What its destination will prove to be is of uiomentouH importance to every human being on thin earth, and to million** yet unborn. Ita importance politically and socially is so far beyond i anything in the pant, that biatorlcally it may almost rank with those great upheave)* of Nature in which our Karth was born,; That the men, ui>on whose shoulders | rvsts the formation of u right and last ing settlement, realize their responsibll ity, may 1 bfc ' accepted.

However, an iu thone disaster*, each day tends to bring order out of chaos, although at ftrat progres* way tlitHII slow. In thin effort tbe beat naiuds of the World are eullfted for its aolution, uud, It seems, with geucroua harmony of pur* po?w.

We come as men, conscious of having cleared away tbe old system. We corae with pure hearts. That U.why we remind you that we are 70,000,000 human beings who want to live, and that it is your duty to forget and to help us reconstruct the new world." We may be more forgotful as a nation than we should, but with our wouuded ami dying reaching our shores by the .shipload, with thousands more to come for months, we resent being told It is our "duty to forget" ? and it will be noticed w? are not asked to ''forgive." What we need to guard ourselves uguiust is the danger of relapsing into indifference to the crimes uud horrors which'" the Iluns inflicted ot? humanity. riven now the Ilun in our midst is ? Good Tires Speed ' Deliveries O - ? ^ ? .a No car is better than its tires. And time lost through tire troubles cannot be replaced. Good tires are the best practical guarantee of your car's continuous and economical service. United States Tires are good tires ? the best tires our 76 years of experience in the rubber t business have taught us to make. You have your, choice of five different types for passenger car or light delivery use ? 'Nobby', 'Chain \ 4Usco\ 'Plain', and the famous 'Royal Cord'. There is also the 4 Nobby Cord' for heavy duty vehicles, as well^ts tbe^SolithTniclrT"ireV^ Among these good tires j^hj will find ^ _ exactly the treads best suited to y our car and Hkttldli&lng conditions. iAAgnd Service Depot dealer to you.

It would be a righteous expression of our abhorrence of FfuniHin not to admit for residence here, for the period of at least five years, uuy emigrant from what waa Germany 01* Austria. It would be more con vine of our opinion of Kultur than the exacting of any possible indemnity in money ? which they would proceed to mako out of wt and pay u*? with our own gold. Nor must we relax in our attitude toward those flagrant offenders ?those already interned. They must be tried and, if guilty, convicted, and no foolish sentiment ahould plead for them "the war is over." r The war is not over in thia county a* long us one single voice ia raised against our flag, our institutions, and our high ideals of right and wrong. These offenders cannot understand these Ideals because the noise of Kultur has been dinned into their ears in the era He, in the school, in the home, aud iu the church, until they almply cannot hear "the clanging of the Liberty bells. We should abolish In this Country ev ery school, private, public^ or Sabbath, conducted in any language but Knglifih. When the Pilgrim F?thers landed they 'hanked God' for freedom in the English tongue. When the mlnuteinen fought for liberty, they flrpoke English. When that greatest of all human documents, the Declaration of Independence, was framed, it waji Written in English. The "Hinr-Spangled Iianner" and the "Battle Hymn of, the Republic" were written in English. Tho English language has been j the language of freedom, and opportun- ! 'ity, and sclf-respect, ant] deliverance . from oppression, throughout this broad land all these years. If this country is ; good enough for foreigners to leave tlieir; homes across the sen to make their home ! here, our language must bo good enough; for them 1m. socqk. wo &ho?!d insist i on it. I would make it a condition fori an emigrant to land here, that every j member of the family over eight years | of age must be able to speak English; "so y,?u can understand it" unless he j was dumb or tongue-tied. I would 1 de- j cree that after the year 1020 no an-; nounfement. pamphlet or periodical I should be in any language but English. . Hermitage Mill News. Camden, H. C., Jan. 29.?
