Sanitary Fountains.

An investigation Of drinking foun-
tains at the University of Minnesota,
carried out by the state board OF
health, led to the rather startling re-
suit that the - fountains in use NJ
the university, most Of which belonged
to various supposedly sanitary" types
we're found to be improperly construct
ed to prevent contamination by the
consumer. according to the Scientific
American. The principal defect was
the vertical discharge Of the water,
making it necessary for the consumer
to place his mouth directly over the
point of discharge. 1t was found that
the ajority of persons drank with the
lips touching the nozzle. The investi-
gators devised new type of fountain
in which the discharge is at such an
angle that there is no possibility OF
water falling back from the mouth up
on or near the Orifice.

WREATH FOR ENEMY AVIATOR
Scotch Flyer Who Brought Down Ger

Corps to Deliver Flowers.

A true incident that reveals the re-
spect shown by allied aviatOrs for the
memory of daring enemy flyer is
told in "Tam O. the Scoots," by Ed
gar Wallace, writing in Everybody's.
Tam, an intrepid Scotchman, was
told that the man he had brought down
the day before was well-known Ger
man aviator named Won Zeidlitz, and
on behalf of the Royal Flying corps
Tam was selected to take a wreath to
the funeral.
'"The wreath, in tin box, firmly,
corded and attached to little para
chute, was placed in the fusilage of a
small Morane-his own machine being

Tam climbed into the seat. In five
minutes he was pushing up at the
extreme angle at which a man can fly.
Tam never employed lesser one.
"Evidently the enemy scout real

flyer and must have signaled his views
to the earth, for the antiaircraft bat
teries suddenly ceased to fire, and
when, approaching Ludezeel, Tam

made way for him, offering no mo-

German arms which would otherwise
have been certain, thus saving us from
the terrors of German niilitariSm. We
are fighting Germany because the sue
cess of Germany would mean the end
Of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free if kaiser
ism wins. If Germany should tri-
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with a victorious Teuton autocracy,
determined to conquer and subjugate
the world.
For 40 years Germany has been
building up a military machine, the
central thought of which has been
world domination, and this terrible
world calamity Of blood and misery is
the result of this aim of the German
autocracy.
Outlaw Among Nations.
Germany's method Of warfare, in the
sinking of merchant ships without
warning, in the drowning of helpless
women and children, in bOmbarding
unfortified cities, in lurking like as
sassins beneath the waters and in the
air, ready to strike and murder the I'M
armed. the unsuspecting. and the help
less. has evidenced savagery and
brutality such as the world has never
known before. Humanity will find it
difficult to forgive and history impos-
sible to forget. Germany is the out
law among the nations, trampling uD-
der foot every obligation of interna-
tional law, threatening every ideal
dear to the hearts of freemen; and
the world will not be safe place for
liberty until the German autOcracy IL
overthrown and crushed forever.
We would have lost the respect of
mankind and our own self-respect had
we failed to take up the gauntlet so
insolently thrown in our face by the
German rulers. We are fighting for
our own freedom and for the freedom
of all men during all the years to
come. 1t takes fighting to make the
people free and more fighting to keep
the people free. We want no con-
quered territory, we desire no indem-
aity. The mission of America in this

for democracy and autOcracy cannot
exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we were brought into the
world conflict, after the president had
don" everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that it was inevitable
that we should go in. for it is our war
us much as the war of England and
France. 1t is war to preserve our
rights and our liberties as much as
theirs.
Fight Is Universal.
1t is now evident to all thinking
Americans that Germany must be con-
quered or else Germany will conquer
us along with the rest Of the world.
There have been many fights for free
dom since the beginning Of history,
but they We're merely local, while this
is universal. There have been many
wars for the liberty of race, while
this war is for the liberty of all man.
kind. Other wars have been waged
to free one people, while this war IS
not only to keep ourselves free but to
make free humanity of every race and
Of every creed. The outcome will de-
termine whether the world will be all
democratic or all autocratic, whether
government of the people and by the
people shall obtain throughout the
earth or shall perish everywhere. We
are at war with Germany because
there is an irreconcilable conflict be-
tween the ideals of this republic and
the dominating purposes of the Ger
man autocracy. If our ideals do not
prevail, then the German autocracy
will prevail over us. We are fighting
Germany because Of outraged Bel

old, following the last great battle Of
the world, when there will be peace on
earth and good will in the hearts Of
America is to educate the world to this
desired contamination. To fulfill this
mission there must be loyalty and de-
votion to the ideals of America among
the people of America.
The democracy that we are fighting
for is the religion of brotherhood
among men; the religion that says,
"Thou shalt not lie; thou shalt not
steal;" the religion that demands the
application Of the Golden Rule in pub
lie and private life everywhere; the
religion that does not array class

Of all by causing each to respect the
rights Of the other; that eQualizes con-
ditions, not by dragging down those
who are up but by lifting up those
who are down; that does not attack
wealth honestly acquired, but wages
unending war against conditions that
create poverty; that protects property
rights, but recognizes the fact that
property rights should never be tncon-
sistent with human rights; that seeks
more government by the people, not
less government by the people; that
gives to each man an equal opportunity
to live and to labor upon the earth
that God has given to all. and to enjoy
untrammeled and unrestricted the
gains Of honest toll; the religion that
means more OF service and less Of

of the food department to our wives
and Kids to cease eating candy. Sugar
must be saved. The nation is becom-

us to.

A WORD IN ADVANCE.

The Butte Miner is entirely right in
submitting plain talk on the condition
of the drafted men before and after
their arrival in Spokane. Nothing is
to be gained by ignoring this disgrace
full episode from a sense of shame or
false pride.
The Muscular called attention to
a similar condition of affairs in this
city on the departure of our own men
and joins with the Miner in the hope
that further reference to the matter
will be unnecessary. The governor of
Montana should make a special re-
quest TO the authorities throughout
the state for their cooperation in
closing all drinking places for three
hours at least before the next depar-
ture of drafted men. The sight of men
intoxicated to the point Of disorder
leaves an unplea SAINT memory to the
citizens and relatives who are bidding

The Why Of Hat eriqands.

Detroit News--1t costs more than
$40 a year to have SO hat checked.
providing the owner is one of those
unfortunates who must eat two meals
a day in a dining place where the hat
checking trust has established one of
it's lairs. This also assumes that the
hat owner on each occasion hands the
representative of the trust the con-
ventional fee of 10 cents. A. writer in
a current magazine wonders why we
stand the robbery. The answer is
easy. We stand it because we are too
cowardly to protest. Each of us is
afraid that we will be called mean
and stngy if we do not give away
money that has not been earned. Most
of us are under the delnsions that we
really are giving the pleasant young
woman or the affable young man in
charge of the hatrack 4 contribution.
We know all about the checking trust,
and know that the. servitor on the job
gets only n fraction of our largess.
| while the remainder goes to enrich the
| mysterious persons higher up, who
control the checking privilege. 1t Isl
nothing but cowardice-the fear OF the
| opinion of persons whose good or bad
opinion is of no moment-which
| makes the series of small eStortions
| possible.
