THE DEVIL AND US.

The devil has kicked up a peach of a row in Europe, and now he has designs upon us. Things are moving his way across the pond, but he is not satisfied with the attitude of you and of the rest of us. He wants to see more brimstone. He wants things to happen here in America. He is not content with gorging himself on the life blood of the unhappy millions abroad. He would sow the seed of discord among the people of foreign nations who have sought homes on our hospitable

October.

October of* the wine-red leaves— What memories are in thy name. And what sweet imagery preceives The hills with wizardry aflame! The dogwood glowing on the height, The*. sumach set against the sky, And on the pure, crisp air of night The wild goose hallooing its cry' October, thou art beautiful —-too rare—too beautiful to die!

Like soldiers in their tents of gold, The fields are wonderful with corn, And mists of mellowness enfold The world of faerie at morn. The Hunter’s Moon invokes romance Upon the soft and shadowed air, And all the stars of heaven dance For joy of beauty everywhere. October, thou are Beauty come with vine leaves woven in her hair!

How red the West has come to glow When day goes riding to his rest, And what soft winds contrive to blow Their sweets from Araby the blest! The killdeer calls upon the shore, The sky grows mystic like the sea, And all the arts of fairy lore Are working magic in the tree. October, thou art happiness—our dearest dreams come true in thee! —St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

shores, who have adopted bur flag and our country as their own. He whispers in our ear that the Germans are* fiends, and the English pigs, and the French rascabs. He bids us argue with our neighbor and denounce the country from whence he came, and traduce the people who perchance are his ancestors, whose blood flows in his veins. He bids us proclaim from the housetops and on the streets and in the homes that the nation which may have our sympathy is in the right, and that the people of all others are vipers fit only to be exterminated.

He bids us exert ourselves in the stirring up of strife and racial passions among our own people, to the end that we of America may meet the same fate that has overtaken our brothers across the seas. He would feast upon the blood of our own fair land. He the devil—would beguile us unto our own undoing. But there is a greater and wiser Being who counsels calmpess, and moderation, and consideration, and compassion: who bids us speak gently of all peoples, that malice and hatred and dissention may hot lie engendered in the hearts of our citizens; that we may safeguard the peace of our own country, even though all the rest of the world be led astray.

God warns us that we walk in the shadow of peril. Shall we cast the devil adrift? Shall we keep America free from entanglements by curbing our tongues? God assents. The devil dissents. Wh a t say you?

’ MADE IX AMERICA.” Be a patriot ! , Let it be America first! When we go to the stores to part with our money let's demand goods, of American manufacture, for by this means we will assist in keeping American mills and American workmen busy, and will keep American money in circulation at home, where in time it may find its way back to us. ■ 'W We of America may do much for our own country in this way, ami without additional expense or inconvenience. Let's all be patriots! America first!

Perpetual motion: Madero chased Diaz out: Huerta planted Madero ' arr inza and Villa kicked Huerta to Europe, and now Villa w,anis to give Carranza the boot. "What kind of a girl makes the best wife?" inquires a demure, dainty and dimpling young damsel. That’s easy. One. with sense. War is a game at which everybody loses except the winner, and he feels as if he had been sat upon by a suffragette. If that international sporting bout over in Europe doesn’t stop soon some one will get hurt. Gold is the only circulating medium in Europe, but it isn’t doing much circulating. Having traveled the circuit, war is now being blamed upon the heroes of literature. In Siam there ate no old maids. But Siam is a long ways from here, girls. The wise man puts his best foot forward. The fool stands still on both. Mahy an aged spinster has made a good match in her time. Five a box. The vultures are having their day.

Dogs Should Be Muzzled All the Year

By Health Commissioner GOLD' WATER of New York City

Dogs ought to be kept OUT OF THE CITY IN WIN TER as well as in sum MER. THE OLD IDEA THAT DOGS GO MAD BECAUSE OF THE SUM MER HEAT IS WRONG. THERE APE NEARLY AS MANY CASES Of* RABIES DURING THE COLD MONTHS AS THERE ARE IN SUMMER. ** * IF THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY EXCLUDED THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE MUZZLED OR KEPT ON A LEASH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE PRESENT ORDINANCE COMPELS THEM TO BE SO QUARANTINED ONLY DURING THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. •t »? A campaign tn capture and destroy all stray dogs will be started at once. Persons who value their digs should keep them oil the >treels, as dogs at large are verv likely to be bitten by rabid dogs.

