From a Great Diary.

Evelyn, the great diarist and cour-
tier, is blind to many things which
his readers would gladly have had him
notice and record.
He tells us nothing of the condition
of the mass of the people, rarely
speaks of poor persons or servants,
rarely mentions the clothes he wore or
the food he ate, never, at any rate,
with that pleasure of memory I'M
ashamed which gives such details the
smack of life in Pepys or Boswell.
He never gossips; tells US little of
his neighbOrs' vices, and nothing of
their fOllies; would assuredly not have
recorded, if there had been any such
matters to record, his wife's jealousy
of his attentions to her mind; gives
no such touches of rude veracity as
that of Pepys' sister, for whom a hus-
band must be found at once as "she
grows old and ugly" or that of poor
Mr.. Pechell, 'whoSe red nose makes
me ashamed to be seen with. him,
though otherwise a good-natured man."

No, that wasn't a nice dream >

tinued Mr.. Moon, that l was being

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2l, 1917.
THINK 1T OVER.

1t is a rare 81 hours IN any daily
newspaper office when the request i,
not made that some matter of legiti-
mate news bc kept out Of the paper.
Shady rumors. little scandals and
troubles that are talked about but not
very definitely known get but scant at
tention from the reporter. When a
ease gets into court. however, it is a
public matter, and it is the province of
the newspaper to make statement of
the fact, with the charges of crime
or misdcmeanor alleged in the official
papers. Guy [. Hardy, publisher of
the Canon City, Colo, Daily Record, re-
Gently took up for discussion the ques-
tiou of the duty which a newspaper
owes the public. He touched upon one
phase of the subject to which people
outside Of a publication office seldom
give any thought, saving: However
much the editor Of such a newspaper
might like to shield a friend at times

news or hide facts made known through
the courts.

The town of Brattleboro has pur
chased efficiency in road commissioner
by engaging keene, \. H., man who
has been engaged in road building for
II years. If Brattleboro is not ridden
with politics and if the town furnishes
money enough, the roads of that town
ought to show vast Improvement dur
ing the next few years. There may be
some disappointment that the select
men went outside of the town to hire
a road commissioner, but marked eff
cheney is the first consideration.

ADVERTISE IN THE REFoRMER.
Mohave County miner., 1917-12-08
US. WILL NUT SHEATHE SWORD
 UNTIL GERMANY Is DEFEATED

President Wilson, in his message to congress last Tuesday, gave a clear and distinct characterization of Amer ica's interest and participation in the world war and drove home the state ment that not until Germany has been defeated and the plain people of Ger many are ready for a durable peace will the United States sheathe the sword. Many consider this address by the president the greatest war docu- ment and the greatest speech yet made.
 The Miner considers the message of enough importance to publish it in full. It is as follows:
 The president spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress-
 Flight months have elapsed since last had the honor of addressing you. They have been months crowded with events of immense and grave signifi' canoe for us.
 q shall not undertake to detail or even to summarize those events. The practical particulars of the part we have played in them will be laid be- fore you in the reports of the execu- tive departments.
 q shall discuss only our present out look upon these vast affairs, our pres ent duties and the immediate means of accomplishing the objects we shall hold always in view.
 q shall not go back to debate the causes of the war. The intolerable wrongs done and planned against us by the sinister masters of Germany have long since become too grossly obvious and odious to every true American to need to be rehearsed. But l shall ask you to consider again, and with a very grave scrutiny, our ob- jectives and the measures by which we mean to attain them; for the pur- pose of discussion here in this place is action, and our action must move straight towards definite ends.
 "Our object is, of course, to win the
Mohave County miner., 1917-12-08

turn us aside from 15 until it is ac- complished. Every power and re- source we posssess, whether of men, of money or of materials, is being de- voted and will continue to be devoted to that purpose until it is achieved Those who desire to bring peace about before that purpose is achieved l counsel to carry their advice else where. We will not entertain it.
 'We shall regard the war as won only when the German people say to us, through properly accredited rep resentatives, that they are ready to agree to a settlement based upon jus tice and the reparation of the wrongs their rulers have done. They have done a wrong to Belgium which must be repaired. They have established a power over other lands and peoples than their own-over the great em- pre of Austria-Hungary, over hither- t0 free Balkan states, over Turkey and within Asia-which must be re- linguished.
 "Germany's success by skill, by in dustry, by knowledge, by enterprise, we did not grudge or oppose, but ad- mired rather. She had built up flor herself real empire of trade and influence, secured by the peace of the world. We were content to abide the rivalries of manufacture, science and commerce that were involved for us in her success and stand or fall as we had or did not have the brains and the initiative to surpass her.
 But at the moment when she had conspicuously won her triumphs of peace she threw them away to estab- fish in their stead what the world will no longer permit to be established, mil itary and political domination by arms, by which to ouEt where she could not excel the rivals she most feared and hated.
 "The peace we make must remedy that wrong. It must deliver the once fair lands and happy peoples of Bel glum and northern France from the Prussian conquest and the Prussian menace, but it must also deliver the people of the Balkans and the peo- pie of Turkey, alike'in Europe and in Asia, from the impudent and alien domination of the Prussian military and commercial autocracy.
 "We owe it, however, to ourselves to say that we do not wish in any way to impair or rearrange the Aus tro-Hungarian empire. It is no affair of ours what they do with their own life, either industrially or politically. We do not purpose or desire to dic- tate to them in any way.
 "We only desire to see that their affairs are left in their own hands Tn all matters, great or small. We shall hope to secure for the peoples of the Balkan peninsula and for the peo- pie of the Turkish empire the right and opportunity to make their own lives safe, their own fortunes secure against oppression or injustice and from the dictation of foreign courts or parties.
