We wondered dangerously who II
could be- but we didn't care if visitors
were never to be admitted. 1t wasn't com.

Oh, yes, Mr.. Hannibal Beyond
the Alps lies Italy, voice said We
knew that was not the password, but
we were helpless. We couldn't move or
speak and so he just opened the door and
came in. 1t was our boss, but we knew
he had no business there. He was smols.

fiftyCent cigars Although we couldn't
speak, we must have looked shocked.
Tut! TUT" said he, that's just what
yow need-a smoke" oh! we thought,
wouldn't that be fine? He took out
his big cigarcase and selected a fine,
fat, brown fellow. "Open your
mouth" We took it between our lips
and puffcd away. But there was no
taste to it; it seemed to dwindle like an
icicle. 1t seemed very like an icicle.
The nurse heard us putting and came
over and took It away from us. She
carried it over to the window and looked
at it closely. "Ah! hundred and two and

All the people have ever wanted

the P. r. 7, was a fair and square deal
It is not in the public interest for the
P. r. T. 10 be decrepit financially. The
splendid condition Of the company now is
therefore extremely gratifying. We re-
gard with little concern the request OF
the company that It be allowed to make
some additional charges in the event that
a fair trial OF the new complete system
shows a temporary charge for transfers
TO be necessary. We do not believe in
the frst place. that the additional charge
ever will be necessary; in the second place
If It is. the public will stlll be far better

CALLS WILSON A PLAGIARIsT

To the Editor of the EUentng Ledger:
Sir-President Wilson's Senate speech is
grandiloquent and eXalting, but, after all.
is il not an elaboration Of the principles
OF the World Peace League, of which
former President Taft is president?
To copy Mr.. Tafts idea and claim it as
original may be a Wilson method but il
is not fair, nor IS it manly,

There seems to be a general dis
position 10 regard the Governors ex-

ing at the thing in a big, broad way, we
are convinced that the charge was
legitimate one.

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.

lized Christian countries are relaxing
into 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 united ma
ton. With the great uprising in Ire
land and the recent overthrow Of the
Russian czarism and rule are but 81
