But No, Till Then,

In the dim and misty future when
the face of things wears another smile,
and politics takes up a new line OF bat
tie, and education takes on new
hope, and the philosophy Of good will
and real comfort dwells in the hearts
Of the people, and selfishness hides in
the caves Of despair. and people talk
of real things, and the seats OF the
scornful are empty, and courtesy
dwells in every household and street
car. and business refuses TO take an,
undue advantage. and the taxpayer Is,
considered. and the boss is labeled
with the trilobites, and good books are
read and new Jokes are told, and men,
and women say good things OF one an,
other. and political plumber Is a crime,
and splitting on the sidewalks Is a dis
grace. and the ships sail through the
Panama canal. and The Hague tribunal

The mayor declared the ordinance
adopted He stated he hoped 10 have
another ordinance relating to
licenses on drug store, electric COM
panies. etc, which, like that just
passed. would be regulative and also
revenue measures for the city.
The ordinance limiting the number
of saloons to one for every 500 popu-
| lation, ascertained from the school

Alderman Greaney said he believed
the increased license alone would
serve to reduce the number and he
did not see the need of limiting the
number by ordinance Still he would
vote for this measure provided the
limitation be made one for 500, and

A Challenge to Socialists

A man who writes with his own hand the
editorials on four pages Of weekly paper,
and on thirty or forty pages of monthly
magazine, and who always has a book or two
under way, and who does much reading and
some thinking before writing, has no time nor
inclination to accept Socialist challenges for
debates,-not even when the delicate PROPOSE
ton is made to pay me to do it.
But since the brethren are so fond of send
ing me challenges, I'll send them one; and
then we will all watch them.
[ challenge the Socialists to put in their
next national platform these simple and plain
declarations:
a. eve demand the recognition of the private
ownership of land to the end that each citi-
may, if he chooses, buy home hold it as
his own individual property sell it if he wants
to- and transmit the same by deed, will in
heritance to his bodily heirs
(2.) eve demand that no change which will i'm
peril monogamy shall be made in the
riage system. We demand that the nuptial
ceremony shall be performed with sufficient
for1nality to put the evidence thereof
ord, in order that proof of the fact easily
be made whenever it becomes necessary to
do so.
(3) 'We demand that the nuptial tie shall be held
to be binding contract, for the natural life
of the contracting parties, and that neither
shall be permitted to abandon it, and form
another marital union, without the proof of
some such misconduct, some such physical,
mental or moral defect, would justify the
parties in believing that they could live
happily together.
a. owe declare belief in the superiority of
the Caucasian to the yellow, brown and
black races. We oppose social equality with
negroes. We oppose mixed schools and mixed
marriages. We believe that the interests of
civilization require that that the whites shall
rule the country eUen IN those States of the
South aohere the negroes are IN a majority"
Now, Mr.. Socialist you have been holly de-
nounclng me, and claiming that I misrepre-
sented you. To the country people, you have
been preaching one doctrine: to those of the
big cities, another.
You have been saying that your creed is

What to Ask Your Congressman
Number Tw0)

