reality and that universal peace
shall bless the world.
The powers with this object in
view well know that the present EN-
perors of the Germans and Austrians
are not the men to enter heartily in
to this plan; they realize their IN
clinations are for war and for that
reason alone ii would not be sur
prising to see them demand abdi-
cation and the government placed in
the hands of the people. France be
fore 1870 under Napoleon the Little,
was almost a nonenity among nations.
France as a republic since that date
with a government placed in the
hands of the people has become one
of the great nations of the earth.
Will this bit of history be repeated
in the German states?

Not only has the state govern
ment been conducted along economi-
cal lines, and when compared with
any republican state will show that
the democrats have given better
government with less money, but in
local affairs the democrats have also
been economical
A short comparison of counties
conducted by republicans and those
with democratic officials will serve
to show that it would be folly to
turn the democratic party out of of
flee and put in the republicans.
The following letter addressed to
Governor Lee Cruce and signed by
Fred Parkinson, state examiner and
inspector, contains some valuable in
formation along this line.

THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT.

The titanic European struggle has
been going on now for eight weeks,
and while there are no perceptible
indications that it will soon cease,
yet many statesmen are optimistic
that the end is not far off, and that
negotiations will soon be under way
to bring about a cessation of hos
tilities. Without going into the ques-
ton as to the cause of the war, or
who was responsible for the con
flict that has deluged France, Belgi-
um, Austria and Germany in blood
one fact is patent, militarism is re
ceiving its death blow. No longer
will any nation under the Heavens
delight in calling its ruler "War
Lord" and bowing to the will and
caprices of monarch whole oslo
ambition is, and has been for forty
years, to build up fighting machine
for the subiugation of all other pow
ers that he might be known as the
Supreme Emperor.
The war will be fought to a finish
the allies will prevail, and Germany
as an empire will be no more. The
German people. that is, the great
common class, the brain and Drawn
that has made the empire great, are
to be pitied in this struggle; but in
the end they will be better off;
their interests will be safer in the
hands of a republic and in the arts
of peace they will be recognized as
they are now, the peers of any ma
ton on earth. They will be as wei

American people are proud to cal

is not likely to forget the stupendous
war indemnity she had TO pay in
1870 when the provinces of Alsace
and Lorraine were wrested from her,
and her treasury depleted by the pay

going to sit idly by at the day of
settlement and Seryia must be ac-

But the payment of money is not
going to satisfy the powers who are
combating Germany at the present
time If that were all It might not
be so very long before the ruler of

conditions, would be of the family
