A Few Hot Shots From
Alabama, and a Swipe
at Foreign Missions

EAR SIR: We want to ask
ILL what you think about a law
Is it a violation of the crini-
nal statutes OF the country
for man to ask for bread when a
man is out of money, out Of bread
and out of employment, and goes out
upon the public highway in search of
work? Under our present National
Administration rich shylOcks can get
all the money they want from Uncle
Sam to put out at a high rate Of in
terest while thousands Of poor men
are forced to tramp over the coun-
try in search Of work and when they
ask for something to eat, as they
pass along through a community
where no work can be found, are
taken up by the officials, tried for
the crime of begging, which is more
honorable than stealing, and SEN
fenced to hard labor But such is
life under National Democracy, and
it's twin brother, Stand Pat Repub-
licanism
Unless there is a change in our
dealings with the unfortunate poor
God is going to withhold from us his
mercles and blessings. In speaking
through Solomon Jehovah says,
Whosoeyer stOppeth his ears against
the cries of the poor, he himself shall
cry, but shall not be heard And
again in speaking through Isiah, he
says, 'Woe to them that write de-
crees Of unrighteousness to Cypress
the poor of my people" And John
q
Of God in his heart if he sees his
fellowman in need of this worlds
goods and withholds the same from
him. And Jesus says, "To love thy
neighbor as thyself," is the second
great commandment. David saws,
BLESSED is he that cOnsidereth the
poor, God will not let him suffer-"
Paul says, Though I bestow all my
goods upon the poor and have not
charity-the love Of Cod am as
sounding brass. Finally in sum
ming up the destiny of man, beyond
the resurrection, the great Judge of
all the earth will say to those on his
right hand, "Inasmuch as We fed the
poor, gave relief to the sick, and
visited those in prison, We did it also
unto me, enter thou into eternal
life" But to those on his left hand
he will say, "Inasmuch as We did not
minister unto the poor, the sick and
those in prison, We did it not unto
me.depart into everlasting perdi-
tion." AS much as we admire that
person who makes a sacrifice to 60
and preach the gospel to the heather,
yet that admiration is not surpassed
by anything except our admiration
for those who help the poor of our
land. We should all strive to do all
the good we can for death is no re-
specter of persons and we are liable
to be taken at any time Only a

BACK TO ASYLUM
Homer Miner Had Forged Name
And Secured $3.50 From
George c. Cary.

Homer Miner, 21 years Old forged
the name of his brother, William Min
er, made his escape to Richford and
from there to Canada where he was
arrested, brought back to Richford
and last Sunday afternoon Sheriff Wor-
then went to Richford and brought
him to the local Jail Monday after
noon.
1t seems that Miner had been sent
to the Industrial school at Vergennes
some time ago and became deranged
and was sent to the asylum at Water
bury. He lay for several weeks there
in a comatose state but had recovered
and been conditionally released. He
came here to visit his brother who
works for Mr.. Cary on one of his farms
in Danville. About two weeks ago he
came to town with an order on Mr..
Cary in favor of his brother for $3.50
He was given a check for the amount
and signed his brothers name to it
and went away. Evidently he is not
right mentally and the asylum authori-
ties will take him back to that insti-
tuition for care and treatment

Talk Without Facts.
It il the fashion In this country
when there is any discussion Of the
lack of adequate war munitions and
equipment for the army and navy to
decry such talk on the ground that it
is either inspired by the manufactur-
ers of munitions or plays into their
hands: to meet all statements as to
need for munitions by talk of Krupp-
ism.
Such talk, however, proceeds without
recognizing the fact that congress IT IL
will can take steps to provide munitions
and equipment without permitting the
government to be victimized by makers
Of equipment and munitions. For in
stance. if congress does not want to
have ordnance, equipment and NUM-
lions made by private concerns 1t can
provide for government manufacture

ever, 1t has neglected to take either
course, simply letting the matter drift.

Washington. June 9.-The war mu-
nitions problem ID going to receive
more Intelligent attention at the hands
Of the next session Of congress than 1t
has ever received before in this counn-
try.
1t is hardly needful to say that if a
rupture Of relations with Germany or
armed intervention in Mexico should
come about, the extra session OF con-
gress which would probably result,
would make large war appropriations.
But if things run along without the
country getting any nearer to war than
it is now until the regular session next
winter congress will still be under
strong pressure to deal UNDERSTANDING
" with the munitions problem. This
will be a problem in and Of itself, apart
from the overhauling Of the military
system and appropriations for naval
construction.
Folly Long Reiterated.
Congress has for many years been
told and told again and again that the
failure to provide the munitions OF
war which would be needed in case OF
a great conflict was folly. AS matter
Of fact. most intelligent leaders in the
House and Senate have not disputed
this. But they have followed the pol
icy of not doing today what could be
under any pretext shunted over until
tomorrow. The result is that the Unit
ed States has nothing like the amount
Of war munitions which single big
campaign would require. Both as to
land and sea forces it is far behind
in respect to munitions. The supply
Of reserve powder alone is utterly in
adequate.
1t is q fact ell-knoWn now, though
little understood at the time. that it
the United States had been compelled
to intervene in Mexico about the time
Of the Vera Cruz expedition or earlier
than that, the army would have been
found to have nowhere near enough
munitions and modern equipment.
Equipment by Necessity.
The recent developments in the war
in Europe have opened the eyes OF the
world as to the part played In cam
paigns today by the equipment OF ar
mics; to the Indispensable need OF
great numbers Of batteries OF field ar
tillery Of the most modern type, OF
vast supplies Of ammunition for ar
tillery and rifles, and of other equip
ment. such as motor vehicles and other
modern paraphernalia. Conservative
military men have been astounded.
1t was pointed out today that the
German General Mackensen in his
brilliant operations against the Rus
SLAMS in Galicia had more artillery
massed in a single sector of the great
line Of battle than the United States
army could muster If it massed to-
gether its entire supply. How the Ger
man guns beat down all opposition be-
fore them has been told In the dis
patches.
No man has set forth the need Of
war munitions and more war NUM-
