 are a luxury, that is the worst said. 

 Are they not elevating? Do they lead 

 to the penitentiary, to the asylum? 

 .\o. hardly. Are they not cupid's 

 leafy bower? You associate them 

 with mother's love. — yes. with the

 ignoramus who passes over so many 

 lines of evil luxuries to injure the 

 dissemination of one of nature's most 

 sublime creations, flowers.

TO MY FELLOW CRAFTSMEN. 



Cheer uj). the war is over! Before 

 spring i)eace will reign throughout 

 Europe. There is not a statesman, 

 banker nor merchant prince who is 

 not thoroughly convinced of this by 

 this time. It is only natural that 

 some should be reluctant to admit 

 this, but good sense will prevail, and 

 in due time, say within six or eight 

 weeks, I believe the general desire for 

 the cessation of hostilities will be- 

 come manifest. Do not allow your- 

 self to be influenced by the fairy tales 

 that have been printed in most of our 

 newspapers. In order to know the 

 true conditions in relation to foreign 

 countries, it is essential to be familiar 

 with the general characteristics of 

 the people in those countries. 



We are soon to enter upon an era 

 of great prosperity, for this country 

 will be the first to be benefited when 

 the wheels of commerce are again put 

 in motion throughout the world. 

 Whether we have statesmen, college 

 professors or school boys at the head 

 of our Nation will make little differ- 

 ence. 



It is not my intention to delve into 

 the merits or demerits of the various 

 belligerents. '•With malice toward 

 none and charity for all."

 the feature of the inauguration of 

 Mayor William M. Blakeley at the Mai-
