could not watch unmoved the
spectacle Of d great arbitrary
power, utterly INSCRIPTIONS as to
means, using its mighty resources
and its strong military system
toward the enslavment of Europe.
Our national holiday this year
win be both a celebration and q
solemnity. We are giving our
money power and our man power
toward the prosecution of a great
war, IN order to ensure to the free
of the county and the oppressed
or Europe the right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, not only for today, but for
generations to come. On this an
niversary of the birth of our ma
ton let us feel more than ever
that in such a cause no sacrifice
can be too great-that the love of
country and the love of humanity
are not mere phrases, but a living
reality to us all.
Are adequate steps being taken
to provide ample labor for the
harvesting of Lewis county crops :
Is the labor in sight for this har-
vest. which win soon be at hand!

1T IS MORE BLESSED.

Every day now the line is be-
ing more sharply drawn between
the real, self-sacrifieing patriot,
and the profiteer hiding under a
cloak OF blatant loyalty.
Nineteen hundred years ago the
Man OF Gallilee quietly remarked
to company Of friends and fol-
lowers that sit is more blessed to
give than to receive. AT the
time it made little impression
upon his hearers, and in the cen
turtles since that day men have
grasped it merely as a theoretical
truth, with no real thought of
making it a life principle.
But the present world cataelasm
has put people to thinking ser
iously of this statement OF the
great Teacher People with no
claims to religious convictions are
waking up to the fact that under
lying the statement is found the
true secret of life. We are com
ing to see more clearly every day
that the selfish life is the miser-
able life, stunning and dwarfing
all the finer qualities Of our ma
ture that have elevated us as a
race so immeausrably above the
human brutes with whom we now
do battle.
When the final history of this
war is written, those whose names
viii go down at the head of the
honor list viii not be the prof.
teers who grasped millions from
a suffering world; but those who
gave, and gave, and gave, till
they could give no more-who
stripped themselves of earthly
possessions to gain crown that
all earth and hell can never de-
prive them Of
The proud consciousness that
they have "done what they
could" for humanity and the
right.

STILL MEETING THE OBLIGA
TION.

The United States is the only
country whose government wai
constructed upon the principles o.
human rights and human liberty
The governments Of European
countries grew up by degrees al
extensions and consultations Of
the feudal system. They were au-
tocratic, opposed to individual
freedom, and any advance in lib
erty for the body Of the people
had to be wrung from them by bit
ter conflict. The United States
government, on the contrary,
came into being as a guarantee Of
the liberty of the people.
The first statement in the Dec
laration Of Independence acknOw-
lodges man s right to life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness, "
and the formation OF new c0un-
try is based upon the offenses Of
the king against this right.
The men who signed the Decla-
ration did so as a protest against
arbitrary power. They had little
to gain and much to lose by the
separation from the mother coun-
try. American troops were few
and undisciplined, American re-
sources undeveloped. The out
come of the struggle for indie
pendence seemed at the time more
than doubtful. Yet these men,
with hundreds Of their followers,
chose to hazard their property,
their homes and family and their
very lives in defense Of the prin-
cipIe of human liberty.
America was victorious in the
war, and came to a position where
she could develop her power and
resources. The United States be-
came one Of the great prosperous
nations Of the world. But the cir
cumsfances Of her inception have
laid a peculiar obligation upon
her. She must stand as the cham
pion OF freedom or be recreant to
her own traditions.
Our entrance into the war with
is the logical outcome
III this position. We were predes-
tined to it. The United States

IN the present drive for War
Savings Stamps the government
puts it up to us all to make small
economies toward a great cause.
The Liberty Bond issues call upon
us to look ahead and balance the
difference between income and
0utgo, and figuring carefully, to
devote the utmost we can toward
the purchase Of bonds. After we
have done this, the small saeri-
fees we can make from time to
time can be turned toward Thrift
and War Savings Stamps. It has
been suggested that the interest
on the first issue of Liberty Bonds
falling due this month should be
put into War Savings Stamps. As
this interest is an amount beyond
the ordinary income, applying it
to this purpose will not be felt as a
deprivation, and the aggregate
amount if so applied viii be of
great assistance to the govern
ment.

WOMEN AND WAR WORK.
Lifting Heavy Weights, One Thing
They are Compelled to Do.

One of the most serious questions
arising in regard to women workers
in new fields, is that of lifting heavy
weights. In many cases it is found
that women who have gone to work
is such places as railroad yards, are
compelled to lift 100 pounds or
more at time.
1t has been said in defense of this
practice, that women have shown
long before this in such employment
as laundry work, that they could
lift these heavy weights. In laun-
dries, for instance, they have to
handle great baskets full of wet
clothes, requiring great lifting abil-
ity.
To this it is replied that in laun-
dry work only occasional lifting Of
this kind may be required, while
in railroad. yard the work may be
nearly continuous. For instance
women have to wheel heavy barrows
full of heavy metals and other pro-
ducts up and down inclined planes,
and to load the same into freight
cars or remove them to freight
houses, and that such work is like
ly to be continuous.
A recent report 'on the physical
condition of German working wo-
men states that many of them have
been greatly injured by doing this
class of work. In the munition
plants they have spent long periods
lifting up and down heavy projec-
tiles weighing as high as 80 pounds.
They have to lift these articles
breast high and hold them while
they are clamped down. There is
great complaint of abdominal trou-
BILE as the result OF this form of eff
fort.
The executives Club controlling
many of the Detroit, Mich. indus
tires, have adopted the regulation
that the weights which women
should be expected to lift constan-
tly should be limited to % pounds.
A law to that effect has been placed
upon the statute books of a number
Of states. 1t will certainly be a
poor policy to permit women to do
themselves lasting physical injury,
even if some temporary lack of labor
is thereby supplied.

BELGIUM TO BUY HORSES j
IOWA.
Sends Commission Here to Locate
Fancy Stock for Use After War

While the war in Europe is at
it's height and little Belgium is in a
state of devastation, a commission
of optimistic agriculturists, is here
to buy back horses in this country
which were imported here before
the war.
Out on the farm of Charles r.
vine, eight miles north of Des
Moines, this commission found a
horse which had been a prize win
ner at Brussels in 1914.
It's sire was taken by force from
his owner by the Germans. The
owner refused to part with the ami
NAL and he was shot. On the way
out of the country the horse became
unruly and was shot by the Ger
mans in charge of it. The horse
was Belgium's finest animal
The commission, which is headed
by III. van der Werden, is locating
every Belgium horse in this coun-
try. Iowa owns the finest and the
only imported Belgian draft horses.
Irvine has made three trips during
the last five years to Belgium.
After the war Belgium expects
to buy the colts of the animals and
establish again the industry for
which that country was noted.
