The Sank County Democrat is what a
Democratic newspaper ought to be-
a militant publication. It's editorial
page is sound, able and aggressive. It's
eyes are open, too; for it has not over
looked the fact that our good friend
Neal Brown, great individualist as he
is, has invoked the Law to break up a
combine in accident insurance rates.

LITTLE VIRTUES.

Life is made up, not of great
sacrifices and duties, but of little
things, in which smiles and kindness
and small obligations, given habitu-
ally, are what win and preserve the
heart and secure comfort. Common
place virtues are more important
than the vast sacrifices and splendid
heroisms that rightfully demand our
admiration when they occur, be-
cause their need is more constant.

door-rigid training in the elements OF
industry and citizenship.
It is invariably true that conditions
which lead up to lynching and mob
violence are the result OF q lack OF
education. 1t ray not DO that all those
who participate In such crimes which
are a violation Of all decency, to say
nothing of law and order, are educated
people though in many instances lead
ers in their respective communities, but
it is nevertheless a fact that the con-
dition of the Negroes who are SO un-
Justly treated il due to a large degree
to the attitude which has been mani
tested towards them. They know no
better because there has been no effort
on the part of those who are so quick
to lynch them. in many cases on the
| frailest OF evidence. to teach them
better. There Is, therefore. less ex-
cuse for the lynchers and upholders
Of mob law than there is for the uned-
ucated and downtrodden man Of black
/ whose color and lack OF opportunity
places him at once under suspicion
| even though he may be innocent.

realize it and devote their efforts as

WILLOW FURNITURE.

To renovate willow furniture, scrub
with a brush. using salt instead of
soap. and rinse thoroughly. Do the
work out of doors If possible where
plenty of water can be used, because
all the salt water must be rinsed off.
When quite dry go over each part
with pure linseed oil. This win soften
the Willow making it more pliablc,
consequently less apt to break when
frightened by the water treatment.
The oil adds considerably to the life
of the furniture as well as improv-
ing it in appearance. In fact, any kind
of basket work will last longer for a
coat of oil. Old rattan chairs can be
made new again by turning them up
side down and scrubbing the sagged
seat with hot water until it is smooth,
and stiff again. and when dry coating
with the oil.
One of the best remedies for re-
moving the unpleasant odor from a
room Is to put lump of ammonia into
a common jar and pour in a few drops
of any perfume on hand. The am
monia will absorb the extract. Then
pour in half a teacup or less Of boil
ing water

JAPANESE DESIGN

II you have a tea set decorated with
a Japanese design. don't fail to get a
traycloth on which realistic japanese
birds and trees are stamped. En-
broider the design in loose darning
stitches, combining black and blue ma
terials. BY securing a pattern which
is tinted you win have less work to
do and the result will be just as sat
isfactory.
Since tea cozies are very much In
prominence, 1t would be advisable for
your china teapot being sure to have
the birds and trees stamped upon the
coy. Should you be unable to secure
coy on which the Japanese design
is stamped you may find two doilies
bearing the design desired. In this
case you can easily make a coy from
the two doilies by joining them to-
gether, allowing them to remain un-
attached for sufficient distance, so
that the cozy can be easily slipped
over the teapot. OF course, a padding
of asbestos must be slipped into the
homemade cozy. Be sure to keep this
fact in mind when selecting doilies,
SO that they will be sufficiently large.

cAjRRANzA's REPLY.

By his reply to the communication
of the representatives of Pan-Amer-
lean governments, Carranza discloses
that he has no intentions of partici-
pating in conference with the rep
resentativeS of the other factions who
are contending for the control of Mex
leo and he displays every confidence
in his ability to establish peace and
reerganize the government under the
plan which he has in mind, and by so
doing taking proper care Of the in
terests of foreigners as well as those
of the Mexican populace. That Car
rama has the best organization and
at the present time is in the best po-
sition to straighten out the tangled
affairs of that republic is to a large
degree substantiated by facts, and his
control is materially strengthened by
the capture of Torreon. 1t is the use
which he has made Of his power and
the continuance of the deplorable con-
ditions of the people in Mexico which
stand out most prominently against
him.
If what he says is so there has been
no time in the past year or two when
he was in a better position to put
Mexico on its feet. That is what
the governments of the other republics
in America desired in promoting the
peace conference and what will be the
object of meeting his representative
in such a conference as he suggests
and which it seems probable will take
place if for no other reason than to
advance the time when peace can be
restored. His turning down of the
proposition submitted by the seven
ENJOYS is only what was anticipated

A POINTER FOR AUSTRIA.

