Wage-Payer demonstrated, insisting
that the course Wage Garner wished to
take was dangerous and if pursued
would lead to the destruction of the
boat. Then finding that words were of
no avail, Wage-Payer angrily seized the
oars and began to pull with all his
strength in the direction he thought
was right.
For some time the men continued to
row violently, and their misdirected ef-
forts almost capsized the boat, which
e-sawed back and forth but made no
definite progress in either direction.
But perspiration is great mental
clarifier, and after the boat-mates had
sweated profusely they stopped row.

Whereupon Wage-Earner, instead of

his face to the Prov Of the boat and
began to pull strenuously at the oars.

THE DOCTORS AND THE EDITORS

A doctor in an Iowa town expressed
the opinion that newspapers were run
for revenue only, whereupon the edi-
tor Of country paper in a neighbor-
ing town expressed himself in the fol-
lowing statement, published in his
paper;
What in thunder do doctors run for
anyway? Do they run for glory? One

In the course of this correspond

Of it, of unpatriotic criticism of the

is now on. The government has taken
it's stand. The man who does not,

PASS THE APPLES.

When every pool in Eden was
mirror,
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without single
fear or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became inclined to be
prude
And found that evermore she'd have
to grapple
With the much debated problem of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of con
vention,
And modesty, as we'll, I suppose.
Reactions come about in fashions
recent,
Now girls conceal so little from the
men,
1t would seem in the name of all
that's decent,
Some one ought to pass the apples
round again.

the visit. If the editor calls on anoth-
er mans wife he gets charge of buck
shot. A medical college can make
doctor. You can't make an editor; he
has to be born one. When the doctor
gets drunk it is a case of Overcome
by heat" and if he dies it is heart
failure. When an editor gets drunk it
is too much booze and he dies of de-
lirium tremens. The editor works to
keep from starving, while the doctor
works to ward off the govt. The edi-
tor helps men to live better, and the
doctor assists them to die easy. The
doctor pulls a sick mans leg; the edi-
tor is glad if he can collect his bills

my memory little, few days ago.
Two days after Sumpter fell Phila-
delphia crowd made every place on
Chestnut and Market streets hang out
the flag, or some sort of a red, white
and blue emblem. Ten days later
President Lincoln declared Marshal
law in many places. Marshal law is
military law. 1t suspends habeas
corpus, and a man who is arrested
under it not only loses his liberty, at
the pleasure Of military authorities,
but they do not have to tell him what
charge is against him. Every dollars
worth of his property may be confis-
Gated, forever, to the government.
Men may be found who will now pooh,
pooh, that sort Of thing, but an his
torical authority tells me that $4,000
persons were arrested and confined
under Marshal law, during the four
years of civil war. My advice is, don't
trif1e with the government in time of
war. A man will find that he is very
small and helpless in such contest.

Against Governor Philips pronun-
ciamento that he is opposed to the
draft and that Wisconsin will raise it's
full quota at all times, stands the APP
paIling fact that enlistments have
been startlingly small. The Cover
nOr's idea is something like that Of
w. J. Bryan who held that "a mill
lion men would spring to arms be-
tween sunrise and SHUTDOWN" even
though critics pointed out that they
hadn't any arms and that if they
"sprang" they would represent little
more than an unframed mob.
The fact is that opponents Of Pres
ident Wilson'S plan may not be will
fully nupatriotic but they are tacitly
SO. We can give no further aid and
comfort to our enemies than by op-
posing means of placing ourselves i'll
an attitude Of self protection. There
never has been a big war in this or
any other country that conscriptions
did not come sooner or later. In the
civil war draft came in after two
years and lasted through simply be-
cause by no other means could armies
be recruited.
1t is not fair to shove everything
on the patriots.

What British Defeat Would Mean to Us.

What British Defeat Would Mean to Us,
Worlds Work
If by hook or crook the Germans
could destroy the British heavy bat
tleship fleet in a night the whole di-
rection and destiny of humanity
would be changed. The fate of this
world as it is organized today hangs
on that little group of engines Of war
off the north coast Of Scotland and
the men who control it. They mean
more to us and posterity than anyone
quite realizes. Should this little group
of floating gun platforme fail in it's ap-
pointed task, we would feel the effects,
next to Great Britain, more than any
country or people in the world. 1t
would mean that England would be
starved into submission. 1t would
mean that we would probably lose all
the money that we have loaned to
England and all that she owes us. 1t
would mean a financial panic such as
the world has never seen. Credit
would dry up. Exchange would break
down All the fabric of international
commerce would be destroyed. All
the relationships that have been es-
tablished between nation and nation
and people and people would have to
be reconstructed on new basis. 1t
would mean nothing less than the re-
construction of the civilization of the
whole world

There is a broad demand for khaki

and the pressure on dye and finishing
works is becoming greater every week.
Wash goods are generally quie;, unsea-

Cotton

Tnseasonably low temperatures IN
the South prompted buying in the cot
ton market early yesterday but prices
soon weakened under scattered liquIda-
ton. July contracts. for instance, sold
off from 1915 to 194S and closed at
1850. with the general list closing at
net decline of / / 10 l6 points. The action
Of the market indicated that besides the
usual evening UP transactions for over
the week end speculative accounts were
being closed out in order 10 increase
subscriptions TO the government BONDS.
Closing prices were within a point or
two of the lowest.
EXcept for the low temperatures:
weather conditions were considered
generally favorable. After the first
furry of covering there was little sup.
mort around the ring, and the volume OF
business was small during the entire
session There was no change in the
character of the news from the goods
trade. Marine war risks were reported
firm. with slight advances IN some al.
rections. The board OF managers OF
the New York Cotton Exchange mas
passed a resolution favoring the adop-
ton Of the daylight saving plan now
before Congress and asking individual
members of the exchange who approve
the idea so to notify members OF the
senate committee. The passage of this
law would lead TO an increased oppor-
tunstv for arbitrage business between
Tiverpool and New York during the
summer months.
