We are rD~cibly reminded Of these
duties ana Of the inadeCu2cy OF our
defenses by the conditions In Mexico
today.
We have been tolerant-al:nost in.
different~~to the demands OF our own
people for protection, while rowing.
plundering brigands, who call them
selves generals, have dehod our au-
thority and laughed at our protests.
During this time had we been able to
assemble upon the Mexican border
100, 900 men, backed by determined
government, does anyone believe these
things would have occurred?
We have not sufficient munitions,
aerOplaneS, muntiOn factories, trans
portation facilities and army equip
ment. Our navy Is third or fourth
among the naVies of the world powers
and practice; our fastest ships are
slower than some of the German shir
destroyed In the North Sea because
they had not sufficient speed. We have
practically no efficient submarines and
not sufficient coast defenses. War Is
now carried on with scientific. compli
Gated machinery. To handle this ma
chlnery, men must be drilled and edu'
Gated In its use, and officers must have
long experience. We have not sum
cient officers TO man an army OF any
considerable size. We should have an
ADEQUATE number OF trained officers
sufficient aer0planes, transportation
facilities and munition factories ready
to supply the nations wants, modern
battle cruisers, submarines and coast
defenses.

GREAT LABOR WAR COMING.

The United States is facing the possibility of one of the greatest test
labor wars Of history. If their demands are not complied with
when presented on March If they are presented about $4,000
railroad men, conductors, engineers, freroen and tralnmen may
quit work, practically tying up the commercial and therefore the
whole industrial life of the nation.
For the first time in history, the four great labor organizations
which embrace practically every man in the railroad industry are
working in unison. They dernanda shortening of the working day
from ten to eight hours, and the payment of so per cent additional
for overtime.
A vote is being taken on the proposition at the present time.
1t is said that this vote is overwhelmingly in favor of the increased
compensation, with a strike as the alternative.
The rail- Dads maintain that as their rates are regulated by law
and therefore their revenue is limited, many of them would be
forced into bankruptcy by this increased demand for connpensa-
ton, which would mean a big annual increase in the amount re-
ceived by the railroad workers.
Already some of the commercial journals of the east are taking
up the cudgels in behalf of the railroads. One paper goes as far
as to say:
"The railroads cannot accept the new labor demands without
bankruptcy or corporate success. In the unfortunate controversy
thus precipitated on the country, both sides are firm. The en-
pioyees' associations are among the most vigorous, the most intel
jigent, and hitherto, the most conservative of labor organizations.
The railroad companies esnbody the industrial energy of the union.
If a satisfactory basis of adjustment is not reached, we shall wit
ness a war at home that may not be as bloody as that ABROAD, out
which may be almost as devastating in it's effects"
Railroad men feel that they are entitled to a share Of the tidal
wave of prosperity that has swept over the industrial life of the
nation as a result of the European war.-Grand Forks Herald.

CALM UNDER FIRE.

The proudest moment in the life of
a soldier is to have it reported that he
was calm under fire" The soldier
delights in his success in battle when
he succeeded without finching.
The same is true of the avarage man.
"A man would rather have most any
charge made against him than to say
lie Is excitable, Incorporate, ungov-
ernable, unstrung-not normal being.
But this is what we have. A cool
head and cool brain is synonymous
with success and without it-there is
failure.
Self-control-the greatest virtue in
the makeup of all, is the topic in the
following short paragraph from the
dublin Courier Herald:
The Savannah Morning News draws
most timely moral from the remark
able trial of G. w. Lott who was re-
Gently found guilty for the murder of
his son. In reference to a we'll known
falling among Georgians, and, perhaps,
all Southerners, the Morning News
comments as follows:
Too many Georgians are too
quick to appeal to the shotgun or
the pistol to settle disputes, even
over trivial matters. Too many of
them, in the heat of sudden pas
sion are ready to take part in
lynchings More hears that stay
cool are one of Georgia's greatest
needs"

ANOTHER INITIATION.

Since the United States Supreme
Court has decided that the requisition
from Georgia for Victor lines and his
wife, in Texas, is legal and should be
honored, the newspaper dispatches
carry the intimation that the defend
ants will make a basis for further
court delay by insisting that they can
not secure fair trial in Georgia
This is not the only incident where
the same charge is laid at Georgia's
feet. Georgia is a proud and good
state, but certainly a grave reflection
is being cast upon her people and her
courts by these statements.
Can it now be said that Georgia has
not partly brought this upon herself?
Who is responsible?
The people elect from their own
equals the men who make our laws;
fro our courts and choose. the pro-
ceedure. The people themselves sit on
the juries-the ury jbox is supposed
tc be the choicest class Of citizenry in
every county.
Where is the trouble? There is a
wrong and an evil somewhere. But can
the people blames the courts-are they
themselves not the court, the jury and
the law.
Stern reason; steady action; sane
courses-Georgia has come to this.
The state needs men who are intelli-
gent enough to realize the right course
ana nave strength of character and
knowledge sufficient to follow the die
tates of the law, their conscience and
their God.

