Old Winter's coming.
:o:-
The north wind begins cool.
roc-
Indian summer is on the way.
Who's to blame for the advance in
prices?
:o:-
Your sore spots are never as sore
as you make them.
Some of the worst tyrants in this
world are invalids.
-:o:
There are those who have to live,
and they have to eat to live.
:o:-
Of course you are going to lend a
hand, but be sure it isn't empty.
:o:
What has become of the woman
who looked for a man under the
bed?
:o:
Ever so often a man runs aero?.-?
a cantaloupe that tastes like a Cor
man carp.
-:o:
Very few men seem to be broken
down by the responsibility of great
wealth.
-:o:-
The man who enjoys his home us
ually marries a woman who insists
on gadding.
:o:-
The man who is endured for the
sake of children is so conceited he
probably doesn't suspect it.
:o:-
This is a queer world in which
a young widow is usually a whole
lot older than an old maid.
-:o:
We have been trying to figure
out the end of uncertainty. We fail
ed completely. There isn't any end.
Canned patriotism, if kept in stor
age too long, may lose all of .it?
value for sustenance. Better open it
up.
Down in Tennessee they seem to
have the courage of their convic
tions. They hung two lawyers down
there not long ago, and are after the
third one.
Speeders are getting it in the neck
pretty bad these days. But gener
ally speaking, not any more than
they deserve. They know the law,
and it is their duty to abide by it.
:o:
The difficulty is not so much with
our patriotism as with the arousing
of it to a complete realization of the
dangers which confront America in
this world war.
-:o:-
If you are fair and honest, decent
and courteous, it makes no differ
ence what kind of business you may
be enegaged in, you can't help but
have the respect of the community,
and then the chances are ten to
one that you will no doubt succeed

One by one the nations of the

mean that the war will be won by
lot air.

The possible elevation -of Edgar
Howard to the office of Governor
seems to be worrying some people
unnecessarily. And why?
-:o:
What is needed at this time is.
not a revival meeting, but a revival
of the old fashioned sorghum mill.
Something must be done to save our
cane crop.
:o:
Let the federal authorities make
the paper manufacturers come down
to a reasonable price on their print
paper. And then most of publish
ers can buy a Liberty bond.
"We are probably beginning the
last year of this gigantic war of na
tions," affirms the German Foreign
Minister Kuehlman. And we be
lieve he ought to know.
The rich man always insists on
having everything that is coming to
him. That'3 the reason he is rich.
The poor man willingly gives it to
him, that's one reason why he's
poor.
Much talk is indulged in by those
who don't like the idea of sending
the boys plenty of smoking tobacco,
but while a great many of these par
ticular people die from indigestion
by over eating, did you ever hear of
a person passing in his chips from
smoking too much nasty tobacco?
The trouble with Colonel Roose
velt is simply that his advice ha3
been turned down and the advice of
experienced soldiers taken. The
lieutenant colonel who escaped ig
nominiou3 defeat solely because i
distance, has labored under the de
lusion that he would be a perfectly
good understudy for Mars if only
given a chance. Fortunately for
the soldiers they have not been re
quired to give their training, their
health and their comfort into the
keeping of an amateur soldier, whose
military service is brief and whose
military record is mostly bluff.
WASHING THEIR HANDS.
Mr. Bentley, boyhood crony of La
Follette, publicly severs old ties by
writing the senator: "As long as
j-ou, in war, fight our commander
in-chief, you fight me. You are my
enemy 'and I am yours." Every
where iri Washington statesmen for
merly mixed up with pacifists and
pro-Germans frantically protest their
innocence. Each of a dozen organ
izations, vaguely pointed out as hav
ing nibbled at Count von Bern-
torff's $50,000, is still bawling,
"G'way! 'Tain't me!" All of which
would be funny if it were not so
bulging with seriousness and if the
moral were not so spirited and so
direct namely: "Never touch anti-
Americanism no, not with a ten
foot pole!"
The climate has changed radically
since America entered the war. Ours
is no longer a temperate zone. Be
fore long it will be torrid. People
in any way smirched by former as
sociation with spies or with traitors
)ig or little should fumigate them
selves while there is time. People
still unsmirched should sedulously
avoid all danger of getting smirched.
Dodge disloyalists as you would the
plague. Rather than incur suspic
ion stay home nights with the
shades up and the electricity turn
ed on, for the present odium, is noth-
ng to what will come when tlie
casualty lists reveal disloyalists not
only as the nuisances they arc now,
but possibly as accomplices in muid
er. Chicago Tribune.
-:o:-
HAS GOT ENOUGH.
Hon. George W. Norris sends us
a nice letter and a few copies of
speeches in which he evidently wish
es to impress us with the fact that
he fought hard to assess the taxes
for this war, on capital. There is
only one way Norris can ever get
an audience with us again, and that
would be to hog tie us and make us
listen to him. Instead of rising to
the level of a statesman la3t winter
when his actions meant so much, he
chose to play on the emotions of
individuals at home, and by his ac
tions endeared himself to every ene
my of this country. All that he
may do in all or the years that
stretch ahead of us will never wijpe
that blot from his record. He can
not talk loud enough or long enough
to make reparation for that wrong,
and for that reason we have no fur
ther use for George W. Norris. That
doesn't mean that he could not bo
re-elected senator from Nebraska
again, lie knew the sentiments oi
his constituents when he adopted
the course he did last winter and
being a demagogue he figured that
with conditions remaining as they
were he could harvest a bigger batch
of votes the Australian syste,m of
voting in his mind to oppose the
war than he could to follow the
dictates of common decency and up
hold the hands of his president.
Fear of what the consequences might
be to them personally is what keep-J
the mouths of a whole lot of people
shut. And if they can reward a
champion of their treasonable
thoughts through the secret ballot,
when the time comes they may be
expected to' do it. The fire under
this wonderful "melting pot," of
which we like to rhapsodize, has
burned low.Clarks- Enterprise.
A DEMOCRATIC PRIVILEGE.
One of the rights guaranteed to
an offender in the United States is
trial by a' jury of his peers, and
"peers" means citizens of this coun
try. It is comforting to know that any
charges tiiat may be preferred
against members of the I. W. W.,
disloyal pacifists and others who
may try to be un-American must be
weighed before a jury.
It is better thus, for it is not only
a guaranty of approximate justice
to the accused, but is also somewhat
more certain of satisfactory results
than would be a trial to a court.
For judges are susceptible to the
lure of politics. Individual officials
too often think of the effect an ofli-
cial act may have with reference to
the getting or alienation of votes
than does a collective body of citi
zens like a jury.
And we have been remiss as citi
zens and loyalists. By not assur
ing the upright judge of the uni
versal support of upright people we
have permitted judges to be intim
idated by the corrupt and criminal
classes.
Any judge who would sturdily in
stst upon the punishment of a dis
loyal person nowadays would be
courting, and would probably re
ceive, the hostiel opposition of the
disloyal classes, and loyal citizens
would permit themselves to be divid
ed by partisanism or factionalism.
affording the criminal classes power
to punish a judge who had the
temerity to impose punishment upon
them.
In other words those whose im
pulses are upright do not stand to
gether at critical moments as a
force with which to defeat those
whose impulses and acts are wrong
ful.
That is why a jury seems more
apt to rebuke disloyalty than an in
dividual judge might be. It is de
mocracy on both sides. Lincoln

