OUR scHooLMAsTER.

We have repeatedly mentioned in
these columns of the necessity-the
vitsl necessity-of the party nomi-
mating and electing Woodrow Wilson,
as We believe it is an advance step
IN the great march of progress, to
make the world safe for democracy
and to provide for few good jobs
for the faithful.
Some of our esteemed contempt
raries-the city dailies-with
greater circulation cry out, and cry
.oct aloud about "precidents. We
as an editor, who is trying to uphold
the Spirit of Jefferson, answer that
the Woodrow Wilson's do not follow
presidents, they establish them. A
MIN who is sent from God does not
follow, he leads.
True, General Washington opposed
the third term, but as much as we re-
we're his memory and admire his kim
dred, who are living among US, we
cannot be insensible of the fact that
the General has been dead for over
a hundred years, and the conditions
of his times died with him.
General Grant favored the third
term. but he too and his times are
dead-very much so. We live in the
present, and we will let the dead past
bury its dead.
Three great forces will contribute
towards the reelection of the Presi-
dent. First, the religious press and
the churches, or shall we say the
church, the Reborn church," No
matter what we might say or think
about the churches not being able to
mold public opinion in the past, we
cannot but agree that they are doing
so in the present wonderfully so.
Second. The army of Pacificists,
yes, the Pacifst have an
army, a majority vote, who march as
terrible as an army with banners,
thank God.
Germany, we know, entered this
war through the lust of blood and
pelf. Through the instinct of the
savage and robber, was it only the
modern man with the obsessed mind,
the normal man with the abnormal
mind.
The civilized man does not seek
war. He expects to obtain his end
through other channels. True, he
fought good fight, for great cause
and won great victory, but not
through the lust of blood.
Surely nobody in our own country
wanted to fight except those who had
been exempted by the draft boards.
and we are not all from Quaker an
cestry.
Last but not least, solid and unit
ed party will be behind the President.
We can at least promise solid vote
from jefferson county, as we feel as
sured that the organization will do
its full duty, and the Shenandoah
Junction board viii act with its usual
fairness and efficiency.
In this fight the Spirit of Jefferson
promises-as an exponent of pure
= democracy, as good family news
paper and advertising medium to
lead as the Spirit usually does.

Did you ever notice your wheat
crop come out of the winter looking
fine, and then about the middle of
April seem to turn yellow and appear
to ''go back" Lack of available
plant food when most needed is the
cause of this. When the wheat plant
begins to "stool out" or develop is
when it needs quickly available plant
food most. Try an application of
200 lbs. of our Top Dresser on part
of your crop and you will be con-
WINGED that it pays.