ficent victory firmly placed him in
the presidential chair. The people of
various states elect their senators, and
the voters of the. several districts
chose their congressman.
But an entire nation holds the pres
ident to account. He is the guiding
hand of our destiny. The people do
not want congress to interfere with his
policy, and before they will submit to
it the day of reckoning will come at
the polls.
TheUnited States does not want war,
but she will surely have war if hun
dreds of would-be presidents and men
in their own estimation far wiser than
the gods themselves attempt to
remedy the situation. The people may
chide about human life, the Lusitania
and the fragrant errors of the presi-
lent and his state department-but
they don't want war If war comes
though, they will fight until the last
drop Of blood cleanses the freedom of
mankind from the clutches of despot-
ism.
But a wise head guides our course,
and the people do not want his lanes of
travel interferred with.
The president of the United States
may not have the technical power to
declare war, but he certainly can bring
the affairs of the nation as they regard
international questions, in to such a
position as to make war irresistible
and sure.
America wants peace with honor
al there may be such thing as "too
proud to fight" the United States
is not, and President Wilson neither.
Our own friends are rocking the
boat" William Jennings Bryan could
not swerve it; and Lindley NJ. Gar
rison did not The pilot is tried and
true, and let him alone.

STORM Is BREWING.

The storm against the foreign policy
of President Wilson is brewing within
his own ranks. Men of his own party
are creating disturbances This is
borne out by the attitude of democrat
iC members of the foreign relations
committee, and the resolution of Sen
ator Gore, of Oklahoma.
But the public don't expect any less.

OUR FUTURE STAND.

The United States is a neutral nation
as far as the European conflict is con-
cerned. so far as the legal phase is
known. But there are many consersa-
tive and wise people who insist t1at
our country is not neutral Technically
we may be neutral, but morally it is
insisted that we are not.
The basis of this assertion is he
statement that any person who aids
and abets an unlawful thing by furnr-
ishing the means Off its continuance
is an accessory. Actually we are 40
ing this by feeding the entente allies
with munitions and other arms Of war.
Technically We may be within the law
within the meaning of international
law. Morally, we are unneutral.
This country may be right in the
.bourse which she is pursuing so far as
people believe that America is attempt
lug to thwart the assaulting desires of
other nations. But as we stand be-
tween the two forces; with out face
full and square to the four winds of
the earth; with malice towards none
and charity for ALL" are we neutral?
This situation and the probable view
which Germany and her allies will
take when the hositilities cease, will
have much to do with our future. If
Germany chooses this view-and there
IS no reason why she should not, then
VIC stand as an ally of the entente
fcrces-and not a neutral, friendly to
both sides.
The prosperity of the present finance
may resound through the streets of
the munition cities, which have sprung
up over night, but a muffled drum beat
awaits the cessation of hostilities. The
workmen who are earning their full
time, with powder and iron mills
working day and night, will be idle
when the last shot is fired. Yes, there
will be demand for machinery and
other necessities in the warning coun-
tries after the war, and the United
States will share in this trade. But
how much fit Germany and her
allies will certainly not buy any more
than she is forced. The entente allies
will have financially crisis unlike any
other condition before in their history.
Their government bonds may be moth
ing but paper; the specie may be
crushed.

FOREMAN OF BIG PLANT SAYS
"TANLAC MADE NEW WOMAN OF
MY WIFE AND SHE HAS GAINED
FIFTEEN POUNDS"

M WIFE AND SHE Has UAANED
FIFTEEN POUNDS"
The public of today is accustomed
to strange and unusual occurrences,
and the newspapers are filled with
sensation after sensation, but in spite
of this the statement of Mr.. w. w.
Smith regarding the remarkable re-
covery of his wife, whom he had given
UP to be an invalid the rest of her
days, would hardly be believed were
it not for the high character of MIR.
Smith, foreman for the Kruger Mfg.
Co., of Atlanta, and the further fact
that each and every circumstance can
be established beyond a reasonable
doubt, Mr.. Smiths address is Box 159,

Il am a happy man." he said after
completing his remarkable statement,
and I'll stand up to every word I've
said and more, too. Just send them to
me-"
Following is the recital of facts in
Mr.. Smiths own words:
My wife was so weak she could not
walk and she could not leave her chair
or bed without help-in-fact l had given
her up to be an invalid the rest of her
life. She spent most of the time in
her chair and had done so for years.

that's why it seems so astonishing that
Wour bottles of Tanlac could make her

again.
Her main trouble was rheumatism,
but she seemed to be in bad condition
iu many ways. She had headaches and
was very nervous all the time, which
kept her from resting well at night
Her liver was sluggish and inactive
and she mad continual pains over the
kidneys. Nothing we could do seemed
to relieve her of the tired, languid
feeling that was with he'd all the time.
and I feared that she was entirely be-
yond the reach of medicine.
Besides all this, her stomach was
out of order and she would have bill
ious spells, followed by constipation.
and then diarrhea.
Strong testimonials from people I
know to be reliable gave me a little
hope that Tanlac would help my wife
and make her feel better, even if it did
not cure her-for somehow 1 had got
ten to the point that l could not be-
lieye anything would relieve her en-
tirely. But certainly feel different
about it now, for she has taken four
bottles and l consider her we'll Hon.
estly, she don't seem like the same wo-
man.
She goes about cheerful and happy
and feels strong and good. 1 would
not take $1,000 for what it has done for
her. l recommend Tanlac because of
what it has done for my wife. 1t is
