but it was not nationality that bound four separate races together. "Greek, Slav, and Bulgar (half Slax. half Tartar) were bound by a common

faith, their best Inheritance. The 'intelligent' classes, who had assimilated new doctrines In the Masonic circles of Paris, Berlin, or Geneva, whither the youth of the Balkans go in quest of modern knowledge, kept these out of sight during the solemn marshalling for the fray.

"Not one was ashamed, on crossing I the Turkish frontier, to make sol?mn!ly in public the Sign of the Cross. It j was impossible to find standing-room :in churches that are usually empty. 'A wave of fervor fanned a faith that ; had slept. The Cross was the rallying symbol for the Allies on the field of ' battle. Christians pressed into the Turkish ranks, and deserting at every i opportunity, ran toward the allied troops holding before. them sticks or branches crudely put together in the hallowed form, or signing themselves continually, so as to insure recognition as a brother, and escape being shot. : Among the prisoners whom I saw passing in the streets of Belgrade were many with rough crosses of 'white paper stuck on their caps. The 'persecuted symbols stood them at last I in good stead. These men. mostly Greeks, were given free fare to their homes. It was everywhere, among

'the allies, the triumph of the Crotj." i Something of what this triumph may mean for the liberated state may , be inferred from a comparison of conditions in Bulgaria undtr a Turkish J and a Christian regime. The Rev I M. M. Fo poff. a Prott stant missionary in Bulgaria, Kivt in the Missionary 'Review (New York) the following j facts concerning Bulgaria's progresb (during the thirty-fUe years since she I threw off the rule of Turkey: j "Once liberated from the unbearable oke, the Bulgarians ae them selves to an all round development.
