LUCK »AND PLUCK. 'Twixt Luck and Pluck Lies but a letter.. Right good is Luck. But Pluck is better. For Luck you sit And wait his wooing. But Pluck means Grit, And Something Doing. (4>p«Ti«fat. 19M.I "Flight 1 wandered by the White House grounds and aaw an aviator fly. It was a wondrous sight, by Zounds! the way that man abused the "sky! He turned and twisted, rose and swooped and threw a brace of somersaults, a dozen kinds of loops he 9 looped, he danced the one-step and the waltz. There was a farmer standing near. He watched the show with callous eye, and chewed tobacco; it was clear he had no use for men who fly. And when I said to him "How great the genius of the human race, that emulates the bird's estate and circumnavigates in space?"· He simply answered with a grunt. "Mebbe," says he, "but I allow there aint no use in such a stunt. Why don't he go and drive a plow, or rastle stumps or fatten pigs and earn some kale like others do? They ain't no sense in them fool rigs that never' do a thing but buzz!" "O ancient simpleton!" I cried, "Do you not know that this here geek gets twenty thousand bones a ride and banks a million every week. These men that pull' the flying act are »imply weighted down with mon!" "Gee!" cried the rube, "Is that a fact! And earns it, likely! Well, I swan!" The scope of man's inventive mind. The mystery of human flight, had failed to penetrate his rind because there was no coin in sight. But when I told him that it pays to lead the dashing airman's life he watched the show with frank amaze, and wrote about it to his wife. BRETHERTOX. Let us hope at least that war discussions in Congress will not put the Capitol in the class of the Oscar II. The Federal Express has been discontinued, »nd we don't see why considering that it only ran between big league cities. If you think you have heard everything and suffered much, move next door to an apartment bouse in course of construction. It was the woman who discovered at the last moment that her ball gown didn't fit who told her friend to "shut up" when she coughed. Pennsylvania has a Republican politician whose middle name is Shunk, and the opposition news¬ papers had better caution their proofreaders to be careful of their spelling. After all, those two burglars who were dragged out of a drug store by the police may have been tacky. Lots of people are allowed to go ahead ¦without even so much as a warning. The District Commissioners will soon be torced to the conclusion that the people of Washington are not merely striving to conceal their affection by violently opposing their plan to take charge of the public schools. Representative Gardner belongs to a very large class ot persons who see peril to the Lrnited States in the event that Germany wins the war. But they .will never succeed in making those see it who want Germany to win. In denying every rumor that crops up as to the purpose ot his European trip Col. House is helping materially in the process of elimination, feeling confident no doubt that the newspapers will weary of speculating before the actual crisis approaches. Mrs. W. K.

No man in public life now carries greater .weight, or deserves to, than Secretary Garrison, and his statement to the House Military Com· mittee on the need of better defense for the coun¬ try was about as forcible it could be made.

