Landed in the Street.

A thin, sickly, little man entered
one of the stores in one Of our small
towns recently and quietly seated
himself on a convenient chair. One
of the clerks approached and asked ii
he wished to purchase anything,
"Oh, no. said the man, II just drop
ped in for few minutes" After an
hour had passed, the manager of the
store, becoming curious, approached
him and asked what could be done
for him. why nothing that know
off, said the man, "You see l have
nervous prostration and the doctor
told me to stay in quiet place.
Noticing that you do not advertise ]
thought this would be about the qui-
eteSt place 1 could find"
Let me tell you it was anything
but quiet there for five minutes. The
poor little man found himself in the
street wishing that he had landed on
a featherbed. But the next week the
store surprised itself with a big dis
play ad in the home paper

CONGRESS PASSES THE WAR TAX
BILL.

The great War Tax Bill, providing
for a total of about $4,000, 100000
was passed Monday night by the
Senate. 1t is the largest single tax
alton measure in American history
The Senate adopted Senator Shoots
motion, to strike out the McKellaI
amendment providing zone increase
in second-class postage rates beyond
800 miles and designed to secure
$12, 100000. The House zone pro-
vision and the Finance Committee s
special publishers profits provisions
already had been eliminated. Sena-
tor LaFollette's substitute War Tax
Bill, proposing to raise about $780,
100000 solely from income war
profits, liquor and tobacco, was re-
jected.

In speech in Congress the other
day, Representative Meeker, of ST.
Louis, presented a list showing that
there are 746 highly alcoholic medi-
cines that will not be affected by the
bone dry law, as alcohol for medi-
cinal purposes are exempted under
it. Many of these so-called medicines
contain from 40 to SO per cent. of
alcohol, while beer as rule contains
somewhere about 6 per cent, wines
10 to % per cent. and whisky bot
tied in bond only SO per cent. 1t
will thus be seen that jags on patent
medicines may come to be general
and what is worse create an appetite
for liquors among the innocent who
think they are benefited by decoc-
tions.

Let's Look After This.

Why wait till the hay fever is in
full swing before cutting down the
weeds which cause it? Every town
in the country has it's vacant lots
overgrown with the weeds whose
pollen will, in week of two, begin
to blow into the noses of those sub
ject to the affection. Now is the time
to cut down these rank growths.
Hay fever is not joke. 1t is dis
ease. Some of it's victims it incapaci.
tates only partly, some wholly. A
competent business man fiat on his
back, his temperature above normal,
requiring the almost continuous at
tention of someone to put bandages
dipped in boric acid solutions over
his eyes for days at time is not a
fit subject for humor. This, though
a real case, may seem as extreme one.
But something similar to this is
found in every ones experience.
This misery is to a large extent
preventable. If all the weedy
growths within reasonable distance of
habitations are cut down now, the
suffering from hay fever this autumn
can be minimized if not wholly re-
moved.
Weeds are also the Kaiser's allies.
The pollen which blows over the
country next month will cause much
extra work in next years garden. To
stop work for day or two now to
remove the Objectionable plants be-
fore their period of reproduction will
save much more than the same time
next summer. Also, the country needs
the normal energy of the hay fever
ties this year.
We've fewer weed patches in Paris
this season than we had last, too,
because many of those vacant lots
once given over to mosquito breeding
are now productive war gardens. So
it won't require as much work as
was necessary last season.
Anyhow, there's no need in wasting
our time in arguing.
Go on out and cut your weeds.

An Editorial Worry.

We came very near losing a sub
scriber yesterday, because we failed
to see wherein it would be of inter
est to our readers or of benefit to
ourselves to give UP three columns of
space to an essay on Reforms Which
Should Come at the Close of the
War
1t seems that old Mother Nature.
when she started in business, cut
out pattern for a man Who can't
get it into his head that a newspaper
is published for several people and
not an individual, and every now and
then they make a new one off that
pattern. There are still left in the
world large number of people who
think that the hardest work an editor
has to do is to find something to put
in the paper" All the arguments
known to man have failed to convince
some folk that an editors job would
be as sweet as honey if he didn't have
to worry over what not to put in the
paper. Anyhow, we came very near
losing this one subscriber, because
we politely refused the manuscript
with the suggestion that the writer
bring it to us the day after peace is
declared.
But We have found a remedy, since
we saw how easily some people be-
come miffed when an editor declines
to displease all of his readers to grant
the wish of one. We have discovered
how Chiense editors go about re-
jecting manuscript they do not desire
to publish. We have unearthed a let
ter one of them wrote an author re-
Gently, and we're going to pass it
along to our brother editors, for we
know they, too, are frequently in
need of something like it. Here is the
way Chinese editor rejects some
thing he doesn't want, and his read
ers wouldn't stand for:
'Illustrious brother of the sun and
mooni Look upon the slave who
rolls at thy feet, who kisses the earth
before thee, and demands of thy char
ity permission to speak and live. We
have read the manuscript with de-
light. By the bones of our ancestors
we swear that never before have we
encountered such a masterpiece.
Should we print it, the Majesty, the
Emperor, would order us to take it as
"a criterion and never again print
anything which was not equal to it.
AS that would not be possible before
10000 years, all tremblingly we re-
turn the manuscript and beg thee
10000 pardons. See-my head is at
thy feet and am thy slave and thy
servant"

object the elevation of the common

What Is Democracy?

Congressman Davey Lewis, Of Mary
land, a coal miner who at the age of
p, was unable to read or write, in
recent speech in congress gave the
following definition of Democracy, a
definition that shows how far he has
gone since learning to read:
Byron, the poet said: Democracy
the devil was the first democrat while
enthusiastic devotees have declared
that the first democrat was the Car
penter of Nazareth. Now, we demo-
Gratis belong somewhere between these
two extremes. Where is it? Herbert
Spencer declared democracy to be the
ultimate social truth
"The truth is, my friends, democ-
racy is difficult to define, because it
is not a dogma nor doctrine suscep-
tible of formal statement. 1t may be
better described as that great move

The Chamber Of Commerce.

The campaign for membership in
augurated this week by the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce should meet
with a hearty response from every
person interested in the progress of
the city. During the past year the
Chamber has accomplished much for
Aberdeen and the surrounding coun-
try, and lit can put through any civic
development that it wants, provided
it can get power enough behind it. The
power depends entirely upon the peo-
pie of the city. What they make up
their minds to do they can do.
The Chamber of Commerce is mere
ly the organization and direction of
this power, but it lies entirely with
the people to furnish the power and
backing necessary to accomplish the
ends sought. Where there is enthus-
iasm and strong public opinion any
thing can be done. The year 1917
presents The greatest opportunities
for development that have ever be-
fore confronted Aberdeen, and it only
requires concerted action upon the
part of those interested to seize them.
Aberdeen should have a Chamber of
Commerce of not less than 400 men,
bers, but it really has less than 100.
Add rs per cent to it's power and the
work it could accomplish would bene-
fit every resident and property owner
of the city. Joining the Chamber is
not a sentimental affair, it is purely
a business matter. The natural ad.
yantages of Aberdeen are numerous,
