Though the public eye may be TO-

nevertheless.
Both Hughes and Wilson had min

Statistics estimate that the cost of
the second year of the European war
will be $33, 200, 900, 100000. How we'd
like to have that wad.
n n n
President Wilson is a newlywed,
and Mr.. Hughes wife selects his neck
ties for him, and between the two the
suffragettes ought to take heart and
buck up.
Some men arise from the slums,
make a few dollars, and then look
down upon the source from which
they sprung. Their heads just can't
hold them.
"War is hell" to quote a noted gen.
eral. But we would rather have war
with honor than to bask in the sun
light of peace at the price of our ma
tional soul.
Who will say now that a corpora
ton has no patriotism or 'soul? Many
of the large ones of the country are
paying their National Guard employ
ees their full salaries while they are
on the border or in Mexico.
