"The South is in the saddle," and the fact that it is southernizing things generally is plainly to be seen everywhere that Uncle Sam has domain. The day, week, month or year, American Christianity is strong and courageous enough to give Negroes brotherly freedom, it will be as acceptable in God's sight as was the manger of Bethlehem that carded his son—the Savior of men. Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook has been reappointed to the Board of Education of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Cook is a sincere friend of the people, and her reappointment is a most agreeable proof that the community is pleased with her work. We believe it would be a wise act for Congress to set aside the game and fish laws, while the war lasts, with a rigid punishment provided for those who would hunt or fish commercially. Meat is so high and scarce the poor can scarcely get any, and if it keeps on as it is going, it will be next to impossible for them to get along. Senator Penrose, Borah, Lodge, Pomerene, Reed, LaFollette and Stone are men who have statesmanship permeating their whole beings, and the fact that they have the interests of these grand United States at heart is plainly evident to farseeing individuals everywhere. The tenets they preach may be temporarily obscured from view, but the day is not far distant when their remarks will be quoted, and referred to as emanating from men who saw when others said they were pro-German and blind. The Bast Saint Louis murder and burning of innocent men, women and children, with martial law standing by the helpless to defend them has left an ineffaceable stain on the escutcheon of the United States. A country that can maintain its Society For The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, its Missionary Societies, its Bands of Mercy, and its Red Cross Society, fostere social and moral advancement, represents culture and the highest civilization, that rushed to the aid of the suffering Belgians that is even now fighting for the cause of Democracy and humanity, should stand aghast at such inhuman cruelty to her citizens. It looks as if influential white and colored men have made so much ado about "that high blood pressure" that Major Charles Young never had, that the War Department and Secretary Newton D. Baker, (and by the way he is a former Martinsburger) have decided to let him remain in the army. To be more exact we quote Secretary Baker as follows: "I hope the board will find Col. Young still able to perform --- active duty. In the meantime, I have directed that he be restored to active duty, and have at least the hope of being able to have his assistance for the present." The above has a fair sound, and knowing Secretary Baker as we do, we believe he means what he says. In the meantime, we would advise every Negro in West Virginia to write to his respective Congressman and our two Senators to use their influence, and votes to see that Major Young gets a "square deal" when his case comes up for final disposition before the War Department. What, if anything has been done to set this country right relative to that Boston mob of the Socialists by our soldiers? As we see it, it was akin to that East St. Louis, Illinois, wholesale butchery of innocent human beings, and its echoes that have crossed the seas, will reflect no respect for our boasted "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave." Both should be most thoroughly looked into and such an example made of the lawless men who were responsible for the respective outrages that their like will never again occur. Four thousand of England's greatest men are sentenced to a year's imprisonment for opposing conscription. It is as much of a wonder what effect those great scholars will have on the future of Europe, as will its war. Let us watch both. And, by all means let us hold sacred Patrick Henry's declaration—"liberty or death," and jail no manly man for his honest conviction expressed. The whole world needs in these bloody times freedom of expression and its allowance will make lovers of America, The change from city to country life, recently made by Mr. "Meb" Blondel and family is, in the midst of these hard times, a lesson for every young city married man. Although born and reared in Martinsburg, and only leaving for the country last April, his farm is a picture of beauty and will net him many hundreds of dollars. His wife and children took to the farm life and its various duties like young ducks to water. Mrs. Blondel milks three cows and makes pounds of butter up in the teens, and is as busy on the farm as is a well trained German woman. We hope youthful Martinsburgers will go out and see them and catch the spirit and do likewise. The day, week, month or year America, as God wills, gives the Negroes brotherly freedom, it will be as acceptable in his sight as was the manger of Bethlehem that cradled his son, the Savior of me COMMUNICATED. Dear Friend: The July issue of "Crisis" has a quotation from your paper beginning thus: "Kick him. Allright Boss." This kicking has been too long permitted hence it has become a babit with some low-minded souls. The Negro is entitled to respect, he is a man, he is a citizen of the United States, and in the sight of God, the Negro brother can claim these rights. The law of God is superior to that of the limited and selfish laws of man. When will our country act in a democratic way? Yours for justice to Negroes, Raymond Vernimont, Catholic Priest, Box 75, Denton, Texas.

A most surprising Australian bird is the kookooburra, or laughing jackass. All at once in the quiet bush come loud peals of uproarious, mocking laughter. One is not inclined to join in the merriment—it all seems as foolish and weird as if an idiot boy were disturbing a congregation in church. When the source of the laughter is located it turns out to be a silly looking bird, with clumsy, square body and open mouth, sitting unconcernedly on a stump. — National Geographic Magazine.

I told my husband if he would get me a bottle of Cardui I would try it....
