One of Life's Tru0edies.

The attached letter is from little
Italian girl Of fifteen to her older
brother who had gone home for
dinner finding it on the door knob,
the sister having gone to the house of
neighbor through fear, and, no
doubt, disgust. The parties are we'll
known to the editor of this news
paper. The unfortunate father, a
victim of drink, is fruit vender.
The incident shows how some of the
acute tragedies of life escape notice.
The letter follows:
"Dear brother:
We are going over to Dominick's
house. Papa is drunk. He came
home at IL o'clock from the market.
If you want to stay home, you may.
We will come tomorrow morning at
half past seven. If you want to eat
there is cabbage on the stove and
some eggs in the closet. If it looks
too bad to stay home, you come too.
Your Loving
Sister"
Love from mother and sister,"
was added as postscript. The story
is a sad commentary upon the
yagaries of life.

First Thunder Storm
The first thunder storm Of the sea-
son took place about $50 p. m. on
Tuesday. It came from a rain
soaked sky, but like the old lady who
was in railroad collision the first
time she ever rode on zone, it was
powerful suddent." Some people
thought the first thunder clap was an
fexplosion,s it was SO like the sharp
report of cannon. But it loosened
things and Jared down a flood OF
soft spring rain. Lighting was
scarce.
Just at the moment every mother
in Palisade with grown up sons is
anxious about the war-some of them
heart-sick with anguish, others
hopeful that the worst may not come,
and still others feel that. whatever is
best must be accepted. These are

SATURDAY, MAY s, 1917
HHHH Isl HHH


The friends of the volunteer sys-
tenn might have put forth the argu-
ment that it would be quite the
proper thing to volunteer for taxation
on the basis that man should think
less of his money than his life. And
for those tina. do not, it might be a
convenient and acceptable way in
which to show that they could at
least put forth some form of patriot
ism. Taxes and military service rep
resent forms of service to the ma
tion-at least forms of obligation. In
one instance you offer your money, in
the other, you offer your life. As the
average man thinks less of his money
than he does his life, he should be
willing to step up to the treasury
and fork over liberal sum to sup
port the government. He wouldn't
mind if he were asked to make his
donations larger and larger as the
years might go by, if he could stand
away from the firing line because he
was heavy tax donator. There you
have some Of the fallacies of the
volunteer system.

Boys Have
Enlisted In Service
Of Army And Navy

From reports it would appear that
Palisade has exceeded it's quota of
volunteers for service in behalf of
Uncle Sans service. James Wool
colt has enlisted in the coast defense,
and has been accepted; the two
Hacker brothers, Ralph and Glen,
have enlisted in the navy, and one of
them accepted, the other soon to be;
Herman Borgstede has enlisted in the
navy, also, and George H. Frew, jr.,
has enlisted in the ordinance corps
and will probably be accepted. Prof.
J. R. Crawford also has enlisted in
the officers reserve, and expects to
go into camp this summer. This
makes quite a little band of home
patriots, and the village is proud of
its future members Of the army and
navy. God bless and hold them true
to the colors and the nations pur-
poses.
Palisadian., 1917-05-05
Austria and Peace.

