"I iri.;mr-r w r.cH arrrcciaic wnai it on or The books tell us that there was never a real gypsy in thi country, but every now and then you sec a band of dark-skinned people irivtlmc like gypsies arc supposed to travel; they call themselves gypsies, and so far as we know they arc gypsies. The other room ing three vehicles passed through town gypsy wagons, gypsy horses and gypsy men and women and children. Strange as it may appear, no dog accompanied them. The hor?e were lean and raw-boned; the wagons dilapidated; the .women folk wore the red drett and other colors of apparel; the men looked the part, and whither they were going we didn t stop to inquire. In reading some of the old novels, perhaps Lytton best portrays gypty life, one wants to minjrle with this strange people: wants to share for a time their indolent life; wants to go foraging with them and eat the dinners cooked in the woods; wants to hear the music oflhe instru ments on which they perform; but when you get a clo!c view of the strange people perhaps you are not inclined to make your vacation their way. Wandering about aimlessly: stealing, in the old days, enouch to live upon: tradini? hortet; bartering different kinds of cheap good; telling fortunes and not carinc much what happened tomorrow, uch was their life, strange indeed to the busy man, but said by some philosopher to be the best life ever lived. They figure it out that Gold is not only nothing, but think the price men pay for gold it higher than any other commodity. Maybe it it true. These philosophers, grim and de termined, tell us that the man who early puts hit note to the grindstone of commerce and spends a life chasing dollars, grubbing and digging and saving gold, gets nothing out of the existence to be passed on earth. They take the brilliant success of the gold grubber and place beside it its mournful eclipse, the early grave, the worry and toil attending it, and paint for you a picture. They will show you an humble cottage, with smoke curling front, ihf chimncv rudfv .built f brick or IZ-; thevvrnrjijow tou a orciiv sauarp a WHERE JOHN IS STILL STRONG CHEAP BUNCOMB AoUU I Int KlUl i The news is sent out of Washington to the jn the House, when the conscription bill effect that John Barleycorn is yet invincible, was being discussed, it remained for one of- It was the hope for some time of the prohibi- the Congressmen to .tell galleries that those- ,: .... . ... ,t favoring conscription were men like Vail, and Uonists that now would ue the opportune mo- , , ... r . 1 j Morgan and other men who represent the big mciu w wipe wmsKcy on vicuu, t things of the Nation.

All money to the man who does not possess it is naturally tainted. Of course. But', suppose all ambition ended there among the flower gardens and wish the chil dren tinging and playing their little games. Where would the world be and what would be the use of the talents God Almighty has given men? Then we would have no mechan ics, no men to create such marvelous machin ery at we have today ;no inventors; no air ships; no submarines; no men-of-war; noth ing but the push-cart and Old Dobin for loco motion, and naught but crude implements to till the field or produce the needs of man. It I would be a quiet world; a stagnated world; a world always taking a holiday, and no great commercial enterprises would be born. The brain, ever alert to fashion somc marvelous mechanical device, would grotv inactive; "en terprises of great pith and moment would turn awry and lose the name of action. No, Claudius, dream not thus of gypsy life or pastoral life. Go ye hence in yonder wil derness of unknown lands; go out on the undiscovered high seas and fashion there your route. Take the route that others have made, im- prote on their handicraft or seek new fields of endeavor yet untrod by man; but go. and go. as the Argonaut of old. in quest of the Golden Fleece. God decreed it so, and so it must be. If you meet with storm-lashed waves and return in stripes clinging to a broken par, and jeers and jibes meet your listening ear. understand that others have gone before; that 5uccess is not to all, though all must strive to attain it. The gypsies who pased through town yesterday morning toil not. neither do they spin and Solomon in all hit glory was not arrayed like one of those gypty queens but their lives arc barren; they arc as the mistletoe that lives its barnacle life, supported by a tree that cannot shake them off. Gold may have its taint, but it has its use. and all of us must strive to obtain !l o Better volunteer today it morrow. least while the war was in progress. It was pointed out by them that in Russia and France intoxicating liquors were prohibited by the governments; it was claimed that whiskey reduced the fighting strength of sol diers, and it looked like it would be an easy matter, with our nation" almost ready for na tional prohibition, to adopt most any wat measure concerning it. But the story is that in raising the two bil lion dollars needed at once taxes must be levied, and Old 'John is the 'shining mark, lie has always been such a source of direct revenue that he has been exalted where he should have been debased. He has made be lieve that he was an economic necessity; that through him alone could revenue sufficient be raised to run the country, and each year his 1 or tn cheers. Whenever you are making a. , speech to the grandstand and can mention vj Morgan and lesser lights in the multi-million-. aire -world, and mention them disrespectfully, -you draw the applause of the gallery. - The' ; Congressman didn't mention the ." fact that 3 Morgan and the other rich men he did name had taken no active part in. the conscription plan that President Wilson had insisted rt;, upon it; had said it was the only thing to do. . When Morgan and the othei men of money are willing to finance the war they are abused ' , for it, and the rabble doesn't stop to. think ; ' that a democratic Congress in the majority, . aided and abetted by most all the republicans, r: .voted