DEAD SHOTS IN CONGRESS
Two Marksmen Who Would Shine In
Any Company Are Natives of
Arkansas and Arizona.

If all the members and officers of the
house and senate were drafted for
service on the firing lines in France,
there would be two veterans who
would prove themselves to be the
equal of most marksmen of France or
England or any other country. The
Washington Post says there are very
few good shots in either house of con-
gress, 1t is said, and no member Of
either body can compare with Jerry
South of Arkansas, chief clerk of the
house of representatives, as a rifle
shot. Mr.. South was known in Arkan-
sas as the best shot in that part of
the country in his younger days, and
ne is still there with the eye. The
other man under the dome is Senator
Mark Smith of Arizona.
1t is very difficult thing to put FIVE
shots in a silver dollar at hundred
yards, yet Jerry South has done it a
dozen times. Senator Smith has tried,
he said, five thousand times, perhaps,
to do the same thing, but the best he
mas CNSi NohC was " p4dLil LouA SINUS
Always one would go outside or cling
to the outer edge of the dollar. He at
tributed his failure TO imperfection Of
powder or shell, or the within of the
wind. The senator said he had even
tried placing a rife in a wise and see
ing that nothing moved the gun, but
Invariably one shot would fail of its
mark. The old Mills rifie-a muzzle
loader-which was used in the early
days of the war and afterward by
many hunters, was the best rifle ever
invented, according to Senator Smith.

REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
Younaster Asked God to Send Nice
Cool Rain and a DeIuge Flooded
Fields of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest.
For weeks and months we had no
rain. relates q writer in the Country
Gentleman. Every day big, promising
looking clouds rolled up, broke apart
and drifted away. Streams were dried
up, vegetation was burning up and life
was well-nigh unbearable to man and
beast From IL to IS inches Of sand
and dust covered the highways; gnats
made life hideous; heat parched our
skin and throats. Rain was the only
relief, and rain we did not get. Every
night at bedtime four-year-old Robert
on Bonded knees by his little white bed
asked God: "Please don't forget to
send a nice. cool rain"
One day the big. black clouds rolled
up as usual, but we noticed that they
we're all fringed with green. Pretty
soon big wind sprang up and leveled
small houses and barns. broke down
trees, scattered chickens. ducks. straw
and haystacks all over the country. A
big hail followed the wind. al 4 then
came rama perfect deluge! Streams
rose clear out Of their banks and the
water came creeping over the fields
and toward the houses and cattle
pens; pretty soon it had flooded the
yard and was nearly to the door,
Small Robert took a survey of the
situation, ard then in a small, fright
ened voice said: DADDY. don't blame
It all on me. God had ought to knowed
A small kid like me didn't need such Q

EDITORIAL
NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

II must have occurred to great
many people, in reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient methods adopt.
ed by the government authorities in
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
30 far has been against an officer OF
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he could not do
Justice to himself or his men in lead
ing them against-his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri-
can lives and property is given
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an embezzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly interned In
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are unfolding the
Stars and Stripes in No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate. The country is
at war and war is not "civil" matter.
A man who conspires to place bomb
In an American troop-ship or vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
allies Is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law Let's order out the firing
