force as means of solving inter-
national disputes, SO, inevitably, our
first logical and consistent course
was an honest appeal to the law that
we were insisting should be respect
ed. Even as Washington, Adams,
jefferson, Lincoln and Grant. Presi-
dent Wilson held to orderly pro-
cedure, refusing to resort to force
until very peaceful means of adj
justing differences had been eX-
hausted. If while pleading for
peace, we had rushed preparations
for war, our whole position would
have been stultified, our faith sham
ed, our professions given the lie.
This policy, as just as historic,
laid the foundations for the uneX-
amplcd national unity that marked
our war effort 1t proved to the
world that our declared love of
peace was not a lie, and that not
until the death Of hope did we de-
eide to take up the sword.
The presidential campaign may
be expected to drop TO its usual
depth. Wars may be waged, a
world reborn, but office hunger re-
mains the same. AT least, however,
decent Americans can take stand
against the poisoning of pride, the
gutter deiilement of glory.

WHERE.

Another week of seething in the
Senate has but demonstrated the
more clearly that certain interests
are bent on taking the nation to
hell or under the control of organ
lied greed. There has been no dark
er hour in the history of America.
The American Senate and the Hun
are working in harmony to defeat
the will of the civilized world. The
Huns business, Of course, is to get
off easy, The Senate has, under the
constitution, with the treaty until
it is laid before it, and yet, while
the strong men of the civilized ma
tons are striving to restore a just
peace to the world, and to provide
means of enforcing that peace, the
American senate is helping the
Hun, little caring what else it ac-
complishes if it may but undo any
thing the President has done, if it
may but miSguide and mislead Am
erica into accepting the complete
domination, of organized greed. Ger
tain senator's have never been in
reality the servants of America.
Toke-fellOws with greed, govern
ments are tolerable to them only so
long as they may be used by organ
lied greed.
God help America to stand from
under her load and to reach at last
& proper understanding of the fore
es of destruction organized for
her undoing. We need patience
and we need courage, but courage
more than patience. Organized
greed his no conscience, no soul. In
Germany it has been defeated unless
here in America it wins back fol
the Hun what he has apparently
lost.
His kinsman in spirit would rule
America though death and hell en-
compass the world.

PROHIBITION,

Probably new generation will
accept prohibition. Now we are in
the transition state. Men accustom-
ed TO alcoholics do not take kindly
TO prohibition. All sorts of turns
are being taken to cvade the law.
All sorts Of things are being used.
Drinkers are not only taking risks
in evading law, but are positively
risking life and sight and health.
Wood alcohol is a deadly poison,
Insanity, blindness, death, one or
the other or ali must follow its use.
And yet it is being used. Here in
LewiSburg one man is blind and
helpless from its use. Flavoring
extracts are dangerous. They are
not made to drink in quantities. A
drop now and then as a flavor is
all that is intended to be used. Yet
men are getting drunk on them.
The mere possession of moonShine
is misdemanor, while TO make it
is felony. 1t is perhaps true that
copper distilled moonshine is as
pure as any liquor, but how do you
know that ordinary or poisonous
pipes are not being used, or that the
kick does not come from wood alco-
hol- There is no supervision, no
inspection, and the makers are TAX
ing such long risks that the mere
question of poisoning the drinker
is a small matter.
1t is well known that men brave
most when they cannot get, but men
can stop drinking if they want to,
and unless they stop using the stuffs
they are now using, drinking men
will soon be stopped by the grim
reaper.

Be more than his dad,
Be chum to the lad;
Be part of his life
Every hour of the day;
Find time to talk with him,
Take time to walk with him,
Share in his studies
And share in his play;
Take him to places,
To ball games and races,
Teach him the things
That you want him to know;
Don live apart from him,
Don't keep your heart from him.
Be his best comrade, He's needing
you so.
Never neglect him,
Though young, still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride;
Show him his error,
But be not terror,
Grim-viSaged and fearful,
Win he's at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It's easy to learn to;
Be such a father
That when troubles gather,
You'll be the first one
For counsel, he'll turn to.
You can inspire him
With courage, and fire him
Hot With ambition
For deeds that are good;
He'll not betray you
Nor lily repay you,
If YOU have taught him
The things that you should.
Father and son
Must in all things be one
Partners in trouble
And comrades in Joy.
More than a dad
Was the best pal you had;
BE such chum
AS you knew, to your boy"
