Some Things the
Soldiers in Europe
Would Like

The Woman's Home Companion
for December prints an editorial in
which the writer says about a wo-
man whom she asked what the
soldiers would need;
"She said, to begin with, that
we couldn't 60 far wrong if we
sent q man a pair of suspenders.
Their suspenders are always wear
ing out!
"Shoe strings would be tremen-
dously appreciated; if a soldiers
shoe string breaks, and his shoe
slips off just as he is running across
a field in a shower of bullets, it
may mean death.
"a candle: if a man can scoop a
tiny hole in the side of the trench,
put his candle into it, light up, and
play game of cards with pal, OF
even look at another human face
life is a little gayer.
Safety pins! DO send safety
pins said Mrs. DurYea. Wien
a boy has no mother at hand tc
sew on a button, think of the COM
fort of safety pin!'
Each packet must have pen
Gil, and some paper and envelopes
so that a man can write a letter
home. A shirt; pipe; a piece Of
Irvine; a box of buttons; cake Of
SOAP"

Board of Supervisors

At the meeting on the 18th inst.
the Board re-enacted an act 1t
passed on the 10th day of October
1916, as to the killing Of skunks
and eoons, making it permissible
for land owners to hunt and kill
the same on their own land, or on
the land of others, where they have
written permission.
The election expenses for Judges
&c for the last election were allowed
amounting to $14S.7O.
gOther accounts for road working
&c. were presented and allowed.
The Board applied to the State
for it's portion of the maintenance
fund to be applied on the Monterey
street and on the Vanderpool road.
This is under an act passed by the
last legislature, and provides for a
maintenance fund from the state
to be applied on all roads the state
has built or rebuilt, the counties to
put up one half the money.
A change of road was directed to
be made near and north of BALDWIN
REYNOLDS, the citizens proposing to
make the change provided the
county would pay the damage for
the land taken to BALDWIN kew
nolds.
The report of the Williams road,
Mcdowell, was received and oil
rected to be filed.
On motion of G. E. Kelley and
A. S. Terry, a commission, VIZ:
Geo. Dudley, Geo. A. Bussard, Z;
Y. Robertson, C. B. Gibbs, and
James M. Ralston, is appointed to
locate a route for a private road
leading from the terminus OF kel-
ley's present road to the Big Valley
road.
A warrant was directed to be
issued on a Joint road fund for
$3.50 % which is one half of the
expense for October, on the town
street work. This is the State
money but it had to be worked
through the county, as though the
county was havingit done, in order
that Monterey might come in for
the State aid; the town of course
puts up the other half.
The state man, K, G. Miller, in
the building of the two bridges
near and east and west Of Monterey
on the pike has saved something
oyer $4,000 on each bridge, over
the States estimate. This will be
paid by the State and thepike fund
half and half,
j. Nc. Gilmore, Conn. of Roads
for Blue Grass district rendered his
resignation as such and Hubert
Smith of Hightown was appointed
in his place, who being present
qualified and entered upon his
duties. 49,
An appropriation of 5000 was
made out of the pike fund, which
is to go with a 5000 from the state
in fixing the bad piece of road
east of the bridge, east of Monterey
The town of Mcdowell was per-
mitted to swing foot bridge to the
Crab Run bridge at Mcdowell.

HE WHOM A DREAM HATH
POSSESSED

He whom dream hath possessed knoweth
no more of doubling,
For mist and the blowing OF winds and
the mOuthing of words he scorns;
Not the sinuous speech of schools he
hears, but a knightly shouting,
And never comes darkness down, yet he
greeteth million morns
He whom dream hath possessed knoweth
no more OF roaming;
All the roads and the flowing of waves
and the speediest flight he knows,
But wherever his feet are set. his soul is
forever homing,
And going, he comes and coming he
heareth call and goes,
He whom dream hath possessed knowsth
no more OF sorrow,
AT death and the dropping OF leaves ana
the fading OF suns he smiles.
For a dream remembers no past and scorns
the desire OF a morrow.
And a dream in sea of doom sets surely
the ultimate isles.
he whom q dream hath possessed treads
the impalpable marshes,
From the dust OF the days long road he
leaps to a laughing star.
And the ruin OF worlds that fall he views
from eternal arches.
And rides Gods battlefield IN = flashing
and golden car.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Other Matters

