A GOOD THOUGHT WELL
EXPRESSED

A friend was calling upon former
Governor w. d. Hoard at Fort Atkin-
son the other day, and when he came
to take his leave, he gave the follow
ing as his parting wish:
MAY you live as long as you are
comfortable; beyond that life
ceases to be a blessing"
We had never taken that view of
life before and yet how often have
we all heard it said of some sufferer,
Death came as a relief

NAPOLEON'S OPINION OF THE
HOHENZOLLERNS

Napoleon Bonaparte, while on the
Island of st. Helena, wrote the fol
lowing brief note that is saturated
with the spirit Of prophecy:
81 made the mistake of my ca
reer, when I had the opportunity,
that l did not remove the Hohen-
zollerns from the throne of Prus-
sit. AS long as this house reigns
and until the red cap Of liberty is
erected in Germany, there will be
no peace in Europe"

the other parts of the Boxer indemnity
China has been unable to pay and the
total has run up to approximately a half

she has declared war on Germany and
repudiated Germany's portion
Now. China cannot pay for the reason
that the Big Business interests Of our

And the Band Played On.

Italian brass bands, heading the gal
liant infantry. swept across BalnsiZza
plateau, playing national airs.
The Austrians poured upon the
musicians asphyxiating gas shells. but
they kept right on playing and soon the
plateau was free Of the enemy.
We rise 90 ask Commander-n-C hief
Woodrow Wilson if he has given particu-
lar consideration 10 the employment of
American brass bands at the front.
IF italian musicians can make Austro-
Hungarians run. there's nothing on legs
that would stand before the average
American brass band
Maybe our band music would start the
unsteady kultured Germans when moth

Let Those Burning
Words of Bryan To
Disloyalists Sink In

In all America no man probably mates
war more sincerely and honestly than
William Jennings Bryan.
Whatever one may think of proprIety
in doing so, there Is little doubt he left
President Wilson's cabinet because he
thought he could more effectively work
for peace in private Life.
But Bryan is no pro-German.
He is not a disloyalist nor q traitor
When his country has decided upon
course Of action, Bryan, like tine loyal CIT
izen he is. salutes and obeys.
He is a good American like most ct
us
Recently, in his paper. Bryan wrote;
Before our nation enters war d Is
proper to discuss the wisdom ~ going
to war. but discussion IS closed when
congress acts.
After that no one should cloak attack
upon this government on aid the enemy
under the claim that he IS exercising
freedom Of speech.
"No sympathy will be wasted upon
those who have been arrested for unpa-
triotc utterances.
They abuse free speech and this APP
plies to attacks upon the allies rs Wei
as upon the United States.
Eve can no more allow our allies 70
be crushed than we can afford 70 be
crushed
1.-The defeat Of our allies would throw
the whole burden Of the war upon US.
I'VE must stand together and night i
thru.
There are only two sides to war
Every American must be on the side
Of the United States
This should be the attitude Of loyal
Americans.

ously inserted.
1t answers every senator like Varda

1t makes our duty clear 10 everyone
of us. There are but two sides TO this
war. the American and the German.
The English, French, Italians and Rus
SLAMS are with Us.
The Austrians, Bulgars and Turks side
with Germany
Any man in this country who is not

by refusing free access to spaces for