Without apology and without boasting in advance, we invite the critical attention of all the readers of The Washington Herald this morning to The Washington Herald of tomorrow.the issue that will represent a depar¬ ture from the accepted standard of the Sunday morning newspaper and the beginning of an ex¬ periment, of which we want Washington readers to be the principal directors. Tomorrow's Herald. the Sunday issue.is to be primarily a newspaper, with the essential Sunday news features added to The Herald of week days, but supplied to the read¬ er at exactly the same price.ONE CF.NT. lt will be worth more than oni- cent; white paper which will be required for üie printing of the news alone will cost nearer two cents, for the news, be it remembered, is to predominate in the Sunday Herald beginning tomorrow. The Washington Herald confidently believes that Washington news¬ paper readers will be prompt to grasp the oppor¬ tunity to pay one cent for two cents worth of news alone, without putting any of the other at¬ tractive features of the Sunday issue into the scale at all. It believes, too, that there are many thou¬ sands of persons in Washington who, while they may have more leisure on Sundays than on week days, find too many other things appealing to their interest on that day to permit them to devote the necessary time to discovering the news among a vast amount of other matter in the morning paper that to them is of minor importance compared with the news of the day, the news oi Washington in particular, of the world in general,. And all this in compact form will be easily found in the Sun¬ day Herald. This is the theory upon which The Herald's experiment is constructed; what the fact is it will learn from its readers; and this is the reason why it invites their critical attention to to¬ morrow's issue. As a final hint, a reminder of a second cup of coffee after breakfast, or a third cup, as the case may be.but not like the thiriT cup for which a certain famous statesman reached in vain.there will be the Goldberg cartoons and the four- page comic section in colors in the Sunday Herald. You have only to reach for them and they are yours. The price is ONE CENT. We shall leave it to our readers to fix the value Forgetting It About the Persia. It will be a most unfortunate thing if the gov¬ ernment decides to take no action in the Persia case on the ground that no evidence is forthcom¬ ing as to how she was sunk. As a matter of fact there is about ten times as much evidence that she was sunk by an Austrian or Germán subma¬ rine as there was that the Maine was blown up by a Spanish bomb. But we went to war over the last-named incident. The Persia was sunk in a neighborhood where Austro-Grrman submarines are known to be operating and where there are no minefields within a hundred miles or more. More¬ over it is not in the least bit likely that she would have sunk as fast as she did if she had been struck by a mine. If the government now refuses to act for want of evidence it will mean that the practice of torpedoing passenger ships without warning will continue unchecked. It is only a question of the submarine remaining submerged, showing no flag and making a clean job of destruction. That done the "evidence" that Washington wants will never be forthcoming. Our government ought to say to Vienna and Germany "The next time a ship is torpedoed without the passengers being first re¬ moved to a place of safety we will declare war on both of you." It would not occur again. A Low Plot Exposed. Several days ago The Washington Herald com¬ mented on an alleged interview, which it had no reason to distrust since it appeared in that most reliable paper, the New York Times, in which Miss Mabel Boardnian, of the American Red Cross So¬ ciety, was quoted as having stated that Great Britain had stopped the sending of hospital, sup¬ plies of all sorts to Germany, thereby committing the "most inhuman act of the war." The report drew a denial from the British Embassy in Wash¬ ington, in which it was pointed out that only rub¬ ber goods had been refused entrance into Germany and that Great Britain had offered to allow these to pass if the American Red Cross could give some sort of guarantee that they would be used only for hospital purposes. This the American Red Cross could not do, as it has not been permit¬ ted to carry on its work in Germany. Wc have now received from the editor of the American Red Cross Magazine a clipping from a later issue of the New York Times containing a letter from Miss Boardman denying that she ever made such a statement and an expression of re¬ gret from the Times that it should have been "victimized." To that expression of regret we gladly add our own. Need it be said that our sat¬ isfaction at finding that Miss Boardnian repudiates the statements attributed to her only equals our regret at discovering that we have, though without negligence or ill-will, cast unmerited reflections on her fairmindedness. It is unfortunate if the matter must end here. For every hundred thousand Americans who read .and believe.the statements attributed to Miss Boardman not more than one has seen or will see her letter of repudiation. For the influences that were interested in circulating the libel are not at all anxious that its falsity should be made public. Surely it is possible for the New York Times and the Red Cross Society together to reveal the foun¬ tain head of this and other publicity matter put ? out with the avowed object of turning the people of the United States against Britain and her allies in such a way that all may know tnat, though Dernburg and Dumba have departed from our midst, their spirits go marching on. We shall ! never know until the war is ended how thoroughly German gold and German effort have succeeded in enmeshing the minds of Americans in a web of misinformation and lies and deceit. But here at least is an example that could and should be published broadcast through the land that all who jun may read. ^ The Luck Zone. H) JOHN I). BtllRV. The believer in luck was talking to me about an acquaintance who was having a successful ca¬ reer in politics. "It wouldn't surprise me if he wefe to reach a place of great distinction, in spite of his not having great ability." "What would the explanation be?" I said. "He's in the luck zone." The reply made me curious. My questioning brought out this answer: "Some people 'get in the luck zone early in life. Others get there in middle life or late in life, or they never get there at all. Some people get in for a short time and don't seem to be able to stay in. Others, like the man wc are speaking of, when once they get in, seem to be firmly planted there for good. They