Something serious seems to be
taking place or about to take pl.ue
in internal politics in Germany. A
crown counsel has been held, the first
one since war was declared, and
they have suppressed a newspaper for
saying that the people and not one
man ought to have the right to de
cide the question of peace. The chan
cellor has declared that the govern
ment cannot accept the dictim of the
socialists that peace should be made
upon the principle of no annexations
and 110 indemnities. Signs that the
German people are becoming weary
of the war multiply, but the ruling
class, determined upon conquest,
stubbornly refuse to state what they
are holding on for other than to use
the old stereotyped phrase that her
enemies wish to wipe the fatherland
off the map. All demands for peace
and questions ot the war have he. n
an.-wered by the Pru-si.in autocrats
with the slogan. "Look at th- map."

Prof. Jackson Williams. Esq., the
man who won immortal fame by driv
ing the hogs out of Monroe, ha
jumped into the limelight once nioiv
.-inc. he made the claim the other
day that he had a way to stop th'
war. His plan is very simple. Sone
months ago, he avers, he received a
letter from the Kaiser which contain
ed the request that he secure htm a
nice, four acre farm, close in, for
his occupancy. The Trofessor claims
that he has located this place, which:
adjoins Col. T. B. Moore's farm tnj
Sandy Ridge. He now proposes to1
get the Kaiser over here at once;
and. of course, with the departure of
the Kaiser, the war will end. The
scheme is all right if the Kaiser will
come, and Col. Tom doesn't object to
having him for a neighbor, fays the
Professor.

what our own likes and dislikes sug
gest. We submit this thought for the
prayerful consideration of all of us
and without the least desire to
point the accusing finger at any one.
So, all good citizens should feel
that the ends of justice, regardless
of our ow n likes and dislikes and pre
judices and biases, have been con
vened by our conscientious represen
tatives. And feeling this, it is the
part of good citizenship to let the
matter rest.
