RELIGIOUS sCRCPLEs NO
 BAR, RULING AT SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Aug. 27.-By unaEi- nous vote the exemption board of di- vision No. 8, of Seattle, last night certified into the military service of the United States, subject to action by the appeal hoard, Gerald Thomas Canton, a teacher of political econO- my in the Seattle high school, who had asked exemption on the ground that he had conscientious scruples against joining the army. Canton also tried to escape the draft. it is said, on the ground that he had weak eyes. The examining physician, however held that his cyesight was not bad enough to bar him from the army. Canton then charged. it is said, that the board was trying to railroad him into the army.
 Later last night John J. Sullivan, l chairman of the exemption board wrote to the chairman of the school board asking that an investigation be made of statements alleged to have l been made by Canton, in which he is said to have declared he would not l fight and other statements said to be derogatory to the government.

WHAT GERMAN
 CHILDREN THINK

Among the many investigations of the influence of the war on the chil- dren of Germany is one of special interest reported by Max Doring, Leipzig, in Archiv fur Dedagogie, of which he is one of the editors, says writer in the New York Evening Post. The report refers to the an swers of no boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 12, in a certain school.
 The teachers asked :he children to write theme expressing their Thoughts, Wishes and Hopes" In order that the children should not be influenced, care was taken that no reference should be made to the war. They were given perfect liberty in choosing their answers to the three questions. This was done in order to avoid questions from the children as to what they should write and how. A strict and careful supervision made it impossible for the children to copy and converse with one another while they wrote.
 Of the 110 children only three did not refer to the war. All the others expressed their thoughts about the war. Of these, 92 children expressed their desire for peace, 85 children were worried about members of their families on the battlefields, 3S thot about the high cost of living, especial ly about the scarcity of potatoes, but ter and fat. Hopes of victory were ex- pressed by only 28, happiness over the victories of the German army by only nine.
 In spite of all the literature of hat red imported into the public schools only seven children expressed any kind of hatred towards the enemy The name of that man who is spoken of most in the schools, the kaiser was mentioned only once. In spite oi the humbug about "his majesty" this shows how much the children think about it!
 This little inquiry reveals plainly how tired they all are in Germany oi this war, and that these thoughts are so often expressed that they preoc- cupy every mind. And when we re- member that these little children ex- pressed these thoughts over a year ago-for the report is published in Archiv fur Pedagogie of March, 1916 we can imagine how everyone feels today.

COUNTRY NEEDS MEN NOW!

Probably the greatest danger our
country faces is the very freedom which
our fathers fought so hard to establish and
of. which we are so proud that we are
averse to enlisting until war has actually
broken out.
With the navy short $4,000 men, nearly
third of its war force, and enough to man
twenty-five dreadnaughts of the Pennsyl-
yaria class; with the army below strength,
with militia organizations needing volun-
teers, it is not now the time for patriotic
men, men of spirit to say they will offer
their services when there is war. The
country needs them today-not some time
in the future.
Not only is enlistment duty all young
men owe to the civilization that guaran-
tees their security, but it is duty whose
discharge repays them thousandfold in
improved physique, education and ability
to meet the battle of life They will be
better men, a fact which parents should
remember, and use their influence more to
the end that their sons seek the develop
ment of military training. Anybody who
has compared a self-conhdent, snappy,
robust specimen of manhood six months
after his enlistment, with the bent-over,
aneamic, sloppy individual in civil life will
understand the force of his word develop
ment."
Of modern CIVILIZATION, it is a misfortune
that people lead too sheltered lives This
is especially unfortunate in the case of
boys, and a lack of aggressiveness due to
too much "mothering," is responsible for
many failures in life Some boys lose this
weakness when they are sent to college.
Others need more domestic treatment.
Many, moreover, don't go to college-they
grow to manhood accustomed to have some
one think for them-to take the RESPONSE
bility; their contact with life practically
restricted to the family circle.
To such the lesson learned from travel
from being thrown on their own resources,
and learning from men how to acquit them
selves as men-to such service in army OF
navy or militia is a great privilege.

