THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Perhaps we may accept the assur-
ance that the men who fought a great
war to a finish lately met at Gettys-
burg with no intention of exciting a
spirit of militarism in their country
men-we may be prouder TO know that
they found each other worthy of a
higher companionship and that they
are ready to accept one another as
citizens of a common country equally
devoted to all its interests and its fu D..
ture. The proposition that each body
discard it's former name and join
themselves together as the United Vet
Grams of America deserves our en-
dorsement exactly so far as it proves
that each is ready to accept the othe~
as worthy and to meet on common
ground as former soldiers who are
now citizens only.
But this meeting can only bear good
fruit when the two bodies meet as
equals, deserving equal credit and en-
joying equal rights At present such
an understanding is not possible. For
fifty years one of these bodies has
been treated as the savior of the ma
ton and the other as the enemy that
sought its destruction-for one of
them the nation has been taxed with
out limit set by reason or right while
the other has many times been made
to feel the suspicion and hatred of the
national government. 1t is true that
some politicians have proposed 10
pension the Confederate Veterans but
if the offer was made in good faith
was accompanied by conditions which
caused it to be refused with contempt
times failed to acknowledge the limi-
tations set by themselves on the re-
wards they claimed If all are not
prepared to believe that Confederate
soldiers had no desire to destroy the
nation and honestly believed they
were fighting to maintain the consti-
tuition as it was written and originally
accepted, it is possible that nothing
more should be desired
Are the Confederate Veterans pre-
pared to accept a pension at this late
day as an inducement to abandon the'
organization and become a part of the
Veterans of America? We do not be-
lieve it-they would surrender too
much to get too little
Are the Union Veterans, after fifty
years enjoyment of the proceeds OF
taxation prepared to admit that en-
ough has been done for them? Let
them answer But only if one of
these two compromises can be made
will a common organization be pos
sible and idealists may as well dis
cuss the possibility openly. If the
Union Veteran willingly gave up his
pension we grant that atonement
would be made in very great degree
lend the world offered an example il
Inow sadly needs-an example of vol
untary self-sacrifce that would put
the beneficiaries of high protection to
shame and set new standard Of
American citizenship.-Florida Times

Little stomach wakes up bright,
Feeling good-slept all night.
Master sends his breakfast down
Bacon, eggs and coffee brown;
Little stomach goes to work
To digest without a shirk;
Breakfast scarcely finished when
Here comes lunch for two brave men.
Little stomach onward tolls
Thro' the fricased and broils,
Then, as if to get his goat,
Comes a dinner table d'hote;
Everything from soup to nuts;
Master is the King of Nuts;
Dinner measures two hours long
Twixt the courses wine and song;
Not the sparkling champagne drink,
But wine la red ink;
Little Stomach knuckles down
To his task without a frown
Works like fury there below
While good master sees a show.
Table d'hote is stored away,

Hurt, indignant, sorely grieved;

But this joke has gone too far.

CALUMET GAS COMPANY
IS INSTALLING new MAIN
TO REPLACE MAIN FLOODED
WITH WATER DURING
THE BREAKUP.

The Calumet Gas company today
commenced the installation of a new
main in the alley between Woodland
avenue and Amysdaloid street from
First To the north boundary of the
village. This step was nccessitatcd
by the fact that a leak in the main
pipe serving the residents of these
streets permitted the water to enter
the pipes and stopped the low of gas.
Efforts To locate and repair the leah,
were or no avail, for the main was no
sooner pumped dry than il again
would I'M with water ana about the
only way To make permanent repairs
would be Ia dis up the pipe complete

cd upon.

this being frequent occurrence with
