Last Son of Revolution.

Nelson Moore, eighty-one years old,
believed to be the last real son Of the
American Revolution, died recently at
his home In Omaha. Moore was born
near Vernon, Oneida county, New
York. His father, at the age of f1f-
teen was fighting with the Continental
army and was with Washington at
Valley Forge. Moore came west and
was a government freighter on the
plains in 1869. In the years following
he had many experiences with Indians.
He perfectly remembered his father
and remembered many of the incl
dents of the Revolutionary days told
by the older Moore.

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS
Make 1t Possible to Consolidate and
Establish Graded Schools In Ru-
raj Districts.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
That improved roads would benefit
our country-school system there would
seem to be no doubt. Good roads make
it possible to consolidate or centralize
the schools and to establish graded
schools in the rural districts. Such
schools centrally located will accom-
modate all of the children within a
radius of four or FIVE miles. In many
communities having the advantage Of
improved roads commodious buildings
have been provided, more competent
teachers employed, and modern facili-
ties for teaching supplied at mini
mum cost.

ted that Thos. E. Campbell has
defeated Fred Golfer for COVER

gruntled Uncle John feels over
the matter, but he can find solace
in the fact that all the other cop
per-lined democratic candidates
for the several state offices have
been elected, which will make
the state house seem like home
to democracy.

Democracy and Christianity.

and with the coming of this great
er freedom Of thought and ac-
ton would it not be well, as
contemporaneous event if we
also took on a greater Christian
tolerance and denominational
charity.
During the recent United War
Work drive it was surprising to
know the number of people who
gave as an excuse for not contrib
uting to the fund that they would
not let any of their money go to
the K. of G.. This might furn-
ish good excuse and satisfy the
mind of those who did not want
to donate to this great humanitar-
ian cause, but a little thought
and investigation discloses the
excuse was not valid, and it GER
tainly was most unfair and un-
Christian like in the extreme.
The quota for Winslow was &c.
900, and of this sum the members
of the Catholic church contribu-
ted nearly one-half, and not a
single member of that religious
denomination refused to donate
because a major portion of the
money was going to the Protes-
tant societies. What is true in
Winslow is probably true all over
the land; and the contributions
of the Catholic church to the
fund has been general and liberal
to the extreme with no thought
that some of their money was
going to help finance Protestant
institutions.
Out of a total of all money
raised in this drive to help care
for our soldier boys, the Knights
of Columbus will get only 1850
per cent, or less than one-fifth,
the Jewish Welfare Society will
receive 2.80 per cent, and the big
balance, 1880 per cent, goes to
the other five Protestant organi-
cations.
Taking Winslow as case in
point, the Catholic citizens have
donated nearly $4,000 to fund
out of which only a trife over
81, 900 goes to their own church
society, and the balance of their
subscriptions go to the different
Protestant organizations. In view
of these figures the Protestants
who refused to donate for fear a
penny of their money would fall
into the hands of the Catholic
church ought to be sorely asham-
ed of themselves for the narrow
view they have taken to embar-
rass a great movement to benefit
the boys in France. The Protes-
tants are now squarely faced with
with the humiliating condition
that they have permitted the
Catholic church, not only to f.
nance their own great society that
is doing such noble work oversea,
but have furnished a goodly por-
tion of the money to finance the
different Protestant societies.
But supposing the splendid
showing of the Catholic church
had not developed, and they had
only contributed a small portion
to the War Work Fund, still there
is no Christian charity in the at
titude of certain i-Catholic
people refusing. to aid all these
great organizations who are do
ing so much to maintain the mo-
rale of the army both at home
and abroad. The sons of our
Catholic citizens are fighting side
by side with the sons of the Prot
estant, in a spirit of comradeship
where there is no thought of
religious prejudice, and the huts
of the Knights of Columbus are
just as welcome a sight to Prot
estants as to the Catholic boys,
and all receive the same measure

PRO-GERMAN COLLEGE PRO-
FESSORS.

st. Joseph (Mo.) News Press {:
The colleges have made a splendid
record in this war. The proportion
of their graduates who enlisted vol
UNFAIRLY has been very large. 1t
shows that it pays to instruct our
young men in the history OF the
world. The more they know of
human experience, the better able
they are to deduct shamS and fraud.
But here and there one finds a
pro-German college professor.
There are occasional groups of
bumptious college students, who
feel that they have, acquired a lit
tie more than their share of human
wisdom. Demanding the right of
free speech, they glorify a country
where free speech is absolutely de-
MED, and seek to euabl that coun-
try to stablish its domination over
the world.
A great many of our college pro-
tesSorS were educated in Germany.
Only a few years ago it was re-
garded as the very center OF human
wisdom. Some OF the students in
Germany caught the taint OF the
national imperialism. In their ad-
miration of scientific precision, they
failed TO see that the life blood of
democracy had been Sapped. The
technical advance of the German
people so excited their admiration
that they failed to see that politi-
cally and socially the Germans were
in the most rudimentar V stage.
They had failed to take the first
step toward democracy and self
government.
Some college men who went
through this experience were so
charmed by German friendships and
impressed by German science that
they are blind to German cruelty,
deceit, and lawlessness. They are
little fitted to continue with the
work of instructing the youth of
a democracy. They have not ac-
quircd that insight into the life of
peoples which college work is sup
posed to give. They need to go to
school themselves again, instead of
attempting to teach others.

