WHO'LL FURNISH THE BOND?

dry" newspapers should quit worry
ing about the liquor question in Iowa
until there Is some reason to worry
and says
No use to force campaign Of that
sort as long as the other fellow Is will
ing to forget it. The vets are whipped
and they know it, and they expect to
stay whipped--for the present at
least. unless some one insists on be-
ing accommodated with a good sized
scrap.
Yes, but who will furnish bond that
the whisky fellows will keep the peace :?
They have never yet done so. To a
casual observer it would appear that
the snake has a good deal OF vitality
in his tail or he couldn't have beaten
the amendment. No, the Chronicle is
humbugged or is trying to humbug its
readers. When whisky interest is ly-
ing dead it is playing possum.' The
whisky interest is always and every
where on the alert. 1t is never more
active than when it is apparently
asleep Those who are opposed to 1t
must be everlastingly on the job until
prohibition is an established fact in
the nation and men have turned their
minds to the consideration of rational

IMPOSSIBLE PEACE TERMS.

The peace terms tentatively pro-
posed by Germany can not be accepted,
II they were to he taken as they are
offered II would be equivalent TO a
great German victory. For Germany
to save her face and find time 10 re
gain strength to pursue the objective
OF world conquest would ne Prussian
success 1t would mean a continuation
Of the conditions which have prevailed
wherein one nation watched the mill
tary preparations OF others lest the
balance OF power should offer oppor-
lunity for conquest OF territory and
imposition of lndcmnities. The United
states would by those peace terms find
itself obliged TO maintain a vast army
and a fortified coast line Of about L.
uQo miles. The kaisers peace terms
constitute a renewal of the lease Of
Pruss.an militarlsm in Germany and 4
continuation OF autocratic menace to
the world.
The objective in this war is to abot-
.Sh the danger OF the superman and
supernation dream. Any ending that
fails OF that accomplishment would oe
a bad ending. II would lose more than
ii could gain.
The entente and It's ally, America.
will refuse to give the German pro-
poSaI consideration. We shall win the
war. Il may take Us longer to Win II
IN battle. Bu; We can lose il and
render its sacrifices useless by accept
ing terms that constitute mere arm
ist.ce.
The war must go on until Germany
accepts terms. Terms are Tor the Viz.
tor 10 offer. When the time comes
America Will stand for justice in peace,
justice TO all peoples and 70 the future,
Until then the war must go on.

Well, as soon as the two little rab-
bits hoped out of the sleigh. the
Great Bear stretched out his paw and

Little Bear shook paws with Billy Bun

the Reindeer suddenly started of. 1

of the sleigh. you remember, saw what
was happening, he grabbed up the reins
and turned those RENDERS around as
quick as wink and pretty soon he
drove them back to the five pointed
pieces of ice where Billy Bunny and
Uncle Lucky and the Great Bear and
the Little Bear were sitting.
Come on" said the Yellow Dog
Tramp. Lets get home before the
Dog Star catches us!" And away went
the Reindeer down the silver Milky

LESS POLITICS.,
TAnamosa Eureka

Cut out politics is the demand OF pa
triotic citizens who think more OF the
welfare Of the country than OF the poh-
ticians. At this demand democratic
managers smile, nod. rub their hands
and echo "cut out politics. The demo-
cratic method OF cutting out politics
however, seems to be to- disband the
republican party, call democratic war
and carry off all the plums in a demo-
cratic basket. Politics must be laio
aside. but they are not going 10 De

party to have unbridled license In

ONE DANGER IN GIVING.

There is danger in liberality, n
chance in giving. So many worthy ap-
peals are being made and have been
mada Of late months for money that
we have fallen into the custom of Civ
ing IRE Iy. II is beautiful thing that
II is so But there is a danger in in
discriminate liherality. The man who
gives should endeavor to know where
his money is going, what it is intend
ed 10 do and as far as possible how
it is 10 be applied and by whom.
Ne are in no danger of mistakins the
vital duties and the great charities.
We know to what purposes We should
give. We should also know 10 whom
we give and make sure as humanity
possible that what We give will be
handled without unnecessary loss and
that as much of ii as possible Will
reach the detectives We strive to as
Sist and support.
\ horde of solicitors have over run
cradle objects all OF them fundament-
ally charitable and proper. orphans
homes here and there convict assist
ance. one and another proposal that
has its appeal and its propriety. And
strange to say. many OF these have met
large liberality with little inquiry or
none at all. Smooth outside solicitors
get money that should not be given
where solicitors for worthy objects I'M
der our very noses fail.
Home hospitals. home charities, home
Institutions should be first Worthy in
situations within the state of Iowa de-
serve our first attention. BY the time
we have put all worthy Iowa charities
in comfortable working order we shah
have established our liberality. Then
we may turn 10 outside charities. And
this holds good except for the great
var charities and soldier help which
take the van OF all charities.
II is not liberality to give indiscrim-
lnately TO all who seek without careful
inquiry. If an organization is worthy
to handle your money il can establish
the fact. There need De no mistake.
Insist on the proper amount of know
ledge and Information regarding the
and the solicitor that asks
YOUR assistance. That's mere common
sense and charity without common
sense isn't charity al all.
Al present great demand is being
made on the resources Of the country.

AN OLD INlDLA,N WAR
TC,arroll Herald

A leading farmer from Grant town
ship dropped into the Herald office last
Saturday and became reminiscent. He
says that away back in the early seven
ties, when he first came TO the county,
about 46 years ago. he used to be
around the vicinity of Swan lake a good
deal. AT that time he considered it no
uncommon sight to see human bones
along the ground, and farmers would
turn them UP when plowing in the vi
cinity. Bones. pipes. Indian arrows
and other relics Of the primitive race
were in evidence. Why. said, he. there
was pitch battle between the Potta-
wattamies and the Sioux. with 500 OF
the former against 400 Of the, latter.
The story goes that the battle RACED
till only one man survived and he was
a Sioux chief.
William Gilley, one Of the oldest set
tiers Of the county, used to refer TO It
once in a while. but never entered into
details II he knew anything Of the de-
tails Of the reported battle he never told
the Herald about them. We got the
thought from William Gilley's con-
versation about the battle that it was
apochrypral. But the bones. arrow
heads, spears and other things report
ed were actualities years ago.
Once in a while some one refers to
battle on the top OF Mount Moses,
and we have heard old settlers In years
gone by tell how the bloody braves
fought till the last man was LETT bleed
ing and dying. but really such things
have never been fully authenticated.
We used to think that when William
Gilley refused to OK a story OF pioneer
life 1t was not true. And he always
smiled incredulously when the battle OF
Mount Moses was mentioned in his
hearing.

you know best" and then the Reindeer
said good by and went away to the
cold north country where Santa Claus
lives and the Christmas trees grow
And then the Yellow Dog Tramp said
he was going back to New Halnpshirei
to see his dear old mother. Take this
ten carrot gold piece to her. said dear
kind generous Uncle Lucky, and that
Tramp Dog almost cried with Joy and
away he went back to the old hoIne-
stead in the Green Mountains.
Well, by this time 1t was pretty late
and Mr.. Happy Sum had disappeared
over the Western Hills, so the two little
habits went into the house and Uncle
Lucky hung up his great fur overcoak
and put on his slippers and sat down
before the fire to warm his paws end
while he sat there little cricket came
out of a crack in the floor and besAn
to sing:
I'm the cricket on the hearth.
