THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Datesville Guard, gently takes this
paper to task for referring to Mr..
Roosevelt as a bag of wind" and a
"notoriety seeker" without placing
in the same class the name of VIM.
J. Bryan, who, the Guard says, Of
fered to serve as a private in the
army when he knew he was too
old to be taken.
The truth is that when war was
declared Mr., Bryan, who was per-
sistent in his efforts to prevent a
declaration of war, notified Presi-
dent Wilson to call upon him when
he needed his services and added
that he preferred to serve his coun-
try as a private. We take it Mr..
Bryan meant by this as much that
he desired and expected no official
honor or place in the war as that
he preferred to serve as a private
in the ranks Of the army, if he serv-
ed in the army at all. Again, Mr..
Bryan at the same time announced
that through the Red Cross he
would contribute to the comfort of
soldiers in the hospitals and through
the Young Mems Christian Associa
ton assist in guarding the morals
of the men in camp.
When war was declared Mr..
Roosevelt, who had been persistent
in his efforts to bring about a decla-
ration of war, Immediately offered
his services to the country as a
commander of forces, something
unprecedented in the history of this
country. He asked special author
ity from the president and congress
so that he might become conf
mander, something else unprece-
dented in the history of this coun-
try. Having failed in this effort,
Mr.. koosevelts fighting enthusiasm
has evidently dropped dangerously
near to the freezing point.
1t strikes us that the man who
is unable to distinguish a difference
between William j. Bryan and
Theodore Roosevelt would have
great difficulty in making a dis
tinction between the odor of a rose
and the fumes Of polecat.

THIS is NOT GODS WAR

The Arkansas Farmer, published
Il Conway, speaking about condi
ions brought about by the war
eays;
lit is a propitious hour for turning
to God"
We have always heard it preach
ed that some men never turn tc
Cod except when they get into
trouble and that they usually turn
back again as soon as the trouble
is over. 1t may be that way with
whole nations. If we had a license
10 breach we should arise to remark
that if both men and countries
would consult more with the AL
mighty when trouble is in the wind
4 Whole lot of trouble would be cas-
liIy averted. That brings up an in
teresting question, The Arkansas
Farmer says:
'Thoughtful men and women,
studying the present war, see evil
dences of Gods wrath being visited
upon nations that had forgotten
Cod"
Ne have never been able to SUBJ
scribe to the logic that God AL
mighty is responsible for this war.
If This struggle is not purely the
work of man, then there must be
no works of man. Any grown per-
con with the ability to discern the
lust and greed of men and nations
for more power and wealth and
more territory for monarchs to gov-
erD who would attempt to palm this
war off to God Almighty ought to
be thoroughly ashamed Of him
self.
There are no doubt in the world
thousands of wicked people of
.'wh0se ways and methods God Al
mighty certainly does not approve,
but 1t is inconceivable to us that
THe would permit the ruthless
Oifhter of thousands and thous-
\ isof good men, the death of
\ Onsands and thousands of inno-
i cent women and children, to say
nothins of the hunger and sorrow
Ihat must prevail in thousands of
honest, God-fearing homes, in order
3 visit His wrath upon the wicked.
We ARE GLAD WE HAVE NOT
THAT CONCEPTION OF THE WIS.,
POM AND GOODNESS OF GOD
oALMIGHTY.
Again, we can we'll imagine that
when God Almighty concludes to
axe this old world to cleaning
ie will begin at the top and work
l0wnward. We can well Imagine
hat He will make short work first
i THOSE in high places and those
;" hylocks of wealth and power who
rind and feast upon the poor and
vho lead and force them into evil
] That Is not being done in this great
nan struggle. We cannot imagine
hat He would exterminate a mere
esult and leave the cause rampant
cn the world as vicious and greedy
IanlS ever before. That is being done
nthis great man struggle we call
he European war
No living man, 1t must be said,
Inows anything positive of the
vays of God, but any man ought
ado be able TO apply a little common
License to the proposition before he
dlittempts to place the responsibility
Nlor this war and all Its terrible re.
Iults upon Him.

general at Washington. Curry is in

Cal Curry is ordered TO report by

signed in his place here, but II is ex-
pected that Capt. Jim B. Brooks, as
ISOLATED with Curry in aviation work,
may mi the vacancy.
The fact that Curry had been pro-
NOTED to major was interesting news
at headquarters. 1t is evident that
the promotion is under the new allot-
ment in signal corps through which
one colonel, one aforementioned,
eight majors. "a captains and ia first

able that Capt. Brooks gets mis- pro-
motion in the infantry branch from

BLEDSOE SAYS
HECAN BEFAIR
IN OIL TRIALS

Federal Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe
experiences no sense Of Disqualified
ton, personal or legal, to prevent him
from giving a fair trial in the suit
brought by the government to recover
oil land from the Honolulu Consoli,
dated OIL Company, according to his
answer filed June IL in the circuit
court Of appeals to the mandamus pro

Peter F. Dunno Of the counsel for

soc had owned stock in the National
Pacific Oil Company in 1915, when he
disposed of it; that the Nationals in
terests were similar to the Honolulu
corporations and the jurist would be
affected In his decision.
When questioned by Presiding
Judge VIM. B. Gilbert Of the circuit
court why Dunno should bring up this
question when ostensibly DUNES
client, If any, would be in the favored
position, and the government at dis
Attorney Dunno answered
that II the judge we're disqualified
neither side had the right TO overlook
the disqualification.
Judge Bledsoe stated in the answer
