plague. This is most shocking to all
good Socialists, because those unfortu-
nate children should have been sent
to public institution All children
are the property of the state, accord
ing to their doctrine, and why is not
the state the best protector of it's own
property?
Come, Mr.. Socialist, call on these
misguided people and try to induce
them to send these children to an asy-
lum, the proper place for them. By
the way, why not appoint Socialists as
governors of our asylums and let them
show us how they should be managed?
Consider the Poor Orphan.
The German has not lost his cunning
nor changed his character in the slight
est. He is pulling Grape" vigorously
just now and has inspired his 'inno-
cent women to appeal to our "inno-
cent women" not to be too hard on the
poor German people, who are the real
sufferers in the war.
This reminds us of Artemus Wards
story of the hulking fellow who was
convicted of numbering his father and
mother. When asked by the judge If
he had anything to say before his SEN
tence was pronounced he pleaded, with
tears in his eyes, that she hoped his
honor would consider the feelings of a
poor orphan"
Advanced Thinkers.
+. The most advanced and profound
thinkers of today in the political field
are the Socialists, as they themselves
admit. The present Democratic ma
Jority in Congress could learn a lesson
from them by observing the Socialist
practices in Russia The Democrats.
If they were as wide awake and pro-
gressfve as the Socialists, would seize
the opportunity while they are in DOW
er OF gathering the newly elected Re-
publicans into groups of five, putting
them into wells and throwing in hand
grenades. This would leave a hand
some majority of Democrats in the
next Congress.
The Parasite Turks.
Fifteen thousand Armenians were
murdered by the Turks last week. 1t
sounds very little if you say it quickly.
But when you give sober thought to
such statement you see how utterly
wicked and unprincipled it would be
to leave vestige of authority or pow
er In the hands of these thieving cut
threats.
Shame on those idiots who talk glib
ly of driving the Turks out of Eu-
rope and leaving them in possession
of Asia Minor. Now that they are
overcome, we should place them where
they are unable to govern any one.
The only thing is that if you put a
turk into a situation in which he had
to work for living" he would imme-
dlately starve to death, for Turk new
er did stroke of work in all his his
tory. He is a parasite-like Gland
owner" say.
Our Home Knights.
One of the most impressive features
OF the decorations in St Georges chap
ell in Windsor Castle, England, is the
row of banners that hang above the
choir stalls. Each banner bears the
coat-of-arms of Knight of the Garter.
and the effect of the different colors is
very beautiful.
In this country we have hung ban
ners in our churches also, not in memo
ry OF individuals of lofty rank, but
with star for every member of the
community, no matter what his circum-
stances in life, who has gone to risk
his life for our safety. 1 do not know
but what our banners are as express
sive as those of the Knights. They
should be far nearer our hearts and af-
fections. EARSEN l. SOPEN
