WOODROW WILSON. WORD
WIZARD.

President Wilson's last message to
congress is, by long odds the best ne
has ever promulgated and one of the
most clarified and strongest state
documents ever given to the nation.
The President is past master OF the
English language, but is little. in
clined to redundancy and language
camofouge. A witty commentator
once, described him a "word drunk
ard" In this message, however, he
abandoned all rhetorical flourish and
elouuential extravaganza and produc-
ed a document which for eloquent
simplicity of statement and under
standable directness reminds one OF
Lincoln and Thomas B. Reed. Every
sentence is a rifle bullet and hits the
bullseye.
1t is one of the shortest messages
he ever gave to congress and by TAI
the most comprehensive. 1t does not
contain a statement that the ordinary
mind cannot comprehend. His illum-
mating statement of the American
objects in the war is by far the best
resume of the situation so far pres
ented. To our mind the only possible
weakness contained therein is the
fact that he did not recommend the

their uneasy hour and be forgotten
"The national partnership that will
secure an abiding peace is partner

uership of Governments"
"The Russian people have been
poisoned by the same poisons that
have kept the German peopio, in the
dark and administered by the same
hands,"
"In many cases the law OF supply
and demand has been set aside by the
law of unrestrained selfshness."
His recommendation that all ap-
preparations be handled by one com,
mittee is such plain common sense
that any representative that votes
against the proposition will have t.
answer to the people.
Nothing in language is finer thar
his close:
"The supreme moment of histor.

declaration of state of war between
Bulgaria and Turkey, especially Turk
ey as we'll as with Austria. AS it is
now we are placed in the anomalous
position of being in armed conflict
with these countries without a war
declaration, but doubtless he had
good reason for this action which
will appear later. TO our mind If this
war does not result in the expulsion
of the unspeakable Turk from Europe
and the removal of his voice of au-
thority from the councils of christian
nations one of it's great aims will fail
of accomplishment. The crime Of the
German government in officially au-
thorizing the Turks to massacre the
christian Armenians and UNFOLDING
him in such action is not the least
crime in the category of German
Imperialism. There can be no per-
sonal or governmental friendship be,
tween the Turkish outlaw and the
American freeman.
There are a number Of scintillatine
passages in the message that shoulc
be committed to memory by the cifz
ems of this land for example:
'"The intolerable wrongs done an
planned by the sinister managers o.
Germany have long since become to-
grossly obvious to be rehearsed."
Speaking of malcontents:

A PECULIAR NATIONAL PRE-
DICAMENT.

We are now at war with Austria,
official declaration of a state of war
between the two countries has been
passed by congress with but one dis
senting vote and has been signed by
the President. There was no other
action that could be taken, but it
creates condition that is unique, and
unparalleled in the history of this
country and creates a situation of ex-
IRENE delicacy.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS CHEER.

The people of the United States are
approaching the Christmas holidays
under conditions this country never
has seen before; and, moreover, 1t l.
probable that this year we shall not
experience our most sorrowful Christ
mas while this world war RACES.
With the thought of the nation
dwelling largely on the infinite
fering abroad, on the certainty that
our own flesh and blood will soon be
enduring it's full share of that suffer-
ing, and on the absence from home
of hundreds of thousands of dear
ones, Christmas, 1917, will be war

Into this somber outlook the RED
Cross is seeking to bring something OF
cheer, In a campaign lasting from
December 16 till Christmas Eve it vii
ask for 100000 new members. l.
will urge these 100000 to become
"Red Cross Christmas" recruits, thai
they may enable the Red Cross to
tighten the burden our Army and
Navy and those of our allies are called
upon to bear.
This cooperation with the Red Gross
is real service of which we may all b,
proud. And that this service, when
rendered by one, may be known to h
neighbor, the Red Cross will urge eacl
old and each new member to display
at his home a Red Cross service fas
on which each red cross stands for {
member.

flags already being shown by oil
members will swell into millions be

them to become naturalized citizens |
of the United States during the war.
It is estimated that there are over
a million nominal Austrian citizens in
this country. Austria is composite
nation made up of Bohemians, Morav-
ians, Slovaks, Ruthenians, Poles,
Serbs, Crotians, Stevens, Rouman-
ians, and what are termed the Ger
manic Austrians. All of these, with
the exceptions of the Germanic Aus
TRANS, or at least a very large per-
centage Of them are intensely anti
Austria and anti German. Most of
them came to this country to escape
Austrian tyranny. Thousands, tens
of thousands have enlisted in the
army and navy. There is now an
entire division of Austrian Poles
fighting in the French army on the
western front. At the present time
the Poles, Behemians and Serbs i
this country are organized or are or
ganizing to fight for Uncle Sam. TIC
all intents and purposes they are loya
Americans although they have not be-
come full citizens.
We are strongly of the opinion tina
any man who wants to fight for thu
United States in this war should b,
permitted to do SO, and if existing
legislation prevents such action i
should be amended to allow, sucl
action to be taken.
We think our naturalization law
should be promptly amended so as t.
permit any Austrian. or Turkish sub
ject now, resident Of this country t
! become citizens and enlist in the ser
vice if they so desire. The oath o
. naturalization might be amended an

Senator look Oath on Koran.