have one streak luck after another. Roosevelt used to be tne ideal example of this kind in our public life. But during the past few years luck has turned against him and it looks now as if he might never gH into the luck zone again. But I have such faith in his luck that I believe, one of these days, perhaps very soon, wc shall, find him standing there with the people gathering around him as they used to do." Though I was interested in these remarks, I did not wholly agree with the spirit behind them. What I heard called "luck" seemed to me to be associated with qualities not necessarily related to luck, ability to make the most of a situation, con¬ fidence, energy, persistence, together with other qualities belonging to character. Roosevelt, though he had undoubtedly been lucky at certain stages of his brilliant career, had not by any means relied on luck for his success. For example, when he was virtually forced to take the nomination for \ ice President, many people believed that his po¬ litical career had been side-traclfffl and were astounded when the death of McKinley, at the hand of an assassin, made him President. But, if lhat assassination had not taken place, even in the Vice Presidency, Roosevelt would have made him¬ self a powerful figure. Besides, as President, if lie had not possessed the qualities necessary to meet so great an emergency, he never could have ft* ? ? the confidence and support of the country. As a matter of fact, in one sense, we all live in the luck zone. Kvery day opportunities come to us for good. It is for us to accept or reject. The saying applies even to those who are not given what wc call a fair chance in life, to the disin¬ herited. For, cruel as their lot must be, it, too, has its reliefs in those dispensations of Providence which are not in any way associated with wordly advantage. It is unquestionable that some people have spent all their lives in poverty and have yet led happy lives. They surely belong in the luck zone. On the other hand, there arc those who apparently spend their whole lives in what the world regards as the luck zone, who are surround¬ ed with the tokens of luck, and who are neverthe¬ less among the most miserable of the earth. What is the explanation? It seems to mc that it is simple; The real luck zone lies within our¬ selves. It carries with it a kind of alcVemy, a gift far greater than the power the believers in alchemy used to long for and that some of them used to strive for all their days. The daily ex¬ periences it can turn into gold. The people who are always having good things happen to them, really good things, the people that go radiantly sailing through life, as a rule, have a great deal of confidence, not only in themselves, but in the multitude of subtle forces that influence us in our living, that are almost a part of us. When they wake up in the morning they are likely to have a pleasant seitsc of renewal. They approach the day with cheerful expectations. They start out in a state of mind that tends to make the day suc¬ cessful. So many of us, on the other hand, begin in a way that is simply ruinous, that shows we are far removed from any state of mind associated with the luck zone. If luck came near we should be likely to scare it off. The radiant people, how¬ ever, are instantly at home with luck. They can even achieve the feat of turning bad luck into good luck. Sometimes, of course, bad luck seems to drop out of the skies. On some people it falls like the rain. "When sorrows come," sayl Shakespeare, "they come not single spies, but in battalions." Often, it should be noted, however, that there is ;i relation between sorrows and between troubles of all kinds. If it ilocs not lie in the trials them¬ selves, it may lie in the attitude of mind with which the trials arc met, so often multiplying their number. To know how to meet a trial is to minimize it and to weaken its capacity for propa¬ gating. There are those who after one disappoint¬ ment act as if they deliberately entered the zone of failure and set up there a permanent residence. Just now we arc witnessing failure on a colossal scale in Europe. One of the saddest of its many «ad features is thai by most people it is not recog¬ nized as failure. But, of course, it represents the break-down of qualities that are among the most . aluable possessions in human nature. It presents ï spectacle where all the resources of civilization are dedicated to savagery. Among the many les¬ sons that it has for us is the lesson that, like in¬ dividuals, nations get into states of mind inevit¬ ably productive of good luck or bail luck. Europe is now in the zone of ill-luck, operating in a way lhat leads from infamy to infamy. The warring nations arc behaving exactly like those law-break ers who arc condemned because they commit crime after crime, who are often judged in our courts and sentenced according to the number of [heir crimes. The habitual criminal is simply one who li\es in the crime zone. He Fonction» in criminality. Like thr warring nations he, too, has his justifications. The world has learned to de¬ spise him when he is organized into a great army. "As long as war is wicked,'" Oscar Wilde once said, "it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be pop¬ ular." In riurope just now* there are millions of what might be called unlucky people. But luck has lit¬ tle or nothing to do with their wretched state. They arc simply the prey of forces let loose by- man, forces that man long ago learned to.control. They are evidences that, like good luck, bad luck can result from character, and they remind us that luck in general is almost wholly an expression of causes that find their starting place in human na¬ ture. The Factory Peril. For a noncombatant to get within the firing line ot the bloody European war is considered an impossibility. There is a reason.it is a dangerous place.one's life would be in jeopardy. Here in New York are more than 1,000,000 persons, work¬ ing every day, in places almost as dangerous as the firing line of Europe. They go and come with no thought of danger, merely because they have thus far escaped death and injury. Yet a tragedy might be enacted at any moment. Some time ago the cloak, suit and skirt industries of New York engaged Dr. George M. Price to inspect the fire hazards of the many buildings devoted to these manufacturing interests. Dr. Price has made his report, in which he says that, nit of 928 buildings, thirty were found to be perfectly safe. It might require a mathematician to figure out how much better chance one of the employes of these struc¬ tures has of escaping death than he would have on the firing line..Insurance Press. - Caterer in a New Line.

