My country, ’tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty, 
Of thee I sing. 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride, 
From ev'ry mountain-side 
Let freedom ring.

Tur AppeA, Has Gone Forrn from the Governor’s 
office for every one to lay down and sow a piece of land 
and in this way help to increase the supply of foodstuffs. 
It is an alarming fact, but it is too true, that Massachu- 
setts left to its own resources could raise but one half of 
is food supplies. It is an opportunity for everyone. 
Owners of backyard gardens and the owners of great es- 
tates should help this one imperative cause,—the raising 
of more food. ‘(Many owners of large estates on the 
North Shore have already given out word to their gard- 
eners to lay down large tracts to winter vegetables. and 
others, as Mrs. Robert S. Bradley, have placed a part of 
their. farm at the service of the public. Here is a task as 
patriotic as service in the army and navy. Every owner 
of a piece of land should plant and till it and every estate 
owner should issue orders at once for extensive planting. 
Raise all you can and can all you raise, is now the slogan.

GENERAL LEONARD Woop has spoken wisely in his 
communication to the students at Harvard: in advising 
them to stand by their books until they are called for 
service, for they can best serve their nation by progress 
in their studies and continued attention to the military 
instruction which they are receiving. They serve who 
only stand and wait. Patience is a great virtue. Train- 
ing now will be an absolute necessity to the soldier, and 
training takes time. Many may best serve by applying 
themselves to the tasks at hand. When the nation needs 
them they will know where to find their men, trained, 
equipped and ready for service of a high grade. If one 
is patriotic it is the better part of patriotism to serve with 
intelligence and act with wisdom. 
Tue Uniren States Has Become a World Power, 
lloyd George says. “America has at one bound be- 
come a world power in a sense that she never was before. 
She waited until she found a cause worthy of her tradi- 
tions.’ America appreciates the words of praise from 
eee, great leader. However that may be, America 
has been loyal to the great traditions of the past. An 
ignoble peace is always undesirable.

It HAs BeEN Proposep that the allied aviators might 
well aid the cause by dropping peaceful bombs in the 
cainps of the Germans with ‘copies of the President’s 
declaration of a state of war and a call upon the Amer- 
ican people for the maintenance of the national honor. 
It would be well if other bombs could contain this great 
article from the bill of rights and Constitution of Massa- 
chusetts. | “Government is instituted for the common 
good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness 
of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private 
interest of any one man, family or class of men. There- 
fore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable 
and indefeasible right to institute Government; and to re- 
form, alter, or totally change the same when protection, 
safety, prosperity and happiness require it.’ When the 
Teuton people keep that idea lodged in their minds the 
autocracy and militarism of Germany will be forever im- 
possible. | Militarism is impossible where such a spirit 
prevails. If that spirit could once be imbued in old Prus- 
sia, the Kaiser and the Imperial German Government wil! 
perish from the earth. The days of kings and dynasties 
ere doomed.

Ir Has BEEN SuccEstrED by speakers and by news- 
paper writers that the Constitutional convention should be 
postponed until after the war or until the fall. Such 
plans, however, cannot now mature and the election of the 
delegates must go on. 
When the convention convenes it will be possible for the 
delegates assembled to address their immediate attention 
to much needed financial reforms and in this way serve 
the state well and the convention will prove a great aid 
in the emergency. It may be that the delegates ‘will vote 
to adjourn until a latter date, as power is to be given in 
the empowering act. However, the election must take 
place and the convention organized. 
EVERYONE IN THEeEsE TrytNnc Days should know that 
the fire in a fuse always works ahead of the outward ap- 
parent spark and the fuse should be cut as far back as 
possible. When there is no time for such activities the 
bomb should be seized and thrown where it can do the 
least damage or a coat thrown upon it, and then the ob- 
server should run as fast as possible from the scene. The 
coat prevents the shell from scattering, in some measure.

THe War Witt INVOLVE the expenditure of large 
sums of money which must be raised by subscription and 
by taxation. The luxuries of the table will bear their 
share and the usual war revenue processes will be resorted 
to. America is willing to be taxed for the cause. The 
price will be paid through increased taxes and the cost of 
supplies. Wealth, brains and men are all to be mobilized.

A New ENGLAND ScHoor, TEACHER in order to test 
the general knowledge of the pupils asked in an examina- 
tion what was the motto of the United States. Two. in- 
teresting replies were among those received: “Watchful 
waiting” and “Give me liberty or-give me death.” The 
pupils ‘had caught the spirit of the times, if they were un- 
aware of their brilliancy.

Twick IN OnE WEEK shots have been exchanged 
with prowlers, who have been detected lighting fuses. 
In one case the lighted bomb was thrown to an enbank- 
ment and exploded without damaging the bridge and the 
other bomb was not placed, the renegades having escaped. 
THe GERMAN-AMERICANS have received notifications 
from the President that they will be unmolested if they 
conduct themselves with decorum. Peace-loving Germans 
have nothing to fear from Americans.