(1.) Where he was when the Dick bill was
slipped through. On the first of January,
1910, revolution in your militia system
takes place. The State troops become a part
of the United States Army, and your Gov
ernor loses the control over Them which Gov
errors have held ever since the days of
George Washington. A Democratic Presi-
dent will have power to order Ohio militia to
Pittsburg or Pennsylvania militia to Gin
cinnati A Republican President will have
power to order Massachusetts, troops to Geor-
gia or Louisiana. The states control over
her own militia will be gone after the last
day of next December.
Where a00s y0ur Congressman aOhen Gen.
tr0zismo took this enormous leap? Ash him.
(2) His term is two years, you know, and
when he is elected in November he does not
take his seat until the winter of the next year.
But his salary begins with the fourth day of
the next March. He rarely has to remain in
Washington more than eight months out of
the two years. He has a Secretary, all the
time, paid 500 per month by the Govern
ment.
Down to three years ago, the salary was
$4,000 per year Consequently, your Con-
gresham was paid $4,000 of your money,
for about eight months of his valuable time
Besides, he was allowed big mileage,-co
siderably more than his actual travelling ex-
penses.
Without saying word to you about his
intentions, your public servant jumped the
amount of his wages from $4,000 to $500
per year. And he did it in such way that
the Congressional Record does not reveal his
name. The vote did not 60 upon record.
They were afraid, or ashamed, to let you see
who it was that had pleaded with you so hard
for $4,000 job, and who then, without con-
sulting you, changed it into a $500 job
Was your CONGRESSMAN one Of the men ochO
sneoztizy added $4,000 TO his ao0ges? Was he
one Of the men aoho put has oaom vazuatiom
upon his services, and took $4,000 Of yOur
money for about eight months stag IN WASH
ingtOn?
ASK HIM.
g. After adding so heavily and priv
lily to his pay, did your Congressman give
diligent, efficient and faithful attendance to
his duties? Did he remain at the post of duty
qoheae Congress aoas IN session? Did he serve
you all the time, when the laws were being
made?

Heart-Br0kem, the Hero Died

OF one of our townspeople. The weather
changed while we were at the grave, and a
drizzle set in. Noticing that young lady
present had no umbrella, and wore thin
chest-covering, | took off my rain-coat and
insisted upon her wearing it home-which
she did.
Was there any improperly in this? No
such thought occurred to me, and [ never
heard of any criticism.
But when some cadets at West Point Of
fered their overcoats to some girls on the raw
Easter day in 1907 Colonel Scott, the Com
mandant, spoke rudely to the young ladies,
and ordered them to take the coats off,
The daughter of Mrs. Colonel Charles
Ayres was one Of the girls, and her mother
resented the manner in which her daughter
had been publicly reproved. By implication,
Colonel Scott had extensively accused the
young ladies of misbehavior
When Mrs. Ayres expressed herself freely
about the matter, Colonel Scott secured an
order from Washington forever debarring
her from the Academy grounds.
Colonel Ayres was in the Philippines at
the time. When he read what he considered
to be the defamatory statements of Colonel
Scott, concerning the conduct of Mrs Ayres
and her daughter, the husband and father
felt indignant, as any man in his place would
have done. He threatened to bring suit
against Scott The Washington authorities
sided with Scott; and before Ayres could be-
gin the lawsuit, he was kicked out of the
Army
He was required to appear before the ex-
aiming board: he was in the full flush of
manly health and strength, so far as anyone
could see; but the board returned verdict
Of "disabled". So! he was down and out
Colonel Ayres commanded the supporting
no ol,o
eral Joe Wheeler, who witnessed his gallan-
try in that battle, declared that he ought to
be made general; and President Mckinley
praised him in generous terms. But Mr.
Roosevelt did not make the promotion, and
when the grapple between Scott and Ayres
took place, the hero of the San Juan fight was
thrown out by the West Point martinez
Some time ago, the papers described the
enthusiastic cheers which greeted the return
of the Tenth Cavalry from the Philippines
Those were the negroes who supported the
famous Roosevelt charge; and Colonel Ayres,
then captain, was In command of Company
r, of that regiment. While the returned ne
groes were parading the streets of New York,
and being given the most rousing ovation, the
white man whose cOurag eOus intelligence in
refusing to obey fool order had saved the
day at San Juan (and had thus made the
reputation of the Tenth Cavalry, was griev-
ing his life out, in seclusion and neglect, in
another part of the same city.
Had Captain Ayres obeyed his orders, at
San Juan, his troops would have fired into
the backs of the Rough Riders. He acted
upon his own Judgment, directed his attack
upon the enemy, instead of upon his fellow
countrymen, and the victory was won.
What Roosevelt got out of it, all the world
knows
What the negro soldiers got, we know.
