That he will be backed by a united country there is no doubt. While many did not favor war at this time, but very few of them will become so perniciously active as to be deemed dis loyal. So America will enter into the war for the protection of the innocent bystander and to secure for itself those rights to which it is entitled by the laws of God and man. Preponderance of opinion !is that the conflict will be short and decisive and jthat very few American lives will be lost. We are somewhat cheered by the knowledge that con ditions are such as to make defeat an impossibility. We will win and the whole world will be better off because of it. - mm. m 3.

The priest told of the hour when the trumpet shall blow and all peoples of all clime3 and all ages shall be gathered be fore the Seat of God to be judged according to their deeds done in the flesh. After the sermon he sought out tha pastor and he said. "Father, I want to ask you a few questions touching upon what you preached about today. Do you really think that on the judgment day everybody will be dfr1-.i rc Prpculnr Wilson Tfirhpr has: Prxrlanrl (there?" TA , . Ta . . , A . The priest said, I hat is my r ranee or any oiner nation, ii is me piuiocraiic "We have no quarrel with the German people,' WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM "Well, stranger, since you'vf been so frank, I'll roll asid tht hazy bank, the misty cloud of theories, and show you where the trouble lies. I left my dad his farm, his t.low, because my call became his cow. I left my dad 'twas wrong, of course because my colt became hi3 horse. I left mv dad to sow and reap', because my lamb became his sheep. 1 dropped my hoe and stuck my fork, because my pi became his pork. Trie garden-tiuck tha'. 1 made grow 'twas his to sell, but mine to hoe. It's not the smoke in the atmosphere, nor the tatte fur 'life' that brought me hen. Piease tell the platform, pulpit, press, no fear of toil or iove of dress is driving off the farmer lads, but just the methods of their dads!"-J.

The German people are. but vassals of a "devine right" power and are kept in darkness without freedom ot speech or press. But the light gradu ally gets in. The news of what the people did in Russia has reached them and caused the Berlin Vorwaerts to exclaim, "Shall the world say that all the nations on earth are free except Germany?" T he Vorwaerts was promptly suppressed but it has helped point the way. Soonvery soon the outraged, starved German people are going to rise and declare themselves free. Then there will be peace. The press dispatches tell us that Secretary of the Navy Daniels has the munition manufacturers "eating out of his hand." It is well at this time that he has for most of them are more patriots for revenue than honor. When Mr. Daniels became the head of the navy department," he stopped sev eral big grafts that had been going on for years. Then big business went out to get him and, obey ing their master, every tory newspaper began to abuse him, never ceasing to this day. But he "stuck", greatly to the interest of the people, the best Secretary of the Navy this country has ever had. Amos rinehot proposes that the wealthy pay the expenses of the war. For example, there is the Dupont family, who it is estimated will make $54,000,000 out of the war. It is Mr. Pinchot's contention that fifty millions of this sum should go to the government. Using the profits of war to pay its expenses would relieve the people of bearing a double burden doing the fighting and paying for it afterwards. understanding." "Will Cain and Abel be there?" "Undoubtedly." "And David and Goliath will they both be there?" "That is my information and belief." "And Brian Boru and Oliver Cromwell will be there?" "Assuredly they will be pres ent." "And the Hibernians and the A. P. A.s?" "I am quite positive that they will all be there together." "Father,'' said the parishioner, "there'll be little judgin' the first day." Irvin S. Cobb. GOING BACK INTO THE FAST In its remarkable burst of pa triotic fervor, the Oregonian has gone into Senator Harry Lane's ancestral history and given us a whole page on what the senator's grandfather did. If it is true that we are all des-cended from the monkey, why not furtherex tend the ancestral theory and give us a few serial pages on lack of patriotism amonn tin apes. Portland Journal.
