rental sacrifices, but II new banner
should one day be hung In windows
here and there with star meaning
son is given" It would be not flag
of sacrifice but still II flag of service
and honor.
Let us save the children, then, even
if the task he carried on humbly, pa
tiently, unostentatiously. All we own,
and wear, and are, all that Is the outer
husll of us, all that is the inner kernel,
is being tested in these days. 1t Is as
If there We're universal "wash" and
only the fast colors" in life and char
acter We're coming out clear and true.
In air this the mothers and the fa-
theirs, the preachers and the teachers
are great factor. 1t Is the children
who are the seed corn of the future !;
it Is the boys and girls of today that
will have to endure the terrible re
actions of this war and settle the prob
lens that will veX us for years after
peace is formally declared. Every man
or woman who lends his money to the
government in this crisis protects the
future of his children; makes it more
certain that America will never re
pudiate its debts, but pay them us it
did after the Civil war, with speed
that gained the worlds applause.
All Put Shoulders to Wheel.
The children are a definite factor in
all our campaigns nowadays. Boy
Scouts, Junior Guards, Camp Fire
Girls, school children, have all put
their shoulders to the wheel and in be-
ing an active part of the movement
have grown in wisdom and understands
ing, self-denial and right use of their
slender powers. These are our own
American children, for the most part
sheltered, not always indeed from spov-
erty, but at least from more terrible
evils. Whenever | buy bonds or War
Saving stamps or subscribe to the doZ-
en- and one causes forever knocking at
the door, | long to give more and more
because of the lives of women and chill
dren across the seas, innocent lives
sacrificed to the relentless war god
mothers, potential and actual-the
mothers who would have replenished
the standing armies of the world-and
blameless little children who were the
hope of the future.
Then let us work, sacrifice, give, in
memory of their sufferings and the un-
speakable anguish in which they
groped and bled and starved to death.
l do not speak of repaying slaughter
with slaughter is the
Lords part-I speak of giving as if we
were laying "sprig of rosemary for
remembrance" on those hundreds of
little pitiful, uncOftined bodies. that
their more fortunate brothers and sis
ters may be saved, fed, clothed shell
tered and educated.
Whoever loves child loves his coun-
try; whoever helps "A child helds a
stake in the future of his country !;
whoever saves child sits op the seat
with the builders of cities and the
prophets of lasting peace.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-09-14

Instead of better and the result would
inevitable result of this war will be n
pruning of capitalistic tyranny and Il
healthy invasion of socialism from the
top, to say nothing of the general
awakening and desire for the better
ment of mankind, which will remove so
many of the proletariat grievances that
they will not have half Il leg to stand
on. 1t is Il pity it could not come
sooner. but history is history; our war
did not come until it was due. More
over, people, particularly when mod
erately successful, never rouse them
selves to reform until they have re-
ceived severe jolt
That, however, is for the future, and
there is only one way to deal with
the present problem; eXtermnate it.
When careless farmer has permitted
his fields to be invaded by gophcrs,
rats, rattlesnakes and other vermin, he
cannot afford to sit down and reproach
himself and invent excuses for the
invaders he makes Il clean sweep and
kills them off, sweeps away the
formidable menace to his prosperity.
Then, wiser man. he takes measures
to keep his fields and granaries free
of vermin in the future, and watches
increasingly. But he eXtermnates first.
One Glass Without Friends.
To reason with an l. W.. w. would
profit as much us to reason with a
rattlesnake, charged with poison and
waiting its opportunity to strike. In
the first place, what brains these out
laws ever had not only have deteri-
grated with class hatred. but they
never would have been l. w. W's, If
they had had shred of natural abil-
ity, or We're not too lazy to work.
They must be got rid of, root and
branch. The leaders should either be
executed or shut up in asylums for the
criminally insane, and the rest either
deported or punished.
AS for the American Liberals who
are trying to raise fund to defend
these outcasts. no censure is too harsh
for them. They are either German
agents, cowardly pacifists, or little
groups of would-be "intcllectuals," who
long to be thought academic, detached,
remote from the vulgar passions that
govern mankind in time Of war. Well,
that is the point. We happen to be at
war. An attitude that no one would
quarrel with in times of peace, for we
are quite willing to let tnadequately
gifted men and women win little
prominence in whatever way they can,
when all are living for themselves;
they come under the head of menaces
or pests when the entire country
should be united in single purpose
No doubt the government will get
round to them in time, but if it does
not there is an. ever worse punishment
in store for them, the contempt of
their fellow citizens. They will be
outlanders, forced to endure the So
ciety of one another to the last of
their days. In other words, they will
be boycotted. Perhaps they would
prefer the word verboten.

