By REV. DIR. J. 5. MONTGOMERY,

Tomorrow our citizens shall behold the
triumph OF Americanism-d m-democracy I'm ex-
pression-the inauguration of our Pres
ident.
Every true President has no glory but
his duty; while every dictator has no duty
but his glory.
The hour is one of inspiration and one
that is vouch- to every true Ameri-
can citizen! Every one should feel how
strong he is, feel his self-respect arising,
as he sees his power and Importance re-
Elected in his Chief Executive
In the marching legions of Monday we
snail see the expression Of the Drawn and
brain which suggest the possible echoins
batteries upon a foe guilty of intrigue
against our government unparalleled in
our history. And maybe, IL America Is to
have a future, it will depend upon our
genius in patriotism. of all our people,
who know no sacrifice and no death too
great to protect us a nation.
Today it is the old against the new
the divine rights OF a monarch against
the divine rights of a man. Its military
monarchy versus popular democracy
Prussanism versus Americanism.
This is the question in the air and the
present duty is to bring II out OF the air
and lay 1t on the hearth-stone of every
patriotic heart and with perfect frank
ness, see what II portends.
War Is Soul Death.
War is a monstrous thing! 1t sheds
tears of iron. 1t opens demon gates and
floods the land with hate and revenge
until the darkness OF perdition is reflect
ed in their depths. Its deadly canker
touches firesides and industries and goes
to the very souls of our citizens and the
groans from human breasts form a vol
ume of sound like that which comes
from the soul of a sullen sea. God! spare
us from the unspeakable anguish and
death of war!
Yet there are some things even worse
than war. I would rather go to hell for
a while than to wear the flag of distress
in my face and the badge of a serf upon
my breast-with the wounded arteries OF
my home land torn open. and with a
dying heart futtering like wounded
bird! To see this land. the Providence
of the Almighty-the fruitage of our faith

LOYALTY MEET
IN Twin CITIES
Galaxy Of Noted Speakers Will
4 ppear at Northwestern
Gathering Nov. 16.17.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 8.-The
loyalty of Minnesota was given tangi-
BILE expression this week, when more
than ~one-half of the counties of the
state gave notice of participation in
the big Northwestern loyalty meet
ings to be held in St. Paul on Nov.
16 and in Minneapolis Nov. II.
The remaining districts of the state
are expected to fall in line within the
next few days and if assurances
given +. w. Murphy, of Wheaton.
Robert w. Hargadine, and Others,
active in the furtherance of the
movement count for anything, the
scheduled gathering will be the larg-
est ever held in the history of Minne-
sofa. Many speakers of national and
international note have accepted in
vitations to speak.
AS planned, the scheme of organiz-
ing Minnesota into one great loyalty
commonwealth involves the holding
OF precinct and county loyalty con-
ventions and the naming Of delegates
to central organization which will
meet in st. Paul and Minneapolis
on the dates named. This, however,
does not mean that the meet will be
for the benefit of favored few. In
stead, invitations to be present are
general and the arrangements as
mada by those in charge provide
for the reception and entertainment
of every person interested in the biz
loyalty movement.
Minnesota, perhaps, will never in
it's history, be host 20 as great a gall
axy Of celebrities and noted speakers
as will feature the big loyalty meet
inSs So far the list includes: David
S. Houston, Secretary Tumulty, Arch
bishop Glennon of st. Louis, NJ Ed
Guard de Billy, representative of the
French government in the United
States; John P. White, former presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers
Union; Clarence Darrow of Chicago,

bia university, Frank Sigel, of New
York, son Of General Siegel Of Civil

GREED WITHOUT LIMIT

The greediest and most heartless
human product in the worlds history,
with the possible exception of the
kaiser, is the National Coal Opera
tors Association Of America. The un-
considerable profiteering of this bunch
Of commercial pirates brought the
government into action. to keep the
nation from freezing to death. Prices
-were fixed for coal about double the
prices received by the operators three
years ago, preference was given to
coal shipments and share of coal
mine stock became half brother to
the government mint. All this with
out consideration Of the imperative
need OF the miners of more money to
pay war prices tor food, clothing and
coal. When the miners demanded a
share of the increase In coal price the
operators demanded that they be al
lowed to soak the consumer with the
increase and when this is not imme-
diately allowed they call the miners
unpatriotic and want conscription
of labor.
Conscription of labor!
In America!
Slavery, nothing else, is what these
operators want.
There can be but two ends to this
and all other class struggles. Either
the operators will succeed in estab-
fishing slavery or the government will
take over the mines and operate them
in the interest Of all the people.
And the sooner this is done the bet
ter for all.-Exchange.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The execu-
live committee Of the American
Union Against Militarism has sent a
telegram to President Wilson, urging
him to make the recent assault on
Herbert S. Bigelow, of Cincinnati, an
occasion to "speak the word which

the president the necessity of safe

TIPPING

N nee upon time greedy man
went early to a banquet, and
when he saw the table heaped
up with good things to eat he bribed
a waiter to let him get at it. This was
great success. When the other
guests arrived he was dead from
oyer-eatinet with smile on his face.
From this incident arose the habit
of tipping Tipping is an attempt to
get more than one foot in the trough.
Originally the Upper paid the waiter
to feed him, and neglect some other
chap. After that came an. era when
men paid walters to protect them
selves against the original tippers.
Now everyone tips to protect him.
self against the waiter. Some OF oar
first automobile owners were walters.
Tipping is very seldom a sign of
hoggishness now-it is. a sign of tim
idity. We tip walters, porters, bell
boys and bootblacks to purchase
their good opinion. Men who don't
care hang what their friends or
their country think of them would
walk home ten miles rather than EN-
dure the frown Of an untipped
waiter. They would refuse joyously
to contribute a dollar to- church
fair. but in the presence Of a check
boy at hotel they are humble and
anxious. II they do not tip the
check boy as much as the last fellow
did. he will think them stingy, and
what is life without the good opinion
Of q check boy?
In America the tip is hold-up.
but In Europe it is an institution, like
aristocracy and the tourist. It is
possible to go through Europe with
out tipping. Just as it is possible to
wade through twenty miles of black
berry bushes. but neither feat is
worth the effort. If one must refrain
from tipping In Europe, a good plan
is to hire stout young man and
then pose as his valet. While he is
refusing to tip and is taking the
consequences, you can pick up your
