eCAHARACTER ASSASSIN IS MUIR
DERER OF THE SOUL"

They that kill the body are not to
be feared, but they that destroy the
souls the teaching Of the Bible.
The worst kind of murderer is the
character assassin" He is more
contemplate than the Hun who rams
you with his bayonet-for in going
lover the top" it's either you or he
and you nave an almost equal chance.
But the man or woman who sets
out to destroy your reputation-and
this kind of job isn't limited to
either sex-uses only the weapons
and the methods which have made
the Hun the most despised of all
fighters in the worlds history
weapons and methods that parallel
the Huns use of poison gas, the sub
marine, the Zeppelin and his indie
feasible assaults on defenseless non
comabtants.
The character assassin" never
fights in the open where you can
either get at him or at least defend
yourself-he fights from an ambush,
he uses "camouf1age" to corver up his
motives, he is consummate hypo-
critic, using pious phrases which de-
ceive even the "elect" protesting to
do Gods service.
He sometimes accomplishes his pur-
poses by complete silence when
Just a world from him would set you
right with those who are discussing
you.
ible than the slanderous remarks of
your enemies who are fighting in
mo Mans Land" because it is usu-
ally more -blooded-whereas the
definite charge of your accuser may
be due to the heat of fancied wrong,
and there's just chance for you
when the SANDER is clearly stated.
Another Hun weapon of the Char
acter assassin" is the shrug of the
shoulders when you are being dis
cussed-that's all.
And it's quite enough-used at
just the right moment.
It's as fatal as the hand-grenade
timed to blow men to eternity in just
five seconds from the time of its re-
lease.
Most hideous of all Hun weapons
used by the character assassin" is
the smile-that superior, indulgent,
eyebrow lifting, lip hardening smirk
the degradation of one of God S
most wonderful gifts to men, for 1t
was only to men that he gave this
beautiful expression of the soul-the
smile.
But used by the murderer of the
soul-the character assassin"-it
becomes the weapon of the devil.

The Pep of the Free.

The Kaiser, in a st. Louis Post
Dispatch cartoon, asks German
chemist why he cannot make some
of the American pep which has
played such havoc in the German
lines recently.
ut cannot be done in an imperial
laboratory" replies the chemist.
There is good deal of truth in
the Post-Dispatch cartoonist's pict-
ure. The Germans are beginning to
feel the effect of the pep of a free
people who are led, not driven, by
their officers, and who are fighting
not for gain, but for the preservation
of the privileges of freemen.
There is nothing under the sun
like the spirit of a free people in a
fight for right. Had France or
England been an autocracy such as
Germany is the Kaiser would have
reached Paris in the fall of 1914. 1t
was the spirit of the soldiers of
France, the most republican repub-
lie, and of England, "a crowned de-
mocracy," which made the victory of
the Germans impossible.

The recent session of the 1918
Kentucky Legislature enacted into
law an act relating to dogs, requiring
them to be listed, with the assessor
at the time of assessing property as
required by law, providing for license
and tags for each and every dog to
be issued by the county clerk of the
various counties in Kentucky, and
for failure to list each dog, as we'll
as for any other violation of the act,
a penalty of not exceeding 500 or
Imprisonment of not exceeding three
months, or both, at the discretion of
the court, is prescribed.
THE word owner when applied
to the proprietorship of a dog, shall
include every person having a right
of property in such dog, and every
person who keeps or harbors such
dog or has it in his care, and every
person who permits dog on or about
any premises occupied by him."
In order to achieve the results in
tended by the passage of this act, it
will be necessary for rigid enforce
ment of this measure. Therefore it
behooveS every one to list each and
every dog with the assessor.

"W0RK-OR-FIGHT' ORDER MOST
DRASTIC OF WAR.

The far-reaching character of the
new "work-or-fight" regulations,
under which the government pro-
poses to put every man of draft age
into some useful employment or into
the army, probably will not be fully
realized by the country until the eff
fects of its operation appear in every
community.
The sweeping character of the Gov
ernment's purpose to put every able
man of draft age either into the army
or some useful occupation is indi-
Gated by Provost Marshal General
Crowder's official announcement, but
inasmuch as every case will come up
determination on it's merits as the
operation of the regulation goes for
ward, it will become apparent that
the scope Of the Governments action
probably is limitless.
As an outgrowth if the plan con-
ceived and known as putting the
nation to work." the new regula-
tions probably will be more and more
until it becomes necessary to raise
the draft age above 81. Military au-
thorities are of the opinion now that
it will not be necessary to raise the
draft age, and that the man-power
of the nation is sufficient if those now
of draft age are fully utilized.
The first effect of the new regula-
tions will be to drive idlers to work
or into the army Moreover, it will
be the idler's own responsibility to
get useful job before July 1. Then
will come the determination of what
constitutes useful employment, and
this, it is pointed out, will come in
for closer and closer determination
as the war goes on. An employment
reasonably useful under present con-
ditions might by the developments of
the war come to be considered useless
in comparison with the greater needs
of the war.

Bishop Charles e. Woodcock, of
Louisville, at the closing session of
the Kentucky Federation of Women's
Clubs, in Lexington, almost startled
the delegates when he declared that
peace brought by lighting is not
lasting, and that this war will not
be ended when peace is declared, but
simply suspended for a time, and will
break out again."
Bishop Woodcock said:
mo peace can be lasting until we
have some such plan as an interna-
tional law which can be depended
upon to prevent the larger nations
from taking advantage of their
smaller neighbors."

tributes to America we have ever

God built a continent of glory and

studded it with sweet-fiowing foun-

soft-rolling plains and columned it
with laundering mountains. He

and the increase of the army to Is

Alterations also are contemplated

DEMAND FOR WORKERS IS
 STILL ACTIVE

The unabated demand for steno- graphers and typewriters continues. Our government sends out the IS. o. s. call for young men and wo- men to come to it's aid, to prepare themselves for civil service examina- tions and purges them to use every available means to secure instruc- ton at the earliest possible date.
 Realizing that everyone is trying to do their bit for their country. the Juneau Night School responds gladly to the call and has arranged with MT. Britain to conduct second begin ner's class in shorthand and type writing, the first class meeting has been definitely set for Thursday evening, January 10th, at 2 o'clock. Those desiring to enroll will find the office open Wednesday evening from : to o'clock It is time to think. And you will act. This will be the last opportunity to enroll.

nurses will give final rcassurance Primitive peoples can alphabetically watch other groups die out from disease or for lack of food. Civilized people have not the hardihood to permit the Eskimos or the Indians to starve or to perish from preventa- ble diseases. That is one unanswer- able justification of the invasion
 The work of the physicians and nurses, as well as that of the teach CTS who travel to the Eskimo will lages, is in itself one of the finest products of our age. The dangers they run are appalling. One physi- ,ian, Dr. L. H. French. mentions be- ing caught by gale while travelling down from Boring in a twenty-five foot launch. The mere catalogues of the cases treated by these min erent doctors, furthermore, give fresh proof of the fallacy of the ancient belief that savages are blessed with health.
 Thus civilization is reaching the Arctic Ocean. It is intruding upon l picturesque order which in it's own turn challenges some of the most treasured beliefs of the white mans way of life. But the advance

it may be truly called exciting. The
