FACE IT BRAVELY.

Death borders upon our birth and our cradle
stands in the grave ''Men must endure their
going hence, evan as their coming and to
those left behind affiction should be one OF the
Wholesome soils of virtue, where faith, forth
tnde and patience take root and flourish. Dur
ing the past few months the thought OF death,
not as something far away in hazy future but
AZ present and actual, has been constant and
rnal in the minds of the mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers Of the men we have sent
tower there as answer to the call OF right
and humanity. Our young men have been
called upon to go into battle and offer their
bodies and their lives. The call was glorious
summons and it gloriously answered.
These young men have seen death, others are
vet to see it, on every side, in every form, multi
piled almost beyond belief They went know
ingly and in surety that there was point of
danger to be faced and that the ''going hence
might be for them. Yet none faltered.
As the great struggle proceeds the list of
casualties deaths-in the ranks of the Amer1-
can armies will grow. Even now it is gradually
Ienethening and later it doubtless will contain
the names of those near and dear to many read
ers of this newspaper. The inevitable cannot be
avoided. Whatever Of grief there may be at
the loss of a loved one surely may be assuaged,
Dghtened, by the thought of splendid ending

OBITUARY..
IContributed.l

Many friends in this city, of Mrs.
Amelia Owsley Craig, widow of the
Rev. DR.. Willis G. Craig, will be
grieyed to hear of her death. Mrs.
Craig died at her home in Danville.
Kentucky, July 10, after a brief i'll
ness. One of her sons writes loving
ly to a friend in Keokuk Of his
mother:
"She was laid to rest in the beau
tiful old cemetery at Danville along
side my father and several of her
children who have gone before. Some
one has cut upon the monument be-
meath my fathers name the inscrip'
tion, A Defender OF the Faith AS
l looked upon these words and upon
this temporary resting place of the
mortal bodies of these two, l thanked
God for my parents. They possessed
in equal degree that strong unwaver-
ing child-like faith which asks not
why. Gods word was their rule OF
faith and practice.
my mother visited me for several
weeks last summer. Her mind seem
ed to run much on earlier days and
we spent many hours discussing Keo-
kuk days. Her affection for her dear
friends there and for the city which
was the scene of the most active part
of her life was not dimmed by time.
She took keen delight in calling the
old days to mind-always in terms
of the greatest affection for persons
and things"
DR.. Craig was pastor of Westmin.
ster church from 1852 to 1882. All
their children were born in Keokuk.
Few families have left more elevating
impression upon the life of the city
than this minister and his moss
worthy mistress of the manse.

the end of a day of toll, their output
was too small and they were con-
demned to twenty -four hours in the
steam cell, and now let Major Fox
complete the story. THE steam CELL,
he said, is small, and when the men
are inside and the door closed, hot
steam Is turned on, and there is no
release for twelve hours. At the end
of twelve hours, the door was opened,
and the strongest of the three was
able to walk out, and pull a half
conscious brother after him. The
third was dead Soup was given to
the survivors, and then they were or
dered back, the stronger of the two
being ordered to carry the other one.
He refused. One brother he said,
died last light; I will not carry an
other one in to die The German ser.
geant In charge, for a reply, took his
rife and shot the half-stupified
his comrade."
| Now this was not an isolated case
! of barbarity, the depraved device Of
! some German soldier The steam cell
is apparently recog nized German in
stitution. 1t is one OF many such in
stitutions, all of which have, SO far
as any known protest to the contrary
goes to show, the full approval and
recognition Of the German people.
This, indeed, is the very essence OF
all those enormities which have pass
ed into common parlance under the
name of German outrages. They
! have the sanction of the German peo-
pie. There is no use In railing against
them, still less Is to be gained by Pro-
tests. They should, however, be noted.
not because they are outrageous acts
but because they are rz5ra'in, acts.
because, week by week, as the war
goes on, the full stature of Germany
is being revealed, as is also the stand
| ing of those who would help her, di-
rectly or indirectly, openly or covert
lly. Thus are men learning the full
task that lies before them. Those who
are fighting on the side of right In
| this war cannot afford to lose sight
OF these things. However bitter the
task may be, they must resolutely put
themselves in the way of gauging the
extent of the evil to be overcome, and
! of which an end must surely lie made.

