Bryan'S AmpricaniSm
(GuStine Gazette)


 Many people havo not always agreed with MT. Bryan in his views, but every true American will agree with his lat est--that the way to end the war is to go through it. "Through'' is the word. But put an 70" in it and make it thorough too.
 MT, Bryan, whose ambition to be president has been supported moro than once by State Press-notwith- standing which he didn't have support enough-Mr Bryan, whose heart is true as it is tender, wishes the war ended as soon as possible, but not to the disadvantage of his own country. In that respect he differs from many of the so-called pacifists whose paci- fism is dislOyalty in disguise. HaVin 2 put it's hand to the blow, the United States will stay in the furrow until the rows end is reached. And it will be reached, sooner or later, with credit and honor to this great and free and unselfish people, Let no faint heart doubt. let no disloyalist intervene if he values his freedom.

Condensed Philosophy.
Milwaukee Journal. )

Don't refuse to accept crumbs of comfort because they are not wl%is bakeries of bliss
 When man goes fishing he may not catch long string, but he is sure to come home with a long yarn.
 Good fiannels and good soldiers do not shrink.
 Too late for the evil of today is the remedy of tomorrow.
 When a woman plans to do sr1y- thing out of the ordinary she always wonders what the neighbors will say.
 Every man with a firm will makes the world over to suit himself.
 Shiftless people are never the ones who worry about it.
 A gentleman is a human being com bining a woman's gentleness and a mans courage.
 The rich man who has nothing to do and the poor, man who can get nothing to do are to be pitied.
 Don't wait for great opportunities. A long continuous walk will get you over more ground than a short run.
 Most of our mistakes would never be noticed if we did not call atten- ton to them.
 New styles are old ones that peo- pie have forgotten.

BRAZIL HAS SPY SCARE.
All Foreigners and Strangers Under
 Suspicion.

Rio Grando Do Sul, Brazil. Dec 31 (COrrespondence of the Associated Press) Brazil, now that it has en- tered the war, is having it's spy scare, and it has become more genral even than in some of the other belligerent countries. It is only necessary for d person to be a foreigner and a stranger in any Brazilian town to be- come the object of suspicious regard by the people and even of police sur veillanCc.
 Orders have gone out from Rio de Janciro for the arrest of largo numbers of Germans, many of whom appear to be innocent business men, although there is no doubt but that German espionage is well organized in Southern Brazil. Spies are reported to have been especially active in the state of San Paulo and the govern mcnt has taken rigid measures for watching all suspects there.
 As soon as the government began these measures of precautions, how ever, a large number of rich and well known German business men who, under suspicion of being German gov ernment agents, succeeded in escap- ing into the Argentine Republic with whatever secrets they may have had.

general public endorsement and SUD- port as have gone into DankruptcN from all other combined causes. Fewer publications are nowadays meeLlhS this fate, however. May 1t not very properly be held that public sentiment is at last rising to the place occupled so long by the press? If this be ad- mitted what vast credit must be given Journalism for the development or morals thus occurring!
 A quarter of a century ago there were numerous publications of gen eral class catering to a public taste for salacious reading. The news stories these papers contained were all
 of a suggestive nature. and much or
 the matter was employed in black
 mailing activities carried on by the publishers. This class of newspapers was abhorrent to journalism general
 ly Why do they exist? Because of
 the profits they earned-for there
 never was periodical of this charac- ter which did not have a tremendous circulation at a larger subscription price than reputable newspapers com
 manded. The public taste for such
 matter made tho shameless periodi-
 calls possible. In time, honest jour nalism brought the shortcomings of the unclean sheets so clearly home to the people that public sentiment changed, general opposition to the
 publications was developed, and they were finally denied the use of the mails. Their end promptly followed. The American press is undoubtedly improving in tone and character. It leads today in the demand for clean liness in all things It has made pub lie sentiment constantly better. It has advanced itself through advancing morality everywhere.

The Bishop Likes WaffIes.

The late Bishop Dudley, of Ken lucky, used to relate with much relish an amusing experience that he once had in connection with Waffles, says The Youths Companion" At a fine old Virginia homestead, where he was a frequent guest, the wafflcs were all ways remarkably good.
 One morning, as breakfast drew near an end, the tidy little linen coated black boy who served at table approached the bishop and asked, in a low voice:
 Bishop, won't " havc'n'cr waffle ?'
 Yes" said the genial bishop, ''I be- licve l will
 ''Doy ain't no mo-" said the boy.
 'WelI" exclaimed the surprised gentleman, Eff there aren't any more waffles, what made you ask me if I wanted another one?"

