1t is high time the American public got
over its delusiOns about this war. 1t has
deceived itself too long with the notion
that it was fighting merely an ambitious
rebel chief, representing only fraction
of a single tribe, and maintaining his
power as much by the terror he inspires
as by any sense of patriotism. We are
not fighting a government or an army,
but whole people. But if we
are going to conquer the people we shall
have to initiate the course of Great
Britain IN South Africa. Where an
armed body of rebels appears we must
burn the village that gave it shelter and
destroy the crops on which it fed. We
must Concentrate non-combatants in
small garrlsoned districts, as the Spanish
did. We must send all prisoners 10 dis.
tant exile. We must execute promptly
any who are detected in breaking their
Oaths of allegiance. We must make our
soldiers terror to the whole population.
because people can be ruled by force
only after they have been taught to fear.
The work of tyranny can be done only
by the methods of tyranny,

Liz ely Lamps For
Christmas

The soft, ellulgent glow of a good
lamp is very pleasing. The man in
his study, or his sitting room,
would greatly appreciate lamp
present. And every woman YOU
know is sure to find plenty of use
for one more lamp. Can we hint
more broadly at what YOU should
fill that stocking with ? Our lamp
stock is a decidedly handsome one.
The beautiful color-blending in the
china bowls. and the china and the
crepe lamp shades, might be termed
truly artistic. The lamp makers
art is surely nearing perfection.
Prices begin at 25c. The lamp at d
quarter is good honest lamp. They
end at 5000. This price obtains
lamp that is positively delightful.
In between the two extremes come
lamps at 80, 90, 81, LOO, 1.25,
2.25, $50, and up. All are marked
what they're worth, and worth
what they're marked
