WEDNESDAY. NOVKMHKR 14, 11M7. I .rife must lie one deliphfui thinp after another in Petroprad. Would that Emma Goldman could enjoy the fruits of anarchy nflw so manifest in Russia. We respectfully call the attention of our city authorities to the need of pettir.p our streets in pood shape before the cominp of winter. "Kerensky marching: on Petroprad", one day. "Kerensky fleeinp from Pctrogjrad," defeated by KornilorT, another day. Wonder what Kerensky will do tomorrow? Southern train No. 10, which has been scheduled to arrive in Union at 9:19 each eveninp, has been moved up ^nd is re)K due here ,*t 8:59, just Onehcei , 20 minutes earlier. Pity we cannot send all our inhabitants who think they can get :.! mil. without law and its enforcement to Russia for a while. It might make believers of them. Stranger Herring. stranger anybody, home man, visitor,?no matter who?don't bemean our Uncle Sam, not hereabouts, anyway. We are not going to stand for it. Don't be a "slacker" that's what Judas was, and you know his end. When ho got a good look at himself, "he went out anil hanged himself." All "slackers" are not armv "slackers". no, not by any manner of means. The Southern Railway is making a strenuous bid for a damage suit in leaving the construction work on th> new shed at the station here unlightod at night. Anyway it was so Tuesday night, and a real trap it was, with 1 train in the yard and passengers alighting from the train and stumbling over the piles of lumber and the big dumps of dirt. i J T.rt's all make a imod. strone pull for the $0,r.00 Union county is asked to contribute to the army V. M t". A. work. The money goes to help your own son, brother, sweetheart, or it goes to some fine fellow who is the son. brother, or sweetheart of soma one that has contributed the help that goes to your son, brother, sweetheart Tt's all the same. Face in line and let's get the whole $15,">00 we are asked to give in one day? Friday. It will he so easy, if all will help. President Wilson savs the war'* I work must be done before the talk of peace comes, and he is ri^ht. To fi^ht a drawn battle now will leave to an early future another and even greater struprjrle between democracy and autocracy. The world is too small to hold both ideas. One or the other must tro. Are you willinir to see democracy jrn? IV| rather be dead. 'Mead as a door nail", than live to see the burial of democracy. The world would l<c a poor place in which to live were it Germanized. What think you? If every man, woman and child in Union county would but tfive the poor sum of eleven cents, it would raise th-; total Stt.r.OO that Union county is asked to contribute to the army Y. M. C. A. work, and leave an even hundred dollars balance on hand. Rut everybody will not do a part, therefore many will have to do vastly more. The few will, in this, as in all other be Vievolent movements, have the burden to hear. Many bier hearted spirits will give tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds. It was ever thus, and will be to the end of time. Hut, then, the burden-bearers will be recompensed, for in the final weighing: of human character, they alone will prove to be worthy of reward. We hail with delight the fact that President Wilson and the Washington authorities are "going after" the profierman propagandists, spies and sowers of seditious thoughts against this government. As a people we have hern very lenient, too lenient with these miserable spies and thugs. And we feel that those who have been ' convicted arc treated with altogether ^ too much consideration. We do not ^ see the sense in treating them as . though they were angels from heaven, j They should, when convicted, be put , I upon the public works and made to do time, not housed in luxurious apartments and fed upon the fat of the land, .j IManv of these seditious betrayers of y the country's confidence should be ^ lined up and shot. There is altogether too much spying and treason showing its head in this countrv. o IF EVERYBODY DOES HIS PART. 1 If everybody did his part in the affairs of life, did it cheerfully and without "fuss and feathers," what a fine old would it would be, to be sure! Hut there's the rub. There are many "slackers" in all walks of life. The army "slacker" is the man who comes in for a thorough condemnation but he is no more a culprit than is the everyday good-for-nothing "slacker" in the daily walks of life. The only difference is that we have come to tolerate him while we opepl?lr,<! *,<11 j uc<i on huu..i fitrv and loudly1 condemn the army "slacker." In the average church you find this inglorious fellow. If the enterprises of the church were slighted by all as they ?ire by him, the shadows of death would fall upon each and every cause the church stands for. He gives nothing in money; he absents himself from Sunday School, prayer-meeting and regular services of the church, and feels no euilt. He. has noihimr in say that is good for his church; he often finds something to say of it that is not good. He feels ihaf he is serving1 Hod more acceptably gadding around over the country in his automobile on Sunday than he could serve by attendance upon the church worship. If all were like him every religious institution would die, yet he flatters himself that he is quite a "good fellow." He is not honest, to begin with. If he were, he would cease to sail under false colors. He would go before his church and ask that his name be dropped from the rolls. The churches would do themselves and the cause of righteousness no small good if they would cast out these spiritual "slackers." A miserly, narrow-minded skiunfiiiit fastens himself on to the body commercial in a community. lie makes no investments save when he can catch some poor devil who has to sell at a great sacrifice; he is against all increase of taxes, no matter what the need; he does not believe in better schools, better churches, better roads? tact is no noes not oelieve in anything that does not promise a speedy addition to his store of simoleons. He prospers through the public spirit of his neighbors. If all were as he is, the community would dry up and die. There would he no enterprise. Such men do not believe in "risking good money." They are quite willing for others to risk it; hut as for themselves, they will have none of the risk. They are commercial "slackers," and if they had their deserts would he branded with the infamy that is justly their portion. !
