low man. That as cooperation be-
tween our Federal and State Govern
ment Is essential to our very exist

urge more intensive cooperation by
enactment OF such laws as will stimu-
late agricultural interest, broaden our
Educational Institutions and advart-

The First Anniversary.

The suggestion that April 6 should
be observed as the anniversary of
the American entrance into the
war will undoubtedly meet with a
response in many quarters, though
the spirit in which the day will be
observed will net be that of a holi-
day.
The first year has been a year of
preparation and the second will be
largely of the same character, for
the full power of the United States,
even under the most urgent press
ure and vigorous management, will
not be developed at the end of an
other IL months:
This country has little to cele
brate, as yet, except a lofty in
tention, and that will best be honor
ed by dilieent effort to turn the in
tention into accomplishment.
There are. however, some matters
that may well ENGAGE attention on
the first anniversary of American
participation in the war. 1t is al
ways necessary to keep clearly in
mind what the country fights for
and to keep the motives of the
nation pure and high II is neces,
sary that every citizen should re-
consider his duties from time to
time. Service is needed and sacri-
! fees are demanded. One is likely
to grow lax 10 these things. The
sixth of April is fitting day upon
which to occupy the mind with
these and kindred subjects in order
that there may be a new understand.
