J. L. Bonn and Joe Heath are said
to have been on a bear hunting expe
dition in the neighborhood of mile
2*> last Sunday, and report having
killed four out of the six bears that
they got in range of that day. There
is considerable excitement and in
terest at Roosevelt over the big kill
ing, and if Bonn and Heath did not
scare all the bear out of the country,
there will probably be several more
hides drying in the sunshine next
week.

MAN FALLS 80
FEET IN SHAFT
WITHOUT INJURY
OMAHA, Neb.,.—Frank White, said
to be a graduate of an eastern uni
versity, had a miraculous secape from
death when he plunged eighty feet
from the top of the new Hynes ele
vator at Council Bluffs.
Frank Parker, operating the hoist
saw White falling down the elevator
shaft. He controlled the speed of the
descending hoist so that when White’s
body struck, the car and the body were
hurtling downward at almost the
same rate of speed. White was un
injured.
White was replacing an empty car
rier on the hoist when a wrong signal
was given. The car plunged downward
and White fell into the shaft from an
elevation of 110 feet
The “movie” thriller of body meet
ing car in the downward flight was
staged when the hoist was forty feet
from the ground.

“WHY DO WE FIGHT
GERMANY?”
(Continued from page four.)
things proclaims the gospel that gov
ernment has no conscience. And this
doctrine can not live, or else Demo
cracy must die! For the nations ot
the world must keep faith. There
can be no living for us in a world
where the State has no conscience,
no reverence for the things of the
spirit, no respect for international
laws, no mercy for those who fall
before its Force. What an unorder
ed world! Anarchy! The anarchy
of the rival wolf packs!
We are fighting Germany because
in this war Feudalism is making its
last stand against on-coming
Democracy. We see it now. This
is a war against an old spirit, an
ancient, outworn spirit. It is a war
against Feudalism—the right of the
castle on the hill to rule the village
below. It is a war for Democracy—
the right of all to be their own mas
ters. Let Germany be feudal if she
will! Hut she must not spread her
system over a world that has out
grown it. Feudalism plus Science,
thirteenth century plus twentieth
this is the religion of the mistaken
Germany that has linked itself with
the Turk—that has, too, adopted the
method of Mahomet. “The state has
no conscience.” “The state can do
no wrong.” With the spirit of the
fanatic she believes this gospel and
that it is her duty to spread it by
force. With poison gas that makes
living a hell, with submarines that
sneak through the seas to slyly mur
der noncombatants, with dirigibles
that bombard men and women while
they sleep, with a perfected system
of terrorization that the modern world
first heard of when German troops
i entered China—German feudalism is
j making war upon mankind.
Let this old spirit of evil have its
way and no man will live in America
without paying toll to it, in manhood
and in money. This spirit might de
mand Canada from a defeated, navy
less England, and then our dream of
peace on the north would be at an end.
1 We would live, as France has lived
| for forty years, in haunting terror.
America speaks for the world in
fighting Germany. Mark on a map
those countries which are Germany’s
allies, and you will mark but four,
running from the Baltic through Aus
tria and Bulgaria to Turkey. All the
other nations, the whole globe around,
| are in arms against her or are unable
to move. There is deep meaning in
this. Wc fight with the world for a"
honest world, in which nations keep
their word, for a world in which na
|
: tions do not live by swagger or by
threat, for a world in which men
think of the ways in which they can
conquer the common cruelties of na
ture instead of inventing more hor
rible cruelties to inflict upon the spirit
and body of men, for a world in which
the ambition of the philosophy of a
few shall not make miserable all man
kind, for a world in which the man is
held more precious than the machine,
the system or the state.
