The Kew Frontier.
lo In and possess tha land which tha lrd sware
unto your fathers to aive unto them and their seed
after them. Dauteronomy 1:1.
With this as his text, the Rev. J. 8. Lyons,
D. P., a noted Atlanta minister, recently
preached a forcoful sermon on the city as the
new frontier of our American life. He, said:
The creat battlefield of tha new conquest of
America will ba In tha American city. For th'rty
year tha majority of tha people of America have
lived In the cities. Tha dominating Influence of tha
city Is ever being mad mora plain. The problem of
the country church Is sore and pressing; and surely
must not be neg-lected while we attend to the needs of
tha eity.
But the great conquering effort, it Is urged,
must be spent on the city. The view Is a com
monly accepted one. In the vortex of city life the
many streams of population converge. There
the missionary finds the men of other lands
come to his very door for help. All that is con
fusing, complex, conglomerate In our twentieth
century life Is found here in the busy, bnstling,
cosmopolitan city. And to do its best work, the
church, It would naturally seem, must get as
close to the very heart of this frontier as pos
sible. )
Why, then, may we ask,' are so many of our
churches leaving the downtown districts, which
are the hearts of the frontiers, and repairing to
prettier, pleasanter places out as far from the
"madding strife" of hoi polol as they can get?
Is not the devil bolder, are not the pitfalls of
sin more numerous down there in the busier
districts? Where do you find 4be Salvation
Army and the Volunteers of America and simi
lar barracks, if not in the downtown quarters?
Where did Jerry Macauley go to establish his
great mission for miserable men but on the
Bowery of New York.
It seems difficult to understand why some
of the more Imposing and commodious church
edifices might not be erected nearer the heart
of this frontier. Wherever this is done as it
Is in msny cities the church is usually the
most active and influential in the community.
It seems hot only running away from a great
need and ' opportunity for churches to desert
their downtown stations for the politer loca
tions, but worse still, a manifestation of Indif
ference to the salvation of the so-called "man
of the street," which is mighty bard for the man
of the street to reconclU with certain noble pro
fessions. ' ' I

