The horse industry in many parts

Britain Suffers.
The inroads of war have played
havoc with the breeding Of Clydes-
dales, Shires and Suffolks In Great
Britain since 1914. The emergency
problems of war have shaken up
the system Of agriculture in Bri-
tain to such an extent that it has
been impossible to raise enough
horses TO fill the local demand, and
thousands of small tractors are be-
ing bought as supplement to
horse power.

George Is Doing 1t.

George Harvey in his North American Review
War Weekly, edited in Washington and printed in
New York, is going to have the time of his young
life if the first three issues of the War Weekly are
fair samples.
The gentle irony of Harvey does not stale. The
word "chucke" was created for Harveyized readers.
You feel genuinely sorry for the one who runs foul
of this distinguished editors satire, but you just
as genuinely certain that the blow was above the
belt and for the victims good. You are reminded
of Marse Henry Watterson's remark: "lf anyone
dares tell me to go to hell, want George Harvey
to do it,
With the precision of surgeon like Mayo,
George Harvey gets at once to the root OF every
question. His wide acquaintance among men, his
intimate association with those who have made and
are making history, eminently qualify him for the
role of the honest critic. .'.... ..5
Mr. Baker is "flippant" and "jaupty," and Mr..
McAdoo is con the job" and has made the best
record of any government official since the United
States entered the war"
If you are not already subscriber to the North
American Review, "be on the job" and send $500
and get the "War Weekly" for good measure.
You'll get your FIVE back in the first issue-if you
have the human brand on you. g. tEa

Until This Hour.

(On hearing that friend had been killed by
a bomb dropped from aeroplane during raid
over London.)
Until this hour l could not understand
The tawdry pride and tinsel pomp OF war,
Which flames its way across peaceful land
And sends men cheering to deaths abattolr;
The stark stee-sinewed hand of kindly might
Recoiling, conscious of its awful power .
To wreck, to maim to slay, to crush, to smite,

Resolved to WELD the dauntless blade and tight
The hordes whose murder-engnes blast the day
And whose helLdragons SLAYER through the

And though l sped them on with brave good-byes,
As they swung by with battle-stirring band,
The fire of resolution in their eyes
Until this hour / could not understand.
Now she is dead, struck down at night they say,
This child young, pure, so brave, fair,
Struck doYn alien land so far away
From home, while kneeling by her bed in

Ah! now understand and should my blade
The cringng foe transfix on conquered sods

Linking the Cities.

With all the trouble OF Transporting freight are
really of the possibilities of moving goods
by the use of motor trucks?
Do you know that a big tire manufacturer in
Akron, Ohio, maintains and operates schedule
between that city and Boston a number of modern
freighers-and in the face of all rail troubles is
keeping schedule and delivering the goods"
This is the age of motor trucks, we'll illustrated
in the service they have rendered the armies in the
field One conceive of the confusion avoided
by their constant in bringing to the firing line
troops. munitions and food. Without them the
hazards OF would have been infinitely greater
Why, therefore, we slow in adopting them
between cities 1t is conceivable that much of the
stress put the railroads would have been avoided
if there had been established line of motor trucks
between important cites-say between Baltimore
and Philadelphia and Washington for instance
These lines could be made of substantial value
Already Cleveland and Chicago are interlocked by
motor service on the highways. Toledo and Detroit
are likewise well served. Why not do the same
thing and relieve the conditions here?
We pass the thought along to some of our
enterprisng citizens being more worthy of
financing than buying the hole in the doughnut of
a wildcat mine oil we'll.

HENRY CLAY'S READY WIT.
F Famous Statesman Saves Vote by
Ability in RepoTtee.

Editor, The Washington Herald:
Henry Clay was the most magnetic
of all the public men whom our coun-
try has ever produced. He was not
only the most magnetic but the most
resourceful He was never caught in
any dilemma from which he could not
readily eXtricate himself
The following is an instance Of his
readiness in getting out of a difficult
situation. On one occasion vote he
had given in Congress offended one
of his constituents who unbraided him
for it and declared he would never
again support him for Congress.
Meeting this constituent on the
court green Mr.. Clay said to him: Il
am sorry you will not again support
me for Congress because of vote 1
gave on a certain measure. When
your rife misses fire do you throw it
away?' NO" replied the constituent,
q do not throw it away" What do
you do with it," asked Mr.. Clay.
why. I pick my flint and try it
again." replied the constituent.
Well" said Mr.. Clay. ARE you 60
ing to throw me away because I have
missed fire once?" Won't you let me
pick my flint and try again. Won't
you treat me as you do your rifle
when it misses fire?"
This ready reply satisfied the con-
stituent and completely won him over.
and he was ever after one Of his
most faithful supporters in his candi-
daCy for Congress.

TODAY'S BEAUTY AID.

