FORCING ALL TO WORK.

The West Virginia legislature has
solved q world-old problem in a simple
and direct mountaineering fashion.
IT has passed bill giving the option to
JAIN male idlerv between the ages OF six
teen and sixty of going to work within
thirty days or leaving the state. The
only alternative is forced labor under
the auspices of the state.
West Virginia IS lawmakers have codi-
fed the philosophy OF the beehive,
which is the oldest philosophy in the
world. I'm the beehive the droncs arc
eliminated 10y the workers after the
purpose Of drouc life has been served.
When the production of honey ceases
the droucs are driven ont of the hive
to perish. Their useless lives are made
forfeit TO the good of the community.
West Virginia IS bin. like the law Of
the beehive, is ncxorablc and all in
|cwsive i'm its provisions. The fact that
+ q man is rich enough, either through
inheritance or past thrift, to live and
support those dependent upon him with
oUt working does not relieve him from
the duty of CARRYING ON q productive
occupation. A man, even though he
. Doc rich, must either work. leave the
state or submit to forced labor under
|thc eye OF a policeman. The leisure
rlgs- is eliminated $50 far as males be-

Governor Bamberger of Utah struck
the right chord in his commencement
address at the University of Utah the
other day when he said: "'This war,
with all Of its horrors and all of its
heartaches, is not a visitation wholly,
in all its aspects. The need of this
country for some such calamity to
bring about an unsclfsh devotion to
duty was never so evident as now. We
have had in this country class of PEG.
pie who were almost wholly selfish, who
mistook liberty for license, and free
speech for anarchy. These people have
been law unto themselves, and have
resented any form of authority, no mat
ter how necessary, as tyranny. -

Buy a Liberty Bond.
{ Bennington Banner.1

=
The plain, cold truth of the matter is
that the Liberty bonds are not selling
as promptly as they should. 1t seems
rather strange with million good
American boys going forward to fight
the battles of the country and another
million to 90 as soon as possible that
the people of the country who have the
money are not willing to put mp the
money to pay the bills. They can t
lose anything as the bonds have all
the property of the United States back
of them and the interest rate is fair.
There wouldn t be any country if the
boys were not willing to fight for it.
If they do the work and risk their
lives the rest of the folks ought to be
willing to raise the money

Good Work of Farmers.
Randolph Herald and News !

TNdHUOITIH IItTdTW dHU NtWS.l
If the country over is attacking the
food problem anywhere near like this
section of Vermont, there is little
chance of a shortage. providing the
harvest follows the sowing. Never
within living memory has the pillow been
so active rs this spring. Not only has
much available tillage been turned over,
but considerable pasture is being
groomed for crop production. Farmers
have greatly extended their plowings
and hundreds of villagers are buckling
down to their quarter or half acre of
beans and potatoes. 1t means long DAYS
and hard work, but it is a healthy sign
of awakened private and public re-
sponsibility.

has no knowledge. We knew nothing
