THE GREAT DUTY.

AS we go about our daily tasks in
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battlefields Of Europe
to save civilization. Our own gallant
soldiers are shedding their blood in
France and our sailors engulfed in
the waters of the Atlantic as they go
in defense of Americas rights and
honor
Upon our performance Of the work
committed to us depend the lives of
thousands of men and women, the
fate of many nations, the preservation
Of civilization and humanity itself;
and the more efficient and prompt
we people of America are in doing
our part, the more quickly will this
war come to an end and the greater
the number of our soldirs and sailors
who will be saved from death and
suffering, and the greater the number
of people of other nations released
from bondage.
To work, to save, to economic, to
give financial support to the govern
ment is duty Of the Nation and to the
world, and it is especially duty to
our fighting men who on land and
sea are Offering their lives for their
country and their countrymen.

State Treasurer Hoyt is meeting
with cordial endorsement from Re
publicans of Iowa in his canvass for
the nomination for the office he now
holds. Although of different polit-
zeal faith, The Democrat cannot re-
train from recommending a man we
have known for years and whom we
know will give the people of Iowa
faithful and efficient service. In
state house circles at Des Moines it
is said that his appointment is the
most popular one to the credit of
Governor Harding's administration.
Mr.. Hoyt was elected to the state leg
islature from this senatorial district
and served with marked ability. In
his present canvass he will have
solid support in this section, and If
nominated will roll up record vote

LINCOLN ON WAR POWERS.

ri am unable" said Lincoln in
1868, to appreciate the danger appre-
hended that the American people will,
by means of military arrests during
the Rebellion, lose the right of public
discussion, the liberty of speech and
the press, the laws of evidence, trial
by jury, and habeas corpus, through
out the indefinite peaceful future
which I trust lies before them, any
more than am able to believe that
q man could contract so strong an ap-
petite for emetics during temporary
illness as to persist in feeding upon
them during the remainder of his
hea1thful life." Hamilton had ex-
pressed himself to the same effect in
the Federalist "The idea of restrain
ing the legislative authority" he
wrote Gin the means of providing for
national defense is one Of the refine
ments which owe their origin to a
zeal for liberty more ardent than en-
lightened."

Charles Livingston, who was for
merly employed as clothing sales
man in Manchester, was in this vi
cinity on business last week. He now
lives in Chicago, and has a responsible
position as road salesman with the
well known Hirsch-Wickwire Cloth
ing company. Mr.. Livingston's terri
tory embraces ten north central
states, from Ohio to Colorado and the
Canadian line In conversation with
us he said that in the several years
he had covered this territory for his
house he had found Iowa the best
for his business. Various conditions,
he said, effect business in other states
and the volume of sales varied greatly
but that Iowa gould always be relied
upon for its regular average business.
He said, from the standpoint of
salesman, it was the most satisfac-
tory state to work in, because he was
never disappointed in his business
and could in fact approximately esti-
mate the volume of sales in advance
of trip. What Mr.. Livingstone's ex-
perience is in the clothing business
is undoubtedly true in almost every
other line. Iowa is little effected by
money panics; its prosperity is per-
because it is anchored to the
soil. 1t is, in fact, the steadiest state
in the Union

In their system of warfare the Ger
mans attach considerable importance
to the spreading of terror in the ranks
of their opponents. In other words,
their attacks are always accompan-
led by preliminary propaganda OF
what is here commonly called bluff.
If there is anything in the world the
ordinary American likes to do it is
to call bluff. We feel sorry for the
German who thinks he can pull a
scare on the American soldier.

the cooperation of all the city Y. NJ.

made talks to the men on the troop
trains, giving them in advance some
thing of the story of the Y. NJ G. A.
