 FEET IN SHAFT

 The movie" thriller of body meet ing car in the downward flight was staged when the hoist was forty feet from the ground.

There is considerable excitement and in terest at Roosevelt over the big kill ing, and if Benn and Heath did not scare all the bear out of the country, there will probably be several more hides drying in the sunshine next week.

things proclaims the gospel that gov ernment has no conscience. And this doctrine can not live, or else Demo cracy must die! For the nations of the world must keep faith. There can be no living for us in a world where the State has no conscience, no reverence for the things of the spirit, no respect for international laws, no mercy for those who fall before it's Force. What an unorder- ed world! Anarchy! The anarchy of the rival wolf packs!
 We are fighting Germany because in this war Feudalism is making it's last stand against on-coming Democracy We see it now. This is a war against an old spirit, an ancient, outworn spirit. It is a war against Feudalism-the right of the castle on the hill to rule the village below. It is a war for Democracy the right of all to be their own mas ters. Let Germany be feudal if she will! But she must not spread her system over world that has out grown it. Feudalsm plus Science, thirteenth century plus twentieth this is the religion of the mistaken Germany that has linked itself with the Turk-that has, too, adopted the method of Mahomet. "The state has no conscience" "The state can do no wrong" With the spirit of the fanatic she believes this gospel and that it is her duty to spread it by force. With poison gas that makes living a hell, with submarines that sneak through the seas to Slyly mur- der roncombatants with dirigibles that lombard men and women while they sleep, with a perfected system of terrorization that the modern world first heard of when German troops entered China-German feudalism is making war upon mankind.
 Let this old spirit of evil have it's way and no man will live in America without paying toll to it, in manhood and in money. This spirit might de- mand Canada from defeated, navy less England, and then our dream of peace on the north would be at an end. We would live, as France has lived for forty years, in haunting terror.
 America speaks for the world in fighting Germany. Mark on a map those countries which are Germany's allies, and you will mark but four, running from the Baltic through Aus tlia and Bulgaria to Turkey. All the other nations, the whole globe around, are in arms against her or are unable to move. There is deep meaning in this. We fight with the world for an honest world, in which nations keep their word, for a world in which na- tions do not live by swagger or by threat, for a world in which men think of the ways in which they can conquer the common cruelties of na- ture instead of inventing more hor- rible cruelties to inflict upon the spirit and body of men, for world in which the ambition of the philosophy of a few shall not make miserable all man. kind, for world in which the man is held more precious than the machine, the system or the state.

NATURALIZATION BUSINESS e
 SHOWING AN INCREASE
Many Apply at Superior Court Office
 for Their First Papers.

Naturalization business is showing an increase in this city during the last few days. A number. of foreign CTS have applied for first papers at the office Of the superior court in this city this week.
 Aliens who have made application for their first citizenship papers could not be considered American citizens in event of war between the United States and any foreign nation. The naturalization laws of th0 country. would consider them alien enemies. although they may not be 90 in fHct The fact that they have legally1 de- clared their intention to become citi- sens will mean nothing to them. for they must be fully natura1lDed. =
