there are a great many people VINO
think they know more than President
Wilson, whose wonderful brain Is load
ed with the facts of the war situation,
and our nations conditions. His place is
one requiring almost superhuman wis
dom and endurance. And yet, every
little 2X4 editor of a nondemocratic,
PARTISAN paper will nuently tell us what
our presidents thoughts are what his
motives are ana why.
And another set of critics eXerting
their American privilege of freedom
Of speech" will presume to measure
the brain and heart actions Of our big
Theodore Roosevelt, the man who
Possesses more actual knowledge of
this beautiful, resourceful, troubled
world of ours than any other man.
The measure of this great American
stoatesman can not be taken by pygmy
politicians.
No loyal American should care to
hear slurs cast on Bryan, for Bryan
stands for something in our nation
that all Of us should be proud OF. We
should rejoice and be glad that out
Of the stress and turmoil our nation
has produced this man of oratory,
ldeallsm and poetic sentiment.
Our nation composed as 1t Is of ming
ling bloods, barely assimilated, can
hardly expect the loyalty that Is found
In other nations, but in these days can
any American lack love for this land,
or care to exchange nationality? The
great duty now for voters, both men
and women is to become reliably In
formed not merely through partisan
papers where ones views can hardly
help but become distorted, but through
reliable reports Of heads of depart
ments, statistics, etc.
This year bids fair to develop greater
distortions Of facts and motives than
ever before, therefore it Is up to us to
prove all things as far as we can and
hold fast that which appears to us out
of cloud and fog as the good, honest
facts
Those who oppose preparedness are
pleased to refer to those who believe
In preparedness as those who want
war Where is the faith In our
brother man II we suspect all of OPP
posite views as being war hungry
money grabbers? What does this
boasted "brotherhood of man" amount
to If the brothers are suspected of the
most hendish motives? "The charity
that suffereth long and is kind" needs
to be well stirred up and mixed with
the 1916 politics for united we stano
and divided we far applies to us now
Perhaps II Is desire for pertec'
conditions that prompts some or these
severe criticisms of officers, capitalists
politicians We need better. bigger
species of loyalty. The loyalty tina
can believe In both the people and TN
president The love of country tina
can strive for both Its peace and III
honor.-Mrs. L. O.. Curry.

Sketces from Prayer of
Homer Mckee

"Teach me that 60 minutes make l
hour, 16 ounces l pound, and 100
cents 81.
Help me to live so that can lie down
at night with clear conscience, with
out gun under my pillow, and un-
haunted by the faces of those to whom
l have brought pain.
Grant, l beseech Thee, that may
earn my meal ticket on the square, and
in doing thereof that l may not stick
the gaff where it does not belong.
"Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and the rustic of unholy skirts
''Blind me to the faults of the other
fellow, but reveal me to my own.
''Guide me so that each night when
l look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me,
will have nothing to conceal.
"Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself in
their play.
"And then, when comes the smell of
flowers and the tread of soft steps, and
the crushing of the hearse's wheels in
the gravel in front of my place, make
the ceremony short and the epitaph
simple, Here lies man.

LOYALTY.

In the coming presidential election
many will vote for the first time. No
one can predict with assurance what
the womens vote will be- but 1t Is
probable that 1t will be bipartisan.
Women freely criticlse opponents but
they do not enjoy the Jansling ana
mudslinging among politicians, and
partisan papers.
Now, when men who occupy our
highest places of responsibility ana
honor have their hearts and brains bur
dened with national affairs Of tremend-

proclaim our opinions. our interpreta-
tions and our condemnations.
oh. where Is our English strong
enough to denounce this habit of sland-

Figures compiled and published
recently in the Philadelphia Led
ger give the annual fire loss in
the United States as equivalent
to $3 per capita. This is said to
be twenty-five times as large as
the fire losses in Italy and six
times as great as the annual loss
in all of Europe. Some interest
ing comparisons are drawn to
illustrate the extent Of the waste
due to fire losses in the United
States every year. Fires cost
more every day than our entire
army and navy. In two weeks
enough property is burned to pay
the interest for year on the cost
of the Panama Canal. Average
tax to pay interest on the entire
national debt is but % cents, and
the annual fire loss would pay the
interest for twelve years. If the
fire loss in the United States were
kept down to the level Of Europe,
the saving would be sufficient to
build seventeen Of the largest
dreadnoughts every year.
In a rural court the old squire
had made a ruling so unfair that
three young lawyers at once pro-
tested against such miscarriage
Of justice. The squire Immediately
fined each of the lawyers S. for
contempt of court. There was
silence and then an old lawyer
walked slowly to the front Of the
room and deposited a $40 bill with
the clerk. He then addressed the
Judge as follows: "Your Honor, /
wish to state that / have twice as
much contempt for this court as
any man in the room. Youth s
