EVERY ONE WANTS PEACE

1t is again rumored that Eng
land, Germany and France are con-
sidering the appointment of "a joint
commission for the consideration
of peace in Europe, If there is any
one thing under the sun that the
rest of the world ardently desires,
it is that this rumor may be found
ed upon fact and not conceived in
the fertile brain of some lying for
eign correspondent. The world is
satiated with the unspeakable hor-
rors of this war. 1t wants peace,
and it wants it to continue unshat-
tered until the crack of doom.

LOVE SHALL LEAD

Love shall lead us where he will;
Nevermore to sever;
Let him kiss, or wound, or kill,
Love is ours forever,
Blood-red thorns or snow-whitt
flowers,
Still through life Loves way is ours
Be a wilderness our lot
So that Love may share it;
Kind would be a savage cot
With Loves roses near it.
Golden dreams, or storm swept day
Still throgh life-through death
Loves way!

There is no surer safeguard
against the temptations that come
to young men and women than a
love for home. 1t has brought

A girl that is not neatly dressed
is called sloven, and no one likes
to look at her. Her face may be
pretty and her eyes bright, but if
there is a spot of dirt on her
cheek, and her fingers ends are
black with ink, and her shoes are
not laced or buttoned up, and her
apron is dirty, and her collar not
buttoned and her skirt is torn, she
cannot be liked. Learn to be neat
and when you have learned it, it
will almost take care OF itself.

Newspapers received an unusual
and marked tribute the other day
when Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pas
tor of one Of the largest churches
in New York City and one of the
foremost clergymen in the country,
resigned his charge in order to
carry on his chosen work, not in
another pulpit, but through the
press.
1t is DR.. Eaton's belief, shared by
many others, that public opinion in
this country must be awakened to
its responsibilities in the read
iustment which is bound to follow
the great war. DIR. Eaton will
preach this subject, but not from
the pulpit. The newspaper will
carry his message to the world in
the future. In relinquishing his post
the eminent clergyman said:
"At present the newspapers are
preaching better than the preach
ers, and it is through the press
that / hope to work. In common
with the rest of the world, Ameri-
ca is entering upon a new age, and
feel it my duty to help in form
ing public opinion and interpret
ing the vast and complicated prob
! lens which confront US. 81
The foregoing is but another
proof of the growing influence and
power for the community exerted
by the newspaper today. 1t is not
so many years ago that any close
connection between the clergy and
the press was sufficient cause for
considerable raising of the eye
brows among the reverend gentle
men and their followers. Time and
experience and, it must be admit
ted, higher standard among news
papers, have changed this attitude.
The press and clergy are today
working hand in hand, as they
should work, and preaching re-
ligious as well as civic righteous
ness through the newspapers is an
accepted fact, for, while the pull
pit addresses itself to hundreds,
the newspapers speaks to thousands.

Tuesday, May sosh j. Memorial Day.

Out to the gardens of the dead,
With low-bowed heads and solemn tread,
The few remaining veterans go,
The screech of fife and roll of drum
Bring back again the feet grown numb,
The measured step and slow.
Pierced by the rays of springtimes sun,
Like drops of blood the dew-drops run
From newborn leaves and flowers,
And tear-drops mingle with the dew,
AS memory brings some face to view,
Like rain-drops after showers.
Upon each sleeping comrades tomb,
They placed the lilac's fragrant bloom,
And bleeding hearts, bright red
And near each maidstone white and fair,
They flung Old Glory to the air,
In honor of their dead
Long may we keep their memory dear,
Let every heart their deeds revere;
For us they fought and died,
And as those living pass away,
Let sons and grandsons keep this day,
And deck their graves with pride.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Sept. 20
Twenty-six persons were killed outright.
300 were wounded and a vast amount of
property damage was done in London by
the Zeppelins which raided the British
Isles SATURDAY. night, according to a
wireless message picked up by the Brit
ish steamer Norman Monarch, which
arrived in Hampton roads this morn
ing. The Norman Monarch is bound
for Chile to load nitrate and stopped
in this port for bunker coal. .
Captain Watson, of the Norman Mon

by the Germans. Casualties and prop

Isles also were unusually heavy, but no
exact figures were given in the wireless
message, Captain Watson said.
