The Man Higher Up

Duluth News Tribune: Our gov
eminent is still chasing Haywood
agents while 1t does not disturb big
Bill" under whose directions all of
these work and without whose
orders they do nothing. Handbills
are scattered over the mining region
at night. II those who do this can be
found they will be arrested.
But the man who ordered these
bill to be scattered, who dictated
their contents, who planned the
whole program of disturbance, sits
in safety in Chicago gathering in the
membership fees.
There was in past years great
complain that the law skipped the
men higher up" and only punished
their employed agents. None voiced
these charges more loudly than the
]. w. w. What was the fact then
as to capital is true now as to these
revolutionists.
The federal agents pick off the
idiot fringe" and let the one man
higher up, who alone Is responsible
for all this law defiance and hostility
to the government, go scot free. He
does not care how many of his dupes
are jailed. This only feeds him with
propaganda material.
The one way to quash the /. w. w.
is to Jail Haywood and the rest OF
his executive committee, who In fact
are the organization.

care not what fair homeland you
may claim,
Nor to which monarch you may
homage pay;
If you have crossed the oceans
unmarked way
And still can boast some foreign na-
tons fame
Your action bids you bend your head
for shame.
For now is come the acid testing
day
When every man must on the altar
lay
Allegiance to Americas fair name
Or play the Judas part. Show me
the man
Who in his struggle for the cause
OF right
Cannot support the Presidents broad

Nor back it with his money and
his might
Democracy's fair dawn he cannot
scan
His deeds are evil and he hates

able to secure the most favorable
insurance rate. in peace time, are
denied as soldiers the necessary life
insurance to enable them to protect
their families and dependents. The
extra hazardous risks of war puts
insurance entirely beyond the reach
OF the conscripted soldier.
THE government which subjects
these men to this insurmountable
discrimination should itself supply
insurance to soldiers at cost and up
on the peace. basis. It would IN fact
be dastardly and undemocratic il the
government should penalize the SOL
der who is forced to render the
highest duty Of the citizen, by falling
to provide for him war insurance up
on peace terms and at net cost. The
pay of the enlisted men In the army
and navy is less than the wages and
salaries generally earned in private
life and government insurance is an
essential war and emergency meas

fit Of our military forces and can not
and should not be conducted for
profit.
"This legislation will be a great
step forward in the recognition OF
the republics duty to it's heroes. 1t

port Of the country. The United
States should set the highest
example of all the nations in the
treatment of those who do and die
for their country and for world
freedom"

Match 1t If You Can

Louisville Courier Journal: So far
as heard from Larue county, in this
state, holds the banner under the
operation Of the select draft law.
Larue's quota for the new army
under that law is 1872 men. Every
one of the first 1872 called promptly
answered and appeared before the
board. Every one of them met the
physical requirements. Not one Of
them asked exemption, and every
one of them was accepted for serv-
ice.
Match that record If you can.
Is there another county in all the
United States that can answer this
challenge?

PEACE WITHIN GRASP.

Several weeks ago The Forum
suggested to the German newspaper
Of the state that the best service
they could render their fellow coun-
trymen would be to give all possible
aid and encouragement to the forma-
ton of a German republic or at least
more democratic form of govern
ment than the present.
The Cincinnati Volksblatt, one OF
the influential German newspapers
Of the country, blazes a trail out OF
the swamps of sedition, and points
the one way in which It is possible
to be loyal to both America and the
German people.
In its comment on President Will
sons reply to Pope Benedict's peace
proposals, 1t says:
The gist of the Presidents
note to the Pope is contained in
the following words: The punt
tive damages, the dismembership
OF empires, the establishment Of
selfish and exclusive economic
leagues, we deem inexpedient
and in the end worse than futile,
no proper basis for a peace of
any kind, least OF all for an
enduring peace" This is an un-
equivoCal announcement to the
German allies that peace is with
in their grasp by changing their
forms Of government in making
them more responsive to the will
of the people, and they ought
without delay to comply with
this demand. 1t also is an an
nouncement to our allies that the
United States are in the war for
lofty and unselfish purposes, and
not to aid them in their schemes
of conquest and world dominion.
For this exposition OF his aims
the President is entitled to the
gratitude of all mankind.

THE RICHEST MAN.

Fred Hadley OF The Winnebago
Enterprise: The richest man that we
know Of is poor in this worlds goods.
but he is rich in friendship and love
of his fellowmen; opulent in faith
and optimism; wealthy in the her.
itage left him by the great sages,
authors and philosophers Of bygone
generations; rich in tolerance and
understanding, and rich in knowledge
of the ways of men. These riches. 1t
seems to us, are more worth while.
more essential to happiness and real
success than all the clinking gold
and shining silver that could be
heaped together. For. at best, gold
and silver are but metallic things,
while faith, love, knowledge, toler-
ance, optimism are boons beyond
vaIuing in price and money. This
richest man knows the secret OF the
rose, the message of the birds, tbs
soIemnity and grandeur OF nature,
and the radiant hope of the smile OF
cooling child. It Is true that he has
no mansion, no coach and four, no
servants-but these are but tawdry
things that money can buy. His
riches are beyond barter-and the
name OF this richest man Is T. C..

