The War Ended.

The greatest war that eVei
cursed the world has ended. In
augurated by the Kaiser of Ger
m,nv, for the purpose oil dt-
stroying the liberties of the peo-
pie of the civilized world, and
conducted with savage cruelty
that has never been equaled, its
end has brought JOY to millions.
Tue result is satisfactory to
.arly every nation Of the earth.
and, is especially pleasing to the
people of the United States.
With this government it was
strictly a war of self defence.
The United States made every
possible effort to remain neutral.
1t submitted to gross OUT
ra ges, and refused to enter into
war, until it became evident that
it was either war or sub Miss on
t. a brutal tyrant who was pre-
pared to destroy us, If lie deemed
it necessary to succeed i'll his
scheme for world domination.
The United States is a peaceful
nation. They enjoy fully the
liberty which is theirs. They
do not aspire to increase de-
minion. Their sole ambition is
to be let alone. The Kaiser,
however, preaching the doctrine
that "migl is right" had form
ed his plans to render America
snbservient to his will. He did
not hesitate to destroy our men.
women and little children.
Fortunate for merica, the
head of the nation and the
supreme commander of the army
was equal to the occasion. When
he was forced to strike he did it
with the power of the American
people. While lie was a demo-
cratic president, he was patri-
otically supported by the best
elements of the republican party
A few men who are ever ready
to substitute party for country
and partisanship for patriotism
were ready to embarraSs his adj.
ministration, but they were so
few III number and so weak in
influence that their efforts were
puerile. President Wilson prov
ed to be the right man i'll the
right place at the right time. He
plainly gave the Kaiser to un-
derstaud what lie proposed to do
and he did it. Victory reward
ed his efforts and to-day Presi-
dent Wilson occupies not only
the position of the greatest Presi-
dent of the United States, but
his name is honored throughout
the civilized world.
He was great in time Of war;
and he is great in the hour OF
victory While lie would punish
those guilty Of savage outrages,
his sympathy extends to the
German people. and lie is dis
posed to exercise patience ard
great magnanimity ia securing
for them government by tie |
people.

The Zone System of Postage

The Zone System of Postage
This paper has never taken
much stock in the abuse or the
ridicule of Congress and our
state legislatures in which many
newspaper paragraphers and
humorists seem so much to de-
light. 1t is unfortunately trre
that we are often unwise enoue h
to send to our state and national !
capitols to make laws for us men
who are by nc means qualified
for that important duty, but as
4 rule the members of both houses
of Congress are men of character
and ability. 1t would speak little
for the intelligence of the voters
Of America if they were not.
At the same time it is neces-
sary to recognize that our law
makers sometimes make bad
laws. They are much like the
rest of us and no uearer infallible
Now and then they pass law
that is worse than mistake
that is blunder or positive
crime. One such law was that
esta blislling a zone system OF
postage rates for second-clasS
mail matter-that is, for all
periodicals-which was passed
last winter.
This Zone system has been in
operation now since the first Of
July and it has been abundantly
demonstrated in that time that
it is not only foolish law, but
that 1t belongs to the class Of
darn fool" laws. 1t is taxing
the periodical heavily, adding to
the labors and troubles of post
masters and mail clerks and add
ing little to the revenues of the
government. Passed with the
avowed purpose of reaching Ger
tain large publishing houses that
were supposed to be profting
greatly by low postage rates, it
has, as was to be expected, hurt
these great concerns much less
than the smaller papers that
were already Struggling to live.
It is not much to say that it
makes practically impossible the
publication at reasonable price |
of a paper with small and WIDE
ly scattered circulation, unless
that paper is able to obtain large |!
amounts of advertising at a hig Ii
rate.
A letter just received from the
of a local paper in
