DON'T START THE FURNACE YET.

The United States Fuel Administra-
ton urges the people to save coal by
not using it Immediately in home fur
naces. individuals are asked to do
with less and one way is to defer the
starting of the winter fires.
The delay need not be a hardship.
We have not TO consider that we
shall be keeping our homes more
nearly at the temperatures habitually
maintained in English homes though
all homes in Europ now have al
most no fires except in the kitchen.
Delay in starting our furnaces will
put many tons of coal into the bunk
ers of ships that are to carry men
and supplies overseas; 1t will give to
the factories turning out those sup
plies more fuel to keep going Re-
member that even though coal pro-
duction in America is bringing forth
more millions of tons than ever in
the worlds history, the needs Of the
army are growing in startling ratio.
Pershing's cry is for shells that the
lives of our men need not be wasted.
Coal is needed to produce these shells.
If you must have a furnace fire to
take the chill off the house use up
the old wood. accomplished magazines,
newspapers. Spare the coal pile.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The democrats, without exception,
in both houses of congress- in 1898,
declared against the war with Agui-
naldo.
Mr.. Bryan made so-called "Imper-
ialism" the issue in that year and in
his own campaign for the presidency
in 1900.
That was the issue If democratic
congress won the president would be
compelled to haul down the flag in
the Philippines. just as Grover Cleye-
land had hauled down the flag in the
Hawaiian islands.
That was the issue on which Colonel
Roosevelt and former president Benja-
min Harrison were speaking. The eff
fort to make the country believe it was
an appeal in the Spanish American
war will get the democratic state CEN
trail state convention nowhere, except
toward inevitable defeat,
The issue this year is whether
Hitchcock and other democrats like
him shall remain at the head of the
great committees of the senate and
whether Kitchin shall continue to adj
vocate pacifism as leader of the lower
house. .
No man in either house of congress
has done so much to embarrass the
administration

THE BULLET OR THE AK
BY MAX EHRMANN.

] do not know what fashions of art,
science and philosophy may be in
vogue in future times. But this l
know; Nowhere will nation cringe
before a mailman, such as the kaiser,
who has made of the earth a grave
yard and funeral pail of the soul
He is the last of his kind. He is in
comprehensive. He was born of a
good woman, and nursed at her breast.
He was playful in childhood and he
had brothers and sisters. He had all
good things given him, as if the earth
was a fairyland. He grew to manhood,
loved and had children of his own.
He had many beautiful gardens and
stately palaces. He had every wish
gfatified by seventy million souls.
Such a man should have become q
very god of love and gratitude. IN
stead, he turned and cut the breasts
where children drink. He often sat in
quiet woodland palace, and by sig
nature or word sent hundreds of
thousands of men to unspeakable
agony and terrible death, yet he al
ways spared his own sons. He MUIR
dered little children and cut off the
hands of little boys. He tortured in

from their home and transporting
them like cattle to distant lands. He.

PLAYING TO THE HYPHEN.

There is distinct disappointment
over the Interpretation being placed by
the democrats in the senate on the
presidents reply to the peace propos-
ais of Germany.
The claim by prominent democratic
senators is that the purpose of the
president is to prevent the German
people from feeling that they are
called upon to further defend their
country.
An appeal is being made TO the pro-
German vote of Missouri on the
ground that the democrats would deal
more leniently with Germany than
would the republicans and Lodges
strong speech declaring for full repa-
ration for the crimes committed by
Germany is compared with the presi-
dents statement that it is not the
purpose Of the allies to destroy the
German people.
IT is not the purpose of the repub-
licans TO destroy the German people
but it is policy to make the German
people pay for the crimes they have
wrought in Belgium, France and Po-
land.
1t now appears that before the war
has been concluded there is distinct
democratic bid for the hyphen vote
Lincoln's terms to the south were
embodied in the phrase "uncondition-
al surrender" .
Bulgaria surrendered uncondition-
ally. Turkey will do likewise. Be-
cause of a certain vote in America, is
the greatest of all offenders going to
be allowed to make conditions?
If so every drop of blood shed has
been wasted.

A REGULAR MOTHER.

There is plenty of sentiment about
motherhood-but little romance.
Essayists and editors who write
about motherhood with capital M

"profession"
Actual mothers know it is a job.
There are picture mothers-attired
in lacy negligees and bending tenderly
above pink babies in silk lined bas-
