Kansas is characterized by the Mar
Quette Tribune as q state where half
the Inhabitants are agents.
A baby is a mighty good thing to
have. says he Turon Press. but q
twenty-year-old one should be put in
the smoke house and cured.
What can be more dangerous to
the public than q drunken man rum
ming an auto along the public high
way. queries the Douglass Tribune.
and it adds: An attempt was made
at the last legislature T. make 1t q
felony for a drunken man to go on
the road or street in a power driven
vehicle. 1t failed to pass. but 1t
should have been enacted. The trav-
cling public has a right to protection
from such inexcusable danger.
This suggestion from the Conway
Springs Star is probably applicable to
every community in Kansas: Some
of the little fellows who have formed
the habit OF standing In the middle of
the road when they see an auto COM
ing and in a playful mood see how
close they can get to a car when 1t
passes. are going to be picked up all
fiattened out some Of these days.
Parents should warn their children to
stop this venturesome foolishness.

THE COST OF THE WAR.

Assuming $4,000 men in arms.
Yves Guyot recently estimated the cost
OF the war, upon Balkan experience Of
$3.50 q day per man, at $22. 0O0. 900 a day.
An earlier and less detailed estimate
fixed the cost as $50, 00O. 900 day. Such
estimates of M. Guyot's fail to cover
loss by crop waste, by destruction of
property, by mobilization before the
war and in neutral countries. Mate
rial damage in Belgium has already
reached $500. 000. 900; in France perhaps
twice az much. What 1t has been in
Galicia. Poland and East Pruaaia, and
may be later, who knows? Ono year
OF the war upon a daily estimate midi
way between NJ. Guyot's and the, high
est, say at $50. 600 900 day, would cost
more than $11 900 .O00. 900. Material dam
age and indirect loss would reach half
as much: 1t is already gigantic. The
entire estimated wealth Of the eight
European nations at war is 1921 zoo. 000.-
900. The war could not continue a Sec
ond year without costing them one
tenth of their garnered wealth OF CEN
turtles; and neutral nations q sum
smaller, but considerable. Upon such
a showing a longer war seems imoos-
stble-New York World.

full progress in nearly all OF the cities
OF this country during the last few

portance that it has become necessary
to have city control, and in many
places directors and supervieors of re-
creation have been appointed. Cleve-

pervise baseball. In Cleveland this
year over 10000 persons crowded into
q park provided by the municipality
to see q baseball game between two
amateur teams: 10000 other people
were turned away because there was
