These two countries together contain population OF
about 1880 900 inhabitants, of whom fully 2,G6OOU
OF q majority are Germans.
Thus France which at this day contains German
speaking population of 100000. has harbored the
outspoken design to conquer new German territory
with population of over six millions. III Napoleon
had been successful in this war, he would not have
failed - carry out at least in part, the traditional
policy OF FaAnce and annexed at least part OF Ger

a cession OF territory to France, would never nave

have bee the germ of another desperate war be-

1t is now generally expected that the Germans, If
victorious Will demand back part OF lne Whoie vi
the territory which still is inhabited by German
speaking people. Whether this is the wisest course
they might pursue under the circumstances may be
disputed; but no one, in view of the facts above
enumerated will dare to maintain that any terrific
rial change the Germans may make will be so
glaringy unjust as the one which the war party IN
France has been demanding ever since 1915.
To give better and more distinct conception OF
the comparative number of German and French In
habtans in this territory, the following diagrams
have been furnished by Dr. Edwin Leigh, according
to his Bi 'sEye" notation for numbers first eX-

w 1t will be seen by our Colum-
bus letter that the Turnpike law has
been so amended as to require an af-
frmative vote of the people before the
Commissioners can proceed to execute
it. This vote can be taken this Spring,
or at any subsequent election. We
presume our County Board will, at
their March session, arrange for taking
the vote at the coming Spring elec
ton. Let the Board decide on gen.
eral system of Turnpikes--not one or
two, but enough to accommodate all
parts of the county-and then submit
the matter to the people for their ap
proval or rejection. If approved, then
let the Board Immediately proceed to
carry ont their plans, building no more
each year than the amount of the levy
will do--creating no debt. If rejected,
why, then let the people wallow in the
mud while longer.

E That Evansville is q town of
considerable commercial importance
is due, not to her favorable geograph-
ical position, but to the indomitable
energy of her leading citizens and
business men.-Cdir0 Bulletin.
That tells the whole story. En-.
ergy will make even the wilderness
to blossom like the rose, while with
out it, it would remain the home of
bowling beasts. So with towns.
No matter what their natural ad-
vantages may be, ifthe people have
not pluck and energy these all count
as nothing. Gallipolls has advan-
tages for business industry and
thrift superior to any town on the
river-she is on the line Of the short
est and best route from Norfolk to
the great Northwest, while the hills
a few miles back of her are full of
iron ore and coal, yet but partially
develeped-still these all are of no
avail without ENERGY on the part
Of her people to make use of them.
Wake up, then-set in play your
energies-buiid the railroad-and
the end will be increased population,
business life and activity, and, what
some would like much bitter, a large
increase in the value of town lots
and farms.
