The American Spirit More than a year ago America announced to the world that she had entered the war to make the world safe for democracy and dangerous for autocracy. Berlin scoffed at our sincerity and ridiculed our military ability. Arrogantly and contemptously the Most High predicted that the Yankee soldiers would make good cannon fodder for his savagely trained Huns. Even loyal Americans and our allies wondered how our citizen-soldiery, trained in a few months, would stand against the picked troops of a nation that had worked on its war machine for forty years. Then came the test. The Crown Prince, acting under the German high command, hurled the flower of the German army at the Yankee soldiers. The sequel is history. Not only did the champions of liberty stand their ground, but they took the initiative and in hand to hand conflict and open warfare, proved their worth to the complete satisfaction of their Allies and the bloody discomfiture of the Huns. Berlin's phychological analysis, wrong as usual, was again held up to the world for ridicule. The dollar idolators, flabby libertines, craven cowards and undisciplined soldiers of a nation of boasters, as Berlin describes us, proved they knew how to fight, and what they were fighting for. The Most High might just as well get the idea out of his head now as later that our boys do not know for what this war is being waged. Back of their slogan, "Get the Kaiser," is the lofty principle of fighting for righteousness against a mighty power of evil incarnate in a person who temporarily occupies the Hohenzollern throne. A correspondent of the Giornals O'ltalia of Rome has summed up his impression of the American soldiers in the following words, which

we believe is one of the most lucid expositions of i

the real temper and feeling of our boys that'has been penned: "I would define the American army as a revealing phenomenon. The speeches, the thoughts of the officers and soldiers are surprising; it is not simply an army which goes into line, not merely soldiers who make ready to fight; it is a people in arms which lands from across the ocean; sure of its own thoughts, confident in its own deeds, like a knight in helmet and breastplate approaching the magic of an enchanted land. "They believe! They come with the psychology of crusaders, conscious of a great task, decided "to accomplish it to avenge wrongs and right them. "The French cry aloud: 'Oh, the boches; we shall have them!' "The Americans repeat quietly: 'We shall destroy them,' and they do not raise their voices. They believe; they have persuasion, faith. For them it is a question of time. This persuasion is nourished by the faith which they have in their own country; it is a pride; they feel that they are a great people, in its great hour; they are sure of having all: Gold, men, leaders, raw materials, organizers." Could anything describe more pointedly the viewpoint of the American soldier and civilian?

We know that we are in this war because we are in the right and the Most High in the wrong. We have the high moral purpose, the great ideal of avenging wrong. We have faith, unbounded, unlimited, immeasurable, infinite faith and confidence that RIGHT MUST PREVAIL in the end and that we are the agents of providence in subduing evil. Truly, our boys over there are crusaders, every one of them. They went over to help Belgium. They crossed the sea in the spirit of President Wilson's declaration of war that we are not seeking territorial aggrandizement, commercial supremacy, world power. We have no hidden motives. Our action is the direct result of our convictions, and these are based on the eternally true principle that Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. Right will win in the end. Our boys have that conviction in their brave hearts and it was against this great moral principle on which the Crown Prince wrecked his army of veterans.

Don't Forget to Register If you are kept out of the voting booths at the next election, don't blame the law. Kick yourself. Only those who register will be permitted to vote. Every voter must register to vote. It doesn't matter if you have registered before, you must repeat the process. October 7 is the last day on which you may register. The registration board is in session daily at the county clerk's office. Unless your name is enrolled before the closing hour on October 7, you cannot vote at the November election. You cannot evade the law. There are no exemptions and shortcuts. The way to the election booth next November is barred t6 those who have not registered before October 7. Several thousand voters have failed so far to do so. The negligent ones are found among Republicans and Democrats. If you prize your citizenship highly enough to vote, then register your name before October 7.

The Way to Keep the Casualties Down

From the Kansas City Times.

