FIGHTING WOMEN.

The young women of revolutionary Rus
STA, who donned boots and blouses and
grabbed carbines, considerably to the amuse-
ment of the western world, have earned the
right to another kind Of consideration.
These young women, strange as that ap-
pears, were not posing, not setting a fad.
They really meant business.
Now the whole civilized world may re-
spectfully take off its hat to the embattled
girls Of Miss Butchareffs Command of
Death, which went into action on the Gal
ician front, held off the Germans valiantly
as long as that could be done, and then
counter-attacked in a fury of self sacrifice
to permit safe withdrawal of other units of
the army. No man who volunteers himself
to go to war or who considers it manful Of
anyone else to volunteer is justified in call
ing these young women fanatics. No one.
OF course, has ever doubted the essential
courage of women. But never before has
their courage been proved to be the kind
that could survive the coarse and bloody and
fendishly mathematical slaughter of mod
ern battlefield
Hungry women once before in history
captured a king. A bigger role than VIC
may be disposed to accord them may BE-
claimed by women in the business of set
Ting this war right.

Your Right of Way.

There is a plenty of room in the world for
everybody. Who claims any special right of
way for himself? There are such claimants
IN plenty. The great, burly fellow for in
stance (whose name might be spelled with
three letters) wants it. In the subway. re-

and small children right and left. He claim
ed the right of way
A young man, whose dollars are more
than he can count, claims the right of wav
because of his dollars. Not that he has earn
ed them; he doesn't know their cost; he only
cares that they are his, and will help him
to the right of way he seeks. Money talks.
and he seems to be saying, through its voice:
Stand aside! / ride in golden auto; there
fore the highway of life belongs to me. Out
of my way, or I'll run you DOWN.
What is the result? He fourishes for a
time; but by and by he runs against the
chariot of character. There is a collision. He
discovers that his auto wasn't genuine that
it was made of fools gold.
Here is a youth with claims of another
sort His dollars are few and hard-earned.
and yet he wants the right of way to some
of the opportunities of life. He has eyes to
see with, ears to hear with, and hands to
do with His motive power is the purpose
to merit the things he seeks. He decides that
the train of his conduct shall be needed by
the engine of principles. And so he seeks
the way Of right, and finds a glorious right
of way.

THE IRRESPONSIBLE JOYRIDER.

A contemporary makes this very timely
and truthful observation:
"Strict observance of the road laws
and local speed limits will not prevent
trouble when one meets an irresponsi-
BILE jOyrider. The same principle makes
it impossible for the most peaceably dis
posed of nations to make sure of keep
ing out of war"
The case is we'll put in the foregoing.
Nobody, however, is advocating that people
with legitimate business and having full
rights upon the highway should surrender
those rights, and stay at home because the
joyriders make the highway dangerous The
thing to do under such circumstances is to
make the joyrider observe the rights of 9TH
ers, at whatever cost. Likewise, a nation
that undertakes to violate the rights of
everybody upon the high seas must not be
permitted to do it, if there is enough power
in the world to prevent it. A principle is
involved that cannot be lightly set aside.

Of annual sessions of the legislature he

An advocate Of biennial sessions, like our
Savannah contemporary, complaining at a
do-nothing legislative is glazing inconsist-
enc. The main idea Of session Of the gen
eral assembly once every two years is to
prevent enactment of needless and unneces-
sary legislation, and when that body fails
to enact a mass Of needless laws they should
be commended instead of criticized.
We know of no legislation that is special
ly needed, and the barbecues, local bills and
politics have done the state good service
if they have kept legislation down to the
minimum. They should be made an annua
feature of the session.

CHICKEN THIEVES ARE
BOLD IN WEST NEWTON

Chicken thieves are getting busy in
West Newton, and several poultry
houses have been robbed within the past
week or two. Last Saturday night the
premises of George Palmer of that town
ship were invaded and some seventy-five
of Mr.. Palmer's choicest fowls stolen.
About a week earlier Henry Biebl, a
farmer near St. George, was the loser
of about thirty-five chickens by thieves,
and on the same night the light-il, e.el
gentry visited the hen house of Herman
Steffen, neighbor Of Mr.. Biebl, and
carried away number of his fowls. So
far there is no clue to the robbers.
The farmers of that vicinity are threat
ening to organize vigilance committee
for the purpose Of running down and
bringing to justice the innumerable
number of chicken thieves that seem to
be invading the country at present,
It is probable that in case of capture the
chicken robbers would get a taste of the
treatment melted out to horse thieves
in the early days of the country.
