Lafayette True Republican.

The republiCanism of Lafayette as
tonished two continents In his day and
set the chancellOries of Europe by the
ears. 1t abides still as an inspiration
to the world in these days of the
Battle for Liberty. The man repre-
scented in his youth the struggle for
the highest ideals of our country and
in his maturer years he became an en-
bodiment of the struggle against the
greed of the Hun. The hero of Brandy
wine, whose vision was prophetic, was
also the foe of Prussian militarism. AS
the prisoner of Olmutz" his spirit
was not broken when he came to us
after having suffered the indignities
and crueIties heaped upon him by the
Teuton. Were he living now he would
be as ardent against the HOhenzol-
lerns as he was against George III of
Hanover.

received his baptism of fire. He
received more than that, for one of his
legs was so badly wounded by a bullet
that he had to be carried to Bethle-
hem, where he lay for weeks, attended
tenderly by the MOravian sisters.
For time Lafayette was under Gen.
eral Sullivan, and he saw much hard
service. When the Rhode Island cam.
paign was drawing to n close and
D'Estaing's fleet and 1000 French
troops were withdrawn, it became evi.
dent to those who thought on the sub.
ject that the patriot army was in sad
quandary. 1t needed supplies and II
needed assistance in men, and it need.
ed the alliance of powerful nation.
1t was true that the badly clothed and
sadly supplied little struggling army
of the cOlonists could hold out for a
long time; but 1t was evident that
help was needed if peace was to be
signed that would guarantee their lib
erty.
Lafayette was one of those who saw
that the patriots must have help. He
had been absent from home and his
young wife for two years, and he asked
for leave of absence To visit France
Toward the end OF the year 1T7S he
returned home and congress, although

gratitude by ordering Franklin, then

r. Lafayette returned again, and this
time France sent over an army and,
what was more valuable, a fleet to co.
operate with it, and with these new
forces in the field against her the Brit
fsh began the final chapter of the war.
After the war Lafayette visited the
United States and was everywhere re.
ceived with welcoming hands.
Toward the evening Of his life the
great Frenchman was in need, having
lost his property and having been 9th
erwise deprived Of his patrimOny. 1t
was at this time that congress voted
him money and lands, which he sold for
100000, and at the same time invited
him to revisit the scene of his youth.

His ,,ur of the country lasted four.
teen months, during which period he
visited each of the then twenty-fOur
states, and in every town and city he
was the object of splendid welcome.
He died in France in 1884 and there
was general mourning and many trib-
utes to his memory in the United
States.
The present war has caused his name

DOING MEMS WORK
oSKALooSA GIRLS QUALIFY FOR
RAILWAY TELEGRAPHER

Two Oskaloosa girls Miss Mary
Blair, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. f.
M. Blair, of Second avenue west and
Miss Esther Fallberg daughter of
Chas. Fallberg, and a teacher in the
Oskaloosa schools, have entered into
the war work with commendable
spirit and step forward with their ser.
vices when the ranks Of their brothers
are thinned by the calls to the front.
In a spirit of fun, more than other.
wise the young ladies last season took
up the study of telegraphy when a
class was organized with the local Y,
NJ. c. A. They were good students and
soon found themselves deeply inter
ested in the work. They persevered in
the instruction and became adept
students, to the completion of the
course only a short time since.
The M. e. St L. management has
been short of competent telegraphers
along it's line. Misses Blair and Fall
berg received an offer from the rail
way and then took steps to qualify
for the work of supply telegraphers
They first went into the general dis
patching office to become familiar
with railway forms, the receipt OF
train orders, handling office routine
and other business connected with
station. Both ladies are said to be
quite expert at both sending and re
ceiving and their success is assured.
Their first work was at Ollie in the
southeast corner of Keokuk county
where they have been in charge o.
the station business several days.

Are You a Comnetitor2

Prof r. N. Carver, of Harvard Uni
versity, says: Anyone who, in these
days of impending doom, buys any
thing which he does not need for his
health, strength, or efficiency is hir-
ing some one to do something which
is unnecessary. He is hiring some
one to stay out of the essential in
dustries. He is competing with the
Government for materials and man
power which it needs to win the war
and preserve the liberties of man
kind"