We cannot, very handily, entertain
the Atlantic aeet in otter Creek, but
our heart does go out TO the 2b,OOO
sailor boys who reached New YORK
yesterday after sharing with the British
lack .tars countless nights Of vigil In
the North Sea. The blue-jackets hav"
had a little less acclaim than the dough-
boys or marines, but they have done
their big "bitN in big way. Witness
the letter from Rutland boy, James
Moriarty, yesterday, who tells how
he had part in planting no less than
100, 900 mines or pills, some OF which
must have helped to knock out thu Huns
He writes:
1--WE have laid these mines from the
coast of Norway to the shores OF Scot
land. have worked for 20 hours at
time. 1t sure means work. All you
have on is shirt and pair of trousers
You plant them just like potatoes in
garden. There is one dropped of every
nine seconds in three rams We only
laid l00,0 900, that's all.
Some of the mines would go OIL
pretty close to the ship. ! only wish
you could have seen the bunch when the
first mine went off on June 6, 1918 at
a. m. Everybody on deck where ] was
gave one look at each other and said,
well, if it hits us, we will never know
about it, but we might get star If we
are fast enough to grab it on our way,

The Point of View

Children should be seen and not
heard"
According to grandmother view,
But if grandmother were living how
She'd be due for painful revision Of
ides,
And their voices may be heard
Even amid the great silences.
II there is any waiting to be done
anywhere,
1t is not the children who do it.
Youth has its fling and it filings things
right and left =
When affairs don't go to suit it.
1t is happiest when it is stirling things
T, up
And the saddest when tired nature
demands,
That it take a little sleep preparatory
To the next days battles,
And sometimes an adult who was once
just as tough"
AS any child he knows,
Longs to lay his hands on an old
fashioned
Thick, black razor strap,
And in all tenderness and with much
kindness
As well as great satisfaction,
Apply it to the child that dominates
His favorite household.
And then he harks back to his own
wild youth
And coughs and looks suspiciously
around
And goes on with his reading.
Wilbur E. Sutton, in The Matt
onal Republican.

Two Lawyers
lFrom the Rutland neraldl

Two lawyers are candidates for the
supposedly empty honor OF being
president pro TEN of The Senate at
Montpelier, Senator Villas of Bur
lington and Senator-elect LaFleur Of
Middlebury. Both are excellent citi-
zens, with legislative experience, but,
with no other candidate in the field,
it means that these two lawyers will
name the Senate's committee in con-
junction with Lieutenant governor
elect Mason S. Stone, and, if they de-
sire to out-vote Mr.. Stone, they can
do so.
This will occur by virtue of the ira
dition of senatorial courtesy, by which,
when there are two Candidates for presi-
dent pro tenn, one is elected and one
is nominated to be the third member
Of the committee that chooses the
senatorial committees.
Without undertaking to question in
any degree the ability OF Messrs. Villas
and LaFleur to fill the position of
president pro tempore, isn't it about
time for the senators to pick out a
good layman for such position:

NOT REALLY NEW
Modern Comforts Well Known 10
the AnOient0.
Running Water In Houses, for In
stance, Was a Luxury Enjoyed BY
Both the Roman and Early
Egyptian Civilizations,

