field. Given a group Of fifty or a
hundred men in any city, who are
willing to smile at SANDER, hoot al
libel. grin at all 1.-The filings and arrows
Of the outrageous" bunch in the city
hall, and that crowd Of thorough
breds, even though it should lose
campaign after campaign, will find its
ideals accepted by the victors n Its
theories growing into city government
No crooked majority in a city Is SC
crooked and so arrogant that 1t can
afford, after it's victory, to ignore the
intelligent minority II defeated.
1t may hold torchlight professions
over the political bodies of defeated
candidates, it may roll the minority
platforms in the dust and sneer and
jeer at the highbrow, goody-goody de-
mands. But little by little every ma
jority finds itself during the years OF
it's administration taking up, m
times in q modified form, but taking
nevertheless, the very demands
and programme which it affected so
brutally to scorn.
It is the success of a man who is
willing to accept shame as his victory,
who is willing to accept contumely
and ridicule as his triumph, who really
wins in politics. The man who gets
the office, who heads the torchlighf
procession, who rides in the band
wagon, is as sure to fail as day is to
follow night. Politics is no place for
the scrub who needs to win campaign
and carry elections to justify his
faith. But there Is plenty of room in
politics for the thoroughbred who
car play his hand like a gentleman
lose like a prince and realize that
temporary defeat of his cause Is really
his "triumph's evidence."-A. w

MOST DEADLY MACHINE GUN
The Belgian "Rattlesnake' 10 the In
vention Of an American.


v~ention of an American.
That gun-the Belgian rattlesnake'
as it came to be called on the firing
line, because Of its deadly rattle In
action-is an American gun, says
Leslie's Weekly. 1t Is the invention of
a retired United States army officer.
It is the most ferocious small death
machine ever known, and yet n man
| can carry and operate it.
Two years ago. Col. Isaac Newton
| Lewis, u. s. A., retired, late of The
United States coast artillery, offered
his invention on an automatic air
cooled machine gun to the United
States government, and 1t was tried
out by United States aerial var craft
in an official test at College Park
| Maryland.
Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, U.
S. N, then chief Of naval ordinance
made the observation that 1000 OF
these air craft could be purchased and
| equipped with the new machine gun

And this was the verdict of Brig
| Gen. James Allen, chief Of the signal

will be surprising
Precisely this is what the present
| European war has disclosed, with the
| Lewis machine gun being used by
| the Belgians first, and now, from the
| latest reports from the front, by both
British and Russian troops, against
the kaiser's men. Nevertheless, this
gun was rejected by our government

sole rights to the use and manufacture
Of his machine gun to Germany. This
he refused to do, and he next trieo
England. The British government
consented to his selling the guns tt
her allies, but at the time would mo-
guarantee to TAKE all that Col. Lewis
could manufacture. Col. Lewis ther
went over to Belgium, and there hi
sold his guns without any restrictions
and, luckily for the Belgians, up t
the time the war broke out he hae
been able to make only enough gun:

capable Of rapid continuous fire under

APRIL
Interesting Facts Pertaining to the
Fourth Month Of the Year.

