order lo keep pence will) Japan, nnd
the Japa did Juat like Hitler—'they
went on and did the very thing* they
had pledged themselves not to do,
It la an example of pure nerve which
the world seldom aeon when Britain
now toll* the Japs to go Jump In the
lake, and they will open 1he Burma
road The road might not be that
Important, with Its 2,000 miles of
tortuous winding, with wnshout* nnd
hills hard to negotiate, hut the prin-
ciple of the thing Is what counts af-
ter nil Arid If Japan wants to war
on Britain, maybe one more enemy
would not make so much difference.
The Japan nltuallon has the more
Interest for thla country on account
of the (rouble we have alwny* had
In getting along with that country,
We do not hnve any desire to fight,
nor do we enjoy the situation of cut-
ting off trade relation* with every
country where Japan wants a mon-
opoly The recent announcement
that Germany, Italy and Japan are
Just the same as one In this war has
probably beon cooked up for the
benefit of the United States. The
dictators assume that this country
will be so much afraid of a war In
the Pacific that we will cut off our
aid to Britain, And It would be a
automobile and airplane were Invent-
ed, and We could never go buck now
to the world that was This genera-
tion has no Idea of what Is In store
for us tomorrow, but we do know
the situation will not be aa It Is to-
day, There might he compensation!.
This country has seemed to have a
surplus of labor. Being forced to a
war-like attitude could be the out-
let for surplus energies, which at the
same time would bring us protection
In a world Inhabited by a gang of
thieve*.
One more observation on the war,
As this country prepares for Induct-
ing n considerable portion of Its young
men Into military service, there Is n
spirit of general co-operation that re-
mind* one of the last Worflhl war. In
thla county a holiday will be de-
clared on Oct HI, when a large force
will be available for the registration,
nil serving without pay. The draft
boards will serve without pay, des-
pite the fact that a heavy portion
of the time nnd thought of their mem-
bers will be taken, The Idea every-
where Is that this country Is enlist-
ing not only the boys who will wear
Ihe uniform, but all the rest of us
us well, And before this thing Is
oyer, those who can do nothing more
tolerably sufe bet that most of Ja- —
pan's bluster Is bluff. In spile of •»»«" P“y *** will be given an op-
... i i in ...i.. 1 H 11 n 11 /. r /I / . I • * I Uni III.. t,.
the fact that this country Is bitterly
oposed to launching Into a war with
anybody, the fact remains that we
could easily be forced Into It, as
was the case when the Kaiser thought
we wouldn't and couldn't fight And.
Just to view Ihe hopeful side of the

dall,
Andrew Ward Beck was born Jan.
91. Iflflp, at Vera, Knox county, nnd
grew to manhood In that vicinity lie I

auto repair business, of which he!
made a success, and was operating |
his garage south of the court house
at the time of hi* death. For the
past several years his health had not
been good, and his untimely death
may have been brought on tty the
experience* of the World war,
Ward Beck’s life has been above
reproach, nnd he was always on the
"square” with his fellow man It
has been *uld that If all our citizen*

be no need of courts,
