'The clerk thought 1t would be pleas
ant to walk home through the park
and take look at the flower beds. He
soon met young friend, who was a
poet.
HellO! cried the clerk in greeting.
@YOu are lucky chap. You sit in the
park and write poems while the rest of
US fellows are tied by the leg M
IF my chain is invisible it is also
tied to the bread tree" replied the poet.
But you have a steady job and never
have to worry about where the bread
comes from
You poets are strange chaps" said
the clerk. i should like to be a poet
so could understand you better. What
lovely spring day this is, poets per-
feet day! The air is so clear and the
clouds are so beautiful! And there is
such delicious scent from the shrubs
and the flowers! / feel today as
have not felt for years.
Nov you children will see that the
young clerk has already become a
poet, just as he Wished" said daddy
This fragrant air reminds me Of
Aunt Magdalena's violets,' he raved
on. when was a little boy l used
to visit her. She lived behind the
Exchange, but she always managed
to have a bed Of sweet violets and
herbs that smelt like fairyland to me.
What superb view there was from
her roof! She used to take me up there
to gaze out over the canals and to
watch the great white ships and the
jolly sailor boys. 1t gave me my first
vision Of distant countries and travel.
But, great heavensI Why am talking
like thisY" And then daddy kissed the
children good night.
THANK you, daddy cried the chill
dren, running upstairs to bed.

A child who needs glasses needs

his glasses or outgrow them is to do
him an irreparable injury.

If, as war measure, it is neces-
sary to place limit on the amount of
grain and sugar that may be used in
the manufacture of wine, beer and
whiskey, it ought to and will be done,
just as has been done in England and
other European countries. But, as a
rational friend of the cause Of tenn
perance, we are Of the opinion that the
efforts that are being made in con-
gress to force national prohibition
at this time, are ill-advised. National
prohibition may come in the near fu-
ture, not as a war measure, but as
something; the cool, sober judgement
Of the people demand, and then it will
come to-stay.

AN ALIEN PUBLICATION.

ssffE
a copy Of a measly publ alton, with
the high-sounding title of q Northern
Review Culture Magazine for North
west" has reached the Unions table.
"a hasty perusal Of its pages leads us
to believe that it is edited by a Prus-
sian lJunker. We have been unable to
find single sentiment expressed in
its columns that could, by any stretch
Of the imagination, be construed as
friendly to the United States.
The leading article in this detachable
publication for. May is by Hon. James
A. Peterson Of Minneapolis, under the
caption Of "Why are We in the Euro-
pean War;" Mr.. Peterson knows full
well why we are in the war. Presi-
dent Wilson and the congress Of the
United States have already answered
his interrogatory. Perhaps the presi-
dent and congress should have con-
suited with Mr.. Peterson before taking
any steps to maintain the honor and
dignity Of our flag and protect Ameri-
can women and children from being
ruthlessly murdered on the high seas.
Be that as it may, we are in the war
and it is the duty Of Mr.. Peterson
and all other good American citizens
to contribute every effort within their
power to bring it to a. successful con-
clusion. The American who by word
or deed gives aid and comfort to the
enemy is traitor to his country.

question Of war prohibition is left to
him, a Thorough and ADMINISTRATION
will be made before any action is
taken. The results to be obtained will
be weighed as against the dislocation
of revenue and industry. Real facts
are wanted, and the food administra-

true objective and take no interest in
ethical questions involved in this or
any other question. All fair minded
citizens will approve this stand.

Alexis Georgian, a Socialist editor
in Minneapolis, is making himself con-
spicuous by urging men not to regis
ter on June 9Th. Georgian is a ma
tive Of Russia and probably never
tasted white bread in his native land.
And still he has the audacity to coun-
sci people to disregard the law of the
land that furnished him a home, an
opportunity to amass riches and to
breathe the air of freedom. He should
be deported as an undesirable. There
is altogether too much leniency shown
law-defying ingrates of the Georgian
stripe.

American newspapers as a whole
are displaying commendable patriot
ism, even to the extent of voluntarily
refraining from publishing important
news items that might possible injure
the cause of the Allies. Even so, it
would be only a course of prudence to
have proper censorship law. There
may be few instances where publish.
ers fail to exercise the best Of judg.

and the means should be at hand tc
