THURSDAY. JANUARY 31, 1918.
Poor Mister McAdoo.
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
Poor Mr. McAdoo!
Think of the jobs he's hitched up to?
The Treasury, the Railroad crew,
The Income Tax and then a few,
Each week they hand him something
new
To tax his time and temper, too.
He has to know when loans are due,
What source to fret his billions
through,
What fund to pass each dollar to.
What tax is what, and who is who;
What bonds to sell and what renew,
Which "trust" to coax and which to
sue,
He stretches out each day to two,
To do the things he has to do,
The job would flounder me or you?
Hut it's a sinch for McAdoo!
Italy thought to have been about
crushed by the Austro-German
forces, has suddenly startled the
world by driving: back the invaders
and capturing: twenty-six hundred of
them. All of which g:oes to show that
a man is not dead until he is dead.
This defeat of the "Austro-German
forces will produce a yet deeper unrest
in Austria, long: since proclaiming:
to the world that she wanted
peace.
The farmers of the county are
hereby reminded that they have but
two days more, Friday and Saturday,
in which to file applications for nitrate
of soda which is being: furnished
them by the government at cost. See
A. B. Carwile at the Chamber of
Commerce, C. C. Sanders at Citi/.ens I
National Bank, B. F. Alston. Jr., at j
the oil mill or Jas. L. Carbery, sec- J
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce. |
You will have to act promptly if you ,
gret in one this deal.
One of (he battles that will come 1
after the war is the battle for export
trade. South America will be
more easily developed in this respect
than it would have been possible to
have done before the war. China
should and, no doubt, will form a grrent
field. Tt is g:oingr to be a fact that
the whole world will be closer related
in matters of trade than ever before.
Plans now looking to the gaining: of
a foothold for our exports should be
laid. It is g:oing: to be one of the
freatest opportunities possible when
it does come.
The German working: people, the
civilian population, scorns at last
about to rise against the will of the
war lords, and are demanding peace.
We have believed for a long time that
this would he a result soon or late to
appear. Its coming marks another
stage in Germany's downfall, that is,
in the downfall of autocratic rule.
Bigger than a defeat at the front is
tyV8 reverse being now suffered by
the German authorities, for the wave
will continue to rise higher and higher
until it will engulf the whole empire.
Nearly half a million working,
men are on strke in Berlin alone, and
the strike is spreading to the confines
of the German empire. It would surprise
us not one bit to see a complete
overthrow of the present resume in
Oermany throujrh this movement
which now seems to bo praininpr
pround so rapidly.
Geological Survey exnerts have
estimated that Colorado's shales
could he made to yield 20.000.000,000
barrels of crude oil. from which 2,000.000
000 barrels of gasoline could
be obtained.
Spy Work,
( From the New York World.)
Arson is a crime easy to commit,
hard to detect. Bomb-planting is a variant
dear to cowardly assassins.
From neither would a Germany that
has poisoned wells in France and
South Africa, distributed germs of
cattle disease in Rumania and plotted
in Japan and Mexico against a
country still neutral, withhold its
hand. _
Warnings had preceded and odd circumstances
attend the recent fires in
NVwnrk Rnltimnrn Rnffnln' + mvc_
terious outburst of flames in ships
loading for the Allies; the wrecking
of bomb-proof in Newport with a
dozen men slain as in battle. Apents
of the Kaiser cannot without proof be
accused of causinp such disasters.
But the manner of them and their
proupinp in point of time may compel
belief.
Court trials of men for crimes of
espionape are constantly affordinp
evidence of the way in which, accordinp
to witnesses, murder and destruction
by bomb and torch have been
planned. In law, each case stands
by itself; but crimes owinp a common
oripin may reveal each other if
dove-tailed topether by patient detective
skill.
Spy work must be run down; the
spies nailed. And, unless we mistake
the temper of the American people,
where men have for almost three
years rewarded our neutrality by
wapinp a sneakish warfare upon the
United States, and are now in continuinp
offense, proof and conviction
should be swiftly followed by extreme
penalties.
Not only on the battle-line, but on
the farm, at the doc and in the facory
and ship yard must democracy be
defended.
"When The War Will End"
(Greenville News.)
A clever Greenville hiph school
pirl, "P. E. P.," submits this "pome"
for the "colyum", its title beinp
"When the War Will TTnH-?
"When eggs at breakfast-time appear
And bacon's not so high;
When meatless days are not observed
And dinner ends with pie:
When lumps of coal are not so rare
And folks have wood to lend
The war is near an end.
"When girls do not delight to gaze
On khaki suits and caps,
And Kaiser Bill's no longer known,
m1 Maury's changed his maps;
When children always wear clean
clothes
And cooks their 'misses' fear,
Then I am told that you may know
That peace is very near.
