nation plays in the winding up OF
the conflict Fort the present, the
nation should stand as one man by
the president, applauding his every
good word and work, and holding up
his hands when he needs support or
encouragement. Meanwhile, let all
understand that any story, rumor, or
tale, whispered, shouted, or published
the object of which is to create an
impression unfavorable to the pur-
poses of any nation, or the conduct of
any nation in the allied group, is
probably of enemy origin. and should
be silenced forthwith. The peace con-
ference, in due time, will speak for
itself.-Christian Science Monitor.

MAKE IT A REAL CHRISTMAS

The last genuine Christmas the
world knew was five years ago. Now
comes a real 100 per cent Christmas.
The spirit of it is in the air. The
bugles of optimism announce it's ad-
vent. Civilization is safe, for time
at least. The hosts Of darkness lie
PROSTATE. Again peace on earth,
good will toward men," becomes some
thing more than phrase. For new
reign of peace begins; new nantes
tations of good will among men are
every day apparent. Something OF
the Christmas spirit is to be written
into the laws of nations. Join the un-
iversal chorus of gladness. Give voice
to you thankfulness that things are
as they are; that you have lived to
see this gladstone time Of all times.
All ready, then, for Christmas-the
gladdest, jolliest, most wholesomely
genuine Christmas we have ever
known! Cleveland Plain Dealer.

arguments can the Hun understand.
And who is to do without food that
the Huns may eat? Are we going
to deny food to Russia? Are we 60
ing to stop sending food to Belgium?
Are the allies going to get no more?
Is Rumania to starve? Is Poland to
get no food? Or are the American
people to be the only ones to do with
out? 1t seems hardly possible that the
United States can continue to feed
the nations they have been feeding
during the war and then have some
thing left to send to Germany. There
must be a limit somewhere. Great
as is this nation it cannot hope to
feed the Huns in addition to all the
other nations that need supplies.
The American people have respond
ed readily to every appeal for econ
omy in the use of food; they have
given up this, that and the other
thing, to help the allies and have
done it willingly, but too much is
being asked when che nation is re-
quested to deny itself in order that
the Huns shall eat. And make no
mistake; they are Huns now as they
were last month and last week when
they were poisoning American sol
diers with gas, were leaving traps to
kill allied men and were dropping
bombs on women and children The
men now in control in Germany have
always supported the war and the
kaiser's war program. They are in
control. Given the opportunity they
would again attempt to conquer the
world, if they appear to have a chance
to win by trickery. The nation has
not changed with the change in form
of government
Give them foed? No. Give them
nothing but what the Americans gave
them in battle, unshirted hell.

OWNERSHIP OF RAIL WAYS.

Frank Crane, noted writer and
thinker, in the Milwaukee Journal
says:
Government ownership of railways
and telegraphs in this country Is not
Socialistic. 1t is democratic. The
difference is that it is done by the
peoples will, because they want it,
and is not imposed on them by theor~
lists.
Some Of the choices made by the
people are bad. But the most in
alienab1e right is the right to make
our own mistakes. If we want the
government to take over the meat
business OF, the, flour trade or any
thing else, we will get our wish, buk
it will not be Socialism. Many of the
aims and ideas of Socialism are good.
But they have not one that is not bet
ter attained by democracy.
Democracy is American. Socialism
is German. If Europe wants to tread
the bloody way of Socialism she is
free to do so. But democracy is good
enough for us.

THE WONDERS OF FLYING

When will come the wonders of

wings is now 400 miles, enough in
distance to more than cross the At

easily gone to Berlin and back. 1t is
luck for the Berhners it was COM
pleted little late for the war else
they would have felt what London
several times experienced. The SUI
perlative step to be made in flying
is to go around the earth as fast as
the sun seems to travel. When this
is done the north and south poles
of flying will have beeen reached.

DAMPHOOLISHNESS.

From st. Petersburg, Fla, Mr.. and

friend the following from the Peters
burg, Independent;
When Herbert Hoover and President
Wilson undertake to persuade the peo-
pie of the United States to deny them
selves sugar, meat, wheat -four and
other foods in order that the Huns
shall be fed, the: will find that they
have never before had really tough
job. For the American people are not
in any mood to make sacrifices that
their enemies may live. 1t is serious

has promised Germany that food will
be sent to the country to feed the
people.

the kaiser and his armies through four
long years of numbering babies, killing

Shall we deny ourselves food to keep
alive the nation that scourged the
earth? Don't say that it was not the
German people who did these things.

RHYMES BY A WOULD BE POET
Twas the night before Christmas
And down in the cellar
A barrel was left
BY strapping big fellow.
And a wee little mouse
Who lived thereabout
Saw a leak in the barrel
And something run out.
Now the barrel held whiskey
And this little guy
Was raised in Freedom
And knew nothing of rye,
So the mouse first tasted
The stuff that was wasted.
He liked the sensation
And it made him feel gay,
I'll just get enough
Of this awful good stuff
Before that big bluff
Comes and takes it away.
The mouse made one leap
To the top of the key
Head on one side
And waved his front leg
I am brave as a lion
And big as a cow
l could lick that dam cat
II she'd come along now.

ed, the American people are told that
America will help to feed the Ger

Where are the stores of wheat that
the Huns stole from Rumania? Where
are the food supplies that they took
from Russia? Did the Huns think of
the thousands of innocent women and
children who would starve In Ruman-
ia? Not at all. They took all the
food that could be seized. They cared
not jot what happened in the coun-
tries they robbed. 1t mattreed not
to them that women died for want of
food and that children went hungry.
Now they whine and ask America for
food.
Where is the food that Germany
boosted she had? Germany, only
short time ago, boldly declared that
it could feed itself and defied England
to starve her. Yet that same nation
begs for food.
The murderers of babies AM WON
en-, old men and nuns, the rapists and
plunderers, the Huns, come now to
President Wilson, whom they have
reviled, and ask him to give them
food. The nation that stood behind
the kaiser for four years, that sup
ported his armies and defied the
whole world cannot now say that it
is guiltless, that the kaiser was to
blame. The German people were just
as guilty as the kaiser They ap-

Germany celebrate, when the Lusitan-
ia was sunk, though they knew that
ship carried to the bottom of the
ocean scores of children and women
of neutral country? Do we owe to
those women and children who APP
plauded the sinking of the Lusitania
any mercy? The same women reviled
and spat upon British and American
soldiers who were helpless prisoners.
These same women and children de-
MED to wounded British soldiers even

in glee at the sight of wounded SOL

to walk through the streets. These

The Huns invaded Belgium. They
