Peculiarly promising to their hopes
was the indisputable fact that the
princes mother had married an Ameri-
can. thereby establishing a precedent
behind which no constitutional obstacle
could thrive. and had lived very hap
PLY with the gentleman in spite Of the
critics.
1t appears that the prince after lei
surely crossing the continent on his way
around the world had come to the
Truxton Kings for long promised and
much desired visit. the duration Of
which depended to some extent on his
ewn inclinations and not little on the
outcome Of the war talk that affected
two great European nations-Russia
and Austria. Mr.. Blithers was in a
position to know that the little prlnci-
pality over which the young man reign
ed was bound to be drawn into the
cataclysm not as a belligerent or an
ally, but in the matter Of a loan that
inconveniently expired within the year
and which would hardly be renewed
by Russia with the prospect Of vast
expenditures OF war threatening her
treasury. The loan undoubtedly would
be called, and Graustark was not in a
position to pay out Of her own slender
resources, two years Of famine having
fallen upon the people at a time when
prosperity was most to be desired.
1t was the private opinion Of Mr..
Blithers that the young prince and the
trusted agents who accompanied him
on his Journey were in the United
States solely for the purpose of arrang-
ing q loan through sources that could
only be reached by persona! appeal.
But all this is beside the question.
The young Prince Of Graustark was
enjoying American hospitality. and no
matter what he owed to Russia, Amer
ica owed to him it's most punctillious
consideration.
The main point is that the prince was
now rusticating within what you might
call a stones throw Of the capacious
and lordly country residence Of Mr..
Blithers; moreover, he was an uncom-
monty attractive chap. with a laugh
that was so charged with heartiness
that It didn't seem possible that he
could have a drop Of royal blood In his
vigorous young body. And the perfect
~ ridiculous part Of the whole situa-
tion was that Mr.. and Mrs. King lived

allowed him to fetch and carry for

an ordinary whippersnapper up from
the city to spend the week end.
The remark with which Mr.. Blithers
introduces this chapter was in response
to an oft repeated declaration made by
his wife. Mrs. Blithers merely had
stated-but over and over again-that
money couldn't buy everything in the
world, referring directly to social emil

a VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

President Wilson has been given q
vote of confidence by both houses of
congress. The mischievous attempt at
individual meddling in foreign affairs
has been voted down. Last Friday the
Senate tabled the Gore resolution by a
vote Of G8 to "A. And yesterday the
House Of Representatives killed the
McLemore resolution by a vote of 276

PATRIOTISM

A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who cul
tivate them; not by its great forests, but
by the men who use them; not by its
mines, but by the men who work in
them; not by its railways, but by the
men who build and run them. Ameri
ca was great land when Columbus
discovered it; Americans have made of
it a great Nation.
In 1916 our fathers had vision of a
new Nation "cOnceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal" Without an
army they fought the greatest Of exist
ing world empires that they might real
ize this vision. A third Of a century
later, without navy they fought the
greatest navy in the world that they
might win for their Nation the freedom
Of the seas. Half century later they
fought through an unparalleled Civil
War that they might establish for all
right of life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness. a third Of a century later
they fought to emancipate an oppressed
neighbor, and, victory won, gave back
Cuoa to the Cubans, sent an army of
schoOlmasters to educate for liberty the
Filipinos, asked no war indemnity from
their vanquished enemy, but paid him
literally for his property. Meanwhile
they offered land freely to any farmer
who would live upon and cultivate it,
opened to foreign immigrants on equal
terms the door Of industrial opportunity,
shared with them political equality, and
provided by universal taxation for uni
versal education.
The cynic who can see in this history
only theme for his egotistical satire is
no true American, whatever his parent
age, whatever his birthplace. He who
looks with pride upon his history which
his fathers have written by their heroic
deeds. who accepts with gratitude the
inheritance which they have bequeathed
to him, and who highly resolves to pre-
serve this inheritance unimpaired and
to pass it on to his descendants en-
larged and enriched, is true Ameri
can, be his birthplace Or his parentage

