Uncle Sam and Nicaragua.

The pacification of Cuba some
years ago by the United States
has evidently given cue to all
the small Republics in Central
and South America. Venezue-
lans, with their once irrepres-
sible Castro, we're the first to
profit by the lesson of Cuba and
they too worked it in a way to
get rid of their incubus. Now
comes Nicarauga with her mon
strous ruler, one Zelaya, who plays
the role of Nero and Expresses
and butchers his people for the
actual fun of the thing, besides
plundering them with the dexter
ity of train robber. For little
time past, tired of his odious-
ness, the Nicaraguans have been
up in arms against him and
threaten to make him abdicate.
A few days ago, in his frenzy for
blood. this savage Zelaya cap
tured two Americans for alleged
completely in the revolution and
had them tortured and shot with
out the formalities of a proper
trial, as required by the law of
war. The affair has been brought
before the State Department at
Washington and already war;
ships are either there or on the
way with sufficient armed force
to compel a compliance to any
demand.
The unwarranted execution of
these men is undoubtedly the
"straw which will break the
camel's back" Zelaya is now a
doomed despot and, whether
Uncle Sam takes a hand in the
revolution or not, there will be
enough Americans going over
there now to fight for the revolu-
tionists to make Zelaya look like
"thirty cents" in the next month
or two. By virtue of our Monroe
Doctrinej the United States OF
America ought to take strong
hand over there in Nicarauga
now and give those poor down.
trodden people a good, peaceful
and stable government. If, in the
name of common humanity, any
other great power essayed to do
it, we would raise a howl and
protest and perhaps prevent it by
armed force. Therefore, why not
take advantage of the time and
do it now and do it we'll. The
country has been on sort of re-
spectacle basis since the Spanish
war-our flag calls for a little
more respect than it once did
among nations. Uncle Sam must
keep this up to the last notch.
He can not stand for the slaughter
of any of his subjects without
proper reDaratiOn.

Keep Your Town Alive.

A town is very much like an in
dividual. To be flourishing, it
must have energy and enterprise.
The people in a town should re-
men Der that the individual pros
perity depends to a large extent
upon the character of the place in
which their business is located.
Every public measure should be
literally supported by all, es-
pecially the business men. At the
present day there is as much COM
petition between towns DIS there ia
among persons and business
enterprises. A man seeking q
location will invariably select a
town that lie up to the times, and
is eagerly in favor of every modern
improvement. A town in these
modern times can't afford to be
peopled with old fogies or antedi-
luvian fossils who are continually
kicking at every enterprise. To
make hourishing town you must
believe in it's future and work for
it, encouraging every improve
ments. Make special effort to
exhibit some evidence of improve
ment in your own work and char
acter. Help every worthy man,
help every enterprise, and encour-
age evety' good man to locate in
your town.

"What is a dollar, anyhow?'
The question is an easy one to
answer. A dollar is what some
men promise to pay for their
country paper. It is something q
newspaper man enjoys more in
anticipation than in reality. It is
the price of a days work for some
men and single nights drink for
others. 1t is what the wife fire.
quently needs, but seldom has.
It is the power that makes or un.
makes men. It is the hardest
thing to get and the easiest thing
to get rid of, known to mankind.
It is a blessing in a small measure
and q curse in many instances.
1t is mighty and scarce. No man
ever had more than he wanted
and no man ever will. A dollar
IL q snare and a delusion, and
every one of US are chasing the
delusion.

Ex-President Roosevelt made a
vain effort through consultation
with college presidents and foot
ball highbrows to ameliorate or
humanize the game. 1t was after
his effort that his son who has just
entered Harvard University had
his nose broken. In the last few
days four promising young men
have met their death through this
brutal game. College presidents
are preaching against it but such
lie the intensity Of the craze that it
is doubtful if the terrible recent
examples will be potent for more
than a temporary check of deadly
foot ball.

Leonard Lewisohn of New York. The
executions, which are the largest ever
issued by the state supreme court, are
the result OF the judgment recently
rendered against the two defendants in
favor of the Old Dominion Copper
Company.
The original suit grew out of alleged
secret profits obtained by Bigelow and
LewisOhn at the time of the organiza-
ton of the company.
The defendants have still the right of
an appeal to the United States Supreme
Court but can prevent the collection
of the execution only by giving.a bond
for like amount. This bond had not
been furnished when the court closed
today.
