dore Roosevelt, who is convalescing in
a hospital here, said he was perfectly

an explanation of who was responsible
for this disappointment. The Socialist
Vorwaerts takes the same line, and
says:

peace wherever possible without annex

Americans! Go Through!
BY Jos. r. Nugent.

The land we owe allegiance to has
ever aimed to act
With justice t'ward all other lands,
and fairly kept the pact
Relating to the rights of all to freely
use the seas,
And trade thereon regardless of des-
pOtic made DEGREES.
We have no selfish ends to serve, nor
have we aught to gain;
But Liberty for all the world, the
sincere hope and aim
Of all free human beings-who
would help Humanity
In this our land, America true
Democracy!
Our country seeks no nations hate;
nor love lest it implies
A true respect for honor, as no other
satisfies
The self-respect of any man-with
red blood in his veins
Who'd sacrifice his life for rights the
lawlesS foe disclaims.
And when a solemn pact with her is
nullified to kill,
Or MAIN her men and womankind.
her children, too, at will,
Our country will ayenge them all in
any way obtained
In concord with the rules of war, the
human rules ordained.
Attention.! Americans. Go through
with flag unfurl'd,
And put the fear of God into the
menace to the world
That struck our babes and women
down, the faithless, ruthless
Hun,
Who must be fought for justice sake:
till victory is won!

Osceola Produce House Burns.

Osceola was visited by another
bad fire Wednesday afternoon about
four O'Clock when the building of
the Osceola Produce Company was
discovered to be on fire. The flames
broke out on the roof and spread
very. rapidly The wind being in the
southeast is probably the only thing
that saved the nearby business
houses.
The members of the fire depart
ment and citizens did fine work and
saved adjoining buildings.
The produce company's loss is cs-
timated to be about S6,000.OO with
insurance to the amount Of $4,000.
There were about 600 cases of eggs
stored in the building.
The flames threatened the Beech

Hawkeye Lumber Company and the
Democrat office. Paul Beechen and
