FOR PERMANENT PEACE

The last address to congress by the
president is the most complete and
concrete statement of possible peace
terms for the settlement of the worlds
II speaks in no uncertain terms of
how this shall be accomplished. The
opinion of all political creods in the
United States are united in support of
the basic principles on which it Is
founded. Some republican senator's
are trying to read free trade into one
of the paragraphs, but others of a wild
er view are looking at ii as a world
document that has lot been surpassed
statement at any time during the war.
1t would seem from the foreign com
ment that its purpose can only be de
feated by the Germans holding out for
their present %conQuests and the re
tention of the ground they have talk
en- from Russia and France. On the
question Of Belgium, President Will
son speaks in a decided manner and
insists that she must be restored 10
her former position among the nations
of the world. Coming as it does, right
after the broad minded statement by
the British premier, it can be at nee
seen that the aims of the war for
which the Allies are fighting, are
world embracing in their breadth. It
is no selfish purpose that is stated. it
is no grasping intention that Is sup
ported, rather it Is the most peace sus-
tanning doctrine of world progress that
has been sanctioned by any govern
ment in the annals of history. The
closing sentences, which are placed at
the head Of our editorial column. are
the most solemn words in their deep
import, that have ever been uttered as
the pledge of a nations purpose.
Every real American must feel the
greatness of their meaning and real
lie the deep Christian spirit that per
vades them. A new Declaration of
Independence has been given forth,
yes, more than that-a new and posi-
tive Declaration for a World Peace.

UNSAFE SIDEWALKS

The accident to a visitor last week.
when a fall on an uncleaned sidewalk
placed her on a bed of pain, brings in
a very forceable way the present con
dition of u walks to public notice,
Even Main street in the two blocks Of
it's principal business section is not
free from dangerous places for pedes-
TRANS. Most of the way from the
First National Bank corner to the
City Hall has been like a skating rink
most Of the time, though credit must
be given for the clean walk in front
of the office of Fishback & Son. The
walks leading to and around the court
house have been a glare of ice when
the wind blows the loose snow off.
Because the snow has not been a foot
or more deep at any time so far this
wear. there seems to have been less
attention paid to the condition of our
walks than ever before. There is a
little ice on the Register sidewalk. but
with that there is plenty Of walk clean
for a pedestrian to find a safe place

4 strong note of optimism is con
tanned in a statement just given out
by William II. Rankin of the VIM. II.
Rankin Co. of New York on the out
look for the new year as viewed from
the standpoint of the business man
and the advertiser. That newspaper
advertising during the year 1917 has
done "more than its share" to help
win the war is the belief of Mr.. Ran
kin. who points out that while the
government itself has used non Of
its appropriations for newspaper add
vertising. business men, bankers and
clerRymon have all pleaded their N
qualified endorsement on the economic
as well as the educational value OF
full page newspaper advertising. Re
suits have proven their judgment was
good" he says. "These men showed
not only their faith in newspaper ad-
vertising to bring the desired results
but they backed their faith with their
own dollars in payment for this adj
vertising as a patriotic contribution
to our government

a safe foothold. and if the walks were
cleaned off as is provided by the city
ordinance it would be even better. If
the late victim Of civic carelessness
does sue the city for damages it will
not fall very heavy on any one per
son, but it does cast a nasty cloud
over our public reputation, especially
as We are all the time inviting people
from all over the state to come and
visit the State college. If We want
people to come to Broohine- We
should at least make it safe for them
in the daytime.

THE KAISER'S BAD DREAM

The following poem was published
without any credit for authorship, and
we reprint it because Of its magma
tive suggestion Of what seems true
10 many an American:
There's a story I'm told, tho stronec
it may seem,
How the Great Kaiser Bill had a won
dcrful dream,
He was dreaming of Allies as he lay
in his bed,
When his dream switched about and
he dreamed he was dead.
In a palace most fine he was laying
in state,
And thousands were there. though
none mourned his fate.
His soul buzzed about and found 70
his cost,
That he and his soldiers were doomed
to be lost
He wouldn't believe it, so to Heaven
went straight.

THE CROW'S=NEST

Quite often you will near some one
remark that it is his opinion that the
great wal will come to an end within
a few months. He has no good rea-
son for his opinion. only a feeling that
il must soon be over with. 1t matters
not how one feels about the neal adj
vent of peace. for the reason that i
will not help us in gaining the kind
of a victory that is desired. We are
in this war and must help fight it TO
the finish. The way to do that is to
keep on preparing as if the struggle
will last for two or more years yet.
Let us keep our hastily formed
opinions to ourselves and do all that
we can to further a vigorous prose-
cution of the war up to the point of
a victorious end. Our expressions of
beliefs and feelings may interfere
with food conservation plans n 9th
err Liberty loans.
Frequent mention is made in the
papers about the activities of what

clubs are restricted in membership to
one representative from each trade,

poses Of these clubs are to boost their
home towns and incidentally to pat.