Mr. Clay shifted uncomfortably as the flght went forward; explained his posl- tion overmuch; sought to conciliate opln Ion on Çot h sides; and lost support where he had seemed most likely to receive it. The abolitionists had brought a "Lib- erty" party into existence, and now put a candidate of their own into the field. They drew .their strength more from the Whigs than from tne Democrats, and their ranks were swelled more and more, as Mr. Clay made doubting Whigs more and more un en .«y. Their sixty thousand votes decided the election. Mr. folk spoke but one purpose, showed himself a frank, unhesitating party man, held his foilouers to an open path, ano by narrow majorities, won in fifteen out of the twenty-six States.

According to the estab¬ lished policy of the navy. Admiral Fletch¬ er's term of duty as commander-ln-chief of the fleet will come to a close next spring.

LUCK »AND PLUCK.'Twixt Luck and Pluck

Lies but a letter..Right good is Luck.But Pluck is better.

For Luck you sitAnd wait his wooing.

But Pluck means Grit,And Something Doing.

"Flight1 wandered by the White House grounds and

aaw an aviator fly. It was a wondrous sight, byZounds! the way that man abused the "sky! Heturned and twisted, rose and swooped and threwa brace of somersaults, a dozen kinds of loops he

9 looped, he danced the one-step and the waltz.There was a farmer standing near. He watchedthe show with callous eye, and chewed tobacco;it was clear he had no use for men who fly. Andwhen I said to him "How great the genius of thehuman race, that emulates the bird's estate andcircumnavigates in space?"· He simply answeredwith a grunt. "Mebbe," says he, "but I allowthere aint no use in such a stunt. Why don't hego and drive a plow, or rastle stumps or fattenpigs and earn some kale like others do? Theyain't no sense in them fool rigs that never' do a

thing but buzz!" "O ancient simpleton!" I cried,"Do you not know that this here geek gets twentythousand bones a ride and banks a million everyweek. These men that pull' the flying act are

»imply weighted down with mon!" "Gee!" criedthe rube, "Is that a fact! And earns it, likely!Well, I swan!" The scope of man's inventivemind. The mystery of human flight, had failedto penetrate his rind because there was no coinin sight. But when I told him that it pays to leadthe dashing airman's life he watched the show withfrank amaze, and wrote about it to his wife.

