There were occasions during the
recent war, and long after the war
had been in progress, that parties
were met who, through being So
cially isolated, did not know of
the existence of the worldwide

present world-social and moral
situation. Every man, however is

LEGION POSTS WARNED.

The American Legion in meeting in
st. Louis steered clear of traps to
secure expression upon many mooted
questions, the Legion believing it best
to await the return Of the army before

the men. Some of the subjects may
come up for discussion at the general
conference to be held in Philadelphia.
But in the meantime the small posts
throughout the country are cautioned
concerning action. The official pub

The action by the post directors is
being condemned by more or less of

There will be plenty of pitfalls for

SELFIsHNEss OF CLASSES.

Anyone who looks over newspaper
and other expressions of opinion from
class and trade sources, must be i'm
pressed by the spirit of selfishness
commonly displayed. The organs of
the capitalists seem anxious only to
have the rights of property preserved.
The organs of labor are clamoring for
advantages for the unions, regardless
of other elements. Farm papers can
see only the interests of the farmers.
Trade journals seem to consider solely
the welfare of one trade.
Everyone must remember that the
community at large has interest, far
greater than that of any single class.

A member of the camp discovered
one of the bull-snakes engaged in a
battle with a RATHER. down in an
arroyo a few yards from the camp
The word was passed around quickly
and soon the whole personnel of the
camp, including the cook, occupied
reserved seats on the bank of the
arroyo, watching the tactics of the two
opponents.
The RATHER lay coiled on the sand
below, intermittently making vicious
jabs at its enemy, which simply con-
tinued circling around and around
just out of range. Finally the bull
snake, as II losing interest in the
fight and giving up the battle. began
to glide away. The RATHER imme-
diately uncoied its length and made
for his hole nearby. Then, like a
flash, the bull-snake flung himself
straight backward. grasped the rat
tier by the nape of the neck. and coil
ed himself about his enemy's body.
Then he began constructing process
which ended in the RATHER being pull
ed to pieces and left dead on the field.

FROM BAD TO WORST.

William Jennings Bryan has said
recently that the time is coming when
the functions of the newspaper will
be taken over by the government The
government will dispense the news he
says, after labelling it correct"
Thus, Mr.. Bryan. is advocating as
permanent policy precisely what was
done in Germany and Austria. while
those countries were conspiring
against the liberties Of the world. II
was in this way that Diaz controlled
Mexico. 1t is the only way by which
despotism can exist anywhere.
The only man who has attempted
such things in this country and his
attempt was in a very limited way,
was Mr.. Burleson when kilograms
of the New York World were held up
by his orders The fact that he did
such thing aroused such a storm of
protest in the country that he re-
cinched the order quickly.
But as Henry Watterson says. time
has shown William ]. Bryan wrong
in everything he has initiated in this
country, lie returned from his trip
around the world to advocate govern
ment ownership of railroads No one
in the country. except men who hope
to personally profit from such owner.
ship, advocate it today.
But Mr.. Bryan goes from bad to
worse, if the comparative degree can
be employed regarding advocacy of
putting this country's news service on
even stronger autocracy basis than
existed under German and Austrian
rule before the war came. Probably
it would be better to say that Mr.
Bryan goes from bad to worst.
