Poincaire's Visit A visit from President Poincaire of France seems now reasonably well assured. This popular sovereign has recently made a trip through various parts of his republic at every stage of which his loyal people gave him an almost kingly reception. He has just returned from Spain where he was accorded entertainment as royal as any enjoyed by Spain's own kinz. In Paris he lives sumptuously in a palace

alongside which the residences of many crowned monarchs would make a poor showing. And he is one of the busiest men in the world, especially at this period when one ministry has just resigned and a new stepped in. Why should such a busy personage cross the Atlantic for a formal call at just this time? Such men are not given to pleasure jaunts when other important duties are so pressing. Those who know something of the situation in Europe will surely guess that his visit bears some diplomatic meaning to the members of our cabinet. And as to what that message is may be surmised without hazard of our being very far wrong. Germany, Italy and Austria, as everybody knows, has long been in an alliance, the purpose of which has been to overturn the supremacy of England and France. Germany is growing so rapidly her resources are not now wholly adequate to meet her needs. In another generation she must find room in which to expand or have her standard of living depressed, a thing which is fatal to any nation. But all colonial fields are now possessed by others, chiefly England and France. Therefore Germany, headed by her Emperor William, has worked out that gigantic scheme called Pan-Germanism, the meaning of which is that Germany has determined by the aid of her allies to dominate Europe. It is this which has strained to the breaking point her relationships with England who heads the Triple Entente composed of herself, France and Russia. It is this which makes necessary the maintenance of those armaments which promise to break the neck of the European taxpayers. Owing to her economic connections with England and France, the United States entered into an informal alliance with these nations. So far back as 1897 diplomatic relations of such a character were entered into. And astute authorities on international politics do not hesitate to declare that the Cuban and Filipino wars were the direct result of that alliance. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have not proved friendly to that arrangement as their Philippine policy amply demonstrates. The determination of the Democratic party not to maintain the navy at a standard demanded by the coalition has struck another blow at it. May it not be possible that President Poincaire hopes by a visit to reinforce and perhaps even further to extend the agreements of 1897 ?

Are We Progressing? Since Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace's death a short time ago the press of the country has passed up a discussion of his scientific achievement once more to thresh out an old question raised by one of the doctor's utterances in his last book, "Social Environment and Moral Progress." In this now famous sentence, previously given to an English news reporter, the noted scholar exclaims: "Our whole system of society is rotten from top to bottom and the social environment is the worst that the world has ever seen." This audacious statement has captured the attention of the world and raised the ever old but always new question, "After all, in spite of our many inventions, are we really making any headway on chaos and the dark? Are we actually progressing? or are we merely holding our own?" Dr. Wallace made it plain that in speaking of progress he referred to moral progress and that he held that we have made no advance since ancient Egypt. There is a joker hidden in that very phrase "moral progress" which seems to us to settle the

case. I here can be no such thing as moral progress by wholesale. An individual may grow better with the years, but his spiritual achievement cannot be transmitted to his offspring or deeded to his heirs. Each person entering life must retrace the whole moral gamut from protoplasm up. Moral strength cannot be received at second-hand, but must be achieved. Whether or not we are as a whole morally bet

ter than the Romans cannot be decided because! individuals vary so that one may find any grade j of morality from cannibalism to the last heights of saintship. , But one thing is certain, the individual is in' a much better situation ethically than ever before. He has more freedom in which to work out his moral progress and he has more machinery

for "larnin " takes the girl down to his cabin in the gap, with one of the monntain women as chaperon. There June goes to school. While imbibing book knowledge, she gradually comes to love the young engineer more and more, and thus there are many complications, for the mountain reople gossip concerning the intentions of the man who Is paying so much attention to the little girl not in his own class. Hecause of a misunderstanding about Hale's intentions toward the girl, her kinsmen open up a feud, and in the third act June nurses Hale's chum. Hob IV-rkley. who has been fchot by a rival. Dave Toiliver. Hale comes in the capacity of an officer of the law to arrest Pave, but from the little mountain girl the two northern men get a new idea and duty and sacrifice.

THE SEA-MAIDS MUSIC

Ono moment the boy, as he wander'd by night, I Where the far-spreading foam in the moon-beam was white, i One moment he caught on the breath of the breeze The voice of the sisters that sing in the seas. One moment, no more; though the boy linger'd long, No more might he hear of the mermaidens' song, But the pine-woods behind him moan'd low from the land, And the ripple gush'd soft at his feet on the sand. Yet or ever they ceas'd, the strange sound of their joy Had lighted a light in the breast of the boy; And the seeds of a wonder, a splendor to be Had been breath'd through his soul from the songs of the sea.