Let us hope at least that war discussions in

Congress will not put the Capitol in the class ofthe Oscar II.

The Federal Express has been discontinued,»nd we don't see why considering that it onlyran between big league cities.

If you think you have heard everything andsuffered much, move next door to an apartmentbouse in course of construction.

It was the woman who discovered at the lastmoment that her ball gown didn't fit who told herfriend to "shut up" when she coughed.

Pennsylvania has a Republican politician whosemiddle name is Shunk, and the opposition news¬

papers had better caution their proofreaders to becareful of their spelling.

After all, those two burglars who were draggedout of a drug store by the police may have beentacky. Lots of people are allowed to go ahead¦without even so much as a warning.

The District Commissioners will soon be torcedto the conclusion that the people of Washingtonare not merely striving to conceal their affectionby violently opposing their plan to take charge ofthe public schools.

Representative Gardner belongs to a very largeclass ot persons who see peril to the Lrnited Statesin the event that Germany wins the war. But they.will never succeed in making those see it who want

Germany to win.

In denying every rumor that crops up as tothe purpose ot his European trip Col. House ishelping materially in the process of elimination,feeling confident no doubt that the newspaperswill weary of speculating before the actual crisisapproaches.

No man in public life now carries greater.weight, or deserves to, than Secretary Garrison,and his statement to the House Military Com·mittee on the need of better defense for the coun¬try was about as forcible a» it could be made.Besides the fatts that any citizen can observe re¬garding our means of defense and the conditionsoT modern warfare, it is reasonable for the privatecitizen to assume that the President and his Cabi¬net know a good many things about our relationswith foreign countries th^t »re not published inall tie newspaper»..Philadelphia Record

A One-Cent Sunday Morning NewspaperJust a word this mc ning right at the top and

next to reading matter! Without apology andwithout boasting in advance, we invite the criticalattention of all the readers of The WashingtonHerald this morning to The Washington Herald oftomorrow.the issue that will represent a depar¬ture from the accepted standard of the Sundaymorning newspaper and the beginning of an ex¬

periment, of which we want Washington readersto be the principal directors. Tomorrow's Herald.the Sunday issue.is to be primarily a newspaper,with the essential Sunday news features added toThe Herald of week days, but supplied to the read¬er at exactly the same price.ONE CF.NT. lt willbe worth more than oni- cent; white paper whichwill be required for üie printing of the news alonewill cost nearer two cents, for the news, be itremembered, is to predominate in the SundayHerald beginning tomorrow. The WashingtonHerald confidently believes that Washington news¬

paper readers will be prompt to grasp the oppor¬tunity to pay one cent for two cents worth ofnews alone, without putting any of the other at¬tractive features of the Sunday issue into the scaleat all. It believes, too, that there are many thou¬sands of persons in Washington who, while theymay have more leisure on Sundays than on weekdays, find too many other things appealing to theirinterest on that day to permit them to devote thenecessary time to discovering the news among a

vast amount of other matter in the morning paperthat to them is of minor importance compared withthe news of the day, the news oi Washington inparticular, of the world in general,. And all thisin compact form will be easily found in the Sun¬day Herald. This is the theory upon which TheHerald's experiment is constructed; what the factis it will learn from its readers; and this is thereason why it invites their critical attention to to¬morrow's issue.

