THE PRESIDENT AND PEACE

President Wilson looks at the Ger
man proposal Of peace just as this
paper regarded it-not as a specific
expression to be insisted upon, but
merely as an opportunity for an in.
terchange OF sincere opinion. The
president simply desires that the con-
aicting nations should reach the real
issue, which has not yet been framed
in words Thus far, all conditions Of
peace are buried in terms of hate.
They should get away from that and
be frank enough to state what 1t is
all about.
When they do that, there is hope
Of peace, and not only of peace now,
but ever after. President Wilson is
not strong for a transient peace. He
wants to drive war from the planet,
and that can be done If the militar-
lists and contractors don't hamper and
obstruct him, which they are all the
time doing. A lasting peace is in
sight and will be reached if General
Wood and Secretary Daniels do not
block the way. The presidents
course is likely to bring to the front
the only really great issue Of the
war-and that is, the absolute aboli-
ton of all war.-Ohio State Journal.

OHIO STATE GRANGE
Takes Action For ProhibitiOn-Urges

Stand For the Home
N. E. Cor. Main and Fayette SITS.

The following stringent resolutions
were adopted by nearly 1000 dele
gates and visitors in attendance at
the session of the Ohio State Grange
at Newark last week:
Whereas, The governments of Eu-
rope have demonstrated that nation
wide Prohibition laws are essential in
maintaining the high level of military
and economic efficiency:
Whereas, 1t is the sense of the
Ohio state grange that if nationwide
Prohibition is necessary for the ma
tiOns of Europe, as a war measure,
it is more essential in this time of
peace in our own beloved country that
we have nationwide Prohibition for
the protection of our young manhood
and womanhood.
Reslved, That Ohio state grange in
dorses the movement now on foot for
re-submission to the electorate of
Ohio of the statewide Prohibition
amendment.
Resolved, That we favor the joint
resolution which will be presented to
the Congress of the United States this
session, calling for the submission to
the several states for an amendment
to the federal constitution, prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of in
toXicating liquors as a beverage.
Whereas, Certain newspapers have
discontinued liquor advertisements
and many more announce their in
tention to discontinue such ads after
January l, 1917, therefore, be ia
Resolved, That we urge our mem
bership to patronize only such news
papers as stand out as defenders of
the home and against that greatest
enemy Cf our people, the un-American
saloon, regulated, licensed saloon;
and Furthermore, we urge that our
membership use their influence to in
duce all farmers of the state to sub
scribe only for such papers as stand
by the best interests of the family,
the state and the nation.

LOGICAL RESULTS OF EXISTING

TCincinnati Enquirerl

Reactions in the stock markets do
not supply European populations
with foodstuffs.
Tha job remains for the farmers
of the United States.
Heavy falls in the prices of war
bride" securities or in the prices or
values of interests in munitiOn fac
tories, give European consumers no

cotton, or copper, or coal
Conscription of the few remaining
miners, farmers and laborers in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia,
Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key will but decrease the yields of
the lands of those countries in 1917
New issues of bonds, of notes, of
other evidences of Indebtedness by
the belligerent countries are but add
ing to the taxes upon the manufac-
turers and other business men of the
nations which issue, handicapping
them for years in the future compe-
tition for the commerce of the world
These are self-evident facts, and,
in the face of these facts, in full con-
sideration of their compelling infiu-
ence upon business of the United
States at home and abroad, there can
be logically but the one conclusion,
viz, that the profitable activities in
this country are certain to continue
for year after the war in Europe
closes
The cultivators of the lands in the
United States, by producing the very
largest possible of yields Of the crops
during 1917, can enrich themselves
while advancing the interests of this
country and doing the greatest good
to the famine-stricken people of Eu-
rope.
1t is a combination which should
stimulate to the utmost effort every
farmer and planter in the United
States.
To a greater degree than ever be-
fore in our history as a nation does
it rest with the agriculturalists not
only to maintain prosperity, but to
send it soaring to very high records
throughout the entire republic.

