POOR SNIP!

NJ w Waldron brought action
against O Harmon, in Judge Han
sens court Friday of last week,
for $100, at which he valued his
collie dog, to-wit, Snip. Snip
was alleged to have made his
demise via the strychnine route
after having eaten a
piece of beefsteak which was al
legged to have been poisoned and
placed in the plaintiffs back yard
with malicious intention by the
defendant. However, the afore-
said Snip did eat of something,
whether it was beefsteak or not
we do not know, that proved too
much for his delicate constitution,
and did make his demise very
much to the sorrow of the plain
tiff herein mentioned.
E P ConWell was the defend
ants attorney and was opposed
by Attorney A Y Moore, who
endeavored, by very touching
pleas, to extract the $100 balm,
but was met by equally touching
pleas on the part Of the learned
scoundrel for the defence, the
outcome of which, was, that
Ships policy didn't stick, which
goes to prove that he should have
had one in the New York Life.

most everyone in town out on the
streets. and that was IN every

marched from the hall to the de-

the afternoon. Besides those
who came in on No. 22. seven
auto loads came down from Flag

of visitors from that city up to
about forty. On account OF No.

didates did not arrive until 9:3O.
It was one of the largest meet
ings of Elks held in Winslow re-.
Gently, there being present about
2OO members. A most hilarious
time was had and the candidates
who were initiated are entitled
to wear horns for a day or two
at least. A banquet was tspread
in the Elk's dining room alter
the ceremonies and speech-mak-
ing was indulged in, and a great

An act of bravery, on the part
of Trob Roach, that deserves
passing mention, was that OF
rescuing little Laurel Bly, from
being mangled beneath the
wheels of the engine that pulled
No. 22 into Winslow last Satur-
day afternoon. The Elk's par
ade had formed just south of the
tracks near the Harvey House,
awaiting the arrival of No. %
which brought the Flagstaff del
agation. Several little girls
crossed the track barely ahead
Of the train and the little Bly
girl was just behind them. See
ing the others cross in front OF
the on-rushing train, she too,
child like, attempted to follow,
and, but for the presence OF
mind and quick action of Roach,
who was standing on the oppo-
site side of the track and who de-
liberately threw himself in front
Of the train knocking her cleal
Of the track, she would, probab-
ly have been killed. The engine
pilot barely missed striking Mr..
Roach.
The crowd hardly noticed the
feat, their attention being at
tracted by the incoming train,
out those who did see it, warm
Iy applauded the deed and con-
graduated the young man. The
little girl was stunned from the
force of.contact and did not re-
alize at the time. nor, probably,
never will realize how near she
was to death or, at least, being
badly injured. Roach accepted
the thanks of the frightened
mother and the congratulations
of the crowd in a manner
that made The deed all the more
meritous.

process of evolution, maintain
ing that the people get just
what is coming to them, and
until they reach a higher plane
of development, nothing short
of war, death and suffering will
awaken them. In our present
stage of evolution they see a ne

not be. All forms Of life from
the lowest to the highest are en-
gagged in a perpetual warfare in
which no quarters are asked or
given.
A few Utopian dreamers look

only few decades Of time, and
loose sight of the fact that the
aeons of years man has spent
on this planet have made of him
only a perfect beast in which

WAR

States as well, despite the fact
that public opinion in this country
is strongly opposed to it, yet
Developments in the past few
weeks has started a strong under
tow that leads to that seething
whirlpool. The sinking of the
Lucitania was merely an Incl
dent { and it seems that as this
war is unprecedented, and cen
sequently, no set rules establish
ed regulating modern warfare, J
and was perfectly justifiable
from the German point of view.
And why shouldn't it be so? If
Germany is right, and her ultim-
ate existence as far as being q
world power is concerned de-
pends upon victory, why should
she not use every means in her
power to terminate the struggle
in her favor as soon as possible.
1t is pitiless and cold-blooded
to send thousand or so non
combatants, many of whom were
Americans, to their doom with
out warning, but hundreds Of
thousands cf non-combatants in
any of the countries at war have
or will meet a worse fate, re-
gardless of the fact that they are
as innocent of the cause of the
war as any American who was
aboard the ill-fated vessel.
Drowning is an easy road of
exit.
If war is right, or if any
country be engaged in righteous
warfare, then any methods en-
ployed to hasten victory must be
1t would be silly to
expect man to fight a bear
bare-handed, and equally silly to
expect Germany or any other
country to not use any means
in it's power to gain it's end.
Wars are not a very elevating
pastime at the best, but if they
are to be made a gentleman S
sport posterity will never see the
last one. War so horrible and
brutal and beastly as to make
the strong-hearted shrink in ad-
ject terror to the utter eX-
termination of the vanquished,
be he soldierorcivilian would put
a checking reign on quarreling
princes, and would, in such a
struggle as is now going on in
Europe, be no worse on the mas
ses whose very posterity is doom
ed to tread-mill slavery for q
century to come.
According to recent estimates
the first ten months of the war
has cost in actual cash about
$14, 900, 900, 100000, almost 800,
900 men have been slain, 4,500,
900 wounded and over 1000, 00O

which are irrevocable and which
could not be measured in a mon
