Ing animal. The good road horse kept
q market but that market was low and
hard times came on and the standard
bred horse business" was as dead as a
lumber mill on the upper river.
But the craze brought its good effect.
It resulted in better driving horses all
over the country outside Of Kentucky,
which was already the home
Of good horses. Not that
good road horses had not been
for the Messenger stock and the Nor
gan breed and other strains rising out
OF individuals other than Abdallah and
George Wilkes had been able to ira
verse as many miles Of road in day
and come back the next as any thor
oughbred harness horse of them all.
But the game was done. Dan Patch
and Uhlan and their great
miles under two minutes brought
notice but in nowise revived
the ancient enthusiasm. And while
men thrill to the racing game today
when a hoppled field turns the track IN
an effort to earn oats and meal ticket
the glamor Of the game is gone. No
body breaks out as a prominent breed
er of American harness thoroughbreds.
1t will never come back. The auto
mobile and its shrinking motor has bust
ed it from stem to gudgeon. And it is
a pity for fine harness horse was a
great JOY and withal friend. So was
the hunting dog. And as they go on
their way to Oblivion there are those
who loved them and sported with them
who look fondly after both with sigh
Of regret.

As 10 DECENT WARFARE"

The Des Moines Capital speaks OF
"the tiendish submarine" 1t says 1T
does not belong to decent warfare
ETC., etc.
All true as to the submarine. AS
true of the hidden mine. Equally true
of the air dropped bomb. Quite as
true of all the agencies that STAY with
out opportunity of escape and reprisaL
True Of the huddled bodies within the
fort that was rent and pulverized by a
great shell fired from hidden shelter
half score of miles away. True OF
the victims of shell shock who gibber
in the base hospitals of Europe. True
OF the infantrymen who lie rotting
strown on the slopes where they met
the hail of machine guns. True of all
human slaughter True, all true eX-
cept the suggestion of decent war
fare"
All war is indecent and obscene. The
deserted battlefield attracts obscene
birds and carrion quadrupeds. When
men meet to slay each other they de-
scend into an inferno. War is ca
lamity. II Is pestilence. 1t is can
Ger on the breast of the world. No
flowers of speech may hide its hid
eousness. No music can drown its
voice Of agony There is no decency
in slaughter and war is slaughter
But it exists in the world as other
indecencies and obscenities exist. II
we must meet it in America we shall!
face it bravely If it shall be thrust
upon US we shall not shrink from it's
horrors but maintain human rights
boldly. OF this there has never been
doubt in the minds Of true Americans.
And brought to the such arbitrament
we shall urge 1t to the bitter end with
courage and complete fortitude; but
with a full knowledge Of its cruelty
and ndecencies and innumerable hor-
rors. as a necessity made unavoidable
in defence of our own country and the
rights of mankind.
The submarine is fiendish War is
fiendish. And whatever rules of war
fare we may formulate war will re-
main fiendish while it demands human
sacrifice thru bloodshed and starva-
ton.

Gumption is mild explosive which
acts like bottle OF strawberry pop
with a tack hammer. 1t is one OF the
most useful ingredients man can have
in his system, unless 1t is allowed to
torment too rapidly, when 1t becomes
more dangerous than the sinuous hind
leg OF an aggrieved mule
No man ever took the count in bust,
ness life until he ran out OF gumption.
The young man who starts out with
nothing but the proceeds OF his fathers
farm will not get very far unless ne
has good stock Of gumption to put
with Il. The only man who ever comes
back after falling into the hands OF q
receiver Is the one who never learned
how to spell gutter" The reason why
so many men retire hurriedly from the
general merchandise business and DRIFT
like an autumn leaf on the mill pond IS
because they let their gumption ooze
out the same. hole that swallowed up
their book accounts.
When man has real gumption
nothing Is going to stop him 80 long as
his breath keeps coming. Some OF the
greatest fortunes in this country aave
been made by men who ran out OF
money several times, but always had q
reliable, ball-bearing brand OF native
gumption to fall upon. Many father
who had fought and clawed his way TO
the top with the aid OF some good OLD
Scotch gumption was not able TO leave
any to his son, which accounts Tor the
large number OF two-legged yacuums

NO QUESTION OF FITNESS.

| General Lincoln declares that the
Iowa guardsmen are splendid soldiers
fit for the field in any war we may
find necessary to wage.
| The general is a soldier Of service.
He knows soldiers when he sees them;
but it does not need soldiers train
| ing or warriors knowledge to utter
judgment on any company or regiment
seen in the north. The men compris-
ing the national guard are fit Ameri-
can citizens, strong and young and
intelligent as they are brave. They
are the type Of the volunteer soldiery
that have Tough. cur wars and when
the necessity for their service ended
came quietly back to citizenship and
the duties of peace. They are their
fathers sons.
1t requires much longer in peace
than in war to make a soldier. The
raw levies of the civil war became
veterans after a baptism Of fire. The
men who have been on the border have
come home soldiers. The men who are
to fight our battles-if there shall be
battles to be fought-wll become SOL
diers quickly under stress and strain.
When all has been said and done moth
ing makes real soldiers but war. Train
ing is the college. Battles and cam
paigns are the practical application Of
training.
The volunteer soldier OF the United
States has fought and won its wars
He has been willing, able, capable
The guard is Of the best type of Ameri-
can volunteers. All question GIFTS Mt
ness may be dismissed without dis
cuss;on for there is nothing ieN to
discuss Without doubt in event OF a
real war with first class power We
shall resort to CONSUMPTION. We may
do so in the organization OF an ade-
quate military force under present
conditions SO far as CONSUMPTION "a
concerned II is the lalTest iasH1oh ~
raising armies. 1t lays the burden
without discrimination as to persons
and argues the general responsibility
Of all citizens fit to bear arms.
But when we seek soldiers, whether
by enlistment or CONSUMPTION we shall
not be able to find better material for
an army that the men who are now
guardsmen.

Ever since the Rev. s. F. Smith

"My country tbs of thee. sweet land of
liberty composers have been urged
to write a tune that would represent
America and not Great Britain. We
ccntiue to use the same old tune, God
save the king" Only recently the Des

over new tune and urged it's adoption
that we might have words and tune
strictly American. s
Why change tunes now?
If we are to announce ourselves
openly as an ally Of Great Britain in
stead Of continuing as we have been
an ally, anho processing neutrality
we might as we'll get used to the
words of God save the king and sins
