RURAL POLICE
In the primary next Tuesday
the question of the retention or
rejection of the rural police
system in Chesterfield will be
voted upon by the voters of the
county. These officers have
done much good, and have
caused a good deal of criticism.
They have done good work in
suppressing crime and lawlessnocc

have not cost as much as most
people think. This paper favors
the retention of these officers.
In case the system is voted out
there will be no change until
the first of next April.
the strike may come yet
A gigantic railroad controver
sy has been threatening to tie
up the trains on 225 railway
systems in this country, and the
danger is not yet passed. The
brotherhoods of conductors, en
gineers, firemen and trainmen
have demanded an 8-hour day
and time and a half for overtime.
The threatened strike involves
2.155.000 mpnr 270 000 mi1f?c r*f
track; 2,507,997 railway cars.
After weeks of proposals and
refusals, the matter reached the
danger point, and President
Wilson called for a conference
with the leaders on each side,
and proposed a plan for settle
ment. The workers accepted
the plan, but the heads of the
roads refused. It is still hoped
that a plan may be found to set
tie the differehcesrwithout a dis
astrous strike on all the roads,
but we can't tell.
GERMANY OR ENGLAND
In an article published elsewhere
in this issue Mrs. Edna
Funderburk makes the surpris
ing statement that during the
European war she has met but
one person who favors the Allies,
which shows that strangely
enough she has been thrown
principally with German sympathizers,
and has naturally formed
the idea that this condition pre
vails all over the country. She
seems to have an impression
that the newspapers are all for
the Allies and that the people
are all for Germany. In this she
is mistaken. The proportion of
newspapers that favor the Allies
is pernaps about the same as
that of the people. Saturday
morning this writer, after hav
mg read the article referred to
above, walked out on the street
and asked the first twenty men
hp met the direct question, * Who
would you have win in the final
outcome of the European war,
Germany or the Allies?" In this
number we found one man who
said he favored Germany. The
other nineteen were all for the
Allies. In this section, where
we have very little of the foreign
element, this is probably
about the proportion of German
sympathizers.
The fact that this paper is for
the Allies does not blind it to the
faults of England and the others.
One of these faults was the execution
of this Irish leader.
So far as possible this paper
has remained neutral, but if Mrs.
Funderburk or anv one else desires
to know why its sympathies
are with the cause of the Allies,
some of the reasons might be
given in an early issue. Very
little good ever comes from such
statements, however, and they
are made in these colun u.? pjly
at infrequent intervals.
/
An indifferently dressed person
dropped into a small saloon
in one of the New England S
tpwns where munitions are just
now being turned out in large 0
quantities for the Allies, and told J
the proprietor, a German, that j,
he would like to open an account
for liquid refreshment, the n
same to be discharged on Satur- F
day night after he had been paid J
s
The owner shook his head in f
dissent. t
"I'm sorry," said the stranger, r
"There wouldn't be any trouble f
about you getting your money. 1
I'm getting good wages over f

out shells for the Germans." =
The sa loon man's manner became
instantly genia1. He not
only consented to giving the
other credit, but insisted upon
his taking a couple of beers on
the house then and there.
"Tell me," he asked in a confidential
tone, after the second
round had been served, "how
you get them shells over to the
Chermans, eh?"
The other man put his emptied
schooner upon the bar and edged
toward the door.
"Oh, it ain't no secret," he said;
"we just ship 'em across to the
English and they shoot 'em
over."
"Muzzer," asked the four-vearold,
"did you hear the stepladder
when it tumbled over?"
"No, dear," said the mother;
"I hope papa didn't fall."
"Not yet; he's still hanging onto
the picture molding."

Who Can Name the Relationship?
Last year I did not want to I
embarass my girl by having her e
propose to me so I asked her to
marry me. She said, "I would
rather not." Then to get even
with her I married hei mother,
thus making her my daughter.
Later my father married the
k., ? J 1
Kiii aiiu uy limujin^; my Uidllgll- *
ter he became my son, and by
the same act I became her son,
so who in the devil am I?
Since my wife is my lather's
mother's husband then 1 am my c
own grandfather, and my father ,
being my wife's son I am her '
grandson. So if my father is
my son and my mother is my
daughter and I am my own
grandfather, then what re'ation
am I to my wife's husband?
