WRONG CONCESSION.

In an address delivered by Frank lin K. Lane before the Editorial Conference Of Business Papers, he went at length into the causes CT the war with Germany upon the part of the United States.
 Advancing from the practical aspect of the American war with Germany and those overt acts which caused the breaking out of hostilities he went out to what one may call the philosophic reasons of the war.
 And he further said America is not fighting merely for an ideal That America is fighting for some thing real, that is vital to us; that we do not wish to go back to the day when one man can impose his will upon a hundred million men, that we wish our country to con tirue it's life upon the basis of com mon consent, and not upon imposed power, that the civilian, the man who works with his hands in the mine, or on the farm, or in the factory, or in the office, is the man who makes modern civilization and that we are fighting for his right to live.
 Those are very fine words indeed They are very ideal. That they re- present an actual fact in modern in dustry is scarcely correct.
 l In America today there are great ! interests which have had and stil seek to maintain the power to i'm pose their will upon their em ployees. They refuse to let then organize. and they refuse to allow them have any say directly or in directly in the wages which the! will receive. There is very little advance from political feudalism tt industrial fcudalism and when ; man can dictate his industrial vii upon the workers. one is hardly in clined to realize the idealistic stat' of such a democracy.
 There is right now, right nov when America is fighting for demo cracy, most determined effort be

RIDING TWO HORSES.

A dispatch says that the conven- ton of Federation of Catholic So- ciet!es in Kansas City, passed reso- lutions in accordance with the Pope's peace proposals. at the same time endorsing and plcdging the support of Catholic America to the war aims of President Wilson.
 Inasmuch 2s the war aims oi Wilson and the Pope's Peace Pro posals are radically different this seems to be a very circumspect method of riding two horses at the same time. Who said it cant be dOna?

Now that food conservation is fairly well under way and the peo- ple of this country are asked to cconomize and to go without that the Allies may be fed, it might not be iniudicious if word was whisp- cred in John Bulls ear to the effect that it does not look well for his brewers to be consuming thirty million bushels of cereal making booze while the American people are going to go on short ration 10 oblige him.

ing made to impose the will of a few upon the many in industry. What about Bisbee where those who opposed the companies and asked for certain concessions in the matter Of living conditions are deDorted? What about Butte where the owner of some of the mines, w A. Clarke said he would clcse them down before granting thousands the right to organize? What about Washington where the lumber barons refused to grant the request Of the Governor to con- cede the eight hour day? What about the cities stirred by traction troubles where the police are warned with the departure of gun men for the scene of the industrial strife that the company is import ing some real bad" men? What about Homestead where the Catho- lie bishop because of trying to get men to go to his church. had to close up shop before the might of the compary's absolutism?
 We don't see why this view of the war is put forward at all. We don't see why the fact that German militarism and German commerce united with militarism-as threat against the worlds sanity and com polling all other nations to embark upon the same terrific route-is not quite sufficient without philosophiC generalizations that Jake Schift himself has to amend by declaring that the war is really to make de- mocracy safe for the world: a signi- ficant statement indeed.
 American interests and Amer ica sympathieS to d large extent were with the Allies and the entry of this country into the war was inevitable. It did not need the eX- citation Of overt acts of frightful- ness, Lusitania cases, the sinking of liners and merchantmen un- warned. tho general and indiscrimi- nate attacks by submarines upon American lives, although these things hastened it. The fact that the fortunes of many of the most powerful in the country were wrap ped up in the final outcome Of the war would have been sufficient tc have finally landed Americans il the middle of it.
 This question of German feudal ism is a pretty big one. It is not a question can be fully solved b! a simple address or a mere news paper article. The popular shar,

OPEN LETTER TO
HON. JNO. K. SHIELDS

Last week the News received
a letter from Hon. Jno. K.
Shields, of the U. S. Senate, or
dering the News and asking for
a personal expression of opinion.
Here is what was sent him:
Affairs at Washington are
not going to suit the people of
this section, and emphatic state
ments are frequently made that
IN the next election a change
must be made. The war fever
has not reached this section, and
the people believe that they and
their interests are being betray-
ed by the present administration.
The proposed revenue bill is
highly Objectionable, for the
reason that county, state and
national taxes are getting bur-
densome. Added to this that
food is scarce and high priced
with poor crop prospects so far
makes the discomfort far reach
ing. The people are as loyal as
ever. and if the Germans had
contemplated an attack on this
country it would have been i'm
possible to have held them back
against an enemy of their coun-
try. Last fall a cry went up ov-
er the country that an embargo
be declared on foodstuffs, that
they should not leave this coun- |
try, but our president said it was
impracticable. Now we notice |
the power has been given him, |
but it is too late to think of lock-
ing the stable after the horse has
been stolen. Let the charity
which President Wilson claims
should be extended towards for
eign nations be extended towards
the American people who should
be the Presidents first thought.
One live American is worth any
number of dead Germans, and
one good road in America is
worth a million battleships.

ELECTION A SURPRISE.

The result of the Whitwell cleo
ton for new school trustees was
surprise. The News was una.
ware that there was such fight
over the election as developed.
1t is reported to us chat the result
was intended as a sort of echo of
the bond bill, showing where the
people stand when legislation is
directed their way without con-
81 corning their wishes either for or
against a measure. The truth of
the matter is that people are get
ting more and more jealous of
their right of self government
and do not care who they trample
on when they get in their way.
The recent Whitwell school trus-
tees numbered some mighty good
men and it is to be regretted that
defeat was theirs. Can it be that
this WhitWell election is an ink
ling of the temper of the people
over the proposed election over
the question of more bonds for
this county for road purposes. If |
so there is certain defeat staring
the measure in the face, and it is
to be regretted as it is the fairest
measure ever proposed to the
people of Marion county. How
ever. the people. as far as We can
learn, are decidedly against bonds
for road purposes and prefer most
any scheme of direct taxation to
that. The bond method of pay
ing for roads is too costly, how,
ever much it may be preferred by
people outside of the county who
have money to lend.

The time before childbirth is one

of the body.
For many years thousands of
women have successfully used the

much of the pain at the crisis is
