THE WAR BOND SCHEME.

The proposal of popular loan" Of
s500.000,000 of coin bonds should be
discussed by reformers until the peo-
pie so thoroughly understand the ques-
tion that no scheming politician will
ever again dare to suggest such thing.
In defense of the nations honor the
people are asked to give their lives,
and freely respond Without MUIR
muir they pay war taxes on the neces-
saries Of life. But the wealth -hoarders
Of the country intrenched behind a
money-controlled supreme court, refuse
to allow their incomes to be taxed one
cent.
And worse. Wall street gives notice
that, while blood is free, the money
necessary to wage war can only be OBJ
tanned by bonding ourselves and our
children and grandchildren to repay,
in the form Of interest upon bonds,
many dollars for every dollar now dol
ed out by the organized misers of the
nation.
Thomas Jefferson was opposed to
war bonds as well as bonds issued in
time of peace. He called attention TO
the fact that Virginia paid her revolu.
tionary war bills with paper currency,
and that this currency, being full legal
tender for all dues public and private
never deprecated.
The war greenback, even with pro.
vision for its redemption in coin dur.
ing a term of years, will relieve the
people of the unending burden of inter
est payments on bonds under which
all Of the nations of the earth are now
groanfng. An enlightened public senti-
ment will certainly cause the wal
greenback to supersede the war bond

POINTS FROM THE PRESS.

Constitutfonalism is the weapon OF
the corporation, the monopoly, the in
dustrial conspiracy and the syndicate.
1t has no place for the will of the peo-
pie. It's guiding principle is distrust OF
the people. e.--Twentieth Century.
Secretary Bliss has decided that the
Chicago lake front land, worth many
millions OF dollars, does not belong to
the United States, which, We presume,
means that it does belong to the llli-
nols Central Railroad. That Is what

1t is not the gold-bug, nor the silver

try, but the humbug. In the South
Seas those who feed upon other people

Get your neighbor to read. He has
hopes and feelings akin to yours. No
amount OF suffering will teach him
way out. That has to be thought out.
He must read the thought, must think
over it, must understand 1t. If he new
er reads he will not know. II he
knows not he will not know what to
read to understand. You, II you have
the truth, must do that for him. Fur
nish him with papers and books. Talk
over the situation with him. Don't
quarrel with him. That will prevent
him from thinking. Ask his opinion as
to what ought to be dope, Find how
his mind is turning and then you will
know what to ask him to read.-Ap-

REAL MTDWTNTER PICNIC
Held in Chicago Hall With Theatri-
cal Scenery to Represent Woods
and Rural Views.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-The winter picnic
is the latest charity entertainment A
picnic in the winter is original with the
philanthropic people on the South
side.
The plan is to hire a hall and arrange
theatrical scenery, full of woods and
bowers, around the walls, with flags
advertisements of the local merchants
painted on the rails in regular country
fashion. A few groups of Christmas
evergreens heighten the rural effect.
Chinese lanterns are strung in every di-
rectiOn overhead in the moonlight pic
mic style, and when lighted by electric
bulbs present a brilliant appearance A
gypsy's tent in one little nook is the
center of interest. The popcorn and
peanut stand. red lemonade and pop are
as popular as usual on such occasions.
The cane contest and throwing of balls
at heads thrust through the center of a
big canvas add to the fun. OF course
the advertisements bring in a large
share of the income, as do the refresh
ment stands, while the admission fee
pays for the orchestra. The cloths for
supper are laid on the floor in regular
picnic way and the whole affair is
equally informaLPerhaps the most fun
is in climbing a fiVe-ran fence at the
entrance It takes a large bribe to
have the bars let down, and so every
one climbs with more or less grace
The summer girl in full picnic array
enters into the fun with all her usual
zest and is well seconded by the tennis
and bicycle boys. White duck and or
candle are on every side. The standard
swing and lettering board develop the
greatest hilarity among the youngest,
while the more staid patrons are enter
tanned with cards in the side parlors.

AS BOSTON SEES US.
A Boston Banker Gives a Favorable
View of Kansas.

Kansas City, Feb. pa Boston bank
er, who returned last month from a trip
through the west, gives the following
encouraging report of the condition of
Kansas in the Boston News Bureau:
Prosperity is just as noticeable in
the west now as it was three or four
months ago. I do not believe the peo-
pie of Kansas will ever get back to the
poor condition they were in previous to
this year, for they are now diversifying
their industries and doing business on a
more economical basis.
"a few years ago the Kansas farmer
paid no attention to chickens, eggs, but
ter and dairy products. Now a large
number of the farmers earn sufficient
from these sources to support them, and
crops are practically all profit.
Il never knew Kansas City to be as
prosperous as it is today. The city is
now on a substantial basis. There is
not a house to rent. Reserves in the
Kansas City banks run from so to 60
per cent. Money loans there at per
cent. A st. Louis banker told me while
1 was in that city that he had just loan
ed S4O0, 900 at 4 per cent. This is unus-
ual in that part of the country
Prospects are excellent for a bigger
wheat crop than last year. The condi-
ton of the growing wheat is as good as
it has ever been at this season of the
year Wheat acreage is the largest in
the history of the state and the general
snow storms over Kansas are of great
value to the new CROP"

