Whereas. we realize the necessity of a

best systems of cultivation and crop

Whereas, we recognize the growing

Of fundamental Importance in the build

LABoRING CLASS DEsPoTs.
Asserts Are Trying to Drag Country
Into War With Japan for Their
Own Selfish Interests.

Chicago. Jan. 25.--"The upper classes
are absolutely the superiors of the peo-
pie they have surpassed, and one is dis
posed to say that God made the rea-
son."
This was but one of many startling
statements made by Barrett Wendell,
professor of English at Harvard uni-
versity, TO the members of the Tween
tieth Century club, last night, in lee
ture on The Privileged Glasses"
The professor declared that the ty-
rant privileged classes" of this coun-
try are not the upper classes. as they
were under the "old regime" but the
despotic laboring classes.
"As wealth and fashion have grown
during the last 80 years in this coun-
try he said, there has grown also a
feeling OF resentment and criticism
which has found its expression in the
utterances of public men in the public
prints, and. above all, in the comic pa
pers and the street cars.
1.-THE cry which once reused this
country was Taxation with represen-
tation,' The privileged laboring class
of today demands representation with.
out taxation.

THE difference between the upper

classes are those who have exhibited
the highest degree OF ability worth

the upper classes are the cream OF So
oety. Those who by reason OF sloth
degensraoy, Drunkenness. or lncompe-
tenee do not deserve TO maintain them
selves In the unprlyileged upper classes
sink to the privileged lower classes
where they belong"

WATERLOO.
Tho immutabiiity Of the Famous o.,
Battlefield.

Tho immutabiilty Of the Famous OLD
Battlefield.
One of the most striking features OF
visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the immuta bility of the entire
scene in which one Of the greatest bat
ties Of history took place. Notwith-
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable. day of
June is, 1915, the entire scene Of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the fiercest, save for the necessary res.
torations Of the damage they sustain
ed in the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
of building or progress marred the his
toric field.
The battlefield Of Waterloo Is an
open. undulating stretch Of good farm
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part of it was covered with
crops Of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field is inter
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont st. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left which lay In the center of both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char
leroi and Namur. Upon the crest of
the ridge which formed the first Of the
allied positions a crossroad runs east
and west. This road, on approaching
the spot where the Lion Of Waterloo
now stands, ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and it was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 500 yards to the south
east of the Lion is the farm of La
Haye Sainte, while about 900 yards
to the southwest stands Hougoumont,
the old chateau, farmhouse, outbuild-
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part in the
fate of the day. These buildings are
nearly 300 years old and were built
with a view to their defense, as many
old stone loopholes still to be found
testify. - Robert Howard Russell In
Metropolitan Magazine.

PROH|S OPEN THEIR
NATIONAL CAMP A|CN
Eugene Chain Speaks of the
Work Outlined for His
Party.
A POLITICAL QUESTION.
SPEAKER BELIEVES PEOPLE BE-
LIEvING IN ADJUSTMENT OF
SALOONS SHOULD VOTE FOR
PROHIBITION CANDIDATES.

Chicago, July 22.-The prohibition
national campaign was formally open
ed tonight by addresses delivered by
prominent leaders of that party at a
large mass meeting held in Evanston,
Ill. The principal speech was made
by Eugene w. Chain, the president
ial nominee. Other speakers were
Charles r. Jones, chairman of the pro-
hibition national committee; A. G..
Wolfenbarger, national vice chairman,
and others. Mr.. Chain said among
other things:
The prohibition party ran its first
candidate for president in 1872, when
a majority of the voters in but one
state-Maine-favored the principles of
prohibition. Today there is hardly a
state in the union in which a majority
of the voters do not believe in prin-
ciples of the entire prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of liquor.
The principle work of the campaign
must be to educate the voters to the
giving Of their votes to political par
ty pledged to carry out this reform
The question of prohibition is dis
tinctly political, and in order to carry
out that policy and to enforce the law
the efforts of all officers are required.
These officers are elected through po-
litical parties, and prohibition there
fore becomes emphatically political
party question.
Many temperance people urge that
we should keep this matter out of pol
tttcs. These same people are voting
the republican and democratic tickets
with a personal liberty plank in the
platform, by which directly or by af-
firmation declaration is made in
favor Of the saloon. Their idea seems
to be that il a political party declares
in favor of the liquor traffic that
makes 1t nonpartisan, but If political
party declares against the liquor traf-
fic that means taking it into politics.
