PIRACY.

Germany seems to believe that sinking
our ships and drowning our sailors is not
an act of war against us, In reality it is
worse than war 1t is piracy on the high
seas. If Germany had the means of do
ing so she would loot our ships instead of
sinking them and the wholesale drown
ing of the innocent people on the Lusi-
tania was no less cruel and atrocious than
was walking the plank in the days of
Capt. Kidd.
Our dealings with Mexico gave to Ger
many the idea that there was no pith In
our National backbone. But America is
not a coward German piracy has be-
come unbearable and now we are going to
show Germany that the spirit of ''76" and
of the Sixties still lives in the United

Give Uncle Sam Your Vacation

NEW YORK, May A. The United
States Government will receive the ser
vices this Summer of nearly 5000, 900 men
and women, if the vacation Service"
movement started here is carried out &C
cording to the plans originated by Prof
Francis B. Croker, formerly of Columbia
University and past president of the
American Institute of Electrical Engine
eminent will receive about 10000, 600
weeks, or more than 1872, 300 years of the
time of these men and women, who will
give their vacations to their country as
their patriotic duty, Prof. Croker ex-
poets that his plan will be adopted all over
the country
Realizing that there are many who
cannot enlist" he said, "and who are I'M
able to participate in the Liberty Loan as
heavily as they WISH this means of ma
tional service was evolved.
''This war is the most serious crisis the
United States has ever faced--the work
of every man, woman and child is needed
to bring it to successful conclusion
Every hour given to the Government is
an hour gained in bringing the war to an
early end. Understanding this, the va
cation Service movement was started
Everyone in the United States that takes
a vacation, and it is estimated that there
are five million such, can do his or her bit
by giving their two weeks to Government
work
Thousands, perhaps hundreds of thous-
ands of these are specialists in their vari-
GUS trades or professions-they can give
the services of experts. Others can put
in their time on the farms helping to solve
the vital food problem of the world.
Think what it would mean to the farmers
if they were able to avail themselves of
100, 900 years of the time of willing work.
ers, who worked because they were pa
triotic! There are hundreds of other tasks
in which these patriots could help their
country.
every person willing to do this should
apply to the nearest Government depot or
arrange to spend their vacations on the
farms. Organizations should be formed
in every city and these should enroll the
vacation workers and assign them to theil
! tasks"

THE ROOSEVELT CONTROVERSY
IN CONGRESS.

Mr.. Roosevelt desires TO raise two divi-
sions of volunteers for service in France.
He has been ably aided in the work by
hundreds of prominent men. Medill Nc
Comick, Representative at large from
Illinois, has raised four troops of cavalry.
Ex-senator j. Mayhem wainwright has
been drilling 1000 men in Westchester
county, New York Brig. Gen. Gardiner
". Pearson of Lowell, Mass, has raised
regiment of infantry. We have not
space to mention the names of scores of
other prominent men who have been rails
ing regiments of infantry, troops of
cavalry, machine gun units, aeroplane
SQuadrons and other units required by the
proposed divisions. In the last three
months 1877, 900 men have registered their
readiness to Join the Roosevelt divisions
whenever the call for assembly and or
ganization was issued This is more than
three times the number of volunteers OBJ
tanned by government recruiting in the
same three months.
In addition to the offers of men, there
have been subscriptions of money for the
equipment of these men amounting to
<l0,O00,000.
Col Roosevelt did not desire to be the
commander of these two divisions He
modestly wished to command brigade,
and to be the sixth in the list of Briga-
der Generals.
Thousands of these men who have vol
unteered are men of Importance and high
standing. Several of them are ex-Con-
gressmen The list contains the names
of college professors, professional men
and business men. They are men who
realize that the country needs them.
There is no 'buncombe" in this move
ment.
1t has been said by many that if Col
Roosevelt took these divisions to France
it would lead only to needless slaughter
Of the men. In the first place Col Roose-
welt was to be only a junior Brigadier
General. The divisions would be under
the command of officers who had learned
war as a profession. Besides that, the
divisions would have been trained in
France and there would have learned the
art and strategy of war as the lessons of
today are teaching them. If the war

DEATH OF CHAS. A. PILSBURY

Mr. Charles A. Pilsbury, who died Tues
day morning, May 18th, had been engaged
in newspaper work for 60 years. and for
the last 80 years had been editor of this
paper His death removes another of the
old-time newspaper men, of whom but
few are left in this State On the 18th
day of April last, after the paper had
gone to press, he left his desk, never to
return to take up his pen. He always
gave to the paper the best that was his
to give, and that was much His mind
seemed to ripen as he grew older and his
brain was storehouse of information
upon almost any subject in which his
readers were interested. He was always
true to his convictions. His editorial
work never sounded a false note. What
lever he wrote he honestly believed. He
was steadfast in duty and vigorous in
mind till his life work was done. The
welfare of The journal had become woven

continues for a year or two longer the
divisions would, of course, receive their
''baptism of blood" But, they would
aid in whipping Germany and would
demonstrate that all the fighting blood of
America is not\in Canada. Moreover,
the survivors would bring back to the
United States knowledge Of modern
warfare, which would be of great value if
fate should order that we must continue
to be military nation.
For some reason Pres. Wilson does not
approve the plans of Col Roosevelt
Some people say that the President fears
that if the Col. is allowed to 60 to
France he may return hero, and as a
reward would be elected to the Presi-
dency. The writer does not believe that
Pres. Wilson has fallen to that level
Othersasay that Mr.. Roosevelt is bluffing,
and knows he will not be allowed to exc
cute his plans. If this be the case, the
best thing for Congress to do will be to
''call his bluff" Immediately. The Sen
ate voted in favor and the House against
the Roosevelt plan At this writing it
appears likely that the House will reeede
and concur with the Senate. In that
case it is said that the President will in
terpose his veto. We do not think he
will do this, because if he does so, Teddy
will be elected President in our next Ma
tional election and there will not be
enough left of the Democratic party to
make it worth while to count their votes.

PEPSIN Nux IRON and
sarsaparilia-Fine Course Of Medicine.

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the desirability and diff
ficulty of combining iron-a super
lative tonic-in a blood-purifying,
appetite-giving medicine.
The combination of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been
secured through the happy thought
of prescribing Peptiron Pills in con-
nection with the Sarsaparilla-the
latter to be taken before eating,
Peptiron Pills after.
In this way the two medicines
work tremendously, giving four-fold
results in blood-cleansing and up
building, in very many cases.
Peptiron Pills include pepsin and
iron,-note the name, Peptiron Pills,
-nux vomica, manganese, other
tonics, digestives and laxatives.
What better course of medicine
can you imagine for this season?
You get blood-purifying, appetite
giving, discriminating qualities in
Hoods Sarsaparilla and great
strength-makers in Peptiron Pills.
Buy these medicines today.