Many of the so-called modern i'm
provements" Of civilization, which so
largely contribute 10 the comfort OF
living, are by no means so recent In
origin as we are disposed 10 imagine,
An eminent archeOloglst has recent
ly declared, for example that Ner0's
palace In Rome had three elevators.
II Is true that those elevators must
have Seen hoistlng machines Of very
primitive pattern-Operated presum'
ably by man power with the help Of
rope and counter welght-and II Is
more than doubtful that they were
ever used 10 carry human freight, Few
palaces or other buildings IN ancient
Rome were more than two stories In
height, and passenger lifts were for
that reason not needed
We are accustomed 10 think OF run,
ming water In houses rs modern lux.
ury. New York city did not have II
until l776, when reservoir was con.
structed east OF Broadway, into which
water was raised by pumping II from
wells dug for the purpose. But that
was a very primitive arrangement
compared with the system Of ancient
Rome, by which water was brought
from great distances In aQueducts that
were maryels OF engineering and that
emptled through lead pipes Into thou
sands OF tanks Of hewn stone.
Erected at intervals along the streets
OF Pompeil were pillars OF masonry,
up which ran lead pipes; and on top
Of each pillar was Il tank, from which
water was distributed by pipes to the
houses. All dwellings except those Of
the very poor, were thus supplied, and
some had nearly score OF faucets,
controlled by stopcocks that were
much like those that IRE In use today
At many street corners there were
fountains with stone basins, the edges
of which even how show depressions
worn by the hands Of the people who
leaned over TO drink. Those fountains
were fed by the city water, which was
brought by an aqueduct from a distant
place ~ elevated that the head" was
very powerful, That kind Of engineer
ing was highly developed In those
times, When julius Caesar first Wis.,
tied Alexandria in Egypt he found
there so complete an underground
water supply system that the city
seemed hollow underneath
In the year 73 b. c., julius Caesar
organized the fire department of Rome
II had force Of 600 men. At that
time primitive fire engine had al
ready come into use; It was pair Of
pumps worked by beam, and the two
streams united in a common discharge
pipe and passed out through nozzle
that could be turned in any direction.
"Siphons'--emergency fire eXtinguish-
ers-were commonly kept in houses.
Frequent mention Is made OF them in
ancient literature but we do not know
what they were like-YOuth's Com
panion.

Lafe's Tribute.

AS We reached certain smooth
road, along which travel daily many
ammunition wagons, we met a mule
skinner walking. He was going in the
direction of certain military grave
yard, where are buried Americans and
French and Germans, Senegalese and
Moroccans and Christians
and Mohammedans, Over the mule
skinners right arm hung French
wreath. With his left hand he was
leading sullen looking mule. AS we
were about to pass him our engine
died. W got out to crank up and
the mule skinner stopped to watch and
talk to us. Meantime an NJ p. strolled
down.

"Well," replied LATE, with a hitch at

Aid to TranspIantinu.

Transplanting Towering and vege-.
table plants is now greatly facilitated
by the use of paper flower pots which
are nothing more or less than the ia
miliar paper drinking cups. For use
In the farm and garden these cups
are perforated and the seedlings are
grown in them in the nursery. When
II comes time to put the delicate plants
out in the open they are transferred
bodily, pots and all, and placed in the
ground. The transfer is attended by
no shock whatever, which is rarely
the case when the roots are disturbed
during the operation as when removing
them from the little pots of clay which
are generally used for this purpose.
The perforations enable the rootlets
to find their way beyond the limits Of
the pot, and so the paper does not in
terfere with their growth.

All Wanted a Chance.

/ was sitting on the porch one day
reading and much interested in my
book. OF a sudden l became aware
Of the fact that the little boy down
stairs had been drumming and singing
at the top of his voice for some time.
I listened He sang, Turn to the left,
boys, turn to the left" over and over
again until l wished he would change
It and sing something else. Evidently
the little boy two doors away wished
the same thing, for he called out, For
goodness sake Danny, turn to the
right Exchange.

Those who have heard him talk to the

belief in the principles for which the
order stands and his desire to have
those principles exemplfed by the
membership. His successor, o. L. Mar
