Peace with-a But.

AT three important crises in its
history this nation has stood for
peace with-a but.
On July 4, 1916. the "represen
tatives OF the United States OF
America, in General Congress as
sembled," adopted the immortal
Declaration that they were for
peace-but "the United Colonies
are, and Of right ought to be, free
and independent States" And in
support OF this they solemnly
pledged their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor.
After seven years war they Sc
cured peace with honor and inde-
penden e.
In 1879 the United States noti-
fed Great Britain that this country
preferred peace but the freedom
OF our ships must be respected.
Alter a two years fight, marked
by glorious vic ories on sea and
lake, American ships were forever
free from search asd American
seamen secure from seizure.
In 1861 Lincoln told the seced
ing Southern States that he loved
peace-but the Union must be pre-
served.
The most terrible war OF the CEN
tury was fought to make good that
one condition OF peace and honor
and safety.
And so now, when our Govern
men, representing and responding
to the will Of the people, shall say
to Spain:
Let US have peace-but Cuba
must be freel-it will act in the
straight line of historic precedent
and in strict soharge Of its duty
to our flag and 10 freedom and
humanity.

sode, heightened by the antics of the
widows son. Isaac, at the dinnertsble
scene in Bascom's house. when told to
"act just like she gentlmanly Perry"
initiates his everV movement even to
kissing June. Much amusement is
also afforded in the final scene by old
Tutewiler's discovery that his daughter
Nell is a leading lady in a New York
theatre instt ad OF New York society's
leading lady, and that his son has be-
come negro minstrel in the city OF
New York instead Of minister OF the
gospel as he fondly supposed.

that our preparations for possible

"rhs Equivalent of Independe n oe. Z"

"rhe Equivalent of ndepende nee 4"
General Grosvenor says that
under the Wall Street plan Of
peace by purchase Cuba will get
"the equivalent OF independence"
But wha is the equivalent Of
independence" to a people who
have been oppressed and Perse-
cuted1 A people who have seen
ihsir women and old men and
helpless young children deliber-
ateIy starved to death by Spanish
orders? What would George
Washington, Nathaniel Green,
Mad Anthony Wayne, Ethan
Allen and Sumpter and Marion
have regarded as "the equivalent
OF independence" if anybody had
tried to dicker with them tor sur
render.
The Cubans can make no bar
gains with Spain. They have
learned bY bitter experience that
Spain does not and will not and
cannot keep faith. They laid
down their arms and ended the ten
years war upon SPANS solemn
pledge Of the equivalent OF inde-
pendence." They found that they
had been dealing with an enemy
as iaithless as it had been cruel.
They promised home rule and
representation in the CoTtes at
Madrid The home rule proved to
be the arbitrary rule oi Spanish
merchants and their clerks, under
.nerciless military tyrants. The
representation in the Cortes was
o hedgsd about with limitations
pom eligibility and suffrage that
Cuban could be elected, and al
most no Cuban could vote even TO
choose between the antagonistic

UngrRteful.

Some Iowa papers, which lately
worked for the gold, or rather
Kepu blican, prohibition party,
have been attacking Governor
Boies.
The New York Ponce, the ua-
tional prohibition organ, corrects
them. 1t says;
The opinions expressed are not wor-
thy OF any extended notice. They are
largely the same old falsehoods about
tn failure OF prohibition with which the
public is already familiar and the talsity
Of which every fair minded student oi
facts knows. But, as published, these
statements are prefaced by the assertion
that Ex-Governor Boies has been a
leading pFohibitonist OF Iowa and was
twice elected Governor by the prohibI'
tion1sts Such a statement is totally
false. Prohibition in Iowa never had a
worse or meaner enemy than Horace
Boies. His detectio from the Repub-
lican party was largely b. cause of the
leaning OF the rank and file OF that party
in Iowa toward prohibition, and II was
Horace Boies who, when Democratic
Go ernor Of the commonwealth of Iowa,
sworn to enforce its laws, adopted the
anarchistic policy OF pardoning every
criminal convicted of vic lation OF the
prohibitory law.

THEATRICAL.

Farce comedy writers have hit upon
many novel subjects for their caricatures,
but II remained for the author of THE
StaE Gazer" to soar above all others,
and take no less inspiring theme than
the heavens for his satire. II deals with
the hobby Of the man with the telescope,
and the love smitten maiden both star
gazers-One searching the heavens in
the interest Of science, the other ear
nestly searching for response to the
tender sentiments within her soul. The
plot is very simple, the dialogue is said
to be witty. the situations funny. and
advantage is taken of the abundant
opportunities in each act for the intro
ducton Of specialties. The particular
star is Mr.. Toe Ott who is not unknown
to local theatre goer', as he has ap'
peared IN stellar roles in some OF the
comedy successes. In his support are

An Echo or the vireInIus Atrocity.


The word Virginius suggests one
OF the greatest national outrages
ever allowed to 90 unavenged. 1t
also suggests a sequel OF dishonor
which had two parts, both Of which
have especial interest at the pres
ent time.
The Virginius outrage was bad
enough in itself, but was allowed
to darken the pages of American
diplomatic history with an exhibi-
tion OF supineness rarely equaled.
For the most part our State De-
partment, from the Secretaryship
Of Thomas Jefferson down, has had
at the head Of it statesmen COM
bining dauntless courage with ad-
mirable tact. But the Vlrginius
affair was a national disgrace, and
in the light Of current events,
striking instance of a blunder
worse than a crime.
1t was the last day of October,
1873, that two reDel privateers,
built in the same British shipyard,
met in the caribbean Sea. One. the
Virginius, flew the flag OF the
United States, the other. the Tor
nado, sailed under the flag of Spain.
The Tornado attacked the Vir-
ginus and captured her. The ex-
animation showed that the registry
OF the Virginus was under the
United States; in other words, that
she hael a right to uniurl at her
masthead the Stars and Stripes.
Release and apology should have
followed. Instead of that the Tor
nado took her prize into the near
est Spanish harbor, Santiago de
Cuba, the next day, under charge
of privateering in the interest oi
the Cuban rebels. A mock court
was convened, the American con.
sui at the port being imprisoned
in the consulate, and the condem-
nation and execution Of captain
passengers and crew began. The
work OF death was in sections.
The first batch consisted Of four
passengers. They were shot Nov.
4. Three days later twelve more
passengers were murdered in the
same way. The next day Captain
Fry, an American citizen, and
thntY-six of the crew were execu-
ted, making ity-three in all, many
of them. besides the commander,
being citizens of the United States.
Not man would have escaped, but
at that time a British man OF war
came along and put stop to The
murderous proceedings.
The horror itself furnished an
opportunity to free Cuba in vindi-
cation OF our national honor That
opportunity was frittered away.
From that time to this Spain has
felt contempt ior the United
States, believing that it's flag can
be insulted and its citizens killed

Last Of Local Option in Ohio.

feature of government. The Anti

Now that the people have had full and

she has committed bigamy, he leaves
her and marries June. but foolIshly con-

Sue becomes insanely jealous and in
seeking revenge finds a usefnl ally in
Ben Boone, who is now Bascom's engi-
