REAL PATRIOTISM.
A prominent Griffin man said the
other day the government can have
his business or anything else he pos
sessed if it needs it and wants it. That
is real patriotism.—Griffin News and
Sun. It is the kind of patriotism that
all of us should feel. And it. may be
necessary before the war is over for
us to give up far more of what we
have than we have ever dreamed of
having to give up. We hope it won't
but we fear it will.—Columbus Enquir

A tremendous subscription to the j
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as di
tressing to the German people a,
Llefeat for them on the battle field,
and it will mean as much. It spells
their defeat; it breaks their morale;
it means power to their enemies. A
! subscription to the loan is a contribu
tion to German defeat and American
j victory.
*
A FALSE IDEAL.
| Some of us are not obliged to work,
and some decline to; but these are
■ the minority.
As most of us occupy ourselves
! principally in making a living we may
as well do something that we like,
even if we make a few bad shots be
i
j fore we hit our vocation. Just now,
the government is doing the chosing
for us, but the war will not last for
ever, and this philosophy applies for
all time.
j The greatest tragedy in life is a
i vocational misfit. Premature death is
melancholy, but it is a cheerful des
tiny compared with a life prolonged
for fifty years in an uncongenial call
ing.
.Many a man works like a slave for
a living to avoid dying, but if he
I would stop avoiding it he would es
cape the trouble of working altogeth
jer. His work is painful; death will
'get him at the finish; it might as well
get him at the start.
Every one of us is good at some
thing, hut most of us are doing some
thing else. Were it otherwise, every
one would be a success, and the world
would be Paradise.
The Socialists in New York have
demanded a six-hour work day. Which
seems to suggest that they have ex
treme ideas on the subject of work.
Anything that wearies you in six
hours is the wrong job for you. Drop
it, and do something else.
No one ever put a great achieve
ment on record while waiting for the
quitting whistle. Dislike of work
does not prove that work is a curse.
It proves that we are poor guessers
in picking our jobs.
And when a branch of the Socialist
party goes on record by classifying
>vork among the woes of mankind, it
is up to the rest of the Socialists to
assist their weakening brethren to a
ntore wholesome conception of tho
purpose of life.
TAKE A HOPEFUL MEW.
Whilst the whole world seems to be
topsy-turvy at the moment, there is
hope that it will change for the bet
ter before a great while.
It cannot be much worse than it is
at nresnt.
Humanity would be annihilated if
present conditions remained for long.
Nobody wanted the war hut Ger
many.
And she is now sorry she precipat
ed it.
She v. i,! he more sorry before it is
ever.
