Another Story

'Well, Miss Clara" remarked the young
man, 'it's the old, old story
why, Mr.. Hankinson," replied Miss
Clara, this is-so sudden!''

What Big Americans Would Do

Were an Andrew jackson or Abraham
Lincoln president, he would roughly sweep
away all the inconsequential features
which envelop the relations between this
country and Spain. Having laid bare the
concrete propositions to be considered, he
would forthwith decide the duty OF this
country. Were it plain that war was neces-
sary. he would not hesitate to recommend
a declaration. A man of iron ought now
be president.-Kansas City Star.

The Maine Count Remains

The Maine disaster is the main count In
our indictment against Spain. 1t is our
supreme justification for driving Spain
from Cuba. 1t is the high and conclusive
reason upon which the nations expect us to
act, and they will justly lose respect for
us, as we will lose respect for ourselves, If
we do not act.-New York World.

The Germans in Fatherland are bring

Kreuz Zeltung, organ Of the German
military element, fears the war will drag

The only alternative, in the view of the

it's fleets and crush the naval power Of
Spain at one blow.

Cause for Municipal Ownership

The people are tired of being robbed to
pay dividends on watered stocks, tired of
seeing councils and legislatures debauched,
tired of seeing public officials in the control
of paid attorneys of corporations, and tired
of being made the playthings of greed and
avarice- If the rising tide IN FAVOR OF
municipal ownership is to be stopped, the
corporations must do 1t by dealing more
fairly with the people.-Omaha World
