WENT SMILING TO DEATH
(Lynchburg Advance

A story is told of man being cleo
trocutcd at Sing Sing, who walked to
the death chair with smile on his
face.
Whether true OF not the story is
deeply suggestive. The possibility of
a mans meeting the death current
with q smile must prove the practi-
cability of meeting with a smile any
conditions of life.
1t is not always the great trials and
troubles that are hardest to meet. We
can readily acquire habit of frown-
ing over every petty woe and disap-
pointment, and thus make life mis-
cradle not only for our selves, but for
all about us. 1t is dctestablc habit
and is suicide to ones own joy in life,
and murder to the joys of others.
There seems to be something in hu-
man nature that braces us up for the
inevitable. For this reason we face
with fortitude the gravest disasters,
even death itself. but fret and fuss
and frown over little ills which a
cheerful smile would dissipate as sun
shine dissipates malarial mists.
Men who rise as masters in great
emergencies may be stung to death by
little annoyances.
1t is almost an entirely matter
of habit. Cheerfulness may be cult
waited, as well as health. Indeed, the
two blessings generally go together.
Fortunately but few of us may be
called upon to go smiling to the death
char
But we are called upon every day
to smile away life's little worries.

Where Are They?

Roanoke Times:
IF there is war, l will go; my
four sons will go; my two sons-in-
law will go!"
You dc not need to ask whose voice
it is that trumpets forth such bcllig-
erent sentiments so blithely, not to
say blissfully. 1t is one long ia
miliar to the American public, one
raised on every possible occasion in
and out of season when there was no.
toriety to be gained for tn cruising.
1t is the voice of him who has never
been known to overlook an opportu-
nifty to gain the spotlight-either for
himself or for his four sons or for
his two sons-in-law. In short, it is
the voice of T. r.
Inc words were spoken 1T time
when it looked as though the ex-
ceedingly critical relations existing
between the United States and Ger
many might eliminate in conflict.
With more assurance than modcsty,
more insistence than good taste, more
aasidulty than wisdom, Il. r. had
been doing his best to stir up anti
German sentiment in this country and
had not hesitated roundly to bcrate
the administration because it preferr-
ed to gain by patient diplomacy what

at the COST of so many precious young
lives. Muc hto the disgust and cha

ministration succeeded in exacting

OF It's maritime policy. And so war
was averted.
Now another crisis has arisen in
our international relations, this time
with Mexico, and it has been neces-
sary to call out the national guard
to aid in preserving order along the
border. All over the land men are
leaving their accustomed vocations
and several callings to answer their
country's call. What, oh what, has
become Of the "hero" who so recently
proclaimed, eff there is war, will go |;
