"The Son of His Father

The sons bills for wine, women and
song total 100000 The father, a
rich railroad president. challenges his
son to make that much in a year. with
a stake of the same amount. But the
son. to his fathers surprise, will ac-
cept no more than $4,000 as a stake
and claims he will make 100000 in
six months.
Fate drops the son at a little town
in Montana, the center of land boom.
The location of the station of his
fathers railroad will make a fortune
for the cattlemen or the spectators.
The fathers agent, who has the final
say in the matter, wants to make
some money on the side and decides
against the cattlemen. But the son.
by some clever manipulations, gets
his father to come to the western
town and then, keeping him a captive
for three weeks, sees that the station
is built where he wants and thus
makes his 100000. Father, of course,
is rather pleased that his son got the
best of him. Incidentally the son
wins a wife.
The story, THE Son of His Father"
is most Interestingly told by Ridgwell
Cullum. His depletion of the new
Western country and its characters is
especially good.

RESOLVED, THAT

The American people have entered
the war reluctantly. not to further
their own interests, save in defending
them. They face its hateful necessity
with courage born not of mere ex-
element, but of determination. We
are hereby resolved that:
America seeks no gain, territorial
or otherwise;
The American people do not hate
any one and do not intend to hate any
one;
This country will not agree with
the Entente upon a postbellum tariff
war;
A war for democracy should give
Ireland Home Rule;
We will not share or assist in any
partition of nations among the DOW
ers;
We are fighting for self rule for all
people and the rights of small ma
tions;
America will not further any Euro
pean program other than that of the
preservation of the rights of nations
in all-embracing league of peace"