THE HUSTlNG WATER-POWER
Bill

a Washington press dispatch says
that Senator Husting advocated in the
senate on Monday his substitute water
power bill, which is understood to meet
the approval of conservationists who
have attacked the pending Shields bill.
He declared the leasing provision Of the
Shields measure would operate to in
sure the award of all the choice leases
TO plants which have the most money
behind them. The substitute would re-
tain authority for construction of dams
and water power plants in congress,
with Il commission Of cabinet members
authorized to grant thirty year permits
for development Of the property to be
taken over by the federal government
at the end Of the permit period"
Senator Husting has good under
standing of what is right in water
power legislation; and, with a militant
spirit, he always puts up a strong fight
for that which is right. The water power
grabbers must be halted; and the men
who halt them will be entitled to the
everlasting gratitude of the American
people.
If the Shields bill should pass both
houses of congress, as it seems likely
to pass the senate, President Wilson
ought to veto it.

A local newspaper which came to
The Democrats exchange table last
week devoted considerable space to
slamming modern women. At the
head of the local column appeared sew
eral verses of doggrel on woman's
apparel; while the first article on the
editorial page was a railing accusation
on account of race suicide, which Miss
Tarbell has proven to be largely current
fiction. The publication of such stuff
is harmful. 1t is decidedly out of place
in local newspaper. 1t is only re-
ferred to here for the purpose of dis.

Probably at no other period in the
history of Mineral Point has the sub
ject of Politics been so much in evil
dence as it is at present.
From all sides may be heard the
voice of the people loudly protesting
against the Political Spells System.
There should be a reconstruction
period, a new patriotic spirit of the
people manifested. No man should be
elected or appointed to an office who
does not desire that Office from a
pecuniary gains should be cast aside.
Most positions pay a compensation for
the work and labor attached thereto;
but aside from such salary, there
should be no other revenue. In the
other offices, the ordinary business man
can attend to his own business and
public office at the same time without
impairing either one.
What the people want, and need now,
are leaders in whom the people can put
their trust. There are many important
measures facing our city at the present
time and the people must have true,
upright men to negotiate these meas
urcs for them,-men whose actions are
guided by the Square Deal. which is
the modern name Tor the Golden Rule.

THE. MODERNLAUNDRY.

The modern laundry is not the result
ION. 1t is the sign of the times, big
contributor to the evolution of civiliza
ton. a factor in the sum of human
happiness, sanity, sweetness and light.
Thanks to the ingenious equipment
and scientific methods introduced by
laundry machinery and laundry owners,
blue, Monday" is becoming rapidly
relegated to place among the things
that We're. The women of today realize
that the laundry can, and the laundry
does, clean clothes more effectively and
efficiently than can be done at home
and that the proper place to have the
family linens cleansed, is in a modern
hygenic, laundering establishment. The
laundry takes the soiled linen from the
home, returns it, fragrant and de-
lightful package of healthful, helpful,
clean clothes.
Instead of merely using the laundry
as convenience, people are realizing
that it holds a place In the community
as useful and essential as bank, a
store, postoffice or telephone Office.
Dirt and disease az ,, the laundryman's
enemies, and he allies himself with the
health officer on the side of cleanliness,

and Wants New One.
LeavenWorth, Kan.-Afraid to trust
his decaying cork leg over the bumps
and pitfalls of the outside world, G. V.
Stamey, prisoner of the Kansas state
prison, declined the privilege of being
with his parents. Stamey was sent up
from Shawnee county in 1910 to serve
q sentence of from five to ten years
for arson. Governor Capper committed
his sentence.
AS he was preparing to leave the
prison to go to the home Of his par
ents in Norton, Kan, he noticed that
his cork leg, which he had brought
with him when he entered a cell five
years ago, was in bad shape.
Then he decided that he couldn't
trust it any longer and turned back.
He will wait until the prison board
meets again, when he will ask that a
new leg be bought for him, as he is
without funds.