As a final hint, a reminder of a second cup ofcoffee after breakfast, or a third cup, as the case

may be.but not like the thiriT cup for which a

certain famous statesman reached in vain.therewill be the Goldberg cartoons and the four-page comic section in colors in the SundayHerald. You have only to reach for them andthey are yours. The price is ONE CENT. Weshall leave it to our readers to fix the value

Forgetting It About the Persia.It will be a most unfortunate thing if the gov¬

ernment decides to take no action in the Persiacase on the ground that no evidence is forthcom¬ing as to how she was sunk. As a matter of factthere is about ten times as much evidence thatshe was sunk by an Austrian or Germán subma¬rine as there was that the Maine was blown upby a Spanish bomb. But we went to war over

the last-named incident. The Persia was sunk ina neighborhood where Austro-Grrman submarinesare known to be operating and where there are no

minefields within a hundred miles or more. More¬over it is not in the least bit likely that she wouldhave sunk as fast as she did if she had been struckby a mine. If the government now refuses to actfor want of evidence it will mean that the practiceof torpedoing passenger ships without warning willcontinue unchecked. It is only a question of thesubmarine remaining submerged, showing no flagand making a clean job of destruction. That donethe "evidence" that Washington wants will never

be forthcoming. Our government ought to say toVienna and Germany "The next time a ship istorpedoed without the passengers being first re¬

moved to a place of safety we will declare war on

both of you." It would not occur again.

A Low Plot Exposed.Several days ago The Washington Herald com¬

mented on an alleged interview, which it had no

reason to distrust since it appeared in that mostreliable paper, the New York Times, in which MissMabel Boardnian, of the American Red Cross So¬ciety, was quoted as having stated that GreatBritain had stopped the sending of hospital, sup¬plies of all sorts to Germany, thereby committingthe "most inhuman act of the war." The reportdrew a denial from the British Embassy in Wash¬ington, in which it was pointed out that only rub¬ber goods had been refused entrance into Germanyand that Great Britain had offered to allow theseto pass if the American Red Cross could givesome sort of guarantee that they would be usedonly for hospital purposes. This the AmericanRed Cross could not do, as it has not been permit¬ted to carry on its work in Germany.

Wc have now received from the editor of theAmerican Red Cross Magazine a clipping from a

later issue of the New York Times containing a

letter from Miss Boardman denying that she ever

made such a statement and an expression of re¬

gret from the Times that it should have been"victimized." To that expression of regret we

gladly add our own. Need it be said that our sat¬isfaction at finding that Miss Boardnian repudiatesthe statements attributed to her only equals our

regret at discovering that we have, though withoutnegligence or ill-will, cast unmerited reflections on

her fairmindedness.It is unfortunate if the matter must end here.

For every hundred thousand Americans who read.and believe.the statements attributed to MissBoardman not more than one has seen or will see

her letter of repudiation. For the influences thatwere interested in circulating the libel are notat all anxious that its falsity should be made public.Surely it is possible for the New York Times andthe Red Cross Society together to reveal the foun¬tain head of this and other publicity matter put ?

out with the avowed object of turning the peopleof the United States against Britain and her alliesin such a way that all may know tnat, thoughDernburg and Dumba have departed from our

midst, their spirits go marching on. We shall !never know until the war is ended how thoroughlyGerman gold and German effort have succeededin enmeshing the minds of Americans in a webof misinformation and lies and deceit. But hereat least is an example that could and should bepublished broadcast through the land that all whojun may read. ^

The Luck Zone.H) JOHN I). BtllRV.

The believer in luck was talking to me aboutan acquaintance who was having a successful ca¬reer in politics. "It wouldn't surprise me if hewefe to reach a place of great distinction, in spiteof his not having great ability."

"What would the explanation be?" I said."He's in the luck zone."The reply made me curious. My questioning

brought out this answer: "Some people 'get inthe luck zone early in life. Others get there inmiddle life or late in life, or they never get thereat all. Some people get in for a short time anddon't seem to be able to stay in. Others, like theman wc are speaking of, when once they get in,seem to be firmly planted there for good. Theyhave one streak oí luck after another. Rooseveltused to be tne ideal example of this kind in ourpublic life. But during the past few years luckhas turned against him and it looks now as if hemight never gH into the luck zone again. But Ihave such faith in his luck that I believe, one ofthese days, perhaps very soon, wc shall, find himstanding there with the people gathering aroundhim as they used to do."

