will be an immense calling out Of the

arouse the higher nature OF the ma

cialism which has so long absorbed it.
A periodical jolt seems necessary
about once in so often to call out
the patriotism and exalt the minds
OF the people. II necessary, the valor

turb its onward march. The showing

the coyotes. which have filled the

WAR CONGRESS convEnEs

One OF the most momentous periods
In the nations history occurred today
when an extraordinary session OF the
national legislature met at the cal
of President Wilson to consider the
relations existing between the United
States and Germany.
That the hour is fraught with the
most momentous issues, no man
doubts. We seem to be standing. as
q nation, on the edge Of precipice.
Are we TO be crowded over the brink
and plunged downward into the night
of the great world-war, where score
OF nations welter in blood and ang-
uish. or may 1t be we shall be pre-
served from the fatal slipping OF our
feet and led back from the beetling
cliff where at the moment we pause
with horror In our hearts?
The air is full Of voices. These are
few who clamor for the pit, who urge
the nation to a decision the conse-
quences of which may involve it in
a course no power in earch or heaven
can reverse. There are other voices.
which plead for sanity. patience, and
full consideration of all the facts, be-
fore the final resolve is made. These
latter are not towards. Their patri-
otism and courage will be found the
saving forces OF the nation should the
dreadful doom of war fall upon US.
To us 1t seems as II the president
were determined that, II at last war
must come. 1t shall be only when
there is nothing left for US but to
draw the sword in self-defense. Into
such war the whole nation, with
but here and here an exception, we
believe, would enter under the sense
of solemn but compelling duty.
Few men have ever shrunk from wal
with more appalling dread than ouI
great Lincoln. But of the two evils
which confronted him between which
he had to choose, he chose 1t as the
lesser-chose It because in the anne
of humanity and freedom he could no
do otherwise.
President Wilson and his advisers II
the cabinet and in congress have NJ
intention that war shall be declared
by the United States. BY the hostil,
acts of German submarines they be
Heve the Imperial German govern
ment Is actually making war on thu
United States, and that 1t shall b,
recognized as such a state. To NEE
such a condition the armed forces o
the country and all the national re
sources are to be put in a state o
readiness. Then whether the nation
shall enter the war In it's full sens,
viii depend upon how much furthel
Germany carries her acts of aggres
sion.
In every sense. war, IL it actual,
comes, will be a defensive war, fire,
from ambitions for spoils or terri
tory, In which the United States, a.
the president has publicly declared
shall want nothing for itself, and shat
seek only to preserve the rights o
civilization and humanity.

Farmer Saved His Stock
But Barn Was Burned

Stayton, Dee. 6.--On Tuesday morn.
ing about 6 clock Titus Archer. who
lives about two miles south Of town,
in Linn county, was doing .chores in
his barn. He was having some troublA
with young cattle and noticed that his
lantern flickered as though from the
wind, but the cattle required his atten-
tion so he paid no further notice to
the lantern, the second time it flared
up, and the third time it exploded
throwing burning oil all over the sta
BILE. He hurriedly drove the cows from
their stanehions and then started to get
the horses out, but he was cut off
from them by the fire so going around
the barn he reached the horses and
managed to get them out. As animals
ars usually unmanageable in time of
fire it is indeed fliraeulous that he
was able to save all of his. Early in
the fall Mr. Archer and family went
back to their old home in Michigan on
a. visit. Before going Mr.. Mayo, local
insurance man prevailed on him to
take out insurance ON the contents of
his barn, and it is, indeed lucky foe
MIR. Archer that he did so, for although
he saved his stock he lost a great
quantity of grain and hay. About
month ago Mr. Archer added several
head of Holsteins to his already fine
herd, paying $500 for same. He had

What Other Cities Own

Almost 1000 cities in the United States own
their gas and electric light plants; eight large
cities operate lighting systems; three have street
railway lines; out of 204 cities OF more than 3D.
600 population, only forty-nine do not own their
own water systems; of 1875 cities with population
in excess of 10000, no less than liz own and
operate public markets.
New York and Boston operate ferries. Eigh-
teen cities maintain public golf links and twenty
one own public halls. New Orleans, in addl-
ton to owning its own water front, maintains a
public belt railway. Other activities that have
been municipalized are coal mines and coal Of
fees, ice plants, stone quaries, lunch rooms and
toll bridges.
Richmond owns an electric light plant. In
this regard it is in line with general municipal
progress, for cities have gone farther in operat-
ing light plants than in any field. In the gas
business. the private companies are far in the
lead The telephone business is entirely in the
hands of private owners.
