The administration may go to the
country with an extraordinary record
of legislative achievement. The new
federal reserve banking system is one
of the legislative monuments of a
generation. Its Importance will grow
upon the nation as the time passes /,
particularly in the difficult period in
finance the war has brought on. The
country's financial administration is
in strong hands. Since the war crisis
opened there has been decision and
efficiency at Washington. The coun-
try suffers and will suffer from busi-
ness dislocation in this terrible emer-
gency of European conflict, but the
dominant thought of the people while
the emergency lasts is likely to be
what was in Lincoln's mind when he
spoke of the danger in swapping
horses while crossing stream. The
country is not likely in the coming
elections to weaken seriously the
presidents influence either at home
or abroad He must remain president
of the United States through the war
period, and in him rests the world s
best hopes of peace as soon as condi-
tions render it advisable for him to
again offer his friendly offices. He
will need the strong and undivided
support Of his countrymen in order
that he may speak at the opportune
moment with such prestige that the
powers in conflict will listen to his
counsel.

which the obligations of patriotism
rest more heavily than do those OF

than average weight. 1t would be
difficult to address, to the average
citizen, more persuasive argument

DID THE WORK Grew Strong on Right Food.

You can't grow strong by merely ex- ercising. You must have food-the kind you can digest and assimiliate.
 Unless the food you eat is digested 1t adds to the burden the digestive organs have naturally to carry. This often means nervous breakdown.
 About a year ago." writes Mass. lady. ..I had quite a serious nervous breakdown caused, as I believed, by overwork and worry. I also suffered untold misery from dyspepsia.
 "FirsfI gave up my position, then I tried to find a remedy for my troubles, something that would make me well and strong, something to rest my tired stomach and build up my worn-out nerves and brain.
 : T tried one kind of medicine after another. but nothing seemed to help me.
 Finally friend suggested change of food and recommended Grape Nuts. With little or no faith in it, tried a package. That was eight months ago and I have never been without it since.

 As this committees term expires, would suggest to the remaining mem bers of the court of common council that they recommend to the new coun- cil an appointment of a similar com mittee, as I think that the city is en- titled to the extensions asked for by your committee.

the terrible storm of war that has
burst over Europe, Americans have
new reason to admire the sense and
sanity Of their own chief magistrate.
Since autocracy deliberately plung-

the most blatant lingo in the United
States would not exchange Woodrow
Wilson for any European statesman,
and the partisan bigots who professed
to be ashamed of their country have
all been silcnred by events.
1t is very fine to prattle about "a
vigorous foreign policy" but con-
science and sincerity and integrity
have their place in government in
spite Of the Mctternich legend that
still controls European chancelleries.
There was plenty of vigorous foreign
policy in Berlin, in Vienna and ST.
Petersburg; but there was none of the
good faith and common honesty that
have shown through the campidoly
have shown through the diplomacy
of Washington. In consequence, all
of Europe is directly or indirectly
at war, and it is only in the United
States that the flame Of civilization
burns steadily and brightly,

centuries would have been averted?
Who doubts, either, that if the United

this conflict, and we ourselves will be
affected by it in respects that are
neither financial nor commercial.
New standards Of craftsmanship will
be established in this country as the
American people contemplate the ter

GOOD NEWS FOR THE FARMER

The Bell Telephone Company has
backed up on its decision to increase
the rate on rural phones to 50 a
month. This will mean a saving of
so cents a month or Sc year to
many thousand farmers in Missouri.
The Bell Company some months ago
filed with the State Utilities Board
notice to the effect that patrons of
rural lines who had been getting
service at $3.50 n month would be re
quired to pay $500. The Board,
with characteristic zeal, Immediately
instituted an inquiry to determine If
there were just grounds for such an
increase. 1t found there were none
and gave notice to the Bell Company
that it could not sanction the pro-
posed increase. The Bell Company
this week withdrew its notice of n
change in rates and agreed to contin-
ue giving first class service to Missou-
ri farmers at the same old price. The
Utilities Board was created by Dem
ocratic Legislature and its members
were appointed by Democratic Gov
ernor. 1t has made satisfactory set
