Canals and Railroads.

In the Evening World articles are
appearing that discuss the coal situa-
ton and the greatest stress is laid by
the writer on the emasculation of the
canals by the railroad and coal COM
panies. The people have been robbed
in the most deliberate and cold blood
ed manner, simply because of public
Indifference and ignorance. The men
who controlled the railroads plotted
the ruin of the canals in the most
shameless manner and carried out
their schemes while throwing sand in
the eyes of their fellows in a manner
that would be amusing were it not so
tragic. The war produced the situa-
ton that brought their villainies to
light.

New World Man.

While I am arranging the new map
of the world according to my ideas it
would be as well to state that there
must be no Turkish form of govern
ment left in existence in any part of
the world. They believe in high GUS
toms duties, personal property taxes
and taxes on improvements. They
have no land tax, because it would be
useless to try to collect it after they
had collected the others, and they don't
want too much trouble, even in col
Letting money.

Bio Load of Soldiers.

We saw ferryboat loaded with sol
diers pass astern of the Fort Lee fer
ry, and they all waved to the passea-
gers aboard our boat Evidently they
were on their way and wanted to
wave ''goodby'' to the folks they were
leaving behind. Out came handker-
chiefs and off came hats from every
one who saw them. There was wire
less message of sympathy and good
will that passed between the ferry
boats as plain to the sight as if it was
a broad ribbon of scarlet.

Protect Your Feet,

The Spanish influenza, fortunately,
has not invaded Palisade very extern
sively yet, but it is too early in the
season yet to make predictions. There
is one simple precaution which every
one can take: Keep a non-conductor
of heat on the soles of your feet.
Cork insoles or the hair of goats in
pad form are splendid health protec-
tors. Even if your feet become damp
you may ward off sickness if you are
protected from chilled soleS. In old
times people wore lung protectors or
reSpiratOrS over their mouths and
never thought of their feet.

No More German Ships.

Imagine German merchant vessels
steaming out of their ports of safety
loaded to the guards with goods,
Haunting their pirate emblem over the
graves of murdered civilians-men,
women and children-killed without
warning by their devilish submarines
in violation of all human law! And
then their navy-heaven save the
mark! No. No German must ever be
permitted to sail the sea except on a
decent, law abiding ship. The man
who counsels otherwise is not wise.

Draft Wealth.

If the subscriptions to the Fourth
Liberty Loan do not amount to the
six billions required, then let the gov
eminent draft wealth as it has drafted
men. The finest piece of statesman
ship of modern times is the machinery
and method by which our citizens were
taken into the army. Let us take
money the same way. Send out ques-
tionaire cards to be filled in under oath
by every citizen and impriSon every
falsifier for 10 years or more. The
government knows exactly how many
of it's notes and bills are issued and
this would check up the cards to a
certain extent.

Still MAKING Excuses.

When automobiles became plentiful
complaint was made that people went
off into the country on Sunday and
thus neglected to go to church. Now
that we have gasless Sundays the
same people excuse themselves on the
ground that they cannot use their
autos to come to church.

Have you heard the "Palisade Home
Guard March yet? 1t would stir the
blood corpuscles of tadpole and
make a leap-frog jump with joy.
When the Community Chorus sings

know that Palisade has come on the

Many white ghosts appeared in West

were the coverings for plants too
large to bring indoors and out again.
The effect was rather startling for

Miss Gibson had been i'll but few

"Berlin in flames is the heading we
will all look for as reprisals for the
burning of French and Belgian towns

German Thumb TwiddIers.

And the German army? Well, they
can stand around and drill by twid-
ding their thumbs, because the Ger
mans will be too busy paying off the
worlds war debts to have time to arm

who plotted against the peace and dig
nifty of the entire world must stand the

Imagine the joy of the Serbians as

they We're driven by the cruel and
cowardly treachery of the Bulgarians.

they had stepped over on the wrong

"FIST OF WAR LORD"
America Now Feeling 1t, Say German
Papers Exnltantly.

Amsterdam, June 9.-News of the
German U-boat operations on the
American coast receives page head
lines in the latest German newspa-
pers. The press once more launches
its TRADES against the United States
and it's president and to endeavor to
find some offset for the assembling
of American hosts in France. Despite
the abuse by the German papers of
Premier Clemenceau for the inspira-
ton to France he finds in the COM
ing of the Americans, their arrival is
evidently viewed with anything but
equanimity in Germany.
The Cologne Gazette concludes a
violent diatribe against America thus:
ut is, therefore, only right and
fair that We too make use of our
war means and show the friends of
humanity in their home land what war
looks like and what it means. Our
U-boats first visited American coasts
for legitimate peaceful commerce. The
North Americans may now feel the
fist OF the war lord.
They need not be surprised. He
who sows the wind reaps the whirl-
wind. even when he sits on the other
side of the great herring pond where
he is under the delusion that he is
safe from the Storm
The Cologne Volks Zeitung talks
about chose who are prosecuting a
starvation war against our wives and
children having revealed to them off
their own coasts the seriousness of
war, where the new strategy of our
U-boat war which technically is be-
coming increasingly perfected, is also
directed against the other shore of
the Atlantic ocean. This in view of
the character of our American oppo-
lent, evokes on all sides the liveliest
satisfaction among the German peo-

NOTICE, DOCTORS!

1t is the duty of every physician or
citizen in the county to report to the
county health officer Of any ccntagi-
GUS CT communicable disease of which
he has knowledge, especially does this
apply to the physician. The county
health officer has to report to the
state health officer each week, and the
state health officer has likewise to re-
port to the U. s. Public Health Ser
vice. This is now a war measure as
the government is drafting men from
every locality into the service, and 1t
must be known if any of these men
come from districts or communities
with these diseases. A failure to make
these reports is "a violation of the law
