Mount Aky News. MAKING MILLIONAIRES. The lawmakxni of this country have s wonderful way of Uxing the whole people In ■ way to make • big bom-h of mlUkoalm. The recent tariff tow to tupposed to acres si the coat of roods to the consumer to the aMMit of four billion dollars which toll go Into the hands of tlto rich Manufacturer*, who wore already rich ■MSfh to ha abla to get Juat this kind of a tariff hill wads into a tow, which to evidence eoough that they did not need the money. The price of clothing and every other article of commerce usually haM'fct by the average man, will ha increased in coat to the man who buys fc a* the result of this new law. The tacTssse in the coat of goods if evenly dhridrd would make just four thous and new millionaires. And the whole body of people are just that much poorer than they would have otherwise been tn the tune of four billion dollars. But it was to get Just this kind of a thing done that the great trusts of the country lined up two years ago and spent millions to get the present administration in power. If the peo ple sre satisfied with this kind of a deal it is their business, but how to reconcile such s state of affairs with any rule of common justice would be hard to explain. THE TURKISH VICTORY' Tito victory of the Turkish armies om the Grssks has created a situs Um that ia mora inumtiac than anything that has been dona since Um world war ended. The Turk waa on the side of Germany ia the great war, and went down in defeat aloag with Germany. With the end ef the war the allies took all of the Turk territory in Europe and their capital. Cons tan t in o pie. from then and re stricted their national territory to a half daaert waste of cooatry in Asia. Over this section of cooatry Greeks have lived for ares just aa they lire in the cities of all countries. The hostility of the Turk waa directed especially at thaae Greek residents of their country, and for months, now, they have been driving them oat in many ways. This is part of the war that is rag ing between the Turk and the Greek. The religion of the Turk is Mo hammedanism But this form of re ligion i* not confined to the Turk. A large part of India and Egypt follows this religion. Now the interesting part of all this is tha the man who is a follower of Mohammed ia a fighter, for it is a part of his religion to fight. lie is taught to carry his re ligion to other peoples by the sword. Now that the Turk has gained a groat victory there is rejoicing in alt tlut Mnkamm*ri mnntrv oiul *^*>1 »r» celebrating and r» jo icing in a way that w* can hardly understand. England ia the ruler of both India and Egypt. hot England is no friend at Turkey. Now the danger is that ths Mohammedans in both Egypt and India will be so encouraged by the Turkish victory a* to undertake to throw off the English rule and liberate their country from their so called oppressor. Millions of the peo ple of India are in sympathy with the Turk and if they rise in rebellion England will have real trouble on her hands. Again Constantinople, one of the greatest cities in the world, ia held by the allies aa a neutral city and gaverned by a commission appointed fey the allies. Prance ia believed to be In sympathy with the Turk and if ahe faila to line up with England and help to hold the city, then England «HI not ba able to keep the Turk fortes from capturing it before other treope could be aent to its aid. There ia grave danger that Rusala wO now line up with Turkey, and H ia eaay to aee how another world con flict could eaaily be precipitated in a 4ay and again throw all that wuntiy a great military camp with every aatkm lined up and again fighting for all aha can. Of course h U to be hoped that the TM wiB not be an aggraeahre aa to jilal n h- -a|| OwW BUvn worio niBiumincT, Duv than la grave danger that he will now Ivy to pull tha temple down even if ha ia to go down with K. feae wTawtoM^t the MatitMHat shureh hi Slleam last weak.

