THE American Civil war killed an
idea. The idea that human slav-
cry was right. We are now fighting
to kill another idea. That govern
ments derive their just powers from
the will of the kaiser, and that milit-
airy necessity justifies moral obliquity,
and that solemn treaties become
scraps of paper whenever they stand
in the way of military advantage.

THE petty dilatory tactics and pol

THE petty dilatory tactics and poll
teal maneuvering of congress is
disgusting. Republicans are as guilty
as the Democrats. Congress has been
liberal with money. 1t has been mean
and cowardly in its efforts to weaken
the presidents hands and compel him
to wage war with the assistance of
boards that spend most of their time
disagreeing. We question the wis
dom Of appropriating huge sums of
money and refusing at the same time
to permit the efficient expenditure of
this cash. Nothing so appeals to
congress as divided authority. The
Kaiser likes it, too-outside of Ger
many and in the administration of
his enemies affairs.

IF you have the idea that there viii
be no favoritism in the war bus
mess just forget it. There is always
fayoritism in such things. 1t may
be unconscious, but it is there just the
same. Suppose, for instance, that the
head Of the department had an import
ant place TO fill and there were two
men, one a little better qualified than
the other, but the other a friend of
the man who had the appointment to
make. Do you think for an instant
that the Man Higher Up would turn
down his friend and appoint the
stranger, even if there was shade
of difference in their capability? The
appointments that are being made
show clearly and eonclusively that
there is favoritism. It would be use
less and foolish to deny it. But so
long as the appointments are not of
fensively dictated by favoritism, there
will be little cause for complaint. 1t
IS human nature to play favorites,"
and the war isn't going to change
human nature.

CARS BURNED
AT THE DEPOT

Two of the boarding cars, sta
toned east of the depot in Dresden,
were burned at an early hour on
Monday morning, together with the
contents, the latter including all the
wearing apparel of the crew.
The cook for the crew states that
he saw 9 blaze in oneof the cars and
before he could give an alarm the
car was afire all over. The flames
spread to an adjoining car, used for
the same purpose, and both were
quickly consumed, making a big fire.
The railroad company has had a
crew of men here for the past several
weeks making a concrete fill on the
railroad west of town, and the cars
were the headquarters of these men.
In one of them were all the clothes
of these men, who, at the time, were
at work and did not save anything
except what they had on. One of
the men claims that he lost a new
suit for which he only recently paid
$50. Other box cars nearby would
have been burned except for the time
ly arrival of the section crew who
rolled them out of harms reach.
The wind carried the blaze to the
south, otherwise a residence or two
nearby might have been burned.

DANGEROUS CROSS
INGS BE CUT OUT

A plan is on foot, backed by the
railroad company and encouraged by
number of citizens having the pub
lie welfare at heart, to cut out the
four very dangerous grade crossings
west of the square-the one at the
cemetery, the Ruffin Rogers cross
ing, the one leading out to the Rog-
ers place and the main crossing of
the dirt road and the railroad on
the Dresden and Martin road
1t is proposed to fill in the trestle
back of the H. B. Jones place, making
a driveway underneath to connect
with new dirt road to accommodate
all traffic on the Greenfield and the
Martin road, branch roads from both
these roads to lead to the tunnel,
coming into town at some point yet
to be determined by the citizens and
the railroad officials. The railroad
company now has large crew of
hands making concrete supports at
the creek, west of town, and the
company plans to raise the roadbed
from below the creek to or near the
cemetery, doing away with or re-
ducing a heavy grade.
If the road project is put through |

STEALING KISS NO CRIME.
That Was the Ruling Of a California
Justice.

Los Angeles, Cal.--To steal kiss is
not felony-that is, when man
steals 1t from woman. If woman
were to steal kiss from a man, the
justices in the minor courts hold, he
who made complaint should be placed
under observation in the psychopathic
ward.
But when the man Is the thief of TO-
nance, Justice SummerHeld declared
with judicial flourish, that man Is not
guilty Of felony, and therefore he dis
missed the charges against Claude
Fleming concerning Frances Davidson.
Fleming was arrested after a charge
had been placed against him by Miss
DGvidSon's mother. When the details
Of the case were revealed In the jus
tees court it developed Fleming had
been an ardent and dauntless thief Of
kisses, with very effective technique,
but was guilty Of no graVeT Offense.
