DEMOCRATIC LOWLINESS.
It muni bo admitted, wo think, that
Auttuxt i "domnoratlo government" ban
novor experimented with piihtic sen
tlmont In the direction of enforcing the
prohibition law to the limit of the pub
lic's tolerance.
l-'or ourselves, we cherish the firm
conviction that a more truly democratic
government in Aliquot a would give us
a very near approach to law enforce
ment Isn't It at le at encouraging
to find tint pultle senUment la re
volted at the open deflanVe and aban
donment of the state law under which
Augusta government has been pro
ceeding ?
l’ublir sentiment, hat ing been tested
out on the line of I'iwlessness why
should it not he tested on the line of
law-enforcement? The little Hotter
of last Friday night can not he rcas
nnahly accepted as an indication that
public sentiment in Augusta will only
permit a half step In the direction of
-temperance, for even among those
invited to attend, there was a strong
expression made in favor of protesting
against the defiance of the state law
The point was clearly set forth that
no man would he foolish enough to
spend hundreds of dollars for the priv
ilege of dispensing a beverage that
nobody drinks and that a movement
which had law' enforcement for its pur
pose should necessarily begin by a
low-priced lleenso for those who un
dertake to noil a cheap and unpopulur
beverage.
We helleve this community would
gladly "permit'’ the enforcement of
the prohibition law. hut we do not be
lieve that a movement which contents
itself merely in asking for about half
as much lawlessness at half the price,
ts in reality a movement for law-en
forcement. In fact, while it may re
sult in the benefit of a less number of
open ssloons - which Is without doubt
a very great benefit —we cannot see
that respect for law has gained a sin
gle point.
BUSINESS NEEDS A BREATHING
BPELL.
It lx nitid that the democratic lead
er* of the senate and house will do all
In their power to complete all neces
sary business by March 4 so as to
avert. If possible, the necessity of a
special session of the new congress.
In the absence of unforeseen exi
gencies. there will be no special ses
sion of the new congress, unless It oo
that we are Indifferent to the Indus
trial depression that la affecting bust
ness throughout the entire country.
While It Is true that rreaident Wilson
stressed Important subjects in hts an
nual address to congress. It is plain
enough that the pending supply bills.
If adequately scrutinised by bom
branches bf congress, will consume all
the time of the concluding session .if
the present congress
When we reflect that the present
congress has lw*en in almost contlnu
ous session from the beginning of its
life. It Is not difficult to understand
that business needs a breathing spell.
Many Important enactments have be ii
placed 01* the statute books and these
tor the most part atfect business vital
ly. So In view of the additional strain
that the country must now endure as
a result of war It will be better to
perpdt business to adjust Itself to the
new legislation than to continue tho
development of polities that may re
sult in prolonging uncertainty.
The presence of an almost unprece
dented number of Idle men through
out the country create* a condition
that Is peculiarly distressing and pet
plexlng That the war, for which tins
Country 1s 1n no way to blame. Is re
sponsible for the greater part of this
unemployment. Is true, but to proceed
It) the direction of economic experi
mentation now would necessarily ac
centuate our Industrial difficulties A
little legislative rest at Washington
trill help much and It will lie time
euough a year hence to resume the
program of constructive effort that
has marked the course of the admin
istration thua far.

THE FAULT-FINDING BOY.
Frank was a very pleasant little hoy
most of the time, lie never forgot to re
move his hat when he met a lady or
when lie entered the house.
Hat lie found fault at the table about
Ids food and Ids mother was worried for
fear this fault-finding habit would grow
upon him and he would heroine a dis
agreeable man, foS. of course, no unu
likes a person who finds fault.
One night Frank went to tils room and
undressed and got into lied.
The l.clit from ttic* hall stione on the
picture of three llltle brownie men sit
ting on a fence, and all Ht once they be
gun pointing their fingers at Frutik slut
jumped tight out of tho picture onto ills
lied.
"Get off my lied," suld FVank, "and sit
on Hour fence."
The Utile men put their hands over
their faces nml laughed, their Idg eyes
peeking out through their fingers.
"What are you laughing at?" asked
Frank. Hut they did not reply to Ida

