THERE is something mighty democratic
about rich, fiappy tobacco. Now that men
have W-IJ CUT Chewing, u good lxbacco,
to lend each other, it cements friendship. Common-sense
about tobacco is getting mighty gen
eral now no one wants the over sweetened kind
when he can get rich tobacco shredded and
lightly salted to bring out the good tobacco
taste.

The President has deemed it for the best inter
ests of America to recommend a declaration of
war against Germany and,' without doubt, Con
gress will so declare before the end of the
week. 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.

LITTLE "JUDGLN"'
THE FIRST DAY
An Irishman on Sunday heard
a clergyman preach on the ju g
ment day. 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

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. Edward Tufft.

German government that the world is fighting.
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.

"And David and Goliath will

"That is my information and

"And Brian Boru and Oliver

"I am quite positive that they

GOING BACK INTO
THE FAST
In its remarkable burst of pa
triotic fervor, the Oregonian has
gone into Senator Harry Lane's

that we are all des-cended from
