PRAYER IN WAR.

It seems almost sacrilege to the real Christian to hear of soldiers kneeling in prayer to the Almighty, and then before the ethereal vibra tions have ceased, murdering an op- poneat at the command of some supe- rior. It Is this kind of religious farce which holds the world back and makes agnostics. When God made the world he evidently had no inten tion of having nations fence 1t off and put up trespass signs. This re- mained for man to do. With the sol diers of each nation praying to a Su- preme Being and prelates rolling up their sleeves and wading into their opponents It looks to an outsider as if something was askew in the uni- verse.

A LITTLE PREACHING

Bishop Berkeley's belief that only souls. finite minds and God have a real existence. Is too far advanced for the prosy everyday world to grasp. The grouping of all that Is best In a community or congregation of peo- pie has long been sough: by those who seek to better conditions. but It's attainment has been defeated by the grosser minds of the materialists. The time will come when nothing that Is bad can survive; when the line of demarca.ion between the good a man does and the good he intends to do will be merged into the lives of those around him. It Is impossible that present conditions can survive. The dominance of the dollar Is too mark
 ed upon our lives. More time should
 be taken in arts. sciences. music. anl

The British black list" sounds Cor rn" able. It has usually beea coup;.j in our disaptches with the interference With our mails by Great Britain. t:ey were thus coupled because both have been the subject of diplomatic exchanges between the United States and Great Britain. No relation exists otherwise and they are as differen: as black from white so far as our aa- tional dignity is concerned. Our pur- pose at present Is to write briefly of the meaning of the so-called black list.
 The black list simply consists of a list of firms doinlg business in neutral countries whom all Britishers are for. bidden 70 have any relations with. They are neither to buy of nor sell to these firms. The prohibition Is merely a domestic law applicable to subjects of Great Britain. There are some eighty firms or persons domiciled In the United States which ara on this ust

The British foreign office roughly divides the firms blacklisted under four heads: First 0erman firms. with head offices In Germany; second. German firms incorporated in the United States and therefore technical ly American: third. Americans who are sole agents for enemy firms resi- dent in enemy country: and. fourth. hrms using 0 telegraph code for an enemy interest
 or this blacklis. Senator Simmoaz. of the finance committee of the Uni. ted States senate says: There Is no doubt that Great Britain has a right to tell her clI4eas they cannot trade with Germans, and 1 also beheve she is withIa her rights when she puts a ban an cIuzens ot d neutral coun- try." EYen so good a German as Herman A. Metz. d leading nnpor.ei o1 Sl~4l4l..n Gy os, says: "An~re isnt :, SiiilNOM or d Fasnt 10 KICK upout tnAS blacklist :hlng."
 mus it appears that the blacklis. as stated by Great Britain IS per fec.y proper regulatIons-so long a it applies only to Brush subjects ana their trade with neulrals. This may be called the primary blacklist
 There is another, or secondary, as- pect of the matter which becomes our affair at once and this is when Great Britain refuses to allow her subjects to trade with neutrals who have any business relations with those firms on her blacklist. This is not only perni- cious but foolish, as It may be ex- tended ad infinitum until all firms are cluded under Britains ban. By treaties with Great Britain our cit- zens are protected in their right ot trade freely with her subjects and If we stood for our rights, as we easily have the power to do, Brltain's sec- ondary application of the blacklist would not for long have any author ity.
 The British foreign Office Is no. strongly insisting on the secondary blacklist which would mean that any American firm trading with German, Austrian, or Turkish firm would lose the right of trade with English deal- CTS. Should she do so and carry the principle to its logical end all Amer ican firms would be denied the trade with British firms which they are guaranteed by treaty. That Is to say Britain would thus wave aside by war order in council a solemn treaty entered into by the two nations. And Britain3 excuse for entering the war was to make a treaty honored. The New York Times firds the blacklist quite the most tactless, foolish and unnecessary act of the British gov eInInent uurlhS tHe WAT. ~ uoeS no good to the allies and in its ex- tension comes perilously near to breaking her commercial treaty with us.
 Referring to our ability to place an embargo on food and munitions to the allies the New York World says, "The power of this country to lrflict injury upon England Is so enormous that we can only feel amazement at the folly of a ministry which. by its misuse of sea power. seems deliberately to have invited retaliation

EMOTIONS.

