President in a Dilemma.

The Democrats will seek to delude
the people into the belief that their
tayiff measures, aside from the war
condition, would have been ideal. They
will be presented with the passing
of the tax under the terms of the
impost, whereby the lapsing of the
execution may occur next March. The
president may not suspend the tariff
upon sugar. But if he does the coun-
try therefore will lose millions in rev.
enues. Whether he does or does not
suspend this tariff he will be under
bombardment of factions of his partv

Squire Jas. P. Ward of Irondale
was in Potosi Tuesday and informed
US that that part of the country is un-
doubtedly on the verge of a great
mining boom. Recent diamond drill
work near Irondale has disclosed both
rich and extensive deposits of dissem-
mated lead, he said, These deposits
lie at an easy workable depth, the
deepest test hole being only 300 feet.
Squire Ward believes the promoters
of this development work will begin
active mining operations soon.-Po-

greatest abundance Of ecclesiastical
red tape and sacerdotal gimcrackery,
which we call Christianity, bnt Of the
real thing itself, the spirit of the Great
Teacher, we have but precious little.
Jesus loved men. Jesus respected
men,. Jesus laid the grand emphasis
on human brotherhood and the idea of
the reciprocity of its rights and du-
ties; but we think so little of n an
other, at least of the poor and the
weak, that we do not even care to
know their names. We tag them, give
them a number, set them to work in
the slave pens, and if they happen to
be broken to pieces by the machinery
we permit them to be buried at the
earliest possible notwithstanding
the tags to their successors.

Wilson has changed his mind. 1t

contrary, it admits that he is right.
But the CD. urges, because he was

The st. Louis Taxpayers Associa-
ton, an organization composed of 15,-
900 business men of that city, on Jam
uary so, issued a statement from
which the following sentence is quot
ed: ''The property owners and bust
ness people of this city are not only
taxed out of reason, higher than in al
most any city IN the Union, but they
are terrorized out of existence" This
is a rather striking commentary upon
the Republican administration in St.
Louis city. incidentally, it affords to
the people of this State a slight in
timation of what would happen in
case the Republicans should get con-
troll of Missouri.

Political Notes.

Elihu Root has erupted again. This
time he says that Wilson's foreign
policy has been weak, and not backed
up by force. And again we beg to re-
mark that if the nation hasn't suffi-
Gent military force to back up its for
eign policies, the fault lies solely with
the Republicans, who had almost con-
tinuous charge of the government
ever since the civil war.

From the State records at Jefferson

in every particular. Dr.. Flanery's
address to the class was fine, punct-
uated here and there with outbursts
of flowing eloquence. The various
parts rendered showed the work of
an experienced drill master. The
crowd was immense, filling the neatly
arranged school room to its capacity
and extending out into the school
grounds. The good ladies of the
community were there with their
baskets filed to the utmost with the
good things which they know how to
prepare to satisfy the craving of
physical man.
The young ladies and gentlemen
deserve much praise for their part of

THE veteran Lieutenant General
Nelson A Miles, former head of the
American army, is not losing sleep
because of the military and naval Gun
prepardness'' of the United States.
He says, 81 have no fear of a foreign
invader landing on our shores in large
forces. The placing of an army on
American soil is the last thing any
European Government would attempt.
1t could never be re-embarked. 1t
would dissolve like snow beneath the
midnight sun. Whenever it has been
attempted it has resulted in disaster.
= = If such an army should land
and the ships that brought them could
not be destroyed by the patriotism
and valor of the American people be-
fore they could be sent back for an
other load, then I would want to live
in some other country" The General
has back of him the one hundred
years experience of this nation. The
howl for Preparedness is new-born and
full of p%hantasy.

term. How does be suit you Texans?"
"Well, we're oHt with him for two or
three reasons, but mainly because he's
entirely too friendly with the Cath
olics." OF course, | contended that a
President ought to be ~"friendly" to
P~rotestants, Catholics and Jews alike;
that all should look alike to him-as
President. After the departure of my
young friend, | picked up one of my
exchanges - the Catholic Church

ton was arrested by an editorial Civ
ing the President Hail Columbia for
not refusing to recognize the heretical
Carranzan government in Mexico, and
