A WORD TO OUR AGENTS.

The various agents for the By
stander do to some degree represent
us and it is absolutely necessary that
all of our agents try and live up to
our general rule and customs. First
please sign your names to each letter
that you send. Even this week we
have four good news letters come in
without the sign of any name signed
to the articles, We cannot publish
them. Then again avoid sending in
programs or names of local people at
the various parties, receptions, we'd
dings or long resolutions from some
society about the death of so and so.
Then again tell the news and news
only of respectable citizens, regard
less of their church, creed or society
that they belong to, and lastly try and
collect the subscription from those
who have not paid last year. Insist
upon them paying up last years dues.

THE WORLD IN TROUBLE.

It does seem that the so-called civil
liked Christian countries are relaxing
into a state of barbarism, with nearly
all of the European countries in a gi-
gantic bloody war and with other
countries in other continents are plan
ming on entering soon, namely China
has been persuaded by English inAu-
ence to join the allies and they have
done likewise with this country, for
we are in state Of war against Ger
many, with Japan waiting for an op-
portunity to enter that great carnage
of blood and death. Mexico, Spain,
Sweden and Norway may all soon be
drawn into that great death struggle,
and yet America with her great in
ternal strife and unrest among her
union labor and among the Negro
race cannot hope to have a united ma
ton. With the great uprising in Ire
land and the recent overthrow Of the
Russian czarism and rule are but 81
lent omens that may come in other
countries. ~. H.. s.... .. 4
