TT is our notion that every time a
copperhead utters a reflection on
the government or the boys who are
in uniform supporting our govern
ment, some plain, plug citizen should
consider it his duty to resent it, if
needs be by hitting the copperhead on
the jaw. 1t is the favorite expression
Of these yawps: isn't this a free
country, and hasn't man a right TO
express his opinion?" Yes, perfectly
free for an American to talk
Americanism, but not for trail
tors to talk treason, and the laws
Of our country have defined treason
and sedition in unmistakable Ian
guage. This is free country, alright
but the citizen is not free to
violate its laws with impunity or to
select the laws that he will obey, or
set aside the ones that restrain him,
yet protects the people and their gov
srnment. Then, again, what might
rave been permissible free speech a
rear ago is not permissible now. We
ire in war and there is only one job
It hand-to beat the enemy, and the
nan who is in sympathy with that
nemy, by act or speech, is a traitor,
nd that's all there is to it.

Pat. ooh, l just put that in to make

Och the year is getting gray,
Like a man that's had his day,
Waitin', jisht, to fade away
An none to pity.
Och the way the winds do blow!

Och! how fasht the leaves do fall
Reekin' fires an smoky pail

Kelly, a famous comedian on the
stage about 20 years ago, used to
say: "When an Irishman dies it's be-
kase there's an angel short in Heav-
en-, nothin' else at all. Heaven is our
home. That's the reason so minny av
us is bowed up in quarries-we gotta
go that way anyhow. An thin they
wake us. TIL other night l was APP
pinted fur t. rifferee a German wake.
Ye may we'll laugh; fur twas foolish.
Whin Dutchman is dead, he's dead,
an that's all there is about it; but
whin an Irishman dies we gotta keep
yer eye on i'm two or three nights,
don't care what we say"
Who comes to cheer me when I'm
blue and feel the world is out of
true? Who nestles up against my
arm as if to shelter me from harm?
Who sits besides me on the floor
while read tales about the war?
Who does such comfy things as that?
Why, man alive, the family cat! He's
old and lazy, most too fat to kill
bird or catch rat, and doesn't tear
the Turkish rugs to chase imaginary
bugs, but likes to sit and sort his
feas beside me while l take my ease.
He's not much use, he's just friend.
but I'd be glad if Fate would send
me other friends as good as he to sit
and take their ease with me, TO be
content with homely things and joy
hat simple comfort brings. From
early dawn till latest dark he never
makes bright remark to tax my
brain or test my wit and bore me by
it. No, he is nothing but

HERBERT HOVER'S repeated and
even solemn exhortations to the
American people to cut down on GER
tain foods, wheat bread in particular,
have not had the hearing they deserve.
Thousands, if not millions, of people
take these appeals lightly, do not yet
see the seriousness of situation that
those familiar with facts think can
scarcely be exaggerated. Why should
Americans stint on wheat bread-just
so that some foreign peoples may have
flour? Why isn't there enough food
to go around? There is no evidence
of famine that these people can per.
ceive. They take the Hoover warn
ings with grain of salt. Reports of
the wonderful improvements made by
the Germans in the U-boat have been
current during the last few days.
Food must be saved, particularly
wheat and -four, because food is be-
ing destroyed as well as eaten. So
that there is a shortage, and nobody
knows how great the shortage is and
may be. 1t all depends upon the
warfare between the U-boat and the
various machines that fight it. At
best thousands of tons of wheat and
flour must be sunk in the sea, be-
sides that which is consumed, and
those hundreds of millions of bushels
that are not available for export. In
times like the present, when the gent
us of all the foremost nations is en-
gagged in terrific contest, it is well
not to take lightly any earnest coun-
sci that comes from the highest and
most expert quarters. On the food
supply the first authority of all is
Herbert Hoover, and everybody will
show patriotism by sincerely and
following where he points |
the way. In any case the sacrifice
made in curtailing wheat consump-
ton and similar foods is small gift |
TO the nation compared with what
hose who are devoting their lives to
It's service are giving daily and hourly
A t some time in his life there comes
to a man a longing for home-a
piece of Gods earth that he can call |

Who, WATCHING the baby go trudging
off, can tell why the tear drops
start?
Can tell why the smile on the moth
er's lips is trembly and full of
pain,
As the little figure that turned to
wave grows smaller along the
lane?
The baby going away to school. She
looks to farther day
And baby, grown to be tall and
straight, out in the world away;
And the lonely minutes she knows to-
day are presage of lonely years
And the baby form and the lane are
blurred and lost through the
shine of tears.

A t some time in his life there comes
to man a longing for home-a
piece of Gods earth that he can call
and family. 1t is this desire and it's
fulfillment that make America the
greatest country in the world. A man
in this day and time who is not striv-
ing to own home doesn't have that
love of country and freedom that
makes the American people the envy
of all nations.

Constitutional Convention.

A majority of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention favor the writing of constitution al prohibition into the new con- stitution, according to George Thornburgh, Secretary of the Anti Saloon League, who has quired the delegates on this question. This is one of the many important sections that will be considered by the dele gates. The movement to post pone final action on the submis- sion of the new constitution has been given added interest by the declaration of Governor Brough that he favors the con- vention appointing committees and taking recess. He favors the vote on the new constitution at the general election. in order to save the expense of a special election. Should the convention decide to write and submit a new constitution before then it mill be necessary that it be written before the primaries next May, and a great many candidates for state offices, it is thought, would prefer to defer discussion of the new constitu- tion until after the election, owing to the fact that the minds of the people will be occupied with the selection of state off, cials, and then again, the cleo tion on the new constitution will come at a time when the farm CTS are very busy, and would not have the time to vote nor to

Hon. I. I. Malone For
 Sheriff.

In the proper columns of this issue of the ARGUS appears the announcement of Hon. T. T. Malone as a candidate for Sher- if of Monroe county, subject to the action of the Democratic party.
 For the past three years MT. Malone has served the people of Monroe county in one of the most important positions in the county, that of County Clerk. He was reelected to the office at the end of his first term, without any opposition, which in itself, bespoke that there was no one who had fault to find with his administration.
 Mir. Malone is a Monroe county boy born and bred" and is to be admired for his ambition to serve his people in the high office of Sheriff. He has a clever obliging personality and is in the race for Sheriff, with de- termination to win. The fact of his determination to let the peo- pie of the county know of his place in the political line up" in the early days of the cam paign is to his credit.
 The ARGUS bespeaks for Mir, Malone a fair and impartial con- sideration at the hands of the voters.