Here's a How-dy-do.
For the English to question their first sea
lord of the admiralty because of his Austrian
nativity seems like straining at a gnat and swal
lowing a camel when we consider the ties ot
blood kin existing between the king of England
and the kaiser, also between the kaiser and the
czar, as well as tha king and the ciar. To be sore,
the Prince ot Battenberg, who has Just resigned
from the British admiralty under stress ot this
criticism, also bears relation to both tha German
emperor and Russian czar, which recalls a very
Interesting interview with him on the occasion
of his vialt to the United States a few yirs ago,
when a New Tork reporter asked him the Ques
tion, "What do you think of tha possibility of
war eventually with England and Russia as al
lies against Germany?" Eyeing his questioner
for a second, the prince replied:
"Young man, I am an admiral in the British
navy, brother-in-law to the esaf of Russia' and
cousin to th emperor of Germany.' 't You arc on
very thin ice and I refuse to skate." '
But it England or any of the other principals'
in this war stop to untangle the skeins of blood
relationship between the various antagonists)
they may not get as much fighting done as they
had planned. Sorely there must have been some
more substantial reason for the popular 'dis
pleasure with the head of the British navy than
merely his Austrian birth and Teutonlo rela
tionship. . (
lulling1 tb.e Cotton Embargo.
Denmark goes about tha business ot buying
cotton in tha United Slates in a way calculated
not only to got what It Is after, but to open tha
way to tha resumption of the cotton trade, re
sulting greatly la tUe relief of the situation In
this country, Tha ' Danish government has
passed an act, which the king haa signed, pro
hibiting the reahlpment of any cotton or cotton
goods imported Into that country; all such
must be retained for Denmark's own use. Thia
should meet England's objections to cotton
shipments from the United States on the ground
that, though tha exports were intended for neu
tral countries, they might find their way into
Genrtany or Austria. This position on the part
ot England has amounted to a virtual embargo
on cotton, which, it ahould ba remembered, hs
at no time been listed as contraband ot war.
But tha key to tha problem Ilea not so much
in'an available market as in the ships tor toaas-
port That much is admitted by foreign trade
experts, who are cow engaged In an effort to
find vessels for fate shipment. England has
specifically stated that Its sea patrols will not
Interfere with American cotton as contraband,
and this assurance Is taken as a auftclent guar
anty that American cotton may safely seek
foreign markets wherever , possible. Bach im
munity would not, however, extend to vessels
of a hostile Hag, no more for cotton than any
other cargo. It cornea down, then, simply to a
matter of finding the right ships tor the exporta
tion, and that means that they must be ships
flying the American, of some other, neutnal,
colors.
If the situation has . been ao tar cleared,
surely the remaining obstacle to a healthy cot
ton export trade will speedily be removed. If
so, then the case of tha south and, Indeed, our
entire country, 1 not aa bad as might otherwise
be. For it will pay such foreign nations as aan
do so under existing conditions to lay in great
stores of cotton at prevailing prices.
Cowardice in Cities.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago takes a very su
perficial vtew of the situation, in our Judgment,
when he' says that if the newspapers ot that city
would "stop, advertising the municipal lodging
houses and general relief work," Chicago might
not become the meeca every winter for thou
sands of men without visible means of support.
The Chicago Herald, we feel sure, gets much
closer to the meat of the question when It says
that enforcement of the "move on' order la
most ot the middle west cities ha far more to
do with it than all the publicity given to such
things by the newspapers.
As with tha hobo or idle man, so It has al
ways been with the victims of the so-called
social evil, the cowardly and foolish custom ot
one city passing them on to the next Is at the
bottom of much ot the trouble. Each city hss
its own responsibility, which, if it would meet
instead of shirk, wonld help greatly, toward the
best regulation of the sttustlon. And we use
the word "regulation" Instead of "solution" ad
visedly. If your neighbor cleaned up Ms own
back yard by dumping the rubbish over Into
yours, you would have recourse against the im
position and would not hesitate to. take 1L But
when one city runs all the flotsam and Jetsam
of human society it can from Its own back yard
into that of Its neighbor, its neighbor has very
little recourse, except to pass on the undesira
bles to the next city. This process is continued
Indefinitely and each city In turn smugly flat
ters Itself that it has solved its social evil or
unemployed problem, when it has solved noth
ing, but only helped to complicate the general
problem by a mean and cowardly evasion of its
own duty and part in the effort at solution.
The Chicago Herald Is right, if we may be
permitted to go by experience. If every other
city In the middle west would accept this view
and do what it can In the matter, Chicago, as
well as the unfortunate men, would be much
better off.
A Recording Telephone.
Not long ago The Bee adverted to the pos
sibility of the ornamental telephone with the
remark that no good reason existed why the
telephone set ahould not' develop along artistic
lines the same as had the electric lamp, nor why
the telephone should not be made to harmonize
In design with the other equipment of the room.
The telephone has proved to be such a
wonder-worker that the perfection of a record
ing device 'will be accepted without surprise,
for the announcement now comes of an inven
tion, credited to Edison, by which the conversa
tion that comes over the wire may be Inscribed
Automatically on a phonograph and reproduced
at will, and more than once it desired. As yet
the "telescribe," as it is called, requires con
siderable personal manipulation, or. In other
words, Is in its experimental stage. The prac
ticability of the Idea, however, certainly looks
Inviting its finality would permit your tele
phone to work continuously even In your ab
sence, and enable you on your return to pick up
all the accumulated messages. It Is' hinted
that the same device may record both sides of a
telephonic- talk so that it may be verified at any
time Just the same as If the conversation were
aarried on in the presence ot a stenographer
taking it down. So prepare for the time when
you will have to be as careful of what you say
over the 'phone as of what you put down in
black and whits on paper.
- Mistreatment of Jurors.
The office of Juror is, theoretically, at least
a solemn one, but the Juror is 'also a badly mis
treated person. In the very selection of Jurors
the intent of the law is often reversed tn the
placing of a premium on stupidity and credu
lity. This is done by the court excusing the busy
men, and, aa most people knew, by lawyers
holding out tor veniremen who either have hot,
or are willing to swear they hav not, "formed
an opinion." . ; v ;t , " f ,
- Another way is by frying' io force verdicts,
by holding juries as prisoners, under lock and
key for days at a time after they have frankly
declared their' inability to arrive at a verdict
Such an incident is reported from Scranton, Pa.,
where a Jury In a murder case was imprisoned
for seven days though its members had told the
court, they could not agree. Such a proceeding
tends to make Jury service something to be
avoided as a pest -Suppose, after a thor
ough deliberation upon all the evidence, twelve
men, finding it absolutely Impossible to reach
a verdict are starved Into agreement what pos
sible relation could such a verdict bear to the
principles ot Justice in the case? Where a hu
man Ufa is at stake it is at least detendible and
yet most common. - This is one thing that de
stroys public confidence in the courts.
Ite Luxs Passengers Below Decks.
On of tha marooned American tourists re
lating his experience in beating it back home,
cites with, satisfaction the many instances where
the idle rich were compelled to accept . second
class, and even the steerage, as "tending to
humble somewhat the arrogant pride of our ar
istocracy, thus traveling the great' common
way." Tha pith and point ot his observation is
that tha distance between the steerage and tha
aabla de luxe haa been greatly shortened for a
large number of people who were forced against
their will to learn that it is quite possible to
travel comfortably, if sot luxuriously, aa sec
sad class passengers and , at correspondingly
lessened cost In fact, the mania of the rich
and tha near-rich tor the top deck and the eap
taia's quarters ia more for show purposes than
anything else to put 'on airs ot excluslveness,
because the cabins de luxe are usually few, and
the below-deck staterooms much more numer
ous. It is ot common notoriety that abroad
none but Americans with mora money than they
know what to do with, insist on first etaaa rail
way tickets, while' the natives ' prefer second
e'asa, and even third class, and not necessarily
for financial reasons. Coma to think of It, we
do pot believe it did any harm whatever to com
pel our home-coming plutocrats to enjoy tha
beauties of the voyage second cabin and steer-a.

God bless the old United States,
uu -"'M 'i"r ieopie strong;
God guard the peace wRhln her gates
And fill her land with song.
Teach us who dwell beneath her flag
To cherish peaceful ways:
To cease of cannula strength to brag
And uniforms to praise.
God bless the old United States,
Where Freedom's banner files.
Where Joyously the mother waits
With bright and amlllng eyes.
The father, coming home at night '
His day of toiling done,
And where to meet him with delight
,Hla happy children run.

Here all the tears are honest tears
Ana pain is nonest pain.
And here, secure throughout ths years
The tollera' homes remain. 7
Here firealdes are not desolate
By needles shot and shall,
But honor and reward await
The men who labor well.
God bless the old United States,
Ood bless her people, too;
God keep forever at her gates
The old red, whit, nd blue.
And may Its. beauties never die, '
but every year increase;
Ood grant that flag shall ever fly
Above a land at peace.