There are quite a few Americans
who might study patriotism from our
Greeks.
Spring is here and soon we will be
studying the latest designs in bathing
suits.
At the present rate, Germans will
soon be known as the most success
full retreaters in history.
American flags have gone up and
patriotism, too, has risen several de-
grees.
Lent, Imogen, is that time of the
year when people don't want their
parties put in the paper.
| War isn't the only thing that is
| tough, as congress will say when the
bone-dry law gets to working IN
Washington.
Inasmuch as u great artillery camp
| is to be established near here, it would
seem appropriate that Pensacola's mi
litia be an artillery organization.
Teddy wants to lead big army in
France, but no confidence is violated
when we say he would much rather
lead the voting at the polls.
Kaiser Bill may have made the
German name feared in China dur
ing the Boxer troubles, but China
has seized German informed ships, Sc
both sides are happy.
Sign the loyalty pledge. Every
body who does not declare himself fol-
US is against US, and everybody whC
is against US is traitor to the coun
try. Sign today.
There are no U-boats on our coas

sioners in July, and there can be no more
delays. 1t is running a risk to wait until
after the May election to circulate the new
petitions Even a slight delay might
throw the question over another year.
Better, by far, is it to proceed upon the
assumption that the MISUNDERSTANDING
election of May is sure to carry and have
the petitions ready to submit the next day.
Begin Immediately; we have only month,
and experience has shown that month is
barely enough, even if there are no delays.

be won this year; we will have chaos next
year otherwise

FREEDOM IN RUSSIA.

Political equality granted the Jews
shows how absolute has been Russia's
regeneration. The right to own prop
erty, reside where they will, serve in army
and navy, enjoy equal educational advan-
tages, and vote at the polls-why, it's
what we have in the United States and so
in the space of few weeks Russia has
passed from the dark ages into sunlit
democracy.
Not even are there to be undue restric-
tions on the issue of passports to Russian
or American Jews who desire to visit
Russia, and thus is removed a century-old
cause of diplomatic friction between
Russia and the United States. Gone, too,
is the bitterness of persecution; thus does
war show itself ultimately merciful.

PROBLEM OF THE SCHOOLS.

1t is generally conceded that the school
tax district will carry, but the election will
be SO late, about May 3, that the chances
for reaping the full benefit of public senti-
ment for school betterment are consider
ably diminished
three-m7ll assessment is the limit that
could be imposed by the election to be held
May 5, and three mills would mean onlv
S5U,UUO year-a mere pittance alongside
the actual needs which, in addition to the
SlOO,OOO high school, include general re-
mobilization of primary school facilities.
for according to law, the special tax must
be apportioned to all, according to their
several requirements.
FOR this reason a second election. bond
ing the school district established bv the
first, in the sum of 100000 to be taken I'M
by mill or mill and half assessment,
has been urged. Not only will this en-
able the reconstruction of our entire school
system, and the need is BECOMING more
acute every day, but it will make the tax
burden easier and distribute if eouitab1v
over the entire period for which the school
development is designed.
To call this second election. nositions
signed by twenty-five per cent Of the ouaY-
flied tax payers must be presented exactly
as in the case of the present election. the
only difference is that it can be called in
thirty instead of sixty days.
But the school question must be settled
before the meeting of the county commits.

CROPS AND LOYALTY.

Secretary of Agriculture Houstons ap-
peal to the farmers to increase their plant
ings, that the agricultural preparedness of
the United States may be equal to any in
ternational eventuahty, illustrates Our dis
cussion of patriotism with reference to the
loyalty pledge, found on another page of
this paper, which all men and women, who
are Americans and who believe in this
country, are asked to sign, as proof of
their desire to help the land of freedom &C
cording to their several capacities.
Napoleon's aphorism about an army and
its stomach has been worn too threadbare
for display in polite society, but armies of
today depend more on their supply trains
than they did in Bonaparte's time-not
only because they are enormously larger,
for which reason they cannot live on the
country, but also because of the devasta-
ting character of modern war No matter
how great the supply of rifles, cannon and
ammunition, if an army's commissary
breaks down, its power is gone. Soldiers
who can stand the desolation of shrapnel
interminably, succumb to hunger immedi-
ately.
Not only are farmers urged to increase
ther paintings and attain maximum pro-
duction, but they are also urged to elimin-
ate waste. For example, 100000 bushels
of sweet potatoes are annually lost by
southern farmers through faulty storage.
How much corn is lost through the weevil
is not known-7doubtless a great amount.
Thousands of pounds of beef and thous-
ands of gallons of milk are lost because of
the cattle tick in the south alone; the total
has been computed-an amount so large
that it takes unusual strength of mind to
remember it. From the secretary of agri-
culture, data showing how waste can be
prevented may be secured gratis the gov
eminent is eager to furnish 1.-THE ques-
ton is, will the farmers follow the advice
that has been developed at such expense
To West Florida farmers and stock
raisers, the appeal to increase paintings
| develop production and save waste is es-
pecially appropriate, inasmuch as having
done the least they have the greatest op-
| portunities.
Sign the Loyalty Pledge-show thai
you are good Americans artd want to be-
come better-off men.
