keep their tongues clean and refrain

A Comparison of Wars.

1t has become quite a fad among
the uniformed and unthinking to re-
fer to our civil war as a mere skir-
mish in comparison with the titanic
European struggle. Nevertheless,
though the number of men engaged
in the European war far exceeds the
total in our war between the states.
the European battle casualty lists
are surprisingly light, compared
with those of the American conflict.
The January English figures give the
total ca sualties ofsthe British ftseea
Ias 549,467 after 16 months of war.
This is less than l per cent of the
white population of the British EN-
pire. The white population of the
COnfederacy in our Civil War was
5,500,000. In three days fighting
at Gettysburg they lost 10000 or
nearly four tenths of one per cent OF
the total white population-nearly
half as much proportionately to the
population as the total British losses
in the first sixteen months of the pres
ent war. Estimates in the German
losses in killed and mortally wound
ed up to January vary from 100000
up. At this figure the loss would be
slightly less than one per cent of tine
total DODulatiOn Of Germany His.
torians have estimated that in 0hl
Civil war the Union losses from
death, plus total disabilities from di
sease, were about 2h per cent of the
population. Ours was not such al
insignificant little affair, after ALL
Carroll Times.

TOWN BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT.
Every Mans House is His Castle.
Let Us All Cooperate in Making
Our City Beautiful.

| The street cleaners may pick up
every scrap of paper. Householders
may rake and comb their neatly
trimmed lawns. But If the people OF
a town persist in maintaining ugly
buildings, the town will always Of
fend people Of good taste.
Our laws preserve jealously the
rights of the individual. Every mans
house is his castle. If he sees At to
|Laint it q shouting combination Of
blue, purple, anil orange, he can dc
it. The law can not interfere. Many
advanced reformers demand a closer
regulation of the development OF prt-
vate property. They would have
plans for any prospective building in
spected in advance by building COM
mission. which should have power to
reject anything that would lower the
appearance of the town.
Much can be said for sucn an idea
Yet when you consider how munich
pal office is filed, how the politicians
would enjoy serving on sucn a COM
mission, with its possible chances OF
graft, proposals for any such regula-
ltiOn will go very slow.
People who contemplate any kind
Of building should consider not mere
ly the costs and income OF it, bat its
effect on the town as a whole. A
iimsy structure of tin and gingei-
bread does more harm than it's tax
es are worth. The worst Offenders
are not always the cheap builders.
Some men who invest large sums of
money, erect fiorid and conspicuous
structures that are ridicuIously un-
fit. If such builders could hear the
remarks of their neighbors, they
would need no regulation by build
ing commissions.
A building dating back to a towns
early history often stands long after
its use has past. Paint judiciously
applied will at least make it incon-
spicuotis. If it is not worth a good
coat of paint, it isn't worth standing.
II 1t has any appearance of being
ramshackle. it Injuries nearby real

Twenty years ago it was easy to

services for the Sabbath preceding
Memorial day, and that the comrades
will attend in a body some church
for that purpose. AS is now the
universal custom, General Logan's

will be read at all Memorial day ex-

An Idea For Dragging.

AT the regular meeting of the
trustees of Dover township it was de-
cided to compel every man who drags
a township road to carry a shovel ON
his drag and fill every rut as he
comes to it. Road superintendent is
instructed to see that his order is car
ried out and no payment will be made
to draggers who fail to comply with
the order. This step on the part OF
the trustees appears to be a good step
in the right direction and we hope
that other townships in this county
will make provision of the same
kind. 1t Is the neglected fut In the
