be the means to an end. It will place the Democracy of the coun- try on guard, for the great Pres idential election of 1920, when all of the achievements and ben efts of Democracy will be prom inently brought out and placed before the country. In the re- cent election the Democrats, be-
 sides having the pro-German crowd to contend with, were ham, dicapped, to some extent, by the heavy war-tax eXactions. It IS all old saying, ard a true one, that if you touch some peoples pocket ooks you touch their hearts, and for this reason some votes were lost to Democracy from the minimizing, unreasona- ble and unpatriotic voters. Men, who love their money more than
 kindred or country, voted against
 Democracy and their country's safety and glory, for purely . sel- fish motives. But, thanks to a
 wise President and prompt,
 forceful action, this war IS about over-the Hun has been subdu- ed and bereft of his strength and power, and with his demolition
 will come, through the Demo- cratic party of retrenchment and
 reform, a lessening of taxation, a revivication of all the great in- dustries of civil life; and before the next Presid ential election day rolls ar3u d pr'' pc -ity all 0 r this land will prevail, and D mocracy will ag 4in be rev r.l- ed by an overwhelming victory.

The premature peace celebra- ton, last week, only goes to prove what fools we moftals b." Not so much to blame were the deluied people for celebrat- ing the false news, that peace was declared, but for the wild md turbulent manner in which it was celebrated. So excited and crHy they became that they nadly rushed over one another and many serious injuries and several deaths occurred as a re suit of the celebration. People, like cattle. show the wild animal
 ature in them, on occasions, and
 aen once stamp eded they are ini to stop. If the news had oeen really true there was no ne- cessity for such extravagan demonstrations. Rejoicings would -'3e natural and timely; but to go log wild' and trample ene mother under foot was the ui n)st folly.