GEEMANY'S IDEA OF
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS
Ever since the war started, the
Germans, parroted by the Austrians,
ir.ve been prating over that totally
ogus issue, freedom of the seas.
In their replies to the pope's last
peace note they dwelt upon it with
he usual crafty insistence.
Sober-thinking people of Iowa
have been puzzled. So far as they
could figure, there had bfen noth-
ng but freedom of the seas before
his gigantic war.
Nobody ever heard the seas were
anything else than free very much
freer than life in Germany aud Aus-
ria. ro one even attempted to de
prive the Teuton empires of the
freedom of the seas.
German ' ships plied in every
ocean, competing with British and
merican goods in every market.
The kaiser went steadily ahead with
a big war navy. England did not
even erect a tariff wall against
'Made-in-Germany" goods.
There was nothing the Germans
could legitimately ask for that was
not freely accorded them every
where in the world. The one thing
that excited their wrath and fear
was the continuing might of the
British navy. They also did not
like to see our own navy keeping
abreast of the times. But they
knew that neither of these navies
was a mewiace to any legitimate Ger
man aspiration.
England, an island country, was
forced to maintain supremacy at sea
or jarvo the moment an enemy de
clared war. The United States, for
the protection of her costs and the
maintenance of the Monroe Doc
trine, was also bound to have a
considerable navy.
And it was precisely these things
that irked the Prussian war masters.
They knew a British navy stood be
tween them and their hopes to
bring England to her knees. They
knew our American navy, if prop
erly developed, would stand between
them and their greedy designs up
on South and Central America.
They do not want to be thus balk
ed in the future. Thoy want, if
possible, to trap the allies into some
kind of disarmament scheme that
would mean an inferior navy for
England and a similar one for
America. Then Germany could
pursue her evil and sinister plans
unhindered. The Pan-German week
ly organ "Das Groessre Deutsch
land" (The Greater Germany) drops
the mask by printing an article by
Winand Engel which it approves. In
this Engcl says:
"German policy is forced to make
secure for itself by all conceivable
means domination over the world
sea. I deliberately use the expres
sion 'domination over the world sea.'
and not. the expression 'freedom of
the seas' which is so common to-

day. The latter expression is either
dishonest or stupid. The Eea is free
for us only if we dominate it."
There is the truth about the Ger
man canting phrases in a nutshell.
When the German and the American
kaisers unctuously reply to the pope
that they desire the freedom of the
seas, they are either dishonest or
stupid. In the present instance,
they are plainly dishonest. They
are lying once more, just as they
have lied so often during the course
of this war.
They want German domination of
the seas, not freedom of the seas.
And when they gain domination
of tlie seas, they will have all but
conquered the world. Remember