The persistent rumors of Austria
Hungary's desire for peace gives rea-
son to believe that the dual mon
archy really has enough Of war.
Only the pressure of Germany, if one
may believe many stories that have
found their way to the United States,
has kept Austria in the war this
long.
Austria's demands are, we are told,
that she be allowed to keep her pres
ent territory intact, and that she be
relieved of paying any indemnity.
The Allies are not likely to accede
to these terms, with the tide of vic
tory flowing their way. They might
be willing to allow Austrian territory
to remain intact, but Austria will
have to pay for some of the damage
the Central Powers have done.
1t is conceivable, too, that the
Allies will demand the setting free
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, or the
allying of these two Slavic provinces
with Serbia and Montenegro, for the
sake of the future peace of the
Balkans.
While Austria is asking for an un-
touched territory, she may well re-
member that it was the forcible
seizure of Bosnia and Herzegovina
that brought about the European war.
That statement may be questioned,
but it is certain that the pistol shot
at Sarajevo was fired because a
Serbian student feared his native
land would suffer a fate like that of
the two little provinces, if the Aus
trian crown prince, an arch-imperial-
list, were allowed to live.
Doubtless, Austria Hungary is sick
of the bloodshed-sick of war that
promises not single thing for that
nation. If there were to be victory
and spoils, the Germans could be
trusted to have the feast, while her
allies, Bulgaria, Austria Hungary,
and Turkey would have to be content
with the crumbs and bones.
Peace talk is comforting, but it will
not be worth being happy over until
the Entente Allies begin the conver-
sation. They will dictate peace
terms, and the Central Powers will
obey them.
With America in the war, this ma
tion will, no doubt, be the big factor
in shaping peace-a permanent peace
that may never again be broken in a
war.
Palisadian., 1917-05-05
The Home Defense League.

The manner of going about the
preparations for the Home Defense
League appears to have been given
little or no study. In Palisade, for
instance, only active firemen are
formed into companies for drilling,
whereas the fremen represent the
smallest portion of the male popula-
tion. However much others might want
to volunteer for home defense duties,
they are barred for the reason that
Mayor White chose to allow only fire.
men to be mustered into service for
this purpose. It may not be allow
able to charge that this was done pur-
posely, but it is scarcely fair to limit
the duties of home defense to the fire.
men. 1t is no less an injustice to
other citizens who would gladly per-
form the, duties demanded in the
work.
Palisadian., 1917-05-05
What Is Community Seruice !?

The ideals of community service
are never reached when one does
work with string tied to it, or for
palpably selfish reasons. The only
real, lasting good that can come of
any service is where the reigning
idea is with no hope of reward.
Men who lend their aid to public
service wo expect honors or emolu-
ments are reckoning without COM
pass. No satisfaction in life is
greater than to work for the COM
mon cause of community interests as
though the interests were ones own.
Men who serve with this ideal to
guide them have the only purpose
in view that is worth while.
1t is no uncommon thing to see a
man appealing in behalf of public
interests with hidden motives of SELF
And when they do this, they are sure
to be found out and let down a notch
or two.
The real joy of serving is like the
pleasure of giving, and serving is
giving something, perhaps the most
valuable thing within the possession
of man. Go to it all, and serve your
community right. You will have no
cause to regret the happiness that
will be yours if you serve with
heart beating secretly in tune with
right and truth. There can be no
higher motive in life.
Palisadian., 1917-05-05
An Unfounded Fear.

The fears which many Congress-
men entertain of military dig
archy" are unfounded. Frederick
the Great made Prussia and Napo-
leon Bonaparte made France mill
tarist nations without universal serv-
ice of the kind now advocated, and
Holland, Switzerland and Australia
in modern times have national Sc
curity under universal service, with
out military oligarchy or aggressive
spirit.
In the Franco Prussian war of 1870
France was the aggressor. She had
so-called army, but no universal
service. Germany then had univer-
sal service. France declared war.
On the forty-seventh day, in the bat
tie of Sedan, the French army was
surrounded and captured and the
French Emperor made prisoner.
The results of universal service
are seen in the glorous defense
France has made in this war. She
would have ceased to exist as ma
ton thirty months ago if she had
universal service, and the Kaiser
would have set up throne in Paris
as his grandfather did at Versailles
in 1870.
Another fallacious idea cherished
by members of Congress, especially
those who represent large agricul-
tural districts, is that the farmer boy
will be the first victim of the con-
scription officer. This is absurd. The
farmer boy will be the last chap of
military age called out for action.
He will be allowed to remain on the
farm as long as possible raising food
stuffs for the army. Conscription,
in fact, will be a protection rather
than a menace, to the producer of
foodstuffs.