Colonel David Moore, In command

his forces to meet the assault and

shattered. My brother and brother

ID. Prentiss and many of his com

in tho evening. when they were COM
pletefy surrounded and forced to sur
render. That night he slept between
two confederate generals. and in the
early evening he said to his captors
that the tide of battle would go the
other way next day, and soon the
cannons OF General Buell. and his
army were sounding and the battle
closed for the first day. Grants
army was pushed back to the Ten

moralized. The arrival of Bue1l's

ASHAMED OF THE NAME.

Citizens of Bismarck, N. D., insist that the
psychological time to change the name OF their
busting city has arrived. ''What did that old
Hun ever do for u.s. indignant townsrnen ask,
that we should name our city for him?" And
no satisfactory answer has been reported. lie
was powerful personality, and while the Prus-
sian iunkers Of today make him seem almost
respectable by contrast, his influence was alto
gether maign. He gave direction to affairs
which led to this conflict, and but for the wars
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT he brought on by intrigue,
forged kilograms or open undisguised aggres-
sion, Germany would not have been strong
enough or brazen enough to defy the whole
civilized world. The fact that he was man
of eminent sagacity and forcefulness is no sui
ficient reason for naming city for him. Satan
was all that, according to the best authorities
but no American community has named itself
for him. Five states, it Is true, have Neros
within their borders; but he lived SO long age
that the name has largely lost its evil assocla-
tons and kindly people often name good dogs
after him with no intention OF rejecting on
their canine character. As for the single Herod
in the country, it is content to bear its name
because it is located in darkest Egypt-Pope
county, Illinois. But to return to Bismarck
seven states have postofices Of that name, and
| if their citizens can agree upon a better one
they would do well to do so; for it will be many
wears before the name ceases to invite slurrlng
and derisive remarks

CoNTRoL OF SHIPPING.

The question of government control OF IrdIls-
portation in war time and the return TO pr1Vate
operation when peace comes commands as mncn
attention in England as In the United states,
and there is in both countries pretty clear
understanding of the Importance OF an early re-
turn of shipping and railroad properties to tnelr
owners The matter of ship control is discuss
ed at length in a report prepared by COM
mittee of the British Board of Trade. That
a measure of public control was necessary in the
circumstances brought about by the war is ad-
mitted, but the committee says that the funda-
mental conditions of reconstruction is the re-
moyal of government operation and control
from shipping Saying that such control al
ways tends to paralyZe Individual effort, the
committee adds: cit is our conviction that
any departure from the princirle OF relying on
private enterprise would be a dangerous ex-
pertinent and blunder of the worst KIND. :
Recommendations by the committee call 1or
the release of privately owned shipping from
government operation and control as soon as
the war ends and for an arrangement oy winch
any advantage enjoyed by foreign shipowners
as regards rates shall cease when peace Is de-
clared.
While England's commercial bodies and men
of affairs were pointing out the Importance OF
bringing government control to an end as soon
as the war is over conference committee OF
the United States congress was agreeing on
bill that gives the president as complete power
over shipping in time of war as that exercised
by an autocratic government This measure
authorizes the president to take over ships or
charter them at rates fixed by himself. No OBJ
lection has been raised nor will one be made to
any grant of power necessary to win the war.
But in the United States, in England 1t is
necessary to keep in mind the high Importance
of making adequate provision for the prompt
return to private operation of transportation
facilities when the war is over. The American
people should not be less alert than the Brit
Iish public in the matter of seeing that control
of ships, railroads and wires does not pave the
way for permanent government operation.

The increase in wages of railroad shopmen,
which has been granted by Director General
McAdoo, while somewhat less than the labor
organizations asked, is substantial. The ad-
vances apply to about fifty Thousand men and
to wages earned since January first. Of
course the railroad administration is bound to
consider the higher cost of living when fixing
wages At the same time, it should see that
no undue increase is made. If it fails to do this,
it will encourage the making of unreasonable
demands in other employment fields and handi-
cap not only private enterprise but the govern
ment itself The point is important at a time
when the government is rapidly extending its
control of industry.
