The Death Sentence

Of The vigiiantes.

There may be strong opposition TO
the proposed death-penalty fos-espion-
age. Humane sentiment OF course
but IL should not be forgotten that
the desth-sentence has been pronoun-
ced widely OF late. The Enemy has
pronounced Il upon whole peoples and
for US Il will be executed as fast as
the Enemy can reach us. upon men.
women and children alike. Is this
doubted One need only think OF the
girls burned to death in the Eddy
stone explosion. and the seamen
drowned every day from merchant
ship~. II there Is any worse form OF
death. IL is tha; hurled upon unsus-
pecsing victims in sudden accidents.
Privations OF food. beat and com
forts. are also deliberately calculated
by the enemy to kill OF more OF our
worthless brood.
The boys who have been armed
and who hace marched away to defy
this universal death and possibly
stop its ravagc. are the happiest of
US all In spite Of poison gas and
shrapnel Their work Ia grim but
they at least have the Joy OF resist
ing to the utmost and playing the
part Of men. not slaves nor trapped
animals n they must die. they go
With their hearts yet strong and their
spirits unbroken.
II their eEorts fal. tie rest OF us
may think upon death as in Armenia.

In this situation does Il seem worth
while TO create a privileged class.
especially protected. or alien enemies
whose. lives shaah be preserved at the
cost Of OUR. Spice might better
take their ah.ss of the general death

What Have You Got
Out Of the War?
BY Clyde D. Wilson
OF The vistlanfes.

YOU have been In the war one
year. But It is three thousand miles
away Have you got It yet? Or has
Il got you yet In It's sharp. impins:us
import; its full. ccsmic significancef
Or do you still grope for It. and crop
ing get nothing but etory-book blur?
Do you ever waken In the middle Of
the night with the horror upon you
that while you lie snug and secure
among soft. clean and clinging thiugs,
men overseas are slipping In the
blood OF their comrades and piling
dead. deep In heaps. one upon the
other? And have you high vows for
bigger. better service made at such a
time faded out 10 dfscredited dreams
and your monentary grasp OF It gone
again In the light and vigor of your
busy day
Dom, you get it-,his warg
Why?
Do you ever have the feeling come
over you like sudden chill that In
spite of what you are doing You are
doing nothing?
II Is familiar truth that We get
out OF Life just what We put into IT.
In your religious and social life do
you not find your pleasures. benefits.
and grasp OF basic tenets fluctuate
In the exact measure Of your interest
and personal contribution to the pro.
paganday
Do you ever awaken of a morning
to your daily duties only to shrink
from the gigantic problems and color
iese grind before you. and in an
hours t.rse SEQ the mountains shrink
to mole hills and the early drab per
spective glow and flame under the
fervor OF your own forced activity
There Is your answer.
Do more
Keep your night time vows In the
day time and your night time thrills
will remain with you. not to speak of

GOVERNMENT WILL
 RESTRICT PROFIT
 OF GRAIN DEALERS
Likelihood of Enlarged Ship ments From Interior Also Featureless-Oats Slant
 Upward on Sales

Chicago, September 26.-Decided weak ness in the corn market today resulted chiefly from announcement of govern ment measures to restrict grain dealers profit and from likelihood of enlarged re- ceipts. The close was heavy, 1ss027s net lower with october, s1.471sd1.4714, and November. s1. .44sq1. 44l.. Oats finished 1sc off to ssc up. provisions ranging from 1oc decline to 2hc advance.
 Word that the food administration had adopted definite schedule to which grain dealers profits would be confined, put corn bulls at an evident disadvan- tage. Denials of any official statement having been made that the government programme was likely to do away alto- gether with speculation failed to reassure buyers, especially as war advices were fa- vorable. Frost productions for tonight brought about a temporary upturn, but attention later focused on the increasing of a renewed liberal crop move- ment
 Oats averaged higher as a result of heavy sales of late to the government and to the exporters. Owing to the weak ness of corn, however, best prices were not maintained.
 Provisions were steadied by gossip that a minimum price on hogs would be estab- lished.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 26.--Moderate advances were made today by cotton as the result of continued favorable reports from Washington regarding price control. Rains in the belt and prospects of a cold wave after the rains also were stimulat- ing features. It was a quiet and steady market throughout, with an absence of the nervous spasms that have been so frequent of late. Opening at the advance the market mounted until it was Al to 53 points up Small recessions then oc- cured, but late in the session October was again at the highest. Closing prices were at net gains for the day of 27 to 46 points.
 The main feature of the Session. in the reports from Washington, was that tho purchasing committee recently appointed by the war industries board would not actually buy cotton, but would supervise distribution This caused buying of the best character.
 Rains were reported over considerable area in the cotton region and caused fear for the grade of open cotton. Fear was increased by the chances of frost in the northwestern portion of the belt The unfavorable weather conditions served to make october the strongest month.
