THE SUPREME SACRIFICE

The good American citizen offers to his
country his money and life, but he pulls
backs, kicks and rears up when he is called
upon to surrender that gem Of freemOn-the
right to cuss the government. No war
measure has provoked such stir as that
engendeced by the espionage bill. We have
enjoyed the perOgative of abusing the
government so long that we have forgotten
that it is part of us and we are sorely de-
pressed Wnen we are denied the privilege OF
daily pronouncing the President an incOm-
petent rattle brain; we can not even refer to
the navy as an inotIensive pile Of junk; we
must pass up in silence the decadence of the
army. The only field left open is the criti-
ciSm of congress and we are daily expecting
the passage OF law putting its members
under close season How the average
American can stand all this without an in
ternaI explosion is beyond comprehension.
20 thus tongue-tie a nation of kickerS
is bigger job than licking Germany and we
will watch with concern the outcome of the
effort. We can only say that if the people
bend to the demands of the government that
they will have made the supreme sacrifice
of the whole war.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM

Announcement is made from Baton
! .ouge that a serum for the pre- :ention OF
'og cholera has been perfected by the Charity
Hospital scientists 1t is claimed that it is
Elective to the extent of from 90 to % PEI
cent.
The development of an effective pre-
ventative of this destructive disease of
swine would be one of the most valuable
aids to the prosperity Of this section Of the
country.
There is no business that promises such
profits as that Of raising hogs, once the
danger Of this disease is eliminated.
Experts agree that this section is no
more subject to cholera ravages than are
other sections, and that under present dis
advantages due to this disease that the hog
can be raised here with the same degree of
safety as elsewhere.
Our natural advantages for hog-raising
would soon make this section lead in meat
production if the farmers could be secured
against this disease.
The development of the new serum will
be watched with interest by the farmers,
and with the hope that the boon promised
by it will be substantiated BY practical ex-
periments.

WAR SITUATION

During the week there has been no
material change in war conditions. The
French and English continue the offensive
and claim to have made advances at several
points on the Hindenberg line
Italy has become more active and has
met with successes in extending her lines.
Russian internal relations show signs Of
change favorable to the allies. The op-
posing factions have amalgamated and Sc
lected cabinet. FraterniZing of the soldiers
with the Germans On the front has ceased
The one hundred million dollar loan made
by the government indicates re-estabish-
ment of confidence in the provisional gov
eminent.
Submarine losses for the week have
been less than usual. The American navy
is now in European waters ready to assist
the allies in controlling U-boat operations.
The address Of the German chancellor
bntained no indication Of peace proposals
'and was in fact more aggressive and opti.ns-
tic than might have been expected.
In a word both belligerantS seem well
pleased with the progress OF the slaughter.

THE NEGRO AND CON-
SCRIPTlON

The question is being asked in the
Southern States as to what will be the de-
termination of the government in regard to
the liability of the negro to CONSUMPTION for
military service. OF course in til: cities
there is small number of negroes who can
be spared for the service but IN the rural
districts where there is already dangerous
shortage of labor it would seem that the
selective policy Of the new draft law should
be applied with full force There is no doubt
about the patriotism of the negro and no
doubt but that he can be developed into a
good soldier, but it would seem that his
greatest value at this time would be to con-
time in the service as producer. The
disorganization of farm operations that
would result from his CONSUMPTION would be
disastrous and it seems that measures should
be taken to get a clear cut expression from
the authorities covering this issue in order
that there may be no time lost in fixing his
status.
The bare liability of his being drafted
nay disarrange farm operations the vigor-
Gus continuance Of which now appear so
essential to the proper preparation for war.

CORtNG THE OK

Anomalous conditions have resulted
I from the necessities Of war. In most OF the
countries affected there has been welding
of socialism, democracy and autocrasy. A
harmonious combination of the elements
constituting these factions has been neces-
Isary in order to present concrete front to
the enemy. The surrender Of the leaders of
the several clements in the United States
has been made with less friction than might
have been expected. In fact the lining up
process has been satisfaction, if not a sur
prise, to all.
There was smoothe sailing until the
government reached the point Of supplying
the revenues to finance the enormous E. =
penses Of the campaign for preparation.
There has been inaugurated in congress
"a bitter and unseemly conflict between
members of both branches OF congress and
the administration. 1t seems that we were
patriotic enough to make mutual sacrifices
and to allay differences on all issues except
on the question OF money. On this issue the
disposition, in common parlance, is to let
George 90 il" 1t is all right to vote heavy
taxes provided they are paid by the other
fellow. After all, the whole controversy
rests on the question as to whose OK is to
be gored.
The wrangle will not place this govern
ment in ar enviable light abroad and to say
the least is we'll calculated TO accentuate, if
not confirm, the common belief that we are
a nation Of money lovers.
The taxes should be borne BIZ all alike.
To equaiZe the burden should be easy, but
maybe our congressman are waiting to
again hear from home. II SO they will not
have long to wait.
