Eternal ViglIance Price of Liberty.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. Feb. ITO
the Editor of The Bee; To conclude this
free press debate on my part, which has
served its purpose. I wish to answer
this individual, who signs his name Mike
O'Connor of Greeley, Neb. Yes, 1 am
the fellow who roasted the travelling men
and stand back of II today. That must
have hit you pretty hard to stick with
you till now. You are no doubt one
of the gang that r. L. Metcafe Is try
ing to accommodate by muszling the
press ON religious discussion. All have
70 say about you is that you need the
education instead Of me-" that's not
the point. however. The question Is.
what right has Metcalfe or any other
man. to alter in any way our constitu-
ton, which guarantees all equal privi-
leges. II any religion cannot stand the
search light Of truth without putting up
a howl it Is the wrong brand.
The sum and substance Of this whole
affair is that whenever you find a man
or body of men trying to abridge the
constitution OF this nation. you had
better keep your eagle eyes on them.
Our constitution is like chain, no
stronger than the weakest link, SO II
we should stand back and permit some
rascal TO break one it's sure the others
would not hold. The sooner the people
who believe in one God. Our Father.
one flag. one country. the good old
U. s. A., get their eyes open. the happier
we will be. Eternal vigilance is the
price OF liberty. no truer words ever
spoken. so watch out, what and who you
send to Washington ID. c., TO guard our
constitution; don't sond anyone there who
has two masters and two countries to
serve or any OF their pets.

GALE CAUSES
 MUCH DAMAGE
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $2bO, O,OOO.O .OO
Mobile and Pensacola Suffer Large Amount of Damage from Gale Which Swept the Gulf Coast on Wednesday.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 20.-Late reports from all the Gulf coast tell of the terrific force of the gale which prevailed Wednesday and stories of the destruction of lives and property are coming in from all directions as communication is slowly restored.
 In Mobile, Alabama, the wind wrecked a number of buildings and damaged a number of others, and at Pensacola. Florida, a similar state prevailed. It is estimated that the damage occasioned by the gale in the two towns will exceed a quarter of & million dollars damage. Several lives were lost and 1t is anticipated when the complete returns are in the list will be materially increased.
 The number of hurricanes which have swept the Gulf coast this year is puzzling the weather bureau. Six hurricanes have piled the waters oi the Gulf into the coast towns and done an immense amount of damage, and the annual equinoctial gale has not yet arrived. One heavy storm an nually is the usual record, and the unusual number and severity of the gales this season cannot yet account ed for.
