WHILE CROSSING A STREAM"
abraham Lincoln)
(From New York World)

Twenty years ago, when there was
a Republican Administration in pow.
er, and the United States vas at war.
the Republican leaders had positive
and definite. opinions as to the evil
that would necessarily result from a
Republican defeat in the COMPRESSION
al elections and the choice of a Demo
cratic Congress.
Theodore Roosevelt, then a candi-
date for Governor of New York, ex-
pressed the issue in this fashion:
Remember that whether you will
or not, your vote this year will be
viewed by the nations of Europe
from one standpoint only. They
will draw no fine distinctions.
A refusal to sustain the Presi-
dent this year will, in their eyes,
be read as a refusal to sustain
the wa: 4and to sustain the efforts
of our peace commission to Sc
cure the fruits of
Benjamin Harrison, former PFesi-
dent of the United States, was eve
more emphatic:
If the word goes forth that the
people of the United States are
standing solidly behind the Presi-
dent, the task of the peace COM
missioners will be easy, but if there
is a break in the ranks-if the De-
mocrats score a telling victory,
if Democratic Congressman, Sem
ators, and Governors are elected
will see in it a CLEAN of
hope; she will take fresh hope
and a renewal of hostilities, more
war, may be necessary to secure
to us what we have already won.
If these arguments were valid in
1898, they must be a thousand times
valid in 1898 when the fate of the
world rests upon the United States
and it's government. Neither Mr.. Har-
nor Nh. Roosevelt in 1898 raised

A MARVELLOUS PEOPLE

France will be able before July ]
to manufacture enough artillery to
supply twenty American divisions,
or approximately five hundred thou
sand troops if the United States
furnishes the necessary raw mater
ial. According to representatives Of
the French government, now in Ann
erica, the French have $4,000 guns
of every caliber, and every day
more than 100000 shells are turn
ed out by their factories. To get
these guns, to produce these shells,
the French government created an
industry which did not exist before
the war and which has enabled the
French general staff not only to arm
their own soldiers, but also to arm
their allies.
The French have, during the past
three months, given to their allies
in Europe 1,350,00O rifles, $4,000
automatic rifles, 10000 machine
guns, sOO,0OO,0OO cartridges, $500
guns and 1850 airplahes. France
bleeding France, whose glorious
troops won the three greatest bat
ties in history--is the wonder of the
world today. Field Marshal Hin
denburg is preparing for his great
est drive on the western front. 1t
may be the last desperate drive of
the war on the part of the Kaiser
and his general staff. The predic-
ton is made by General Maurice
one of the most noted of European
military critics-that the drive will
be failure, and that the allied
armies will smash Won Hindenburg
and his legions. Spring is coming,
and the bloodiest battle of the
worlds war is scheduled to take
place before the coming of the ides
of July. Germany is doomed to de-
feat on the Western front. Ger
many has met defeat on the Italian
front. The end is in sight.

APPRECIATE COMFORT KITS

Every American woman who has
helped to pack a Red Cross comfort
kit will be interested to read the
contents of a recent cablegram re-
ceived at Red Cross headquarters,
Washington, from Maj. James II.
Perkins, American Red Cross Com
missioner to Europe.
It was as follows:
EVERY American soldier now en-
tering the trenches carries an
American Red Cross comfort kit
containing towel, shirt, writing pa
per, pencil, soap, handkerchief,
socks, mirror and tobacco. The
number of kits cannot be stated,
but the fact that every soldier has
one means that the work done by
American women is big comfort
to the soldiers now on the firing line.
This fact should be a solace to the
American women who have made
them as well as to the soldiers.

tobacco"

NEW MANAGEMENT
FOR THEATRE

Messrs. Lewis Judy and Marvin
Gay, who recently relinquished the
management of The Tabb Theatre
and opened The Liberty picture
house on Main street, have turned
over their lease on the latter place,
together with film contracts, to
Mr.. j. r. Miller. They will assist
Mr.. Miller for a time until he be-
comes thoroughly acquainted with
the business. The Liberty has been
open two or three nights a week
and it is believed that policy will
be continued. Mr.. Miller owns
the building which houses The
Liberty Theatre and is known as an
astute business man. The same
high-class pictures offered by the
retiring lessees will constitute the
program under Mr.. Miller's direc-
ton.

More and more it becomes evidenl
that if the government is to sue
ceed in enforcing the meatless and
wheatless days and meals there will
have to be some drastic regulations
that will apply directly to the eater.
Hotels and restaurants in all parts
of the country complain that they
are anxious to obey the order to
the letter, they have great trouble
with customers, many of these
growing violently angry and with
drawing their patronage. on
course the fellow who is guilty of
such action is a poor fish at best,
hut then food purveyors can best
not take too close notice of the
moral quality of their patrons
There should be some regulation
that will impress the fact in unmis-
taxable terms on the gormand that
Uncle Sam is going to save that
wheat and meat, and that HE is
going to do his pro rata part in that
saving, We must go after the eat,
