OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL
Wtljion And Bryan Adopt Attitude
That Huerta liaa Been Eliminated

War-Ridden Country.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan have adopted the attitude that
the elimination of Victoriano Huerta
from the Presidential race In Mexico
Is assured and that the first step to-
■ward the establishment of peace In
Mexico has been accomplished. This
was the authoritative declaration
Thursday of administration officials,
who also let It bo known:
That oral assurances had been
given Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge
d'affaires of the American embassy,
of Huerta's Intention not to be a
candidate In the approaching elec
tion. That the I'nited States would
construe literally the argument in
the second note of Frederlco damboa,
Mexican minister of foreign affairs,
who pointed out at great length that
a provisional president in Mexico is
Ineligible to succeed himself.
That any effort on the part of
Huerta to circumvent the Constitu
tion. by resigning In ai.unie of the
elections In favor of another provi
sional president. »i-ii!d !*« r* gar led

because the roads leading to it wore
well nigh Impassible, and In like
manner many a town has won out be
cause Ita citizens saw to it that the
roads leading to it were kept in good
condition.
Again tho action of the people of
Missouri was a striking illustration
of the power of harmonious co-opera
tion. Rich and poor, and people of
every vocation In life, and of all ages,
were moved by one single purpose—
that of improving the highways of
the state. It goes without saying
that in all the future its roads will be
more easy and comfortable to tra
verse. and that they will be more
pleasing to the eye. In a very literal
sense It may be said In the lanp^ge
of Scripture, “the crooked has been
made straight and the rough places
plain.” All that will mean millions

One of tha moat Interesting and
helpful results of I'rewllent Wilson's
special addn>sa to Congresa on the
Moxlcan situation Is the responsive
ring of approval it has brought from
thinking men In every party and In
every section of the country. The
Atlanta Journal Bays If Huerta ever
had reason to doubt that the admin
istration waa speaking for the entire
American people he Is now convinc
ed of his error,’ for every voice of
public opinion that commands respect
has united In earnest commendation
of the course the President is pursu
ing.
Thus the New TorknTribune, as
staunch a spokesman of Republican
politics as could be found, declares
that the nation must "approve and
support the dignified, benevolent and
resolute policy which was put for
ward in the President's message’’ and
the Sun affirms that "the attitude of
the administration, so manifestly in
spired by lofty ideals of duty and of
method, represents exactly the atti
tude of our Congress and, generally,
of the American people.
The Herald speaks with insight, as
well as enthusiasm: "No more strik
ing evidence of tho truism that in the
I'nited State«s political opinion "stops
at tho border," could be aske.i or
given than that furnished by the re
ception accorded by Congress to Pres
ident Wilson’s address. Hc{ )U {,]|o fln

The A w ful Cowl of War.
War !• the greatest cur»a to thr
human race, and all the great nations
of the earth ought to make war the
very last reaort to the settlement of
intematlonnl troubles. All other
means should be exhausted before
war Is even thought of by nations
As a boy we have a very distinct
recollection of the hardships and sor
rows caused by the War Between the
States. Very few homes In the South
but where sorrow entered because of
the death of some loved one or
friend on the b^tlefleld.
The young men of the South al
most to a man went to the front in
that fearful struggle and d)n3 their
duty like the bmve men they were
should have doae. Thousands of
these young men were left on the
battlefields as an offering to the god
of war, and few homes in the South
but what mourned for some loved
one or friend who gave their life for
their country. Who can estimate the
loss of these young men to the South?
Then look at the treasure that war
cost, to say nothing of the homes de
stroyed.
The money cost of the two 'Balkan
wars amounted to $ 1,3r>0,000,000,
and the loss of life was appalling. Of
4r.ii,(.icO Turks mobilized 1 00,000
were killed in battle; but it is among
the Balkan Christian armies that tho
losses were most terrifying. Bul
garia brought nr.o.OOO men Into the

At Age of Seyentjr-flre Succumb* to
Attack of Gaatrltla An State Peni
tentiary at Milledgevllle, Ga.
"Old Bill" Miner, the most pic
turesque bandit America ever pro
duced, has died on the Georgia pria-
on farm with the great project of his
life unfulfilled. It was hie great
hope and ambition to go to Europe
and rob the Mediterranean express,
the richest passenger train in the
world, which goes from Paris to Con
stantinople.
Bill Miner was nearly seventy
when he.died, and ever since he was
a middle aged man he had been plan
ning and arranging the details for
pulling off a wild-west hold-up in
the center of the Old World. It
wasn't the rich loot that tempted him
to the undertaking but the daring
adventure and the fame as an out
law which such a climax to his long
career would have given him.
Instead, he died of gastritis, a bent
old man, a shackled invalid, among
the state’s weak and decrepit pris
oners at the farm near Milledgeville.
The shackle* wer* the only tiling that
made life tolerable at the last to the
former terror of the plains. He re
garded them as the greatest compli
ment which the prison management
could pay him. and alwa's smiled
grimly and shook his hea ! "hen tb.ev
offered to take off the chain* if he
would g:\e his w.u I of honor not to
Tv to i -m ape
Til! Miner was "a bad man’’ in the
tisuailv accepted sense of the term,
and was a gri-at criminal, hut he had
a queer cede of honor of his own

Th® North CarotUui Way.
Laat year a young man from a
country la Utla Bute waa triad for th®
murder la Charlotte of a prominent
yonng man of that cHy. The killing
occurred la a hotel at Charlotte and
seems to have resulted from a fight
which arose among dfunken men.
The Jury very properly found the
slayer kuilty of manslaughter and he
waa sentenced to four yeara impris
onment.
The attorneya for the convicted
young man have recently been mak
ing a hard fight to secure his par
don. They managed to get the sig
natures of eight of the Jurors who
sat on the case to the petition for
clemency. Governor Craig, however,
has announhed that he will not in-
terefere with the case since he has
made a study of It himself and Is
satisfied that the punishment Is not
too severe.
"How different the North Carolina
xvay from the South Carolina way!”
says the Greenville Piedmont. Down
here we dare say tie prisoner would
have been turned loo®e and in the
reasons given by the governor for his
actioa, the fact that eight jurors had
signed the petition would have been
the first mentioned.
It has always been a strange thing
to us that jurors would return a ver
dict of guilty against a man, which
calls for a sentence of a certain num
ber of years, a fact which the jurors
know when they cast their ballots,
yet will turn right around and sign
a petition for a pardon in a short
time after the conviction. It simply,
to our mind, goes to show what a
frail institution man Is.”

Nowadays it is often persuasion of

warranted in deciding against giving
him a chance to show what is in him.
He should be compelled to make a
certain trail of learning before he or
his parents shall decide against It.
One of the objects of education is to
give the child (at first an unknown
quanity) opportunities to develop
and test his different powers, to
awaken his latent tendencies, tastes
and Inclinations, to start all the cur
rents of desire and ambition so that
Inter he can with reasonable accur
acy and fairness to himself and the
world find his true bent and choose
his life work. Already there are
buneles enough made in this selec
tion. There would be more if thr
schools were not serving the rising
generation by trying out what is in
them. But there should come to be
far fewer misfits in life, IhevltabU
(Ilsappolntmenfs Through misdirected
energies, and there will be fewer
when school are more perfectly ad-
'usted to their proper work, and thf
children are more universally pu’
through preliminary achool thalnln#
of the right sort.
