TO SIGN A PLEDGE.

A surprise was worked on the
citizens of the town Monday
night when the mail contained
documents worded thus:
"Of the MANY homes now plan
ming for a merry Christmas, hun
dreds of these will besadly disap-
pointed. Many mothers will sud-
denly be brought to tears, many
many sisters will hide their faces
in shame, many fathers will have
aching hearts, and 10! the many
wives bowed down in grief.
Many wounds will be inflicted
AND EVEN DEATHS. All these
will be the result of the Christ
mas holiday drinking. A large
per cent. of these will be caused
by the now innocent boys orrinno-
cent fathers taking only a drink.
After the first drink others follow,
hence the result. ,ass
Neither should we celebrate
the birth of Christ, our Savior,
by drinking spirituous liquors.
Therefore, in answer to moth
er's prayer and for the happiness
of my home and our community.
and in reverence toGod. the Faith
er Of our Lord and Saviour. Jesus
Christ, / solemnly promise and
pledge my honor that | will not
drink any kind Of spirituous LID
| uors during the Christmas Holt
| days. &C. 3t ...-
1t was sent out indiscriminate-
ly to every one IS a reminder
that there are dangers on every
hand during the Christmas seas
on. 1t is to be hoped that the
movement inaugurated by Owen
Sunday School, in which it orig
mated, will bear fruit, and nc
doubt it will. Some of the pied
ges, as opened, were chucked
away in oerision, and others
were put back into their envel-
opes for consideration The
move if a good one, and inaugur'
ates custom which should be
kept up at this season, every
year, for it will do good, sooner
or later. If the whiskey houses
use the mails to invite the people
of the nation to drink, why
should not the church people ust
them to invite the people not tt
drink? 1t is a fair proposition
and the church people should ge
into the gap.

From County Judge William
son we learn that the condition
of the general fund of the county
is alarming, and that there is
reason to believe that there will
be a considerable deficit to report
at next meeting of the county
court on first Monday of Janu-
arv next. The expenditures for
for 1916 are coming in too heavi-
" to suit the careful manage
ment of Judge Williamson. AS
the general fund is the one
which practically runs the busl-
ness of the county, it gets in bad
when it falls behind. The next
session of county court will have
some knotty questions to discuss
to decide on a remedy.

IS THIS SCENE BEAUTIFUL?

Americans, we Tear, uo IlOt i0
alize the horrors of war. Ii they
did there would be such universal
demand for a cessation OF the
unholy supply of war munitions
and war supplies, food, clothing,
ETC., to keep up the carnage In
Europe, that men would refuse
to work in shops where such
supplies were being made, or eV-
en- to load the stuff onto trains
or vessels for shipment to the
combatants. If people could get
a full realization into their minds
of the awfuIness of war, and that
its so-called glory is nothing, then
their consciences would not per-
NIT them to give even an iota OF
support to either side in this Eu-
ropean war, that has now been
raging for two years and promls-
es two more years duration.
Many men are making money in
this traffic, but as sure as there
is la day of judgement coming
there will be a day of retribution
fall on them for the misery they
have caused to mankind.
The following regarding a ter
rible night after a battle is a
tragic story from the pen of IA
rem Bramson, a nurse in the Red
Cross service:
"A French corporal, aged ~, a
painter of recognized talent, lay
dying-his right arm torn Oft,
his left foot crushed. Tortured
by pain and memories, he strug-
gled to dictate to me this account
of his last battle:
There had been a terrible bonn
bardment all dey, the Germans
attacking en- mass, only to be
mown down by our French 75s.
Both sides suffered heavily.
Heaps of killed and wounded lay
all about. .- >-

was freezing and frozen mist be-
gan to fall and cover the hund'
reds of distorted human bodies
Whether it was the darkness, OF
the piercing cold that caused it
whether the helpless wounded
realized that help was impossible
nobody knows.
but suddenly, as if madness
had seized them all, they criet
out with frenzy at their own i'm
potence!

ing which spread over the whole

of election is the only diploma re-
quired to make Of the ordinary man
in any walk Of life trained public
official There is unfortunately a
feeling that one utterly without train
ing or experience has the same capac-
ity for the management of the intri-
cate and delicate affairs of government
possessed by one who has devoted his
entire life TO a study Of its problems
and who is fitted by experience and
natural aptitude. Nothing is more
unfortunate than the lack of interest
in public affairs manifested by large
portion of our best educated electorate
The average man pays no attention
to these public questions. During the
artificial excitement of campaign
and the stimulus then created he gives
some attention to the issues which are
debated. but otherwise, except in times
of popular danger, he is disposed to
permit public affairs to administer
themselves. Quick to criticize the
public official, he is VIGOROUSLY slow to
commend the statesman who labors
industriously to serve the public vel
fare. For after all we must remem.
Der always that no government wa!
ever created, no government ever viii
be created, capable Of properly admin
istering itself when ignored by It:
citizens and those whom 1t is estab
lished to serve.
We must divert at least part o.
that remarkable energy Of our people
into public channels where 1t can b.

nation instead of the enrichment of tn,

the rights of mankind and less Of the
rights of property.
The man of the street, the mother
of the tenement and the children OF
the slums today receive more of our
attention than the Croesius of the
brown stone front on the city's boule-
wards. AS a nation we are becom-
ing more essentially humanitarian
Those OF the submerged classes, as
they have been called, are extended
the helping hand and on all sides in
situations are being endowed by
political and social organizations for
relieving them of the burdens Of
despair and dependency. We are
writing on our statue books legisla-
ton to protect them from the exac-
tons OF the more powerful elements Of
society.
Social Legislation Betters Conditions
In the United States, as nation
and in the individual states we have
adopted legislation limiting the
hours of labor, preventing the en-
ployment of children, safeguarding
working women, securing bettel
sanitation in our workshops; we are
providing parks and Fairgrounds II
our congested cities; we are erecting
sanitariums for the care of tubercu
lars and epileptics and the othel
classes of mentally and physically un
fortunate. And this legislation is no
political or partisan-it is purely hui
manitarian.
And with this more purely socia
legislation we are writing statutes
tending to shift the burden of support
ing the government onto the shout
ders of those better able to carry it. w
have already the federal income ia!
law under whose terms those Of small
or moderate incomes are exempt. II
many of the states we have inheritance
taxes providing for the appropriation
by the states Of portion of the large
estates which have hitherto beer
handed down from generation to gen
Grafton on the theory that they hav'
not been earned by the labor Of thos'
to whom they descend.
And with this tendency we hav'
come to Judge our public men by mucl
higher standards than we applied ever
a generation ago. More and more w
are insisting that men who hold higl
places In the public service shall seve
their ties with corporations and W,
no longer view with unconcern thu
idea OF men holding elective offic,
while receiving retainers from corpor
ations to represent them in various
capacities. Yet generation ago thi
was the common practice and no dis
position was shown to question tn
propriety of such dual allegiance.
Too Little Thought Given to Politics
With the tremendous industrial an,
physical development Of our countr
we have unfortunately given too littl
of our time to the study Of the ques
tons OF government and the politica
issues of the day. Indeed 1t seem
true that as a nation our genius is no
political, but rather industrial an
commercial. We insist that our docto
be highly trained in his professio
and that our lawyer be skilled in hi
work and that our ministers be thor
ough students Of theology. But Their
