Our Courage And Resources.

The courage and resources Of the Nation
are so abundants that Americas success
in the war is beyond question il they are
properly organized and intelligently

Cur Credit And Our Army

We must realize that the Government 8
credit is vital to the success of the war;
that it underlies every activity. 1t is a
sacred duty of every citizen, and it should
be regarded as glorious privilege by
every patriot. to uphold the Governments
credit with the same kind Of self-sacrfiee
and nobility of soul that our gallant sons
exhibit when they die for us on the battle
fields Of Europe. 1t is as imperative to
sustain the Governments credit as it is
to sustain our armies, because our armies
can not be sustained unless the Govern
ment's credit is always above reproachYa

Have Done a Splendid Thing

The churches of St. Adams have
done splendid thing and have set
a noteworthy example to the rest of
the state in atheir decision to hold
their union services in the Bellevue,
which, for the information of those
outside, may be described as an up
to-date moving picture house.
In taking this step they have as
sumed a position of leadership and
have pointed the way to other COM
munities. They will, in joint action,
make their contribution to the solu-
ton Of the fuel problem, and if the
churches can interrupt their tradi-
tional routine, other and lesser i'm
portant enterprises will have little
to complain of if they have to make
some REIMBURSEMENT to the new stu
on.-St. Adams Messenger.

Discontinue Delivery System

The Monitor commends the discon-
tinuance Of the delivery system by
the merchants of Orleans. This ex-
pense, which is admitted by the mer-
chants, there to cost from $1,000 to
$1,000 per year, is an unnecessary ex-
pense and if this amount is saved by
the people on the purchase price of
groceries it means a SUBSTANTIAL saw
ing to many families. The system of

Christmas comes to the American
homes this year with a fuller mean
ing of the day on which we celebrate
the coming to earth of the Man of
Galilee. The Christ child grew to
mans estate as our boys have; he
took on our life; he sacrificed his
life for humanity. Many an Ameri-
can boy is passing through the
Gethsemene of today drinking the
bitter cup handed out by a brutal
wickedness more fiendish than in
Christ's time. We are not compar-
ing the sacrifices of today with
Christ's sacrifice, but there is a GER
tain parallel from the human side as
we see our boys go forth to battle
for humanity. So at this Yuletide
celebration there comes to many an
American home the full sense of the
supreme sacrifice the sons are max
ing, 1t is we'll to remember at this
season that the greatest work of
mankind is in making others happy.
So, while we may not be able to
give of material things, we can give
abundantly of that good cheer that
does not impoverish but sheds sun
shine in the paths of those weary of
the burdens of life. This is but
mite to what the boys are doing
''over there" but if there was ever
a time for sunshine-malling it is
called for today. So with a frmer
purpose to do our bit for home and
country and humanity, let's make
the Christmas bells ring out their
happy greetings.

The house of representatives voted
for nationwide prohibition Monday,
the lineup being 282 to 1913, there
being eight votes more than the
necessary tWo-thirds. The Senate
adopted the nationwide resolution
last year and an early ratification of
the House vote is expected by the
Senate. Congressman Dale voted
in favor of the resolution and Con-
gresham Greene, against it. The
opposition brought up the old state
Rights argument on this question,
but that was settled more than a
half century ago. 1t is true this is
not war measure, but it has been
conceded that prohibition makes bet
ter soldiers and the nations at war
have prohibited the sale of intoxi-
cants with The result that the men
are better fit to win the war. Now
then, if in times of war men are
made better by prohibition much
more good should result in times of
peace. Prohibition to be effective
must be nationwide and in the
adoption of the "dry" amendment
by Congress temperance has won
great victory.
