What are the grievances in congress
that are complained about? Have not
1O0,000,O00 people, given owe to bust
ness, resolved themselves into the most
powerful wal machine ever known,
with less friction, with less waste of
effort, with less delay, than was ever
known or ever dreamed of !? Have we
not taken ourselves by surprise and
amazed the world? There have been
mistakes, but how incidental to the
main accomplishment. There has been
waste, but how incidental to the things
done. There has been profiteering, but
how incidental to the total billions
wisely spent.-Des Moines Register.
Yes, 1 OO,OOo,oOO people, given over
to business, resolved themselves into
the most powerful war machine ever
known and the grievance at this time
in congress and out, among men who
refuse to be mere rubber stamps, is that
the president of the United States
would exclude the representatives of at
least half of these people, and the very
ones who have done the most in fur
nishing men and money, from partici-
patton in the government at Washing
ton. And that, too, right in the face of
the dawn of a new fellowship between
the political parties Of this country.
1--WE have taken ourselves by sur
prise and amazed the world" and it is
the biggest surprise of all to have the
chief executive of the nation, after hay
ing insisted that politics is adjourned,
%re-convene politics of the peanut vari-
ETY. on the eve of election in an attempt
to make il appear that men who have
steadily supported every war measure
must be turned out OF congress in Or
der not to give satisfaction to the Hun.
Here in Webster City the Freeman
Journal has been accused by Il few eX-
IRENE partisan democrats of being pro-
German, because it has criticised the
political bias of President Wilson. That
is a part of the program to silence
free expression of opinion. Republicans
must suffer in silence the aspersions
east upon the patriotism of their party
or be accused Of lack of loyalty. But
such methods are not going to seal the
lips of men who are willing to sacrifice
%pleasurablc sailing and invite criticism
for daring to have opinions not hand
picked to order.
In every country among the allies,
save alone in the United States, politics
has been buried. The governments of
Great Britain, France, Italy and the
others were ~rcorganizcd when the wal
broke and men of all parties called to
the most important positions. The men
in charge of those governments realized
this to be n war of all the people and
not merely the war of any particular
party That course should have been
followed here. Even though 1t were
not, the republican party in congress
has given every help it could to adj

When Mckinley asked for a bond
issue of 5000. OOO. 900 to defray the eX-
penses of the Spanish-American war
the democratic party in congress OPP
posed it vigorously, only six or eight OF
them voting for it. and these six or
eight were roundly censured by thel
party associates. The republicans in
this war have voted practically solid
for every one of the four bond issues
asked by the administration. In :
nearly every democratic state plat
form condemned the administrations
war policies. This year the republican
state platforms generally endorse war
plans and pledge every help to the
administration. Roosevelt, Lodge and
others were therefore justified in ask
ing a vote of confidence at the polls in
1898, because the democratic party III
congress and out had opposed the ad-
ministration's conduct. of the war.
No such condition exists today. More
over, there was no national peril in
volved in the Spanish-American war
and President Mckinley had not in
sisted that politics is adjourned"

CHAUTAUQUA
viii be Here During Week
Beginning June %

Through the enterprise of sever
al OF our leading citizens this COM
munity will have the opportunity
OF enjoying the highest class of
Chautauqua attractions this sum-
mer. From the week of June %
to II there will be a big double
program presented twice daily in
the big tent which will be brought
here especially for the purpose, as
there is not hall in town big
enough to hold the crowds which
will be attracted by this occasion.
Among the attractions which
are scheduled to appear here dur
ing Chautauqua week are the fol-
lowing: The Apollo Concert Co.,
Moana Vierra's Hawaiians, Met
ropolitan Artists, the famous New
York Marine Band, DIR. A. D.
Carpenter, Arthur w. Evans, Ell
lott A. Boyd, Henry Warren
Poor, Elsie Mae Gordon, Mary
Adel Hays, Beatrice E. Heskett.
Each of these present a separate
and complete program. The
Schubert Serenaders, Miosaku T.
Yamamoto, Mother Goose Festi-
val and others will also appear.
In addition to the famous New
York Marine Band, the Chautau-
qua people promise that five 9th
er master musical organizations
will contribute their talents to
this summer school of patriotism.
If these attractions were brought
here separately and each upon its
own responsibility the prices of
admission would be several times
the price of a season ticket as they
are now selling.
Some of our citizens and busi-

