There is a disposition, in cer tain quarters, to censure Sena- tor William K. Kirby for voting against sustaining President Wilson in the course he took in the German submarine matter. While we should not have voted as did Senator Kirby, because we most heartily endorse the Presidents course, we would not thought of not doing so for the reason that some urge that that should have influenced Sen ator Kirby, and that is that near ly every other Senator, both Democratic and Republican vot- ed to uphold the President. If Sen. Kirby believed the Presi- dent wrong in severing diplomat ic relations with Germany, his vote was exactly as it should have been, even though he stood, sol tarv and alone. While we doubt his judgment, we never theless applaud his courage for standing up for conscience sake for what he conceived to be rioht

A few ot the newspapers of this country, and notably among
 them the Warren Democrat Ne evs. professes to see TO differ enca between the British block. ade of German ports and the at
 tempted destruction of all yes sels entering English waters by
 German submarines, and insin- uates that President Wilson is sho r.ing partialitv to England, for not attempting to remove the English blockade, while wig ,orously protesting against Ger. mans's announced policy. But there is a wide difference between the two propositions. The English blockad is an interna- tional recognized war measure, and in it's enforcement the lives of people are not taken or leop- ard;zed. Contraband of war is seizej and taken over or destroy

The wild and untamed Maya jois, of the west, have rendered
 their services to the President in case of war. They say that they can furnish 10000 warriors and take care of the western border. The Indian is good fighter and understands the business of bor- der warfare. In case of war, these American Indians will ren- der dood service to the country.

The German Alliance of America, which has been aiding and sympathizing with Germa- ny in its war, has now come out for America, and proffered its aid to President Wilson, in case of war between this country and Germany These, hitherto Ger man sympathizers, are Ameri- cans, and true to their country, and are ready to give their lives for it's defense, even against their mother country. German Americans are for America, first, last and all the time.

SIMPLIFYING ORDINATIONS

In the typical school gradua
ton of the past, finery, flowers
and summary have often been toe
conspicuous. A girl with no rec
ord for scholarship might becoml
the center of interest on her swell
clothes.
I'm many towns there has beer
a rivalry in dressing. 1t was not
always the wealthy homes that
promoted it. They might take
commencement as one social oc-
casion among many, and one cal
ling for no particular display
Meanwhile some girl from a mod
est home would be put through
with all possible spread. 1t was
that girls one chance in a life
time to make a splurge. After
one gown for graduation and one
or more for class day and Com
memo cement dance had been pro-
vided, with shoes, flowers, ETC., II
$50 bill looked sick and very
likely was wholly inadequate.
One consequence has been that
many families Of modest means
have taken girls out Of school at
the beginning Of the senior year
just to save graduation expenses.
This meant the exclusion of these
girls from the fruition Of their
course, leaving it broken and
incomplete experience.
In many places Of late there
has been an effort to simplify
graduations. In some high
schools, the girls instead of burst
ing forth in the glory of French
dressmaking, take pride in dress
of their own handiwork, costing
perhaps not over $500. If these
girls actually made their own
clothing instead Of depending on
their mothers to do it, they
learned a lesson that may be
quite as valuable as anything COW
cred by the fowery script of their
diplomas.
Our public schools are sup
posed to give equality of oppor-
tunity and they do so legally and
technically. But if social Gus
toms get started that bear harder
on some than on others the democ-
racy is mostly ON paper. School
functions are no place for free
spending or the display of money.

INSANITY IN TOWN AND
COUNTRY; EXPLODING AN
ANCIENT ISLANDER.

