May the spirit Of Grant lie over them till
When the sons of the North advance.
Here’s to t he Gray of the sun-kissed South
When they meet on the fields of France.
May the spirit of Lee lie over them all
When the sons of the South advance.
And here’s to the Blue and the Gray as one
When they meet on the fields of France.
May the Spirit of God he over them all
When the sons of the Hag advance.

The following editorial from the
pen of Henry Watterson, written
upon the occasion of the fiftieth
ann '.ii-ary of th*‘ Louisville
| Courier Journal, is timely. It is
worth careful reading and serious
consideration :
And now after all these years,
lire Courier Journal faces the
greatest cataclysm, the most dire
ful tragedy, of all these ages,
i The world is torn up by the roots.
It is literally up-side down. If,
when we get “over there” in the
coming spring, we are not able to
end the war —if, tor any reason,
the campaign dwadles as it has
been doing—‘each side just able to
bold its own, neither side able to
attain decisive advantage-through
the summer and autumn and into
the winter 1918-19 —something
will break loose in this country,
and maybe, in other allied coun
tries as well.
Heaven help the world if the
war issue gets into the tangled
web of American politics; though
even worse might come to pass.
The Courier-Journal is not a pes
simist. It has been always an op
timist. Yet seeing that the uni
verse has gone in collapse at least
twice according to its recorded
story, why not once again?
It is not a stretch of fancy to
conceive, even from surface indi
cations, an irrepressible conflict
between capital and labor, i. e.,
the rich and the poor, to be possi
ble. That may be hut a question
of time in the Anglo-Saxon part
of it. How shall it be settled; as
our sectional irrepressible conflict
was settled ?
Human nature and character do
not. seem to have changed, either
for better or worse, with the de
velopment of human ingenuities.
Men and women appear much the
same as they appeared two thou
sand —five thousand —years ago.
With the manhood of this genera
tion depleted by war and havoc,
its womanhood unsexed and de
generated by feminism, who in
the final test shall come to the
rescue of civilization ?
These are ugly questions. And
they rise like lions across the
highway. Shall it be written that
the nations, having reached the
apex of the acclivity —having ar
rived where Greece was —where
Rome was —wealth and luxury
able to go no farther —deliberate-
ly set themselves to annihilate one
another and to destroy the accre
tions of the centuries? As mat
ters are who can say they may
not be for the third time on the
down grade, headed for another
C} cle of what we call the “Dark
Ages ?”
Surely the future looks black
enough, yet it holds a hope, a sin
gle hope. One, and one power
only, can arrest the descent and
save us. That is the Christian re
ligion.
Democracy is but a side issue.
The paramount issue, underlying
j the issue of democracy, is the re
ligion of Christ, and Him crucified;
the bedrock of civilization; the
source and resource of all that is
worth having in the world that is,
that gives promise in the world to
come; not as an abstraction; not
as a huddle of sects and factions;
but as as a mighty force and prin
ciple of being. The Word of God,
delivered by the gentle Nazarene
upon the hillsides of Judea, sanc
tioned by the Cross of Calvary,
has survived everv assault. It is
now arrayed upon land and sea
to meet the deadliest of all as
saults, satan turned loose for one
last final struggle.
The Kaiser boldly threw down
the gauge of battle—infidel Ger
j many against the believing world
—“Kultur” against Christianity—
the Gospel of Hate against the
Gospel Love. Thus he is in satan
personified—“ Myself and God”
merely his way of proclaiming it —
for his “God” is belzebub, the
Agent of Destruction, his creed
tiie devil’s own, his aim and end a
hell on earth. Never did Crusad
er lift batde-axe in holier war
against the Saracen than is waged
by our soldiers of the Cross against
the Germans. The issues are in
deed identical.
If the world is to be saved from
destruction —physical no less than
spiritual destruction —it will be
saved alone by the Christian re
ligion. That eliminated leaves
the earth to eternal war. For fif
ty years Germany has been or
ganizing and laboring to supplant
it with “Kultur,” the genius of in
fidelity, Her college professors
have been obsessed with it. In
acclaiming “Myself and God,” the
Kaiser has put the imperial seal
upon it. When our armies have
run it to its lair —when they have
crushed —naught will have been
gained unless the glorious banner
of the cross is hoisted —even as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness—and the misled mass
es of Germany are bade to gather
about and beneath it as sadly they
collect the debris of their ruin for
the reconstruction of the Father
land.
The first and worst of all frauds
is to cheat one’s self. All sin is
easy after that. —P. J. Bailey.

that he has used no other hulls but Buckeye for the past
year and gets good results. Cows have not been both

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