Interesting Facts Pertaining to the
Fourth Month Of the Year.
Written for the Yorkville Enquirer.
April, the fourth month in u CAL
endar, which contains thirty days, wa
the second month in the old Roman
calendar. April comes from a Latin
word, aperire, which means toe open,
because the buds open themselves al
this period. Before the time Of Julius
Caesar, the month Of April contained
only twenty mine days. He added the
thirtieth.
In the time of the Emperor Nero
who resigned shortly after the resur-
rection of Christ, April was called Me-
roneus, in honor Of Nero. On all
antique monuments and statues the
month of April is represented as q
dancing youth with a rattle in his
hand.
There are many ancient ceremonies
and customs pertaining to the month
Of April-one Of the best known OF
which is April fools day. which always
occurs on April l. This custom OF
sending people on empty errands and
laughing at them on April l, is COM
mon in every country in Europe and
wherever the English language is
spoken. There are two accounts OF It's
origin. Oriental scholars say hat 1t
is derived from the hull" feast among
the Hindus, where a similar custom
prevails, while others say that II
comes from a celebration Of Christ
being sent to and fro between Herod,
PLATE and Caiphas.
April is the anniversary month OF a
number of famous naval battles in the
worlds history. Among them being
the battle Of Gibraltar Bay, in which
the Dutch defeated the Spanish, April
25th, 1907, and the Battle Of Santa
Cruz, in which the Spanish fleet was
destroyed by. the English, April ~
1897.
The two greatest wars in the history
Of the United States began in April
the Revolutionary war beginning with
the battle Of Lexington, fought be-
tween American citizens and British
soldiers, April 10, ITS, and the war
between the sections, which may be
said to have opened with the capture
of Fort Sumter, near Charleston, by
South Carolina volunteers, April 13,
1861. Four years later. in April, the
Confederate troops under General Lee,
surrendered at Appomattox-April g.
1866.
It was in April, 1907, that the first
English settlers Of the American con-
tinent Jamestown, May Is, 1900 left
England for their new homes in an
unknown land.
Four presidents of the United States
Jefferson, James Monroe,
James Buchanan and Ulysses S. Grant,
were born in April, and it was April
IA, 1866, that President Lincoln was as
sassinated in a Washington theatre,
by John Wilkes Booth, an actor.
George Washington was inaugurated
the first president Of the United States
April 80. 1888.
William Shakespeare, the greatest
dramatic poet the world has ever
known, was born at Stratford-o on
Avon, England, April %.
It was on last Thursday that the
birthday Of Germany's strong man
Prince Won Bismack, was celebrated
he having been born April l, 1876
one hundred years ago. b.
The battle Of Monck's Corner, S. c.
in which the Americans were defeated
by English troops, was fought April
IA, 1880, the Americans having rs mer
killed and 73 wounded.

Her compensation.-The cook for a
we'll known Seattle family left, and
no other could be obtained, so the
lady Of the house did the cooking
herself, with such satisfactory results
that, after a month, her husband
gave her a beautiful set Of sables as a
token Of his appreciation Of the good
dinners he had enjoyed This moved
one of the neighbors to act accordingly
when her cook quit suddenly. Ad-
dressing her husband, she said:
well, the cook has gone and I'm
not going to bother to get another.
I'm going to do the cooking myself,
deary. You heard what Mr.. So-and-So
gave his wife when she did the cook
ing?"
And, putting her arm around his
neck, she cooed: What shall l get for
my cooking?"

ing her away, you will get a long

in crisply:

A horried scream greeted this re-
mark and Their she was able to put
in her call.

THE TOLL OF BLOOD.
Killed and Wounded Total At Least
100000 Men.

These figures stagger one, says a
New York dispatch, but a moments
reflection will show that they are by
no means exaggerated. The total loss
es so far in this war have been at least
5000, 900 killed. wounded or put out
Of action on both sides.
The Prusslan lists alone show losses
in excess Of 100000 men. and it is
admitted that this is not half of the
German losses. A very conservative
estimate to date is that Germany has
lost 100000 men, and that Austria
has lost nearly if not quite 100000
Of the allies Russia has lost most
heavily and although no accurate
figures are available, her casualties
total at least $500, 900. The French
have lost we'll owe 100000. No
body knows what the Servian losses
are, but they have been estimated
at 225,OOO. Great Britain has lost at
least 10000, counting the casual
ties in her Indian forces. Belgium
has had nearly 100. 1000 put hors de
combat.
This gives roughly a total loss of
3 ZOO, 900 for the allies and about
$500, 600 for their enemies.
a million men is therefore not an
exaggerated number to sacrifice in
order to be able to break through
the German lines. The fact that
preparations have been made on this
| basis shows that the effort cannot
now be long delayed. When will it
take place?
Quite recently Mr.. Asquith. an
swering a question in the house of
commons in reference to the opera
lions in the Dardanelles, declared that
some of the advantages that 1t was
expected to derive from the forcing
of the straits were so obvivious that it
was unnecessary to state them, and
that the other advantages were not

Possible Plan Of Attack.

An enormous mass Of heavy artil-
lery will be concentrated as rapidly as
possible on the point chosen for the
attack. 1t may be that as many as
1000 cannon will be used, and in q
few hours of sustained bombardment
every living thing will be swept from
a path several miles in width right
through the German lines. Through
the opening thus made army after
army must be thrown, positions on
the TANKS must be taken by frontal
attack; at all costs the German line
must be broken so as to force a stra-
tegic retreat.
1t is the belief of high French and
British officers that once the Germans
begin to move they will go a long way
before they can stop and dig them
selves in. but it is known hat behind