ness men had the courage and
foresight to be willing to assume
the financial responsibility of this
enterprise by guaranteeing the
sale of tickets to reach certain
sum. These men should be en-
couraged and supported in every
move of this kind, for we all ben
eft by their courage and the faith
which they have in their town.
Their object in promoting the
Chautauqua is for the good which
such educational enterprises will
be to the community. None of
the local hackers receive a cent
for their time or services in this
connection.
The time of year which has been
chosen is particularly suitable for
this locality, as the weather is
generally moderate during the
latter part of June and the farm
work is not pressing, so that near
ly every one can get away to take
in both the afternoon and evening
programs.
Only a limited number of sea-
son tickets will be sold, SO it would
be wise to place your order for
reservations early. Any business
house in Cottonwood will receive
your order and have the tickets
reserved for you. The prices for
season tickets are-adults $2.75,
high school students $1.65, other
children of school age $1.10.
These tickets admit you to twelve
high-class lectures and entertain
mentS such as would ordinarily
cost you 75c and $1.00 each.
Help to make the Chautauqua
a big success by ordering your
tickets now.
A number of business men met
Monday evening in the council
room and organized the Cotton
wood Chautauqua Association.
The following officers were elect
ed:
w. w. Flint, Chairman.
M. M. Belknap, Secretary.
j. V. Nash, Treasurer.
P. A. Gaul, Manager of Ticket
Sales.

THE LADIES REST ROOMS
IN CPENADA

The ladies of Grenada are to be
highly commended for their fore
thought in establishing what they
call THE LADIES REST ROOMS.
They have rented three rooms over
the Grenada Trust & Banking Com
paany and have placed therein chairs,
iouneer. cradle, bed, library table
books, pictures, etc, and altogetner
have made something credltable and
something they deserve much COM
mendation for. These rooms are
primarily fitted up for the country
ladies who come to Grenada to shop.
These rooms afford place for them
to rest, and prepare their toilet and
in case they bring their children.
place to leave them in charge OF a
nurse. There is competent colored
woman employed for this purpose
The good ladies from the country
should know of this provision Tor
them and take advantage of 1t. 1t
is for them and The Sentinel urges
that they use it. There is absolutely
no charge for anything. Every
thing is free. u, N.Y.,
Mrs. H. ]. Ray and Mrs. j. W. VIII

other ladies in Grenada, deserve the
thanks of the ladies from outside
Grenada for giving to them these eX-
ceeedingly pleasant and long needeo
rooms.

The Sentinel feels that special rec

at the telephone Office in Grenada for
the very prompt and the very. excel
lent service rendered on the night OF

hardly have done better. There was
an immense crowd at The Sentinel OF
flee to get the news and it was mat
ter of general comment that they so
readily got every connection. The
Editor of The Sentinel desires to es-
pecially commend the ladies at the
board that night. The truth is no
body but a woman is suited for tel
ephone operator. They have the pa
tience and the forbearance and are
oftentimes "fussed att without cause.

Grenada County
To Have Exhibit.
ONE DAY SET APART FOR LIVE
STOCK AND AGRICULTURAL
EXHIBIT AND SHOW.

A meeting was held in Grenada a
few days ago of the Grenada County
Fair Association, and the following
officers were elected:
President, w. P. Ferguson; Secre-
tary, T. E. Moody; General Manager,
H. C. Bell; Lady Manager, Miss Cow
sert; Executive Committee-Dr. w.
p. Ferguson, H. c. Bell and T. E.
Moody; Finance Committee. T.
Thomas and j. H. Brown; Arrange
ment Committee-W. D. Salmon, S.
T. Tatum and R. c Trusty; Publicity
Committee-O. F. Lawrence.
1t was determined to have one day
in October and October IL was tenta
lively agreed upon, as day for show
ing the live stock and agricultural ex-
hibits. The displays will doubtless
be on the public square, though it
may be necessary to pen some of the
stock at the Fair grounds. The Sen
tinel feels that it is needless to urge
the farmers and citizens generally the
need of cooperating in this work.
Only the great things of the world
are done by cooperation. Things are
moving these days with too great a
momentum for the farmer or anyone
else undertaking to travel alone.
There must be community effort. The
day will be sufficient for every farmer
in the county to show his best, wheth-
er it be potatoes, pumpkins, peas, tur-
nips, corn, wheat, oats or cotton.
Then there is the poultry and live
stock. The day can be made one of
unusual benefit. 1t is hoped that
there will be no tagging and that each
and everyone will at cnce make up
their minds to make Exhibit Day a
success

"DONT SEE THE BLOTS."

Whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely" says
the apostle Paul, ''think on these
things" Some one tells the story of
a father who, on coming home one
evening, tired and hungry and some
what dispirited, was approached by
his little daughter with her copy book
which she had just finished writing.
1t being her first, her young face
Redeemed with a beautiful and honest
flush, as he was sure of receiving
some word of praise and cheer for her
hard attempt
The pages were indeed neatly
written, and her father told her how
we'll pleased he was to see how care
full she had been. Presently coming
to one page which had two small blots
the little girl laid her hands upon
them and artlessly looking up into
her fathers face said: Papa. don't
see the blots." Of coures he did not,
but bent down and planted kiss on
the little forehead and felt thankful
for the lesson he had learned.
How precious it would be if, amid
all the nameless strifes and discords
which so fret and chafe US, we would
Just lay finger on thesullied page OF
human lives and not see the blots:

petty oppositions annoy and veX u.s.