A recent incident in the new Philip
pine legislature recalls that when the
United States acquired the islands we
took into our family brothers-in-law
whose religious beliefs always have
clashed with Christianity. Senator
Hadji Butu, who represents Mindanao
and Sulu, took his oath of office on the
Koran instead of the Bible.
All the other senators took their
oaths collectively by raising their right
hands. Then Senator Butu stepped In
front of the president of the senate
and, placing his right hand over the
Koran, read his official oath in the Sulu
dialect, the president repeating it in
Spanish. When the ceremony was
over the president shook hands with
the senator, while the other senator's

Hard water Good for RheumatIcs.

That hard water-meaning a water
that contains two hundred parts in the
million or more of lime-is better than
soft or distilled water for drinking
purposes is asserted in the New York
Medical Journal by DR.. Frank Leslie
Rector of New York. It never con
tains enough lime to do harm, but the
little 1t does contain is highly bene-
fetal to persons with a tendency to
rheumatism, govt or hardening of the
arteries.
To get such a dose of lime as a doc
tor would prescribe one would have TO
drink six gallons of hard water in "a
hours. A common glassful of such
water contains about three-fourths of
a grain of lime.
1t is an error to suppose, as many
do, that hard water causes rheuma-
ttism, govt, kidney diseases and
arteriosclerosis, for these are the very
troubles that are cured by the waters
of such places as Kissingen. Nauheim
and Saratoga, the benefit of which is
In their alkaline content, and this is

TURN FROM SAVAGE TO SAINT
Wonderful Transformation of FIJI
islanders, Which Are Soon to Be
Visited by Roosevelt.

When Colonel Roosevelt pays his an
nounced visit to the Fiji islands in
February he will find the natives much
different from what they were only a
comparatively short time ago. Today
the Fiji Islanders are model citizens;
once they were the most abhorrent
creatures known to civilization.
In his work, "How Christ Conquered
Fill" Rev. u. L. Leonard tells us
something of the Fijians Of a genera
ton or two ago. He says:
physically and intellectually they
rank among the foremost in the South
seas, but before Christianity wrought
its astounding miracles of transfOrma-
ton they had no equals for brutality,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and utter disregard for
human life. The world over their name
was a synonym for all that is afro
cious, inhuman and demoniacal. 1t
was a part of their religion to be as
cruel as possible toward their enemies
and to slay them with nameless and
horrible torture was a positive de-
light.
"They had a habit of ~massacring
all shipwrecked sailors or other
strange visitors to their shores. Few
Fijians died a natural death OF lived
to old age, for the feeble and the aged
we're esteemed worse than useless men,
bers Of society and by artificial means
were fastened to their graves. In
fanticide was so common that two
thirds Of the children persisted at the
hands of their parents.
"When a chief built a house and
holes were dug for the posts a man
was flung into each one TO be buried
alive. When a war ano vas launched
living men were used for human roll
ers, and their bruised and torn bodies
were afterward roasted and eaten. HUI
man flesh was eaten by preference. as
slain in battle. In one district the en-
tire population was kept to be de-
voured by their more powerful neigh
bors. A chief would send to a neigh
Dor or ally a roasted victim carefully
wrapped and escorted by a procession.
After one war the victory was cele-
brated by cooking 100 human bodies
for a feast. One chief set up a stone
to commemorate each time he had
played the cannibal. and 572 of these
tokens were counted by a missionary.
But the Fijians have since passed
under the mild yoke of Christianity
and the savage in them has yielded to
the subduing influences of the Gospel
of mercy and peace.

War Hlts EsaIIsh Dogs.

A movement has been started in Eng
land to rduce the canine population OF
the island. 1t is declared by economists
that there is a large surplus Of dogs
and that keeping them is a luxury
which the country should dispense with
n a period of war time sacrifices.
1t is pointed out by the foes OF T1ge
and Sport that England has more dogs
per capita than any other country In
Europe, with less need of them than
any other.
