HITS THE BULLSEYE

The following article written by
'tThe Sharpshooter" in the Commercial
West, hits the nail squarely on tina head
in regard to many of the citizens of the
country, says the Cadott Sentinel:
"a good many things come too late.
Repentance in Jail is better than no re-
pentance; but it is considerably behind
schedule time. If time is not the es-
sence of piety, it is at least q mild
tincture of it. Waiting till it becomes
dangerous to be pro-German before
becomming a good American, is late
loyalty-too late to mature before
frost. The throat that was singing
''Die Watch am Rhine" last March is
hardly fit to lead the congregation in
america" today. Because pro-Ger-
man is now mum is not proof that he
is inoccous. Glum silence is better
than felonious yawp; but it is not to be
counted to man for loyalty. Glum ST.
lence is very good culture in which to
grow German germs
"These are times when men should
be tested out as to their loyalty. 1t is
your business and mine to know what
our neighbor is thinking about German
frightfulness; about the success of the
Allies; about the idea of German ov-
er-lordship in America; about a
"Deutchland uher Aller"
eff the neighbor does not speak out
of his own accord he should be made to
speak out. This is probably the most
caitical time in the war thus far! and
at this time Germany will be particu-
larly busy through her secret organic
ations in this country to poison the
public mind and the public's soup, and
the public's COW.
Germany stops at nothing snaky.
She has cast off all fear of God, man or
uevil; and has spit upon the whole
world A copperhead in 1868 was
Christian Endeavor society compared
with the typical German of today.
"Germania is Medusa with snaky
locks and petryfying looks. She re-
joices in her figure in the mirror. Like
the Loreli, she combs her snakes with
a golden comb, and sings a song while
doing It. No lunatic in padded cell
WAS ever more free from moral or civil
law. And when the mother of Deutsch
tum is in this deplorable state of mind
you must look out for the children.
Lunacy is hereditary"

Wearing Down the Kaiser

Many are familiar with the fable
that appeared in the old school readers
about the king who offered a fortune
and the hand of his daughtor to the
man who could tell story that would
last forever in the telling, with the
stipulation, however, that in case the
story came to an end, the person who
faild to complete it was to lose his head
by the sword.
A number of adventurous spirits lost
their heads in the attempt to keep a
serial going forever to amuse the &C.
centric monarch; but, one young man
finally won the fortune and the daugh-
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king with the story of the locust carry
ing off the corn. "And then another
locust came and carried off another
grain of corn," etc, etc, until the
king decided that he had had enough of
the story.
American fact. the whole world is
dealing with an eccentric" monarch
today. This monarch wants the i'm
ossible, and every one who refuses to
give it. to him must lose his head. There
is one way to deliver the people of the
world from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can be wornout, if he
cannot be crushed by one tremendous
blow. And the government at Wash,
ington has pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the kaiser.
Small savings, like the locusts, com
ing along from 10000, 900 American
citizens, will wear out the soul of the
war-mad monarch. American money
can wear out any army in the world,
because there is a great deal of Ameri'
can money, and there are many Ameri'
cans who have it.
Just mere matter of quarter a day
| from every wage Garner in the United
States would mean billions of dollars
every year to buy guns and food fol
soldiers and ships to carry them across
the Atlantic to defeat the sinister pur
pote of the kaiser and his crew.
A quarter, like the grain of corn ii
not much in itself, but millions of quar-
ters every day means victory for right
eousness and humanity.

dications that government controI OF

against utilities in various ways. ana
it Is held to be up to Washington TO
extend the process of rehabilitation
made necessary by inefficient political
regulations Of the past.
There seems to be no doubt what
ever in the minds Of financial interests
of the first magnitude that the new
railroad contract is fairly Satisfactory
as far as more than three-quarters OF
the carriers are concerned. The rest:
it is said, can be properly handed
separately. This conclusion Is reached
after a canvass Of Wall street opera
lions.
Excellent buying of the equipment.
copper and oil stocks is reported
from brokerage channels affiliated
with interests identified with these
groups. Higher prices are being pre-
dicted in the next few weeks.-Ftnan-
cial News Bureau.
While there may be little irregu-
larity in the stock market today. we
believe buying opportunities should
not be neglected. and think standard
rails ought to be favored. Low-priced
railroad issues continue to reflect GOOD
absorption. Railroad equipme
are bought with the idea that they
will benefit materially with the rail-
road contract disposed Of. Buying or
ders are noted under steels. Coppere
are expected to work higher, mooer-
ately next week.
Shorts continue to try for reactions
in the motor groups.-Chiids.