Emotions are what you have when yuu gre all stirred up; for example. ,hel I.u are in love or when a note which Nou have previously forgotten suddenly falls due. Also. when you ttink you are writing poetry and nen you are leading one who Is rtacticelly total stranger up to an ,.ltar, where. by previous arrange ment and design you have stationed a gentleman with power to cause you Il. he future trouble than you have ever dreamed of. Sclenee tells us that someil ing cannot come out of noth- lng. yet emotions seem to do this A calm. placid lady. whom you have known and trusted for years will suddenly have emotions which will create an area of di5:urba nee ex- tending for miles in all directions. Emotions are felt, but not seen.

Krebs Booze Gets
Mo. P. in Trouble

The Missouri Pacific Railway COM
pany has been made the defendant in
an action brought by District Attor-
ney ]. w. Davidson, charging VIOLA
tion of the prohibition law as regards
common carriers. Information has
been filed in the district court here
against certain officials Of the road.
1t is alleged that the railroad violated
the law when it accepted for shipment
into this state barrel Of whiskey
which had been Grated and not pro-
perly marked. :.
The barrel of whiskey is that of
the famous" Krebs case which was
up for hearing in the county court
recently. Unusual activities on the
part of the railroad officials in the
defense of the case is said to have
caused the action to be bought.

Jail Doors Swing
Open--It's Empty

For the first time in the history of
Crowley county the jail is empty or
was empty at least Monday of this
week when the last and lone pris-
oner walked from its doors. The
question is does not the fact that the
state is dry have some bearing on the
lack of prisoners.
When Crowley county was created
1t inherited some county prisoners as
a part of the "spoils" thru the divis-
ion of Otero county. Ever since that
time there have been men behind the
county bars. The county was Great
ed August 6, 1911. The state went
dry January 1, 1916. The Jail was
emptied April 10, 1916. The pro-
hibition drought evidently is getting
to the stage where crime seeds are
slow to sprout.

Snedeker Promises
Few improvements

Superintendent J. E. Snedeker of
the Missouri Pacific railway system
has promised some changes in the
operation of affairs along the line in
eastern Colorado, especially beneficial
to the towns in this county.
Mr.. Snedeker will have the local
freight made up in the yards in Pu-
eblo with the caboose set at Union
avenue, both ingoing and outgoing.
thus avoiding persons desiring to take
the local freight the trouble of search
ing thru the yards to find it. 1t will
also eliminate long walk.
More help is to be put on at the
Ordway depot, an experienced man to
be furnished Agent Dannelley.
Especial pains are to be taken to
report train schedules.
Wider streets are to be made
wherever the traffic necessitates.
Unsightly places on the property are
to be cleaned up and holes filled up.
Loaded freight cars are to be given
position in the yards SO shippers
will not have to chase all over the
yards at different times of the day
to unload material, as they have been
compelled to do in the past, and nu-
merous other things are to be brought
about.
Mr.. Snedeker was here Wednesday
and met with the business men of
Ordway at hastely called meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and
at which practically every business
in town was represented. He made
a frank talk outlining his position
and assuring his patrons thAt he
would do everything possible to take
care of their business. He paid tri-
butte to President Bush of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway, stating that Mr..
Bush was one of the greatest railway
presidents in the country today. "He
lis doing everything in his power to
put the great system on its feet and
is expending all the money he can
possibly get hold of for improve
lments," said Mr.. Snedeker, land IL
the people who are patrons of the
road will but have patients they will,
before long. have railway system
that is PRIDE"
The Missouri Pacific is now in the
hands of receiver but during this
time it will undergo certain changes
which will bring it into reorganiza-
tion q better road than it was when
the receivers took charge, according
to this official, and he cited the Santa
Fe System as an illustration. The
great changes for the good of the
road both to stockholders and patrons
were made when that road was in
receivership a number of years ago.
AS for a depot, or depots, the peo-
pie of Ordway and Sugar City will
have to content themselves for the
time being with efforts to secure
them rather than having them built.
They are needed and will be built,
but the question is when. From what
may be cleaned from various railway
officials they would like to give these
towns better depot facilities and will
as soon as they are able to do so.
