L.
of Secretary Daniels what some papers
have said of him. The trouble with
Daniels is that he has put his foot down
hard OH graft.
There fine fuss in the chemistry
department at the university, and ap-
propriately enough, rather odorous. It
may be that an investigating commit
tee of the legislature, fairly CONSTITUTE
ed, might do some good.
One European writer says he hopes
the Great War, among the many
changes it will bring, may emancipate
in summer and collars at any time.
Considering the price Of shoes-well,
here's hoping.
The proposal for general compen-
sation and insurance law to take care
of the incapacitated soldiers and sail
ors Of the United States and their fam
lilies, rather ttinan ipy d pension system,
IS meeting acceptance.
A short, sharp, successful war, a
lasting and durable peace. That IS
what most folks wish. No war so far
waged has been success as creator
of lasting peace. If the greatest Of
wars does not change this, the fighting
will hardly have been worth while.
The American Red Cross authorities
have announced that there is no foun-
dation to the rumor, evidently inspired
from malicious motives, that the nurs-
ing sisterhoods of the Catholic church
would not be allowed to assist in the
care Of wounded sailors and soldiers.
Every battlefield Of Europe knows the
Sister, and it was ridiculous to believe
any discrimination possible here.
Every one in the county who posi-.
bly, can should attend the farewell
ceremonies to do honor to the drafted
men who will shortly be called from
among us to become members of the
National army. The war is a fact and
that the men are to 60 from among us
is fact, and it is therefore proper
that every one, no matter how the ego
ing away pulls at your heart strings
to show the boys that your hope is
with them in this great crisis. Be
there.
Nothing else much matters when the
IA, IN is at war, when the nation faces
s~preme crisis and millions of her
sons offer themselves on the altar of
sacr1nce-and yet, vigilance must not
sleep. Extortion and exploitation have
no no. excuse at such time-indeed
less-than they ever had, but the ex-
tortione1 and the exploiter rarely sleen.