Hair is by far the most con-
spicuouS thing about us and is
probably the most easily damaged
by bad or careless treatment. IL
we are very careful in hair wash
ing, we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine sham
poo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair; that dissolves and entire
ly removes all dandruff, excess oil
and dirt; can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dis
solving a teaspoonful of Canthrox
(Which you can get at any drug
gist's) in a cup of hot water. THIS
makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid-enough so it is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead OF
just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean. soft and plant.
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness Of natural color. also a
fluffiness which makes II seem
much heavier than it is. After
Canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is a plcssurc.-Ady.

PREDICTS DRY" SUCCESS.
Henry W. Blair Says Prohibition
Amendment Will Be Ratified.

Editor The Washington Herald:
And so the Democratic party. through
the New York World, its greatest and
best national organ, has confessed.
Such folks almost always do before
execution. In a like case. Daniel
Webster once said there was no
escape from confession, but in suicide
and suicide is confession"
Perhaps Old King Gambrinus
stimulated the World" a little in
order to save his own neck if pos
sible.
And what a confession this is of
continuous and confederated treason
by both wings of the Democratic party
during the last forty years:
The Southern Democracy got back
into the Union by promising to obey
the provisions of the amended Consti-
tuition of the United States. which
guaranteed freedom and equality to
all citizens of the land without dis
tinction of race or color, so that white
men have no right to vote in State
or nation unless colored men have the
same right. Thereupon being restored
to the Union and their old power
therein after an unsuccessful effort to
destroy the nation. the Southern De-
mocracy and their subservient North
ern allies enter into a reasonable
joint stock corporation with a per-
petual charter to commit treason so
long as it pays dividends.
Just read-"This provision of the
constitution Cgiving the negro the right
to vote) has been nullified since the
Hayes administration withdrew the
Federal troops from the Southern
States"
For forty years the right to negro
citizens to vote in the South has been
persistently denied and the penalties
provided by the Constitution have
never been enforced.
This over representation which the
South has held for more than a gen.
Grafton, it owes to the Northern Dem
ocrats who have protected the South
ern States from a punishment which
Democrats in general have deemed a
gross infringement upon the sovereign
right of every State TO regulate its
own life and its own affairs"
Read-When the Southern Democra-
cy has supported this amendment and
it is the law of the land, ''the South
can expect no more from Northern
Democrats in resisting the enforce
ment of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. The cry, no force bill.
No negro domination! will fall upon
deaf ears"
And the whole article implies a
pledge to support the South in per-
petual treason in return for the defeat
of the pending amendment.
But the Southern Democracy of to-
day is too wise, and, ! say this Sc
riously, is too good to be thus whee-
died into future crime. Let the dead
past bury its dead. The Southern
States are leading in the ratification
of this resurrection Of life and hope
to all mankind.
Mr.. Bryan may be right in saying
that the Democratic party is Obliged
to ratify the Prohibition amendment
or "fIl a drunkard's grave"
But there is a conscience in the new
Southern Democracy. and so there Is
a sense of honor and of overwhelming
patriotism in the heart of Mr.. Charles
Murphy and of Tammany Hall De-
mocracy. When you need volunteers
for the last ditch to save this country

High Prussian Finance.

According to as reliable reports as can be Sc
cured, Prussian autocrats are going to try little
of their famous chicane upon their own folks, and
we guess that it will work on folks who will stand
for Prussan autocracy. ,..
There is unrest among the plain people OF
Germany and the imperial government has
agreed to reduce prices of food and pay the dif-
ference out of government funds. That is, the
German will subscribe for war loans Then the
government will lower prices to him and pay the
difference out of moneys it got from him.
Then the German gets down on his knees and
worships the kind-hearted government that is al
ways looking after his welfare. 1t looks feasible,
and Prussian.

ALL WARS ARE CRUEL.
Charles Hooper Says Present One
Is Not Unique.

Editor The Washington Herald
Hardened veterans of the civil war
and others who are acquainted with
the conduct of that war, smile when
they hear inexperience and uninformed
men dilate upon the barbarities OF the
present world conflict.
The barbarities and atrocities Of
which we hear are incident to every
: war. OF course they do not always
occur in such numbers ana on so gi-
eantic a scale as in the present con-
| nict, for the reason that few wars IN
history. or perhaps no war at all has
/ been conducted on so gigantic scale
| as the present war.
, But so far as the barbarities them
! selves are concerned. wars are pretty
much all alike. Sherman, who had
! excellent reasons of his own to kno"
what he was talking about. said war
is hell" He referred, mino, not TO the
! present conflict, but to our own clNI

something UNIQUE, bark back to An

Let them recall the notorious Ander-
sonville prison camp-an unsheltereo
enclosure, some thirty acres in extent
| Cunsheltered, though wood srew near
by), that contained 1900 prisoners OF
war at one time, who died by the
thousands of scurvey, dysentery and

as they can, the terrible dead Line
and its attendant horrors. the pol
lIuted camp stream and the wrecks
that were once men huddled together
in abject misery.
