THE SLOGAN

The SLOGAN is the name given to the picturesque
mining district of southwestern Canada that has
known the romance of big boom, the slow tragedy
of decline and desertion, and the pulse of renewed
prosperity and activity, all within the memory of
men still young enough for military service TWEEN
ty years ago the rush and all the mad
scramble and lavish spending of Leadvile and
the Klondike were being re-enacted in Kaslo and
Nelson and Sandon and the rest of the little min
ing camps. In Sandon they boarded over the river
make the single city street, because the canyon
walls too steep TO lay it anywhere else. Kaslo
grew overnight into budding metropolis.
The drop in silver spelled temporary disaster
to the SLOGAN, and men who too impatient
to do with less than the hope of fortune week
poured out fast they had rushed in. They
left many a deep-buried low-grade vein behind
them for the patient and methodcal work of some
powerful syndicate to open up and exploit. They
threw aside not worth bothering with the zinc
ores that the has almost classed among the
precious metals So the future of the SLOGAN dis
trict may yet be prosperous and a good deal
more solidly founded than it's past

promise of possible development. but it has always

of gold or silver or diamonds that has led to the

Soluing the Meat Problem

Commenting on the hfty-percent increase in
the price of meat during the past twelvemonth
and on the prospect of further advances in the
seasons ahead, the Brooklyn Eagle remarks:
1.-The meat difficulty springs out of causes
that cannot be removed. Our ranch lands
becoming agricultural lands. Australia and
Argentina can help us a little, only little
because of the European demand And if
peace should come tomorrow, such is the
destruction of farm and animal life incident
to the that Europe would not have nor
NAL production of meat for at least decade"
While these are indisputable facts, it is going
too far to infer from them that the meat problem
is beyond solution. We need not depend on for
eign sources of supply on the dwindlng ranch
lands of the West. Authorities say that in the
South Atlantic and Gulf States there is enough
unused and available land to raise all the food
animals as we'll as vegetables needed for years to
come by many times the country's present popula-
tion.
In this region meat can be produced not only
in abundance but cheaply. The mild winters and
native grasses reduce to a minimum the cost of
housing and feeding live stock, while land excel
lenty suited to cattle ranges can be purchased at
prices surprisingly low compared with those pre-
yailing in other sections. In Georgia there
hundreds of thousands of which could be
turned to highly profitable account in animal hus-
bandry. Evidently then, the meat problem though
indeed serious is not lodged in causes that can
not be removed" All the natural resources need
full to solve the problem abound here in the South.

Congressman Howard's
True AmericaniSn1

Americanism rings strong and true in Con-
gresham Towards reply to those Of his consti-
tuents who requested him to vote for legislation
designed to nullify the Seective Service act. The
Constitutionalty of the law, he truly remarks,
has been settled as conclusively as any question
ever has been settled by the Supreme Court of the
United States. Its necessity matter of effective
national preparedness and defense, he clearly ex-
plains as he does also its fairness and democracy
Then comes this terse and at the time COM
prehensive statement of American duty:
I'VE are at war and there is one of three
things we can do. Stand by and
country ANONYMOUSLY defeated and ever after
have upon our necks the heel of Prussanism;
or we can ask for separate, dishonorable
and disgracefuI peace and pay such indemni-
ties as Germany may visit upon US; or we
must fight this war with every resource
have to indicate our honor nation and
to take proper place in the sphere of
usefulness In the world
1t is emphatically true, Congressman Howard
adds that he could not vote for the bill to nulify
the Selective Service without voting for a bill
which emanated from the enemies of his country
and which If enacted would play into the hands
of the Kaiser and be of more benefit to him in his
attempt to crush civilization than all the money
he has yet expended for his nefarious war" This
is the of utterance that is true to the spirit
of real Georgians and real Americans In taking
this unequivOcally patriotic stand, Congressman
Howard honors the great body of his constituents
and worthiy represents, he ever has done, their
vital interests.

business and the W ar.

