realize that the longer that party retains

Young Roosevelt's Death.

The feeling OF regret over the death of
Quentin Roosevelt, son of ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt, Is spontaneous and
universal Not because he was the son
of a man who has held the highest Office
within the disposition of the American
people, but by reason Of his own worth
and his own accomplishments
All the four Roosevelt boys showed up
well when the test of war came. They
eagerly proffered their services, and each
in his line made good record of hard work
and hard fighting. Archie Roosevelt is
now on his way home, grievously wounded
in battle. The other two are still in the
service Not for an instant did any Of
these boys endeavor to presume, or seek
undue advancement, by reason of their
family connection All bent themselves
resolutely to the demands of the service
and nothing else.
The generous sympathy Of the country,
indeed, of the entire world, viii be ex-
tended TO the stricken parents Their
loss is the greatest, their sorrow will be
the deepest. As for the young man who
has fallen a victim TO wars exactions
il will ever be a tribute to his memory
that he met his fate brsvely fighting z
superior enemy force a German all
squadron against his solitary machine
and thai he gave his life for noble cause

The Future Of Belgium.

But last week, Chancellor Won Hertlng,

We must have guarantees against being

guarantees against future penis from

So now, Belgium, IN the German view,

The work Of repairing the Philadelphia
pike necessarily stops travel on that
thoroughfare between Wilmington and
the Pennsylvania hnc and It has been
diverted to roundabout roads in Brandy
wine hundred These roads lead to
Wilmington. but the detour wastes time
Also. the by-roads are not IN good con

Tor this undesirable situation the blame
rests entirely upon the Levy Court.
Had hat body done ITS duty, wears ago,
the Philadelphia pike would not have
been permitted to get into such de
plorable condition as it has been IN for
several years. But the Levy Court was
impotent, and so were the people OF

RESPONSIBILITY

The old lden changes,
We have slowly come to sec,
He who Journey DER life s ranges,
l. not care and duty free
There were davs that We seemed blinded
BY the light of pleasure sun
But today were serious minded
There are tasks thai must be done.
Life is not round of pleasure,
Not a time for frivol pay,
IT is more than earning treasure
And then tossing It away.
II IL sacrifice and labor.
IT, is struggling for goal
IL Is battling with sabre
For the beauty OF the soul
We are thinking dcep and dcepers
Az we march along today.
Each is now his brothers keeper,
Each must build the better way.
There are hours for honest laughter,
There are DAYS for gentle fun,
But we know now they come after
An the SERIOUS tasks arc done
Never moro our souls shall tarnlsh
In tho idle dayq of case,
We have scraped beneath the varnlsh
In this struggle overseas.
And hy every splrc and stceple
That IA rllscd unto the Rky
We are coming through. people
With ideals worth keeping high,
