Note how the Austrian empero rercrs to my cannon in i , leu gram to ihe kaiser: "Cleinence.ru' accusations against me are so lot that I have no intention longer t discuss this affair with France. "M> cannon in the west is our last r< .? ply." It is that little word "my used so freely l?y kings and empoi ors that has brought about this gtea struggle. It is "my" this, "my" tha and "my" the other; the people owi nothing. "My" cannon! Ye god and little fishes! But who stand behind those cannon ami faces th fire of enemy artillery? Is it thi vain, proud, boastful creature o circumstances who cries out "M; cannon!"

Can you imagine President Wilson refer ring to our ai"illery us "my" cannon" Can )ou imagine President Wilson referring to our soldiers a "my" soldiers? Can you imagine President Wilson referring to our nation as "my" nation? But in the use oI tnat little word "my" we find the difference between autocracy and democracy. That is autocracy in its simplest yet its broadest sense Thai is what we would have lo live under should the German arms prevail.

Local statisticians who figured ,r that the war would have to stop "r from lack of financial resources arc >_ in ihe class with the financial exe pcits who said tin* same thing three r years ago. 1 The war has cost considerably i more ilian 10U billion dollars- and n ilieie isn't a man in Dillon who can '' u*.le?iuatel\ describe how much' s l_ money lhai leally is. ?. it means $6o for every man. wo- j n man and child on the globe. ! And the war has not quit costing. l( It is eating up more money than dozi ens of former wars. ?j Yes, we think this will be the last ?' great war. After it is over there H I w on't be any money left to light and I other one. hi The railroads claim they cannot 5( I carry passengers at two cents a mile .c'und are asking for an increase of a '' quarter of a cent on mileage books ' >C I I ,r The request would be reasonable j | ,t were it not for the fact that the pasit senger traffic has more than doubled R since the beginning of the war. The 5S s railroads can haul one passenger u j. hundred miles as cheaply as they can haul fifty the same distance. Where j ~ railroads hauled one passenger before the war today they are hauling il three. On one large southern trunk 1 I- line the travel is so heavy that tick- \ ^ ets are taken up as the passengers' e , enter the cars and the coaches are i itjso jammed with humanity that it is i difficult to secure standing room, j ~ i The mil roads may be entitled to an ' i increase in freight rates?but if they are losing money on the passenger ( ' business now, it is hard to underlami , I 1 i how they managed to survive the s period before the war when evorv A other seat in a coach was vacant. o j _____ ' America's battle line is the west-js '"ern front.

About the most dangerous oeeu- ' i 1 n 'ipation on earth is a job on a mine- ' sweeper; but the next dangerous job 1 lis to try to share a country road with (an automobile run and operated by ' nutty speeders.
