LIES EBB AND FLOW

There are many things that enter
into the life of man who has more or
less to do. in a public. way. Sometimes
he wonders if it is worth while to act
the honorable part, when he sees wick
ed men apparently fiourishng as the
green bay tree. But, away back yon-
der In the remote past, the inspired
declared the devil eventually came into
bis own, or words with similar import.
And, it pays big dividends today as
1t always has, to link ones life with the
things worth while. And more, the
book of books has recorded within it's
pages that it pays in the hereafter.
Some one has declared that character
alone comes back from the grave with
the hearse," and we are reasonably
certain shat there are no pockets in a
shroud
Men desert the thing and the prnci-
piles that they know to be right fer mo-
mentary fame. in the struggle for the
honor of their feliowmen; they seem to
forget that the highest honor which can
come to a human being is to be a man,
with all that word implies. What doth
man profit if he attain the utmost
pinnacle of fame, if be climbs above
his fellow by reason of dshonor?
In the final analysis, when age has
bent the form and the stride is ndefn
ate and uncertain, it is going to be
worth while to say to those who watch
above the couch of death that there is
not dirty dollar in my possession.
Yes, the wicked flourish and appar-
emily grow fat, but the mills of the
gods grind slow, yet they grind ex-
ceedingly fine. Hyde County News.

LINCOLN AND RECONSTRUCTION

Boston Transcript: Lincoln was
the first president of the United
States to fall at the hands of an as
sassin. Like Garfield and Mckinley.
he perished in the acme hour of his
popularity. Unlike them, he was
annotated to the expiring passions
of the great Civil War. Viewed from
the standpoint of his achievements.
he may be said to have died in the
hour of the consummate triumph of
his cause, but when the success Of
his policy yet remained to be deter
mined. A sympathetic golden strand
runs through Lincoln's policy. Dur
ing his lifetime he never thought to
endeavor to associate reconciliation
with the supremacy of the Union.
He did not want to see the Southern
Confederacy treated as so many con-
quered provinces, but as so many
reconciled states. His kindlincss
aud his craftsmanship went together.
The association of the gsnerous heart
and wise head, which Carlyle pro-
nounces indissoluble, was empha-
sized in Lincoln He would have
paid the South for the enfranchised
slaves to give it capital with which
TO begin it's new career as section
wholly dependent on hired labor.

THE SPRING CAMPAIGN

Huron Huronite: According to an
announcement from London, the
British army has started an expedi-
ton to Danish the German army from
Belgium and the French army is CO.
operating at the Alsace end of the
line.
A full test of the power of one
army to drive another army from en-
trenched positions will now be made.
The weather has taken a favorable
turn. The allied army has been
heavily reinforced. Ammunition
has been supplied III large quantities.
Everything seems to be ready for
the promised spring drive.
The progress Of the European war
up TO date has fixed belief in the in
vulnerability OF modern entrench-
ments and the interesting trial, based
upon that assumption, is about to en-
sue.
1t will call for bloody work and
does not promise what the British
army hopes for in Belgium.
Ii it is found impossible to dislodge
entrenched soldiers, the war will be-
come a wearing out process upon
lines already established.
NO positive gains have yet been
made in Belgium or France, since tho
opposing lines became fixed, by eith-
er side, though the slaughter has been
sickening.

That Gary Dinner.

So much has been said OF and
guessed about that Gary Dinner" at
which Theodore Roosevelt was guest,
that our readers will be glad to read
the facts we have no doubt. A Wash
ington correspondent of the Journal
writes:
This dinner, which Judge Gary
President Of the l.. S. Steel Corpora
ton, gave in honor of Theodore Roose-
welt and at which were a number Of
multi millionaires, was wholly with
out political purpose or significance.
There was no general discussion at the
table or afterwards and only two
statements were made to the entire
company, the conversation otherwise
being entirely between small groups.
Colonel Roosevelt, seated on Judge
Gary'S right, told his host that since
the outbreak of the present war Eng
land had built and commissioned a
fleet greater than our entire Navy, and
also that the number Of Americans
killed in war during this Administra-
ton. beginning with Vera Cruz and
ending with the sinking of the An
coma exceeded the entire number of
Americans killed in the Spanish War.
These statements impressed Judge
Gary as so interesting that he asked
MIR. Roosevelt to repeat them for the
benefit of the entire company, which
he did. Major General Leonard Wood
was invited, but could not attend. Had
he done so, it is quite probably that
there might have been more talk of
preparedness. After the dinner the
guests went to the music room, where
there was much music. which, of
course. precluded any general con-
versation.''

And as there can be produced

Education in 1915.

In striking contrast with the up
heaval in Europe is the peaceful ad-
vance of education in the United
States as recorded in the 1915 report
Educational preparedness is the domi
nant note. The upbulding of systems
of industrial education, whereby
Americas natural resources are to be
conserved and developed through
technical trade training. to the end
that the nation may render highest
service in the market of the world;
the establishment of stronger COM
mercial courses in public high schools,
designed to meet the new internation-
al trade situations involved in the
opening of the Panama Canal, the
European war, and the closer relations
between the countries of North and
South America; the improvement of
rural education. so that boys and girls
in the country may have equal OPP
portunities with boys and girls in the
cultural and country life in national
well-being may be fully understood.
In general, the report finds there has
been a real increase during the year in
progress toward that equality Of edu-
cational opportunity which is essential
in a democracy. This is indicated in
greater. interest in the health and care
Of young children and in better type
Of home education; in the rivival Of
interest in the kindergarten as an in
.tegral part of the public school sys-
tenn; in increased appropriations for
longer terms and better salaries for
teachers. particularly in rural COM
munities where school terms have been
short and salaries of teachers have
been small; in the enactment of school
attendance laws in some of the States
which have not until now had such
laws: in the adoption of the larger unit
of administration Of rural schools in
several States; in the raising of STAN
dards of required preparation for
teachers in some States and in the ex-
tension Of the means of preparing
teachers in. normal schools in depart
ments Of education in colleges, and es-
pecially in teacher-training classes in
ibirh schools in the increased attend
