In our youthful days we were taught
to look throug nature up to Nature S
God with grateful hearts for the sun
shine and the showers, the balmy
breeZes, the invigorating healthful
atmosphere Of the earth, the bounti-
fui crops that with mans labor it put
forth for his sustenance, for the do
mestic animals over which he was
given dominion, for a beautiful arch
of blue that overhung the universe,
for the sweet waters everywhere
obtainable for mans use, health and
comfort the blessings of society that
sprang from the social nature of the
human family. Since looking over the
last issue of the CleSco Times we infer
that all these blessings come fIom re-
publican rule in this country, unless
the Times errs. If it is correct in its
reasoning, the wonder is how God
managed matters while waiting thous,
andS of years for the birth of the
republican party. GODS word con
demns the usurer. The much vauntec
republican party has put squelchel
on Gods criticism of that class in pro
viding that for an outlay OF $l2-
might be taken an annual interest OF
1910. That is what the recent cur
rency bill gives TO the national banker
On a deposit Of $3.50, $3.50 is paid, and
ona deposit of $500, the sum of s,sl5o(
in interest is paid the banker. These
are features that the republican party
has given the country, the cost O
which is a tax upon the industry O
the people, but to which the Times
does not allude.

MODERN MEANING OF GUN.
The Word Is More often Applied to
the Great Engines
of Death.

"The evolution of the word gun
forms an interesting study in up-to-
date etymology," remarked one of a
party of newspaper men, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. "a dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean a fowling piece-a shotgun as dis
tinguished from rifle or a musket.
Heavy and light ordnance, in fact all
pieces of artillery, without regard to
size, were known as cannon. That, of
course, was where people made an eff
fort to speak English. Out in the
frontier the word gun was applied ex-
clusiyely to pistols.
Nowadays the nomenclature has
curiously changed. BY degrees the
good old word gun has become monop-
olized by the long, slim, murderous ma
chimes that constitute our modern ar
tillery. We speak of quick-fire guns,
eight-inch, ten-inch, twelve-inch guns,
and the word seems singularly apropos.
They are not cannon. Cannon i1nme-
diately suggests the big, numbering,
black-throated, smooth-bores of the
past. The word eonjures up all sorts of
curious antique pictures - swabbers
naked to the waist, motionless men
holding lighted matches, frigates
lashed together and firing into each
others ports, Sepoys bound to the
muzzle, neat geometric pyramids Of
round shot in neat geometric forts, the
charge of the Light Brigade, and lots of
other things toe numerous 10 men
