THE KNELL OF KAISERISM

The mind, heart and purpose of the
American people were made vocal in
the answer President Wilson gave to
the German government. In it he
crystallizes all he has said in the past
about making the world safe for de-
mocracy, and behind him stands a SOL
idarity of sentiment never before
witnessed in this country or any other,
says the St. Louis Star.
There can be no peace between au-
tocracy and democracy, between mill
tarism and civilization. The forces
which have drenched the world with
blood and sought to pull down the
pillars of civilization must be utterly
destroyed. If the German people will
not or do not destroy them, then our
armies must do so. The war will go
on until peace is asked for by a gov
eminent of the people after the over
throw of the present controlling in
fuences or until there has been COM
plete military subjugation Of the
country and it lies helpless in the
power Of the armies Of democracy.
There never has been room for a
doubt that this would be the final an
swer after the situation was clarified
by the previous interrogatories, for
the purpose of making it sink into the
minds of the German people. They mad
hopes of peace based upon the answer
the German government gave to those
queries. Those hopes have been dash
ed to the ground and they now know
why. They know now better than
they could have known before just
what stands between them and peace
and they know what they must do to
get peace.
They are now approaching their cri-
sis. They must determine whether
they will overthrow Hohenzollernism
and militarism and surrender the spir-
it of empire dominion, or continue to
sacrifice their lives and face final in
vasion and complete military subju-
cation to support them.
1t will take them some time to ac-
complish such a change, and in the
meantime the war must go on, unless
the present government makes COM
plete submission and surrender to the
military forces of the Allies, which
would be but preliminary for its ov-
erthrow, because even after such sub
mission the Allies would continue to
refuse to have dealings with it. The
knell of kaiserism has been rung and
the day Of Democracy is being ushered
in,

tering the Pig Club work as he has
and also that the boys deserve credit
for the excellent work done in raising
these pigs. Every boy who brought
his pig to this sale and entered it in
the show, learned very good lesson
on what constitutes good hog.

ganized committees in every school

quired to furnish information to Mr..

Poultry Culling at c, A. Secor's
The County Agent held a poultry

To interpret President Wilson's re-
ply to Germany's peace proposal, SO
that all may readily understand it, is
just this: he virtually said, "What
kind Of fools do you thinking the ma
tions fighting Germany are to con-
slider such proposal while you are
ravaging their soils? Who put you
up to this fool request? Dom t YOU
know my fourteen points involve
your giving up stolen goods? | can't.

have no faith in a liar" That reply
was the work Of real statesman, and
it will work, as intended, to the over
throw of the hohenzollern and haps-
!burgs by the people they are misrul-.
ing. II is a better reply then to re-
quirc Unconditional Surrender" and

AFTER THE WAR-WHAT?

1t is a well-known fact that practi-
cally all of the larger commercial in
terests of the country are, and have
been for months, giving special at
tention to after-the-war problems
Though the war is not over, the COM
mercial magnates of America are
dealing with the future-for the fu-
ture success of the world, based on
victory in war, means a new form of
conquest which will be commercial in
nature, says the Publishers Auxili-
airy.
There will not be any bloodshed in
the commercial strife that is to fol-
low the cessation of hostilities, but all
business affairs will be conducted on
new plans. The old methods will be
passed. ldiosyncrasies' in methods of
conducting business that were in
vogue before the war will not be in
tune with the music. New ideas will
have to be injected into everything
The war has brought many new and
valuable thoughts to the wiseacres,
some of whom are at this time on the
firing line and have taken advantage
of their perilous position to profit in
some way or other, besides picking off
a few Huns just for amusement
Many of the men at the front will
bring new business ideas home with
them, for battles are conducted on
business principles of the most eff
cient type. Who could not profit from
days, weeks and months in such a
systematic eradication of the hated
enemy? Very well, then. ..
What about the newspaper bust
ness? Thousands of newspaper men
are still in the fighting game-not on
ly fighting for liberty and generally
democratic government of the world,
but fighting for an existence. This
fight to keep heads above water will
be another test of strengthen after
the-war situation that all who seek to
remain in business must meet. How
about you, Mr.. Publisher?
Modern methods, the most inten-
sive business methods, will be neces-
sary. for America will be the leader of
the world. Fogyism and other ante
dated "isms" will not make good for
anybody. There will be countless inn
provements in business methods that
will of necessity require the deepest
meditation-an action. The labor
problem certainly will not be solved
with the end of the war; neither will
the high cost of living, nor the high
cost of material. Subscription rates
will not be lowered. In fact, and in
a nutsell, now is the time to do a
great lot of consistent thinking, and
to have all in readiness for action
when the gong sounds and on the
same day that you print on your front
page the one greatest word the en-
tire world is .soanxious 10 see In the

David Pinkston's pig brought SIS,
Martin Straughan's pig brought $40,
