We wonder what our government
will do with the employees arrested
a few days ago charged with sub
stituting lead for steel in the vital
parts Of aeroplanes being construct
ed for war uses in Europe? 1t has
been the rule heretofore to give
these cold-blooded assassins from
three to eighteen months in the pen
itentiary. Can we hope to stamp
out plotters and conspirators by Civ
ing them such light sentences when
the penalty for lesser crimes in
other countries is death? The man
who plots against the government at
the present time is more to be
dreaded than the midnight assassin
who steals into another's home and
commits murder. and we know how
the laws of our country deal with
the murderer. Why is it the law
protects one and Furnishes the other?

crossed in the problems arising out
of the great struggle across the
water that they have little time to
devote to politics or politicians. Our
opinion is the state campaign will
be pretty tame affair. The news
papers have done more than any
other one agency to keep campaigns
alive, but the demand for space for
more important matters matters
in which the people are more vitally
Interested crowd out the re-
ports of the meetings and the can
didates themselves will not be able
to arouse and hold the interest of
the masses. Not only will this be
true of the state and county cam
paigns, but the stirring times in
which we are living will have their
effect on national politics, and if the
war lasts that long the next presi-
Dental campaign will be listless
and Indifferent sort of affair. The
energies and efforts of the nation are
centered ON winning the war and
the man who hopes to ride into Of
fce by the old methods of appealing
to prejudices and passions will find
that "times have changed"

NO SIGNS or EARLY PEACE.

The news from the front for the
The German advance has been check
ed, but the Teuton has yielded very
little conquered territory
In many quarters the opinion is
advanced that last weeks battle was
the beginning of the end-that Ger
many had staked her all on this
great drive and lost-that it was the
Gettysburg of the worldwide war
This may be true. Lee staked his
all when he threw legions of soldiers
against Meades lines at Gettysburg
and for a while the fortunes of the
republic hung in the balance. II
Pickett's charge had been success
full the history of this great nation
would have been written along die
ferent lines.
But although Lee was repulsed he
was not beaten. With the remnant
of a ragged army he fell back toward
Richmond and it was months after
wards before he surrendered.
While history may be repeating
itself in the German drive, still il
must be borne in mind tha. a vast
difference exists between the half
starved and poorly equipped soldiers
OF the Confederacy and the well-fed
and splendidly equipped soldiers of
the German army. And then too it
must be remembered that while the
Confederacy went into the fight
without preparation the German en-
pire went into battle with the great
est military organization the world
has ever known. J.
Ii the Confederacy in its impover-
ished condition held the Union army
at bay for twelve months following
the defeat at Gettysburg how much
longer can the German army with its
superior training and equipment
hold IN. Allies at bay?
The indications are that we are IN
for Il long and stubborn ngh,. The
German Is a man OF one idea l. L.
charAc, ,cristic OF The race. The
idea that h" is invinciDlc has been
drilled into him by military masters
while on the other hand he has been
led 10 believe that Germany must
conquer or vanish as Il nation
This means that he will night Ill
the last and it is not unlikely that
the whole German empire will have
to be subdued before it achnowl-
edges defeat
IT is quite likely that the great
sin in few days and the German
army will be driven back beyond its
old lines The press dispatches will
carry encouraging news Of recon
quered territory but this will not
mean that victory is anywhere nc<I
at hand That the Allies viii triumph
in the end is not to be doubted, but
it will take months and probably
years to win victory that Will near
a lasting peace.
Notwithstanding the encouragina
reports that will be received from
time to time the people should moi
relax in their efforts to aid the
armies at the front. 1t will take the
combined efforts OF the man power

New York, Dec. 16.-To stimulate public interest in the pressing prob

 measures, the National Security league announces that it has taken the first steps in the organization of a nationwide system of National Se- curity Community Forums" Bodies of wide-awake citizens in cities and towns, large and small, throughout the country will be gathered together . by the league much on the plan of the Iyceums weu-known in rural dis; tricts. The league will perfect the or ~anization of the forums" through

 The attention of the forums" will first be directed toward a discussion of the seven basic postwar activities of the National Security league, as set forth in the recent announcement of the reorganization of the leagues work, viz;
 Leagues Plans.

 These tablets are wonder.workers on the liver and bowels, which cause normal action, carrying off the waste and poison. ous matter in ones system.

 ''Wc would wish that these 25 men would rally 25 times their number but they alone could work wonders in their respective fields.
 'The league will do it's best to fur nish the literature and other help to carry out this suggestion. What is the situation in your community and among your thoughtful men? May l ask that you will give this letter your careful attention from the stand point of advancing the interest of the league in it's work and of en1arging the membership of the league.
 ''Seething Groups.
