THERE is Of course no law to prevent
any of those who wall about our contin-
ued duty 10 stricken Europe to spend
their money that way, and to send their
sons to serve in European armies, but
they should not insist upon the assist
ance of the blood and treasure of those
Americans who feel that this country
is in sad need of the first thought and
support If the American people. This
thing Of paying off imaginary debts at
other peoples expense, and sobbing
ever the matter, is not very impressive.
There is no doubt in the minds of many
that if the over-rich plutoerats Of the
European nations were compelled to
divulge for the support of their stricken
poor. as they should be, there would be
little need of help from America. In
aulge kings princes and potentates to
walow in luxury while their poor cry
for bread and autocraey will prevail.
We went into the great war to crush
O, 4 autoeracy, and not to sholder the
burden of taking care of their des-
titute. The restitution resultant from
the war is chargeable TO certain great
powers over there and they should be
not only detroned. but their fabulous
wealth taken to alleviate the suffering
and want about them.

Friendship.

You must make your own friends.
Some men are born with a natural
disposition TO be friendly. Other men
with equal brains are born with natures
that do not easily make friends. The
one man needs to be careful that he
does not make too many friends and
the other needs TO cultivate the art OF
making friends. Both men may make
shlpwreck of life by allowing the
natural bent of their lives 10 dominate
them. Some folks may say a man
should make his friends among those
be is able TO help. That may be al.
truistic but as rule a fellow wants
friends who VIII help themselves. The
tendency Is to make friends Of those
whose life appeals to us without re-
gard TO profit. But the wise man win
take stock of the friends he makes and
cultivate those who help him to be
better man. He needs the incentives
good men are able 70 arouse with.
In him. "To make friends you must
show yourself friendly"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN IN

New York Tribune,
That Abraham Lincoln was also n

a president should not have exclusive
control over foreign relations appears
in the following from a speech by him
in 1876
1.-The provisions Of the constitution

gress was dictated. as | understand it.
by the following reasons Kings had
always been involving and impoverish-
ing their peoples in wars, pretending
generally that the good of the people
was the object This our convention
understood was the most oppressive Of
ali kingly expressions, and they pro.
posed so to frame the constition that
no one should hold the power of bring
ing this oppression upon us. "
Polk was president when Lincoln thus
spoke. he had begun war without
the consent of congress and sought to
write the peace without consulting the
senate, except in q perfunctory way
He did this, as Woodrow Wilson re-
marks ia his History Of the United

Lincoln, then, at the beginning Of
his public career, was among those
who held that the constitution should
rule and that no man should be allowed
to put the nation into war and out Of

day, doubtless Lincoln would be classed

GIRL SCOUT
DRIVE DRAWS
LARGE CROWD

The work and aims of the Girl
Scouts have been demonstrated for
the past two days in st. Johnsbury.
Saturday evening every seat in the
Please-U Theatre was filled when the
Girl Scout play "The Golden Eaglet"
was produced. The local troupe of
Girl Scouts attended in a body and
were very enthusiastic over the play
which proved to be an excellent pro-
duction, attractive, instructive, and
interesting to the entire audience.
A large and interested audience
greeted the Girl Scouts at the union
service at the Armory Sunday even
ing. Charles A. Shields presided.
Promptly at half past seven the To-
cal Girl Scout troupe marched to
their seats singing one of their
marching songs. After prayer by
Rev. A. S. Woodwork, a campaign
flag was presented to the troupe by
Mrs. L. N. Smythe in behalf of the
Woman's Relief Corps Miss Pris-
ella Brooks accepted the flag for the
Girl Scouts. This was followed by a
very interesting history of the flag by
Miss Audra Blodgett
Rev. DR.. F. A. Poole in a brief
address explained the objects and
aims of the organization, giving an
interesting description of the organ
ization of the local troupe one year
ago and its development since then.
Miss. Margaret Kicker gave the Girl
Scout laws in manner which showed
her familiarity with them and which
must have attracted other girls to
join. After Il song by the troupe
came the setting up drill which was
a good example for the whole audi
ence. C. w. Steele stated that while
this was not a campaign for large
fund but some funds were necessary
to carry on the work. Therefore sus-
tanning memberships were requested
of one dollar or more. While the
girls sang their recruiting song and
gave an exhibition of signalling to
music, the ushers passed pledge
cards among the audience which re-
suited in nearly one hundred sus-
tanning memberships.
Mr.. Shields announced that the
meeting at the Armory Monday night
would be at 730 instead of eight as
previously announced and at this
meeting much more elaborate pro7
gram would be carried out by the
Girl Scouts, including fire drill. dem
onstration of invalid bed making,
military drill, knot tying, health
laws, etc.
Another large audience will un-
doubtedly be present at the Armory
at 7.30 tonight to see this very in
teresting performances. The Girl
Scouts plan to make complete can
vass of the town for members and
sustaining membership.
