Looking Forward.

1t doesn't matter much about your
name,
And nobody cares for your gold;
It's of very small moment the blood
you claim,
Or the college degree you hold
It's trivial detail whence you came.
Or the places that you've declined
It's of little Importance about your
fame
Or the people with whom you've
dined.
And it's merely an item, the creed
you cite,
And your clothes are of small ac-
count;
It's not so momentous, the ills you
fight,
In quality or amount.
But there is one thing the world has
a right
To ask and know about you
Not what you have done with ardent
might,
But what are you going to do?

In Loving Memory of Little
Gilbert Mccarthy.

A little heart has ceased to beat,
The one we loved so Well;
A little voice has ceased to speak,
The one we loved to hear.
He's gone to join the angels,
ForevermOre to dwell,
We miss you, sweet Gilbert.
God knoweth it is best
To take and cease thy suffering,
He giveth thee sweet rest
Call my papa and mamma,
call them quickly"
Before it is too late,
The sweet brown eyes looked up
And smiled at heaven
Beyond the golden gate.
Farewell our darling Gilbert,
A little flower taken from our midst
To bloom up in heaven,
And wear starry crown.
"A loved one who will never
forget him. NJ K.

Bernard Shaw's Approval.

George Bernard Shaw says: The
entrance of the United states into
the war was inevitable for mechani-
cal reasons. Germany had forced
them to arm their shipping against
submarine attack. German under
sea boats were sinking American
ships, and American ships were pre-
pairing to sink undersea boats in self
defense. This would have produced
d situation worse than war because
if an American ship captured an un-
dersea crew or German submarine
captured an American crew which
had fired on her the prisoners in Ell
Their case would have been, not pri-
soners of war, but pirates, and would
presumably have been hanged as
such. Under such circumstances an
intelligent captain would not have
taken any prisoners, and, as inteIli-
gent captains are by definition also
humane captains, this alternative
would have been unbearable. Ger
many has, in fact, forced the United
States to accept war with her.
President Wilson, the only great
statesman the war has produced, has
thus got an inside grip morally by
keeping his head, and, having an un-
commonly good head to keep, not to
mention character which in the
great American tradition of Lincoln
and Washington, he has placed his
country in an impregnable moral and
political position. She has escaped
all entanglements in European alli-
ances, and comes into the war with
a free hand and an absolutely clean
record as far as aggression or pro-
vocation is concerned.

A Letter From Jimmie.

Jimmie Mckinney, who for several
years worked for the Marietta Journ-
al and who recently quit his job to
join the United States navy has made
a good record and has already been
assigned to active duty.
We are proud of Jimmie's record
and when the big dreadnaught "Ok-
lahoma" on which he is serving sinks
some of the Kaisers ships we will re-
member that member of the Journ-
al force is there. And no one can
deny that the Journal has given the
Germans the devil"

and | sure did feel big All kinds
of soldiers were there, many old Con-
federates as it was a Confederate
Memorial and when the band played
Dixie the old fellows sure did make
me feel fine and it sure was a glori-
Gus time. Mamma you ought to see
my Captain. The other morning
when we were taking our morning ex-
ercises when it came to signaling by
waving flags in the air he wanted a
fellow that knew them perfect to

What Worried Him.

Papa, DEAR" said the anxious
daughter, 'you must not worry be-
cause Harold is going to marry me
and take me far away from you and

parent, "But if he ever does anything
that will cause you to come back to
us again I'll certainly do him bodily
injury"

Stand by the President! America

The flag when placed on staff

Boys of the States United;
Boys of the Gray and Blue,
Come forth from every border
The Allies are calling you,
To aid has been our motto,
And to win in every fray;
Come boys! ere the cry grows fainter
They are weary over the way.

With Wilson as our leader,
With God to guide us right,
With the Stars and Stripes above US
We are bound to win the fight,
For we are all united,
Hold on Boys, firm and fastD
We are coming to your rescue,
And well all join hands at last.
Our fathers tramped to Dixie"
For the gray they fought and died
But now no feud devides US,
We are marching side by side,
And we all clasp hands with Eng

And our hats are off to France,
And all our other Allies
If we ever get a chance.
Chorus.
Hold on, boys, do not falter,
Though your feet all bruised may
be,
With our colours waving Ger US,
We will conquer on land and sea,
Though we leave our land of peace,

While our tears are falling fast,
We are coming to your rescue,
And we'll all join hands at last.

POLITICAL REFORMERS

caused by greed and oppression
Probably the political ieformer" oc
caeionally helps, but his object is
not the benefit OF the community in
which he operates. The distinction
between the political rcformer" and
the reformer is that the former see
only through the limited vision OF
self while the latter speaks DELHI
erately and learns before he attempts
TO teach. The political reformer" is
usually but an agitator This is not
time for the airing of individual
opinions, but time in whic concert
of action must prevail. People car
not in concert if each individual
insists his way is the best. for that is
not freedom Of thought or harmonious
with personal liberty. Freedom o.
thought is based upon respect foi

depends upon consideration and con