question One of the Brownies pointed
lit Frank at tho window, then he made
h motion to the other*, and FVank felt
him«elf flying out of the window, with a
brown la on each side and one pushing
at his back.
Foon they were In the woods and
Frank run along: with them until they
re o hed a little brown house with u
peaked roof.
The brownie* took Frank into tho
house. It had only one room, the top of
which seemed to run to a point, and
Frank could not see the end of It.
Christmas Problems
A
1 I
I
‘'lf I only knew what to give him” is
a continual daily lamentation.
Surely no harder problem of gift-giv
ing confronts tho average woman than that
of choosing a suitable gift for a man.
Canes, stick-pins, and neckties; hand
kerchiefs, cuff-buttons and gloves; socks,
pocketbooks and fountain pens, are good,
but they have been given with such fre
quency that one sometimes longs for some
thing new.
The merchants who are using the ad
vertising columns of The Herald are bend
ing their energies toward the display of
new wares for their Christmas trade.
A careful study of our advertising col
umns and a visit to the shops will convince
the hurried and worried that "something
different” and “something new” is to be
found.
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
Tie was wondering why he had been
brought to this place when the door
opened and In came the goblins.
“What has he done?" they asked the
brownies.
The brownies did not speak hut made
signH which the goblins seemed to un
derstand.
"O! he finds fault, does he?*’ said one
goblin. "Well, as lie Is a nice boy In
every other way we can draw that fault
out by putting on our famous poultice."
one brownie ran to the fireplace and
lighted a fire, another put a kettle over
It, and the third took from a closet a
number of. Jars.
When the steam came from the kettle
they poured the water over the contents
of the jars and stirred it very fast.
The goblins put Frank on the bed and
one of them said "When you go home
your mother will thank us fee* taking
iway your fault-finding habit, for this
is a sure cure."
One of the brownies brought a steam
ing poultice which a goblin put on one of
Frank’s feet. Another was brought and
put on the other foot, another was put
on his head and another on his chest.
"Take them away," said FVank. "They
are burning me and I do not like them."
"You did not like the soup tonight,"
said a goblin, "but it was good for you
and so are these poultices. You must
keep them on until all the fault-finding
in you is removed," and the goblins
went out followed by the brownies and
closed the door.
"O, dear," said Frank. "T wish I never
had found fault. Help! Help!" he called,
and away up In the peak of the room
Frank saw a light. It came nearer and
nearer. and Frank saw a fairy with a
star on the end of her wand.
*T>ld you call?" she asked, os she
reached the floor.
"Yes." answered Frank; "1 want to
get away from here.”
"1 will help you," snid the fairy, and
she waved her wand over him, and off
fell the dreadful poultices, and tho fairy
took him by the hand.
Up and up they went through the
peaked Yoof and out Into the woods.
When the fairy had taken Frank
where the power of the goblins could
not reach him, she said: "I have helped
you because 1 do not think you intended
to be a disagreeable boy, and l want to
give you another chance. You must not
find fault any more, and when you go
to the table cat what is served and re
member that there are many little boys
and glr s In the wc**ld who are hungry
and would be glad to have a small part
of the nice dinner you have every day.
If the goblins get you again. 1 may not
be able to rescue you and they will put
on the poultices again."

How to Use Red Cross Xmas Seals
Red Cross Seals should, in accordance
with Order No. 6.020 of the Postoffice
Department, "he affixed to the reverse
side of domestic mail matter," and not
on the address side of any letters or
packages that are going through the
mail. They may be placed anywhere on
matter going by express. As many
seals may he used on the back of a let
ter or package as may he desired. Care
should he exercised in sending merchan
dise through the mails not to place seals
over the strings with which the pack
age is tied, since this seals the package
against inspection and subjects it to
first-class postage rates. Users of Red
Cross Seals are cautioned against their
indlscriminating use on foreign mail.
Red Cross Seals in normal times may
find fault any more and the fairy waved
her wand and the star grew brighter
and brighter. FVank opened his eyes and
there was his mother beside the bed
tucking the clothes ground him. •
"What is the matter?" asked his
mother.
"I guess it whs a dream," said Frank
nnd then he told her about the goblins
and the fairy and how the brownies
had carried him off in his dream.

TODAY’S BOMBARDMENT
Hartlepool was the place where the

HaVtlepool formerly was a perfect
specimen of a fortified town. In the
reign of Queen Elizabeth the town fell
Into such decay that !t was spoken of
as “an ancient decayed coast gown,
once a brave, stately and wall fortified
town, now only a sea-land habitation for
fishermen.' It continued to go down
until ISIS when a law was passed for
Improving the port. It then began to
