WHO ARE THE LUNATICS
A Topiy Turvey World Whr Madnen ii
CftlUd Bcaioii and Lunatic ar
- ' the Balers
"If God wishes to punish a people
he deprives their ruler of their com
mon sense." -
According to that German proverb
God is just now punishing every so
called civilized nation, as the world
looks at present like aa enormous
mad-house, where the greatest mau
iacs are chosen as rulers, who are
torturing and killing men by the thou
sands, sparing neither helpless old
people nor innocent children. Killing
men is considered to be the main and
highest moral goal of men, and raising
and drilling young men for mass mur
der is the main goal of the govern
ment and it is done on scientific prin
ciples at enormous expense. About
three-fourths of the resources of ev
ery nation are squandered for that
purpose. Before the German army de
parted for China, Emperor William
gave order to them: "Give no pardm,
make no prisoners, use your weapons
so that a thousand years hence no
Chinaman dares to look askance at a
German."
This barbaric, beastly order and
principle was adopted by our executive
by putting our army under the direct
orders of a German commander i-i
Chief, and as we have found out from
the newspapers, which even were for
bidden to tell the whole truth, that
'order was literally executed. Peo
ples of whole towns and villages were
with a diabolic lust, tortured to death
and killed, fields and forests destroy
ed and wasted, for getting a hold on
the' valuable things of that people.
The wars in the Transvaal and the
Philippine islands are carried on the
same principle. i
H. L. Squire, secretary of the United
States legation in Pekin, started for
home with a collection of China's art
filling several nilway cars, consisting
largely of porcelain, bronze, and carv
ings. Watch what our pious Christian
missionaries who are preaching the
gospel of universal brotherhood and
in all men embracing love to the
heathens in China under protection
of our soldiers, have robbed out of
the Imperial and other palaces of Chi
na. That is our share of j Chinese
booty and that act degrades us to an
international freebooter nation.
Npw to say nothing about right and
the demoralizing effect which! this in
ternational free booting must create
as diplomats never care for jright or
moral principles they act Only ac
cording to interests therefore I ask
from the. economic standpoint, from
the standpoint of dollars and cents,
if an equivalent for our killed and
crippled sons and the millions of dol
lars of debts with which this; country
was burdened for that war arid which
millions must be squeezed out of the
sweat of the laboring people; of this
country? !
We are destroying homes and f am
ines, the solid foundations on which
society rests, instead of keepipg our
mothers at home to educate and bless
their beloved children, to decorate and
make a paradise of home and instead
of sending our children to school we
are sending mothers and children into
sweat shops and factories, where they
have to work for a beggars mite upon
which they can neither live) nor die.
We are exhausting and wasting our
natural resources, fields, forests, mines
and torturing and crippling bur chil
dren, even the child in the mother's
womb for producing enormous super
fluities of everything that Is necessary
for the sustenance and comfort of the
human race, but we let thbse who
produced that wealth starve and freeze
to death, and then we begin -jvar with
other , nations to urge them to buy
our superfluities, although thy neith
er need nor do they wish to have them.
In such wars our young men are killed
by the thousands or crippled,! infected
with leprosy and other disgusting dis
eases and the rest of the people are
burdened with enormous debts, where
by not only the living, but Seven the
yet unborn coming generations are
f attered and made tributary to our
bloated bond holders.
All that is done that some non-pno-duslng,
insatiable rulers, prieiits, Pols,

The Negro in Florida i
The Houston (Tex.) Chronicle says
that in proportion to wealth and pop
ulation Texas is doing more in an edu
cational way for uplifting the negro
and fitting him for the duties of citi
zenship than is being done by any state
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
The Chronicle may be correct, but
we doubt it. Very few southern states
have neglected the negro's education
sir ee emancipated from slavery. Flor
ida's part has been a most conspic
uous one in this respect. When in
the depths of poverty, the result of a
long and devastating war anl tbe
plundering of imported politicians, she
ai onct pet to work to pr idi for edu
cating ?fce negro race ard during )
of thes-j years has steadi'.y maintained
the free fiiool system, and the negro's
chances.-- for education in 1 lorida are
the rqual of the whites -ne negro
also has his own colleges and semin
aries in this state. Florida has done
her full share in this respect, but it
has not been appreciated by the ben
eficiaries to the extent it deserved.
In "act, the negro has all of the
lights of the white man in Florida
both in courts and in business, and
the best of all, we jog along without
clashing. Today in this city can be
seen hundreds of negroes at work on
buildings with white men anl at the
same wages. Many of the negroes are
contractors for large buildings. Flor
ida, is not only the equal of Texas in
an educational point of view, but her
superior in providing nieano for the
support of the negro.