Though I was interested in these remarks, Idid not wholly agree with the spirit behind them.What I heard called "luck" seemed to me to beassociated with qualities not necessarily related toluck, ability to make the most of a situation, con¬fidence, energy, persistence, together with otherqualities belonging to character. Roosevelt, thoughhe had undoubtedly been lucky at certain stagesof his brilliant career, had not by any means reliedon luck for his success. For example, when hewas virtually forced to take the nomination for\ ice President, many people believed that his po¬litical career had been side-traclfffl and wereastounded when the death of McKinley, at thehand of an assassin, made him President. But, iflhat assassination had not taken place, even in theVice Presidency, Roosevelt would have made him¬self a powerful figure. Besides, as President, iflie had not possessed the qualities necessary tomeet so great an emergency, he never could haveft* ? ? the confidence and support of the country.

As a matter of fact, in one sense, we all livein the luck zone. Kvery day opportunities cometo us for good. It is for us to accept or reject.The saying applies even to those who are not givenwhat wc call a fair chance in life, to the disin¬herited. For, cruel as their lot must be, it, too,has its reliefs in those dispensations of Providencewhich are not in any way associated with wordlyadvantage. It is unquestionable that some peoplehave spent all their lives in poverty and have yetled happy lives. They surely belong in the luckzone. On the other hand, there arc those whoapparently spend their whole lives in what theworld regards as the luck zone, who are surround¬ed with the tokens of luck, and who are neverthe¬less among the most miserable of the earth.

What is the explanation? It seems to mc thatit is simple; The real luck zone lies within our¬selves. It carries with it a kind of alcVemy, agift far greater than the power the believers inalchemy used to long for and that some of themused to strive for all their days. The daily ex¬periences it can turn into gold.

The people who are always having good thingshappen to them, really good things, the people thatgo radiantly sailing through life, as a rule, have a

great deal of confidence, not only in themselves,but in the multitude of subtle forces that influenceus in our living, that are almost a part of us. Whenthey wake up in the morning they are likely tohave a pleasant seitsc of renewal. They approachthe day with cheerful expectations. They start outin a state of mind that tends to make the day suc¬cessful. So many of us, on the other hand, beginin a way that is simply ruinous, that shows we arefar removed from any state of mind associatedwith the luck zone. If luck came near we shouldbe likely to scare it off. The radiant people, how¬ever, are instantly at home with luck. They caneven achieve the feat of turning bad luck into goodluck.

Sometimes, of course, bad luck seems to dropout of the skies. On some people it falls like therain. "When sorrows come," sayl Shakespeare,"they come not single spies, but in battalions."Often, it should be noted, however, that there is;i relation between sorrows and between troublesof all kinds. If it ilocs not lie in the trials them¬selves, it may lie in the attitude of mind withwhich the trials arc met, so often multiplying theirnumber. To know how to meet a trial is tominimize it and to weaken its capacity for propa¬gating. There are those who after one disappoint¬ment act as if they deliberately entered the zoneof failure and set up there a permanent residence.

Just now we arc witnessing failure on a colossalscale in Europe. One of the saddest of its many«ad features is thai by most people it is not recog¬nized as failure. But, of course, it represents thebreak-down of qualities that are among the most. aluable possessions in human nature. It presentsï spectacle where all the resources of civilizationare dedicated to savagery. Among the many les¬sons that it has for us is the lesson that, like in¬dividuals, nations get into states of mind inevit¬ably productive of good luck or bail luck. Europeis now in the zone of ill-luck, operating in a waylhat leads from infamy to infamy. The warringnations arc behaving exactly like those law-breakers who arc condemned because they commitcrime after crime, who are often judged in ourcourts and sentenced according to the number of[heir crimes. The habitual criminal is simply onewho li\es in the crime zone. He Fonction» incriminality. Like thr warring nations he, too, hashis justifications. The world has learned to de¬spise him when he is organized into a great army."As long as war is wicked,'" Oscar Wilde oncesaid, "it will always have its fascination. When itis looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be pop¬ular."

