Eldorado. KAN. Jan. 12.-Adult
scussers' and youthful cigarette
smokers are going to get what Paddy
gave the drum. or other punishment
just as severe. according to the an
nouncement Of the city officials here.
Mayor Powell declares that the
small boys in the city schools are
learning to use man sized cuss words
before they learn Ned in the first
reader. and the older pupils also dis
play a rer -rkable and voluble pro-
dciency In the art Of scattering strong
and variegated profanity. Cigarette
smoking is keeping apace.
"As the old cock crows, the little
chicks learn" is the theory that the
officials are going to base their re-
form movement on, as they think
most OF the boys learn their bad hab-
its from the idle rich who stand
around on the streets and smoke CT
garettes md spit and swear when they
ought to be out swinging an ak.
The county attorney and the sheriff
have promised the mayor that they
will render him all the assistance pos
sible, and School superintendent Hef-
felf1nger will assist in keeping the
boys in line.

Gazette, J.. P. Morgan has restor-
ed to Judge James Keith of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals the will OF

war between the states. The docu-
ment was purchased by the elder
Morgan and of late had been in pos
session of the present representative
of the great banking house.
Mr.. Morgan was at first 10th to
give up the will and it became neces-
sary for the Legislature Of Virginia
10 institute suit to recover what Is
the property of the state Of Viz
GINA. Mr.. Morgan having restored
the document, the suit will, of course
be dropped.
All Virginians will rejoice to know
that the will of Martha Washington

the state is to be spared any lltiga7
ton in order to recover what is its
own. Mr.. Morgan has done what he
should have done year ago when the
attention of the county was called
to the fact that he was in possession
of stolen property.

WHO is NOW
RESPONSIBLE.

The sledge-hammer blows the allles
are dealing the German armies on the
western battle front are having their
effect. This terrific struggle between
the EngKsh-speaking and Teutonr
races is reaching a crisis, and the
Kaiser is facing greater difficulties
than any he has encountered since the
war began. While it is not safe TO
adopt in to all the dispatches sent
out from Paris and London incwheh
great claims are made, the fact that
/ the allies have taken two lines of
German trenches and are battering
the third is ominous. Berlin, while
making certain claims, admits mucn
that is sent out from the allies CAPT
tails.
The Baltimore American of today
says:
It was their own fault. said the
!Germans when the Lusitania was
sunk with the losses of more than a
thousand lives of noncombatants. 1t
was, their own fault, said the Germans
when they invaded and desecrated
Belgium and jndiscriminately killed
eff noncombatants in the towns they
entered, upon the charge of their be-
ing snipers. 1t was their own fault.
said the Germans, when they used
asphyxiating gases and circulated a
canard to the effect that the French
had first turned to such deviltries. 1t
was their own fault, said the Ger
mans, when they raided the defense
less coast towns of England ana
killed women and babies.
And now the world is disposedly
saying it will be their own fault if
they get the most drastic licking,
upon the west front, that has ever
been delivered to any nation. For, in
addition to the infamies Of calious-
ness that have been here hecited.
comes the most infamous of all-tnai
Of the German Ambassador who &C.
clared it was all their own fault tina;
100000 Armenians have been killed
or have been driven into slow death
to be made the marks of the savage
kordes of the wildernesses or the
savage beasts or slow starvation. He
first denied, then minimized and now
condones the outrages. The Armen-
ians are alleged to have tried to STIR
up revolt against the Turk! Such is
the hard crust of German official cal
lcusness that disgusts the entire
world of civilized human beings. What
ii some individual Armenians wert
meters to revolt; surely the un-
speakable cruelties of the Turks mad
sowed this harvest. But if such was
the case, did this justify the extirpa-
ton of people whose great ana
standing offense is that they do not
teat their brows upon the ground anG
cry: "There is one god and Mo-
manned is his prophet" Turkey has
declared that no foreign interference
with its bloody orgies will be per-
naitted. Back of this declaration is
the German Ambassador with the tur-
ban wrapped about his heart to stifle
his sense of humanity as ne iterates
the sentiment of German atrocity: Il
is their own fault. Nothing but plan
speech and the facing Of the facts
can be permitted in the presence OF
such vast and reckless inhumanity
as the slaughter of the Armenians
with the theif-own fault eNtenuation
for the Turk by the Germans.
