SHALL THIS NATION LIVE FOR.
EVER.

This nation must become the ruling
power of this earth, and in order to
so, it must change its present attitude
in the conduct of the people and gov
ernment. on the great questions which
involve the growth and development
of the country-as q leader 1of the
world In all the things that make a
country great and lasting Everything
which stands in the way of national
advancement must be hewn down and
cast aside. The cost this may bring
to other countries is not to be con.
sldered If the benefits derived are suf-
flclent. This has been the ruling
spirit in all countries, since the be-
ginning of time, and must continue
to the end. That country which seeks
to win by more humane way. will
soon be the chief mourner at its own
funeral.
The helping Of other nations in the
name of religion, race or commerce.
Will bring distinction on our own
heads If the country helped gets
strong enough to place it there. II
we are to make a home and place
for the millions to come, we must
adopt the policy that all other great
nations have adhered TO I'VE must
live let all others die"
The European war now going on
will open the way for the United
States to become and forever remain,
the worlds greatest power in ali
things. If we can as a nation see our
way clear to keep out of a conflict
with all of them, we shall gain the
victory. While the administration is
leaning toward England and is allow
ing j. +. Morgan to act as the finan-
Cial agent of that intensely selfish
country, to whom II is said, our re-
serve banks have given up many mill
lions OF money, yet we may be able
TO pave the way to national greatness
by attending to our own country's
best interest.
Germany will win out in the end
and by so doing England will be SUBJ
tected to much loss of national power
and material worth and thereby be-
come a government of limited power
and iTfluence so that Canada will no
longer remain n part Of her kingdom,
but seek to become a part Of this
country. which will be accomplished
without delay. The British possess
sions on this hemisphere will become
a part Of this country-by the asking
and Mexico will also be taken I'm with
all Of Central America, which in time
Will lead the whole of South America
into Uncle Sans fold. Then this
hemisphere will be controlled by the
Washington government. and we will
have home and place for all our
people for all time to come.
We shall then become and remain
the worlds great power and ths

time. JOHN A. OLIPHANT

WARS STIMULUS TO INVENTION

War is sometimes not an unmixed
evil in that it develops the inventive
genius Of people, especially to the
defeated or isolated people, to the
nth power. This has always been
more or less true, but it is empha-
sized by the tension of the Gordon

the Civil war in this country the folks

Il was quite true that he had been
boning hard-and also on the quiet.

he had mastered every answer by
heart "You bet your life I'm going

Ten minutes later Neal and Welcher
were seated side by side at desks in
the old,fashloned little schoolroom.
The examination questions had been
written on the ample blackboards that
completely circled the room The e1-

printed list OF questions.
There was a knock on the door and
the congressman came in. The exam

signed it as requested:

as a gentleman that | have neither OBJ

He had no sooner finished signing
than Joe Welcher approached the
desk.

Welcher signed his own honor slip.
Neal waited-and while he waited, he
thrust his hand into his coat pocket.
There was something unfamiliar
there. Involuntarily he drew it out
it was a crumpled printed paper. The
examiners eagle eye was upon 1t in
an instant.

exclaimed.

them to the floor. He pointed to the

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the FOOD.

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
lures way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years followed
railroad work, much Of 1t being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to 160
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more l ate the
