THE MERCANTILE CUCKOO

1

There is a bird called the cuckoo

which builds no nest of its own butlays its eggs in the nests of otherbirds to be hatched by them theysharing the benefits of the time careand labor of the other birds but con-

e¬

tributing nothing in returnIn every community there are hu ¬

man cuckoos men who reap all thebenefit and profit of the labor andforesight of other men and yet bearnone Of the burden and expenseMen who will not assist any publicenterprise but are the most clamor-

ous

¬

1 for the benefits it confers menwho will not spend a cent to adver-tise their town not even the line ofgoods they carry but who loudly

THE TYRANNY GF COWARDS

The worst of all tyranny is thetyranny of cowards said Tocquevine The most conspicuous livingexample of that Wise generation isNicholas II czar of all the RussiaThe Bourbons ver fools as Napleon said hut they were not lacking-in physical courage Nicholas seemsto be no less deficient in couragethan in knowledge of his people

How easy it would have been for areally brave ruler to deal with thesituation that developed in St IV-

tFrsburg yesterday No mob wasever less bloodthirsty than thatwhich assembled at the Winter Pal ¬

ace to petition for a redress of griev-ances

¬

None ever showed more con-

fidence¬

in its sovereign the individuality of whose person had beenguaranteed by its leaders UYe donot wish to do harm If he willonly listen to our grievances we aresure he will be just and mercifulThose were not the cries of assas¬

sinsAword from the czar himself

even his appearance before his peo ¬

plean uplifted handwould havesatisfied a majority that the LittleFather had heard their prayer andwould redress their wrongs

Instead hundreds of dead andwounded men and women are tieczars answer to the appeals of oppressed people With DOOOU Japan-ese hanging to the brown bears flankin Manchuria Nicholas could thinkof no hotter way of answering a pe-

tition¬

than to slaughter his subjectsNew York World

WAR

I

The question that must arise inevery mind says Mr Bryan is

Can war be really ncce arj i Mutt menfiht each other and kill each other in ordert3 etpblih justice Must the dtftmie o na-tion be forever determined by their wars

There is an ever increasing multi ¬

tude who look for the coming of theday when wars shall be no moreThis multitude will force the pulpits-to begin a warfare against war andwhen this is done with zeal fervor andpower the wholesale slaughter ofmen by their fellow men will cease

Wars would have long since ceasedif the followers of Christ were hisfollowers in deed as well as in name

and their silence was aspainful as it was embarrassing tothose who naturally expected theiraid In fact the representative LakeCity paper rave notice that it wouldpursue a policy of masterly neutralityduring the fray But the great trans-action
