> France.
It is easy and often misleading to
personify a nation, to speak of it as
it were a man, to give it a man's attributes,
define its character, and pre- 1
diot its actions from that character,
as if it were a man. But a nation is
not a man. it is made up of many
men, all different, and in one generation
the men are not all mere copies
of those in another.
The folly of generalization must
strike those who a few years ago were
talking of light-headed, unstable, superficial
France. It must strike them
as they see the grim, tactiturn, unshakable
nation that goes so imperturbablv
and almost silently about its
work, "such work as few ever had
laid on head and heart and hand."
They must see it as they note thei
transference to the French of the
characteristics that in their generalizations
they called Teutonic. They
see a nation going to war with no
parade, with no noise, with no vain
glory or boasting, but with a set and
Indomitable purpose and a silent unanimity.
There is loyalty in all the
warring nations, but nowhere does a
nation move as one man. nowhere
does each\act seem the act not of a
nation but of a single colossal individual,
as in France. There is selfishness
and callousness in some parts
of English life, even in Germany
there are divided counsels, but in
France a whole nation is a nation of
self-surrender. France consecrates
itself to the end m view.
Its heroism is not the heroism of!
individuals, but the heroism of a na,
tion, and that nation fills the heart
of every man in it to the exclusion
of everything else. Its remorseless j
reconstruction of itself, its cold and!
steady decapitation of every weak or,
stupid leader, its subordination of all
the things in life to one aim, and the
steady and fateful way it has gone'
about the achievement of that aim,!
are not the acts of a volatile and ir-.
responsible people. We are govern*!
ed too much by phrases. Carlyle influenced
us too far with his Gallic j
Pfire, comparable to the burning of
"dry jungle and grass, most sudden,
high-blazing," and his Teutonic fire,
like that of "anthracite coal, difficult,
to kindle, but then which no known j
thing will put out;" one fire for
"roasting egg6," the other for "smelting
metals." How utterly false that
contrast seems, as We look at the
/ methodical, inveterate, imperturba?
ble, undismayable people that is fighting
today!
The losses of France have been
more frightful than those of other
countries, but no groan escapes her.
She entered the struggle to give all
she had to it, and not a murmur will
escape her if all is taken. And this
spirit animates not her governors
alone, but the unknown men and
women who are France, down to the |
least. She is unrecognizable by her
portraits. They were painted by men
who had 1870 in mind, and 1870 is
dead; 1870, boastful, degenerate,
vain and careless. Or they had 1793
in mind: determined enough, but passionate.
headlong, empirical and visionary:
and 1793 is dead. Long after
1870 they looked back at the story j
of the nineteenth century, with its j
frequent revolutions and its kaleido-j
scope of fads, and predicted the fail-'
ure of the third republic, because an
incurably restless, frivolous man,
easily tired of every new fad he hasi
taken up, will surely tire of the next
one: it is his character. But a nation
is not a man, and the headlong visionaries
of 1793 and the dilettante
cynics of 1870: w-ho lived in a time
when faith and works were dead,
have passed away. The tired republic
has lasted nearly naif a century,
and grown stronger year by year;
and under it there has grown up a
great new people, for a new people
fPftw im in an old land. The
drunken France of the nineteenth
century is gone for good, and there
rises where it lived and died
A people, sane and great.
Forged in strong fires, by equal
war made one.

SEE VICTORY IX NEXT ELECTION
National Chairmen McConibs and Hil
le?? Optimistic Over the Outlook.
William F. MeCombs, chairman o
the Democratic national committee
and Charles D. Hilles, chairman o
the Republican national committee
made their first official prediction
regarding the 191G election, says i
New York special to the Washingtoi
Post, They didn't issue statements
be it understood; they suffered them
selves to be asked what they though
of prospects and they gave thei
hopeful opinions. It wasn't niucl
like the year preceding the campaigi
of four years ago; in fact, each of thi
chairmen was rather startled at sigh
of a reporter. However, recovering
they said:
Hilles?"We have every expecta
tion of winning. The country is dis
satisfied with the Democratic admin
istration, getting more so every day
and is ready to return to the republi
can party. Every report I get fron
all parts of the country indicates this
So does every election that's held."
McCombs?"Unless there is sonn
decided change in the situation i
will not be necessary for either par
ty to establish headquarters nex
year. The result is' a foregone con
elusion, as things stand now. Th<
Democratic party is enjoying an un
exampled preeminence that is no
likely to be lost for many years."
Hope for United Party.
* * ,,A* - ' * ,
Apparently pontics nas iwucu
"impasse" like that of the war cam
paign on the German-French border
Each chairman admitted his confi
dence rested on a united party nex
year. Hilles expects Roosevelt to b
"regular" next year,* but doesn'
know, he said. McCombs hasn't an;
doubt that Bryan will be "regular"?
but says he doesn't know.
"The fight will be made on domes
tic questions," said Hilles. "Th
whole country is standing behind th
president on foreign questions. X
fault can be found with the manne
in which all our public men hav
lined up in his support."
"There are no domestic issues tha
the people will listen to possible fo
the Republicans to raise," said Mc
Combs. "As for disregarding foi
eign questions, a thing the people ar
thinking about all the time cannc
be disregarded.
Watch President Wilson.
"The chief 'foreign 'question' r
ferred to, of course, is the manne
in which President Wilson has har
died the situation brought by tbe
ropean war. As for domestic issues
perhaps the tariff is meant. Wei
if Congressman Dingley were calle
back from the grave he couldn
write a tariff schedule 'protective
enough to make a particle of dil
ference in American business ai
fairs."
Filed away in nis offic
Chairman Hilles has stacks c
figures on elections that hav
been held since the last presidents
election. They show, he says, ths
the country is swinging back to it
ancient Republican majority. Ever
normally Republican State will b
Republican next fall, he declared, an
he named Maine, New York. Ne
Jersey. West Virginia. Ohio, Indians
Nebraska and Nevada as stray 6hee
he expects back in the fold. He cor
fessed considerable satisfaction i
the figures that have been filed awa
in St. Louis since the election c
1912, when the Democratic majorit
was 12,000 until the election of thi
summer, when the Republican m*
jority was 129. The significar
thing, he said, is the steady gai

