Told Them They Might Search Him.


Lacking nothing in bravery, they re-
luctantly faced a crisis rather than
brook humiliating domination. Their
answer therefore was bellicose.
Germany at once began an ominous
assembling of her fleets in strategic |
waters from which on a moments no
tice they might sail forth. France
stood automatically aloof, hoping per-
hans that when the world had wearied
of fighting she might be in position
to gain by plunging into the fray.
Alsace Lorraine was still mourned,
and her monument in the Place de la
Concorde draped.
Then, at the very moment when 1t
seemed that England would be COM
pelled to beat back an invading army
from her shores there came an unex-
pected lull. The British press had
been predicting a declaration OF war
within "a hours, when the change took
place. AT the first days delay the
we'll informed wondered, and when
two days had passed, and finally three,
it became certain that some very I'M
usual event had taken place In Ber-
lin.
Rumors began to creep to London,
| to Paris. and soon the whole world
knew. despite Germany's attempts to
keep the matter secret, that on the
very eve of a crisis the kaiser, the
most dominant figure in Europe, had
disappeared. Nor was that all.
AS if to emphasize the fact that 1t
could have been through no mental
alteration that he had gone, the chan
cellor of Germany had disappeared al
the same time. That something mex
plicable had taken place was known
within a few hours after the kaiser
and chancellor were last seen. Or
the night of their disappearance they
had been closeted together with the

Britain. The HohenZollerns, line vi
warriors, still held the ancient throne,
and the kaiser was ambitious for his
country's advancement. An astute
ruler of exceptional capacity, he al
ready had advanced Germany's nag
of trade beyond all seas, and by this
means alone practically dominated all
of South America. In all earlier days
of this trade conquest the United
States had been busted in her home
enterprises saying to herself that
when she chose she could find way
to take the traffic of the southern con-
tinent with ease. With her eyes sWad-
died in silly egotism, she had waited
till too late, and then, when her band
ages were removed, suddenly learned
that commercial brains were not con-
fined to America alone. The sleeping
giant had lost commercial supremacy
in a continent which was hers by right
of location and needs, to race OF In
dustrious workers across the sea.
Nor had Germany neglected her
fight for trade at home. There. too,
she found cyclists, so swollen with
self-sufficiency that by disastrous
tariff methods they had been bested.
England, failing to protect her pro-
ducers had driven her own farmers and
carriers from the field, until, as one dis
gruntled farmer said: "You can't pick
! I'D a cabbage in a stall which don't
bear the words made In Germany; p"
and IL new crown was needed for the
:. king, Germany would have stood fair
chance of booking the order. In a
natural revulsion which had reached
fever heat before the Japanese-Ameri.
!, can war broke out, England was try
, ing to obstruct this encroachment
, The feeling thus engendered between
, the two nations eliminated In one OF
7 envy on the part of Great Britain and
one of hatred on the part OF Germany
The kaiser, calmly reviewing times
, and conditions, decided that the time
had come to strike.

Another car has been added 10 the
exhibit gotten up by Major J. W.
Tench which will do much toward
procuring prizes at the coming State

gotten up at the University and re-
fleets great credit upon those who
participated in its preparation.
While. Of course. the agricultural

extent. the products Of the boys con-
stitute a most important part Of the

smith department and shows the
product from the steel bar TO its fin
ish. and something over one hundred
articles have been manufactured to
show just what can be done.
The exhibit from the shop consists
of chisels, square, round, diamond
pointed and scoop. all being made
from diamond point bar steel: steel
boiler tube welding. hammers galore
bits, crow bars. nail bars, drawing
knives, mOulders' tools, screw drivers.
chains, sockets. anchors, and i'm fact
a general makeup from a blacksmith
shop where they know how TO do
these things, and the fact that they
were all hand-forged from cOld-rolled
steel is further evidence of the ell

Very few of the articles have been
finished with the emery wheel. but

ment of committee Of lawyers which
has been considering the, subject for

lowing increases: Supreme court,
from s12,500 to s17,500; United States
circuit court, from $1,000 to $4,000;
United States district court, from
$4,000 to $4,000.

imately twice as much time to their
duties.

BRYAN ATTACKS
LIQUOR TRADE:
NEBRAskAM IN HIS OWN P.aPER
DECLARES "PERsoNAL L!aER-
TY" is MlsNoMER.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 19.-In an arti-
Gle which appears in today's Com
moner w. j. Bryan takes strong po-
sition in opposition to the saloon and
the liquor dealer and declares the
term personal liberty" to be a mis-
nomer. The article is taken to fore
cast Mr.. Bryan's coming declaration
for county option. The article says:
''The liquor dealers, recognizing that
their very obvious pee .riary interest
would lessen the weight of any argu-
ment which they might publicly adj
vance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting 10
represent those who use liquor. Many
well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt 20
lessen the evils Of intemperance is a
financial attack on personal liberty
1T is time the phrase personal lib
erty were defined. What is meant by
personal liberty?
Does it mean that person has a
right to drink in any quantity, any
time and any place, no matter what
injury he may inflict upon others? If
not, with whom rests the right to fix
limitations?
"a drunken man is menace to the
lives and property of those about him;
have the neighbors no right to protect
themselves?
"A drunkard robs his wife and chill
dren, and he may finally make him
se-d and his family g. charge upon soci-
ETY.. Has society no. right to protect
itself?
"The saloon is next of kin to. the
brothel and the gambling hall; it is a
rendezvous for the criminal element
and willing tool of corrupt. politicians.
Has not the body polite a right to
protect itself from the Decentralization
which the saloon works?
THE right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand the
establishment of saloon. The right
to drink is sufficiently protected oy
any arrangement that permits the rea-
.sonable use of liquor under reasonable
conditions; and it must be remember
ed that the right to drink, like any
other right, can be forfeited"
