ON BILLS
ON BILLS

There are a great many bills in
this nation who are greatly beloved,
including Bill Taft, Bill Bryan, Bill
White and others of almost equal
size, both nationally and equator
tally.
There are also large number of
Bills which aren't lived at all, They
wear their last names first and in
.clude the We'll known and despised
Gas Bill, Grocer's Bill. Coal Bill
Overdue Bill and Millinery Bill. 1t
is of these Bills and their ilk that
We propose to speak
This sort of bill is a bigger nuis-
ance than the mosquito bill and is
much more serious. No screens or
smudges can keep it out OF the home.
IL cannot be settleo by slap of the
hand. Cold weather has no effect
upon II. II sneaks into happy
household by way or the mail-box:
or when the sleepy citizen has drawn
on a pair of window curtains and
has stumbled down stairs at a. m.
to answer the door bell, it is waiting.
in the hands of collector. to pounce
upon him and drain his pocketbook
dry.
Bills arrive on the first OF the
month in vast flocks and remain
persistently around. blocking off
pleasure in the most hopeless man
ner. Many a new oyercoat has been
pushed forward year by a hurley
ice bill. Many hat bill has oozed
oraftily into the house just in time
TO slaughter summer vacation; and
many a dream with a bright blue
automobile In It has been shattered
by the arrival of bill for last years
coal with hurry marks all over It.
Bills are remorse to the extrava-
giant man, bloodhounds to the unfor-
'unate man. nuisances to the pros
porous man, and boon companions to
the dead beat. a bill, next TO a
weed, is the quickest growing thing
In creation. You can start tiny
bill at department store aud when
II comes to visit you the next month
II will have tail like n comet.
\ brand new bill Is not Disagree
able TO have a round. but It's dispo-
sition sours very fast A month-old
bill is grieved when you meet It: a
two months old bill is surprised,
three months old bill is indignant
and four months old bill is a rag
ing lion. Some people can live hap
PLY with bills three years old. But
then other men live happily with
bearded women, indigestion and n
last years bath. There is no ac-
counting for tastes.
Bills are dangerous but not fatal
and can be easily rendered entirely
harmless. To dehorn a bill take a
sum OF money equal to the size Of
the bill and give II TO the proprietor
OF the latter. He viii then stamp
the bill on the face with the word
Paid" which renders It as harmless
as fly that has been stamped on
the face with flatlron.

***Once again, as in times past, the

In the name of our fair state who
organized one of the first, if not the
first regiment of volunteers in the
dark days Of sixty-one and sent as
many men to the front in proportion
to its population as any state in the
union, we can pledge the young man

The spirit of North Star loyalty that

eve, as citizens of Sank Centre,
Mimi, in mass meeting assembled, a
thousand strong, do pledge ourselves
to the Nations cause, even to the ex-
tent of our lives and fortunes.
eve pledge ourselves to do our duty
in whatever task the government may
call US. Whether it be the army and
navy, or to help in the cultivation of
the soil that none may suffer for the

eve offer this message to you that
justice may be preserved, that our
honor, rights and liberties shall not
die. That a greater and more power
full defense be organized to stand for
righteousness in the maintenance of
peace.

our government that we as loyal

fifty representatives, less than one
seventh of the membership voted for
the Kaiser and against the President
of the United States. **
There is no escape from the propo-
sition that had those recreant UNI
American representatives consulted
the Kaiser by cable and implicitly fol-
lowed his instructions, they could not
have voted in a way and manner more
pleasing to him. The question was
squarely between the President of the
United States and the Kaiser OF Ger
many and they chose the Kaiser.
A cursory examination of the consti-
tuencies of those national represen-
tatives who voted un-American, dis
closes the fact that large percentage
of them are of Teutonic birth or an
cestry. There is no doubt that these
votes were cast on the theory, Woe
fully mistaken theory, we believe, that
such action would secure their solid
support at the polls. They sold their
American birthright for mess of i'm
perialistic pottage, and took sup
positions, unwritten, self-lmaglned
promise for the future delivery of the
pottage.
Do you think the King of Kings
would have followed such a course?
You and l know what our Lord would
have done under the circumstances l
have mentioned. He would have
whelmed the malefactors with one ma
jestic glance of supernatural power;
would have lifted the stricken one to
his feet; transformed his travellers
staff into a sword of defense and sent
him on his way with the adnlonition
that if he was again jumped by thugs
to hack them into chicken feed.
There is a passage in the scriptures.
| don't know the chapter and verse,
but you can hunt it up and if you read
few other chapters and verses while
searching no damage will be done. 1t
reads as near as l can recall:
"Jesus went up to Jerusalem
and he found in the Temple those
that sold oxen, sheep and doves,
and the money changers sitting;
and when he>had made scourge
of small cords he DROVE them
all out of the Temple, the sheep
and the oxen, and POURED OUT
the money-changers' money and
OVERTHREW the tables"
The "Peace-at-any-price" party
void make this passage to read:
"Jesus went up TO Jerusalem
and he found in the Temple those
that sold oxen, sheep and doves,
and the money-changers sitting,
and he drew his cloak around him,
meekly dropped his eyes, folded
his hands and said unto them,
Gentlemen, your. conduct is high

This is Christian nation and is ad-
verse to war. They view the RUTHLESS
destruction of life and property with
horror, but it is NOT nation of pol
troons. Our attitude since the begin
ming has been the same as that of our
fathers in years gone by, when for
eign war threatened, they sang:
"Truly we do not want to fight,
But, by lingo, if you do,
We've got the men; we've got the
ships,
And we've got the money, too"
Uncle Sam is a christian; he has
been patient, divinely patient in this
controversy. The Kaiser .smote him
on one cheek with scourge of latter
ed treaties. With true christian spirit
he turned him the other and he Slam

our Uncle Samuel, "the Christian law
has been fulfilled and you are going to
