TWO HOUSATONICS

ed a severance of diplomatic relations
between the government of the United
States and the imperial government
of Germany. is not the first Housa.
tonic that was sunk by submarine.
The Housatonic. federal gunboat.
was sunk by a Confederate submarine
off Charleston harbor during our civil
war
1t is true this submarine was a
crude affair but it did it's work, and
led to the destructive modern inven-
ton.
A very interesting account of this
affair was printed not long since in
the Confederate Veteran and was re-
printed in this paper.
In sinking. the suction of the Hous-
atomic drew the Confederate sub,
marine down with it, and in after
years when the two boats were raised,
they were locked in each others en-

TO TAX CATS OR NOT

We do not know whether Governor
Cats in his message to the legisla-
ture which he is now preparing Will
recommend placing a tax on cats or
not. We do not know if it would be-
an entirely appropriate thing for him
to do, but such a bill has been intro
duced in the legislature of New York
state.
Ex-President Roosevelt says that
there are at least a million an half
cats in New York state and 35 cent
license will bring into the state treas
ury s425,OOO.
The bill is recommended by Com
missioner Pratt. He reasons as fol
lows:
The cat that kills the bird that
kills the insect that destroys produce
and fruit ought to be killed to save
the produce and fruit.
We hope that Governor Cats will
recommend the placing a license on
all cats.

brace and the bones of the crews were
mingled together
The fact is clearly established that
the credit of the frst iron-clad and
the first submarine belongs to the
Confederate States and the proof has
been established that the Confeder-
ates first resorted to the trench sys-
tenn of warfare.
The south also furnished the presi-
dents for both sections, and in the
pI e2ent crisis a southern man is at
the wheel directing the ship of
state, and if the worst comes to
the worst the south may be relied
on to do her full share of the fighting.

the government for the manufacture
of munitions of war without one
cents worth of profit.
This is the American spirit.

saws that a pacifist is something ike
cat Gentle and docile when its fur
is rubbed in the right direction, but
when rubbed the wrong way and fore
ed into a corner, it is the Outright

Henry Ford feels that Germany ""'
forced our peaceful nation into cor
ner. and it behooves everyone TO rush
to the nations rescue, and like the
Children of Israel of old. lay every
thing on the altar for a defensive
struggle.
If war comes. following Henry