PROGRESSIVE IDEAS CONTROL
THE REPUBLIC
LThe Cincinnati Enquirerl

ne OluCluudll AAhA ia u
The last Presidential election es-
tablished the supremacy of progress
sive political sentiment in treatment
of national affairs.
The majorities for Hiram Johnson
in California, for LaFolette in Wis
consin, the loss of New Hampshire,
the closeness of Main, the loss of
Ohio, Utah, Colorado. and Washing
ton, surely have impressed this upon
Republicans, and the Baltimore con-
venton of 1912, as well as the con-
ventions of 1896, 1900 and 1908, left
the reactionaries of the Democratic
party without any hope of control
when the rank and file of the party
are appealed to.
The Bourbons in each party, those
men who learn nothing from events
and forget none of their prejudices
or erroneous ideas, these men are no
longer of force or power in political
life, but must adopt the progressive
views and become progressives or
take their places in the "Down-and-
Out Club" of politicians.
There may be, there will be, new
issues as between political parties in
this country, but both parties Will
take progressive views on the new is
sues.
The tendency of public thought is
toward utilization Of governmental
powers more directly for the advance
ment of public interest, and this is
true in national as well as IN state
and municipal affairs.
There is a lessening of personal
consideration and an increase in com
munity and general public consider
alton.
Twenty years have transformed
and forty years have revolutlonlzed
the utilization of the Government in
serving private or class interests.
The masses of the people now un-
derstand the Government was created
to advance and to protect the inter
ests of all the people, not of clique
nor a class. They know the Gov
ernment possesses the right and the
power to call for the life Of the citi-
zen if necessary to save or serve the
country, and to use the property of
one and all for the same national
purposes.
The Government is for the people
and by the people, and is becoming
every year less the master and more
the servitor of the people.
1t only lives by serving. 1t would
cease to exist if it ceased to serve.

WRITE TO MOTHER
[Beverly DIspatchl

Some few days ago | saw a white
haired mother go up to the window
at the postonlce and ask for her mail.
There was a tremor OF expectancy in
her voice. The lady at the window
looked through a great pack of letters
and then said. politely and with a
smile, Nothing for you" The old
gray-haired mother turned slowly
and sadly wended her way out
through the storm doors, into the
cold world, and to the freside of the
old home.
Here l get out of the word picture,
but to a neighbor who called on her
she said, 81 guess Willie is too busy
to write" Good old mother, always
hopeful.
Again | heard of this mother and
again and again she went to the
postofIice for two long weeks, some
times saw her, and at last the letter
came.
When it was handed her the faded
eyes sparkled and joy lit up the care
worn face as she tore open the letter.
1t was a brief one but it told her
what she wanted to know Willie
was well and getting along all right.
There was happiness in mothers
heart that day and she hummed an
old song of her childhood hours as
she went about her humble home.
Willie finds only time to write
few lines to mother about once in two
months. But he has plenty of time
to write three or four long letters to
girls of his choice, or fancy, several
times a week. If mother is so happy
over receiving a few brief lines every
two months, how would it be if Willie
could find time to write her a long
letter once a month and occasionally
send her a few flowers, a box of
sweet-meats, or some little keepsake.
Willie does not mean it, but he is
so careless. So are many of the
boys when mother is the issue, with
the long hours and silent tears be-
cause of it.
Boys-it don't make any difference
how old you are, you are always a
boy to your mother-just drop line
to mother once in while, she is your
one great friend, she is with you al
ways, long after the rest of the world
has turned you down, there's mother.

"A WORKINGMAN" MADE HIS
POINT

A Pittsburgh paragrapher wrote
and printed this:
Has working girl who pays $40
for pair of shoes got sense enough
to vote?"
A correspondent, signing himself
"A Working Man." wrote and sent to
the paTagrapher the following with a
challenge to print it as his own
Has a working man with family
to support, who pays $40 for whisky,
got sense enough to vote?"
To the credit of the paragrapher, it
is to be said that he printed the con-
tributed paragraph, with due explain
alton and an apology for the first. 1t
was too good retort to be suppress
ed and he was fundamentally too just
to wish to allow remark born in

A call came into police station that
a murder had been committed in the
South End. Several policemen hur-

found:
In an old dilapidated structure,
that had long since been abandoned,
were some 10 or 12 children, half
clad, bare-Iegged, in the night air.
Inside the ricIkety structure, on the
floor, lay bOdy-that of the mother
of those little bare-legged, half-clad
children. In another room two big
policemen were guarding the father.
The room showed evidence of q quar-
rel, but most conspicuous Of all, about
three feet from the mothers body lay
an empty whisky bottle. This COM