F the casualty lists that must follow the Franco-

American offensive are looked forward to with dread, we can at least take home the lesson of casualties as

French and British experience has made it plain. And it will be valuable to us. Casualties must always bear a well established relation to preparation. War is a business, an industry, and is costly or cheap in proportion as it is prepared for well or ill, and what is true of war is, of course, true of battle. We can keep our casualties down by making the enemy's big, which is to say that we must oppose him always with superior numbers. That is not only good economy, but good military tactics. Half measures of any kind do not pay in war or battle. It is better not to strike at all than not to strike hard. Always to be outnumbered, always to be forced to fight defensively is ultimately to pay the price of a victory without getting the victory. If there has been that phase of the war or the battle for the Allies it ended potentially when America came in. It ended actually when America had a million men in France. France has had 3 million men killed or disabled, and we know why. She never has had the manpower to

press an offensive home.

Wooden shoes next. They are going to be made In this country. Somebody has discovered the necessary supply of alderwood. They will retail for about $3.50 a pair. At that they will be a better invest ment than leather shoes, which cost twice as much and will last only half as long. Only one minor difficulty, and that will bo getting overshoes over them In the winter, but that little difficulty will be remedied. Nobody will have enough money to buy the overshoes. A good pair of wooden shoes lasts several generations. The old man uses them to spank the kids, and then hands them down to his eldest son. The chief ambition of young men in all countries where wooden shoes are worn is to have larger feet than their father's so they can have new wooden shoes of their own, but very few achieve this ambition. The Germans reduced thir census to fool the allies on their man-power, and now the allies are reducing the German census to fool the Germans. The woman who used to Make her husband miserable By trying to spend as much As the neighbor women Now makes him miserable By trying to save as much As the neighbor women. The style's the thing. While we may be all wrong about it, there are times when we are just as well satisfied to have our own job as to have Joe Tumulty's. One paper says people are afraid to go to the seashore on account of the U.boats. That's probably the reason the ocean resort hotels are all crowded to the-limit and turning people away. There is a reason for everything!

A Chicago lad has formed a very pleasant opinion of the poilus with whom he has come in contact in France. In a letter home he puts the feeling in this terse phrase: "They're not much on the parley voolng in English, but they sure can shake your hand and smile like hell!" Andy Foster, a well-known character in his native city, had recently phuffled off this mortal coil in destitute circumstances, although In his earlier days he enjoyed financial prosperity. A prominent merchant, an old friend of the family, attended the funeral and was visibly affected as he gazed for the last time on his old friend and associate. The mourners were conspicuously few in number and some attention was attracted by the sorrowing merchant. "The old gentleman was very dear to yon," ventured one of the bearers after the funeral was over. 'indeed, he was," answered the

mourner. "Andy was one true friend. He never asked me to lend him a cent, though I knew that he was practically starving to death." The professor of elocution was instructing an ambitious young man in the art of public speaking. "When you have finished your lecture," he said, " bow gracefully, and leave the platform on tip-toe." "Why on tip-toe?" querried the ambitious young man. "Wo as not to wake the audience," replied the professor.

INSTALL NEW FIRE ALARM IN SCHOOL

Benjamin Kelly, instructor of physics at Richmond high school Is now installing a fire alarm and renovating system in the building and is also overhauling the old tedephone system, putting in new telephones and rewiring the switchboard. Ten alarm boxes are being placed in the building. All are connected to a central station in the principal's office and when an alarm is turned in from any of the boxes, a Klaxon horn sounds and the pupils are marched from the building. The alarm boxes work about the same as the regular city fire alarm boxes. They have a Rlass front which must be broken and then a key Is turned before the horn will blow. The state law requires that these alarm boxes be installed and also that at least one Are drill a week be given the pupils of the school.

According to the new Automobile Blue Books, the scenery twelve miles north of Salem, Indiana, on the Jackson Highway, is very beautiful. For two miles the road gradually ascends, winding as it goes, making 42 turns in that distance.

MOTIVE for Aged People-

THE BANE of old age is constipation. The bowels become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age and older on account of their gentle action.
