Every sober thinking American knows that the elected leaders of our ! nation considered war prohibition necessary, as one of the surest helps toward victory over our beer-drink- ing encmy. Then how can it be ar- glicd now, after the war is won, that the workman's weal depends on the ‘good glass of beer’ which was not thought good for the soldier?

It should read all of her boys. We would gladly entertain them all, if finances and accommodations permitted, but with these limited, we are obliged to restrict it, to those who went out from our church and congregation. Yours respectfully, THOMAS A. JAMES, Chairman of Welcome Home Com- mittee of First Baptist church. We are sure that the understood as explained, New announce- item (Ed). was Morce Hopeful Signs. (New York Herald.) There are more hopeful signs on the labor horizon. Radicals have been held in check, and for the time being con- servative counsel is prevailing. Col- lapse of the threatened strike of work- men in the railroad shaps, failure of the violence predicted on and follow- ing Labor day to materialize, the calm that has followed the storm of a fort- night ago—all indicate a return to reason. There is now time for calm consideration and manifestation of patriotic purpose. The present unrest is the direct re- sult of war. The flurry was predicted and was to be expected. The only mistakke made by the men in public and private life who are now most dis turbed its that they did not prepare for the squall and “trim ship,” as the sailors say. However. the squall sure to pass over and sunshine and calm are sure to follow. The nation is far from ruin, provided America and American interests are put first. Di- vided patriotism means divided loyalty means a weak foundation and a weaker structure.

On the death of Henry V. the elder branch of the Bourbon family became extinct and the damain of Chambord with its magnificent Renaissancescha- teau, passed into the hands of the Spanish Bourbons The dozen or more princes who had an interest in the property at the out- break of the war were di ed in their sympathies. Two of the princes ot Baurbon Parma, Sixte and Xavier, fought with the Allies in the Belgian army, others fought against them with the Austrians. One of the princesses of the family, who became empress of Austria, was suspected in the Centra Empires of lukewarmness towarc their cause, The question now has arisen how to distinguish between friend and Aoe in such cases. On ane point the people of Touraine are agreed and that is that the occasion for the state to take possession of the property should not be missed. R become Count