DISCIPLINING THE VbUTH Tho queation of diacipllna in a achool ia one of tha moat important that tha teachnr muat handla. Soma teacher* vetn to he xlmoat failuroa in thair work becauae of thair Inability to pro party manage tha unruly itudent. It ia juat aa bad to be too lenient aa it ia to be too nevere with the pupil. iealing with the untrained youth. It ia ■ matter of judgment and wiadom, and unless the teacher has these men tal qualities the problem ia beyond him. In the history of our city x hooli we have had tear hern who allowed the unruly pupils to demoralise the whole achool; and then, at ether times, there ■ earned to be a diepoaition to have too little patience with the heady folka. It nami to as that if a student is an noying his teacher for any cause, an admirable way to ret at the adjust ment would be to send for the parent and confer freely with him before any definite action is taken. We suspect that the real trouble is In the child's home relations, after all; and it is In the home, by the parent, that the child muat be set right, If it ia ever done; at least this Is usually the case. It is s serious matter to expel a youth from achool. and this should never be done until every effort is made to rieht the trouble. It teems to be a fart that many of ♦he moat useful men and women of uur land in ynuth were poaaesaed with the apirit of rebellion against all re straint, and until thia apirit was con trolled they smounted to but little. That is what the schools are for—to train tho youth. DEFEAT OF THE GREEKS. The put few day* K*» witnessed the greatest defeat in battle that the world ha* known. We have in mind the defeat of the Greek armies by the Turks. Of tonne larger anniea have been matched against each other, but for rout and ruin and complete de moralisation. the reports that come here would lead one to think that the defeat of the Greeks is complete. It may be worth while to recall that during the world war Greece lined up with the Allies and her King, Con stantine who was a brother-in-law to the emperor of Germany, abdicated his throne and left the country. Then when the war ended the Greek people, in • most enthusiastic way, recalled him to the throne. No sooner was he again P9wer than he pot his own political favorites in charge of the amy and made war on the Turks in an effort to extend hi* territory to part of Asia. And tow, for many months, he has been vigorously fighting the Turks on his own land and had cap tured much of the Turkish territory. Two waeks ago the Turks started a battle in which they have practically destroyed or captured the entire Greek amy of aa many aa 180,000 soldier* and all their war equipment. The Greek amy la now Mem out of the country and what is to follow bo one can tell The Turk, emboldened by *urrsaa, May undertake to retake Constantinople, their ancfaat capital, and again recover their loot territory in Europe, lite Turk la a fighter al ways. and sfways a menace to thoaa who mm* r.ea about him.

A Ion if toward tha day* of tha aaaaion, whan tha i rrm of no bitamt to any except tha partiea to tham, Sheriff Ashburn ba (an to aipllwii Much difficulty In (atting Juror*. On tha laat day ha reached tha limit of hia resources and told tha Judge ha would hava to go oat In tha country and summon torn man far service. Hia honor aw a good many man (landing around tha room and told tha 9hariff to put <om of tham In tha bos, but ha waa in formed that they ware lawyer*. "That makaa no difference," said His Honor, "they'll make aa good juror* aa any body." The Sheriff thought tha Judge waa Joking a little, and so to carry tha Joke along, ha rallad, "Mr. Porter Gravea, go In tha Jury box." Stilt everyone supposed tha Judge to be joking. And Mr. Graeee to carry tha supposed Joke on took hia •oat In tha Jury box aa requested. And tha High Sheriff waa game enough to continue calling the lawyer* into tha Jury box until he had six of tham there for service: 8. P. Graves. R. C. Freeman, Wm. Gravea, W. L Recce, R. A. Freeman and W. A. Jackson. Those in attendance were beginning to wonder how the Judge would put tha finish to hia Joke, and he put the finish to it too, but not like everyone had expected. The climax came when he said to Clerk Jackson. "Mr. CWrk, swear the talismen." And so these lawyers were thrown into consterna tion when the fact dawned upon them that were then "duly sworn to sit upon the case, hear tha evidence and render their verdict accordingly." And word has Just come from Dohaon that law yers can render just about aa good service as juror* as any other class of men. Judge Brock will hold the criminal court in this county beginning the laat week in October, and it ia already being said that the fellows who tote guns, get drunk while operating a car. and who manufacture and deal in liquor will find rough sailing in hia court.

Young Mm Discharged Son# weeks ago thU paper carried on account of the arrest of five young men of this county charged with the death of Frost Snow, who wan found dead by the aid* of the road up near Round Peak about two months ago. The hearing wai held Tuesday before a Magistrate'* court at Round Peak composed of F. T. Lewelljrn, N. E. Boyle* and A. L. Sparger and the young men discharged for the lack of evidence that would show probable cause. The state attempted to show that these young men ran over Snow while they were out hunting liquor, and after killing him thus they be came excited and left hftq by the side of the road. The evidence of the members of the coroner's Jury was used by the defense, they stating that at the Inquest they found no signs of any personal violence. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Snow came to hi* death by excessive drink ing. After the burial of Snow mm parties rlshasd they saw hta wKh these hoy* and ft was than that the Sheriff made the arreat and tha Wear ing before the Magistrate** court followed.
