1T IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE

We have lived a good many years,
have studied the history Of our coun-
try and that Of other nations as best
we could. j. all this experience we
have never yet cen the time when the
American people were not to a more
or less degree disconnected with the
order Of their society There was
something out Of Joint to be set right;
abuses that had TO be corrected by
law and public sentiment; worn out
methods Of living together that had
to be replaced by better methods.
There seems TO be a proneness to evil
on the part Of organized community
life that is constantly asserting itself.
Why is this d? Why shouldn't there be
a proneness to good just as strong? is
repeatedly asked The fact remains,
however, that the universal individu-
al selfshness is constantly at work to
take advantage of the forces of socie-
ty for the promotion Of its own de-
sires and purposes. So, if we have
good living conditions in a material or
moral sense we have to work for them.
1t is the same as it is on the farm. If
we have wheat, corn or other grain
in place of worthless weeds. we must
labor strenuously to cultivate the one
and keep down the other.
Mankind viii never see the day when
the good things Of life will grow
spontaneously. And so it is with the
liberties we enjoy under a democratic
government. Washington told us at
the beginning that Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" Just the same
is : the price of any good thing. Life
and health raust be striven for. Dis
ease and death naturally follow mac
tion.--Governor Hoard.

WAR A MIGHTY LEvELER


Wearing the uniform of their coun-
try's army are the sons of three pres
idents-Cleveland, Roosevelt and Taft.
The last to enter was the only son of
the idol of the democratic party.
What held him back until now was
his age Richard Folsom Cleveland
is today a private in the marines c.
P. Taft H. entered as private in the
infantry, is a sergeant major on Flan-
der's fields. OF the three sons Of
Roosevelt who are on the fighting
line, two have been decorated for brav-
cry, one dying in action as an aviator
What an inspiration there is in
this sight" exelaims the Armco Bulle-
tin of Middletown, Ohio. "Sons of
Presidents and sons of day laborers
stepping together in the same file
drinking from the same canteen and
sharing the same lowly bed Vehicle
for sorrow, misery. suffering and
death, war is yet the great Ieyeler, a
mighty teacher of true brotherhood.

SAVING AND LENDING

The British food ministry says that
from July, 1917, to April, 1918, the
United States exported to the Allies
S0,OO0,O00 bushels Of wheat products.
OF this it IS asserted that 50,00O,OO0
bushels represented voluntary saeri-
fees by the American people in their
consumption Of wheat
There is a triple economy, q triple
aspect to this saving of wheat. II
saved wheat for our Army and the
armies of our allies; il saved money to
the American peopA, and for the most
part this money went for the pur-
chase of government war securities
There is another saving still; this
sort of sacrifice and economy is help
ing win the war-shorten the war
with the resultant saving Of soldiers
lives.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S WARMING

"This war. is one Of nations-not
one of armies-and all our one hun
dred million people must be economi-
cally and industrially adjusted to war
conditions if this nation is to play
its full part in the conflict. The prob
lem before US is not, primarily,a fnan-
cial problem, but rather problem of
increased production of war essentials
and the saving Of the materials and
the labor necessary for the support
and equipment Of our army and our
navy. Thoughtless. expenditure of
money for nonessentials uses up the
labor Of men,the product of the farms,
the mines and factories, and over
burdens transportation. all Of which
must be used to the utmost aid at
their best for war purposes"

GERMANY MUST BE DESTROYED

More than 1900 years ago. Rome and Car
thage quarreled and fought to be mistress of
the seas, England and Germany today.
Cartharge was very aggressive and Rome be-
ing unable to restrain her, Cato proclaimed
in the senate "delenda est Carthage"-Car-
image should be destrOyed-whieh resulted in
the third Punic war.
In January 1917, President Wilson APP
pealed for peace without victory-whieh our
government opposes now-and last January
in his kindly way he asserted I'VE have no
quarrel with the German people but with their
rulers" But events since then show we were
as slow TO realize future danger as the
Athenians were in listening to Dsmosthenes
or the Romans in delaying the destruction Of
Carthage. Those of who were slow, in
Guiding Congressman, should now be bold
enough TO say -Delenda est Germania. Der
lin or Bust is one way of saying Germany
must be destroyed. W. L. BUTT.
