New York, Nov. S.-The result of

Upon doubtful States from which
the returns are slowly coming depends
whether Mr.. Wilson has been re-
elected or whether the net President
of the United States will be Charles
E. Hughes.
Chairmen of both national COM

in the electoral college for their can

day made good the claims of neither.

Suppose Kaiser Bill HOhenZOl-

Victory Like That One,
Last Week!

As all of you children remember, there was
once King of Epirus Gin Greece) who
became dissatisfied with the size of his share
Of the earth, and who clanI1ed his sword upon
his shield, and swore by all the gods on high
Olympus that he must have a larger place in
the sun.
Being a Divine Right autocrat, he could
summon large army of common mortals,
command them to make ready to murder
other common mortals, and the Greeks who
lived under this Divine Right King dared not
disobey.
They, not being of divine origin, had no
option in the matter at all.
No matter whether they understood what
their King wanted them to fight about, they
must fight when he said so.
TIE name of this Greek King was-as YOU
remember-Pyyrhusa and mighty man of
war he was, to be sure.
He never was for one year satisfied, unless
he was threatening some other king, fighting
some other King, and gaining large place in
the sun.
You will recollect that, one fine day, King
Pyrrhus took it into his head to sail over the
seas and attack the Romans.

curacy, landed it where it would do the most
good.
In fact, she flung it right on top of the
head of Pyrrhus, and burst his brains out.
Yes, | anticipate your question: 1t billed
him.
So that was the wretched end Of a would-be
Conqueror, who wanted larger place in the
sun.
He did not even have the honor of a SOL
dier's death, but was put out of business by
the only woman who was ever known to be
able to throw rock so that it would come
within mile of what she was throwing at.
The human race lived much more comfort
ably after Pyrrhus left it-for awhile, any
way.
Now if some German woman, or some
French woman, whose son is being sacrificed
to maintain the despotism of this Hohenzol-
lern egomaniac, could rise over his head in
by-plane, and accurately drop bomb where
it would do the most good, the world would
owe an enormous debt of gratitude to that
woman.
1t is a curse to mankind, when one family
can reach point of power which enables one
member Of it to send million Germans to
their graves, to say nothing of the millions
of dead among the Austrians. Bohemians
Hungarians, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Rus

Charlotte Corday is venerated as heroine
because she stabbed Marat. to stop bloodshed
If Marat was responsible for every man,
woman, and child killed during the Reign Of
Terror, he would have had upon his hands
the blood of less than 1000 persons, many Of
whom were justly condemned for crimes.

The barons at Runnymede did not consider
personal liberty an ignoble squawk
The patriots whom Patrick Henry fired

The statesmen who risked the traitors

contemptuous estimate of personal liberty,
