liam is doomed to failure. His recent
speech to the recruits at Potsdam shows
that he is utterly untitled to rule over
such people as the Germans. He ID an
anachronism-a monarch out of date. His
own words prove him to be menace to
civilization. They are these:
Recruits-You have before the priest ana altar
sworn tealiy TO me. You are too young 70 under
stand the true meaning of the words In which
you have sworn, but be diligent in following
the instructions given you. You have, my
children, sworn-that means you have given
your services to me, body and soul You have
only one enemy, and that is my enemy. In the
present socialistic agitation / may order You,
which God forbid, 70 shoot your relatives-your
brothers, even your parents-and you must obey
without murmur.
Such ideas have not before been adj
vanced in Western Europe since the
French Revolution. They are such as
filed the vain head of Charles l., and
brought him justly to the block. They are
such as brought Louis XVI. to the guillo-
tine. With Europe at his feet, Louis XIV,
when he said, "The state; it is l." was not
in his mind more absolute sovereign than
is this emperor of the house of Hohenzol-
lern who tells his soldiers that he owns
them body and soul.
That monarch holding such views can
successfully rule in Western Europe and
in this age is not to be believed. 1t is as
If another Charles I. should ascend the
throne of Britain, or Louis XII. should
rule over France. William is as thor
oughly at variance with the spirit and
tendencies of the age as If he had been
educated in the thirteenth century. If
he were not ap emperor he would be
clapped into q madhouse.
However great may be the ability of
William H., however sure he may be of
the loyalty of his subjects, he is doomed to
failure. 1t will be strange if he does not
close his life as prisoner or an exile. No
man, emperor though he be, can turn
back the course of history.

Ii was during the period that Mr.. Storeys
mental affection was beginning to manifest its
preliminary symptoms that Mr.. Clinton A.

the paper correspond to his ideal, and no doubt
succeeded, but the bills were enormous. His
extravaganza was Endorsed by Mr.. Storey, and Il
was with the greatest difficulty that Mr.. Pstter.
son, the business manager, succeeded In awaken
ing the editor TO the ruinous pace that was be-
ing maintained. Finally he agreed to take
measures TO check the extravaganza.
"The manner IN which he proceeded to check
extravaganza says Mr.. Wilkie, twas entirely
in harmony with his treacherous and unieeling
nature. He had been praising Snowden extray-
agantiy for his enterprise He wrote him the
most fattering letters from Green Lake, was
kind and cordial to him to the last minute, even
smiling as he drove his knife into his victims
heart.
"One morning he sent orders TO all the heads
OF departments to be at his room at q certain
hour. All had assembled except Snowden, and
messenger was sent to summon him. When
he came In he had the expression of one who
expects q cordial reception, and undoubtedly on

horns. You are failure. You are too extravs-

some can perhaps imagine the reaction in the
mind of the big blonde manager. One of those
who were present told me that Snowden's face
first grew pale, then flushed scarlet; he sank
down visibly a. If he had lost the strength of
his legs, and he had the appearance of one who

insert them here: FirSt-Sub-

notice to the contrary are con
sldered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions. S@cOnd-If sub

OF their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until
all the arrearages are paid.
Third-lf subscribers neglect or
refuse to take their periodicals
from the pOst-Othce to which they
are directed, they are responsible
until they have settled their bills
and ordered them discontinued
FOurth-If subscribers move to
other places without informing
the publisher, and the papers are
sent to the former address, they
are held responsible. Fifh-The
courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.

the going of Vermont's young

is highly gratifying; and as this
is but one of the many tokens of

all the more acceptable to MIR.

BE Entrrprising.

The location of a new business
in a place is a benefit to every
one there. fla citizen be one who
works for wages, the growth of
his town means Steadicr work,
with more chances for employ

business increases his most faith
full wOrkmen must be promoted
with higher pay. To the farmer
comes a better market for his
produce, and better price for
his farm when he wants to sell {;
to the capitalist, a chance for
home investment of the best
kinds; to the property owner,
a general increase in value; and,
most helped ofall, the storekeeper
receives additions to his trade,
and everybody has more money
with which to buy goods. What
we need is more of the active
push which we see in some of the
rushing towns of the West.
There every one makes the towns
growth his own special interest,
as it really is. When a public
subscription is on foot, all, from
ncWsboy to mayor, put down
something, even the Chinese
Washcrman writes off sums that
could hardly be wrung from an
eastern tradcSman. And so those
towns surge ahead, while eastern
towns, with better ADVANTAGES
