Chorus

Chorus:
Yes, Wen gather at the border,
Where the French so nobly stand; /;
And Wen hurl the foul invader,
From the soil of Belgium's land.
If We cannot fight with others;
If our work is here at home,
Let us feed our hungry brothers,
That the vict'ry soon may come.
Chorus:
Yes, We'll work and save for freedom :
On the bonds we'll take a chance,
We will do our bit with gladness,
For our boys who fight in France
If we cannot fight beside them,
We can raise a bumper crop.
That will feed the allied nations,
While our boys go o'er the top.
Chorus:
Yes, we'll back the boys in khaki;
To the allies be a prop;
And to back the blue-clad Jackie,
Boost the bonds clear DER the top.
Soon Wen reach the goal of nations;
Soon this cruel war shall cease,
But our boys must have their rations,
If they win this worldwide peace.
Chorus:
Yes we'll fioht the bloody kaiser
With our bonds and gardens too,
For we're listed in this army,
Meath our own Red, White and Blue.

frantic and has stampeded

Mississippi and Kentucky have all

Then when Dr. Garfield promulgat-

needs OF the navy, the Worla throws
itself into fit and says that the or

But when the policy OF the admins

AS TO NATIONAL PROHIBITION

wise?
TO say how and in what manner Ii.
quors are TO me manufactured. and
why are the moonshiners all tried in
the United States courts?
Governor Joe Brown OF Georgia.
when he became a member of the
| United States senate, held to the opin.
ion that the manufacture of liquor was
entirely state matter and that the
farmer ought to have the privilege to
manufacture the products of his
farm in any manner that he saw prop
er. and Uncle Sam should hands off.
just how and in what manner the
farmer manufactured and marketed
his crops was entirely state and in
dividual affair. and should be regulat-
ed. if regulated at all. by the several
states.
But his theory did not hold, or at
least was not accepted az constitu-
tional law and the United States has
been exercising the control of the
manufacture and sale OF liquor for
any number of years.
So we submit that it is rather late
in the day to say that anything con
corning liquor. It's sale or manufac-
ture, is solely state matter over
which the United States has no con-
troll
Some of our earlier statesmen
made the same plea concerning appro-
priations for our rivers and harbors.
They held that each state ought to
provide funds for the deepening OF
it's rivers and improving its harbors
as a great many yet hold about our
public highways.

We are told tat some OF the mem
bers of the United States senate have
quaIms of conscience so acute that
they end it impossible TO vote for the
resolution granting suffrage TO women
because they are afraid that it will be
an invasion of state rights, and yet a
precedent was set by the adoption of
a similar resolution granting this priv
i!ege to the brother in black"
That is not all
This self-same senate has but recent
" adopted a resolution submitting a
constitutional amendment TO the
states for national prohibition
Is not that an invasion OF state
rights as much so as the adoption of a
resolution submitting a constitutional
amendment to the states granting to
women the privilege of the ballot.
And yet that is not all

WAR SCANDALS

There never was war that there
ere not scandals.
Read the accusations that assailed
Washington and the continental con-
gress.
Read the various scandals of the
civil war period, both on the Union
and Confederate side.
When a declaration OF war was
made against Spain we remember how
! long we were mobiliZing the army;
/ how long we were in getting our troops
across to Cuba.
! 1t will be remembered that the mob
! ilization began early in the spring
and the war terminated before the
following winter
, The troops were naobikzed in south
! Florida. where the air was balmy and
/ blankets. overcoats, sweaters ana
similar equipments. were Aot neSes-
sary.
( But let US suppose that the mobil-
i ization had begun in the fall instead
of spring, Judging from the ''embalm-
cd beef" and other Scandals that the
wTetched food supply gave rise to,
/ does one suppose that the country
would not have been flooded with
still greater scandals about the made
quate supply OF clothing than that
with which we are now satiated?
We remember visiting one of the
camps and We shall never forget the
picture of horror that met our eyes
when we entered one of the hospitals
and saw the sick and the dying
There were absolutely no sanitary
precautions and, If we saw one, we
must have seen billion flies
The open cess pools were in close
proximity to the kitchens. mess halls
and hospitals, and, if we rememberI
correctly, none of these buildings
were even screened.
There was a perceptible scarcity of
nurses (the Red Cross had not yeti
been organized and the sick and the
dying lay helpless in their improvised
hunks with flies swarming in their
ears. nostrils and mouths
II was a sad and sickening sight.
See what a vast difference the
camps present today.
The camps are as sanitary as mOn-I
ey. science and skill can make them.
and no scandal has arisen even by the
seyerest critics and fault-finders, with
the exception of the one at CampI
Wheeler, and it is vastly better thanl
was ever seen in any other war and
the lack of preparation there was due
to the sudden outbreak of measles
and pneumonia. and its conditions
were quickly relieved: and at CampI
Wheeler there was no complaint
made as to the quality or quantity of
food
Indeed there has beer a marvel of
efficiency shown in every department
since the declaration of war
No official received more criticisml
than did Secretary Josephus Daniels.
He was the target for the scribes and
pharisees, the funny fellows, the par
agrap piers. but his efficiency is nOwl
acknowledged. and his accusers have
row become his praisers
1t must be remembered that We,
have had the severest winter in any
number of years. and the largest body
of troops ever called to the colors in
our history.
Our marvellous efficiency in truth is,
easily enough to palsy the tongues of
the fault-finders and scandal mong-
ers
Let's do away with fault-fnding We
cannot win the war that way. Let's
quit throwing stumbling blocks in thel
way to embarrass the administration,
but instead hold up the hands of the
president and stiffen the patriotism of
our troops

DEVILS

There are feminine devils who must, opine,
Have been mermaids or fishes, when seaward
the swine
Delilah and Jezebel, Lilith and all
Females who stand but that others may fall.
And females who gossip and stir up strife
And are thorns in the flesh of the neghbor-
hood life.
But the worst type of ALL of the many that
roam
Abroad in the land, is the devil at home
A narrow souled mean little devil of self
A mosquito-like spirit
That keeps up buzzing and maddening hum,
And only is dumb
While sinking its sting into somebody's heart.
Alas, you poor devils, you cannot deceive
The God of the Universe. You will be driven
Straight out Of his heaven
But all earths evils
Will wear themselves out as the cycles roll
And nothing will live but the God in each soul.

In March Cosmopolitan Ella Wheeler
Wilcox talks about them. We quote few
disconnected lines.
God made man, and man made devils
Roaming about in the regions of Mind,
Mischief to find.
MonstrOus devils there are grown old
With sins repeated and unrepented
Devils demented
By their own passions and lusts and greeds
Or by steady diets Of moss-grown creeds.
History tells how these devils would boil
Their differing brothers in kettles Of oil.
Imps Of jealousy, envy, and spite
Grow into big devils, sometimes in q night
Big, black, redeyed devils Of war,
