FACING DEATH.


The vast majority of young men re-
fused admission to the army on the
score Of i'll health have themselves to
blame. Thru personal habits they
have inflicted disabilities that. had
they been gained facing death" while
wearing the uniform of the the United
States would have entitled them to
pension of s12 or more. per month. II
married and the fathers Of minor chill
dren, their widows and orphans would
have something to show for facing
death in case they died. Their fam!-
lies and friends would have cause at
least for patriotic pride il they faced
death under the Stars and Stripes.
There is little excuse for oratory and
heroic obituaries at the funeral Of the
young man who has killed himself by
habits Of long standing, and his grave
is not decorated on Memorial Day at
the expense and by the command Of
distillers, the tobacco trust or the pro-
prietors of death dispensing places OF
any form.

DEMOCRATIC HOPE

ITrundy County DemOcrat.J
A republican of Melrose township
made the statement few days ago
that Harding would not get dozen re-
publican votes from that township for
governor. The wet and dry issue has
always cut a big figure at the general
elections in that township. The issue
this year is more acute out there than
it ever has been before and this repub-
lican probably knew what he was talk
ing about when he gave the estimate
of the wet candidate for governors vote
out there

almost too much, however, to hope that
a clash of arms can be put off for any
considerable time. There are so many
things that, can happen along the bor-
der, especially with the tempers OF
both Americans and Mexicans at the
swapping point, one must be optimistic
indeed to imagine that permanent
peace is assured simply because Presi-
dent Carranza has changed his mind
again. 1t would be mistake for the
war department to allow his latest note
to lessen its activity in border prep
arationS."

cars slid off the grade in one or two
places and either had to be pulled out
or left there until Monday.
