RrInoina illustration Home.

I cannot better define patriotism than in bringing the illustration home to every citizen. You have the opportunity during the coming autumn of beneftting iyyour country by your individual acts, or marring it's prosperity by indifference to, or disregard of its true interests It is the men who exercise the power of oitizen- shin that are responsible for honesty and efficiency in our public affairs. The first requisite to good government IS universal intelligence and patriotic, earnest devo- ton to the welfare of our country. This republic must continue in it's march of progress, or it must lapse into decay by the acts or apathy of it's own citizens. There is a sacred duty devolVlng upon every citizen. You men have just as good or just as bad a government as you. will, be it municipal, state or natoinal, and our only hope rests in the true patriotic devotion to the principles of out gov ernment.
 The opportunity and responsibility of the democratic citizens of Michigan and of the whole union are now greater and more important than they have been at any former period of our history. There are many vexcd questions and problems in which there may be difference of opin- ion. but there is one transcendent prin- ciple for above all other questions whether of economics or individuals, and that is whether the spirit of the declar- ation of independence and our constitu- tion, in brief a pure democracy, shall prevail or perish. The change from op- pression to liberty is wrought by vio- lence, but the change from democracy to despotism is quiet, ipsidious. subtitle and false.
 May the patriotism of our countrymen be awakened of the highest order, and may the influence of it be felt in every section and department of the welfare, happiness and progress of our own people throughout all the land. Very truly yours,
 NELSON A. MILES.

NohIest Act of PatriotIsm.

NobIest Act of Patriotism.
 Yet the noblest act of patriotism of that great man was when he set the example for all time in declining continuedauthor ty. The imperial powers that were with in his grasph did not allure him from the path of duty. Having rendered his eoun- try an incomparable service like Cincin- natus. he was proud to take his place amid the citizens of his country as one of them. a title and position that he re- garded the highest among mortals.
 We have come to look upon liberty as one of the natural clements of our exist ence. We give it as little concern as if our ancestors were never compelled to fight or die for it. or as if there could be no possibility of ourselves or our chil- dren being deprived of It's blessing So little do we feel the burdens of govern ment and so beneficient are our political advantage that we little comprehend the necessity for great sacrifices and heroic acts. We scarcely realize that hardly more than a century ago the great. mass of the human family were serfs slaves .or abiect subjects of some despotie power.
 Naught but universal intelligence, integ- rity and patriotism will continue to main- tain those institutions vouehsated to us bv the fathers. Take warning betimes' guard with sacred care that which was priceless to our fathers, and Is so to us and to our children.

 ABOUT PATRIOTISM Action of Citizens This Year
 Will Bless or EmbarrasS WASHINGTON SET EXAMPLE Liberty Is Wrought By Violence, But Change From Democracy to Des-
 potism Is Quiet, lnsidious, Subtle and False.
WASHINGTON SET EXAMPLE

Washington, March 2S.-Lieut. Gen. Nelson "A. Miles, retired formerly com mander-in-chief of the United States army, sent letter of regret to the Dem ocratic club of Grand Rapids, Mich, which was to have given a banquet at Grand Rapids this evening. Owing to the floods In that region, the banquet was aban- doned General Miles authorized the pub | lication of the letter which is as follows: Mir Peter Dorn, President of the Demo
 cratic Club Grand Rapids, Mich
 My Dear Sir-I regrets exceedingly that owing to a very serious illness in my l family, I find it impossible to be with you on the important. occasion which | brings the members of your club and distinguished democrats from different parts of the country together. also re- gret that 1t is impossible for me to meet my gallant comrades in the state of Michigan.
 Having been invited to speak on the subject of patriotism, should reply, were I there, that patriotism comes nearest the heart of every true citizen of our repub- l lie, It is especially fitting to give it serious consideration at this time when we are menaced by serious evils-when we are approaching an important crisis | in our political history, and the veal or woe of this republic will depend upon the intelligence and patriotism of the sov- ereign voters
 May Bless or Embarrass.
 Their action during the important event of the coming autumn will bless or seri- ously embarrass the future of this coun- try In fact the perpetuity of our dem ocratic government depends not upon the presence of great armies, the will of a despot or the dictation of any ruler, but entirely upon the patriotism of our clti zens.
 Patriotism canont reign within selfish heart or depraved soul. It is as pure as the light of day, and cannot be domlnat- ed by evil motives. The patriot can be inspired only by the noblest impulses that aetuate the spirit of. man. He cannot be engaged in an unholy cause. The leaders or participants in acts that only result in conquest, devastation, pillage and spolia- ton are not patriots. Alas too often un- der the pretense of patriotism men have engaged in ruthless and cruel enterprises, deserving condemnation rather than com mendation
 Washington desired to, keep his nation from running the course that had rhith- erto marked the destiny of nations and 1t was his prayer that the Tree constftu- tion might be safely maintained and It's administration conducted with wisdom and virtue;' that the happiness of the people under the auspices of liberty be

Both Boilers Are Useless.

Some time ago one of the boilers at
the city pumping plant gave out and
the council ordered a new boiler fr ON
Kansas City. 1t was to be built to
order and could not be delivered
under three weeks. The Ol0 one was
taken out and every thing made ready
for the new one. In the mean time the
responsibility of furnishing the city
with supply of water fell the remain
ing boiler which was also considered
q weak sister hut it was confidently
expected that it would last for some
time. Yesterday morning it was
discovered that the last boiler had
failed during the night and was in
such condition that it was impossible
to fix it. The water was immedi atel Y
turned off in the city to save what was
in the stand pipe for fire protection.
1t was decided by the members of the
council to send r. w. Bidwell To
Kansas City last evening to hurry up
the new boiler and if possible trade
the two old ones on another new one.
In the meantime E. e. Bt OK 's engine

Club Notes.

Mrs. Strong gave fine paper on
"Parisian Art" at Mrs. Hobbs We'd
nesday afternoon. The club learned
that Parisiaus are not all French.
which is also true of Partisan artists
A large proportion are of foreign
birth who contribute to the common
fund of aesthetic aspiration and en-
deavor, each maint aiming the pecul-
.iarities of his race. Thus Partisan
art is not the outcome of the French
mind nor the fruitage OF any French
school of fashion.
The club voted to put the money
earned by the arts and crafts exhibit
out at interest for the present.
Mrs. Sellers, Mrs. Tubbs and Mrs.
Higgins were appointed a program
committee for the coming year. The
next meeting will be at Mrs w. D.
Erwin's.
