LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR.
A DENOMINATION
By John Kendrick Bangs.

A DEMONSTRATION.
The things that helps us most to meet
A prospect clouded by defeat
Is Courage. and the Kings or Clods
who've won the fight 'gainst fearful
odds
Are those who've kept their Courage
true
The Blacklist, fercest battles through.
And Courage. it is very clear.
Is just the opposite OF Fear.
And what is that, my Friend, but
Cheer?
So cheerful be whate'er betide
And 'mongst the Victors you shall
ride.

Herald, several State delegations
have talked over the subject. There
is grim determination among
people in several different sections
to see that citizens suspected of
German leanings will not have an
opportunity to vote their express
sions.
This is as It should be. None
but Americans should have Amer
lean rights.
The exercise OF discression and
care next year. along with an abun-
dant exercise of patriotism, will
7 leave the settlement of American
! questions to Americans. and will
prevent those interesting them
selves in our affairs whose sympa-
thies are with other governments.
and whose ideals are not of Amer
lean source.
Those who opposed the Smith
| news-print paper bill yesterday did
so from the belief that recent agree
! ment between publishers and man
! ufacturers as to paper rates and
| recent termination of dissolution
suits had brought on, or would
! for publishers.
Moreover, the, opponents of the
Smith measure believed that the
Federal Trade Commission Is bur-
dened with enough duties just now
to occupy its entire time. Assump-
! tion of the enormous duty OF run
/ ming the print paper business would
detract from other problems. and
in the end might gain little or moth
ing over the present agreed price

Government ownership Of print
paper mills is not a panacea neces-
| sarily for the ills of the trade. Nor
is government operation. The new
situation in the private ownership
| field may not bring all the desired
results. but it may bring enough
good results so that none will
worry il government ownership in
this line is given up for the time
| being.

Under the protection of the low lying

and inspected the ground where the ac'

had suffered some casualties was evi'

returned they brought back a blood
