the traitorous senators who should be
expelled from Office.
There is no national recall in this
country and it is not possible to re-
move Presid snt Wilson until the end
of his four years term. But it will
be possible to remove the democrats
in congress and to deprive the demo
cratic party of control Of the govern
ment in the election which occurs in
November of this year.
The election Of this year will not
be a party matter. It will be pat
riotic matter. It will be the duty of
loyal American citizens to consider
only the welfars OF our people and
our country, and to remove party
which IS menace to national pros
perity and progress.
There should be no division among
the people on minor matters to en-
danger the outcome Of the fall cleo
tions.
There should be unity among all
patriotic citizens, determination to
prevent any further injury and humil-
iation to the nation and hope that
there is still time to prevent the aban-
donment of the Philippines or any
other disastrous act OF democratic
disloyalty and stupidity.
There is no limit to ths injury that
the democratic party might inflict up
on this country if it were returned to
power with any sort Of Endorsement Of
it's dangerous and d;sloyal acts. The
country must be rescued from such
possible injury, and the injury al
ready inflicted must be repair I'd as
far as it is possible to do SO.
Prosperity must be restored to our
people. Our prestige must be renew
ed and our national rights and privi-
leges regained.
The men named to oppose the dis
loyal democrats this fall must be
worthy Of so great and so patriotic a
task. They must be elected over

a traitorous democracy, but as ben

There were ten old soldiers work

The youngest was 6S, the Oldest
was II, and their average age was

The salaries which they were re-

They had put the efficiency tests on

So, in conformity with the rules,
they had denoted these old fellows,

NEVER MIND.
Sometimes. when nothing goes just
right,
And worry reigns supreme.
When heartache fills the eyes with
mist,
And all things useless seem,
There's just one thing can drive away
The tears that sca1d and blind
Someone to slip a strong arm round.
And whisper. Never mind"
No one has ever told just why
Those words such comfort bring:
Nor why that whisper makes our
cares
Depart on hurried wing.
Yet troubles say quick "Good-day!"
We leave them far behind
When someone slips an arm around,
And whispers. Never mind"
But love must prompt that soft caress
The love must aye be true;
Or at that tender, clinging touch
No heartease comes to you.
; But If the arm be moved by love,
Sweet comfort you will find
When someone slips an arm around,
And whispers, Never mind"

yesterday to thu detriment OF the lat

picking cherries within the limits OF

declared not strictly state business,
anu the; law was invoked. The infor-
nations were sworn out against War
den Sanders.
The following is from the Fort

This afternoon for the first time an
opportunity presented itself for q
test OF the power OF the late city or
dinance which prohibits prisoners
from within the city unless within the

in charge OF Guard Wright, were
found picking cherries on the prop
erty of John Downs In the southwest

on notification Of the fact the local
police took the whole outfit into GUS
