Record Crouch Gets
Bigger and Bigger

The editor OF the oaafp
County Record brought out his
crouch against Congressman
Oldfield and displayed it all
over the front page of his pa
per last week.
1t reminded one of a futile
but ferocious attempt of a pole
cate to puke all over an ele-
plant.
Now, that happens to be con-
siderable puke, and from about
as dirty, sinking little animal
as we can conveniently call to
mind Just now. But for real old
rotten venom, such as was dis
played by the Record, the COM
parison doesn't do justice tothe
case.
But If the Record thinks such
rotten and odious attacks as
this will detract from the popu-
larity or dim the brilliant and
able record that Mr.. Oldfield
has made III congress, then the
editor of that paper issuffering
from a delusion that could be
equalled by that of diarrhea-
red gutter rat attempting to
cover the Washington monu-
ment with fertilizer
And the editor of the Sharp
County Record has gotten him
self in an attitude that makes
him about that ridiculous.
The Records strenuous denial
that it ever asked any favors
of Congressman Oldfield proves
nothing in behalf of its foul
and unwarranted attack upon
him.
The fact remains, and iseven
admitted by the Record, that it
enthusiastically supported him
UP until two years ago. 1t is a
self-evident fact, admitted by
everybody except a few disap-
pointed place-seekers, that Mr..
Oldfield has won greater re-
cognition in congress in the
past two years, than ever be-
fore.
Was his recent election to
membership on the Ways and
Means Committe, the most i'm
portant and mostpowerful COM
mittee in congress-was this
just hollow mockery that
doesn't mean anything-a sort
OF vaudeville stunt pulled off
by the greatest men in congress
Just to tickle Bills vanity?
Bryan's strong Endorsement
of Mr.. Oldfield, published in the
Commoner on more than one
occasion-was that just a Joke
Mr.. Bryan sprung on the public
merely to fill up his paper?
When some of the admins
tration leaders were in confer
ence at the national capital Just
before congress convened, and
sent for Mr.. Oldfield to join in
the conference.-the you s'pose
they had ID present and want.

The Law OF the Sea.

Technically, Germany's sinking OF
the Lusitania is held 10y some people
not German. to have been legal, i. e.,
in accordance with the rules of war,
but morally the act, 50 far as the
passengers, neutrals including women
and children, are concerned, it was
massacre most foul and unnatural.
Granted the Lusitania was an enemy
shin. that she carried cOntraband OF war
still the drowning Of the people aboard
her was uniustiliablc. A German war
ship overtaking the Lusitania would
have given passengers and crew time
TO escape. That submarine found
her and could not take the people
aboard is no defense. The ship was
near land; the people could have been
put in the boats and sent TO safety.
The vessel was not ordered to stop,
but was torpcdoed without warning; a
crime rs the Lustana, according to
the evidence, was not armed.
As 10 the plea Of necessity, that Ger
many is justified in any measures Of
retaliation against England for Starv-
ing out Germany civilian population,
that does not hold; particularly 1t does
not hold rs against ncutrals and non
cOmbatants
Germany has no right TO slaughter
neutrals on the high seas simply be
cause they are found on enemy ships,
not war Vessels. Gcrmany's warnings
in American PAPERS to keep Americans
from sailing on TIE ships OF the Allies,
counts for nothing. Germany has no
exclusive ownership Of the sea that
her Nerboten should keep Americans
off the water, IN whatsoever ships
they may sail, when bound on peaceful
errands, Noncombatants, especially
women and children, cannot be
wantony slaughtered 10y any Power,
under any plea of necessity of State.
It matters not that Great Britain
should have protected those nrutrals
and nOncombatanls. Under all the
rules Of war il was Gernanys duty 10
spare them.
The fact that Germany lights at sea
chiefly with submarines does no. set
aside the law Of civilized warfare and
abolish the dictates Of ordinary hu-
manity War does not forbid neutruls
the right 10 use the sea, and not alone
the United States, but all the neutral
nations are warrcd upOn 10y such an
act as the sinking Of the lousitauia
and the drowning Of nUncumOatants,
women and children. AS our Pres
ident molly ana finely sad We must
stand, 10 this and in all other matters,
not alone for our own rights, but for
the rights Of humanity. We must
stand for them, not against Germany,
but against any and all inhumanity
and Savagery. The sea must be free
and safe for all who do not fight from
all who do fight upon its bosom or in it,,
depths. william Marion Hcedy in St
Louis Mirror,

II is unfortunate for the Polish re-
lief workers that the worlds sympathy
and resources have been SO wholly OBJ
sessed with Belgium. IL becomes more
and more evident that the situation in
Poland is even more distressing in
many particulars than that in Belgium.
This gradually is being borne in upon
the worlds attention. The report Of
the Rockefeller Foundation Commission
revealed an advanced degree of misery
in this war-swept country. The de-.
structuu Of whole villages, the tramp.
ing down OF fields, the closing OF mines
cOnspired with the shutting OIL of i'm.
ports 70 bring about a condition Of
acute economic prostration. Starya-
ton has resulted on a large scale. Ep-
idemics now have dccpened the mis-
cry Of the people These conditions
ARE recited even more graphically and
with more Particularly by lgnace Pad
erewski, who is appealing 10 Ameri-
cans in behalf Of his countrymen. it
is proper that the material distress
be mphaslled and made the occasion
Of appeals for the worlds sympathy;
less distressing is that in this country
the war has worn the guise Of civil
strife. la this partiOued domain the
population bias been enlisted ia three
armies Russian, German and Austrian.
Thus brother is lighting against broth
er and father against son in a war
where there can be no burning interest
for them on either side. This invests
the situation in Poland With tragic
aspect that Is all its own. The specla.
Gle cannot but stir the sympathies OF
even those Powers who are using the
country and the people as pawns II
should suggest one consideration 70 be
kept In mind by the friends Of human
Ivy 10 every territorial REIMBURSEMENT
following the present wgr. That the
new lines will leave Poland itself in
any more secure position than formerly
is far from certain at the momtnt
But that should be one Of the aims Of
the adiusters, even as IL should be
their determination that similar pre-.
dicament shall not be fastened upon
any other smaller state In Europe. .Ex.

