Two years had passed by when
the United States entered the war.
Lettie found some relief from her
anguish by contributing her ser
vices to Red Cross home work. 1t
was late in the year when her aunt,
opening a morning newspaper,
stared, paled, and fastening fur
lively into another room, thrust
the newspaper into a blazing CRATE.
She had read in the journal of the
escape from prison of Blake Arnold.
an honor convict, whose good con-
duct entitled him to a remission of
his sentence and whose case had
been favorably regarded by the par
don board.
So Lettie mourned on and dream
ed on, all unaware that the man she
could not forget was free. Her
aunt fretted and feared for many
weeks, dreading the possible ap-
pearance of Blake in quest of Let
tie, He did not come, nor did any
letter, and the months rolled on.
It was late in the year when the
boys came marching home. There
was a fragmentary contingent of
a regiment which had displayed the
highest valor in one Of the most
desperate battles of the war. The
son of the governor of the state
was in the group, and the idol of

Party Business VS.. National
Business.

The seniority rule, which has been respon-
sible for lot OF mediocre statesmen getting
chairmanships Of the leading committees in
congress, is to be strictly adhered to by the
Republicans in organizing the new house. Fur
thermore, fearful that they may not be able
to hold their members in line they are going
to cut the representation of the minority on
committees down to a ratio of Is to s, where
in the last congress the Republicans were given
members to the Democrats L. Where there
more than eight Democrats a COM
mittee holding over enough will be dropped
to bring the total down to the number indi-
Gated.
There is a marked contrast between the in
difference toward public business that the mi
nority OF the last congress displayed in the
concluding days of the session and the prompt
ness and efficiency with which the same indi-
viduals set about making the premises safe,
comfortable and profitable for the Republican
majority in the present national assembly

CURRENT COMMENT

ditions." Are they afraid that Ger
many will come back and start an
other war? Not a chancel Nor will
anybody else start a war that need
bother the United States. This
mighty, eager nation is suffering
now from nothing more than a
false state of mind on the part of
its own people. They have been
shaken and are uneasy. Let them
think twice and they will perceive
the old United States is intact, big
ger and richer than ever, with
greater prestige aboard and great
er markets both at home and
abroad than ever before. The vic
tory of liberty did not hurt the
United States, however terribly it
wounded Germany. The free nations
will give us a better market than
Germany ever dreamed of giving.
All that Americans need to do now,
if they wish prosperity, is to cut
out foreign notions of government,
throw away their worry over the
peace conference and the settlement
of foreign questions. roll up their
sleeves and get busy.
