This is an Independent Republican

This is an Independent Republican
newspaper, devoted to the interest
of all the people, and not bound by
any sort of rule or rope to support
any nominee, whom it knows has
been untrue to the great common
people heretofore. We are ready
for advice from any honest man who
thinks we should persue different
course. We take pleasure and pride
in supporting a man who represents
our principles if he has been fairly
nominated and is worthy of our
confidence, but would this paper be
worthy of confidence if it asked its
readers to support every man no
matter what his character simply be-
cause he happened to be nominated?

"Put Up Thy Sword"

When, in the shadows of Gethse-
name, Christ said to the angry Peter:
Put up thy sword" He made the
disciple the type of waring nations.
The command was admonition for
patience and forbearance. the first
direct order for universal peace.
Suppose the days of miracles could
come back. and that from some
where out of the heavens, cleaving
the crystal spaces, that gentle voice
could say aloud to the war-crazed
hosts. killing each other on already
historic battle grounds: Put up
your swords" What "a magnetic ST.
lence. what a blessed peace there
would fall upon the world. Roses
would grow up in the death trenches
and the lannon's throat would fill
with rust. Men would turn in alb
horrence from their task of killing;
and the voice of Rachel, heard thru
out the land, would be a voice Of
singing for her children saved.
For, after all. what is war, and
WANT are the fruits thereof?
WAR is glory" say the leaders;
and the enlisted men. stirred to a

Bust Of Kaiser DETECTS Bullet.

Marseilles, Aug. 24.-Among the
French wounded here is a soldier
who has been fighting in Lorraine.
He owes his life, he says, to a small
bust of Emperor William, which he
gathered up in village school and
placed in his haversack.
A German bullet struck the bust
and damaged the head. The soldier
was only wounded by the missile

WATCH FOR The
old Army MOTH
Those With One Colored
Wing Very Dangerous.
Great Damage to Crops and
Lawns May Easily Be
Avoided.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 90
Evryone interested in the destruc-
ton of the army-worm pest is bclng
requested by the United States de-
partment of agriculture to look out
for army-worm moths with one ar
tificially-colored wing. The depart
ment's entomologists are catching
army-worm moths where they are
plentiful coloring one wing of each,
and then liberating them in the
same territory, so that they may de-
termine whether these moths fly di-
rectly west, or north, and how
quickly and far they will spread. A
better knowledge of the habits of
this pest should enable the depart
ment to control its spread. No moths
are to be let loose where their liber-
atiop could possibly add to the ma
turai damage.
The moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia and in Mary
land. and the departments agents
are catching speciments at Ports
mouth and Charlottesville. in Vir-
ginia, and Hagertown in Maryland.
The agents at Portsmouth are APP
plying a red stain to one wing of
each specimen caught; those at
Charlottesville a black or yellow
stain; and those at Hagertown, a
violet color, Then the moths are
left to follow the atural course
they would have pursued.
Look for the army-worm moth
with a colored wing during the
coming month";" the departments
bureau of Entomology is advising
it's agents west of the Mississippi.
Any one observing a marked speci-
men will aid in the campaign by re-
porting the fact to the bureau of
Entomology, Washington, d. C..
When it's presence has been noted,
the moth should be destroyed.
The wings of the army-wOrm
moth. when outspread, measure
about / " inches from tip to tip.
The body is about half this length.
The general shape of the moth with
its wings outspread is triangular.
The moths will hover about the
lights in the evening. On farms,
they will be found on the outside of
screens and doors at night. They
will probably not be observed in The
daytime. On dark, hot, close
nights, such as precede thunder
storms, they will probably be espe-
cially noticeable.
The army worm pest has caused
considerable damage to the crops
and lawns this summer throughout
the northern United States east of
the Mississippi. The worms are
only now disappearing in northern
Maine and Michigan, which were
probably Matched from the eggs of
moths migrating from more south
ern portions of the country. With
the additional knowledge that hits
experiment will give, the depart
ment hopes to control the spread of
the pest more completely in coming
years

but for the few; for the many 1t is
pain and anguish and humiliation.
And the fruits of war?
To the soldier in the ranks, not
so much as a grave OF his own on
which his loved ones may plant the
rosemary that is for memory" but
to rot in a trench, where hundreds
OF his unnamed comrades lie, one
more clod returned to dust.
To the leaders, If they are sue
cessful, the fruits are a little flat
terry, a little Haunting of flags and

mausoleum under the Grecian
sky, a dagger's thrust at the foot
of Pompey's statue, a death-bed in
far sea-girt prison under alien
stars. And, after these, line in
history.
This war has already made its
sacrifice of life, poured out its full
libation of blood to Mars. Belgium

Golgotha-"a place of skulls"-half

Germany weeps on her doorsteps.
The end can be only a few blood

And all of this hideous pain and
passion and sorrow and sacrifice for
what?

Times to-day, discussed at length the
German treatment of Americans who
were stranded in Germany at the
opening of the war, says:
"There are many indications that
Germany still hopes to find friends
among neutral nations. The most
strenuous efforts in that direction
were reserved for the United States
as represented by Americans strand
ed within Germany's borders.
$50 soon as the panic that followed
the outbreak of the war had subsid-

every courtesy be shown Americans.
All this week special trains have been
running for their benefit from Mu-
mich, Frankfort and other centers to
Rotterdam and Flushing. Nothing
was left undone which could give
the parting guests a favorable i'm

"At certain stations along the
route the parties were met by Ger
mans bringing hot coffee and other
and by others waving

However, we have to take conditions

must be held to an outline lest they
stray altogether think that practi-
