 And we are only just beginning to grasp the fact that our revolutionary sires, when they marched through blood to the goal of their inspiration, bequeathed to us, their descendants, not only the glorious blessing of lib- erty, but by the side of it, hand in hand with it, the duty of preserv- ing it in it's purity as received. That duty has never been lifted from our shoulders, and never will be, unless we shall so far fall short as to cease to value the fruits of the sac rifices so cheerfully made by those old heroes of long ago.
 This duty is looming larger and larger, clearer and clearer, as the days go by. We are beginning to recognize the eternal truth that if all would enjoy. all must serve You and I-should either be favored at the expense of the other? Your boy and my boy-have not both been the recipients of the same protection and fostering care, and shall my while your son bares his breast to the storm?
 There is a theory that gold, that most precious of metals, was at one time deep hidden in the center of this globe, but that the violent in- ternal convulsions to which the old ball has been subjected have thrown it to the surface. If the present so- cial convulsion shall be the means of bringing to the surface of human character the pure gold of sacrifice and an appreciation of the duty of the individual to society, great good will come of the trials we are called upon to endure.

DUTIES VERSUS PRIVILEGES

When the present conflict burst upon the world, humanity-demo cratic humanity-was asleep. It was . sleep that had lasted since Wash ington and his ragamuffin army had first made the world safe for democracy" His work has been done, and we'll done, and Americans had for more than a century been living under the deksion that there was nothig more to do in the cause Of human freedom.
 From the establishment of this re- public, orators and writers have never tired of ringing the changes on the glorious privileges of Ameri- can citizenship. They are instilled into us from the kindergarten to the college. They are the daily pabu- lum upon which our Americanism is nourished.
 The world cataclysm found us making featish of our rights" and privileges" We were extremely jealous of them, and resented any infringement of them with the fierce ness of a breeding hen. We were proud of them, and Haunted them in the face of our less fortunate neigh bors across the water.

INCONSISTENCIES

If baby finds cup of coal oil it will drink every drop of the nau- seating stuff, but it requires an hours hard work of mother, doctor and nurse to force a spoon full of sweet medicine down the baby's goozle," laments Jim Lowry of the Honey Grove Signal. "A fourteen year old boy will work four hours the hottest day in summer cleaning off baseball ground, but it requires two lickings to make him carry in a small load of stove wood. A woman will stand for hours with her feet encased in glove fitting shoes and serve punch at a reception, who can't possibly stand up twenty min utes at an ironing board in carpet slippers. A man will set on a beer keg and listen for three hours to a demagogic spiel on saving the coun. try, who can't say awake one hour in church to save every soul in christendom. The world, however, is not without beautiful examples of consistency, faithfulness and com mon sense. Consider the birds, the dogs and the horses"

It is a matter of keen reproach to the ranks of organized labor that strikes and disturbances of all kinds should be rife just at this time when the nation needs that we should be one as we never have been. Doubtless there are causes a plenty. for strife-in ordinary times and under ordinary conditions, At present, and under conditions that face this country, it would seem that, while the world is called upon for sacrifices in all the relations of life, labor might consent to bear patiently few injustices, especially if to remedy those injustices the safety of the country is to be jeopar- dized. Everything that takes from the perfect unity of this country, initiates against the great undertak- ing that we have entered upon. Now, when the country needs every ounce of it's strength, is a poor time to settle labor disputes, especially if the settlement involves contention and strife. If there is not sufficient patriotism and loyalty among the em- ployers to grant merited rights, then labor should prove itself the better patriot in bearing with injustice until our country is safe from the dangers that threaten.

"Treason" is an ugly word As aplied to Senator La Toilette it may or may not be rightly used-only the senator's own heart can answer that. But of one thing a large ma jority of his countrymen are certain, if not positively disloyal. the senator is to say the least. very imprudent Unless his personal life and actions can effectually give the lie to his accusers, he would seem to be in a most unenviable light from the country. He has systematically la bored to block the wheels of the gov ernment machinery ever since, in opposition to the will of himself and handful of his colleagues, the Con- gress declared a state of war to exist between this country and Germany No doubt he claims sincerity, but sincerity ceases to be virture when it degenerates into mere pig-headed opposition to the will of the majority We very much fear that the trouble with the senator is, he is a poor loser
