How Ks6rs Smoke.

The natives of South Africa are fn- veterate smokers, but some of them in- dulge in the habit in a distinctly@pueer fashion. The natives of Hsrrtsmlth, in the Orange River Colony, smoke In the following novel manner: A t"pipe'' is made by thrusting two sticks into the ground so as to meet at an angle; when they are withdrawn two tunnels are left behind. A hollow reed is stuck in one hole and the tobacco placed in the other and lighted. Before beginning operations the native fills his mouth with water, dra wing in the smoke with a gurgling sound and blowing out the water and smoke through 8 second reed. It seems 8 mighty poor way of smoking to a white man, says writer in the Wide World Magazine, but the Kafirs are very fond of It.

The Serssant's Threat.

Answering for absent comrades dur ing roll call Is quite usual with sol dIers. Sergeants know themselves to be tricked in this fashion very often, but as detection of the culprits is al most impossible they have to content themselves with the use of a little threatening language toward their men. It was an Irish sergeant who recently delivered himself as follows when about to call the roll in Dublin bar racks:
 Now. mind ye, If ketch any of ye sayin' yer here when yer not here yez'll go over there" pointing to the guard room.-Atlanta Journal.

Let me add in passing that to
an overwhelming degree the
sons of the well-to-do have not
waited to be conscripted. They
have volunteered in masses-a
far greater percentage of them
than those in humber circum-
stances. That is merely as it
should be. Having greater ad-
vantages they have correspond

dents to take care of, they can
better afford to volunteer than
those less fortunately situated.
But the patriotic zeal of the
sons of the well-to-do in coming
forward to offer their lives to
the country does give a doubly
false and sickening sound to the
ranting of the agitator who
would arouse class hatred, who
calls this "a rich mans war and
a poor mans fight" when an

Congress has estimated tina,
the 2O% to 500 tax on the
American basis will produce ap.
proximately the same amount in
dollars and cents as the 500 tax
is calculated to produce in Eng.
land.
Our federal inheritance tax is
far higher than it is in England
or anywhere else, not to mention
our state inheritance taxes.
Of the total sum to be raised
by war taxation nearly four-ffths
is intended to come from the in
come and excess profit tax. Of
the remaining one-fifth the larp-
er portion is likewise contributed
by capital and business.
England has raised about 1870
of her own actual war ex-
penditures by taxation. France
and Germany much less. We are
about to raise by taxation ap-
proximately 1870 of our actual
war expenditures. (Applause.)
Much has been said about the
notwithstanding contention
that because our manhood has
been conscripted wealth also
must be conscripted. Now, of
course, there is not one of us
worthy of the name of a man
who would not willingly go to

wanted us to fight. It is not our
choice that our country does not

do not say all this to plead
for a reduction Of the taxation
On wealth, or even in order to
urge that no additional taxes be
imposed on wealth if need be.
There is no limit to the burden
upon income and profits which
in time of stress and strain
those must be willing to bear
who can afford to bear
it, except only that limit which
is imposed by the consideration
that taxation must not reach a
point where the business of the
country is seriously harmed, be-
cause that would harm every
element of the country, and it is
OF the utmost Importance,
especially in war time, that bust
ness be enabled to work to the
utmost of it's capacity, in order
not only to provide our govern
ment with the necessary ma
terial for warfare, but also to
make good as far as possible the
economic ravages of war.
The question of the individual
is not the one that counts. The
question is not what sacrifices
capital should and would be
willing to bear if called upon,
but what taxes it is fair, reason
able and, above all, TO THE
PUBLIC ADVANTAGE to i'm
pose on capital, seeing that there
is point at which the country's
economic equilibrium would be
thrown out of gear and at which
the incentive to use capital con-
structively and productivity and
to take those business risks
which are incident to all bust
ness activity. would be killed.
/ say to you on behalf of
capitalists that we are ready and
willing to be taxed in this emer-
gency to the very limit Of our
ability. But / want you to know
that capitalists are now being
taxed in America far more heavi-
ly than anywhere else in the
world. We are not complaining
about this, we are not whimper-
ing and whining and squealing.
We are bringing financial sacri-
fees gladly and proudly. but
we want you to know that we
are bringing them and not give
heed to the demagogue who
wants to make you believe that
we are escaping our share Of the
common burden. (Hearty APP
plause.)
Perhaps you will be more in
clined to believe in my dis
interestedness when say that
personally l have made up my
mind that | shall keep no income
for myself during the war. l
shall work as hard as l can and
make as much profit as can
honestly and legitimately, but
whatever there, remains to me Of
income after paying my own and
my family's living and house
hold expenses and taxes, will be
devoted to charitable purposes,
to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A.
and similar war relief under
takings as long as the war lasts.
Cheers.
l hope you will believe that
| am not saying this to gain APP
plause, but merely to convince
you that in what | am stating on
the subject of taxation l am
speaking without any personal
bias. Taxation must be fair and
wise and scientific and cannot be
laid in a haphAzard way or the
whole country will suffer. II