for the war; that a democratic Presi-.' r dent, endorsed the second time by our people, " ; . called Congress together for the sole purpose many millions contributed have been played of declaring war; that the upper and lower tip to show what a great force he is. Now it is proposed to increase the tax to make whiskey pay the government perhaps twice what it now pays, and if this. is done it is easy to get a few millions directly Gom John, but indirectly from the people whom John de bauches. It is said that the beer tax and whiskey tax run into the many millions each year, no mat-, ter how much prohibition territory there is; and it is claimed that if this tax is doubled or trebled it will be an easy matter to raise the desired amount of money. And the story further says that prohibitionists will again compromise; that it the government will re fuse to let sailors and soldiers have whiskey and beer it will be all right to allow its manr ufacture. Strange how many compromises have been been made with evil in this worjd but not so strange: when it is understood that Evil al ways, has the ptire-aixdui .willing te:pay. what ever ficense is tiemanded. He Is A Big Man. The Henderson Dispatch hands down, this houses of Congress unanimously voted the seven billion dollars to prosecute the war -they forget all this-and 'hold, up a few excep- ; tionally rich men to ridicule because they be- , lieve as Mr. Wilson believes. In other words, if a rich man, successful . and doubtless well informed, advocates any thing that leaves room, for igrandstand piay , the artist is at once on the job and the rich man. is skinned alive. - So far as we are concerned, and it makes little, difference, we have been against con scription until the volunteer process was thor- '. oughly tested. We have insisted upon this,; not that it would make a particle of differ- V ence, but because it was. up to us to -be on , one side or the other, and we felt,, and still ;- feel, that conscription in the start and until. yl--all other means are exhausted is wrong. We r were glad to see that Speaker Clark came out . ; on the same platform glad to know that all men aire v hot with tPresideiitWilojnJlfiB5!:? A.

He is a wonderfully above the little, jealousies of life and beyond l t t f I a 1 a a. t .i . r . may rain to- And that ghastliness. hitching lot remains in' all its big man and, like some other big men, he makes mistakes. When Kitchin made that sob-touching speech and voted against the majority of Congress he made a fearful mis take one that has cost him many friends politically. Kitchin forgot that he was more than an individual. He was the House leader. and when he saw he couldn't vote with his President and a majority of the House which ; he essayed to lead and couldn't it was up to I l . A 1...m n i m A 1 - n . I I MA.itL V. . . . I iiiwi iu ii4ic (u.vu iiw aiiu tvtjji ins uiuuiu sum, or voted no, made his speech and resigned as House leader. In other words, Mr. Kitchin didn't take an inventory of himself. He seemed to forget that he was there supposedly representing the administration ; he was there to lead first in all administration measures, and when he saw he couldn't hold the job, if his conscience balked, it was up to him to resign and then say what he wanted to say as a private mem ber of the House. ,4t'Zl Big men make mistakes. All of them .have, and perhaps Kitchin in his present activities is attempting to atone for his mischief. We regretted very deeply that Mr. Kitchin so far forgot his duty as to make war against the House, becaufc that speech of nis was a wet blanket on the flames that were not burning any too brightly. Had Kitchin delivered a speech such as it was expected he would de liver, and which he should 'have delivered as House leader, it would have been worth a great deal to the country just then. o When the Associated Press told us that loo.ooo men had been killed it looked fishy, but it had come, by cable and in going' to press we didn't have time to walk to London the pettyf ogging tactics of the grandstand - artist who jams the wind on all occasions and ; who fills the air with his spume and foam. There is but little doubt that the conscript tion bill will become a law. That is almost inevitable, and made, doubly so because of the fact that men are not voluntarily walking to the Captain's office. . to verify the figures, so we printed what we received. o A Distinct Force. The traveling man is a distinct force all the time, but it is gratifying to know that just now he is of great worth to his country , greater than in times of peace. Many of the organizations throughout the country have held patriotic meetings and agreed to talk the flag and the country at all times and iinder all circumstances. The traveling man is intelli gent and strong. He sees many people and as a booster for the cause will prove a Won derful 'force. In fact, the traveling man has much to do with shaping public opinion. He . t . is next to tne rename newspaper in that re gard. ' ' ; To Advertise Bonds. The government intends to prepare advert . ising mattef and ask the newspapers of the country to advertise free its wares. At the same time the makers of print paper are hold ing up the publishers to the limit, taking all their profit and Uncle, Sam is talking about t levying an income tax on subscriptions and ... advertising, and also of increasing the rate of postage to three cents a pound. All of which : is good business, but why Uncle Sam should ask newspapers to Turnish their product free when he is willing: to pay the market price for : . his other supplies we do not know. The advertising columns of a newspaper are just as much the newspaper's stock in trade as the goods on the merchant's shelf. That is where the revenues come' from to run the V business, and it looks like Uncle Sam should I : invest in printer's ink the same as a merchant. i Indeed, if the newspaper gives upits advertis- " ing space free it can't run. That is a inch : : O- - -VK- Getting The Start.
