Our Secretary of the
Treasury Has Been Where
The People Are Thinking

After a speaking tour of the middle
and western cities, Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo sums up the popular
sentiment of these regions thus
"This war was forced on Uncle Sam.
Now that he is in it, we don't intend
that he shall be licked"
This is correct and it probably would
fit all sections of the country. The mid
die west, west and far west were not for
war. The people of these regions would
rather farm than fight any time. They
expressed their views in November last.
They were honestly, not weakly or COW
ardly pacific. They were pacific as the
result of serious thinking and, when war
became a national necessity, they went
into the war business with the same seri-

Up TO last fall, they thought that the
country west of the Aleqhanies was dead

They counted the votes Of New York
and few other eastern bailiwicks and

a man that knows too much is as liable
to get into trouble ass a man that knows
too little
To get along We must keep step
A person with a sharper conscience
than ours irritates us quite-as much
as one whose moral sense is duler than
oar own.
Even if fortune tellers, seers, and all
readers Of future were not takers they
would be nuisances. For knowledge Of
tomorrow is bad for anybody.
The future is the drink of. the gods:
it's entirely roo heady for mortals.
So the most successful statesman is
one who has not too much vision, is a
good deal Of an opportunist, and floats
along i'm the same boat with his fellows.
He must share their ignorance and pre-
sent fatuousness to be popular.
Garrison and Phillips during the civil
war We're hated about as soundly as the
Shareholders yet they stood just where
we all stand now but they went too fast
for the crowd.
There is no doubt that tho time Is
coming when much Of the heat of our
present nationalism will seem provincial
and absurd in the light of the larger
sense of humanity. But just now a man
that talks about the welfare Of the hu-
man race is as welcome as a burglar.
What do we care about humanity? It's
America for us.
When Bouck White burned the ma
tional flag in a ceremony he devised TO
show the greater Importance of interna-
tionalsm and world feeling over local
patriotism. he made his symbolism too
strikingly plain We are getting there,
but we hate 20 be pushed.
So when John Hayes Holmes insisted
on sticking 10 the universal ethics Of
Jesus while the rest of us were Just
catching up with Joshua it angered US.
On the crosses outside the gate Of
Jerusalem they crucihed not only the
two thieves, laggards in morals, but also
Jesus, whose morality was too advanced.
Those who claim they do absolutely
what they think is right all the time
| would not call them hypocrites, for they
are usually sincere but what they mean
is that they are up to the average You
can be as good as the people around you
and manage quite well.
But while YOU can see the absolute
right, and talk about it, and preach it,
and praise il, if you try to do it you will
not only lose your job but probably your
friends, and are lucky If you do not land

( Collier in Nothing but the Truth"2
It's a queer world and the queerest
thing in it is the human conscience.
The real, actual working conscience Of
the world operates to maintain order, to
preserve conformity. And we are just
as angry at the man who is too far
ahead-the martyr, prophet, or savior
as we are with the one who is too far
behind such as the thief and robber.

Heroes Need No Bonus.

The attempt to divide Americans
into classes by providing for spec
eial tax on incomes over $4,000 to
pay officers and enlisted men in
France $50 month bonus through
out their foreign service was rightly
defeated by an overwhelming majori-
ty in the Senate. The vote Of forty
seven to FIVE, by which the proposed
amendment was defeated, is an ex-
eellent index of the patriotism OF
Congress. 1t shows also that how
ever pacifist propaganda may be
cloaked by parliamentary procedure
it is not likely to make much head
way in Congress.
1t is not necessary to bribe Amerl-
can soldiers to go to France to tight
for their country. They need no such
inducement. Wherever the battle line
of defense may be they are willing
to go there to fight for the flag.
The Senate is aware that the sons
of capitalists, like the sons of labor,
have been drafted for the service OF
their country. No line has been
drawn in the se!ective service law.
The cantonments have gathered IN
rich men as we'll as poor men. Al
are equally willing to do their bit for
their country.
The battle line of America happens
to be in France. The nation will be
defended there with the same vale
as would be shown if German troops

RED CROSS AT EHRHARDT.
Much Being Accomplished by the La
dies OF That Live Town.

Ehrhardt. November 2l.-Stretch-
| ed across in front of the old drug
store in Ehrhardt is large sign. In
the center Of this is a red cross.
Painted at the top are the words
Red Cross" at the bottom Head
quarters" and on either side OF the
cross are the words What About
Your Part?" This old store is. of
course, the headquarters Of the Ehr-
hardt Red Cross chapter. and here
the ladies are making things hum. y
Some months ago, Dr.. +. o. Wat
son and Miss Mary Livingston came
down and helped in organizing a
branch of the Red Cross. There were
forty-three charter members. Through
the splendid work of Mrs. S. W..
COPELAND. as membership chairman,
there are now over one hundred and
thirty members, and more are coming
in all the time. The majority Of
these are not members in name on
ly. They are workers. Up until a
few days ago material was not to be
had. However, a good supply has
now been secured and the sewing
machines are humming both at head
quarters and in dozens of homes in
town. Mrs. Max Walker, as chair
man of the finance committee, has
done good work and has raised sew
eral hundred dollars for the cause.
Articles of numerous kinds are now
being made for the soldiers, and there
will be money to carry the work on
and on.
Mrs. Walker is not alone in her
work to raise money. The school
girls have caught the spirit of the
movement. A few days ago FIVE of
them, dressed in spotless white, wear
ing white caps which bore red
cross. were at work, as they said,
for the soldier boys. That night they
brought in over fifty dollars for the
cause.
Almost every afternoon the Red
Cross room is open and anyone who
can and is willing to knit or to sew
may get material and instruction
there. The work may be done there
or taken home. When the room is
not open Mrs. J. NJ. Dannelly will
furnish material and instruction at
her. home. 49,.
While Ehrhardt is interested in
Red Cross work, she does not stop
there. Quite neat sum was real

An interesting incident occurred while
subscriptions we're being taken at one
of the churches. There VS. a little
girl in the audience who had started
a bank account of her own. She had
saved and deposited few dollars.
On her own account she subscribed
every cent of her savings to the
cause. The writer wished in MS
heart that the kaiser could have
heard that and could realize the splr-
il that is behind such acts as this one,
a. spirit of sacrifice and patriotism
which is stirring the hearts OF the
women and children of the natlon'
