Making Haste Slowly.

The grandparents of little Virginia
were recently visiting her and one day
her grandfather whom she called
"bampa,' happened to be upstairs
when the maid called dinner. The
grandmother, accompanied by Virginia,
went to the foot of the stairs and called
to hurry, Waiting few
moments and not seeing her grand
father appear, she said: "Bampa is
slow hurrying, isn't hep

McCloud, who had come all the way
from Omaha to join his early comrades
in arms Wickwire, who had lost none
/ of his taciturn bluntness-and so many
train dispatchers that the service on
the division was crippled for the entire
day.
1 A great company of self-appointed

all the country, rode behind the gayly
/ decorated bridal coach in procession
from the church to Jeffries' house,
where the feasts had been prepared.
/ During the reception a modest man,
dragged from an obscure corner among
/ the guests was made to take his place
next Lefever on the receiving line. It
was Bob Scott, and he looked most I'M
comfortable until he found a chance
to slip unobserved back to the side
of the room where the distinguished
Medicine Bend contingent, together
with McAIpin, Pardaloe, ElpasO and
Bull Page, slightly unsteady but ex-
tremely serious for the grave occasion,
appeared vastly uncomfortable to-
gether.
The railroad has not yet been built
across the sinks to Thief River. But
only those who lived in Sleepy Cat in
its really wild stage days are entitled
to call themselves early settlers, or TO
tell stories more or less authentic
about what then happened. The great
er number of the Old Guard of that
day, as cankering peace gradually re-
asserted itself along the sinks, turned
from the stage coach to the railroad
coach; some of them may yet be met
on the trains in the mountain country.

President Wilson, In Issuing regula-
lions for the working of the draft,
urged upon every member of every

THE GREAT DIFFERENCE.

Says the New York Times: "The
difference between the Roman EN-
Dire and all other empires is that the
Roman empire was universal. Its
theory involved the gathering to-
Sether of all the world, or all of the
world that really mattered, into one
family, which should be ruled by the
city OF Rome under the presidency
or the emperor. This ideal was at
tanned. We have lived so MANY cen.
turtles in a society in which nations
are independent OF each other that
we have come to regard that society
as the only natural one; we have for
gotten tho principle Of universalism
as the only possible order for the
world. We have forgotten that for
la long time it was the principle of
nationality that seemed strange and
irregular, and the principal of uniyer.
salism as the natural one. The state
Of mind existed long after the fall
OF the Roman empire; men could
not get Used to nationaiism, and kent
looking for the revival of the uniyers
al domination which had lasted SO
long and had made so deep an i'm
preston on the mind Of mankind"

THE FALL OF RIGA.

Lead us not into temptation"
| should be the prayer of the German
nation today, following its taking of
Riga
1t seems to be so easy now to take
Petrograd, and the glory of being
able to sit in the Russian capital is
so appealing, that perhaps there will
be march at once on the capital
and occupation of the city with use
of the ammunition plants and all else
there.
But, winner is even now coming on.
and for many months of the year the
port of Riga is closed more securely
than the U.boats of the Germans
themselves could close it. Around
the capital city will be piled many
feet OF snow, ritiless and binding.
Intense cold will wrap in it's numb
ing embrace the men who winter
there. Transportation will be practi-
caIly cut off by rail and entirely by
water
Permeated with Germanic princi-
pies, shot to pieces by intrigue, and
damned for its past injustices, the
great heart of Russia will not be
stabbed by the capture of ST. Peters
burg. Changed though the name has
been, its former name stirs past
memories that are not pleasing. It's
only feeling will be that of fear that
into the real Russia this horde may
I attempt to throw itself; and because
of this fear it is most likely that Rus
| STA will unite against a foe within
her very midst as she could not
! unite so long as that foe was on
| other than home soil
The entry of the Germans into Pet
rograd viii, we believe, be the sig
! nal for wa ing all the old traditions
and all the martial spirit of a pe0-
| PIE who SO long suffered under the
| lash OF tyranny that they will deter
| mine now that lash has been atruci;
! down, that they will not submit 10 q
sc0urge i'll the hands OF an outside
common enemy.
| Winter and the cold helped defeat
| Napoleon Kaiser William had best
take warning. 1t is great to hold the
port of Riga for its military impor-
lance, but we believe it would be a
| fatal Dunder to take Pctrograd.
The Kaiser can easily occupy Pet
| rograd now, we believes but in so
| doing must garrison and protect it
against Russian assault while he is
keeping the allies from striking to
the heart of his own empire.

And yet this low bedfellow OF
| thieves and assassins asks the people
of Georgia and the country to be
lieve that when he advocates plan
by which the United States shall pay
Tie billions Of damages caused b.
Germany he advocates a policy tC
which the president has agreed
word for word"
The pitiful part of ii is that the
easygoing public does not always
keep in mind today what the arch,
conspirator said yesterday. When he
loudly proclaims that Gerard or Sim
Dads or the president agrees with
him word for word" they do not al
ways trouble themselves to remem.
Der just what this pro-German mole
is burrowing after. 1t is thus thai
his virus is insldiously injected into
the minds of honest men.
But whenever he opens his mouth
the dastardly nature of his policy is
exposed, if we seek the facts. And
the question becomes more and more
urgent as to how much longer the
people of Georgia intend, to permit
this Shiny marplot to defle their
homes?
How many of US in Georgia are so
pro-German that we are willing to
follow the Hearst advice that we
burden ourselves for generations to
pay hundreds of billions of dollars for
the ravages Germany has wrought?