"HUMAN FLY'S" NEW JOB
Will Erect Flagstaff on Tower
of National Postoffice.
WOBLD'S OHAMPIOU CLIMBEB.
I ovtherland Does If ot Ue B.opea or
Scaffolds, bat Walks Up on the Out
side Wall Contemplates Walkl nor
Up the ' Washington Monument,
tome of Bli Festi.
F. S. Southerland, the champion
climber of the world, who is known
throughout the United States and in
Europe as the "Human Fly," was In
consultation recently with Chief Clerk
Taylor of the postoffice department at
Washington and a number . of other
government officials. For some time
the question has been seriously consid
ered of erecting a fifty foot flagstaff
on the main tower of the postoffice
building and transferring to this pole
the time ball that now falls at exactly
noon each day from the staff on the
state, war and navy building, announc
ing to the country the official time by
the meridian at Washington. The ball
at the : war department staff can be
seen only' a comparatively short dis
tance away, as the structure is not par
ticularly high and has no central tower.
Were the ball erected on the postoffice
building, however, it would be over
400 feet from the ground and,, being
centrally located, could be seen from
all parts of the city and even from the
Soldiers' Home heights on the north
and the "basin" or harbor of the Po
tomac on the south.
The erection of the staff and ball,
however, appeared to be a very diffi
cult job, and' those steeple climbers
who were consulted on the subject ex
pressed the opinion , that it would be
necessary to erect a scaffolding from
the base of the tower toIts apex, as
the sides of the tower rise almost per
. pendicularly for seventy-five or a hun
dred feet. The project had nearly been
abandoned because of the vast amount
of work and trouble entailed and the
comparative unimportance of the trans
fer of the time ball when one of the offi
cials heard of Southerland and sent for
him to ask his opinion as to the practi
cability of the move, says the New
York Sun. He laughed when told what
was desired.
"Easy," he said. "Why, it's not
worth while talking about. Tell me
what you want me to do and when you
want me to do It."
Mr. Taylor asked the "Human Fly"
whether he intended to use a scaffold
ing or ropes and if ropes how he in
tended to get them to the top of the
tower. Southerland, who is built like a
gladiator, laughed in a deep chested
basso and waved his hand scornfully.
"Ropes, scaffolds I don't use them.
They are for amateurs. I walk up.
That Is where I got the name of the
Human Fly.' "
"But, my dear man," said the chief
clerk despairingly, "you might as well
try to walk up the wall of this room."
"That's easy, too," said the "Human
Fly."
He quickly opened a valise, donned
an odd looking pair of shoes and a still
more peculiar looking pair of gloves
and, stepping to a side of the room
clear of furniture, calmly walked up
the wall until his head touched the ceil
ing with as much ease and facility as
if he were climbing a ladder. When he
came down and had removed his suc
tion shoes and gloves, he waa asked no
more questions as to how he proposed
to get the slender shaft and time ball
on the top of the tower. The chief clerk
will lay the matter of the erection of
the pole and ball before tha postmaster
general, and Southerland will probably
do his sensational climb some time in
the near future.
While in Washington Southerland
contemplates asking the proper author
ities for permission to walk up the
Washington monument on the outside.
As the shaft is 555 feet high and its
sides are perpendicular Southerland
was laughed at when he mentioned the
matter. He promptly resented the im
plied disbelief and offered to blindfold
Mr. Dawson, the postmaster general's
private secretary, equip him with the
suction shoes and gloves and send him
up outside of the Washington monu
ment for a hundred feet or so.
"You could not climb to the top," he
said, "because you are not strong
enough and are not used to the work.
And I Would have to blindfold you or
you'd get dizzy. But you couldn't fall
If you tried."
Mr. Dawson, however, has declined
the honor.
The "Human Fly" is perhaps as well
if not better known in Europe than in
the United States. It was he who put
up the pole and halyards and raised the
American flag on the Eiffel tower in
Paris, worked on the spires of the
cathedral in Cologne, Germany, and
climbed up the outside of the chemical
stack in Glasgow, Scotland, one of the
tallest chimneys in the world. He has
climbed the steeples of St. Patrick's
cathedral and Trinity church In New
York and St. Paul's in London, climbed
the national liberty pole on the High
lands "of Navesink, N. J.; climbed the
staff on The World building, New
York: the city hall of Philadelphia, the
courthouse towers at San Bernardino
and Los Angeles, Cal.; Siegel-Cooper's
poles and stacks in Chicago, etc.
Southerland said that he had had
many falls and that once he dropped
a distance of over 200 feet.
"How long did that lay you up?"
asked Mr. Taylor.
"Oh, I was out in a couple of days,"
said the "Human Fly."
Southerland's business card, which
gives his permanent address In care of
L. Z. Letter, Chicago, contains the sig
nificant statement, "I assume all risks."