DOING AWAY WITH COAD.
Given a GOodIy Goldfish Bowl, Expert Swimmers, end 2 Piece of Wire,
 Any Man Can Do This.

CDon Marquis in the New York Even-
 ing .Sun,)
 We have been heating our own house by means of a, bowl of gold fish for the past week. We still have a few pounds of coal left, but we are saving it for the next cold spell, and in the meantime we are using the gold fish.
 We set the bowl of goldfish in the firepOt of the furnace, and then we sit down on a barrel in front of the open furnace with a thin piece of wire in our hands.
 We tickle the goldfish under their chins with the piece of wire and they begin to swim rapidly round and round in tho bowl.
 After an hour or so the friction generated by the goldfish in swimming warns the water.
 When the water becomes very warm one can quit tickling the gold fish because they swim then because the warm water stinGs them they try to get away from it.
 But they can't get away from il because they are in the bowl, and the warmer the water gets the faster the goldfish swim, and the faster the gold liSli SWllll Lilc Wt1 1IlSl CllS WtISI SSl9, and the warmer the water gets the faster the goldfish swim
 And the faster the goldfish swim the warmer the water gets
 And so on. round and round and round.
 Until after a while steam is rising from the goldfish bowl.
 Then, first having bored a hole in the pipes that communicate with the radiators all over the house so that the steam can get into them, you shut the furnace door and go to bed. It is our custom to open the fur mace door and throw a fresh goldfish into the bowl the first thing in the morning. The old goldfish swell as they boil and must be taken out with a long handled fork. Bu1 after you have fixed your fur mace for the day you always have a boiled goldfish ready for breakfast, and thus you help out the food admin strator as well as the fuel adminis- trator. And there are no ashes to dispose of.
 But we suppose now that we have l made the idea public the price of gold l fish will go up.

Progress of Air Fighting.
(New York TimeS).

Attentive readers of the war news must have noticed that the dispatches describing the work of the aviators on the various fronts no longer deal to any such extent as in the past with single conbats, man to man. This means that aerial warfare, like that on land, has developed in an unex- pected direction and is fast losing it's picturesque and romantic features.
 The fiers, nowadays, do com para lively little of the solitary hunting for solitary antagonists that gave them fame as "aCes.' Instead, they work in carefully organized groups, the members of which are expected to show up not independence and in itiative, but the ability to carry out with exactness plans minutely laid out for them by superiors who never quit the ground
 Each member of the group has an assigned part and place in it's opera tions, and usually they are divided, some flying at a great height, some at moderate one, and the rest up only a few hundred feet. In other words, they have 'nanks' just as do terrestrial fighters, but the Hanks are up and down. not at right and left. They must be guarded none the less on that account. and som etimes they are turned" with the familiar disas- trous results.
 Aviation is become a "serVice" like another, and it's principle is co-opera- ton. Thence will come military re- suits, but not much, or at any rate not so much, of fame for individual aViatOrS

Mai. J. c. Vincent shares with Ma Jor Hall the distinction of creating the famous motor that is expected to prove an important factor in winning the war. Major Vincent declares that the Liberty motor is the most power lul englno ever manufactured. Though he refused to state it's horse power in definite figures, he did go so Tar as to say that it is far more powerful than any other motor ever constructed or even contemplated. contrary to common belief about the new motor, it is not being used for automo obiles, Major Vincent said. It is being installed only in airplanes, and in only those airplanes that are being sent abroad. Major Vincent be- fore entering the national service was vice president of the Packard Motor car company of Detroit.

 'rNo American need blush for the moral tone of the newspaper that goes into his home"
 Thus spake Joseph F. Berry, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church and himself a former editor, in a re- cent address. It was @ clear-cut, manly tribute to the wholesomeness of the average American newspaper. For. of course, the bishop did not intend to convey the idea that every newspaper in the land was clean and inspirational He gave praise to the press as a whole, and he added that the newspapers are growing ever better with the passing years.
 "I attach tremendous significance, Bishop Berry declared, ito tho re- markable change in the tone of the American newspaper. A sign of the times, too, is the rising quality of the American newspaper editorial. The change is a monument to the onward progress of American ideals"
 There is a thought in connection with the statements of Bishop Berry which may not occur to the average critic-friendly or othcrwise-Who is commenting upon the moral standing of the press. This is the fact that tho newspapers of America have always stood for the best things. AS many newspapers have in the past failed because the ideals which they ad- vanced were too wholesome to receive
