GERMANY has bitter hate for
America. Why? Because every
governmental method we hold as es-
sentiai to the welfare OF humanity is
antagonistlc to her assumption Of
"divine authority" because We hold
that no n man is born to lord it over
his fellow beings; that the life of the
humblest citizen is az sacred as that
OF king, emperor or czar. For fifty
years the Prussian Junkers have been
impressing it upon their subjects that
they were objects Of hatred at our
hands. A more damnable lie was never
put forth. Until aroused by the mur-
dering aggressions of tho Kaiser and
his court no ILL., feeling toward the
German people was known to us. The
hatred wa wholly upon their side,
bred and tostered by their lying over
loads, who have long understood the
menace to tyranny and oppression en-
bodied i'll a government of, by and for
the people. No Lords annointedn
goes with us, and Jul example is a
constant demonstration OF the divinity
OF all non No need to ask why the
Prussian autocrat has plunged the
world into the bloodiest, cruelest wal
civiliz alton has ever known. 1t will
decide whether the future shall be
bright with promise, or humanity re-
trograde to the da rkness of the Mid
die Ages.

SETTING OF HADES
WITH HEAT MISSING
Salamanders Spat Lurid Flames in Hol-
stein -Friesian Building, but Piping
Was Frosty.

A fliekering lantern flashing here and
there, the voices of anxious searchers.
to the accompaniment of an occasional
clanking pipe, last night lent to the Hol-
stein -Friesian building all the weird
mystery of the House of Usher. Ordi-
narily only the light in the watchman s
shack is discernable, the battlements of
the structure looming up solemnly; new
er uncannily. But last night it was
different. Salamanders spat lurid flames
as from the throats of Vulcan's fur
naces, only to sputter and fail; figures
struggled with the steam piping as
fruitlessly as ever the poor sinner
rolled the stone up the hill to have it
come tumbling down again. Soft words
were missing. In fact, it had all the
setting of Hades, with one factor miss
ing-heat.
HSay, Joe, = said one of the figures,
addressing party with the rotund pro-
portions of j. i. Rinfert, sswhere does
this pipe go to-"
Il don t know, Ross replied the
other, but from the feel of it | should
say the ice box
They fumbled around further, and by
morning a film of dewy mist covered
the piping, giving tne interior very
much the appearance of a cold storage
plant.
Mr.. Wiley, superintendent of the
postoffice job, who chaneed to visit the
the job last night, explained awav
the mystery. Mr.. Ross, risible by nature.
must have played a practical Joke
on his plumber, for the plumber went
on strike (or quit), leaving further
operations to Mr.. Ross. But Mr.. Ross.
