FOR 1ST ATE REPRESENTATIVE (eorj y. Ilcpler ami Charles A. liberty. r.raoLTs mr. task. What we have said a.s to the e;'fort of German success in defeating the allies and capturing Paris in the first campaign of the war is confirmed by tho official announcement that the members cf the triple entente have signed a formal agreement for better r worse and will stand together to the end. accepting nothing for either that the other does not share. Tho t.htening of the bonds of understanding between Great Britain, 1 "ranee and Russia signifies that each and all of these nations recognize Germany as the inveterate foe of their people and their governments but of the autonomy and liberty of Europe as a whole. The entente of itself was merely an unwritten understanding that under certain conditions these countries should be friendly to each other and that France and Russia should support each other against any nation hostile to either. Great Britain was not so closely bound. Her allegiance was to be moral rather than militant. There was nothing in the agreement compelling Great Britain to take up arms under any circumstance. The British were drawn into this war through their guarantee to Belgium. Belgium has a coast line that has long been coveted by Germany. It would give the German empire the outlet and inlet to ocean commerce and naval activity which is sadly lacking in Germany's present facilities. Incidentally the possession of this coast lim would give, Germany a club to hold over Great Britain. It would make the two nations rivals on the sea and give Germany a great commercial advantage. This is why Great Britain guarantees Belgium against interference with her possession of the coast and why Great Britain aided y France through a sense of gratitude and justice will recompense Belgium for all damage done by Germany. In this manner the war with Germany has been made a common cause with the English and French and also with Russia. The situation has been forced upon them by Germany's aggressiveness. What was before a verbal understanding is now a written agreement, an absolute alliance, with each party pledged to co-operate in war as well a in politics. This makes the strongest alliance that could be forntp. in Europe, leaving Germany out o.' consideration, and it claims to "be fighting for right and to "vanquish the ene.ry v. ho threatens the whole world." It has been demonstrated this early in the war that France is no match physically for the great German war machine that has been steadily and rapidly advancing toward Paris. Russia has great superiority of numbers, but anight be defeated ly the swift moving German machine before ready to make an adequate defense. Great Britain has exposed her unpreparedness, but is constituted to rally its forces while taking punishment. Her available military resources ate smaller than those of Germany. Germany has succeeded thus far by speed, superior numbers and equipment. he may carry it to the extent of capturing Paris r even farther but the new alliance means that her struggle for supremacy will then but Lave just begun. The combined military and naval resources of three of the most powerful nations in Europe nre to be pitted auaint her in unlimited combat with every advantage of food and military supplies in their favor. ami the war is t be fought to the bitter end. There will be no wealxning f the allies by coercing or coaxing one of them to cease fighting or desert. The compact is mad and Germany must w in. if she wins at all by conquering Great Britain. Fram-e and Russia combined.

Power is as dangerous In the hands of the unwise as a gun in the hands of a child. It is useful and beneficial only when wisely and prudently applied. Power is the purpose of organization. The individual gains it only through co-operation with others and the use of the means which co-operation brings. If the power behind the movement which gave the country this holiday is wisely used the day will continue to grow in honor and respect. Otherwise it will be dropped from among the red letters on the calendar. Eabor's destiny rests In its own hands. It must work out its own emancipation from oppression. It will have sympathy and aid, but these alone will not save it from a reversion to something resembling peonage. At this time there Is a strong public sentiment in favor of living wages, by which is meant compensation which enables the laborer to comfortably care for his family .educate his children, own a home and provide for the days when age and debility deprive him of his earning power. This sentiment also includes reasonable hours of service and safe, comfortable, sanitary working conditions. Employers, many of them, are included among those who no longer regard human labor as a commodity, to be bought and sold in tho market like potatoes at whatever it will bring in competition with other labor, who believe the laborer is not only worthy of his hire but is entitled to his full share of the profits of his labor. The condition of labor has been greatly elevated In the past quarter of a century. It is due in part to united effort to improve the quality of labor and in part to an inherent sense of justice which has prompted employers to give their employes a square deal, to recognize them as fellow human beings and co-workers. If labor continues to grow in wisdom and prudence and follows the signs which stand along its pathway favorable public sentiment will continue to increase its strength and Eabor day will become one of the most honored in the calendar. DKYEIXMWinXT OF GOLF. "When Francis Ouimet won the international honors over Yardon and Ray, the English cracks, last year it was to some extent regarded as a fluke. . Ouimet was playing on his own grounds, the only place he had ever played in public, and knew every bump and cup on the course. He was regarded as having played a lucky game. His performance in England seemed to confirm this conclusion. He did better in France, but under more favorable conditions. YVir.ning the championship of France added something to his laurels, but little to his reputation as a golfer. This brought him up to the national amateur tournament as a possibility, but hardly as a probability against such seasoned players as Travis, Traver. Fowr.es, Gardner and others. He had a struggle to get through the preliminaries, but ;us the finals approached his real quality began to manifest itself and in the finish h egme an exhibition of scientific goif. of steady, consistent, brilliant play that has scarcely a precedent in American golf annals. The result is an evidence of the rapid development of the old game in the Fnited States. It shows the possibilities for young golfers and their ability to go to the top of the game fast. No such rapid development as that seen among the youns players of the Fnited States can be boasted by any other country. Climate, temperament and the adaptability of Americans to outdoor sports seem to be accountable for the phenomenon. The pame itself is becoming widely popular hete. Few of the smaller cities of the country have no golf course. A number of the smaller ones have two. and the larger cities are being surrounded by them. City parka

are now incomplete without their golfing course and the way the unattached players flock to them is astonishing. From the public courses the players graduate into the clubs, and tile membership of these is growing so rapidly that new ones are constantly bing formed to take up the surplus. The strong drawing feature of golf is that there Is no age limit in it. The young, the middle aged and the old find a common ground on which to meet and affiliate, and it is no uncommon sight to see youths of twenty and men of sixty or older playing together and finding it interesting. The difficulties of the game are considerable, sufficient to stir the fighting spirit of a man of any age, but not so great as to be disheartening to any.

European refugees have brought indictment against one Major Henry, a government official sent to Europe to help them get home. They say he devoted his attention to the rich and let those who really needed his services get along the best he could. Henry should be kicked out of the service and then investigated. The information published by a Chicago paper that there Is a call in South Bend for skilled labor is absolutely without foundation. The factories referred to by the Chicago paper are running on half time on account of the war. Another repulse for the kaiser. He has been stricken from the Xobel peace prize list. That's what the Nobel committee thinks of "Wilhelm and his allieged ally. The president has not acted on the request for the appointment for a day of prayer for peace in Europe. Perhaps he thinks the war has passed the prayer stage. The good ship Red Cross with 3 3 surgeons and 12 0 nurses aboard will sail for Europe tomorrow. It Is America's offering of mercy to the suffering. A trap has been laid for somebody, but the correspondents writing at long range cannot quite agree whether the Germans or the allies are to be caught. Your present train robber no longer takes chances with the posses of the country districts. He finds it easier to dodge the police of the big cities. Bordeaux is much inflated by being made the temporary capital of France but not enough to comfortably accommodate the influx of officials. If Germany succeeds in collecting war levies from all cities she has made demands upon she ought to mfake a fair profit on the investment. The London Times is kicking against the strictures of the censorship. This is a protest In which the whole civilized world joins. The French are a volatile people, but they can't get away from the fact that they are in a tight hole. We are still in the air about Turkey but that is better than having the sick man go to war. If peace in the orient is what Japan wants why not keep her warships at home ? Chicago has a population of 2,.")00,000. That's what the new directory says. On to the equator is the slogan of American industries. if: ;Jc rj: 5 i$e sje :je LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE l V v! V V 7, (v T T r C 7 i A DONESOME DEMOCRAT. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 1.

There was EuiOc and Asia and a part of Africa, but it took a tlioiwmd years to produce Columbu. Attila shared authority with hi brother until it became coincident to kill him, and then lie ruled alone. Their iowcr was feared by all of I Europe and A-ia. The Huns esteemed Attila their braet warrior and nios.t skillful general. Their regard for his person soon amounted to suiHTstilioiLsrcvereiicei. How familiar: He gave out that lie had found the sword of their tutelar god. the Scythian .Mars, the Ixsion of which was MipMscd to comoy a title to tho whole earth, just as it is now claimed through diine sanction, and proud of this weapon, which added dignity to his jKwcr,( he designed to extend his rule oxer the world. How ldstory dm anticipate itself. In time Attila became, as he called himself, the Scourge of God for the chastisement of the human race, which illustrates traits of the species are perietuatod, and he extended his dominion over all the people of Germany and Soythla, and the far eastern and western emperors paid him tribute. Some of our modern rulers must have Ikcii reading nlnmt Attila ami gathering inspiration from his example. Some historians say ho had an army of 7(M),0(10 men. but they were not armed with Krupis and Maxims. Mot of their fighting was hand work. Ho easily found pretext for wars and helped himself to the treasure of captured cities. Finally Attila entered Gaul. Ho crossed the Khine with a large army and marked his way with pillage and desolation until completely defeated by Theodoric and Aetius at ChaJons. Lin:.
