~ HIS Is the way the Jitney goes:

Whirring off down a city lane,
Playing at touch and go again.

The Jitney waits not time nor tide;
Squeeze yourself in the narrow seat,
Trample the corns on your neighbor's

Small for comfort, but great for

Here's the Jitney to serve your need.
Once we rode in an omnibus,
Next thought horse-cars the thing for

Cable and trolley they had their day,
Now the Jitney is holding sway;
This we'll favor and think it fine
Till somebody starts UP an airship

ANOTHER SONG OF HATE.

which, in translation, was printed in our
news columns yesterday, gives another

OF which We quote a part, has been

and to friends in Europe and America.
1t says: Dear Comrades: Although by
base treachery Ernst Shuster was be-

death his work has not persisted, and
we shall not cease to oppose by pro-
paganda the iniquitous policy of the
imperial government ernst Shuster

they had sworn to defend. We must
not be disheartened by the knowledge
of Internal oppression which holds
down by force a restless and indig

proclaim with renewed vigor that the

A Red-letter Day in Starkvine.

Last Friday was not Black Friday in Stark
lillc Miss. Ii was, the contrary, red letter
day, gala day, long to be remembered by the
5000 natives and visitors who enjoyed the hospi-
tally and the varied entertainment provided by
tho town and number OF cnterprising citizens
from the surrounding country, who lent valuable
aid in making the affair a complete success. The
day began with political speeches, breathing pat
riOtism and other lofty sentiments, from candi-
dates for preference at the primaries which were
held Yesterday. They spoke from a scaffold
erected by the town authorities in natural am
phithcater." the dispatches described it. The
scaifold, however, not erected for the sole
accommodation OF the speakers but for dual
hanging" marking the first legal execution in
Mississippi for many years The two condemned
mcn-nCgrocs-mountcd the scaffold when the
politicians descended and were hanged to the
hymn There Is Land OF Pure Delight Where
Saints Immortal Dwell" the great multitude of
whites and blacks joining in the chorus. And then,
according to dispatch from the scene, "The
harsh rattle OF the trap OF the gallows which killed
them no sooner had died away than the Gathering
OF knives and forks and 5000 picnicke-s be-
gan eating their lunches under the scaffold"
The affair had been thoroughly advertised by
enterprising merchants Soft drinks were free,
and the soda water fountains did rushing bust
ness while below the scafold neg-owas dealing
out sandwiches to the hungry" The accounts fail
10 state whether the two victims, to whom was
accorded the unusual distinction of being put to
death by legal process in Mississippi entered into
the holiday spirit which possessed the politicians
and the picnckcrs, though we are told that one
confessed his crime while his companion pro-
tested his innocence.
As town holiday the affair complete

beyond question their enterprise and acumen by
taking advantage of such splendid opportunity

German states can regain the pathway

We desire outraged Belgium, Lux
emburg, and France to be restored
to tranquility, and the liberation OF
Poland and Bohemia from the letters
of servitude. For nearly a year the
devastating conflict has shattered our
homes. darkened our lives. robbed US
of our bravest sons, and set the whole
civilized world against us. Our govern
ment has by foul corruption deceived
the Turkish nation and comprised its
ruin. Let US look facts plainly in the
face. No state coveted our land or
menaced German integrity. Our ships
were free to sail and welcomed IN
every ocean. Our citizens enjoyed the
fullest civil rights in all parts Of the
world. Our industrial output found
ready market in every quarter OF the
globe. Commerce was increasing year
by year. Everywhere the German flag
was respected. Today it is a badge of
infamy To their last hours the
Kaiser Won Tirpitz and Bethmann-
Hollweg will carry upon them the
brand of shame for the unparalleled
ruin they have wrought and the mis-
cry into which they have plunged the
world by their barbarism on land and
sea. Fortified by these reasons. we
earnestly appeal to every democratic
Saxon, Bavarian. Hanoverian and Wur-

THE DISAGREEABLE.
by ORISON SWEET MARDEN

Every human being has an invisible
life commander. There is power
behind the flesh that is bigger than
anything in the flesh. Our destiny de-
ponds largely upon our obedience to
the commands of this superior power
back of the flesh. Frequently it urges
us TO do the very things against which
he flesh most strenuously rebels For
example. we like our ease, to have a
good time: not to he obliged to work
too hard, or to do the things we don't
like to do.
But l have never known a man to
make dent on the world who did not
force himself to do the things that
were good for him, whether pleasant
or unpleasant. who didn't do that
which would make him grow. which
would enlarge his life. no matter how
disaCrceable ii might be TO the flesh.
In other words. | have never known
anyone to get very far in the world
who was not n good schooImastcr to
himself. who didn't go to school to his
invisible commandments higher self.
One of the surest means to overcome
the tendency to disobey the commands
of the higher self is to make a prac-
tice of buckling down TO do the first
and hardest or most disagreeable thing

will find obedience easier.
II is a pitiable thing to see strong
young men and young women remain

BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

A distinguished reformer, "the new kind of
saint" someone recently called him, maybe irrev-
erently, talking recently with old clergy
man. He was going to whose predom-
mating characteristic was known to be vanity.
What awful thing vanity isl he said. "It's al
ways getting in our way. And so many of us are
afflicted with it. l have it myself Whenever !
publish article in magazine whenever I
make speech receive praise l swell UP like a
peacock"
The old clergyman listened sympathetically.
"If you feel as you do he said, think how
must feel. l am continually getting up in the pull
pit and preaching against vanity, and yet l an,
vain myself. l am always calling myself hypo-
critic"
