Our Hearts Hit •Three times, at least, President Wilson in his war policy touched the

very COW <>f America's heart.Our quarrel is not with the German people, hut with tho mad Herman

autocracy. It is what all American people feel.His utterances in respect of the great, generous Ityssian people are sec-

onded by every free American and must put hope, courage and firmness in-to the new democracy of the east.

And when he says that war expenditure should be met by well conceiv-ed taxation rather than hy bond issues, he surely has the united Americanpeople to hack him.

Upon-this last declaration of tho president's we want toexpatiate a bit.A decade ago, other method than bond issue for financing of war would

hardly be thought of. The cost would have been put on the masses, Indis-criminately, and on the unborn generations. Today, the cost, if congress istruly representative, is to he put noon those hest able to hear it. It is thedifference between autocratic power and justice. It is a mighty strong dem-onstration of human progress.

THE PATRIOTWhether right or wrong in its domestic or its for-

eign policy, judged by whatever standard, whether ofexpediency or of principle, the American citizen canyecogniae no social duty intervening between him-self and his country. He may urge reform; but he hasno right to destroy. Instructed with the precious in-heritance of liberty, endowed with the gift of partici-pation in a popular government, the Constitutionmakes him at once the beneficiary and the defender©f interests and institutions he cannot innocentlyendanger; and when he becomes a traitor to his coun-try, he commits equal treason against mankind.—John Albion Andrew.

GazaGaza, south of which, according to the latest dispatches

from London, the British forces, in the course, of their advanceon Jerusiilem, have inflicted a severe defeat upon the Turks, isamongst the oldest towns in the world. It was one. of the fiveprincely I'hillntine cities, and mention of it occurs, frequently,In Bible history. Figuring prominently in the wars between theIsraelites and the Philistines, it is intimately associated with thestory of Samson. Indeed, to this day there is pointed out astrange, isolated hill to the south of thn city called Xl Muntar,"the watch tower," which is claimed to l>e the hill to which Shiii-son carried the doors of the gat* of the city, and the two posts,"and went away with them bar and all,' on the night when thePhilistines of Gaza lay In wait to slay him.

The town lies beyond the sand dunes about two miles fromthe sea, at the meeting point of the old trade routes from Kgypt,Arabia, and Petra to Syria, and in ancient times, as Indeed it is•gain today, it was a place of considerable importance. It waaever a border fortress and a place of trade, and, In spite of therepeated attacks which the Israelites launched against it. Itnever for long-came into their hands. In the time of llcznkiah.It Is true, the men of Judah galued pos»e»nioii of the city, butit quickly passed from them into the control of the king ofAssyria. Then, in the centuries which followed, Gaza sharedthe vicissitudes of all the cities hereabouts. It was besieged andultimately taken by Alexander the Great, in 332 B. C, althoughnot until it had withstood his greatest efforts for five months.and was razed to the ground by Alexander .lannaeus In 96 H.C. Some forty years later, Auius Gabinlus rebuilt the town;but ho ehoM a new site for it, and the old site came to be spokenof as "Old" or "Desert Gaza," and Is, indeed, so referred to inthe eighth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles; "the way thatgoeth down from Jerusalem unto Gazu, which is desert."

The second and third centuries A. D. found Gaza a flour-ishing Greek city, with good schools and famous temples, butglvi ii over to the worship of the local god Mania. The people\u25a0tanchly opposed all efforts to achieve their conversion, and itwas not until the beginning of the Fifth century that they finallyaccepted Christianity. For the next IMO years the city grew\u25a0teadily it. importance and influence. It became a place oflearnii: \u25a0. and was held In high repute far and near. The com-ing of (he Moslem In t;:;;,, however, put out the light, as it were,here as in bo many other places. Gaza lost everything, save itscommercial importance, and at no time during the period of tha- Otusades did It experience, as did Jerusalem, even the smallestreturn of Its ancient glory. It was finally captured by the Mu-hammadrin* in 12H. The only other notable event In its longhistory is the taking of the city by Napoleon, in 1799.

The modern Ga/.a is. In almost every particular, an Kgyptlanrather than a Syrian town. It is full of rich vegetation, and itsmany glistering minarets show up bravely against thn dull greenof Innumerable olive trees. Gaza is still, as of old and always,a place of trade, of camels and caravans, and Its bazaars are for-ever loud with traffi< and filled with merchandise --ChristianScience Monitor.

Viewing that attack on Senator Lodge from a dis-tance, we opine that what Massachusetts pacifistswant is plenty of room to fight. But they shouldtackle Rep. Ike Sherwood; he's only 82.

are ROitiK to fight and pay, too.Hut all of uh nhould show our colors.Let us wear them on our coats!Let us put out flags on our business buildings and our

bomes' Let us turn this town into a riot of red, white and blue!The flag is the symbol of our beloved country. Brave men

and faittiful women have suffered and died for it.Uy allowing our colors today we can show to the world

that Americans now, an always, are ready alike to live noblyor die gallantly for the country that proclaimed the eternalprinciples of liberty and justice.

vitiated atmoaphere of The One He Chose Into the real, clean realmof thought In which Alma and Tom lived. Both these young peoplewere rather sophisticated, using the word in the seu«e of one whoknows, but the Bights and sordidness that their profession brought totheir eyes seemed only to emphasize the wholesome way they lookedupon life.

"Margie, I have heard much about contaminating the youngthrough the Ro-talled realistic writings and plays, and I have come tothe conclusion that no young person was ever made any the worse byseeing such pictures of life and hardships as are set forth In many ofour realistic play*. The average young mind does not understandhalf the allusions' that sometimes make the undercurrent of theseplays iii.-,t:isi. ;nl to the more mature.

"To me today after" 1 have passed through many experiencesxvhich have completely opened the blind eyes of girlhood, I think themost insidious of all temptations is the covering of alluring romancewhich modern writers and dramatists throw around reality.

"The musical comedy with its gliding of the most vicious ofvices la to me a moßt horrible example of this, and the young manor woman who frequents such shows cannot remain pure-mdnded.This may sound prudish, Margie, but I want to tell you I wouldKladly take my girl to see Mrs. Warren's Profession or The EasiestWay. but 1 would hate to have my daughter see one of the so-calledpretty girl shows that have been current on Broadway for the lastfew years.

"Why, Margie, I really believe we have seen so much of thissort of thing Home of us cannot distinguish that which purely appealsto the senses from that which nieuus decency of demeanor and#uiityof mind.

"I found both those with Alma and Tom and I have thanked thegood (iod every day of my life that they were thrown early In mypath. They were both much surprised when I told them 1 was goingto leave the stage.

''I would not do It if I were you, Paula,' said Tom. 'There aremany reanons why a woman who must earn her bread should adoptthat profession. In the first place, it takes you into the realm of art;you are able to do creative work, and where you create you becomeone with God.

"Secondly, the actor's profession is the only one In which womenare paid more than men for the same work. If you succeed you winthe plaudits of the world while you are alive, somethlag few otherartists do. My dear Paula, the sordid phase of the work which youhave just passed through may come to you or any other girl in anyother work that takes her where she must associate with the othersex.

''Personally I think the members of the newspaper profession:rleaneßt of all men as a class, but you have only to ask Alma for

"I let Tom talk on, Margie, but the more he talked the morei determined I was to do something else.

After the battle of Shlloh shewas discovered by an army sur-geon dispensing soup and whiskyto the wounded. She was a shab-by figure wearing the overcoat ofa Confederate soldier, . and foronce she was without her sun-bonnet.

#Moreover she was not at-
