ARE WE TO INITIATE EVERYTHING
IN EUROPE?

Just how far this country can go In
Imitation of foreign countries must re-
main for the future to determine. Take
Germany, for instance. That country
Is prosperous compared with her own
past history, but not compared with
ours. But Germany is generally re-
ferred to in this country as place OF
thrift. The government owns all the
railways, telephone and telegraph
lines in that country. The employees
of these enterprises work for less than
they would exact in private employ
ment. Germany maintains a standing
army of over 100000 men. These SOL
diers receive, one cent day. They
are compelled to serve. 1t often hap
pens that rich mans son and poor
mans son bunk" together in the
army. The rich mans son receives
money from home and hires the poor
mans son to do all the work for both,
such work as caring for horses, etc.
The German soldier is a mental,
though brave and a good fighter. A
colonel in the German army receives
$1,000 per year. He is not permitted
to marry, unless he marries wife who
is able to support him and herself also.

the government officials are losing
sleep trying to discover new ways of
raising money from the people.
Theater tickets, handbills, hotel bills,
marriage licenses are all taxed. Be-
side, there is an income tax. The
government is supreme in everything.
IT is mistake to suppose that tele-
phone and telegraph rates are cheaper
in Germany than in America for the
same kind of service, when the pay Of
the employees is considered. The tele-
phone and telegraphic employees are
given but pittance, and the majority
Of them are not capable of doing the
work they are given to do. All Of
them wear uniforms and that is about
all there is to it. Therefore, when we
pick out country in Europe for the
purposes of imitation, we want to con-
slider what that country is doing. The
civil employees and the German army
are the kaiser's bulwark. He could
not be voted out. No primary could
reach him.-Des Moines Capital.

should now be raging along a country
road at nightfall to find something
that so horribly hurt them both.
1t was almost dark-save for the
starlight--when he saw the shadow Of

stark from it's huddle Of foliage

pushed open the gate and went slow

side Of the path something showed
snow-like on the ground, and he went
toward 1t. Nearer, he saw that 1t
was a mass Of flowers, staring up
whitley from the semi-obscurity from
within an iron railing. He bent over,
suddenly noting the scent; It was cape
jessamine.
y With a curious sensation Of almost
perscience plucking at him, he took
a box Of vestas from his pocket and
struck one. It flared up illuminating
a fiat granite slab In which was cut
a name and inscriptions:

THEFT CHARGE DISMISSED.
Hasty Action Of Brother Placed
Eleanor Vale in predicament.

A superficial knowledge of law caused
the brother of Eleanor Vale to place his
sister in serious predicament in Police
Court this morning. The girl appeared
before Judge Pugh, charged with the
theft of dress from Samuel Sheers
Vale informed the court that, having
a judgment against Sheers. he had per-
suaded his sister to order the dress, and
then had refused to pay for 1t. He said
that he had received legal advice that
this was proper thing to do under the
circumstances and that he was entirely
to blame for anything that his sister had
done.
Judge Pugh advised him to have the at
torney who had given him the advice dis
barred and dismissed the case after
pointing out to the boy the serious con-
sequences of his hasty action.
