The Hiqhest Greatness.

There are different orders of great ness. Among these the first rank is unquestionably due to moral greatness. or magnanimity; to that sublime energy, by which the soul, smit.en with the love of virtue, binds itself indis' solubly, for life and death, to truth and duty: espouses as its own the interests of human nature; scorns all meanness and deties all peril; hears in its own conscience voice louder than threat enings and thunders; withstands ali the powers of the universe, which would sever 1t from the cause of free dom and religion; reposes an unfalter- ing trust in God in the darkest hour, and is ever ready to be offered up" on the altar of it's country or of man. kind.-Wllliam Ellery Charming.

FRANCES RECRUITS AND OURS

A cable from Paris states that France has called it's 1918 class of youths to the colors, and Cut of this last batch of conscripts 340,000 strong only five per cent are found physic ally unfit for army service. This remarkable result is attribut ed to the fact that the youths arc from the farms of France. and before handling guns, did nothing in theft lives but handle the blow the ax and the pitchfork.
 The low percentage of rcjections is the record since the great war began and is far lower than the percentage of rejecticns of those who were rais- cd in the cities and industrial centers.
 The same is true of our own coun try. The boys from the country when applying for enlistment, invariably pass the medical examinations but the young men from the city, in spite of the sports existing there and in which every lad takes interest, usual ly fail in large numbers to pass into the army or navy.
 City and industrial life with it's malnutIition, living ill cramped quar- ters, bad air. and general disregard of the laws of health in a great many instances, bears it's inevitable fruit in lessened vitality, which in noth- ing shows so unickly and inexoribly as when the recruit presents himself for national service.
 It has only been in recent years that this spectre of deterioration has been recognized. and in most of our states stringent laws have been passed to protect the rising generation from tho evils that have gone before. This is as it should be. And ii the day of universal military service ever ar rives. and it shows up" our youth in constant streams, tho resulting rigid laws to eliminate this sort of thing will undoubtedly prove won derfll national benefit

ssTHE RAILROADS MADE THE COUNTRY"

We often hear the claim made that the railroads made the country, and that for this reason. they should be granted privileges: especially the privileges they want from the federal and state governments.
 We do not think the Railroads made the country; rather. it is evident the country made the railroads.
 The railroads from the first would have been impotent without the pop ulation to draw on. They merely fla cilitated transportation of something that already existed.
 Even in our late day we do not see railroads built into sections of continents far removed from popula- tion: we don't see railroads built along the fringe of the Arctic sea, for instance. in order to make" the country. No railroad is ever built anywhere if there is no opportunity to move something to or from that direction something that already exists.
 The country made the railroads possible. gave them financial encour- agement, and other rrivileses.
 The attitude of the country now is to have the railroads stand on their o,,,, faot rot nrONnoI uD hv CnV. ernmental privileges.
 But in this they are entitled to a square deal just as we expect a square deal from the railroads.

FEDERAL EFFICIENCY.

The red tape efficiency of our fed eral governmental least, in small things-can well be cited from the case of an enterprisng farmer who saw mention of two farmers bullee tins and who wanted copies of each. Such cases are happening every day.

 Not to he moved at so slight an ob. 1stacle, MT. Farmer wrote to the superiutendent of documents enclos- ing five two cent stamps. 4 few days later hs received an envelope under
