CRUELTY.

To the Mothers. Every little while
the people are shocked at a body being
found mutilated. Do you mothers who
laugh at your children's cruelty to ami
mails know that they are going to be the
men who are capable of such deeds?
Just now team passed with three men
or apology for men. One threw rock
he had at a cat on tie sidewalk, harming
no one Then they all laughed. If that
cat had got broken leg, who was going
to put it out of misery, and what right
had he to give the cat suffering? God
made the animals the same as he did us,
and they are for our owr use and pleas
ure, and we are expected TO protect
them, not to abuse them.
A dear little white pigeon was found
out in our alley with its feet tied to-
gether so it couldn't fly. Some boys
rescued it from cat and cut the string
and let it go. The boy who tied that
pigeon and let it go for cats to kill will
cut up women when a man if he gets
angry at one.
Last winter man threw a rock at a
stray cat and broke blood vessel in its
stomach and it came to me bleeding at

O, if men who abuse animals could
only know how cowardly it looks to de-
cent people. they would stop it out of

PLEASE DON'T SWEAR" MOVEMENT.

A "Please Don't Swear movement
has been formally started in Portland at

pastor of the Congress street Methodist
church, who referred to it in sermon.
The movement may be considered nov

approval, for profsne language is looked
down upon by those who use it as we'll as
by those who do not.
A man came into my office not long
since whom j had not seen for long
time and was very glad to meet, but his
frequent use of profanity caused me to
think less of him than l otherwise would
have done, and l feel certain that he
would have thought less of me had been
profane. l feel SO because of an incident
which man related to me.
1t occurred in the days before the
| railroad was extended from Dexter and
passengers had to come here by stage or
by private team. The man had shared a
seat in the car from Newport with a
stranger who attracted him by his pleas
! ing personality and general intelligence.
This attraction lasted until they reached
Dexter, but when the stranger found that
he must ride to Dover in stage he be-

he began to swear he went way down in
my estimation
! Because of the fact that profanity is
looked down upon by all, it's use is far
less common than in years past and one
can mix with miscellaneous crowd with
out hearing it. Few men now are so
inconsistent as the man who said to his
younger brother, "Damn you, Ed; if you
don't stop swearing | will break your
neck" Today, the man who tries to

National Defense Program.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8. 1915.
In one year the American people must
decide how they shall meet a national
Crisis
Senator Reed Smoot, member of the
Senate Finance Committee, made this
statement today as comment upon the
national defense program.
GAS now proposed" said Senator
Smoot, "the proposed national defense
program involves an expenditure of
more than one billion dollars; the expen-
ditures, however, to cover a period of
five years. That expenditure must be
financed.
"How shall it be done? That is a
question voters must answer one year
later. 1t is grave responsibility.
thoroughly believe that there can be,
and will be. but one course to pursue.
That is to elect Republican President
and Republican Congress.
1.-The Republican party is the only one
that in policy and performance has prov.
en- adequate to meet such situation.
Considered from every angle the Demo-
cratic party has demonstrated it's in
ability and unftness for the task.
Remember that the balance of trade
against US during the four months pre-
ceding the war, at a time when Demo-
cratic policies and laws were in effect,
was $248, 00O,O00 What political bless
ing the war was to the Democratic
party.
"In two years the Democratic admin
istration has produced such business con-
ditions that, but for the purely acct
dental stimulus of foreign war, we
would now be in the throes of panic.
Eliminate the market created by tempo
rary artificial European demands, and
American industry would be Frustrated.
"Past history has proven that the only
way the Democratic party, when in
power, has been able to meet the ex-
travagant appropriations made by them
for the ordinary running expenses of the
government, was by the sale of bonds.
A bond issue is inevitable whether a
a national defense program is underta-
ken or not.
lin two years the Democratic admins
tration has passed scores of worthless
laws. The insertion OF meaningless
phrases in statutes, the constant VIOLA
ton of the simplest legislative rules,
have brought about more costly and
needless federal litigation than we have
ever known before.
lin two years, the Democratic adj
mlnlstration has created an enormous
deficit In our treasury, and has not ad-
yanced single plan for meeting it.
The proposed reenactment of the sugar
duty and the war tax law only retains
present revenues. Bond issues are moth
ing but loans that must be paid for in
the future

Veil Whims and Vagaries.
The world of fashionable womankind
in Gotham has taken the veil, in some of
its many new enticements, and wears it
hung from the predominating high crown
ed narrow brimmed hats with smart eff
feet, whether it masks only the upper
part of the face or falls in ample folds
below the shoulders.

ture, part of its trimming, often almost
the only garniture of the shape. Usual
ly the veil is thrown over the entire hat
and held to the crown by some slight
band trimming.
The greatest variety of style and make
prevails. A leading favorite has the lace
mesh square and run with bold designs
that wander all over, or may be confined
to the border, the plain mesh only cover
ing the face. Other wells show heavy
meshes and narrow borders of velvet silk
or fur. Wide chiffon hens border net
wells, and nets with jet or metallic bead
ing, and gold or silver embroideries are
often integral parts of imported hats.
Often the color used on the hat as a trim
ming contrast is repeated in the border
of the veil, while colored nets and Iaces
are once more employed to correspond
with the hat. A clever little stove-pipe
shape Of hatter's plush, for example,
has large meshed square veil thrown
over it, the edge bordered by narrow
hem of Kings blue silk. Around the
high crown, near its top, and over the
veil, run two narrow bands of Kings
blue silk, each held by a small jet buckle.

WHY GREECE HESITATES.

Greece is between the devil and the
deep sea. Not knowing which way to
turn the Government leaders can only
resign.
If Greece remains neutral she faces
the possibility of triumph of her old
enemy, the Turk, without Greece having
done anything to prevent such a catas-
trophe to her own aspirations.
If Greece does not go to war she also
knows that she will soon incur the open
hostility of the British Since the Greeks
have always depended on the sea for
much of their trade it would be a serious
blow to them if the great English sea
power should choose to interfere with
that trade.
Greece knows, on the other hand. that
one-third of the population Of Turkey is
Greek, and if she goes to war the fate of
her countrymen in Turkey would be pre-
carious. Athens knows the fate of the
Armenians. Naturally the Grecian Gov
eminent hesitates to jeopardize the lives
of nearly 100000 Greeks in Turkey.
which is three times the population of
Greece itself. That consideration alone
is enough to make Greece hesitate. -
