Major Stuart Stephens sees an APP
proach to the end when the British
artillery dominates that of the Ger
man armies but insists that the final
blow will await the coming of the
Americans to supply the 'man pow
err; after peace has come we will hear
that the British artillery was the real
force while America was allowed to
enter as urtesy-Times-U Union.
Isn't this statement on the part of
the Times Union dictated by it's pre-
JUDGE against Great Britain? Has it
any evidence to offer in support of it !?
There are no people on earth more
given to Dragging on what they have
done, what they haven't done) or
what they intend to do, than Ameri-

DEATHS 1T A WALL
OR A DOOR?

William Winter, the dramatic critic,
aho died in New York the other day,
wrote the following poem in 1908:
One other bitter drop to drink,
And then-no morei
One little pause upon the brink
And then-go o'erl
One sight and then the ibrant morn
Of perfect day
When my free spirit, newly born,
Viii soar away!
One pang and shall rend the thrall
Where grief abides,
And generous Death will show me
all
That now he hides;
And, lucid in that second birth,
I shall discern
What all the sages of the earth
Have died to learn.
One motion and the stream is crost,
So dark, so deep
And | shall triumph, or be lost
In endless sleep.
Then, onward! Whatsoever my fate,
| shall not care!
Nor Sin, nor Sorrow, Love nor Hate
Can touch me there.

trigues of Germany which are even
now going forward in the United
States. The agenty of Germany, he
says, dare not now work openly. They
must not speak as Germans. They
feign the language of Americans, but
their real aim is to make trouble
among the Allies, and bring about a
great demand for peace. All these
plans viii fail, says the president, and
he warns those who dare oppose the
will of the American nation of the
desperate risks they rum"

A friend sends US the article head
ed "South Blamed for the Negro Ex-
odus,D reproduced elsewhere from the
New York Times, and asks us to an
swer it. There is no use in answering
such stuff. 1t is written by people who
prefer to lie about the South even
when they know they are lying. The
time has passed when the South needs
to try to answer such charges. The
New York Times is owned and, we
suppose, managed, by Adolph S.
Ochs, who gained his start in the
Southern city of Chattanooga. We
knew him at time when he was less
tolerant of negroes than his southern
born neighbors. He knows, if his edi-
tors do not, that such signs as "Ne-
groes and Dogs not Admitted" do not
appear in the South, and if he had
proper regard for the reputation of
his paper he would not allow such
statements to appear in it. Anyone
who really wants to know the status
Of the southern negro should visit
this typical southern town, where the
negroes have their own bank, stores
and theater, where they have all the
work they will do at fair wages, and
where hundreds of them own their
homes; where the white people pay
most Of the taxes that educate their
children, and where there is little or
no trouble between the races. Rot
such as apepars in the article in the
Times is written by negroes who are
disconnected with their own race.
They want to force themselves on
white people, to mingle with them So
ciaIly, to pay attentions to white
women and neglect their own. Such
negroes cant live in the South, and
they will only have to show their
hands to make it impossible for them
to live in the north. In view of the
recent occurrences in East st. Louis
the article in the Times is ridiculous
as well as untruthful.

There has been contrived an aero
plane camera which takes small photo

sets the shutter, makes the exposure,
winds up the previous exposure, and
registers the number of the photograph.

Cats is not very well informed, but
he knows enough to know the United

him go to France in any military
capacity; therefore he is perfectly
safe in handing out such buncombe.

Speaking of the bill before Con-
gress to appropriate $4,000 for the
eradication of the cattle tick in the
United States Senator Gore several
days ago said: "Mr. President, I
would rather have the reputation of
Graduating the cattle tick in Ameri-
lea than to have the reputation of
having taken fenced city. We have
wasted already almost one-tenth of
the amount asked for in our delibera-
tons upon this bill"

employment.-Tampa Tribune.

Fred Moore, editor of the New York

'gThe friends of the saloonkeepers
denounce their opponents for not treat
ing the saloon business like any other.
The best answer to this is that the
business is not like any other business,
and that the actions of the saloon
keepers themselves conclusiYely prove
this to be the case. 1t tends to pro-
duce criminality in the population at
large and lawbreaking among the
saIoonkeepers themselves. When the
liquor men are allowed TO do as they
wish, they are sure to debauch, not
only the body social. but the body poll
tic also. "-Theodore Roosevelt.

LOWER PER CAPITA DEBT IN DRY
STATES THAN IN WET.
The report of the United States
census bureau shows that, as rule,
wet states have higher per capita in
debtedness than dry states. A COM
mission appointed-by Governor Mccall
of Massachusetts to investigate the
high cost of living, mentions incidental
~ in its published report that the cost
of government is % per cent higher
in that state than in any other. For
mer Governor Foss says this can be
traced directly TO the liquor traffic.

How to Treat q Cut.

When you have a cut, a scratch, .
bruise or any other kind of injury,
paint it with iodine. AS soon as in
jured, dip a toothpick with cotton
rolled on the end of it in the iodine,
and paint over the wound without
washing. The iodine will kill all the
germs in the dirt that gets into the
wound, while washing only drives the
germs farther into the flesh. When
painted with the iodine, wrap the in
jured part in a clean cloth for a cou-
pie of days.

Mrs. John Savage of North Wool
wich, who was assaulted Friday by
big, burly negro at the Bath ceme-
terry, has not yet recovered from the
shock. Mrs. Savage's husband and
daughter went to the circus, the
Sparks show, and not wishing to go,
Mrs. Savage started for stroll through
the grounds of the cemetery. She
noted the negro. Drawing out keys
from his pocket, he fitted one into a
lcck Of the tomb, near which she was
passing and she naturally thought he
was one of the crew employed on the
grounds. He not only. knocked. her
down, but tried to gag her, so her
cries for help could not be heard. Mrs
Savage was so relieved to escape that
she Gid not report the affair to the DO
lice and so her assailant easily got
away.
