Without moving, Lee may soon find
himself the resident of an American city
1t is all ee. Sigsbee was the first to get
| into trouble and now Spain wants Lee
recalled.
While the women can not fight on the
field of battle the D. A. R., like the G. A.
r., are for WAR
Spain did ask Lees recall and Mckinley
telegraphed: Nit" or words to that effect
which cost a good deal to cable.
Is Spain really playing for a war, with
the hope Of preventing revolution at
| home? Sometimes it looks like it.
1t looks a great deal more like war this
morning than it did the morning after the
Maine went up. Spain will have to be
smashed.
Brazil has sold two of her war-ships to
Spain. The Monroe Doctrine is too much
like a telephone with a transmitter at
only one end.
Consul General Lee will remain right in
Havana. If Spain doesn't like his ap-
pearance, she can do the classic alterna-
tive and lump it.
Everything indicates war and that soon.
The best indication of it is that the Amer
lean nation has shut its mouth. 1t is
not yelling, but thinking.
Good enough If war comes. Perhaps II
will strain out from our national charac-
ter a little of the surplus pretence and
starched hypocrisy, which is our besetting
sin.
Florida is now on the point Of turning
against the National government. But if
is thought that with care the government
may be able to handle both Spain and
Florida.
An Indiana minister wants to lead q
regiment to Cuba and make the prevail
ing language in hell Spanish" This mans
name is Rev. a. X. Glover, Crawfords-
Vile, Indiana. He must be insane and
justly so.
An undertaken in Pittsburg refuses to
give up Ferris ashes unless the funeral
expenses are paid. Ferris is the man who
built the big wheel at the Worlds Fair
and sent a good many people nearer
heaven than they will ever get again.
Sigsbee will yet be a hero. He is some
thing Of an egg expert like Columbus. It
was Sigsbee who discovered that the
shortest route from America to China
tor-a discovery which surprised all our
naval men.
Spain is buying warships because she
expects war and a war with this coun-
try. She is poor and can not afford to
make such large expenditures without
having definite knowledge about what
that board will report. That is the way
it looks, through a Kansas spring haze.
How the heart throbs TO the mighty
pulse of war! How tense the Joy, how
keen the inspiration OF clashing sword and
clanNing buckler! And think too how
the local poet in your obituary Will speak
OF bones that bleach and Written at the
kiss Of tropic suns" Think of it. Your
bones.
Excessive sensatiOnaliSm is making the
American people the most conservative on
earth A big scare head in q newspaper
thirty years ago would have made q man
plunge out Of his skin. Today it doesn't
interrupt his morning cup Of coffee. You
cant excite him. The New York Herald
