Such a demonstration, of obstructionism as tftat staged by the Lafollette-Stone-$fcrdaman combination, though its ftjllc&cy be brief, is necessarily in some degree a rejection upon the people of i^jnerira. Its effect is to make the ^thinking believe that national sentiaent is divided upon the issue with rmany. These obstructionists asume to believe that they, rather than 6 overwhelming majority of their ^leagues iti house and senate represent the real opinion of the country, hey assume that the mass of Americans are cowards to whom peace is s more precious than justice.

Lafollette and his pacifist brethren k&ow full i well that the nation is back of thes president in the crisis and back of the war resolution. Deliberately or gross -ignorance they misrepresent Jie sentiment of their country.

Americanism is not decadent, in jpite of what Lafollette appears to be^ve. Between liberty and oppression jdere is an issue, despite Lafollette's refusal to see it.

of peace. But the widow of General Pickett, who led the confederate charge at Gettysburg, had whose son was killed in the Philippines in the service of the United States, brings a warning against woman's desire for ease., which the'dollar procures. "It is time now for them to leave the pursuit of frivolty and forget during the nation's peril their love of fine clothes and soft luxuries. At the time of the civil war we learneid, too, not to waste anything. The women of today have it in their hands to determine whether we and our, allies are to be brought t0 hunger through their waste or mismanagement, or live comfortably but sparingly as a result of their economy." ''the high cost of living has given the average woman a fairly thorough course of" discipline in the matter of economy, as far as resources in actual money go. But too lai'ge a percentage of women consider their own time of no importance. Those who have never been wage earners and those whose housekeeping duties are light, sometimes forget that even though they do not punch a time clock, their capacity for work has a definite value.

Those skilled needleworkers who devote many hours to embroidery may now find a far more useful, if not so decorativ.e, a field for their efforts. If you belong to a neighborhood fancy work club or card club, why not amend its constitution and by-laws, and dedicate your thimbles tb the sewing of war supplies? If you are a member, or more particularly an officer, in a woman's lodge, why not dispense with a few of the customary entertainments and be "sociable" over the knitting needles or sewing machines? Bring the matter up for a vote at the next meeting.

Think it over. And wear a flag while you are thinking about it.

IN THE CHURCHES TODAY.

In every Terre Haute church today sentiments will be delivered to inspire patriotic work, by men, women and children. The federal council of the churches of Christ in.America has issued a war relief appeal in which it quotes Herbert C. Hoover as saying that this country '"is only beginning to allow the awful burden of suffering and destitution to, rest upon her conscience." What is needed is something approaching the spirit of sacri-. fice which has been shown,.-toy the pep-:" pie of the war countries.

The churches are urged to take a special war relief offering on Easter Sunday, and to inaugurate the plan already followed by a system of pledges of jveekly or monthly gifts. Instances of the spirit that needs to be cultivated are given.

A little church in Owings,. S. C., of 40 members, half of them children and none wellTto-do, gives $40 a month, and another small church in Pomfret, Conn., gives regularly at the rate of $5 per capita per year.

An Episcopal rector who- received a lecacy of $1,000 turned it over to the federal council with the statement that he could not use it while the world is suffering so terribly.

A rich New Yorker has given ?100,000 anonymously in monthly instalments and has recently increased these monthly gifts.

THIS SHOULDN'T BE.

.When Company .went to the border there were several cases of soldiers' families needing public aid in the absence of the bread-winner. The care of such would seem the government's first duty.

If anywhere our unpreparedness of spirit appeared most vividly during the militia's absence on the southern border, it was in society's almost total indifference to the fact that most of the soldiers were working men, whose pay was stopped or cut when they donned their uniform, and whose families at hoijie bore a considerable proportion

of the sacrifice made by the men at the front. And it is notorious that the soldier's reaction to the indifference at home was not favorable to his best service.

It is true that, privately, some attempt was made to collect and dis-, tribute funds to soldiers' families. But it is also true that these funds were not large, nor dependable and that the very fact that they were private gave them the tain,t of charity, while the very fact1 that they were not assured rendered them useless as a dependence either for the soldier's mind or his family's need.

