set down for solidarity" for strikes Of
various sorts, for patriotism strange
word in that company-for when the
leaves come OUT which is mysterious, and
for sabotage" We know what that means
It means dropping phosphorus balls in
to dry wheat fields so that babies may lack
bread. It means pinching the apples a
man is paid to pick 50 that they will rot
in the barrel. 1t means firing resinous
forests to dry the springs and turn fruit
full land into desert. It means stones
thrown into threshing machines, railroad
trains ditched, lumber yards destroyed,
food warehouses burned It means bombs
hid on ships so that cargoes may sink and
sailors die.
To the extent: that it succeeds, such
work may benefit Germany It is, at least,
such work as German spies arrange for
in Entente and neutral lands with prodi-
gal outpouring Of gold. But it does more
than make war on the government of the
United States It is war against the peo-
pie of the United States. wages war

There is nothing like talk with

GOOD FELLOWS APART.

WYE ali know what happens when
nv good fellows get together wheth-
w er ..the STEMS upon the table and
the good song going round or whether
they get together upon some Of the more
serious things of life. When they really
get together everything good and pleas
ant and happiness producing is possible.
But when these same good fellows get
apart-then the mischief starts. They
may become separated as the result OF
some Slight personal difficulty, or of some
real difference of opinion Anyway they
are apart far as the poles. One
wants something, and the other does his
utmost to Illustrate all his efforts, to see
that he doesn't attain the desired end; the
other wants something and just to get
even. the one does the frustrating. Each
is afraid the other will "get ahead each
is afraid the other will regard him as IAN
easy mark" and get the idea that ne is
sstoo weak to stand up for his own rights. 8
The result is chaos where there should be
order enmity where there should be pleas
ant relationship, even if friendship is inn
possible; and the getting apart process
starts an endless train of petty little an
noyances with all their attendant evils.
The lesson of tolerance and overlooking
is the biggest thing in the world; the
littlest thing-the cheapest tning-is the
sultifying attempt to "get even" to wipe
out old scores, to try to balance the book
for real or fancied wrongs. There is such
a thing as being too proud to fight at
any rate there is such thing as being
too proud to let yourself be put in the
fighting mood because everyone doesn't
see things as you do.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

THE constitution organic law
vests in congress the right to de-
clare war-and congress has de-
clared state of war to exist.
The constitution makes the President,
ommander-in-chief of the army and navy,
and the President is directing the war on
land and sea.
The constitution gives to congress the
right to levy taxes and to borrow money,
and Congress is doing both.
The President and congress were cleo
ted by the people and are responsible to
the people; they speak for the people
the people have no other spokesman.

THE PRINTERS DREAM.

Last evening / was talking
with a printer aged and grey,
Who told me of dream he had
just after Christmas day
While a-snoozing in his office
The vision came to view:
He saw an angel enter, dressed
In garments white and new.
Said the spirit, I'm from heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory:
Put on your golden crown.
'sMany merchants you've made richer
(From a few received full pay);
While you've grown poorer and poorer
Your business did decay.
$50 we need you up in glory,
i For you have labored hard
Until your brow is hoary-
You've earned great reward"
Then the angel and the printer
Started toward the glory gate;
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured Watt"
Here's a nook / wish to show you
It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the dubs who beat the printer
In awful torment dwell"
The printer saw before him
Old patrons by the score:
An easy chair and fan he grabbed,
And asked for nothing more.
He sat and sat and watched them,
/ Saw them sizzle, scorch and burn;
And his former debtors saw him
| Whichever way he'd turn.
Said the angel: Come up higher,
| And the pearly gates we'll see"
But the printer only answered
This is heaven enough for me-"

DRAFT ALIENS? OF COURSE!

THE adoption by the senate of reso
luton providing for the drafting Of
= aliens, with the probable adoption
of it by the house, will clarity a vexed and
dangerous situation.
It mas not been pleasant for Americans
who are citizens by birth or naturaliza-
ton, and who have been summoned by
the call which induced them to volunteer
or by that which selected them under the
draft, to see men left behind to take adj
vantage Of war wages while they evaded
military obligations by taking refuge be-
hind their alienisn.
Z Aliens who have made this their per-
manent residence should be under the
same obligation to serve and sacrifice as
others. The resolution affects all who
have been here year, and those who
claim exemption because Of treaties will
be given three months to leave. In other
words, they must do their share or quit
the country.
Aliens of nations with which we are at
war are exempted from military service
by the conscription law; SO the resolution
provides that these men may be used in
work relating to the war, though not as
soldiers, thus releasing an equivalent num-
Der of other men for the army.
In communities having large proper
ton Of aliens an injustice has been done
in the first draft, because the exemption
of these aliens made necessary an in
creased draft of citizens, so that such a
community may have had to send twice
as many Americans as community where
the percentage of aliens is small, or even
a larger proportion. This injustice will
be remedied by making the proportion of
aliens in the second draft enough greater
than that of citizens to offset the dis
parity.
This is simple justice, and its adoption
should be treated as matter of course.

COME INTO THE OPEN.

Come into the open
And show where you are!
The country needs men; and today
While the thunders of war
Fall family afar
The conflict is ours and danger is here.
We can win the great struggle
For good will among men.
We can vanquish the foe in the held,
But the enemy sulking and skulklng al
home,
We must hunt like assassins concealed
He may be neighbor, he may be q friend
He may worship with you in your church
Yet in spirit of hate,
Or secret desire
He would leave his own land in the lurch
In the calm time of peace
When harmony dwells
On our country's broad plains and It's hills,
A grudge or crouch
May not be threat,
But today it mains and it kills.
Do all of us want the old flag to wave? I
And Liberty's torch kept alignt?
Will it continue to be the land OF the free
With welcome to all whom do right!
Then our duty is clear. The danger is near.
A foe of all mems yelling Fight.
So come into the open,
Let us know where you are.
They will rue it, who strike underhand;
And a word to the lukewarm,
Half snearing band
Wake up!
Understand, Understand!
