Children to Tag Coal Shovels

The Fuel Administration expects
school children throughout the country
to do the tagging work on Tag Your
Shovel-Day" which has been set for
January 80, planning to make it a

In this extra effort to save coal for
war purposes the Fuel Administration
will try to get tag on every coal
shovel in the country. On the face of
each tag are the words: ''Save that
shovelful of coal a day for Uncle Sam. "
On the reverse side are hints for saw
ing coal.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Spirit of Thankfulness

\ When life loses all its zest
y Though you try to do your BEST
And there seems to be mountain in your way,
? Look around and see the
8 Other people have to bear,
Then be thankful
When your sky seems dull and grey
AS you plod from day to day
|? Just to CLEAN scant existence in the ranks,
Watch the other bear his cross,
Learn about his grief and loss,
Then be thankful
When you feel that you have done
All you could and still not won.
{ And despair has set its fangs upon your throat,
Don't give up; silver lining
Just behind the clouds is shining,
y So be thankful
You have had some love and gain,
g To us all come and rain;
Lifes dependent only on your point of view.
Though you may have missed lot,
Just remember what you've got,
And be thankful.

retire and the critics take over
the conduct of the war in their
place. But in our government
such loss of confidence would
have no such consequence. II
would simply give the snipers
free scope to shoot the govern

tinued as best it could to conduct
the war. For these reasons we
feel sure that the common sense
and patriotism of the American
people at the coming election will
sustain the president and rebuke

Shipping the Administration

1t has been evident for some
time past that the political cam
paign which will end next Novem-
Der and involves the election of a
new house of representatives and
one-third of the senators is to be
waged on the side of the opposi-
ton by sniping at the president.
Col. Roosevelt in his controversy
with the postmastergeneral makes
that clear. He aspires to be the
leader of the republican party in
stead of Mr.. Hughes, or Taft, or
Elihu Root, or any of the republi-
can leaders who have been sup
porting the president in his war
policies, and his leadership seems
to be welcomed by the politician
class in his party who are partisans
first and patriots afterwards.
And the whole tenor of Col.
Roosevelt's remarks in recent
months is to asail President Will
son and discredit him with the
people as a man who is insincere
and incompetent at one and the
same time, and therefore unfit to
manage the country during a
great war. Not all the republican
leaders are following Col. Roose-
velt's lead in this respect and we
are pretty sure that a majority of
the rank and file of the republican
party give no approval to such
tactics. With them the winning
of the war is the first considera-
ton. Ofcourse Roosevelt and his
followers insist that they also put
that first but their acts are not
consistent with their profession.
If this country was governed as
Great Britain is, and a discredited
war manager had to resign and
those who overthrow him take
office and responsibility, if would
not be so unpatriotic to try and
destroy the confidence of the
people in the sincerity and COM
/
potency of the government. But
in our system of government
President Wilson and his advisers
must continue in charge of the
government for nearly three
years more in any event. To
destroy the confidence of the
nation in that government for
political effect in the next
presidential election, and to
tie his hands meantime by a
hostile house and senate, which .
seems to be the end aimed at by
Roosevelt and his followers,
would therefor be simply to re-
tard and hinder The prosecution
OF war. The parties who succeed Z
ed in doing this would take on no S
responsibility Of the conduct Of 4
the war themselves. They would
simply throw brickbats at the
government thai must carry it on =

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

~ HE American people have
VI steeled their hearts for a
war to the finish. They
want no half way job. They
are not counting the cost in men
or money. Proof of this is
found in the fact of the univer-
raj readiness to accept such
revenue measures as the gov
ernment provides and in the
calmness with which we read
the daily casualty lists. Every
day northwest names appear
in the lists of killed and wound
ed. But it is all in the game
and people so accept it. 1t
would be better for US all to
die, for civilization to be wiped
from the face of the earth than
to endure domination by a ma
ton with the degraded and
bestial ideals of the Hun auto
cracy. This is not. propagan-
ida, it is the cold and naked
truth. The world is at last
awake to the meaning of Prus-
sian aims and it is resolved that
Prussianism shall not triumph.
America has become a
changed nation. Our peaceful
people have learned that the
aspirations and principles of
the republic are jeopardiZed.
They did not come to such a
conclusion until the evidence
was complete and unanswer-
able. They are now convinc-
ed and this conviction steels
the heart for any sacrifice re-
quired.
The cost of the war is the /
price of freedom.

THE HIDDEN COUNTRY

q INCE the first week of
- August, 1914, when the
Hunnish hordes swept
over the border, the independ-
ent grand duchy of Luxem-
burg has been a hidden coun-
try, remarks the Cleveland
Plain-Dealer. No one has
come out of Luxembourg, no
news has leaked through; and
of course no one but Huns have
gone in. There was a story
that the reigning grand duch-
ess, a beautiful girl of twenty
years, tried to blockade a little
bridge at the frontier with her
grand ducal automobile. AS
she would not bulge for the
commands of the Hunnish off
GERS, a sergeant and a squad Of
grinning boches lifted automO-
bile, grand duchess and all,
out of the road. Thus was ac-
the invasion and
of Luxenburg.
