MEMORIAL
Continued from page ~

In this sad hour of tragedy n loss,
The words that link such awful acts
somehow
To Gods economy and to His plans
And overruling purposes.
We had the rather say, "A demon did
The deed-a fiend incarnate in the
form
OF act as far removed from
plan
OF God as lowest hell from highest
heaven
This, too, is true. We cannot under.
stand.
We face anew the ancient mystery.
More fiendish act was never done than
this,
Nor deed more worthy of a nations
wrath.
More wicked hands were laid
upon
The sovereign choice of people brave
and free.
And yet upon the other hand, God
rules.
And overrules even these fiendish acts
OF mar to work His sovereign will.
So may the last words of our presi.
lent
Enable us to say with him in faith:
1T is Gods way; His will be done"
But what a heavy loss has come to
this
Great land of ours! How steady was
his hand
Upon the helm of state; and with what
care
And wisdom did he guide the nation
through
The trying hours of war, and in the
way
OF peace, into the port Prosperity.
And what a mighty man he was! AS
AS steel, as strong as iron, as COLI
slant
AS the northern star to right and to
The cause of righteousness in state
Or individual life.
We place him in the ranks with Wash
ington
And Lincoln, confident he'll hold that
place
Secure i'll after years when the full
light
OF history shines upon his statesman
ship.
And to the homes of this fair land
what sweet,
True lessons has he taught, Of faith
fulness
And love, and fond devotion to a wife
Who in her ills has needed all hi.
strength
OF sympathy and watchful, loving care
But more. The nation mourns
Christian man
A man who in his daily life and worl
Did not forget relationship to God;
Nor cease to pray that ruling over mer
He might himself be ruled by God
and that
He might become a servant Of Gods
sons.
Who, like His Son, ruled best by serv
ing most.
God bless this nation as she weeps
And help her through her tears to say
In words that hence will be immortal

USELESS OFFICES.

Some over . year ago one W. E.
Cox, Of Sagusche, moved to Ala.
mosa and at the same tune changed
his politics. The reason assigned
by some OF bis friends for the
latter change was that Mr. Cox
could not stand out against the
prosperity that the country on.
joyed.
At the last meeting Of the
board OF county commissioners
held at Del Norte said Cox Was
allowed two bills, one for *94, and
the other for $9l. 9O-as referee of
water court. The other counties
in the 18th Judicial district were
probably favored with the same
bills. These bills appear reg.
ularly as often as the county board
meets. Such waves are what often
change mems politics.
Our political system should be
changed; there should be fewer
Offices fo- favored ones or al
Office for all who want them.
Socialism may some day become
popular ou account Of the increase
in government Offices it will pro
vide.

The debt OF New Zealand is the
greatest per capita OF any nation.
This was foisted on the people by
the same kind of jobbery as the
Credit Mobilier scandals Of few
years ago in this country. But

and ig much greater than the debt.
The people conld dispose of their
public property and be free Of all
debts and still have all the private
property free. With the develop
ment Of the country this public
property will become more and
more productive. The debts
should never have been made, for
the people there made all the i'm.

that would not have permitted the
English capitalists, who instituted
the system, any income to uphold
