right in his statement that Camp

A CASE OF CATHOLIC COMPETITION.

Grinrell needed a modern hospital

LIQUOR AND CAMP DODGE.

In a Sioux City address, before the
Rotarians. Governor Harding told them
that we had more chocolates, ciXarets
and monographs than guns In some of
the camps for soldiers. We trust that
that Is not true Of the camp which lies
under the shadow Of the state capitol
at Des Moines. One Of the Des Moines
papers seems mad about Il and makes
the counter attack that the governor
has not done his share to KEEP liquors
out. Are we to infer from that that
there IS a prevalence OF liquors in Des
Mo!nes to which the soldiers have ac-
cess. II that Is the case why has not
that Dies Moines paper been more
strenuous IN its exposures and why
does Il not urge the city government
Of Des Moines TO have a cleaning up.
The paper takes occasion to rap the
governor--it Is always rapp!ng him

THE CROSS ROADS.


One thing must have been evident to
all who heard the speakers sent out
! by the United States food administra-
! ton and that is that we are at the
forks OF tn. road
Which way are we going to turn?
Are we 70 take the road OF actual
and rigid conservation OF wheat and
meats and fats or try to bolt or sneak
off down the SIDE lanes?
This much we all know: That the
! government administration OF wheat
and meats a~d fats has taken It's steps
cautiously. that 1t has tried and tried
hard TO induce us TO take the right
turning rom patriotic impulses and
has endea ORE 20 avoid the exercise
o. arhtrary cover. And another thing
is plain: We are either to take the
RICH. road BY our own Initiative and
inclination CT we are 20 be he-ded In
10 it.
Let Us no, mistake or imagine that
the steel IS not beneath the velvet
glove.
We can avoid arbitrary orders Il we
choose Those Of us who refuse to
heed the p,eacings OF the government
can also II we continue in that course
close individual liberty to buy food
stuffs on our own honor az with an
iron door.
Where lies the difficulty? In this
community it lies the homes.
Long ago the hotels and restaurants
fell n with the suggestions OF the gov
eminent. They have generally done
their duty. The dealers all over the
county have set their faces for con-
servation, not only because OF string
emit rules laid down but also because
of a patriotic desire to serve in this
war even al q sacrifice. The lack OF
conservation. the denial OF obligation
and responsibility is In the homes and
the Kitchens and on the tables OF
Marshall county homes. Those who
are thus guilty know their own guilt.
And that guilt from the guilt OF care
lessness or lack Of determination IS
likely to become q blood outlines.
For those who refuse to deny them
selves as requested pro!ong the war
they force fgl,ting men to fight long
or they shall be responsible for death
lists. for starvation And on such Oh
them as have hearts and consciences
not utterly sut ordinated TO their s1odh-
achs, some day will rest like dark
cloud the realization Of their own
treachery, for II is treachery TO our own
men. to our allies, to starving enid
rem and 20 the principles OF democracy
OF which we speak in swelling terms
from our platforms, boast standing in
our synaeogues, and deny in our
Kitchens.