LESSON NO. IL.
TEAMWORK IN The ARMY.

Ter. 4. Getting ready for Camp. 5.
First Days in Camp. s. Cleanliness
in Camp. Z. Your Health. s. March
ing and Care Of Feet. 8. Your Equip
ment and Arms. 10. Recreation in
Camp. IL. Playing the Game.)
So far in this course we have been
taking up some of the problems
which each soldier has to face and
solve for himself; how TO adjust
himself as quickly as possible to the
routine Of camp life; how to keep
himself and all HIS belongings clean
in spite of the difficulties in the way;
how to look after his own health and
comfort; how to take care OF arms
and equipment; and how to get real
enjoyment, as well as benefit, out of
army life. a.. -a
If the course were to stop just at
this point, 1t might leave in your
mind a false impression. For after
all, the soldier is not an individual
player in the great game of war; he
is valuable chiefly as member OF a
team. 1t is a team of enormous size.
It is organized in rather complicat-
ed way. This team we cali the army.
Your army life will be more in
teresting if you know in a general
way how the team is organized.
This will enable you to see more
clearly where you fit in and what is
expected OF you.
If you have been working for a
business concern, you are already
familiar with many of the elements
of army organization. You have been
in touch with the same things under
different names.
srr. Need For Teamwork.
In a factory or store or office
wherever large numbers of people
are working together-there is al
most always some one in direct
charge Of each group of workers.
This person may be called foreman
in the shop, a chief clerk in an Of
fee, a floor walker in a department
store, or by any one of a number of
other titles; in the army we call
him a corporal or a sergeant. Going
up a step, you know that in every
large concern there are numerous
officers who take charge of various
departments Of the business such as
the superintendent, the traffic man
ager,, the advertising manager, the
sales manager, the secretary, the
vice president and so on; in the
army we call the men in correspond
ing positions captains. majors, colo
nels and generals. Finally, you have
at the top of the business concern a
president or a general manager who
directs everything; in the army he is
a commanding general. #f
This general likeness between busi-
ness organization and army organ
ization ls helpful, but must not be
carried too far. There is one vital
difference: The average business
concern is somewhat easy-going;
the responsibility for each piece of
work is not always definitely fixed.

FoR AN "HoNEsT EDITOR"


Cheer up brethren Of the Fourth
Estate.
Just the other day the editor of an
Iowa country weekly was left $4,000
in the will Of a subscriber, 'for run
ming an honest newspaper.
Don't heed the sneers OF your
critical friends and your enemies:
But Of course that couldn't happen
to you. He said an honest newspa-
per-"
When you get notice that white
paper has gone up another notch, or
some advertiser complains Of posi-
ton" and threatens to cancel his
contract, or an angry subscriber re-
sents the mistake of a compositor.
just fill up the old corncob, put your
feet on the desk and think about
that Iowa editor. Maybe that invisi-
BILE audience you talk to every week
contains another with $4,000 and the
desire to leave it to an honest edi-
tor.
But even If you never get the $S,-
900, 1t is some satisfaction when you
put the paper to bed on Thursday
afternoon, to be able to feel you
have tried to qualify. OF course the
editor of city newspaper wouldn't
know what to do with an extra $S,-
900.

Lots of men who think war must
be awful will go into a barber shop
willingly and climb up into the bar
ricade to suffer without a whimper.
After the barber has you well penned
in with towel entanglements he
starts a line of atrocities that are as
good as anything the war has to Of
fer.
A man with a rugged constitution
can spend an hour and a half in the
BARRIERS chair and come through 1t
with whole skin. II he has no
broken arches, poor teeth or heart
trouble he may be able to take all
the barber can sell him without
breaking down in health.
With only the customers head ex--
posed the BARRIERS work has its
limitations. but he makes the most
OF it, IL there is anything that
hasn't been done to your head when
he is through it's because he'd rath-
er do something else. The face is
beaten, pulled, wiped, scraped, pick
ed. rubbed and jerked. The scalp Is
soaked, scorched, boiled, dried and
peeled. Some BARRIERS overlook the
ears. Others wrap a towel around
their forefinger and 1ab and poke
both ears.
If you are able to stand on your
feet after this the BARRIERS accom-
plice sneaks up from behind and jars
you with a whack of the whisk-
broom. For ten cents he viii let YOU
be. This is cheaper than hitting
him back and paying q fve-dollar
