O46 persons we're killed on American

And in this slaughter there is no
prospect for an armistice aud no hope
of cessation of fatalities. But do

loudly for Intervention as those of

THE HAND REARED BOY.
Kansas City Journal: An old
farmer in Nemaha county remarks
that a homegrown, hand.spanked,
barefooted and hard.fsted country
boy makes a better fighter in the
battles of life than does the pampered,
high.colored, creased.trousered youth
of our town and cities whose clothes
have always been busted with whisk
broom instead of shingle
RECIPROCITY.
Farmers' Voice: Reciprocity was
the theme of two days discussion at
Chicago august 1917, and there Is
hope in the minds of thoughtful peo.
pie that the result ultimately is to be
the modification or abolishment OF
prohibitive tariffs. which, while eff.
fectually protecting" certain large
interests, also have served to shut out
of European markets American man
ufactured and agricultural products.
The reciprocity conference was with.
out doubt the most representative
ever called for the purpose of secur.
ing modification of American tar.

populi,t We'd one with the other In
their emphatic demands for such
changes as would result in benefit to
the whole people instead of a few
favored ones who are making the
mos. of their opportunities to extort
from the home people while effect.
lively closing world markets to them.
The conference was In high sense
representative of the best thought Of
farm and factory, and If its demands
fail of realization 1t will be- because
the United States Senate and the
special privileged interests, of the
country still rule the land.
DESTINY.
Cincinnati Enquirer: The annexa-
tiOn of Cuba to the United States is
destiny: or If not, 1t 10 in the logic of
what some people are disposed to re.
gard as wicked events. The annexa-
tion would be accomplished instantly
were 1t not for the terrors of the race
problem.
DIPLOMACY.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: A few
years ago everybody stood in awe Of
the word diplomacy. In these en-.
lightened days the fact is generally
realized that skillfui' diplomat Is
only horse trader in disguise.
