controversy have as many innings as
the law allows. But how uncomfort-
able it will be for Kansas if Governor
Capper is able to sustain his accusa-
tions. Kansas has been parading her
political righteousness for years, and
that of her several divisions as well.
And accordingly she has been free in
making shoots of disgust at other un
fortunate communities where political
corruption and the prostitution of the
franchise have prevailed But if such
conditions have been in order in the
Kansas City on this side of the Mis-
souri, line, Governor Capper is doing
the state a great service in exposing
them to the publicity that cleanses.
Kansas wants to be as decent in all
things as is humanity possible.

After they made friends with the
two little girls, if SO silly a creature
friend. Frisky and his little mate never
lacked for food. Lucky it was, that
they had the childrens help. too, for
after the five little Friskys came to
the new home, Mr.: Frisky had all he
could do to keep his family supplied
with food.
You see, he was not used to hunting
food city fashion and many a time his
, family might have gone hungry but
for the tender cabbage leaves, the
juicy carrots and the tempting tit-bits
which the little girl left for him on
the garden walk. Not that Frisky was
lazy! He wasn't one bit! He was
willing to work early and late for his
little family; but the awful alleys he
had to cross, the grocery boys who
threw rocks, the autos and the street
cars all filled his soul with fear and
made him afraid to journey far in
search of food.
MANY a time he had wished himself
back in the woods where he knew ex-
actly what the dangers were. But
wishing is idle business and moving
was not to be thought of till the babies
were grown.
And how they did grow! Frisky
and his mate were perfectly sure that
never before were there five such fine
rabbits. 81 almost would like to show
them to your children friends" said

bit of food. Think how those girls
would like to see them!' she thought,
proudly.
Don't you ever speak to me of such
a thing." exclaimed Frisky in terror.

dren and you have no idea of the dam
gers abroad, Don't even think of TAX
ing the children out till they are able
to run and care for themselves
Poor little Frisky! Little did he
guess the trouble that was even then
brewing over his home! 1t would have
been far wiser to have let his little
friends know where his nest was
then they could have cared for it.
But how was little wildwoods F'risky
to know that?

was talking, the mother of the two
little girls said to her twelve year old

1IsT AROIJT JUNKETs.


A man may learn all about the Pan
anna canal or Pearl Harbor naval base
by some hard study of facts and fig
ures. He may be elected to con-
press and make a speech on the sub
ject that will eclipse anything before
given. But when he remains in con-
gress a while and after he serves on
the committee dealing with the par
ticular subject at hand, he gets the
idea that a junket. financed by the
federal government, is necessary be-
fore congress can appropriate any
thing more toward the Panama canal
or Pearl Harbor-again these are
only two instances. The congressional
junket which passed through Ottawa
recently is being sent at an expense or
thousands of dollars, to Pearl Harbor
naval base to determine whether GER
tain appropriations for improvements
should be made by the federal govern
ment. If the hours of porting over
facts and figures were not sufficient,
small committee might have been sent
to Pearl Harbor and learned more in
less time, at less expense than the
large congressional junket, which
went through Ottawa. But that's not
the custom. A junket went to Pana-
ma a few years ago. Some of the
same members of congress that were
here went to Panama, and doubtless
have spent some of the governments
money on other junkets. It's the way
of congresses, you know. Junkets
seem to be a necessary evil.-Ottawa

who had just arrived in England from
that city. 1t presents a picture of
conditions in Germany very differ
ent from that conveyed by most of the
English newspaper comment" Food
and employment are both abundant,
prices are not very much higher than
usual, there is no sign of "a famine
in either men, provisions, munitions,
or money" And the conclusion is that
the Germans can never be starved
into surrender" With this, properly
understood, we believe that most per-
sons of good judgment will agree
but everything depends upon what
you mean by starved" and what you
mean by surrender" AT present."

capable even of dreaming of the pos
thinks of this as strengthening his own
inference; in reality, it greatly weak
ems it. Germany will never be con-
quered by starvation or even by pri-
walton, taken in itself; it is only in
connection with unmistakable military
failure that economic pressure can
make itself effectively felt. If to-day
mo German is capable of dreaming of
the possibility of defeat" the present
willingness of the people to bear all
manner of inconvenience and loss
without a murmur furnishes no index
of the state of mind in which they
would look forward to an indefinite
continuance of these hardships with
victory in the field completely out of
the question.-New York Evening
