The Facts Are
Doing the Welding

One can't be grateful enough
that neither Americans nor English
have time to sentimentalize over
each other. The facts of the case
are doing the welding.
On our way to visit some terri
tories under the American flag we
crawled through the packed lam of
High Street, parting the crowd as
delicately as maid combs lap
dog.
81 don't honk behind wounded"
our driver observed. "No, sir. If
he's got shock he's likely to jump
feet high. Tom! Oh, TONI" (this

damsel on each ARM, eff you'll
shift your folk piece to the right
I'll clear you" Tom mannuvred the
necessary few inches and "All clear;
go ahead, mate" said he.
$ But if you could have seen their
faces as they smiled at each other.
Tommy" has been instinctively
shortened to "Tom," which, since the
original Thomas Atkins is dead.
seems only just. But l couldn't find
out what we call the Americans gen.
orally. The one-legged man, you no.
tlce, used mate" Our driver, a
regular, was from Texas, had been
some time in that camp and knew
every foot of half Hampshire. His
travels on ex-Roman roads to pre-
Norman towns had taught him that
people here have surely lived before
us. Yes, sir. That's what l feel
all the time. When l was in New
York l went to see the tombs in
Trinity Church. l thought they
were old, but this country, it IS Old"
He drove us down "the road of
the lost footsteps" the holy road
from Winchester to the sea, and
pointed out the slab and cross put
up to the memory Of the men who
had passed along it since 1914. He
was familiar with this neighbour
hood, but how could he tell that
every foot of it was water-lopped
with tears, every dwelling darkened
by the memory of loss or the shad-
dow of suspense, every turn of the
road quivered with ghosts?
He Knew These
Pretty Places
In due course, and elsewhere, he

REFORMED SPELLING

Perhaps some readers of The
Press have noticed that we have
been spelling certain words not &C
cording to the spelling book. The
truth is we are yet little timid
about the matter, not having askt
anybody's advice about it. A good
many people now leave off the
S'gh" or ugh" to most words like
through, which we cant see is
any more use to the English lang
uage than the caudal appendix to
the alimentary canal.
Same way with 'preferred, :"
deferred" &c. Why double the
last 'r'2 Simplify it by spelling
it 'deferd, 'preferd' &c.
Why use two 'gs in druggist. or
two 't's in admitted.
'Enuf' often saves paper and
space.
Efficiency and economy is our
watchword even if we don't always
practice it.
The Press is getting a lot OF
heavy editorial' copy from dem
ocratic source, among which is al
attack on Senator Sterling's recore
in Congress. Said copy names
| four measures which it is alleged
that the Senator 'obstructed.' Th,
Press has not been able to follow
the record of any Of our congress
men: but we venture the sugges
ton that it does not necessaril
follow that a congressman oh
structs bill because he works t
get it amended in way that b
believes is right and proper. w
! advise voters to be slow in maxim
up their minds from peddled rec
ord that may not contain the Who'll
facts in the case.

The clerk of the Forest City
camp of Modern Woodmen is in
receipt of u circular letter from
Head Clerk A. n. Bort, headed "A
War Measure, which goes on to
say:
"lhc BOOKS of the local camp
should not b c held open
beyond the first day Of
the month in which the Pass
Reports are required. All members
who have not paid their assess
ments and dues on that date are,
by virtue of our laws, in suspen
sion. If you have members who
are ha6itually late in paying their
monthly liability, you will be lusti
fed in bearing down ON them and
insisting that they shall pay within
the month for which the assessment
is levied.
WAR conditions seriously affect
the labor situation. Some of our
experienced employees are in army
service, some have enterd employ
ment in war industrial lines. Pass
Reports now delayd in forwarding
should be speeded up-mailed to
reach Rock Island blythe 4th or 5th
of the month. This will distribute
the clerical work and enable us to
