WAR IS WIPING OUT SELF
 ISHNESS

It is apparent that selfishness is on the decline in the world.
 Those persons who never knew what 1t was to assist any cause with dollar or a turn of their hand have been forced to dig into their purses and to roll up their sleeves for the public good. If nothing else, public opinion and a feeling of shame have driven many who were wrapped up in them selves to do little something for the whole people.
 The partial banishment of that mean and lowly selfishness that is the bane of society as contrasted with the larger selfishness upon which depends SC much of mans advancement may be one of the mighty results of the war. The eradication of base selfishness Is one of the requisites to the poetical conception of the federation of man kind

MEN IN SERVICE TO GET
 BEST POSTS

The boys who are in the National army and navy now, and who will be in that army before the war is over, are going to run this United States for more than a generation to come.
 Young men who do not join the serv- ice might as well take back seat now, for after the war that is precisely where they will be pushed. Before the war is over several million young men will have been in the two branches. They will return to the walks of peace members of a huge brotherhood of those who fought. They will have saved the nation by the might of their arms, and they will feel that they are entitled to consideration.
 After the Civil war for many years it was difficult for a young man to rise in either public or private life un- less he had been in the Grand Army of the Republic.
 The same thing is sure to occur after this war. So, young man, if you want to get a reserved seat at the table of public favor, the place is at recruiting headquarters.
 A few years after the war people will look askance at you unless you served in the hour of your countrys peril

REPRESENTATIVES PEO.
 PILE FORGED OUT.

The Russian constituent assembly, elected by the people to draw up laws for the nation, met for few hours. Then it ceased to be. The Bolsheviki were in a minority, and they refused to play. When the majority decided to continue the meetings, the Bolshe, wiki dissolved the sessions by force.
 Poor Russia! She will have to suf- fer much, it seems.
 The men elected to establish gov. ernment have been dismissed by those who have no right to tell them what they may or may not do. But the Bolshevih now have the power, and il harbors i'll for those who oppose them too strongly.

AMMUNITION FOR HUN
 PROPAGANDA.

Something should be done to pro. tect the nation from people who have gone to seed on certain questions.
 A petition has been presented to President Wilson signed by many wo- men urging the chief executive to do all in his power to stop polygamy in this nation from being an outcome of the war.
 There is about as much danger of polygamy getting a foothold in the United States as there is that some of the wild men from Saturn will des- cend upon us and wreck our ciyiliza- tiOn.
 The petition will get a hearty laugh in this country, but it will not be overlooked in Berlin. Stories of the breakdown of AngIo-Saxon morality will be set in motion by German agents, and probably accounts of anI uprising of American women will be invented.
 The war is likely to result in a stric- ter rather than in a looser morality.I Anyway, the Anglo-Saxon regard for womankind and the system of mon agamous marriage has been too long in building and is too firmly tmbed- ded in our nature and in our laws to he tnnDlnd over hV war Or hv anUthi ing else than can be imagined.

in session, solemnly getting down to business, one delegate jumped from seat and tried to slaughter a fellow member. A revolver was taken away from him before he could fire it.
 Many revolvers may be fired and many Russians slain by their fellow citizens before the unhappy people, trying to assert their power, to put their wishes into law, and to form a stable state, are able to make head way against the elements of disorder and anarchy.