MELBA'S APPEARANCE.
Maurice Grau May Not Secure the

New York, Feb. 25.-After conferences
held almost every day at the AIetropOl-
itan Opera House last week between
Maurice Grau and Charles Ellis re-
garding the engagement of Nine. Afelba
for her appearance in this city next
season, a settlement is no nearer than
it was before Mr.. Graus arrival from
Europe. The engagement of Nine. Nor
dica he accomplished, but there appear
to be grave doubts that Mime. Media
will sing with the Maurice Grau Opera
company next year, Notwithstanding
she has signed a contract to sing at
Covent Garden. 1t is said Mr.. Ellis
wants Nine. CalVe to appear in Phil
adeIphia and Mr.. Grau is lOath to con-
sent to it.
There are thousands of people in the
city to whom Maude Adams name is
familiar, few of whom may know that
her mother is still on the stage and is
at the present time playing part in
New York. Odd facts about Maude
Adams and her mother are that both
are playing Scotch roles in successful
plays, both speak the same dialect on
the stage, and they would look as
much alike as two pins if similarly at
tired for the same role
There is a little Scotch woman in
1.-The White Heather" whose brief part
is enacted when a great scene is about
to reach it's climax. The spectator I'M
consciously finds himself comparing her
methods with those Of charming little
Miss Adams. Upon the completion OF
the act the spectator refers to the pro
gramme and finds that the little wom-
ans name is Mrs. Annie Adams She
is the mother of Maude Adams.

Terrific Storm Sweeps Over
Honolulu.

Honolulu, Feb. Is, via San Francisco,
Feb. Bone of the most severe storms
ever experienced in Honolulu took place
on the morning of the 18th. The wind
developed into a hurricane and the rain
came down in torrents. The thunder was
terrific and lightning flashes followed in
quick succession.
The storm reached its height about 4
O'Clock, when the velocity of the wind
must have exceeded 50 miles hour.
Houses We're rocked, sheds blown down,
trees uprOOted and other damage done,
but all sounds were drowned by the crash
of the thunder.
The greatest damage reported was the
loss of the switchboard in the telephone
station. The fire is said to have been
caused by a bolt of lightning.
Cool heads and hard work alone saved
a number of vessels in port. The ship

the same appearance. The gray of the
park police will be discarded for blue
and it is intended that some day the pa

MAY ENTER THE MINISTRY.
Supt. stryker Would Rather Be 1
Preacher Than in Politics.

superintendent of instruction VIM
Stryker is thinking seriously of enter
ing the ministry. 1t is possible that in
stead of again engaging in college work
after giving up the office of superin-
tendent of public instruction, he may
take up the study of theology and fit
himself for the calling of a minister.
My family wanted me to be a
Preacher when I was young, but new
er fully made up my mind that the min
istry was my calling" said Mr.. Stryker
today. However, I have always had
inclinations that way, and I may make
up my mind that it is not too late to go
into church work yet. I think that
ministers have the greatest field in the
world for accomplishing good if they go
about it the right way, and the endeav-
or to benefit mankind would be my on
ly object in going into the ministry
Now, if I was a minister" continued
Mr.. Stryker, L would pay attention to
economic conditions as well as religion
in my teachings Christ was a socialist
the greatest socialist that the world
has ever known-and I would make an
earnest effort to follow in his foot

LION IN A SHOW WINDOW
Does as Much Damage as a Bull in a
China Shop.

St. Louis, Feb. 23-The big. lion used
by Henry E. Dixey in his illusions at the
Fourteenth Street Theater was placed on
exhibition in the show window of Nicols
tailoring establishments on Olive street
yesterday and it promptly ruined between
$50 and SIS worth of patterns which had
not been removed from its reach.
The cloth was displayed in a corner of
the window occupied by the Gagged lion.
A large crowd gathered on the sidewalk
all the morning and the beast probably
found being stared at a monotonOus way
OF passing the time. He stretched forth
one of his powerful paws and yanked two
bolts of cloth into his cage and when
someone from the crowd rushed into tho
store and excitedly reported the matter
the lion was discovered on his back, paw
ing, gnawing and ripping the cloth much
as a kitten has fun with a piece of string.
There was a small panic in the tailor
shop for a few minutes The lion re-
sisted all attempts to take it's plaything
away, and in desperation telephone
message was sent to the Fourteenth
Street theater for relief. One of the keep
ers responded and beguiled the lion to
another part of the cage by offering him
several pounds of fresh meat. While the
beast was making a quick meal the cloth
was jerked out of the cage 1t was in
shredS and can be used only to patch
certain garments in certain places.