In riurope just now* there are millions of whatmight be called unlucky people. But luck has lit¬tle or nothing to do with their wretched state.They arc simply the prey of forces let loose by-man, forces that man long ago learned to.control.They are evidences that, like good luck, bad luckcan result from character, and they remind us thatluck in general is almost wholly an expression ofcauses that find their starting place in human na¬ture.

The Factory Peril.For a noncombatant to get within the firingline ot the bloody European war is considered an

impossibility. There is a reason.it is a dangerousplace.one's life would be in jeopardy. Here inNew York are more than 1,000,000 persons, work¬ing every day, in places almost as dangerous asthe firing line of Europe. They go and come withno thought of danger, merely because they havethus far escaped death and injury. Yet a tragedymight be enacted at any moment.

The summer of IS.« had brought to-,gether again th« nominating convention*of the parti««, to make ready for thenext presidential election; and the Senatçhad waited to vole as the Whig conven¬tion .-should wl>h It to vote.The Whig convention had aald nothing

about the annexation of Texas In ifdeclaration of principles, hut it had putMr. Clay In nomination for the presi¬dency, and »Mr. Clay, whom ail tbe partyknew to be its real leader, had decidedagainst any Immediate step toward* an¬nexation.The Democratic convention, more bold

and candid than the Whig, declared veryflatly for "the rcoccupution of Oregonand the «annexation of Texas at .theen rMeet practicable period" und mad*-?thoae critical matters distinct as the realtsauea of the campaign.I'nnble to agree upon any one of the;

recognized Democratic leaders for thepresidential nomination, |t named MiJamos ?. Polk, of Tennessee, as the can¬didate of the party, a man long prominent In the Democratic ranks in th*House of Representativos, and an avowedadvocate of annexation.Mr. Clay shifted uncomfortably as the

flght went forward; explained his posl-tion overmuch; sought to conciliate oplnIon on Çot h sides; and lost support wherehe had seemed most likely to receive it.The abolitionists had brought a "Lib-

erty" party into existence, and now put a

candidate of their own into the field.They drew .their strength more from

the Whigs than from tne Democrats, andtheir ranks were swelled more and more,as Mr. Clay made doubting Whigs moreand more un en .«y. Their sixty thousandvotes decided the election.Mr. folk spoke but one purpose, showed

himself a frank, unhesitating party man,held his foilouers to an open path, anoby narrow majorities, won in fifteen outof the twenty-six States.

It wa« when the campaign was overand the election decided that Mr

It remained for Mr. Polk t· dealwith the con sequen cea.The programm· of his party aaemed

to hav· aaddled two wars upon himMexico would quit· certainly contestthe boundary claims of Texas at thesouth; and the Democratic programmecoupled "th· reoccupation of Oregon"with "the reannexatlon of Texaa,".a matter which very likely held at Ilaheart a war with England.

Kusfcla had seemed the rival claim-ant most to be feared in th« Oregoncountry In 1S23, when Mr. Monro·.looking towards that quarter ai w«lias towards the south, uttered hi· atg-? Incanì warning to the Europeanpowers against any aggression, wheth¬er in search of t«riltoty or of sov-.relgnty, in the Americas; but Kusatahad agreed with England and theUnited States. In U24 and 182&. tomake no claim south of t>0" 40' northlatitude; and England and the «Unitedtitate·, waiving for the time theirOwn rival pretensions, had maintainedsince that settlement an Informal Jointoccupation of the country.
