and on the second day OF the following
April he asked congress in Joint ses-
sion to declare war on Germany and
give him the resources Of the nation
TO prosecute the war. Congress did
what he asked. and more.
There was little said in the Repub-
lican newspapers about He kept us
out Of war" but we wonder sometimes
what would have been the comment Of
the Democratic newspapers and the
people had Mr. Hughes been elected.
sworn In on March I and asked for a
declaration OF war about thirty days
thereafter. Wouldn't that condition OF
affairs been soup for the Democrats
What do you suppose would have been
the attitude OF the people? Wouldn't
the "I-told- you so" fellow have come
into his glory And do you suppose
the Democrats would have given Pres
ident Hughes the loyal support the Re
publicans are giving President VIII
son?
But that matters httle-it didn't
happen.
Pointed out Mistakes.
This is not the time for criticism;
but It can do no harm now 10 point
out how the Republican press Of the
country tried to make the people see
the true light of conditions during the
last campaign. Everybody who read
the newspapers during the last cam
paign knew that the Republicans
pointed out the ultimate destination
OF supplies and foodstuffs shipped
from the United States TO neutral
countries Republican newspapers
presented comparatively statistical re-
ports OF exports, pointing uumis-
takably that we were shipping food
stuffs and supplies to Germany thru
neutral countries Scarcely any other
feature Of the war was as Important
as this. for the food problem was the
most serious Germany had to face.
Democrats Deny.
But the democratic newspapers IN
tensely denied all this because the
administration was faclgg an election
and II felt under the political ncces-
sity OF making the American pcop,e
believe that the prosperity which had
sprung up since the beginning OF the
war was not due TO the war. The
fatly denied that our

perity.
Now that the denial had served its
purposes OF indorsing the administra-
ion. the administration admits every

there is some talk about passing a
Joint resolution prohibiting congress

However. this is not taken seriously

penalty in the law against any inter
ference from anybody or from any
source against both registration and

quests perhaps have good grounds for
exemption. or at least they believe they

AMERICAS BATTLE SONG.

What will be Americas battle song:
Our Tipperary, the Hot Time in the Old
Town? Certainly not our national hymn-
nor vet Dixie-fOr obvious reasons. All
over the country the composers are trying
10 supply the want-a very real want,
Mawkisly sentimental, unintereSting,
immature attempts at glorifying patriots
ism. for the most part-and this to the sol
dier on the way to battle is Goals to New
castle. 1t is merely an appeal to his pro-
fessional side-it is talking shop, or rather
singing shop, a thing that is considerably
worse.
Interest goes by contrast-and the song
thev sing for comfort must not have any
thing about fighting in it-but about a'
girl or a little gray mother or vine-clung
house, and it mustn't have a single sad note
in tit must be as joyous as mocking-
birds trill, and as natural!
The trouble with our composers is that
they are taking their task too seriously
They are impressed more with the sounds
of battle than the smiles of men. They are
thinking more of their subject than of
their subjects.
America S battle song will be written by
someone who is not labOring after such
false ideals. 1t will be the natural out
burst of-the soul, evoked unconsciously by
the stirring events of the day. Dan Emmett,
when he wrote Dixie for a minstrel's
''walk-around, furnished an example of
such spontaneous osition-interested
more in the song itself than its proposed
effect, he produced one of the great pieces
of America-li'ir the iIarseilleise, too great
for ihdiscriminate and continued use
But whenever Americas . ling song
is produced, it will make itsl recognized
immediately-it will not need any vaude-
vile bolstering to become popular.

THE EMBATTLED PRESS.

Announcement that Serge Bassett, a
correspondent attached to the British
army, has been killed by rifle fire while
watching the fighting in the Lens salient,
reminds one of the dashing war CORES
pondents of fiction who, when they were
not saving important dispatches, teaching
generals the war game, and leading fOrl0rn
hopes, were standing up in the first line
trench with note book and pencil, utterly
oblivious of the flying bullets.
Of course the war correspondent was
never any such super-idiot as this But un-
til the Russian Japanese war, the CORES
pondents played a much more conspicuous
part than now; they were frequently under
fire, and an appreciable number were killed.
R>t the Japanese reduced war cOrrespon-
dents to mere appenda9es under military
c>ntrOl, who were +, h,rdly>allOwed to catch
sight OF battle through glass, and whose
information was supplied by headquarters
and checked by the censor.
Other nations adopted the idea. with the
result that even Mexico sent a number Of
distinguished, if old-fashioned war cor
respondents to the right-abOut few years
ago.
Both our allies and enemies early in the
war put the literary lid down tight At first
they hardly allowed the adventurers of the
press in sight of the rear guard Then they
lifted the lid to the extent of personally
conducted tours in unintcresting sectors
Later they allowed still greater liberties

About "Uncle" Toe.

The following is from the Samson
(Ala.) Ledger:
"Uncle" Joe Dixon, hale and hearty
at Y, was in Samson today a short
time en- route to his home at Quincy
after a walking trip of over 400
miles Walking is Mr.. Dixon's fav-
orite recipe for keeping old age at
respectful distance, and he INDUCES
in this remedy every year. This year
he rode to Texas, and from there
worked his way on east, sometimes
walking, sometimes riding as the
humOr took him.
"When I left Quincy this spring"
said Mr.. Dixon, ''my liver was dead,
my blood was stagnant and | feared
an attack of apopleXy or paralysis,
while | was suffering from a painful
form Of catarrh, All these ailments
are now gone, with no other treat
ment than walking"
"Uncle" Joe, who is a Confederate
veteran and on the Florida pension
roll, has been nearly everywhere and
seen nearly everything in America.
A newspaperman by profession, his
wanderlust has made him a lawyer
in Texas, a miner and prospeCtor in
the Rockies from British Columbia
to the Mexican sierras, an editor, a
compositor and many other things.

cility of language. educated in the