THURSDAY, MAY u, 1915.

Assuming that the Lusitania's hull
will never be examined to ascertain
the extent of the damage inflicted by
the torpedo, the truth as to whether
she was struck once or more than once
will never be known.
The official report from the captain
Of the submarine--or what is given out
by the censor at Berlin, is that only
one torpedo was fired and that after it
pierced the vessels side below the cap
tain's bridge An explosion occurred, pre-
sumably an explosion Of ammunition.
Nothing in the course of the war
has been impressed more deeply than
that censored dispatches are edited in
the interest Of the country whose cen
sors are Just as fond Of Interpolation as
of elimination. The world will never
know what the captain Of the submar-
inc reported,
In the absence of any good reason for
believing that any official news, from
any country involved in the war, Is
true, it is a safe rule to put down what
is published as being nothing more
than what the publishers would like
the world to believe.

Prohibition in Norway.

The prohibition movement in
Norway has received some impetus as
result of the war, and while there Is
no clear indication OF what the effect
will be, there are anumber OF interest
ing phases of the situation in this coun-
try.
Since the prohibition movement was
started here seventy years ago the con-
sumption of strong liquor is shown
statistically to have diminished grad
ually in all Norway from ten quarts of
100 per cent. alcohol per capita in lS43,
to } Sc quarts in 1890. Laws reg
ulating the manufacture and sale Of
strong liquors (agvavit, brandy and
whiskeyl- have made it more and more
difficult 10 obtain these drinks, and
according to the law of 1894, no sale or
no saloons are allowed in the rural
districts la the cities, the sale of
liquor in saloons or restaurants is done
by stock companies which get their
license by municipal voting. These,
companies are allowed only five per
cent interest on their capital, the
remainder of the profits going to the
state, the city, or philanthrJpic lnStl-
tutions. Beer and Wine in bottles,
may be sold by any grocer. The sale
of all intoxcants however, is suspend
ed everywhere during holidays.
Under these laws sobriety has gen.
orally increased. The restricted sale
OF liquor, however, has driven the

British Merchant Marine Losses.

Not including warships, POI English
vessels have been lost since the war
began and the accompanying loss OF
life has been $3.50. These figures IN

ers and drafters. Figures not SO
recent-namely, for the three months
ending December 3l-are presented by

In the presence of danger, our in.
telligence, our imagination, our will,
are unusually wide awake We begin
to perceive the limits of accepted
forms of thought, the inadequacy of
the standards by which we have been
accustomed to pass judgment on life
and on history, and the partial nature
of truths We had regarded as final
and complete. A great disturbance,
like that of an earthquake, is passing
beneath our life, and the elements of

FAMOUS MAKERS OF BELLS
Frans and Pieter Remony, Natives OF
Lorraine, Said to Have Excelled
In the Craft.

Most of the bells of Holland and
Belgium are of the manufacture or
the Hemonys, two brothers, who lived
between 1897 and 1880. The Hemonys
--Frans, the elder, and Pieter, the
younger brother-were natives OF
Lorraine who early established them
selves at Zutfen. They were excellent
craftsmen producing bells of peculiar
beauty of form, and possessed a mar
velous faculty for tuning bells. Theirs
was the golden age of carlton making,
and their bells remain predominant in
the towers Of the Low Countries today
1t is interesting to notice their con-
temporaries in the Netherlands, for
the carlton was the manifestation
in music of the spirit of people who
at the same time were showing great
genius in many other directions.
Rembrandt, Yer Nicer, Rubens. Van
Dyck, Frans Halls and PETER d'Hooch
all lived at this period. Likewise,
Lieven de Kay, the master builder,
and Visscher, the famous engraver,
and Vondel, the dramatist and poet,
Tromp and De Ruyter were winning
their naval victories and Grotius was
writing his great works on interna-
tional law.
The brothers Hemony made their
first carlton in 1645 for the Wine
house tower at Zutfen. During 35
years the Hemonys made scores of
carillons. the total value of which
Van der Straeten says was surely
more than 100000 francs-s600, 1000
an enormous sum for the time

PLEA FOR THE OLD HOME LIFE
Return to It Would Be of Benefit to
the Nation, Is the Opinion of
New Yorker.

Again we hear the praises sung of
the old-fashioned mother"-it is a
theme to arouse tender memories and
to inspire imitation among the women
Of today, remarks the New York Mail.
The od-fashioned mother, home-loVing
and devoted to her children, caring for
them in sickness and in health, from
the cradle to the end-it was she who
made the home and kept it, and who
made the nation strong and great in
the stability of its units, the homes.
But there was the old-fashioned ia.
Their, too, who found his greatest pleas.
ure in being by the side of the oldfash-
toned mother, with their children
about them. To him the family fire.
side was the best place on earth, and
he helped to make it such, and mother
and father were the best people ia the
world in those days when they nightly
gathered their brood about them for
the family hour--the best hour in the
tWenty-four.
Parents of today lose much by not
being old-fashioned, their children lose
more and the nation suffers most of
all, for no people can be truly strong
when the hearthstone ceases to draw
with compelling force, and when ia.
ther and mother and children are sep
arated in the pursuit of the excite.
ments that take the place of the old.
fashioned home life.
