Felt Sorry for the Books.

My nephew, Clifford, aged FIVE, was

amuse himself In the library while the
Women of the family amused them
selves in another part Of the house.
After an hour, in which no sound was
heard from the little boy, the women
realized he must be up to mischief.
They hurried to the library, and what
a sight met their gaze.
Clifford had painstakingly removed
every book from the cases and laid it
on the floor. After one glance at the
confusion, his aunt said: "What did
you do it for?" Poor books, so tired

An Infamous Conspiracy.

An infamous Conspiracy.
The German Governments
attempt to bring Mexico and
Japan into hostile alliance
against the United States is the
elimination Of an anti-AmeIi
can conspiracy in Mexico which
began before the war. German
intrigue gave aid and comfort
to Huerta throughout his con-
trove:sy with the Unietd States,
precisely as German munition
makers supplied him with guns
and ammunition. When the
deposed dictator was driven
from Mexico, he left with Ger
man money in his pockets.
When he came to the United
States from Spain, he came
with German money in his
pockets,
iiuerta was brought to this
country Ivy German agents to
involve, the United States in
further difficulties with Mexico
and tie the hands of the Ameli-
can Government during The
war. After Huerta's return.

World that "the United States
will be so busy with Mexico

have no time to bother about

Huerta's arrest and subse.
quent death in Jail did not check
the German plot to embroil the
United States with Mexico.
There is no definite proof that
Villas operations were financed
by German agents, but there
are excellent reasons for believ-
ing that German intrigue has
prayed a part III all the border
troubles that have menaced the
United States with another

CHAMBERLAIN BILL. - Do you
free men and women realize the
meaning of this bill? Do you know
that it is the most damnable bill that
was ever introduced into the con
gress of a free republic? Do you re-
aIize that if this bill should happen
to be enacted into law that it would
place into one mans hands Cthe
president) more executive power
than any ruler Of the dark ages ever
possessed? This bill is the very en-
bOdiment Of tyranny and slavery. I'm
der its provisions one lone individual
has the power to COnscript every boy
and man in these United States be-
tween the ages of 10 and % and
force them to go wherever he beck
Ons and submit to compulsory mill
tary training. After this process he
will then be thrown into the reserve
corps of the army and he has to re-
main there at the beck and call OF
this one individual Tor the govern
ment) for nine years longer. Do you
men and women get the meaning Of
this bill?
What do you think Of it? Are you
going to set idly by and let tory
ruled government put such an in
strument as this over your heads and
the heads of your children? If you
permit this bill to become a law.
sooner or later it is bound to destroy
this free repUpubliC. History shows
that this is invariably the first step
that all governments take to enslave
the masses. When military laws are
established it is but step until other
laws of enforcement are passed, and,
one by one, you lose your liberties,
and before you realize it you are
practically slave.

ALLEN STEVEN, POLYGAMIST.
If Allen Steven would take few
lessons from Mormon prOselyters he
would make a good deal better ar
gument than he has by dropping into
figures which are hard to manage
even by experts.
A Mormon or a Turk would know
better than to mix mathematics and
free love in that way. Mathematics
and progenitiveness are directly an
tagOnistic. A Mormon would not
call the people he seeks to convert
FOOLS He would not TidiCule their
religion or their bible. He would
discover an additional revelation
that would fit into the scheme of
prOmiscous lust and avoid the an
tagOnizing Of religious convictions.
If the 4OO,0O0,0O0 pale people are
all fools they cannot be scared into
adopting the Steven religion by
mathematics or by threats of extinc-
ton. If they are all fools, where did
Steven get his wisdom that reaches
way back into the darkness and re-
surrects the systems that lie under
buried nations?
If the whites are all fools, how did
wisdom happen to revive and mani
fest itself in mathematics in Chi
cago? The trouble with Steven is
that he does not realize the world is
moving forward instead of back
ward. Polygamy is dependent upon
human slavery. The two necessarily
go hand in hand. It takes the labor
of many slaves to support one DolYg-
