THE PEOPLE AND THEIR POWER. Thoughtful people whose only knowledge of revolutions is a perspective of them gleaned from reading of history, and "who hare therein not been able to understand how they could gain such momentum and fearful results, must have had their eyes opened last Monday when the resistless living streams of hysterical people poured through the streets of cities all over the country as water pours over a dam. They could no more have been stopped than the tides of the sea. It does not necessitate a great stretch of the imagination to contemplate what would happen if those streams of people were in revolt against the government. Suppose for a moment that theyahad arisen in protest err in anger instead of in enthusiasm and joy, and suppose an effort had been made by the police or even military to oppose them! Suppose even a small percentage at them were armed! Supposing most of them were armed! Sometimes governments forget about the irresistible power of the people when it is all directed one way Xiih one end in view. Then there is nothing so uncertain or unstable as a government. May we never cease give thanks to the Almighty that our government IS Jhe people, and may this government and all government to come never ignore that fact.

PRIEST SINGS GOSPEL HYMN. A. E. Flude, long a Lincoln Chautauqua manager, now with the Y. M. C. A. overseas service, tells of a fine Irish priest of the Roman Catholic church, who worked with him on a British transport. They got along splendidly. The Irishman could sing, and Flude couldn't, o the priest helped out whenever possible, though all unused to this kind of service. Upon one occasion he sang "Throw Out the Life Line" right lustily, while under a nearby life boat, in plain sight of the "Y" man and the singer, sat a bunch of fellows playing poker. "They needed a life line, sure enough," says Flude. The United War "Work campaign will throw a veritable life line to many a fighting man.

NO MADE IN HELL COODS FOR US. The Architectural League of New York at a recent meeting discussed the question of undertaking some patriotic method among the various industries of this country to prevent the flooding of the American market with German goods after the war. It was stated at the meeting that there are individual Germans and German firms in the United States who are making preparations to throw upon the American market goods made in Germany immediately upon the ending of the war. These men are said to be experts in their own lines, and are organized for the purpose of helping Germany in its struggle to capture trade after the war. It Is none too soon to begin the campaign against the importation of German-made goods. Imagine for one moment any American mother giving to her baby toys made by Germany, while she thinks of . ten of thousans of babies murdered by Germany in this war. Every toy made in Germany and ever other piece of goods of ever kind will for generations bear a bloody stain which all the waters of all the oceans can never wash out. Nevertheless, there are people in this country who, for the saving of a few cents, or because they have no moral sensibilities, would gladly buy German-made goods. Tt matters not to them that everything "made in Germany" should be stamped with the real truth, "Made in Hell," says the Manufacturers Record.

WHAT HO, JIM! ART A SLACKER? Down in Montgomery county they have been having some trouble with their favorite bard, Jim Elmore, whose choice verses have been recited in Hammond by

Jim himself. The Fort Wayne News says that the council of defense of Montgomery county has published a list of slackers, the Abou Ben Adhem, of which is -the bard himself. It is set forth that Jim was reprehensibly tight when it came to the matter of buying bond3 and contributing to the war charities, and it is alleged that thus far nothing more substantial than a fifty cent subscription to the Red Cross has been wormed out of him barring of course, a poem on the Belgian orphans and another on the duty of this country to stand behind the president. Perhaps the bard has regarded these lyric offerings as his bit and is merely insisting on the public's recognition of their intrinsic value, feeling that should he make other contributions these might constitute an acknowledgement that his poetry was in the Meredith Nicholson class. We say perhaps, for something tells us otherwise. It tells us that Jim's reluctance to come across is merely poetic license to hold on to his mouldy old iron men. Separating Jim from a dollar is a major operation compared to which a certain other operation made famous by him in a sad song dViudles into insignificance. This other operation occurred at the time of a certain Monon wreck which the bard describes in detail very gxaphieally, employing the historical present. Hear him: And yonder in the wreck I see A man that's pinioned down by the knee, And hear him calmly for to say, "Cut, oh cut, my leg away!" It has been said by the jealous poets and envious minstrels of Montgomery county that if Jim were pinioned down by the knee in a burning wreck and it came to the alternative of giving up both legs or a dollar he'd give up the leg.. However, this may be said spitefully by those who begrudge Jim his fair name won by galloping about on Fegasus while his plow horses munched their noonday meals. Many of the bard's most celebrated pomes have been written, he assures us, in less than half an hour. Someljow it seems harsh and barbaric that a softeyed singer, with oodles of temperament and that inclination to be sensitive which poets usually possess should thus be branded as a slacker. We should make allowance for the eccentricity of genius and as was remarked before for poetic license. Jim always was strong for poetic license, anyhow.

LOOKING THEM OVER. With the splendid showing made by the republicans over the country giving them the house and probably the senate, with the tumult and the shouting over it is possible to look over the field and ponder over the returns. The magnificent showing made in Indiana overshadows everything in the south central states and the significance of Ford's defeat in Michigan gives pride everywhere to republicans. Whatever else the election has taught, it must sink deep into the hearts of the people that in these days of stress there must be no more talk of everybody who differs with the administration being "seditious." There i3 a wide distinction between a man who thinks the government is dealing too leniently with alien enemies here and one who insists that while making war on Germany abroad we can endanger our men fighting overseas by nursing their friends here. This is something a lot of false leaders and paid propagandists must learn or else be taught. But when all is said and done the election is over. The people have decided. ' There must be no bitterness. We have chosen oir methods for making known the will of the people an'' the result must be abided by. Let's all get together and put our shoulders to tr. -wheel. There is big work ahead. The world's work. All nr nor difficulties can be settled later. In a proper conduct and settlement of the war ther is glory enough for all, both republicans and democrat

WAGE CLASHES AFTER THE WAR.

"The middle classes of this country will pay dearl. for war extravagances and unreasonably high wages V so-called war workers," remarked Harry Weissman c

New York, at the Willard, in Washington. , "There is coming some time after the war som thing that will be akin to a revolution unless there is check of prosperity where it does not belong. Sor classes of labor are getting nearly twice as much nonas they ever expected to get in their wildest dreazr Anyone who has an idea that the old difficulties bewe capital and labor are at an end are bound to be di sill eicried when the final reckoning of war-tlm flnancic comes. Organ;zed labor has generally been patriotic but the strikes have been lamently frequent, sufficient! so to indicate considerable unrest. This unrest is cct tain to develop as the days of peace come and recor struction of industrial conditions begins. There mir be jobs for those 2.000,000 men who are now In Franc and the 2,000,000 'war workers' who are now holdin those particular jobs will be slow to surrender them or work for less wag1?. It will be when labor and capita' lock horns in the coming reconstruction times that th middle class will be the innocent bystanders who will br hit when the two ever-powerful forces begin to fight with renewed vigor."

"Y" RE-CHRISTENED IN ITALY. The Y. M. C. A. in Italy, as everywhere else, has asserted itself in a most splendid and generous manner While the Red Triangle, known the world over as the sign of brotherhood, is murh in evidence in the Italian war zone, the four letters "Y. M. C. A." are nowhere to be seen. The reason given for this is that the Italians, in general, are opposed to any organization of a public nature which is controlled by a religious or secrtarian element. Such a title as that of the Y. M. C. A. would create a certain feeling of mistrust among the Italian people as to the purposes of the association. The officers of the Y. M. C. A. in Italy have been quck to appreciate this, and in order to work in full harmany with the Italians have changed the name of the association to "Socicta (di) Fratellanza Universale," or "Society of Universal Brotherhood." Accordingly, the letters "S. F. U." have everywhere been substituted for "Y. M. C. A."