Thus far Austria has not indicated
what its action will be regarding the
notification sent to 1t expressing the
fact that this country no longer con-
siders Ambassador Dumba acceptable
and asking for his recall. That it came
as a surprise in view OF the circum-
stances which brought 1t about can
hardly be expected unless Austria has
gotten the impression that this coun-
try doesn't know when It is imposed
upon and that it is still influenced
by the Bryan declaration to DIR. Dunn
ba that all it's protests were for the
satisfying Of the American mind and
not to be taken seriously abroad.
It is furnished something to think
about, however, by the expression
from The Lisky, Bohemian paper
published in New York. when it says:
I'm the name of our many thousand
readers we herein protest against the
outrageous insult committed by Aus
Hungarian Ambassador DR.. K. i.
Dumba, to the Slavonic people in
America, saying that Slavonic work
men in steel industries are not edu-
Gated. But what is more outrageous,
Dr.. Dumba is trying to disturb peace
between American citizens and In
tended American citizens of foreign
birth against the welfare of their be-
loved adopted country. All Of our
readers of Bohemian and Slovak ma
tionalities (many thousands OF them)
think it Is about time to hand Am
bassador Dumba his passport because
he has made himself unfit In this
country"
That shows no disposition to over
look his fragrant acts and Austria will
do the sensible thing II 1t recalls itf
representative at once and does its
part in. maintaining the friendly re-

MUST ASSUME THE RISK.

Strange as it may seem Germany
continues to cry out against the dam
ger which it's submarines must expe-
rience in endeavoring to put into oper-
alton respect for the idea of giving
warning to steamships which they
propose to sink. 1t finds difficulty In
reconciling the part which 1t should
play under international law which II
participated in making and the pol
icy which 1t has adopted by itself
for the destroying of the commerce
of its enemy. It believes that the
risk which is taken by the under
water boats is too great for it to be
expected that they should lay them
selves open to attack and destruc-
ton.
AS matter Of fact, it is nothing
Of the kind Germany is attempting
to get out of q bad hole in which
it has been placed by the enemy when
it's ships were driven off the seas and
it's navy cooped up in safe haven.
1t understands that 1t would have no
show at all If it attempted to cap
ture and sink the allies ships by
sending out cruisers to do the trick.
1t therefore calls to its assistance
the submarine, which in a certain
sense is a frail craft for such work,
because it possesses the advantage
of being able to dodge out Of sight and
yet it is unwilling to assume the risk
which should be expected when 1t is
necessary to employ such an agency
1t is the type of fighting craft which
Germany is forced to use in getting
out of it's hole and yet 1t figures that
it should be allowed to violate inter-
national law and the rights of human
ity in the pursuit of its course. Ger

cine because it happens to be bitter

NEW LEGISLATION WILL HELP.

In the announcement made by Act
ing Secretary Sweet of the depart
ment of commerce 1t is pointed out
that the war in Europe has advanced
this country to a place second to but
one among the maritime nations of
the world but nothing is palmer than
the conclusion which he reaches that
while this is the situation today it
does not mean that 1t will be per-
manent.
The war has furnished the reason
for the increase in the merchant ma
rine of this country which experienced
an increase of 390,798 gross tons dur
ing the year. There was trade to he
handled which the countries at war
were obliged to abandon and 1t has
been taken up by ships under the
American flag because of the greater
safety which was assured. This coun-
try has been forced to do in the ship
ping line what it has depended upon
to large extent, the merchant ma
rines of other countries to perform.
Even while the war has served to
help the merchant marine of this
country there has been legislation
from within which is going to oper-
ate in a different direction. There are
advantages under the American fac
at the present time, but there are
assurances that they will be handi-
capped by the legislation passed and
under advocacy just as soon as the
war ends. The seamen's bill shows
what has been done to discourage the
merchant marine at home, while the
proposed government ownership o.
steamship lines for competition will
