"STATl'S 0.1 O ANTE." The president indulged in a little law Latin to tell what he thought the purpose of America were in the pretent war, nd sometimes I-utin is all right it makes the point. Whatever the Latin may mean, ii seems that President Wilson meant to lay that the state that existed before the present war could not go on after the war closes. In this the people will buck up the president This country is opposed to militarism, to the maintaining of large anil permanent standing armies; and it if opposed to any other country by BUeh means gaining control of other countries and other markets, and so lordinr it nvor tre whole world. Aftei this war shall have been fought to a successful close, then the status que ante-"-whatever that may mean must be changed to an up-to-date condition. In which all nations may be protected from the impositions of ether nations In fact, the president put it better when he said that "democracy must be safe everywhere." This country does not want German territory, unless it may be perhaps some of ber islands of the sea in oui natural territory; we are not even fighting for any territory, and we need no money from Germany except for the actual loss she has caused thi eountry and her citizen. Wc are merely fighting because fk-rman failed to reapert our righto as a neutral and wont to the point that she made Uncle Sam cither one of the belligerents or else stamped him as a coward too impotent to protect hi' own property and the lives of hi.people. Everybody knows why we are fighting we are fighting because wo wani to live in peace ami safety, and we also want other leaser nations to have a chance in the world. To add to the president's Latin it might be said that Germany must ake her hands from our throats and le us alone, and at the same time she must let other nations alone, sui-h na tions as naturally have a right to our sympathy and help this is s"ine qua nnn." Also lot it be said, "Sub hot aigno vinees." HI' 11,1)1 NO IN W AR TIMES. The Illinois legislature hs abandoned its plan, for extensive build ing operation in the stute depart ments and inotituti'ws, and with the ear of faith we already hear applause the country over. Itravo! Let rities, commonwealths, and the federal gov ernment follow suit! To which impending outbursts wc reply, "Be orthodox, brethren, but don't be more orthodox than his holices the pope." Fjis fcas not suspended public building operations be-

sides the celebrated cask of iniquity at Washington. Pork kegs, we might term them. States and cities have each their own. Away with such! But not with the long projected and long needed,"mprovement that have an in contestable value. Just because wc are no longer in a position to throw money about, it doe not follow that we must scrimp or perish. Neither does it follow that scrimping will prevent our perishing, ii may etui-utlj to. As we look at it, a quietus clappel on legitimate public building enter prises would rank with the mania for private economy that is now impover ifching milliners and dressmakers and many a distressed tailor. Fine is it rot? to see her ladyship economise by starving her modiste! Inspiring to see her husband economise by skinning his tailor! Kor that is what t comes to. And they call it patriot ism. Patriotism! Ye gods and Utile Vhes! One plain duty of patriotism in war time is to keep the pot a-boil-ng. Waste is wicked, hut legitimate -pending a virtue. Within the bounds f reason, go on siending. It pro- ' ntes "business as uual." It stcadie.(he slate. And what applies to the niiiv iiiuul applies e,u.d! to n.uuiu 'lalities, commonwealths, and federal nvernment. Let there be no havoc wrought in the building trade nnd its "alf dozen allied iridu.-tries in the lame of patriotic economy. To put i peremptory quietus on legitimate tnd sorely needed public building projects is to sow disorder, unrest, and listress at the very time when such aUinities wuuld work a maximum of nischicf. Let us keep our hair on n avoiding vatc, let us also avoid he economy that in the end spell xtr.ivaganre. THOUSANDS VS. THE ONE. TI.e whole country was exciter! and '.lien appalled at the death of the little Keet child, kidnapped and thrown m a well. This baby was only fourteen months old, and was one of tens if thnu.-ands, but its sad ending show ow the great heart of the nation can e touched. !!verone except the kidnapper leeins to have sympathized with the stricken parents, and with the child: ind this sympathy was natural. Yet, think of the tens of thousands if little children in this country wnse ires go out every year because, of inproM-r care, of insanitary condiions or else because their fathers 01 notliers are addicted to some habit 'l.at makes them unfit for parents, or ihe care of children. These things do lot excite the people as much as they should. W'hy not arouse the country to the lungers to the children that exist because of the liquor evil and other -vils that are abroad in the land yidnapiiers, stealing away their thousands. Then, think of the Germans in their horrible butchering in Belgium ami France, tossing the little babies on :heir bayonets as they make their lay through captured territory. It is well to get excited over the individual case, because it is terrible, but it is better to get excited over the thousands of cases of cruelty and humanity that take the helpless children of the w orld. Perhaps, unless the present wai shall be financed and won in time, Germans may take their way across this country, thrusting their bayonets through the bodies of the children. There is no question that the Ger mans back in the old country hate Americans, perhaps even worse than they hate the others of the allies. This country has prevented them winning the war so far, and Germany ha cause for resentment against this nation. RtTlAL HOLTE 23.

He told me so himself." The moh dragged Piersol toward the town bandstand, then. But the StockIon people objected to staining their town's name with a lynching, volun teering the information that there was a beautiful big oak tree a little ways out. The mob made for the oak. The moon seemed to point out a hort, stout limb as the tree was reach ed. Piersol's hands were tied behind him as he was led under the tree and he rope was thrown over the limb. He looked up at it and grinned a grin that looked ghastly in the moon light. "Now, Piersol, what have you to ay?" the lawyer asked as the rope was tightened. Well, boyn, 1 guess you came out here to kill me," he answered. "But you'll kill an innocent man. Go ahead nd pull the rope, ami to h I with ou all." Three men grabbed hold of the rope and gave it a yank. At the same lime others fired revolvers. Piersol began to choke and kick a little w ith feet. W hen bis tongue flopped out of his mouth he was lowered. Again he was asked w hy be killed Buddie. "Oh, you all go to h I, he again shouted. The mob again yanked Piersol into the air. They left him up until his lace began ta turn black in the moonlight. He was cut down, uncon scious and turned over to Sheriff Webb. The men of Springfield returned home, ronvinced that the six prison ors had nothing to do with the Keet case. Wehh hustled them to strong jails for safety.
