The Gain

What can be worth this cost of gold and tears,
These lands laid desolate with fire and blood
This ruin past the mending Of our years,
These generations bighted in the bud?
To seek until we find reality;
To know ourselves our brothers, and our Lord
In our own hearts to feel the searching sword
That kills the false, however dear it be.
0 God! give us to know
The holy heart Of suffering, and kneel
To give Thee solemn thanks that we can feel
A little of the pain that these have borne
Who for Thy sake the crown of thorns have worn
We dare not say-"Be ours as Belgium's heart
Ours as the heart of Francev' We only pray,
Help us to do our part,
And to the children of brighter day
Give an enduring peace that shall not stay
From Thy dear law of Love, what-ere befall-
God, that were worth it all.

CONSCRIPTING FARM HELP

The move may come and quickly SO when farm
labor will be conscripted It is fact that many
able bodied men perfectly able to do farm work
have passed the military age. There is no good
reason, however, why they should not do their
part in this war and labor zealously on farms
instead Of swapping stories on street corners
and in billiard halls. A man can be a Stacker and
be an exempted citizen at the same time. If the
need arises which it is very likely to- the Herald
favors the conscription Of able-bodied help for
farm work and whether or not a man has enough
money to keep himself has no more bearing than
whether or not soldier boy has an income or
not. We must all do our part-not just the boys.

PUT ON THE DAMPER

The Herald was quietly advised the other day
to put damper on war talk. The advice was we'll
meant but that is not the point-the inference
should be answered. *.@
The Herald in common with hundreds of
other papers in this state is patriotic news
paper. This means that we, one and all, must do
our utmost for our government in this war. There
is not to our knowledge one unpatriotic editor
in this county. There is not one editor who would
subserve his manhood and the truth as he sees
it to be lickspittle and cur in this struggle.
If, in our opinion, the newspapers have erred
it is on the side of moderation. The Herald will
at all times endeavOr to be fair and open mind
ed 1t will not in the slightest degree re-
frain from telling the truth as it sees it or in any
sense put the damper of fear on it's columns. To
this we subscribe ourselves.

The Father-Land

The Father-Land
What is the true mans father-land?
Is it the soil where he is born?
Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders to be spanned?
On yes, his father-land must be
AS the blue heaven, wide and free
Is it alone where freedom is,
Where God is God, and man is man?
Doth he not claim a broader span
For the souls love of home than this?
Oh yes his father-land must be
AS the blue heaven, wide and free
Where'er human heart doth wear
joys myrtle-wreath, or sorrows gives,
Where'er human spirit strives
After life more pure and fair,
There is the true mans birthplace grand,
His is worldwide father-land!
Whereer single slave doth pine,
Where'er one man may help another
Thank God for such a .birth-right brother
That spot of earth is thine and mine!
There is the true mans birthplace grand,
His is worldwide father-land!

to understand English and that for this reason
alone they preach in German. They also point
out that many of the younger members cannot
understand German and that as time goes on
this influence will compel the use of English
The reasons seem plausible and it seems reas-
enable to leave the matter to evolution. There is
and will be little immigration from Germany A
generation SO wipes out the old ties with near
~ every race and there is little fear for the
future. In conclusion it may be said that as
long as any foreign language is not used as a
cloak for sedition there is no real objection to
it's use. Should foreign language be used as
such a cloak it should be Immediately suppressed.

inmost heart to do your very best for your coun-
try in this war? You may see battle line
or hear the sound Of gun but you can be just
as fine and brave soldier as though you were
in France Howl you say. In thousand ways.
If you are a man you can bend every thought
and deed to your countrys cause. You can abide
by war regulations with cheerfuness You can
purchase Liberty bonds You can give to the
Red Cross. And most important--you can be
champion Of that Grand Old Flag every minute
Of your waking life, If you are a woman there is
a great work for you too. You can join that

ROOSEVELT AND BAKER

Teddy seems to thrive under abuse and gives
as cheerfully as he takes. To his credit be it
said that Hon. N @. Baker, Teddy's "bete noir,"
seems to do equally well beneath the gaff and
smiles as sweetly as ever AS old jim in Huckle-
berry Finn, opined, Maybe pap is partly right
and maybe the widow is partly right, or words
to that effect. Roosevelt has four sons in the
American army and all are on the fighting lines.
There is a vast difference, therefore, between
criticism coming from man like Roosevelt than
from a man like LaFollette, for instance. Until
he is placed on the war board Roosevelt has earn
ed the right to say what he thinks and noncha-
liant Washington may walk more on it's tiptoes
knowing, as it now does that the big stick may
fall at any moment.
THE FUEL ORDER
A regulation so drastic and sweeping as that Of
Fuel Administrator Garfield, taking in as it does,
every manufacturing plant and business east of
the Mississippi river and the states of Mime
sofa and louisiana, cannot but work great deal
of hardship. 1t may only be said that in the
opinion of the president and his advisers such
a step was necessary. Without doubt it was care
fully considered from every angle before being
promulgated In substance, we believe, it was
meant to chiefly relieve seaboard congestion and
to reduce eastern factory production to point
commensurate with shipping facilities. In effect
it has perhaps done these things and also created
hardship in many activities where no good would
result. On the other hand there was hardly any
place to draw the line except by chopping it off
short. We must all submit

edge and with no special training for

acter of the schools will inevitably
deteriorate and the time of the chill
dren and the money appropriated for
education will be to large extent
wasted. It is, therefore, very Inn

many years to come there should be
more students in these schools for

there have ever been. Thousands