THE IUNE ECLIPSE.

On une s this year there will be a
total eclipse OF the sun visible in
this country over a greater area
than any since 1865. Its path ex-
tends from the mouth OF the Co.
lumbia river in Washington to the
Atlantic ocean off the coast of Flor
ida. i lew OF the cities in the I'M
mediate path OF the moons shadow
on that day will be Aberdeen,
WASH, Wciser and Pocatello, Idaho.
Steamboat Springs, Denver and
Lamar, Colo, Cherokee. Okla,
Little Rock, Ark; Yazoo City and
Jackson, Miss, and Orlando, Fla.
The eclipse will travel across the
country at the rate OF about 55
miles mif!ute, and will require only
u minutes to traverse the entire
distance from Aberdeen to Orlando.
Eclipses used to be regarded with
superstition. They were portents of
deep significance, usually supposed
TO be iraught with evil. Nowadays
we regard them with scientific in
terest as providing us with means
OF learning more OF the suns cor
ona and other astronomical phe-
nomena which can be studied only
at such times.
But il there be any connection
between suns and moons and mum
dane happenings, let us all hope this
time that the hiding OF the sun
presages victory.

DOING YOUR BIT"

BY N. A. Jennings
Member American Defense Society
Now what have you done to help
in the war?
And how have you stood the
test?
Have you done so much that you
cant do more?
Have you done your level best ?
Are yea satisfied? Do you think to
quit
Giving aid at your country's call?
Do YOU pride yourself on doing
your bit"
When others are doing their All?
Maybe you've purchased Liberty
Bond,
With money you we'll can spare;
You have signed a cheque-been
quick to respond
And pleased to have done your
Share"
To have done your "share"-oh, the
shame of it
To have done your share with a
scrawl;
Complacent because you've given
your bit,
While others are giving their All!
War calls for the best from every
one
Not merely from those who fight;
Our part in the work has only be-
gun
As we battle for God and Right.
Go to it in earnest and show your
grit,
Americans, great and small;
Drop your impertinent doing my
Bit;
The least you can do is your All.
Our boys at the front are giving
their lives,
As Christ gave his life for men:
With God-given courage each SOL
der strives
That the world may be whole
again.
In that fury OF strife, in helps own
pit
They fight as their comrades fall;
Are you satisfied to be giving your
bit"
When heroes are giving their All?
Think as you lie in your warm, cosy
bed
OF them lying there in the mud;
Think OF the wounded, the blinded,
the dead,
The horrors, the filth and the
blood;
Think OF those men who will never
submit,
Who are in it beyond recall;
Then never again say, doing my
Bit;
Be true to yourseli-do your All!

GOOD WAR BREAD.

That war bread must be good
bread, is the contention OF Dir. Ilar-
vey Wiley, veteran guardian OF the
nations food standards. He says
Unfortunately, the idea which j,
associated with the term war bread
at the present time is a bread de
preciared by mixing with other sub
stances so as TO make bulk and
weight which is cheaper than the
bulk and weight OF real bread. ii
ever We needed good bread, we need
it now. We need it for the soldier
in In trenches; we need it for the
recruit just called to the colors ;
We need it for the rookie preparing
to be called. We need it for all citi-
zens OF military age. We need it for
the children who are growing; we
need it Tor old people who are be-
yond military age. We need good
bread for everybody"
DR.. Wiley's idea is that each kind
of war bread should be made ex-
clusiyely of one cereal and should
contain all OF that cereal. Thus
we should have rye bread made OF
the whole ground rye, wheat bread
oi the whole ground wheat, corn
bread OF the whole ground corn,
barley bread Of the whole ground
barley

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
FARMER

In his message OF January 81 to
the farmers of America President
Wilson points out the great govern
ment agencies and instrumentalities
in the field OF agriculture.
Our department OF agriculture,
he states, is the greatest practical
and scientific organization in the
world and its total annual budget
OF four to six million dollars has
been increased during the last four
years mere than u per cent. Its
staff numbers 1900 and includes
many highly trained experts. The
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations OF the country have to-
tai endowment of plant equipment
of $l72000000 and an annual in
come OF more than $35,000,000. Ten
thousand two hundred and seven
ty-one teachers with 125,000 stu
dents, together with vast num-
Der receiving instruction at their
homes, evidence what is being done
