Demosthenes and Preparedness Demosthenes was one of the greatest orator3 of the world and also a farseeing Greek statesman. He found his people asleep and apathetic toward an armed invasion of their country by the Macedonians under Philip. Demosthenes set out to arouse them and so he delivered a series of orations which have gone down in history as the "philippics." The orator was an apostle of preparedness. A writer in the North American Review, recalling the similarity between conditions in Greece back in 350 B. C. and in the United States today, presents extracts' of the philippics as an exhortation to the American people. Just as the Greeks believed the danger far off and not pressing, so many of us have been lulled into the sleep of false security. Just as the Greeks believed that a nation had time enough to prepare when the foe was at its frontier, so some Americans believe that the wide expanse of the Atlantic will keep Germany from our shores. Here's what Demosthenes had to say about Athenian unpreparedness : You have never, Athenians, made the necessary dispositions in your affairs, nor armed yourselves in time you have departed, Athenians, from the plan of government which your ancestors laid down. You are persuaded by your leaders that to be the first among the Greeks, to keep up your forces ready to redress the injured, is an unnecessary and vain expense. You are taught to think that to be free from public cares, to abandon all your interests, one by one, a prey to the vigilance and craft of others, is to be perfectly happy and absolutely secure. If some of us love the flesh pots more than we love the hardships of military life, let us be turned from our false ways by this exhortation of the orator: It is beneath the dignity of the state, beneath the glory of your ancestors to abandon all the rest of Greece to slavery for the sake of private ease. I, for my part, would rather die than propose such a conduct. If, we all foresee that the farther this man (Philip) is suffered to extend his conquests the more dangerous an enemy we must find in him, why this delay? Why is our duty evaded, or when will we be disposed to exert ourselves? Must some necessity press us? What one may call the necessity of freemen not only presseth us now, but has been long since felt ; that of slaves, it is to be hoped, may never approach us. Demosthenes knew that there were traitors in the Athenian camp, men who openly espoused the cause of Philip, men who secretly wished him success, men who were plotting the destruction of their fatherland. Here's his advice to the Athenians Since, then, your are engaged in defense of all that is dear to you, apply to the great work with an attention that is worthy of the importance of it. Let the wretches who have openly sold themselves to this man be the object of your abhorrence, let them meet with the utmost severity of public justice, for you will not, you cannot conquer your foreign enemies until you have punished those that lurk within your walls. No, they will even prove so many obstacles to impede your progress and to give our enemies the superiority. When your decree for war hath once passed, let there be no dispute whether it ought or not have been undertaken. Let those of us who cherish the false doctrine that the United States should not have en

WITH APOLOGIES TO GEORGE M. COHAN Over here, over here. Over here, overhere, over here. The Yanks are working, the Yanks are working. There is no shirking over here. Over here, over here. Over here, over here, over here. And we'll hustle with coin and muscle. -' ' And we'll all stand pat Till it's over, over l.ere. . "Let us try to forget the war," says one public lecturer. - Vary good, professor, but the point in that the war won't forget us. A war U a very. pestiferous thing, it keeps sticking around and butting in. It never take a hint and never notices a snub. ... The only way to get rid of war is to jump iq and beat it to death.. After the LaFollette trial it is to be hoped the Jury will have the grace to iorirA for a few minutes. Just for the sake of appearances at least. i

What My iMother Wrote the President By Julie M. Lippman of the Vigilantes NO doubt there are numberless German-born Americans v.-'no have suffered indescribably since the outbreak of the war, torn between their instinct of loyalty to the ideal "Vaterland" as they conceived it, i;nd the actual fact of it, in its Prussianized form, as it exists today. My dear mother, now dead, was one of these. At first she roundly denounced the Allies "Perfidious Albion," "Degenerate France" Russia, really the friend of Germany treacherously led to mobolize across the border. It was impossible to make my mother believe that Germany was not the poor under-dog hounded and set upon by a pack of ravening curs ready to tear her limb from limb. Often and often I walked at night to hear her crying, as she lay in her bed next to mine. I entreated my friends and hers to spare her. Not to talk about the war in her hearing. But I could noc manage to keep her in ignorance of what was going on. Day by day she read the papers, the magazines, the letters that in those times, still used to arrive from relatives and other dear ones on the other side Germany, Belgium, England, France. Then one day to be exact, it was on the 2Sth of last March, my mother came to me with a 3heet of note-paper in her hand, and I read: New York, March 28, 1917. Mr. President: I, Marie S. Lippman, born in Aix-la-Chapelle, Prussia, December 11th, 1S36 (therefore 80 years old) a naturalized citizen of the United States since IStJO, am writing you in my own name as well as in that of my late husband, Adolph Lippman, who came to this country in 1848, and who, in this hour of peril would stand for human and natural liberties as loyally and unreservedly as he stood for them during the war of 1861. We implore you, Mr. President, to use the great power vested in you by the people, for the preservation of American honor and Americaa rights which are the honor and the rights of humanity throughout the world. Since the Prussians make present peace impossible, let us give them WAR that under God there may be ultimate peace, before which our country may not stand disgraced. Respectfully, MARIE S. LIPPMAN. To President Woodrow Wilson The White House, Washington, D. C.

A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE Last Christmas I gave my wife a check As a little seasonable token. In the excitement of the day she mislaid it. She looked for it frantically, but said nothing. She didn't want me to know she had .lost Jt. Along in April I took my $18 out of the bank And put it in another bank. I was sore' at the first bank because But never mind why. Along in July my wife found her Christmas check In one of the drawers of the sewing machine. She went and presented it at the old bank And was told that I had removed my account. They wouldn't cash it, the brutes. She went to the bank across the street And found that my account was there, ; So she presented her Christmas check, But they wouldn't cash it Because it was drawn on the bank. first i

tered the war, study long and hard the last sentence. "When your decree for war hath once passed, let there be no dispute whether it ought or not to have been undertaken." Demosthenes had no love or respect for the sniveling coward who was trying to wreck his nation by internal disagreements and by dissemination of the doctrine, "We ought to have stayed out of the war." He held that after war had been decreed, there was no way back, the bridges had been burned, the whole nation had to accept the ultimatum. And so let it be with us. There can be no dispute whether the war ought or ought not to have been undertaken. The war must be won.

The County Highway Superintendent Wayne county's good roads are known all over Indiana and Ohio. Automobilists and farmers know their excellence. Tourists praise them to the skies. Road experts and highway engineers look to Wayne county for inspiration and advice.The good roads of this county advertise the sterling worth of the man who keeps them in a high degree of excellence. Superintendent Jones brought to his task rich experience. He kept ahead of his job; studied the problems of road conservation ; spent money to gather data and to see for himself how others did it. Today he is looked upon as one of the premier county highway superintendents of Indiana. Purdue university keeps in close touch with him. The road experts of that school call on him for data and for advice. He is an advertisement for our community. His removal from office would be a calamity. It would mean that politics had again triumphed over ability and virtue. The work of Jones is a monument to his name and an endorsement of his ability. He richly deserves re-appointment by the county commissioners.

Jhen she went home and had a good cry And tore up the check. This Christmas I will give her a check On the second bank, Because, about two months ago, I moved ray account back to the first one. THOUGHTS TO THINK - ABOUT Over-rate yourself and others will in a direct ratio under-rate you; you thus become the stumbling block to yourself. Quarantine the quarreler and the quitter and you guarantee health, happiness and Heaven; Harmony and Hope are safe then. He who hits straight from the shoulder usually hits facts fair in the face; say what you mean and mean what you say. In advertising as in everything else you do, it's your determination that get6 for you your demands.
