LIT BE WALK WITH
TIVE ZEN LN TIE ROAD


IT'S only a half truth the poet has
sung
Of the ''house BY the side Of the
way"
Our Master had neither a house nor
a home,
But He walked with the crowd day
by day,
And / think. when read the poets
desire,
That house by the road would be
good;
But service is found in its tenderest
form
When we walk with the crowd in
the road.
So / say let me walk with the men
in the road,
LIE me seek out the burdens that
crush,
Let me speak kind word of good
cheer to the weak
Who are falling behind in the rush.
There are wounds to be healed, there
are breaks we must mend,
There's a cup Of cold water to
give;
And the man in the road by the side
of his friend
Is the man who has learned to live.
Then tell me no more Of the house
by the road;
There Is only one place / can live.
It's there with the men who are toll
ing along,
Who are needing the cheer can
give.
1t is pleasant to i've in the house by
the way
And be a friend, as the poet has
said;
But the Master is bidding US, "Bear
ye their load,
For your rest waiteth yonder
ahead"
/ could not remain in the house by the
road
And watch as the tsilers go on,
Their faces beclouded with pain and
with sin,
So burdened, their strength nearly
gone.
III go to their side, III speak in good
cheer,
III help them to carry their load;
And III smile at the man in the house
by the way,
AS / walk with the crowd in the
road.
Out there in the road that goes by
the house,
Where the poet is singing his song,
III walk and I'll work midst the heat
of the day,
And III help falling brothers
along
Too busy to live in the house by the
way,
Too happy for such an abode.
And my heart sings its praise to the
Master of all,
Who is helping me serve in the
road.

Koss declares that his discovery will
not only answer the problem Of the

every man his OWN dyer. The gera.
mum is the best subject for dye max.
ing, he explains, because Of the guam

SOLIDIFYING D-EUROPE.

The New Republic-one of the editors of
which, Walter. Wellman has been selected as an
advisor to Secretary of War Baker-warns our
allies that a too rigid insistence upon drastic peace
terms will have the effect Of solidifying Central
Europe.
Nothing, the periodical states in effect, will
prop up the house of autocracy so effectually as
for the allies to seek dismemberment Of the cen
trail empires. The danger is that the talk of crush
ing and dismembering Germany, Austria, Bulgar-
ia and Turkey will cause these four empires to
form into one ""for protection" just like the king
dons of Bavaria and Wurtemberg were coalesced
with the German empire in 1871 and made it
strong enough to swamp France in less than a
year.
The point is well taken. Nothing, it can be log
ically assumed, will do 50 much to cause the enemy
to hold out as unnecessary threats Of extinction.
Our purpose was not to extinguish nations, but to
extinguish a system.

OUR NEWS FED OUT OF A SPOON.


We are glad that Congress has not muzzled
the American press, although every one knows
that what little news we get from abroad comes
through British censors and is measured to suit
our needs as seen by these more or less laundering
personages.
The Independent points out that the Contem-
porary Review of Great Britain was not allowed
to ome to America because it criticised the con-
duct of the war. The Nation is also deprived Of
using the British foreign mails because in a re-
cent article, discussing the retirement of the Ger
mans on the Somme it said: "For some time our
army has been relentlessly pressing the sector
from which the Germans retreated, yet we find
that the enemy slipt away, leaving few prisoners
or material behind him."
Several other instances of the censorship's sup
preston are given by the American magazine,
which argues against an internal censorship by
our own government. We thoroughly agree that
the people here have sense enough to take in the
truth and fight the battle out. Of course, no one
wants military news published, but who can see
a good reason for allowing few officers to decide
what ought to be published to a nation of l00,-
000, 1000?

ADVERTISING AND TRUTH.

The advertising clubs of the country have had
their convention in st. Louis and again the key
note was truth in advertising" There are no
such haters of misleading statements in print as
the men and women composing the recognized
clubs of the country, and their efforts within the
last decade has done wonders to place advertising
upon an eminently reliable plane. Truth is a
prerequisite to admittance into the columns of a
large variety Of publications, including the major
ity of the daily press, and though it is impossible
for publications to investigate every proposition
offered, there are scarcely any left that will accept
advertising Of concerns which on their face appear
questionable. In fact, between the high standards
Of advertising in our time and the rigid laws prom
ulgated by the government in relation to misuse
Of the mails the goldbrick gentry face extermina-
ton.