No man with absolute certainty may outline in
dustriaI and commercial conditions obtaining in
the United States Immediately following the cessa-
ton of hostiIities and the succeeding four five
years, but all economic students are agreed that
the measure of prosperity, or its opposite will
largely depend upon the attitude the people
through the government assume toward the new
order of things Prussian lust and world-ambi-
ton has made It possible for this country to secure
and hold an exports trade We could not have ac-
quired under normal conditions in fifty years of
assiduous shipbulding. To retain this business
and therein lies our chief prosperity, must evil

ing manner. Any other policy would quickly strip

Critics are agreed that the Kaiser. in touch

The Senatorial Oath

The Triton Gazette applauds those loyal Sen
ators who as a counter to the LaFollette resolu-
ton demanding of the President affirmation Of
the reasons why at war; proposed that
members of the Senate be required to reaffirm the
oath which each of them took before assuming
his seat This oath is peculiarly interesting and
important at the present juncture. 1t reads:
II do solemnly that l will support
and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle; that will bear true allegiance to the
same; that take this obligation freely with
out any mental reservation or purpose OF
evasion: and that l will we'll and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office which
am about to enter, so help me God"
The Gazette aptly observes that from their words
and conduct some Senators seem to have forgot
ten the text of that solemn and that it doubt
less would be bitter pill to them to be obliged
to reaffrm it before the men who have heard
them talk for the past month" Much history is
being written and written irrevocably, in America
today Men of the LaFollette stripe may derive
certain vainglorious satisfaction from the present
notoriety their disloyalty brings them, but what
by-word for perifdy their names will be to the
future!

There are many honest minds perplexed to
the righteousness of this OF course there
are cantankerous minds that object to anything; of

lieved in their principle

letters some bewailing my fall from grace others
charging me with following the crowd and others
even accusing me of every known form of coward

monarchy, from our continent, by the device

We urged therefore, plead and preached

" HERE is only one means by which a
really look at himself, and that means
- is not with the aid of mirror.
Most men-and women-fail to appreciate
this. They think that mirror is indispensable
to sightseeing. And many of them have singu-
lar fondness for sightseeing with mirrors aid
Whereas the fact is that mirror shows
mans self scarcely at all.
If it is a good mirror it does show him with
admirable exacttude the external she'll Of the self.
And it may give some helpful hints as to what Is
going on within the shell. But that is about all it
does, ever do.
Really to look at oneself it is necessary to use
a device that will enable one to peer far beneath
Such a device is available to everybody and
at no expense whatever. 1t consists in quiet, hon
est meditation ones personal characteristics as
revealed through everyday behavior.
Astonshingly few people make frequent use of
this device. Some people never use it.
That is perhaps the principal reason there are
so many people who make sad middle OF their
lives.
They find it hard to earn even a meagre liv
ing They find it impossible to gain happiness and
content They uneasy, lonely, miserable medl-
ocrities.
Yet IL they once-only once-took the trou-
BILE really to look at themselves, they might be
spurred into healthy activity that would mean
their redemption.
IF thew made sightseeing through honest medi-
tation habtual thing they would almost certain
ly be redeemed.

they would discover the weak spots in their psy-
chic makeup, the spots to which they now are
blind. 49,

would recognize what an unpleasant and repellent
figure he cuts, and what a tremendous handlcaP

He would understand why he has few friends
He would recognize the Importance of cultiVat1ng
self-control IL only for business reasons

And so with all of US.

entirely candid examination of our acts and

ourselves that it is of the utmost Importance for
to know.
We would have less reason for conceit, but
greater abAity-and greater desire-for

These figures do not include says the Ruralist,
tobacco, truck. melons, peaches, peanuts, apples
nor citrus fruits, which will add more than six
hundred million dollars to the Southern farm
er's buying power.
Certainly this is most ereditable showing and
again brings to the foreground the fact that the
South actually is the foodstuffs storehouse for the
nation. What is more satisfying and promising,
still, is the now demonstrated truth We are just
beginning to learn; namely, that all manner Of
profitable crops, other than cotton, may be sue
cessfully grown here. One especially highly graft
flying result OF 1917 is the increased corn crop.
