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!" Not by a long shot H<
takes his place far back of the lines
? well out of the danger zone, when
his envious hide is protected whih
brave but misguided men men wh<
know nothing else but to how to th?

in defense of "my" country. 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.
No longer would it he "out"

! 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

H I w on't be any money left to light and

,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

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 '

are losing money on the passenger (

lis to try to share a country road with

' nutty speeders. The heavier they

jailed the more the public will like,
it. I he authorities need never fear
that they haven't public sentiment iI
behind them when manhandling the
speeders on Dillon's roads. People |
who menace the safety of others
should be discouraged bv the innsl I
