Distribution of the Cost of War

Even if the war should come
to an end in few months, the
echo of it's disturbing effect
would be felt in the market for
capital, because of the consider
able loan which would be neces-
sary for the governments involv-
ed to offer to the public. Experts
ence in former wars has shown
that the countries which prepare
to absorb new issues of their ma
tional loans do so by quietly re
ducing their holdings of foreign
securities. In time of peace,
this would not be done with the
precipitation and sacrifice of
values which occur under the
threat of war, but the effect
would probably be to depress
the price of other securities and
make it difficult to obtain capital
for new enterprises while the
costs of war were being dis,
tributed over the worlds money
markets.
America, therefore, whatever
her temporary profits from an
enhanced demand for certain
products and the opening of new
opportunities for her commerce
and shipping, will be compelled
to bear some share of the loss
caused by the consumtion Of
hundreds of millions of the
worlds savings in supporting
contending armies and keeping
ing them supplied with the weap
ons. of obstruction. From

Hog Cholera Looses Big.

Webster-A number of LOSSES
from hog cholera have been re-
ported from the western part of
the county and it behooves the
farmers to take precautionary
measures to guard the spread of
the disease. Thus far the disease
has only appeared on three or
four farms, but wherever it has
appeared it's ravages have been
very heavy.
A little precaution at this time
and a small outlay in disinfect-
ants may save heavy loss later.
The farmers had better be on
the safe side and use every means
in their power to prevent the
disease from becoming general
over the country.

American Doctrines Not Outworn

It is time for all Americans to
have a new baptism Of faith in
the old American creed of liberty
and popular self government.
Until recently it was not the
fashion in this country to approve
of the institutions of royalty or
of privileged aristocracy. But
along with the growth of great
fortunes in America there has
been evolved kind of Snobbery
that has sadly infected some
American men and a great many
American women. There has
been shameless and disgrace
full readiness to transfer Ameri-
can women plus money to the
support of titles and hereditary
privilege in Europe. The great
est and best things of England,
France, Germany, Austria, and
Italy have been won in spite of
the heavy handicap of aristocracy
and privilege in association with
the military caste. The evils of
aristocratic systems must not
be ignored merely because many
individual members of the aristo-
cracy are virtuous, cultured, and
worthy members of society.
Even the German Emperor, des-
pite his medieval franticism and
assertion of divine authority, is
a most interesting and attractive
figure in his great versatility;
and he stands out unquestion.
ably, in American opinion, as the
most popular of all hereditary
rulers. But the systems that he
represent do not make for the
welfare Of modern peoples, nol
for their security and peace

World, J" in the American Review

The Beginning of School.

School opens this week and to
many mothers, it is simply a
time when the youngsters must
be presented at the school house,
washed, scrubbed and mended
Responsibility for their welfare
is turned over to the teacher for
the rest of the year. The ordi,
nary home takes to little inter.
est in school work.
Teachers do not hold one DO
sitio. year after year as much as
they used to. They take low
paid positions for a short term,
and then are apt to move on and
upor elsewhere. Under these con-
ditions, they may not know the
parents personally. Lacking
such knowledge there is little
mutual helpfulness.
Another cause creating this
break is the fact that new meth
odes are so much used. Form
erly a parent could give the child
a good deal Of help on problems
that bothered him. Now the
language of the text book and
the method of operation are apt
to be wholly new. Assistance
rendered in the home often leaves
the child more perplexed than he
was before. This creates in the
mind of the parents a feeling
that it is useless to interfere.
The less parents understand
of school methods the more they
become critical and suspicious.
Hence the many cmoplaints that
this boy and that girl is not get
ting fair play. Also the teacher
is left with the feeling that the
home atmosphere is hostile and
will not back her up.
Parents should not take the
education of their children thus
4 lightly. 1t is not a matter mere
ly of merchandise, which they
buy with their tax bills as they
: buy their groceries. A little
: attention to a child's report card
| and his tests may help save {
waste of school privileges tina
will afterward be a lifelong re
. gret. 1t takes but little time
to drop in at the school room
Itis scene of hope and cheer
Any parent will feel younger fol
the visit, and may be able t,

Paul Williams
Found Dead
Associated Press cablsgram Brings
Sad News to WIImont Family.

Just as the Republican was go
ing to press yesterday afternoon
Associated Press representatives
at Sioux Falls called up this Of
flee over the telephone, asking
for information regarding the
Williams case, saying they had
just received a cablegram read
ing, Paul Graves Williams
Found Dead in Alps" Further
information was not obtainable.
1t is probable that the state
department gave the news item
to the press association at Wash
ington after receiving the cable
gram from the ambassador in
Switzerland, because up to late
yesterday afternoon the parents
had not been officially notified.
The information, sad as it is,
clears up the mystery surround
ing the disappearance of Paul
Williams more than six weeks
ago, while sightseeing with a
companion, Noel Keys of Beloit,
Kansas, both Rhodes scholars in
Oxford university, England.
Recent information had given
the family hopes that he was
Still alive, and that they would
soon hear from him.
Key writes under date of Aug
ust 9th saying he had just com
pleted a most thorough search
without finding trace of the body
However, the search was not
without it's result, as it led tc
further information. Keys be
lieved that Paul spent the night
in an empty barn, there being
evidence that someone slept il
the hay, and went down the Other
side Of the mountain the mex
day: in fact, a woodchopper work
ing near the path says he saw ;
person tallying with Paul's des
cription making his way dowl
about noon.
This was followed by a cable
gram from the U. S. ambassado
in Switzerland to the state de
partment at Washington, date,
August 10, reading like this

lalen.'

that their son will eventua ly b