neither credence nor tolerance.
Prolonged applause.)
Neither has this war been
brought on by any desire upon
anyone's part in the government
or outside to gain anything what
soever Of material advantage to
this nation. We seek no reward
whatsoever-no territory, no in
demnity, no trade advantages.
If ever a nation entered a war
after having maintained infinite
forbearance in the face of grave
menace and dangers and the
most intolerable provocations,
and from motives as pure and
high as the great blue dome of
heaven, America is that nation.
{ Vociferous applause and
cheers.)
We seek no place in the sun,
to use the German chancellor's
term, except the Sun of Liberty,
which we do seek for ourselves
and all the world.
l hope l have answered the
question, What DID NOT bring
on the war;" Let us turn to the
question, What DID bring on
the war;"
The Germany of today is not
the Germany of old. It is not
the Germany which men now of
middle age and over knew in
their youth. It is not the Ger
many of the first Emperor Will
liam, a modest and God-fearing
gentleman. It is not the Germa-
ny, even, of Bismarck, man of
blood and iron tho he was, who
often warned the nation in his
old age against the very spirit
which, alas! came to have sway
over it, and against the very
war which that spirit unclaimed.
The Germany which brought
this war upon the world and at
whose deeds and doctrines the
nations of the earth stand aghast
started into definite being less
than thirty years ago. I speak
as one who has seen the spirit Of
the Prussian governing class at
work from close by. having at
its disposal and using to the
full practically every agency for
moulding the public mind.
| have watched it proceed with
relentless persistency and pro-
found cunning to instill into the
nation the demoniacal obsession
of powerworship and world do
minion, to modify and pervert
the mentality-indeed the very
fibre and moral substance of
the German people q people
which misled, corrupted and sys-
tematically poisoned by the Prus-
sian ruling caste. was, and de-
served to be, an honored member
OF the family of nations.
The difference in the degree
of guilt as between the German
people and their Prussian or
Prussianized rulers and leaders
for the monstrous crime Of this
war and the atrocious barbarism
of it's conduct is the difference
between the man who, acting un-
der the influence of q poisonous
drug, runs amuck in mad frenzy,
and the unspeakable malefactor
who administered that drug, we'll
knowing and fully intending the
| CHASTITY consequences which were
bound to follow.
Less than thirty years ago q
new course, was flamboyantly
proclaimed by those in authori-
ty and the term new course"
became the order Of the day.
That new course brought to Ger
many achievements in q mater
|ial sense, and stimulated the qua
lities Of efficiency, industry and
enterprise to q degree and in .
measure at which the whole
world stood in admiration and to
which there is no parallel in his
tory. Germany was conquering
the world hv r,earof,,l ,.ono<ra.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1918-01-17

In various other respects it set
models for the world to follow.
But for all these great and
glittering attainments and bene-
fits Prussianism asked it's price,
a fearful price, the soul of the
German people. And the price
was paid.
What induced Germany in
fateful moment to stake on the
dreadful card of war everything
it had already gained and every
thing which was bound to come
to it by the pursuit of the same
methods it had followed with
such amazing success for the part
thirty years? The answer is all
too plain. With the new course"
and from it and after it there
came a new and false God, new
prophets, a new philosophy, new
ethics, a new mode of life and
thought. There came an unholy
alliance between the "junkers'
and capitalists and teachers of
the nations youth. There came
a contempt for all the virtues
of peace and for all the old-fash-
Toned teachings of tolerance, for
bearance and respect for the
weak. There came a philosophy
that everything is permitted to
the strong, and that no limits are
set to the rights of those power
full enough to dictate their will.
There came greed and lust and
luxury and immortality and over
weening arrogance and irreligion.
There came a belief that nothing
counted in the world but success.
The old ideals and traditions
were thrown in the scrap-heap,
the noble sentiments Of the ia
theirs were smiled at with sneer-
ing indulgence, and what is
worse, there came a belief that
other nations thought and felt
and meant to act as the German
nation did. The evil which crept
into their own soul made them
see nothing but evil in others.
The poison which the Prussian-
lied ruling caste had instilled
into their hearts was eating
away what was highest and mob
lest in them and left them, FOR
the time being. the helpless VIC
tins Of a veritable mania Of ma
terialism and power-worship.
History affords no parallel to the
spiritual poisoning of a whole
people in the incredibly short
space of twenty-five years. Nor
would / believe that such !
dreadful phenomenon could take
place were it not for the evil
dence Of my own eyes and my
own ears.
It is the old story, as old a.
humanity itself. Satan took the
Prussian rulers Of Germany up =
high mountain and showed them
all the riches and power Of the
world. Showed them the great
countries and capitals Of the
world teeming with peaceful L.
Dor, London, Paris. Brussels. aye!
and New York. and told them:
Look at these. Use your power.
ruthlessly and they are yours.
And the Prussian rulers did not
say: Get thee behind me, s.
tan" but they said, Go ahead,
Satan, and we shall follow
thee. And follow him
they did, and executed his a.
horrent and bloody bidding. and
committed deeds which have
made the name and spirit Of
Prussianism an abomination in
the sight Of God and men. PRO
longed applause.)
There were many men in Ger
many who. before the war. raised
their warning voices against the
teaching and tendencies which,
from their very days in school,
were being impressed upon the
German people, and who warned
against the terrible danger which
they saw arising from that teach
