And the Kaiser is not to be tried,
After all the buster and bragado-
clio, after all the rip-roaring stump
speeches in which he was held up
to be the miscreant scoundrel that
he is, with bloody hands and helm
Gus leer, with heart iron and de-
void of conscience, mureding wom-
enand children and burning homes;
all of which is true. And after
all this he has become the innocent
ex-emperor of a deceived people
whose culture is revered and whose
aspirations are respected. A peO-
pie who, having laid down their
arms, still brag that they were new
er defeated. And all because he
is master, a lord and "A ruler.
There is no moral law by which
they can try him. Perhaps not.
Nor is there a moral law by which
we can try the BURGLAR who breaks
into your house and after he has
slain your children, gives himself
up. Should he go free? The
wages of sin is death. The Kaiser
is the sinner in the ultimate de-
gree. What should be his penalty7

Many Ohio County boys have
made their appearance among us
wearing the gold chevron, or mark
of service overseas. These heroes
who have breasted the German
steel or felt the burning sting of
the poison gas should be made to
feel the place of honor which they
occupy among us and be revered as
the more fortunate, though not
necessarily the greater heroes than
those who only reachedYthe training
camps.

FIRE AT WYSOX.

Wysox, Ky, March 10,-One of
the saddest events of the year oc-
cured at Wysox last Tuesday even
ing. During the high wind Mr..
Robert Payton's residence caught
fire and burned to the ground in
ten minutes, entailing a loss of
$S75. Furniture and fixtures
amounting to S140 were burned
and only one bed was saved. Mrs.
Payton was slightly burned on, the
hand while trying to extinauish
the flame. A faulty hue was the
cause. Mr.. and Mrs. Payton were
away from home but reached the
scene in time to see their home go
up in smoke. Mr.. Payton has
many friends who regret to hear

same breath he pours out his
vituperation against Lloyd George,
says he is self-willed, a man who
does not respect the parliament of
a free people, who plays for poll
tics and a good deal more of such
venomous criticism as the Ameri-
can people-in some instances
have been hurlingat the President.
And at the same time we are prais-
