THE TWILIGHT OF THE KINGS.

r HE abdcaton of the king of Spain is only another
example of the fact that the power of kings past
One by they pass away either by abdcaton revou
ton institution that civilization has ougrown.
An editorial printed August q 1914, in the Chi
cago Tribune that stresses this thought This
editorial has been dug of the files during past week
since the passing of Alfonso and is being reprinted
far and wide. II seems by way of becoming newspaper
classic We take pleasure in reproducing it below:
THE TWILIGHT OF THE KINGS.
Before establishing hell earth the pietistic kings
mend their subjects God Seek the Lords sanction for the
devils work
And commend you to God" said the kaiser from
his balcony to the people in the street Go church and
kneel before God and pray for his help for gallant army
Pray that a farmer dragged from Saxon field shall
be speedier with bayonet thrust than wne-aker taken
from his vines in the Aube that Berlin lawyer shall be
steader with the rifle than Moscow merchant; that
machine gun manned by Heidelberg students shall not jam
and that one worked by Paris carpenters shall.
Pray that the Bavarian hop grower armed in quarrel
in which he has heart shall oumarch wheat grower
from Poava that Cossacks from the Don shall be lured
into barbed wire entanements and caught by masked guns
that nnkeeper from Salzburg shall blow the head off
baker from the Loire
Go to church and pray for help'-that the hell shall
be hotter in innocent Ardennes than in equally
Hessen that shall be hotter in innocent Kovno than
equally innocent Posen
And the petistc car commends his subjects to God
that they may have strength of quarrel they do
not understand that they may nct suffering than
they required endure and the Of Romanoff
be greater than the of Hohenzoler that may be
than the of Hapsburg that its territories shall
be wider and the territories of Hohenzoern and the
ritory of Hapsburg less.
The petistic emperor Of Austria commends his sub
ects God seek divine crush the peasants
of Serbia dragged from the wheat field when it ready
for the scythe and given to the scyhe themselves
This is think the last call of monarchy upon divinity
when Asmodeus walks in The kings worship Baal
and call it God but of the sacrifice will come think
resolution firmly taken to have wheat growers
and Of makers of miners and fishers
artisans and traders sailors and storekeepers offered up
with prayer to the Almighty in feudal slaughter armed
against each other without hate and without they
know, if they know would give penny which way
was determined
This is the twilight of the kings. Western Europe Of
the people may be caught this debacle never again
Eastern Europe of the kings win be and the name
of God shall not give grace hundred square miles Of
broken bodies
If Divinity enters here it with sword to deliver
the people from the sword
1t is the twilight OF kings The republic marches east
in Europe

What Prospectors Are Seeking.

SPOKANE.-When prospectors led
the vanguard of civilization into the

those Titles, and every Company is
fighting to get 'em. You take old

Now they are just waiting till they
can think up some title for that
and then it will go into Produc-

A few of the best that have
been turned in by the highest

"Devilment Galore Among the

.The Gangsters Birthplace as Far

So you can see that they are
right on the edge of getting some
thing that will combine all these