We heard Southern governor
man DESTROYS Of improving rura
conditions, get up the other day
and repeat the ancient but now
exploded theory that because OF
the isolation of country PEG
pie a greater proportion of the
country women than Of the town
women go insane. A short time
ago we heard the head of the
Rotary Association in the United
States make the same statement
Now of course there is great
need for improving social condi-
tions in our country districts, and
nobody is saying so more often
or more emphatically than The
Progressive Farmer. But it is
also true that even now, by reason
Of the greater wholesomeness of
country life, insanity is much less
prevalent in the country than in
the towns. 1t is in the towns that
one finds at it's fercest the furious
struggle for existence. 1t is there
that one finds childhood and wo-
crushed by long hours
of labor in crowded factory, store,
or office. and finds also a tragic
friendlessness and homelessness
breeding despair in millions Of
hearts. If there is isolation in
the country. there is serenity also.
It is there that
''The old, plain men have rosy
faces
And the young fair maidens quiet
eyes.
When the farm woman tolls it
is for father, brother, husband
and chubby little ones who love
her, and not for mercenary "bos-l
ses," worse than uncaring per-
haps of both her soul and body,
and ready to "scrap" her like
q broken-down machine as soon as
age or disease decreases her earn
ing power.
No, the country can b. made
better place, far better ;.iace
to live in, than it is now. But
don't forget that it is already a
better place to live than the city,
and census statistics prove that
is less frequent in the
country than in town.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

to destroy agencies and oh
stacles that seek to impede -oul
growth, it is essential that We
double our constructive efforts al
home.
We can create and continue to
build while we fight and we
ought to seize upon this advantage
as the greatest opportunity ere
ated by the war.
Let both public and private
useful building construction pro
coed. Production and handling
of building materials and public
and private construction work
are fundamental industries of the
country. Any tendency to sus-
pend or postpone building pro-
jects is inconsistent with main
tanning our prosperity. The
country is prosperous. Building
investors should not hesitate to
go ahead with their plans. Rail
roads should spare no effort to
supply the building industry
with the cars needed to transport
materials. Government, state,
county and municipal authorities
should encourage the continuance
of all kinds of building. Road
and street Improvements in par
ticular should go on undated.
But roads and streets are factors
of first Importance in the present
high cost Of foodstuffs. Never
before was the improvement Of
so essential.
The lumber, brick, cement. lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other
building materials industries are
basic. Neither Government reg
ulations nor railroad restrictions
should be unnecessarily imposed
to interfere with them. If any
action is taken which results in
the prostration of so fundament-
ally important industries, there |
is real danger Of surplus Of I'M
labor, surplus of rail
road cars and a Gripping of bus
mess that will seriously embarrass
the Government in financing the
war.

BACK BAD TODAY?

Backache is usually kidney
ache and makes you dull, nervous
and tired. Use Doan's Kidney
Pills for weak kidneys-the rem
edy recommended by your friends
and neighbors.
George Pefferkorn, lis Fifth
ST., Lafayette, La, says: "Three
years ago | strained my bac k
lifting a barrel of sugar. After
that my back caused me a great
deal of pain and it was always
stiff and lame. My kidneys were
weak and the kidney secretions
scalded in passage and were very
annoying. My general health
was poor. I tried different rem
edies, but got no relief. i heard
so much about Doan's Kidney
Pills and since then my back has
been strong and | don't know
what it is to have kidney trou-
ble."

TAX WEALTH OF THE RICH,
NOT KNOWLEDGE OF THE
POOR.

In PAYING the enormous cost Oh
the present war, the United
States should conscript the in
comes Of the wealthiest. Instead of
doing this Inadequate fashion,
the new revenue bill levies 10
per cent tax on all imported nee
essities Of life previously adj
mitted free, and also increases
by from 100 to 500 per cent the
postage rate on all newspapers
and publications: Such eminent
Americans as George Foster Pea
body, Amos Pinchot and others
advocated conscripting millio-
naires' incomes in excess Of one
hundred thousand dollars. Ger
tainly Congress might have
doubled its proposed surtax of II
to 33 per cent on incomes rang
ing from one hundred thousand
dollars to several million dollars
a year.
Instead of doing this, we re-
peat. Congress proposes various
increased taxes on the poor, in
GLIDING the enormous increase in
the cost of reading matter for the
masses. The low postage rate
previously allowed newspapers
has in no sense been a subsidy to
publishers, but all the benefit has
gone to the American people, en-
abling them to get all publications
cheaper. Under the new revenue
bill in sending The Progressive
Farmer to thousands and thou
sands of our readers it will cost
us forty to fifty cents a year for
postage instead Of ten to twelve
cents as last year. In such sit
nation each publisher must raise
his subscription price, and this
will necessarily prevent the prop
er spreading of newspaper read
ing among the poor.
In other words, this feature of
the new revenue bill is tax on
knowledge. - The Progressive
Farmer.
