mornin, in good faith, seems to
have been considered by some Of

We are now Informed that
there was not unusual exhibition
Of bitterness over the result Of the
trial, nor would the prisoner have
been in any jeopardy had he been
kept i'll the local Jail.
1t was not our attention or de
sire, to reflect upon the people Of
Tarboro, but the news came to us

The OBSESSION OF KAISER
ISM

f'eWpeople in this country can
understand the nature Of the
Prtlssian to distinguish those liv-
ing in the city Of Berlin from the
rest Of the German people, nor
does it seem possible fer Ameri-
cans to understand their cult
The reason for this is that Am
erica has been less contaminated
by agnOsticism and atheism than
any other Of the leading nations
Of the world, while Germany has
been saturated with false philos-
ophy for years, which has been
lnculcated into their nature by
the Universities and societies thaj
have prided themselves on their
culture.
One can hardly study the hist
sites and German Philosophical
teachers without realizine} that
Prussia Was saturated with a
false religion.
Prussia has been trying to a
bolish the true God as revealed in
His word, and to set up for itself
a purely German God. That eX-
plains in part the fall Of the peo-
pie from its high estate to a pro
position that is a derision and a
by-Word in all civilized lands.
Let us note for a moment the DO
sltion Of the Kaiser, and how he
expresses himself as being one
with God, and then note the eur
rent of hatred against ali other
nations. One living in peace anC

chants to give window space to the navy.
