The German kaiser and the German
people pray fervently that the God of
heaven will give victory to the Ger
man armies. In this country many
are praying just as fervently that the
tide of battle will go against the
German armies. This seems to trou-
BILE some people, but it should not be
cause for serious worry. eye ask
and receive not because we ask amiss,"
said the Great Teacher. Which is
another way of saying that there is a
right and a wrong way to pray.
Prayer, according to the teaching of
Jesus, must have in it more than mere
desire; it must be clothed in the spirit
of submission. Here is the trouble
with war prayers-they are prone to
express self-will, greed, selfshness.
Hence they can find ne response in the
will of heaven.

Several times we have called atten-
tion to the fact that Union merchants
have sold and are continuing to sell
goods at remarkable low price, con-
sidering the heavy advance on all mer-
chandise. The fact is, Union mer-
chants have not taken the profits they
might have taken, if they had been
disposed to grasp all they possibly
could. Dry goods, shoes, clothing and
heavy and fancy groceries are selling
today in Union at less than our mer-
chants would have to pay to replen-
ish their stocks.

The movement to- raise in Union
county six thousand dollars for the
Red Cross work should appeal with
force to all our citizens. 1t is a work
of mercy, one that nobody can afford
to neglect. Let every man, woman
and child in the county help a little
and this humane work, so far as Un-
ion county is concerned, will be done.
With our some twenty-nine thousand
inhabitants it should be no difficult
task to raise the six thousand. Twen-
ty-fve cents per capita would total
that sum. 1t is probable, more than
probable, that some of our own boys,
soon to be fighting in the great war,
will be in need of the very service that
this money will go to secure. Do your
part, and do it ungrudgingly.

The atrocities perpetrated by the
German soldiers against the Belgian
women and children and against the
women and children of France are so
repulsive that one cannot think upon
the subject without disgust, loathing.
And these same atrocities will come
to the fore whom Germany must
stand before the bar of future iudg-
ment. Nothing excuses, nothing pa
tiates the damnable conduct of these
barbarians.

WOULD FURTHER PROHIBIT.

A new bill to conserve food sun-
piies, which would prohibit their man
ufacture during the war into intoxi-
eating beverages, both distilled spirits
and malt liquors, was ordered reported
today by the senate agriculture COM
mittee.
Another provision Of the proposed
bill, which Senator Gore of Oklahoma,
chairman, was authorized by an over
whelming authority to reauisition
existing supplies of distilled spirits
when he should deem it necessary to
conserve food supplies or to secure al
cohol for hospital or other war pur-
poses.

Union county came up well to TIE
mark in the matter of registering
Tuesday of last week, and it is
worthy thing that it thus
transpires. The grim war that
is now to us a reality, not a
mere possibility, is brought closer
home to us. There is no boastful
spirit manifesting itself in this move
ment. 1t is a solemn and trying time
that confronts us. We had rather be
at peace, prefer that there should be
no war. We are not allowing our
selves to be blinded with the mere
trappings of war to the really stern,
cruel and frightful facts that are in
volved. But we are men-free. fear
less and patriotic. If our country
needs our money, we are willing to
place our treasures upon the altar.
If our country needs eur service, this
sacrifice we are willing to make. If
our country needs our lives, we make
even that supreme sacrifice. But it is
truly grim business, is this thing of
war. 1t is time that will try the
souls of men to the very uttermost.
Let us pray that it may be of short
duration, and that the clouds now so
dark will give place to a brighter
day. In the meantime, let US as men
do our duty, whether it be that we
serve at home or on the battle front.
