Farm labor is become a problem of greater
proportions than ever before. It will be a vex-
ing matter during the entire period Of the war,
as men Of military age and capabilities by
thousands will be withdrawn from all civilian
pursuits. The volume of farm production will
be increased notably. This makes the farm la
Dor problem more intricate from two angles.

Could we but draw back the cur
tains
That surrounds each others life.
Sec the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spun the actions gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer, than we judged we should
We should love each other better
If we only understood
Ii we judged all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner,
All the while we loath the sin .
Could we know the powers working
To Ger throw integrity,
We should Judge each others errors
With more patient charity
IF we knew the cares and trials
Knew the effort all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim, external roughness-
Seem, I wonder just the same?
Should we help, where now we
hinder?
Could we pity where we blame?
All! we Judge each other harshly,
knowing not life's hidden face;
knowing not the fount of action.
Is less turbid at its source,
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
Oh! we'd love each other better

Chapter So, Session Laws of 1917,
providing for the employment of adj
ditionai deputies by county clerks, is
held to be unconstitutional by Attor-
ney General Harry L. Patton in an
opinion written for State Travelling
Auditor A. G.. Whittier. The law
provides that whenever the total cash
receipts on account of fees collected
by any of the county clerks shall
exceed the amount of salary. deputy
hire and expense now allowed by
law. one-half the amount of such
excess may be expended in the en-
pioyment of additional deputies. 1t
further provides that the salaries of
such additional deputies shall be fix
ed by the county commissioners. Mr..
Patton holds the law to be uncons-
titutional because the legislature de-
legates the authority given it under
the constitution to fix salaries to
the county commissioners. and be-
cause the expenditures for additio-
nal deputies would be in effect in
creases in the salaries of county
clerks, the constitution providing
that the salary of no county officer
shall be increased during his term
of office. In . similar case the
court of California held that
any allowance for deputy hire in re-
atty increased the pay Of 4 county
officer, As he received the benefit
from the expenditure.

TIE AMERICAN ANSWER

President Wilson gave yesterday the
only answer that could be given hon
orably TO the German Governments
last arrogant and brutal note. In that
note the United States was hidden
practically to efface itsclf--to forcgo
its rights on the high seas as sacri-
flee to German military necessities.
II has not been the habit Of the
United States TO yield to intimidation
of that sort. We fought the Beys and
Pachas of the Barbary States when
they tried TO make us pay tribute for
the privilege Of navigating the waters
of the Western Mediterranean. When
we were a weak and impoverished ma
ton, woefully unprepared to attack
others or even to defend ourselves, we
declared war on Great Britain because
Great Britain had abridged and volat-
ed our maritime rights.
We are rich and powerful nation
now, although still woefully unprepar-
ed for either offence or defence. But
our lamentable condition Of unprepar
cdness-due TO long governmental
neglcct--could not excuse us from fac
ing Germany's challenge as firmly and
courageously as the feeble, morgan
lied United States OF Madisons time
faced the challenge of Great Britain
then, as now, the mistress of the seas.
For President Wilson has met Ger
many's challenge fatty and squarely.
Whatever faith he may still have in
Germany's Discrimination to force war
on the United States--to leave unful-
filled her threat to resume indiscrim-
mate submarine warfare on neutrals
and non combatants--he has now put
II beyond the power Of the United
States TO debar automatically any
longer the iIlegality Of Germany's
acts.
With the dismissal Of Ambassador
Won Bcrnstorif and the recall Of Am
bassador Gerard the issue between the
United States and Germany is finally