How I Earned My First Dollar

George Oscar Dix, partner of the law firm of Royse, Dix and Cooper, and member olf the Terre Haute board of park commissioners, earned his first dollar on a Vigo county farm. "I was born on a farm down near Middletown in this county," Mr. Dix said. "We moved in to Middletown when I was one year old and when I was four years of age my father died. We still have the old farm down there. When I was eleven or twelve years of age my uncle, who had a farm 011 the edge of Middletown, and who always looked in on us when he came to town, said, 'Sonnie, I've got a nice job for you out" on' the farm. You're just the boy I'm looking for to help me out and I will give you fifty cents a day.' I had never earned any money and I jumped at the chance with all of a boy's eagerness for a new experience. "The job my uncle had for me was riding a horse on a hay drag. A forkload of hay was tossed' onto the drag and I dragged it to the hay-mow riding the horse. It was a boy's job and I liked the work and had a good time with the men for three or four. days.

('Written for the Tribune By Max Ehrmann)

My father and mother came to this country when they were young, here they were married and their children were born, and here on a quiet sunlit hillside they sleep, It is therefore my country, as they had made it theirs.

Now, we are to fight in a terrible war. In a few months there may be mourning in many families, and the lips of some of the young men that greet me on the street may be forever mute.

Let it be so. I will not chide the onward rush of events. Idle

hand before them. Shall the ant guidd the lion, or the breath direct the winds! Tears cannot put out the fires of war, nor heartaches stop the roaring steel. If it be decreed that men shall die that freedom live, so be it. For as certain as the sunrise, in the w.omb of time lies the freedom of the world. But to be born there must be travail. The world has not yet learned to bring forth freedom otherwise.

Now is the night of travail. We pray that the child of freedom be not cast forth untimely but that the travail continue until the morning twilight of eternal peace, until all men everywhere be free.

But we tannotunderstand. And, remember, we shall writhe in agony. We shall weep and be unconsoled. For us there will be no consolation. But men in far centuries will see how in these troubled years by leaps ind bounds mankind rushed on and on toward freedom, For now is the gloaming of purple things, the mist of crowns, the gloom of kings. It is sloughing time.

But we return to somber moods, to inner tears. We feel only the sting. We see only the blood. We cling to our loved ones and cry out to the stars and say the price is too great. We say we cannot pay it. But we pay. The stars are silent. The mills of the gods grind on, that love, freedom, justice may bloom from the breasts of the dead.

The Christian life even to-day calls for boldness and courage. In |"he days of Peter and John physical 'courage was needed. Today the Christian needs moral courage to stand four square for the right. Peter was bold because he was filled with the holy spirit. Booze never Jmade a brave man—the holy spirit beats rectified spirits as a giver of courage.

Those who beheld Peter and John marveled at their boldness because they were unlearned and ignorant meh. They thought that the unlearned and poor and ignorant should be humble and cringing and servile and obsequious. They did not know that he who possessed the holy spirit was rich and strong. They did not know that God's spirit is for all—for any, rich or poor, high or' low, who earnestly desire it.

At any rate when they saw the man who was healing they could say nothing against that. Of course, they could not. The deed of kindness, of mercy, of- healing, is the one thing that needs no apology—no defense—for nothing can be said by anyone at any time against it. Many things can be condemned—many things need to be apoloo:'z"r1 for, but righteousness never needs a defense Or an apology for no one ciin criticize that.

igencies of war, are the people prepared to take over the support of their families?

It is as necessary to good soldiership, as to good work of any kipd, that a man's mind be freed from wo/ry about the folks at home. The soldier is readier to sacrifice for a society that is*'sacrificing for his loved ones than for a society that sfiows no such appreciation. War means sacrifice at home as well as at the front. Let us neiver again leave a soldier in floubt as to his family's comfortable and secure provision.

BREAKING HEARTS.

Every Tribune reader will sympathize with the girl who writes Mrs. Ragsdale and explains that she has reliquiShed her young man friend because he is "military," and threatens to join out with the colors. The girl is a, lover of peace not only, but a worker against all that pertains to this war. The man is an American who stands ready to do what he can for his country's honor. The clash between their opinions was so'strong that, it, is said, letters crossed each other, breaking' off the engagement. Now comes the later story as the girl tells it. Shp has given up the peace crusade until she can have a heart-to-heart talk with the man—and everybody hopes that, no matter how the war may wage, th^ diplomatic severance between the man an dthe maid may end in lasting peace.

In these last two years a strong appeal has been made to women not only to use their influence against war, but to refuse to send their sons and lovers to face the guns. The effect of the appeal has been with women as with men: some have, grasped it, others have scorned it. There are mothers 'who would shield their sons, there are young women who would shield their

lovers: other mothers would give their sons freely, other young women would scorn a lover who held back in the crisis. There isn't much difference in the way the sejxes react to the war.

But there isn't a woman in the land, who. would not be firmly for wrar if the conditions threatened American homes with what the homes of the- invaded countries of Europe have undergone.

Love and war are tw-c* strong forces in the world. Apart they are bitter antagonists. Together they are the most invincible of allies.

.Farmers should not enlist, proclaims a Chicago man, but should all occupy themselves with the n&tional food supply. That may be all'right, TjUt^.it was "the embattled farmers" that §kyed the day in April, 1775.

AVhy is it that we can't think of a solemn festival without connecting some kind of food with it? Thanksgiving turkeys, Easter eggs—and even Good. Friday has its hot cross.buns.

Mayor Mitchel asks the New York women to be economical regarding clothes. Some of .them ..seem to be willing to economize in the" quantity they wear.

'in fifty years, says a.,, preacher, women will know- more than men. There's one clergyman who is at least fifty years behind the times.

A walk down the streets of any American city will convince you that Flag day has become a continuous celebration.

Lots of limping around after the Patriotic parade, but nobody quit.

"The Stars Incline, Mat Do Nat Compel." .opyright, 1915, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Monday, April 9, 1917.

Evil seems to dominate in the rule of the stars today. Jupiter is strongly .adverse, while Neptune is in a place that is threatening.

There appears to be some new. menace to commerce from a nation more or less dependent on the United States.

It is a most unlucky rule under which to travel on the water anywhere. This applies to the great laljes which are likely to be menaced in some unusual manner.

As occultists say that we are reaching the final upheaval of all thought forms which produce human action, extremes of every sort are likely to be alarming to thinkers during the next few months.

Neptune gives warning of strange perversions of mind among men and women, who will oppose national measures of great importance to the country.

Extravagance in the United States will be curbed in some unexpected manner, the peers predict.

Interest in all sorts of metaphysical subjects will be a sign of the times during the next few years, the seers predict.

The southern states have a kindly star to protect them for the next month and they have the possibility of unusual prosperity.

Persons whoso birthdate it is may be threatened, with sudden losses. They should not speculate and should be diligent in all business affairs.

Children born on this day may be Inclined to extravagance. Both boys and girls should be taufht the value of money. I

The pain of neuralgia is the cry of the-starved nerves for food. Feed thenerves on pure blood and you cure the disease.

Mrs. Julia Koehler, of 44 West ^Eleventh street, New Albany, Ind. states: "Some time ago I suffered for a number of years from woman's trouble. I tried all kinds of medicines and several doctors, but they did me no good. I was in bed at the'time. I guess I would have heen in my grave now if I had not tried Dr. Pierce's wonderful medicines, 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I took about seven bottles of each an-1 now am well and able to do my housework, can even wash and iron. I certainly cannot say too much for these great medicines, and am glad of the opportunity of expressing my appreciation of them."

If you cannot obtain ^Dr tierce's Golden Medical Disco very or Favorite Prescription at your dealers, send $1.0u to Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buflfelo, N. Y., and he will send large package of tablets.

Mrs. Emma Osboura, of' 214 Reo street, Columbus, Ind., says: "When I was in a badly rundown, condition, a physician of Colunibun recommended Dr. Pierce's» medicines. I used.- 'Favorite'Prescription' g,nd 'Golden Medical Discovery' together, when in a delicate Way. I found them juat th« right remedies for $hat condition.
