SHALL WE HATE GERMANS?

WELL THAT DEPENDS upon your definition of hate.
Do you hate the blood-sucking tiger that kills your
child? Do you hate the ratesnake that strikes its fangs
into your wife? Do you hate the murderer who kills your
mother and the brute who ourages your daughter? Is it
hate that prompts you kill such ends in defense OF
your loved Ones or is memery determination to rid
the world of them, knowing that in so doing you are
protecting all humanity? Germany embodes the lust
of the tiger the deadly fangs of rattlesnake the cruelty
of the murderer and the beasty nature of the ourage
and into this war has thrown all of these powers guild
ed by science prosttuted to such vile ends Christ

acty what they are doing They goried in atrocities
and no one can ever pray for them the ground that
they did not know what they were doing. Any prayer
for them must be on some other ground

no time should be lost in arranging for the sale OF the

going to require considerable time in the making of all
the arrangements but if the work started there IS no
reason why the work cannot be we'll under way within
the next three four months SO that when spring arrives
the work can be rushed.
THAT THE CITY PRIMARY is going to be interesting
is proven by the fact that there now eight an
nonced candidates and possibly there will be two
others to enter the To enter the primary it will be
necessary to qualify before today The suggestion
has been made the Enterprise, which the face of it
appears to be excellent one, that the charter OF
B0galusa should be amended that parties desiring to
seek the Office of commissioner specify for which
position the council he is running. In this manner it
would give the voters opportunity to decide which man
best qualified to fill the office Of commissioner Of
Streets yet commissioner of education he might lack
the necessary qualifications Two or three might be
well qualified for one certain Office who could render
the service in other Offices Then there should be
ruling to whether the four receiving the highest
votes the nominees not For instance there are
candidates at present In case there were two more to
enter should the four with the highest votes be declared
the nominee should the two with the smallest vote
drop out and there be a run-of?
THE SUGGESTION has been made that Bogalusa ought
to rigdly enforce the compulsory educational law. tt
is stated that owing to the fact that large number oil
families come here after the schools have opened which
results in there being possibly so IS children who dol
not attend school, owing the fact that they arrive here
too late to start the children at the opening The i'm
potance of giving the children the best possible educa
ton is appreciated by everyone and if necessary, the
City of Bogalusa should employ truant officer to see
that the children attend school, The children and pos
sbly parents, may not approve of it at the start
but later in life they would be thankful The city schools
have started ou with enrolment of 1900 pupils
and this number should be increased until every child
who should attend school is going regularly

St. Winnitred
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
people of northern Europe Is given In
a legend of st. Winnifred. 1t is one
of the many thousands of those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefs that have at
tached themselves to the midwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
1t is related that st. Winnifred, great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree it was blasted by sudden
whrlwind Close beside 1t was a
young fir tree which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
of the giant oak. Then st. Winnffred
is reported to have spoken as follows
to the pagans:
"Ths little tree, young child of
the forest, shall be- your holy tree to-
night. 1t is the wood Of peace, for
your homes are built of it. 1t is the
sign of an endless life, for its leaves
are always green. See how it points
toward heaven! Let this be called the
tree of the Christ Child. Gather about
it; not in the wild woods, but in your
homes; there 1t will shelter no deeds
of blood but loving gifts and acts of
Kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
of the northern regions, became the
holy tree of the converted pagans, and
In its honor or in memory Of the
thoughts it stood for they decorated it
with lights and gifts at Christmas.

Christmas Is
Children's Day

The message of Christmas is love.
It's emblem is radiant, thankful, con-
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be no
real Christmas. The form might sur
yive but the substance would be lack
Ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfuous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glOrifies.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
tion and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let MS adopt their point of view ans
put ourselves in their places-in the
places of these sons and daughters of
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only year or
two ago, as it seems, when we hung
our wcll-worn stockings in a row along
the manttl shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure ut the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and I. 1t all comes
back in flood of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill
dren vOice now. Modest remembrances
they were that bulged toe and heel of
the stockings mother knit.
life and it's circumstances change,
but the essence of Christmas never.
The same happy childhood, the same
resipssness, the same snail-like creep
ing nf time as the holiday approaches.
The same parenthoOd, tOo-the same
planning across the reading table after
the boys and girls are abed, the same
loving consideration of what this Or
that child most desires and how far
the family purse can properly be
s,rctc ched to permit some further pur-
chase.
Every home is assured Christmas
If It has great, warm heart pulsating
In tune with the hopes and joys of
MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE GREAT DUTY.

As we go about our daily tasks in
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battlefelds of Europe
to save civilization. Our own gallant
soldiers are shedding their blood in
France and our sailors engulsed in the
waters of the Atlantic as they go in
defense of Americas rights and honor
Upon our performance of the work
committed to us depend the lives of
thousands of men and women, the fate
OF many nations, the preservation of
civilization and humanity itself; and
the greater number of the people of
other nations released from bondage
and saved from death.
To work, to save, to economic, to
give financial support to the govern
ment is duty of the nation and to
the world and it is especially a duty
to our fighting men who on land and
sea are offering their lives for their
country and their countrymen.

1S73-1S96 general prices decreased
approximately 400.
1S96-1914 general prices increased
approximately 47%e.
A nation at war is an insistent buy
er of commodities. At the outbreak
of the European war, several buyers
entered our market Their insistent
buying power led to an intensiication
of the market demand Industrial
plants in laying plans for expansion
to take care of war contracts went
into the market bidding for capital
in the form of building machinery,
raw materials and also labor. In or
der to get this additional supply and
to shift it from other lines of produc-
ton, it was necessary to pay higher
prices. Other industries, not working
on war contracts, found it more
difficult to retain their skilled labor
and to get raw materials at usual pri-
ces, and as a result they were com
PEELED to offer higher prices or re-
duce their output
Four economic factors-in intensified
ton of demand, disruption in distribu-
ton, shortage of supplies of certain
commodities and shortage of labor
certainly must be considered as for
ces generating an increase in prices.
TINS view has the support of Professor
Nicholson, staunch exponent of the
quantity theory of money when he
states, 1T often happens that a rise
of prices begins with a rise in de-
mand for important commodities. the
rise being accelerated by speculation,
Such a rise, however, cannot be main
tanned or advance beyond certain
limits, unless there is an increase in
the currency required for cash pay
T. ents"
In this country, the rise of prices
was made possible by the fact that the
demand was backed up by purchasing
power. Other countries have sent as
a net addition of over 100000, 900
gold which has been added to our
monetary supply.
The increase in the price level has
more money to do the
same volume of business, as judged by
the amount of commodities AS am
example of this, increased wages and
increased value of inventories have.
made it necessary for business men to
increase their working capital In ad
dtion, the volume of business has in
creased During the period of the
present war. according to, the esti-
mate of Prof Anderson, the volume of
business has increased 3GgS as meas
ured by units of commodities. Rail-
roads have carried increased guam
tity of merchandise Pig iron produc-
ton, usual barometer of the volume
OF business, has increased from 3d.
10000 tons En 1913 to 3s,043 900 in
1916 and 38,195,00O in 1917.
And we should not overlook the fact
that The Increase in price has aided in
the s mutation of American industry
and augmented the total amount of
production In fact under the condi-
tons obtaining during the first three
years of the war, the necessary ex-,
pansion in industry could be secured,
only by a rise of prices and con-
somitant increase in the volume of
monty.