Self Sacrifice Would Prevent Many Divorces

By Rev. JAMES A, BEEBE, First M. E. Church, Englewood, Hl,

THIS year I have had as many as twelve instances of domestic infelicity coining under my personal observation. Either husbands or wives have come to me with - their troubles, and 1 havt sought to help them. I am sorrf to report that I HAVE NO'j MADE VERY MUCH HEADWAY IN SECURING RECONCILIA TIONS, but I have discovered thu reason why reconciliations do not take place. v - IN EVERY INSTANCE THE PRIME TROUBLE LIES IN THE REFUSAL OF ONE OR BOTH PARTIES TO THE DISAGREEMENT TO YIELD THEIR OWN WILL FOR THE SAKE OF THE OTHER. I AM NOT PESSIMISTIC CONCERNING MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE, f“OR I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MORE HAPPY MARRIAGES THAN UNHAPPY ONES, BUT EVEN ONE UNHAPPY MARRIAGE IS ONE TOO MANY AND THE REMEDY OUGHT TO BE SOUGHT. *? * Young married people ought to watch the first approach of the spirit of self will and substitute for it the spirit of self, sacrifice.

A NEW CONSTITUTION FOR INDIANA

Thl* Great Issue to Be Determined by the Voters at the November Election. The voters of Indiana will be called upon at the election of November 3rd to pass upon the question of calling a convention to revise the present state constitution. The most vital question that confronts the state to-day is this question of a new constitution. To vote Intelligently on it will require a careful study of the situation in Indiana on the part of the voters. It is important that they should have full infonpation as to the conditions imposed on the people by the present constitution and of the opportunities afforded by constitutional revision to better the situation. ,

The question will be put up to the voters by independent ballot on plain white paper 4 inches square contain ing the words, “ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION Ibt THE YEAR 1915?” In order to carry the proposition, a majority of all voters of the state voting at this election must vote “YES.” The normal vote in Indianh for candidates is about 700,000. Of this number at least 350,001 must vote “YES” to carry the question, regardless of the number of “NO” votes. In effect, those who dp hot vote at all on the proposition are counted against the convention. The ignorant and indifferent voter thus constitutes a tremendous handicap on the movement to secure constitutional revision. It is not, therefore, too much to ask that every voter seek to prepare himself to vote on the question and with full understanding of his act.

The legislative act also provides in detail for the next three steps toward revision in the event that the vote of November 3rd carries. A special election will be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March, 1915, for the' election of delegates to the convention. These will be 150 in number, apportioned throughout the state in the same manner as members of the General Assembly now are apportioned. Any qualified voter may be a candidate for delegate from his district by filing a petition signed by 100 voters of the district. No political party shall be permitted to nominate candidates. The election shall be non-partisan in every particular.

'1 he purpose of the act is plainly to secure a delegate convention which will be fairly of all the people of the state and to remove the necessity of serving partisan interests. It is to be fundamentally a people’s convention. The delegates elected .shall meet in Indianapolis on the first Monday in May. 1915, and “shall constitute a Convention for the purpose of making such amendments. alterations and changes in the present Constitution of the State of Indiana or the making of an entirely new Constitution for the State of Indiana as such Convention may deem proper and which new Constitution shall be submitted to the vote of the people of the State of Indiana to be by them ratified or rejected . . . said Convention may submit one or more amendments or one or more sections of the proposed Constitution, as distinct propositions, to be voted upon by the people separately or together, as to the Convention seems expedient.” The members of the convention shall receive a per diem of ten dollars per day and mileage, and shall not remain in session longer than one hundred and eighty (180) days, Sundays excepted.

It is to be noted that this movement for a new constitution is not in any way connected with the proposed new constitution of 1911—the so-called “Marshall Constitution”— which was written by the legislature of that year. This “Marshall Constitution". which was a Copy of the present constitution, with 23 Articles amended, was never submitted to the people for adoption or rejection, for the reason that its presentation by the Legislature was declared unconstitutional on the ground that the Legislature was without authority The important fact of the present movement for a new constitution is that it confides wholly in the people. It comes from no partisan source. It is directed at no party or faction. Its advocates are appealing to no prejudices nor to any special interests. They are using only educational means. It offers a rare opportunity for the people of Indiana to acquaint themselves with the big fundamental facts of their state government, and to make their influence felt in shaping and directing its future functions.

Soon it Will be termed “oceans of blood." Rivers 1 are inadequate. Some people have sense, but not enough to know how to use it. When the rich man is taxed he howls. The poor man pays. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. Neither are you. Few promises are easily kept. Big ones are often forgotten. There are times when "I will try” is better than “I will.” ■ 1 - ■ - I » I Bang! Mexico again!
