TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGOl

There are signs of prosperity and
business activity visible on every
hand in Princeton.
Joseph Wilbur, VIM. Finley and sew
eral other settlers from the north end
of the county are in town today.
The season is backward but the in
dications are that the farmers of this
vicinity will be blessed with an album
dant harvest. ,s.'
N. E. Jesmer's mansion is looming
up grandly, when completed it will be
one of the finest residences in the
state.
A. S. Bigelow has purchased the
lot north of the D. A. Galley house on
Washington avenue, and has COM
menced with the erection of house
thereon.
An Estes Brook friend wants US to
tell how the vote of Mile Laos coun-
ty will foot up in November. We
give it up. Ask DR.. Fish and Mr..

The Union believes in the rigid en-
forcement Of the cattle restraining
ordinance in the village. Cattle and
horses should not be permitted to run
at large within the village limits or
anywhere else for that matter. But
at the same time, when a farmers
horse or COW accidentally strays into
the village limits a little discretion
should be used. There is such a thing
as too strict enforcement of village
ordinances.
Editorials: Leave county option
severely alone, is the advise of the
Union to the republican leaders Of the
state. Leave that to the legislature.

Der Co. is at work plating out a

LAKE SH|PWRECKS
DUE TO CONSPIRACY

Washington, July 4.-Secret investi.
cation by government agents has dis.
closed existence of great conspiracy
to destroy or hinder shipping on the
Great Lakes and thereby delay or.
ganization of American war armies
and check the flow of food and NUM-
tons material from the Western
states to the Atlantic coast.
No conspirators have been captur.
ed, and the identity of none has been
made public, but it was learned that
the state, navy and justice depart.
ments are cooperating to bring the of.
tenders to punishment.
This plot, engineered by Germans,
assisted by sympathizing American
citizens, is believed to have been re.
sponsible for the succession of "acci.
dents" to lake shipping.

Observation-Disclosures.

Through the balance of July and
through August, union services will be
held in connection with the above
churches, alternating on each Sunday
between the two buildings. During
the vacation of Rev. Mr.. Geer this
month, the services will be conducted
by DR.. Peatfeld. Through the month
of August Bro. Geer will take charge.
Services will be held every Sunday,
both morning and evening. 1t is a
good thing to get together now and
again, for by such means we come to
appreciate one another better. The
Congregational people will most sin
cerely welcome the friends of the
Methodist church, who in turn will
gladly and heartily reciprocate.
Next Sunday services will be held
in the Methodist church as follows:
1890 a. m.-Morning worship.
Topic: 'The Reproduction Of the
First Century Christianity in the
Twentieth"
1900 noon-Bible schools will meet.
500 p.m.-Evening worship. Topic:
"Wireless Telegraphy and What It
Teaches" At this evening service DR..
Peatfeld will give very interesting
description of the operation of this
latest twentieth century wonder. Also
he will point out few important SER
ious lessons which it teaches to all
| who will hear.
Note-Both Sunday schools will
| meet as usual.
Everybody is earnestly invited to
| help make these services success.

IRE Cause CT Clash.
Washington, July 4. Controversy
in the senate over the food control bill
and it's prohibition feature reached
such an acute stage that formal steps
we're taken by administration leaders
to limit debate and force a final vote
this week by invoking, for the first
time the senate's new cloture rule.
Within half an hour many more
than the necessary sixteen senator's
signatures to a cloture motion we're
obtained.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge Of
the bill, announced later that he would
offer the motion and ask for a vote on
it Thursday.
It's adoption will require two.
thirds vote and thereafter will limit
each senator's time on. the bill and
all amendments to one hour.
Many senators say that until the
prohibition issue is settled the neces-
sary two-thirds vote for cloture can
not be obtained. Others point out,
however, that the vote on shutting
off debate at least will show up" on

should have had a truce and not
a peace. Tie time had come
when the institution of human
slavery had to perish utterly and
forever from the face of the
earth, and it is we'll that the
war went on till it was
seen that human blood would
never again be spilled over any
form of that question.
Today is like fashion we are
facing Germany. There is the
Hohenzollern dynasty mad with
the lust of conquest, and with
autocratic power handed down
from father to son, the people
being only pawns in the game of
war the Kaisers play. For gen.
erations Germany has stood pre-
eminent as the exponent of the
military system. Mirabeau said
more than century ago that
the chief industry of Prussia is
making war. "Of all the kings
of Prussia from 100 until now"
II was said last week "OnlV one
failed to wage an unjust war,
and that one lived only three
months after he was crowned. /"
This menace of a Prussianized
Germany has driven every other
nation to bigger navies and big
ger standing armies and heavier
taxation of the poor to support
such armies and navies. 1t had
to be so-and will have to be
$3.50 long as Germany is an
armed camp of expert soldiers
ready to spring wolf-like upon
whatever nation a war mao
Kaiser chooses to select as his
victim: Kaiser who dismisses
treaties as scraps of paper
when they stand in the way o.
his purpose and so cannot b.
trusted to keep the peace with
any nation.
While we are about it, let u
make an end forever of this sys
tenn, even as the Civil War mad
an end forever of human SLAYER.

Dangers of Premature Peace

Cd We are in the war to end
the system of war,
owe are in the war to end
the power of autocracy and set
up the rule Of the people.
81 We are in war which |
believe is going to results in
making the governments of the
earth more responsive to the
needs Of toiling masses than
they have ever been before.
Because | hate war and love
peace, | do not want to see a
premature peace. | do not want
to see a peace that will leave the
three great purposes just men
toned unfulfilled, to be battled
for in later wars. AS J. z,
Green says:
We all long for peace to come
but the most terrible thing that
could come to the world now
would be an inconclusive peace.
Five years more of war would be
better than peace tomorrow if
that peace left the world divided
into two hostile camps, each
preparing for another struggle. F"
No, let US settle these issues
while they are up for settlement.
We are warned against those
who cry Peace! Peacep when
there is no peace. The North
and the South might have patch
ed up a peace after Gettysburg.
The North might have agreed to
leave slavery in the South in
some restricted form if we would
agree to keep it out of other
sections or something of the kind
but if such peace had been
patched up, there would have
been another war to fight. We

1t is often said that there are
just two classes of people, pa
triots and traitors. This is liter
ally ard always true, but there
is a meaning attached to this
which refers to the war and
classes all people as traitors who
are not straight out and out for
war. This also is true with peo-
pie who know the facts and still
oppose the war. But there are a
great many people in this broard
free land who have never had an
opportunity to learn what the
war really means and why it
was necessary for this country to
90 to war with Germany. The
trouble is fundamental. We be-
lieve every man has right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Germany holds to
different idea, but let them
answer in their own words.

There it will be seen that Ger

foreign to American ideals. We
would care nothing for this were

they do not modest us?" The
trouble is they have already

Here are the facts:
