HOW WAR MEANS SLAVERY FOR
THE PEOPLE.
Since the wnr began, the national
debt* have boon Increased ns follows:
Great Britain, from $3,500,000,000 to
$4,500,000,000; Germany, from $5,-
000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000; Francs,
from $6,500,000,000 to $7,000,000,000.
The war has added already mors than
$1,000,000,000 saeli to the debts of Gsr
many and England, and $500,000,000
each to ths debts of UtiMsiti ami
Francs. Of course thess enormous
debts do not include either state, nm
nlrt]>al, corporate or personal Indebt
edness, much of which Is the result
of war and of reparations for war.
Neither do they include the waste of
war or the losses occasioned by ths
hindrances of wnr. .lust how much
more wnr and ths penalties of wnr will
add hereafter remains to he declared
later.
But this Is only one Item In the
charts against the war god. The,
debts already due by these nations
are merely war debts They come
either as the direct penalties of It or
aa the cost of preparations for It; and
arc l>> no iiH'.um the whole coat of It,
in that they do not include the huge
cash appropriations and expenditures
upon armies nnd navies that always
constitute the main charges in gov
ernmental burdens
If all the appropriations and riuih
expenditures nnd all the bonded In
debtedness and extraordinary costs of
war were added, of course, the sum
shown in these debts would he doub
led over and over again, but even that
would not represent one-half, one
fifth 01 even a tenth of the actual coat
of war The sacrifices of the people
In lives, property, peace and oppor
tunity can not he estimated accurately
or even approximately. They have
been eo overw helming in the past that,
as history shows, no nation has been
strong enough to survive them. They
are penalties that pass on front gen
eration to generation, from age to age,
from <'id World to New World, and
then back again—this main burden
and curse of the human race.
It has been asked whether these war
debts can ever ho paid, or whether
they must rest as an Interest burden
upon the people for nil time to come.
I'Yance has already marked the great
er part of her bonds irredeemable,
and, with the eonstnnt increases that
are going on the other nations might
at well do the snme. A much more
pertinent question Is how long will
it lie barely possible for the people
of any one of these countries to pay
the Interest on such overwhelming
and oonatantly Increasing burdens.
The nation 1 especially referred to
are the leading nations of ICurope, in
their prime, alive with industry and
commerce and enjoying all the best
means of prosperity and progress. If
they are unable to rid themselves of
the curse and of the penalties that
come of it, what must we expect of
the Aslntie nations, or with countries
like Mexico, which it flooded with the
honda and currency of four or more
different and rival governments In a
single year, and whose people are
raided and robbed continually as the
result of ibis game we call war?
WHAT MURRAY SAID.
"Reprr sentatlve Murray, of Okla
homa, supported the amendment.
"We I ave been told that the vota
hare tonight mean* political death for
many of ua,” aald Representative Mur
ray, “but we ean choose whether we
*•111 have the preacher and the church
choir chant a benediction over the re
main*. or whether we will have a
grave decorated with saloons, brewer
ies and distilleries"
Representative Hobeon took the
floor to make a concluding speech In
support of the amendment. He ar
gued particularly against the Morrison
imendment, asserting that congress
already had all of the authority which
that measure sought to confer Kx
tracf from speech In house yesterday
on the liquor amendment.

THE GOBLIN’S STORY.
.lack was corning homy through the
woods one moonlight night when he
saw a goblin hopping behind bushes
and trees unit acting In the strangest
manner possible.
"Hello, there!" said Jack, “what is
the matter with you? Are you afraid
of being seen?”
"1 am not afraid of being seen by
you," lie said, "hut I wish to keep out
nf the moonlight."
"What Is the matter with the moon
light?" naked .lack, seating himself on
the rock behind which the goblin was
v*. £jf,v r- t/** **
standing .
“If you Imd ever walked along the
path which leads to the moon," said
the goblin, "you would not be wo anx
ious to sit In his light, but being a
mortal, you may never have to ex
perience that I did."
"Wlmt happened to you?" asked
Jack. “Tell me about it.”
The goblin looked at the moon, nnd,
finding a plane where the rock made a
dark shadow, he began his story.
"One moonlight night," he sitid, "I

The advertising oolunnis of this
newspaper are a prosperity index.*
They refleet the spirit of aggressive
merchandising, fighting for business.
They voice the doctrine of free,
fair, open competition.
The advertiser is a good man to
deal with. His prosperity d pends on
his keeping his printed promises.
He must deal as lie preaches. lie
must keep faith with the public.
It is safer to deal with an advertiser
than a merchant or mnnufaetur r who
does business in the dark.
No time to prove thw better than
the Christinas season.
INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
was running through the forest with
my brothers, when I noticed a very
bright streak of light, which looked
like a path leading from the edge of
the forest to the moon.
"So 1 slipped away from the other
goblins and hurried to where the
[.right path began. The path was so
narrow 1 was afraid some of the time
that I should fall off, and the light
gww brighter and brighter until all
ut once I found myself face to face
with the man in the moon.
“'Hello!' he said. ‘What do you
want up here?'
"1 told him I came up hoping to see
strange sights.”
“ 'You shall,' he said; 'go behind ray
back.'
“How shall I get there?’ I asked;
there Is no path, and if I step off this
path tint will he the end of me.’
" ‘Climb over,' he said,
“Now, I am nil expert climber and
there is no height I cannot reach, but
when it comes to climbing over moons,
even the goblins will have to confess
they are clumsy.
“I slipped all over the face of that
moon, not able to get a hold or a foot
ing anywhere. The edge was so
smooth 1 could not keep my fingers on
It ,utid the old man was laughing at
me nil the time.
"Hut after a while he opened his
mouth very wide to luugh at a very
awkward slip I made, and 1 put the
toe of my shoes on his lip and hoppea
to the top.
"I havo moved very fast in my time,
hut the swiftness with which 1 moved
or was removed from the top of that
moon was beyond my swiftest experi
ence.
"A long, lean hnnd reached out and
whisked me from the top of that moon
and into a house that stood behind It
before 1 could catch my breath.
"There were old women with broom
sticks and old women with black cats
under their arms, and old women
leaning on canes, with chins nnd noses
so pointed and crooked that they
met.
“They wore tall, peaked hats with
narrow brims, and they all wore long
capes.
" ‘We have got one at last,’ said the
old woman, who had whisked me off
the top of the moon.
“We better take hint with us to
night.' said another, ‘and teach him to
ride a-broomstick through the air.'
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
"By this time I had recovered from
my fright, and I asked why they were
going to teach me to ride a broom
stick.
" ’We are the witches of the air,”
said one old woman, ‘and we have
long wanted a goblin to help us. To
night we induced the moon to let us
make a bright path, thinking that one
of your number might be tempted to
walk up to the moon.’
" ‘We want to teach you to ride a
broomstick and dust the stars, and
keep the clouds bright and clean.’
”‘l am sure it must be great fun
dusting clouds,’ I said, ‘hut if you will
let me try on something nearer the
ground first, I am sure 1 can dust
clouds as we.l its any one in a short
time.’
■ “The old witches were so pleased to
think I wished to learn their art of
dusting that they consented, and down
they flew to the top of a small tree.
“ ‘Dust the top branches,’ said the
old witch, giving me the fluster, and
she, took me by the shoulder and put
me on the top of the tree.
“Of course I was perfectly at home
In a tree, and 1 shook the duster about,
hiding under the leaves, and when 1
thought they were not watching me
closely I slipped through the branches
of the tree to the ground.
"I did not venture outside our land
for a long time, and now I am very
careful, for the spell of the moon
might tempt me again, and l feel sure
If those witches ever get their long,
lean hands on me again they will not
let me escape, and I shall have to go
on dusting the clouds and stars the
test of my days."

FARMER
The following Is going the rounds
of the press:
(lets up at the alarm of a Connecti
cut clock;
Butttons his Chicago suspenders to
his Detroit overalls;
Washes his face with Cincinnati
soap in a Pennsylvania pan;
Sits to a Grand Kupids table;
Kats Chicago meat and Indiana
hominy fried with Kansas lard on a
St. Louis stove;
Puts a New York bridle on a Ken
tucky mule, fed with lowa corn;
Plows a farm covered by an Ohio
mortgage with a Chattanooga plow;
When bed time comes he reads a
Bible printed in Boston;
Says a prayer written In Jerusa
lem;
Crawls under a blanket made in
New Jersey only to he kept awake
by a Georgia dog, only home product
on the place;
And then he wonders why he can
not make money raising cotton.
OUR RUNAWAY LANGUAGE.
The ordinarily Intelligent man has
a sort of visiting acquaintance with,
say. 7,000 words. He is on familiar
speaking terms with, say. 3,000 of
these. The man of some pretension
as an educated person probably speaks
5.000 words, writes 2.000 more, knows
in all about 10.000 to 15.000. The
scholar- if he Is a very thorough-go
ing student —may meet without em
barrassment any one of some 30,000
words of the language. Yet the latest
of the big dictionaries contains 450.-
000 terms and Us publishers state that
they have examined and rejected 60,-
000 terms In addition. M ean While
every science, every art. every human
activity is busily padding the common
speech with newly Invented words and
phrase*. Literally, the language is
running away with us. Fanciful as It
may seem, this development doubtless
; means that the time 1* coming when
language, taken as the means where
with to express thought, will be di
vided into the language that is spok
en. a son of shorthand of dialect, and
that which is written, a far more
| technical and exact species of learn
ing than we now know. In a clumsy
: wirt of way. the slang phrase Is al
ready approximating this symbolism
of speech. As the language Itself be
| comes cluttered with words, thought
will hunt Its simpler mediums fitted
j for a busy existence.

AN EDITOR'S EASY LIFE.
It is easy to be an editor, the Normal
Bulletin says. To run a newspaper suc
cessfully a man has merely to be able
to write poems, discuss the tariff and
money questions, umpire a baseball
game, repeat a wedding, saw wood, de
scribe a fire so that the readers will
shed their wraps, make $1 do the work
of $lO, shine at a dance, measure calico,
abuse the liquor habit, test whiskey,
subscribe to charity, go without meals,
attack free sliver, wear diamonds. In
vent advertisements, sneer at snobbery,
overlook scandal, appraise babies, de
light pumpkin raisers, minister to the
afflicted, lead the disgruntled, fight to
a finish, set type, mould opinion, sweep
out the office, speak at the prayer meet
ing. and stand In with everybody. And
in addition to the above essentials the
poor editor lias to print a paper once
a week. —publishers' Auxiliary.
HOW THE JAPANESE ADVERTISE.
The Japanese have an original way of
advertising, and they apply to the art
all the poetry that ttietr Oriental lmagl
tlon Is capable of. They have recourse
to the most varied and Improvised meth
ods nnd their combinations aVe some
times as picturesque as they are origi
nal. A Japanese merchant informs his
customers that his good* are sent off
with the rapidity of a shot. A sta
tioner calls his knowledge of natural
history to his aid thus. “Our wonderful
paper is as durable as the hide of an
elephant.” A Tokio grocer borrows
from psychology, anil in mordant lan
guage, announces that “Our vinegar of
extra quality is sharper than the bitter
ness of the moat diabolical of mothers
in-law."
