We bould feel proud of the call t;
from England to send our troops to
her shores^, fight for the same priadplee
weBfl to defend against tke *
old moth^Bountry one hundred rnd (
forty twoBprs ago. It is not a question
of wtBwas right or wrong at the
time, but an admission that i tore 1
than half of Europe is willing-4o shed f
its blood to maintain the standard of; c
human rights and liberties for which ^
Americans fought and died nearly a 5
century and a half ago. E

We have some expert hunters in:
this section?fellows who claim they E
can kill a partridge with their eyes ^
blindfolded. They've got to take'
back seats, however, when it comes v
to a comparison with the Kaiser. A "
German forestry journal states that?
in 1908 the Kaiser killed l,99f pieces ^
of wild game, including 70 stigs, elk j.
and roebuck. At that time he had p|
slaughtered a total of 61,75*1 pieces i(
of game, more than 4,000 of which r]
were stags, and was the lead ig exterminator
ef wild life in the wcrld. We
do not vouch for the accuracy of these
figures but as a slaughterer of men
^ since 1914 the Kaiser has broken all R
/oriner records. j tt
, w
T.ie town man looks at thecountiy, tc
&
thinks everybody there is lnppy and;^
prosperous -and has -.reams, of some
day owning a fertile farm of broad h
acres and taking life t ?sy. The country
man coines to 'own\ jokes and st
talks with the merciant or banker, jc
thinks everybody in t hus an easy 111
.Mme, and back home ruminat- "
ing on the uneven distribution of the ^
world's supply of happiness. Both
are subject to the frailties of human ^
mature. The merchant or the banker ^
has his troubles which he hides w
behind a well-concealed exterior 4
while the farmer of the broad and t'?
! fertile acres carries burdens which,"
his outward appearance does not re- J P"
veal. Taken "all in all the "
world's supply of happiness is ^
pretty well distributed, and it is not ?
1
often that the other fellow has the tl
best of the deal. But he who is satis. fo
:ied with his cards and plays the game J
of life well with what he has is the d
one who wins, even when the odds "
are against him. ! ^
T
tl
When we hear the word "slacker ^
the mind instiuctively turns to the
person who tries to evade military a
duty in the country's hour of need. C
But all the slackers are not found In *
the ranks of the army. There is the
slacker in the great army of industrial
workers who refusese to do |(
mor# than his day's work or grumbles
if he itj risked to put in a few hours' s*
extra time ut regular pay. And still ol
worse is the able-bodied man who 'd
does not work at all. Kvery man
must have a certain amount of food
to keep him alive and when a man
does not earn what he eats he is living
on somebody else's labor. This is ,
I ci
the type of slacker the civil authori- f).
ties should go after. They are to be (v
found in every town and city in the 111
nation. There is plenty of work to d:
do and these slackers should he given w
the alternative of doing their part in 1
the ranks of the great civilian army u
. . :l1
oy serving time on the chain gang. (.f
I II j
\t every ses. .. ; the g? .. i .tl as-. ?\|
scmb'.y there is s<>Mt :...in who thinks
it i:. his houiiden < 1 v.... to tamper with
the whiskey laws. The session just"
adjourned v.as not an exception. The
new liquor 1. e converts the olhce of ^
probate judg into a. department for
the investigation ot liars. If a man t
applies for a liquor permit and the
the probate judge doe not put him
through the "third degree" he is likely
to he punished for malfeasance in
office. If. after he puts the applicant
through the "lliid d gtee" and it is
found that lite nplicam was not en- 1
titled to r. ?. : >. .. c : i I , t lie pro
bate judge 1.; i mmitted an error
which i3 likely to cost him his office.
So far as The Herald is concerned it
would !) ' glad to see the whiskey evil (
abolished altogether. It would be 5
glad to see passed a nation-wide ,
bone-dry law. The marked improvement
in the morals of the people since
the enactment of the <juart-a-month ]
law is ample evidence of the fact that
a community is better off without l
whiskay, but there is danger in this
continual pranking with the whiskey
law. Tim people do not have time to
see how one law works before some
over-zealous prohibitionist in the (
general assembly rings in a new law.
One erank can undo at a single stroke
all the constructive work that requir- i
cd the combined efforts of a dosen'f
statesmen ten years to accomplish,?1
and the general assemblies of the1'
past several years have had more '
than their share of such cranks.!'
The time was ripe for a state-wide
bone-dry law, but tJio pen era 1 asseni-'f