TRUST PROSPERITY
But Where la tbe Share That Working
Men Should Hare In It The Rich pros
per, but How About the Poor
They tell us that prosperity is with
us, kind, munificent, bountifu Ipros
perity the kind that makes you pay
twice as much for what you eat, and
wear and use, the kind that gives you
the blessed privilege of working every
day in the year for the same old
wages, notwithstanding the ' increased
price of life's necessities, the kind that
makes the poor man wonder how he is
going to keep himself and family out.
of the poorhouse. It is the same old
kind that has been dished up by the
same old party for a score of years.
How inspiring it is to stop our inces
sant toil long enough to yell - that
magic word, "prosperity!" It seems
to be natural yet for a number of the
American people to indulge in illus
ions. They are apt to shut their eyes
against painful truth and listen to
the song of the siren, while she sapa
them of their substance. They are
disposed to be of those who having
eyes, see not, and having ears, hear
not the things that most nearly con
cerns their temporal welfare.
Experience is said to be a good teach
er, and three more years of schooling
in addition to the last five will prob
ably be sufficient to teach us our les
son. There is no better way of judg
ing the future than by the past, and
judging by the past what can be ex
pected of the republican party as long
as it continues in the power of the
trusts. Nothing but the same old
kind of prosperity described . above,
the kind that when the poor man looks
upon it makes him more exasperated
than a man Who has just negotiated
the purchase of a gold brick. If that is
the only variety of prosperity they
have to offer the people "would be
much better off without it.
" The republican party is composed
of a lot of "infant industries." It
has to have a high tariff to protect
them, and special legislation to bring
them prosperity. It is the tariff and
legislation that brings prosperity such
as described ebove to the people. It
would be a fine thing if tl.ey would
pass a a.w limiting this particular
brand of prosperity to thosj vfho vote
foir.it. ,
We know there is prosperity in the
country of the right sort and lot of it.
Likewise there is a good deal of water
in the fiver, but it is not of much use

If the laws of rPvitatlon coii'd ue

desert Sahara, when they feel like it,
so that once in a very great while
the people feel a touch of real pros
perity and great is their joy. But
the people "have become so used to
th present drv condition of things and
so used to the cry of prosperity from
away off somewhere in the Atlantic
that thev are Drone to believe
they are in the midst of it, and that the
hot, dry sands are producing aoua
dantly. Sometime, away off in the
hazy future, probably when the cow3
lay eggs and the ducks give milk,
the people will awake to the fact that
they might have done better.
Labor is ; supreme and labor shall
rule. It v may not be in our day, yet
we fervently hope to see it. We hope
to see the time when the laborer's
daily toil will pay for his daily neces
sities and those of his family; an.l
when in addition to this, he will be
able to own his home, and to properly
clothe his children. We hope to see
the day when he will reap the reward
of his own honest efforts, instead of
having others do it for him. Let but
the laborer realize his true condition,
let him fully realize the abundant
power he holds in his ballot, and he
will see to it that he receives his just
share of his earnings. It has been
proven ' by eminent staticians' that
at present the laborer's share Is about
$5,000 per year. And what is consid
ered his just' share In the present day,
barely enough to pay rent on a miser
able cottage owned by somebody else,
and buy a meager amount of trust
beridden necessities. His children and
wife must needs work as hard as he
to keep the wolf from the door. Why
is it? Are not all men created equal?
Have they not all the same right to
liberty, life and the pursuit of happi
ness? Yet what part of these good
things come to the laboring man?
Simply the part described above.
The trouble and the remedy both Ho
in the ballot. The laborer can con
tinue this condition of things or he can
better it as he chooses. He outnum
bers his opponents ten to one. s What
he wants and what he must t.ave is
courage to continue the fight to a
successful end. He cannot expect to
win such a fight in a few years. He
must bel resolved to go through hard
ships and privations, and trials even
greater than those which he now en
dures. Hfe must be filled with the same
ardor and spirit which characterized
our grandfathers In the time of the.
revolution! Reverses and hardtimea
must not discourage him. He can and
will be successful In the end, and
when he ia, "government of the peo
ple, for the people, by the people" will
have been an accomplished fact.

favoritism, and consequent uniairness.
Shall we be censored for rolling at
tention to this fact? Can It be wrong
to expose a wrong? Call it stirring up
class hatred, call it anything, it mat

the present quality of prosperity, there
will be poverty and crime and dis
satisfaction. And as long as we have
these men will be found to decry sucn
conditions and urge the people through
the medium of a free pre3s and f roe
speech to act in the behalf of them
selves, their wives and their children.
Aurora, Neb. W. M. LAKIN.
