The clerical force in the county
clerks Office has been kept busy re-
cording releases of mortgages and
deeds OF trust since the beginning of
the year. Releases are about as nu-
merous as deeds-a condition never
known before and which tends to
prove that not all of the peoples in
comes are absorbed by high wages, or
the high cost of materials and supplies.
There still seems 10 be enough left to
keep the wolf from the door-if not
actually to drive him out of sight

WANTS TO BE SURE

The Advocate never believed in un-
just criticism. Sometime ago the la
dies in a Western State conceived the
idea of making a collection Of shirt
tails from Governors and other nota-
bles, converting them into aprons, and
selling the aprons for the benefit of
the Red Cross. 1t seems that Gov
ernor Cats did not respond by send,
ing a shirt-tail-in fact, refused to be
shorn of his shirt-tail, and now he is
BEING criticised by the State press
We cannot join in this criticism I'M
til we learn for a certainty that Gov
ernor Cats has a shirt-tail. -Wau
chula Advocate.

Alfalfa is another thing that we be-

use some patience and judgment. It
is valuable crop, and of late years
1t has been extended over vast areas
where formerly it was not grown.

Less than 1900 people OF this state
made income tax returns the past

We do not regard as of great i'm,
portance the overtures for peace on
the part of Germany, told of in our
dispatches today. We expected a
scueal from Germany as soon as the
Allies successes began to make the
shoe pinch but we do not think these
peace propositions will be taken Sc
riously anywhere. The only peace
possible now is that which is based
on terms dictated absolutely by the
Allied nations, and in which Germany
has no voice. Any other kind of a
peace would mean a surrender of the
principal things we have been fight
ing for. The American people want
peace. it is true, but they do not want
1t on any terms that Germany would
offer or accept, except as forced upon
her.

this the city is lighted including its

cumstances can we neglect it. But it
is only a part. Universal suffrage
can be justified only by universal
service, service in peace and service
in war. The man who will not rend-
er this service has no right to vote.
If he won't fight for the country in
war and do his duty by the country
in peace, we ought not to permit
him to vote in the country The
conscientious Director, who won't
serve as soldier or won't pay his
taxes, has no place in a republic
like ours, and should be expelled
from it. for no man who won't pull
his weight in the boat has right in
the boat.
Universal Service Need.
1--WE now have an approach to the
universal service which some of us
have for many years been demand
ing. We now have all men from Is
to As required to serve their country,
and required to register. Let US
make this system permanent and let
us use it for the purposes of peace
no less than for the purposes of war
Let US extend the principle to women
no less than to men. Let us have
suffrage on service. Let US demand
the service from women as we
do from men. and in return
give the suffrage to all men and
women who in peace and war per-
form the service. and to no Others.
Base suffrage on service and not on
sex. Treat it not as an unearned
privilege. but as duty which each
of us is I. perform in a spirit of
service to all of US, and as a right
which is not to be enjoyed unless
the person enjoying it does his or
her full duty in peace and war.
1--WE now have universal military
service. If four years ago we had had
universal military training. so that
the service would have been inn
mediately efficient when called for,
the war would have been over within
90 days from the time we entered it.,
I'D infinite bloodshed and treasure
would have been spared. Next time
we may not have allies to protect us.
And even if we do have allies. let us
remember that our latent strength
is such that if we prepare it in ad-
vance. the chances are strong for our
imposing an almost immediate peace
in any conflict into which we are
obliged to enter: whereas. if we
do not prepare it in advance we are
doomed to impotence in any war
unless we have allies who protect
US during the year or two we spend
in hurried and extravagant effort to
do what we ought to have already
done.
II am not advocating Prussian
militarism. | am advocating the kind
of democratic preparedness which
Switzerland has developed to her
own great advantage. socially and
economically. and with the result of
keeping war out of her borders.
incidentally, if had my way, |
would change the draft rules now,
so far as giving any special privi-
leges to the young fellows between
10 and 20 in the matter of college
training, to fit them to be officers.