quence. he asserted.
Bound to Capture Senate.
"What I don't understand." sai
the optimistic chairman, "is tk
statement attributed to Boise Pei
rose and made by some others thj
'there is a chance for us to captui
the senate next year.' The fact i
if it's a Republican year we're boun
to capture the senate. We only hav
to win in Republican States to wi
back a majority of the senate. An
it'll be a Republican year I am coi
fident."
Chairman McCombs said figurt
scarcely are worth talking aboi
now, indicating he had a deskful
they were needed.
"The only possibility of a Repul
lican party being a contender, as
looks now. is a restoration of tt
entente with Roosevelt and his pe
sonal following. And nobody knov
what .Mr. Roosevelt will do, I'i
sure."

i HOMESICK DOG GOES FAR.
Returns Alone to Birthplace, 1,700
.mies ,i\vay.
A few months ago G. R. Bolen, of
' Nebraska, moved to Yazoo county to
f
make his home, bringing with him
a fine shepherd dog. He expected to
s embark quite extensively in the sheep
1 raising business and the dog was
1 trained to assist in that work. How"
ever, Shep was not satisfied and longed
for his old home on the plains of
1 Nebraska. One morning the dog
r was missing and his master was great.
Iv worried, supposing he had wan1
dered awav or that he had been stola
1
" en by somebody who knew of his val1
uable qualities.
In a few days Mr. Bolen received
a telegram from his old home in Nebraska
informing him that the dog
had returned to his old home, a distance
of 1,700 miles. He was returned i
' to Yazoo county by express and is
now herding sheep in his new home

t New Invention for Comfort of Hogs.
t Following is an account of a new
invontinn for tVio fnmfort nf hOETS.
e taken from the current issue of Farm
. and Fireside, the national farm paper
t published at Springfield, Ohio:
"There is only one thing the domestic
hog enjoys more than to have
a his back scratched?that is, to
. scratch his own hide.
"Just as the wearer knows best
_ where his hoe pinches, so knows the
t hog to a nicety where his lice bite
e the hardest.
t "In the days of stumps, stubs, log
y and rail fences, each hog had his own
_ favorite rubbing places. These were
worn and polished by generations of
hogs, big and little,
e "Now every post carries a wire
e fence, and a hog has come to expect
o that each post, like the rose, has its
r thorn.
e "Taking advantage of this inclination
to rub himself rid of his lice ene,t
mies, the inventor has gone the hog
r one better and furnished automatic
rubbing posts and rubbing logs with
- which the hog tickles his hide and
t annihilates his lice at the same time,
it "These rubbing posts and rubbing
logs are made and loaded with liceexterminating
oil so as to accommodate
the cjiplHnp' nies the shoats. and
r the hogs higher up.
i- "It's a case of letting the other fel1
low do the work and furnishing him
enjoyment while so doing."

A Fair Warning.
* "Many a man goes to war without
r" the slightest conception of what it
. really is," said a veteran of General
Robert E. Lee's army, according to
the New York Evening Post. "In
^ 1S64 I had command of a detail made
up of a dozen or two recruits that
e
j had just come from the Gulf States.
The first night we were near the ene.
my. I managed to find a deserted
cabin, and, after placifig my picket
^ out in front, we flung ourselves down
^ to sleep. In the middle of the night
I changed the picket, selecting for
^ duty a young fellow who had exhibit'
ed the most intense longing to exterminate
the entire Northern army.
"About dawn I was awakened by
y the well known 'ping, ping!" of bul>f
lets against the logs of the cabin and
v the expostulating voice of my picket.
." Going to the door I saw that a small
scouting party of Federal soldiers
had discovered signs of Confederates
n in the cabin and were trying to drive
. us out by firing from the opposite
hill. I turned to my picket and gave
% a gasp of astonishment. The young
man stood in the midst of the clearing
while the bullets whistled around
^ him. There were no signs of fear
about him. but he was tremendously
j j excited. He had dropped his musket
^ and was waving nis arms, trying w
attract the attention of the enemy,
e
and shouting at the top of his voice
^ in tones of remonstrance:
"S-a-y, you fellows over yonder!
n Don't you all be a-shootin' in here;
g there's folks in here!"

Might Have Been Worse.
;s Former Governor Robert B. Gleen,
lt of North Carolina, when reference
if was made to the fact that everything
has its bright side, and he was re3_
minded of the philosophy of Murphy,
it relates the Philadelphia Telegraph.
ie Murphy was rambling over the
r. boulevard one afternoon when he met
s a friend who was trudging along as
m painfully as if he had been in collision
with a road-roller.
'Rheumatism," answered the
friend in reply to Murphy's question.
re "Caught cold and every bloomin' bone
r, in my body aches to beat the band."
"Hard luck, old man." sympathiztg
ed Murphy, "but it might be a whole
lor worse."
t- "Might be a whole lot worse?"
s- querulously rejoined the patient.
"Yes." was the philosophic rejoinder
of Murphy. "Just suppose
you were a shad." .