Cecil Montague's, who becomes indignant
at the mere sight Of book which tells
Overwhelmingly the truth-that In this
country there were many people, IL not q
majority, from 1854 to 1888 who were loyal
to the King of England.
believe that a man can be as good an
American who knows that the American
revolution started 10 years before the out
break in open warfare; that It was charac-
terized by many acts of mob violence in
which the patriots, as distinguished from
the loyalists. were the aggressors; that tine
actual hostilities starting in 1775 were sue
cessful from the American standpoint prin-
cipaly on account of the amazing incom-
petence of the British generals; that as
far as atrocities were concerned both sides
were guilty and there was little to choose
between them in this regard, and that the
treatment of the Loyallsts after the war
was very grave mistake, and is now
universally acknowledged to be such by
every one who has studied the subject and,
finally. that no one can read the history of
the American Revolution without feeling
that American success was due to the pres
ence OF one very great man-Washngton-
and an astounding amount OF good fortune
which may not attend us in our next war
If Americans knew the truth of Ameri-
can history. there would be less silly hatred
of England and a more earnest desire to
guide our present military policies away
from the mistakes of the past.

THE LESSON OF HISTORY

tague on what he calls hyphenated Ameri-
canism; and apparently the Free Library
of Philadelphia is guilty of this crime be.
cause in the history section it contains
some volumes on the "Ioyalists of Amer
lea"
Now, any reader of American history
knows that the LoyalIsts OF America were
a very real fact and factor in the days of
the Revolution and the stormy decade pre-
ceding, and therefore volumes on their his
tory are not out OF place in any library
dealing with American history-just as
Nero, Caligula, Attila and Pontius PLATE
ON the one hand and Caesar Alexander,
Alfred the Great and Washington on the
other, all have their place in the history of
the world, whatever our private opinion
Of them may be.
Ceoil Montague's letter is chiefly inter.
estlng, however, in this. that It touches a
very general weakness in the information
of the average American, to wit, his sur
prlsing misinformation relative to Amer
lean history. and particularly the history
of the American Revolution. This is due
as textbooks in our schools are not at all
accurate-they suppress important facts and
give undue Importance to trihes. Add to
this our spread-eagle oratory and our twist
ing of the lions tail--what has become, by
the way of the old-fashioned orator who
used to tell us on Fourth OF Julys that
America could slick the world"?-add this
kind OF oratory and We get opinions like

mirable spirit. 1t has been worth coming
to Italy to see once more how great

Dental brow, were 1t of brass Is It?
One wonders Nobody one meets is taken

imagine the whole world is an immense

includes a large proportion of the free and
intelligent voters Of the United States, and
perhaps these speeches are only intended to
help along his reelection. II that is the
reason could you not spare our sensitive

THE HARRISON ACT

The decision of the Supreme Court, af-
firming the ruling Of the western Pennsyl-
vania Circuit Court In the Harrison drug
act case. indicates a serious defect In the
law. Under this Interpretation the law
can reach only those who deal in opium
not, as the prosecution contended. any per-
son having the drug In his possession. JUS
tlee Holmes In delivering the majority opin-
ion, Justices Hughes and Pitnsy dissenting
said 1t would not do to strain the powers
OF the United States almost, II not entirely
to the breaking point by making 1t a Grim
inal offense for any person to have opium
in his possession, unless the wording OF
the statute made any other Interpretation
untenable. The law. as 1t stands, Is dl-
rected against any person dealing In the
drug who is not registered. There was no
allegation in the indictment IN this case
that the drug was TO be dealt In and the
majority OF the court held that the act
was SO worded as to include only those
who failed TO register as dealers.-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.

II there Is one departmsn

If there Is one department of the
city administration which can face a
deficit with indifference, almost with
pride. that is the Board OF Education.
The deficit should never result from
reckless expenditure nor from misguided
enthusiasm, to be sure. There is no rea.
son why the affairs of the board should
not be subject to business methods. But
the Board of Education is one upon
which demands never cease. The mum.
Der OF students is continually growing,
their housing Is ever more spacious,
their instruction more versatile as year
follows year. The standards of educa-
ton rise faster than the tax rate, and
the ideals OF housing, OF the proper pro.
portion of teachers to pupils. OF the oppor.
tunities which should be offered In the
public curriculum, exceed by far the
imaginations OF those who merely pay.
So Il Is natural that the board now Is
met with a deficit of 100000. Before the
year Is out that amount will itself seem
trivial So far no evidence has been
addueed that the money appropriated was
III spent. II that record is kept up the
members OF the board need not fear the
eensure OF the intelligent
