WILL MATERIALISM INCREASEl

What will be the effect of the
great conflict upon the inner life OF
time ideals and aspirations fol-
ime ideals and aspirations fol
something above and beyond what
earth can give, survive, or will the
world be engulfed in wave of ma
terialism that shall undo and nullify
the efforts of the seers and prophets
of the ages,
Wars among Christian nations are
as fatal to the higher life of the
people affected as is apostacy to the
community. The failure of people
to live up to the highest of their
ideals, spreads in other peoples a
contempt for those ideals. Will this
be the outcome of the present con-
Aict.
We for one do not believe it will.
We do not believe it, for the reason
that the world-or at least the
greater part of it's today fighting
materialism in its most dangerous
form. We insist that in those re-
sponsible for this war, the higher
life is negative quantity, or at
best so dwarfed and warped by
false views Of life as to be entirely
overshadowed by the baser nature.
The world has pretty well arrived
at definite knowledge Of the fact
.ha. William OF Germany is the
source and inspiration of the con-
flict. True he was aided and abet-
ted by kindred spirits, but those
spirits were powerless without his
word.
What, then, is the nature OF
Kaiser Williami First, he is a
monarch who throughout his whole
reign has insisted that he rules by
divine right. So ruling, he, in his
opinion, can do no wrong. His
rights are to him bounded and cir
cumscribed only by his own desires.
That those desires relate to his own
glory and that of his close follow
ing, there can be no doubt. The
masses of the German people have
been dazzled by the glittering dis
play Of miitarism and the bright
promises held ont to them In the
event Of victory, but the radiance OF
those visions is fading, and soon

the rashest kind. They have no
dreams of world empire-simply
consuming desire to live their own
lives according to their highest
lights.
We believe that when the smoke
of the conflict shall have passed,
thrown on the general market, and
the world, shocked and Mortified at
the results of materialism, will de-
cree that never again shall it pre-
vail, and that mankind shall be free
to pursue its way onward and up
ward to the great destiny awaiting
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-11-20
THE Usts or ADVERSELY

Nothing is truer than that con-
tinued and sustained prosperity will
encrvate and undermine the physi-
cal, mental and moral stamina of
any people. The human animal is
all too prone to oyer-indulge in the
good things of life. Put a man on
his mettle to wrest existence from a
reluctant world, and in the effort
every fibre of his being is necessar-
lily developed to the uttermost, and
he energies an inyincible specimen
of the fighter.
So with nations. Given all that
heart can wish, and left to revel un-
hindered in the indulgence of that
plenty, the national fibre must inevi-
tably deteriorate.
Any crisis that Jars men out of
their ease cannot fail to work
good to that people. With no dis
position to minimize the evils of the
present conflict, yet we are bound
to realize that the world is waking
up to a view of life that it had we'll
nigh lost. Life is struggle, ana
when struggling ceases decay sets
in.
When the smoke of the present
conflict has cleared away and the
world takes stock Of results, we will
be found to have learned many val
liable lessons. One great loss is in
evitable-that of heroic. lives that
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-11-20

must of necessity be sacrificed. This
is deplorable. Yet these lives will
have been given in the most glorious
of causes-the renewing and vital
izing of the nations.
From the dawn Of history to the
present day, sybarites and sensual
lists have professed to deride and
scott at the scriptural virtues of re-
nunciation and elf-sacrifce. Yet
the decree remains as unalterable
today as when enunciated by the
Man of Gallilee, that whatsoever
loseth his life shall find it."
We Of America have not yet
touched the edge of real renuncia-
ton. We have given only of a sup
erabundance. 1t is when the giving
assumes the nature Of sacrifice that
the real good to the people will be
realized. Shall we, then, pray that
it come not to usi
We repeat, the sacrifice Of life is
deplorable, and we would it could
be averted.
There is but one greater calamity
that could befall us, that is that we
should fail to measure up to the
opportunity now knocking at our
door.

THE PEOPLE ALWAYS RIGHT

Il has been the conviction Of the
greatest statesmen of all ages and
all countries that one could safely
trust to the decision Of the majority
of the people on any question that
affected them. The public mind and
conscience is nicely attuned TO the
public welfare and seldom goes
astray. Given a free hand in the
working out of their destiny, no
people would ever come to grief. 1t
x only when self-seeking and de-
ceitful leaders beelodd issues for
their own selfish purposes that the
people are seduced.
SO much preliminary to the asser-
ton that the American people-the
great, sober, reasoning majority
are right today. Without fuss and
feathers they have decreed course
Of action that shall preserve the
national veal and the national hon
or, and they are not likely to be
lightly turned from that course.
'Vox populi, vox Del" never had
a more direct application than tc
the attitude of the American people
in the present world crisis. Being
then, the supreme power, the voice
of the people should not only have
but exercise, supreme authority
This we are failing to do. Our
government is putting forth most
herculean efforts to pilot the ship of
state through the troubled waters,
but they are hampered on every
hand by those who, from self in
terest that exceeds their loyalty,
persist in throwing every obstruc-
ton possible in the way.
This should not be, must not be.
The lives of the thousands of young
men who have responded to their
country's call must not be jeopardiz-
ed by the Judas at home. 1t is time
that the great loyal majority de-
mand that the voice of the objector
and obstructionist be silenced-if
not one way, then another.
There is something crooked about
a conscience" that persists in or
raging itself against the national
conscience. Such conscience is
the creature of many and varied in-
fuences, none Of which make for
the best interests of American life.
1t is time the reactionary were 81
fenced. The people have spoken,
and their verdict should be final
The traitor to his country should
feel that country's displeasure in no
light degree.

His BRIGHT Idea.

When the European war was in its
infancy hangers back" found them
selves continually taken to task. A
grocer's clerk, calling for the usual or
der, was s%cornfully asked why he was
not answering his %country's call.
Thinking he could see a good customer
slipping away, an excuse was desper-
ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming
customer relieved the position, and q
happy idea came his way: Madam"
he replied, perhaps If l told you I've
not all my toes on one foot you would
scarcely believe it," This aroused the
sympathy of the woman, %whereupon he
got an increased order. Upon telling
her husband Of the young mans mis-
fortune he coolly asked: well, have
you?' The feelings of the good lady
al be better imagined than described.
