he sense meant by the World-Her-

the sense meant by the World-Her-
aid. It was through his kindly adj
vice and far-seeing craftsmanship
that the war between Russia and
Japan was brought to close and
because of his record while presi-
dent of the United States he was
awarded the Noble peace prize. With
Roosevelt in the white house the
world knew the United States would
demand only justice and that it
would not hesitate to enforce JUS
tice. Hence the country was re-
spected abroad and it was not neces-
sary to demand of the president Of
an adjoining nation that he salute
the flag, a demand that was never
honored. There is way to avoid
war by being prepared for war and
there is way to invite complica-
tons very likely to lead to war, by
pursuing a vacillating policy. In
speaking of the patriotic services
rendered by the ex-president in his
recent visit to South America, J. A.
Zahm says in the July issue of the
American Review of Reviews: -.
It is undeniable that Roosevelt
rendered invaluable service to his
country during the six months he
spent in South America. He made
it better and more favorably known
than ever before. He cleared up
doubts and dissipated suspicious re-
specting our future intentions in the
southern continent. He made it
clear to every one who heard him
that he wishes to see all the repub-
lies of South America enjoy the
same freedom, the same independ-
ence, the same opportunities to re-
alize their aspirations and work out
their several destinies as we our
selves possess. His discourses every
where, whether before the Historical
society at Rio de Janeiro, or the
Museo Social of Buenos Ayres, or
the military and naval. officers of
Talcahuano and Bahia Blanca, were,
one and all, fervid and patriotic ap-
peals for honest politics and clean
living, for harmony and cooperation
among the great brotherhood of ma
lions in the western hemisphere, for
all that makes for peace and right
eousness in their dealings with one
another, for the cultivation and de-
,velopment of those virtues and char
acteristics which are conducive to
national liberty, national progress,
national honor and greatness.

John r. Hamilton's literary bureau
is very busy these days sending out
literature to the voters of the state.
Some good arguments are put up for
Mr.. Hamilton, but this is a republi-
can year in Iowa and the republican
ticket is going to be elected from
top to bottom. The democrats have
made mistake in forcing the is
sues along national lines, thus COM
polling republicans to vote for repub-
lican candidates to prevent the claim
being made throughout the nation
that Iowa has endorsed the demo-
cratic administration.

Harry Hagan, who has just returned

Capital.
The great west knows nothing of
the conditions in the east so far as
feeling the effects, but if hard times
continue in that section of the coun-
try it must inevitably have it's effect
upon the west in lessening the de-
mand for the things which the west
has to sell. We must have a mar
ket and when that market is de-
pressed It must have influence upon
prices.

vouis FLOYD, secretary OF the FroV-
ad>rt association, in his report at the
annual meeting of the association IN
the First Baptist church Saturday rec
ovnmended the establishment OF a rock
nile To provide employment Tor the
needy when work is scarce. he con
+.nded that the crushed rock could be
sold to the city on contract. He ureeo
that the industrial side OF the asso,
citation work should be given speciah
emphasis.
DR.. Graham Taylor Of Chicago In
the course of an address insisted that
the state should help In sowing the
problem Of the poor.
."This problem of the poor Is not an
individual problem said DR.. Taylor.
lit is not a thing for which a rev gen
erous persons should be responsible.
but the state must finally make prov1-
sion for the care of destitute and men
who are out of employment.
my advice to you who are interest
ed in the Provident association, and In
any other charity. is to put 1t up to
your city that the city must furnish
employment for the unemployed. Put
1t up to them and keep 1t there and
finally you will get just that.
First, though, each business man
must take the matter up with another
business man, and the women must
take the matter up among themselves
No amount ofToratory can make the
impression that your individual appeal
can make. So go about it that way.
Get others thinking the way you think,
and the problem will almost solve it
self"
DR.. Taylor also gave a strong ad-
dress Sunday morning at the Central
Congregational church on "Mobiliza-
ton for Peace Suggested by War"

The Stonebridge family had occu-

At midnight peculiar noises would
come from the cellar. The sounds re-

One night about l a. m, as near as

been passed across their threats.
They orened their eyes almost stimuli

straight at them.
