The Little Difference.

Herman Frasch. chief chemist O.
the Standard Oil company, who re
Gently died worth s5,00O,000, made
many millions for his employers by
his utilization of waste.
In an interview in New York, dis
cussing the discovery that turned
coal tar from waste to a highly valu
able by-product, Mr.. Frasch once
said to a reporter:
That one little change, that little
chemical change, did it all. There
is never more than tiny difference
you know, between waste and &
by-product, between wealth and pov'
erty, between success and failure.
Look, for example, into some
great business Office. Here is hag'
gard man in his shirtsleeves on q
high stool working for dear life-he
checks the cash. Then in little
glass office all by himself, look al
that other frock-coated man leaning
back in a tufted green leather arm
chair, smoking d cigar and reading
the paper-he cashes the checks. -

A Hopeless Case.

Congressman C. H.. Randall, OF
California, when reference was made
to lodging debtors said he was re-
minded of party named Jake Gymp
according to the Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
Jake, who was notoriously bad pay
took advantage of new storekeep-
er in the town and managed to get
dollars worth of horse feed on
credit. Finally, when the money was
not forthcoming, the storekeeper set
out to collect.
Il came to see you about that dol
lar for horse feed" said he, ap-
preaching Jake in field some dis
tance from the house. do you
think you can pay me today?"
! "How's that" returned Jake, put
ting a hand to his ear and speaking
in a highly pitched voice. What
did ye say?"
Il said," returned the storekeep-
er, going closer and shouting like
giee club, that it's time you paid
me that dollar"
Cant hear a word ye say" de-
clared Jake. Yell have ter speak
up a bit louder
Just wait a minute cried the
storekeeper, feeling in his pocket for
a lead pencil. Il will write it down y
"Tain't no use, mister returned
Jake, with a hopeless shake of his
head. Cant see to read without my

Fearful Prejudice.

Down in one of the Southern

court on a charge of stealing chick

jurors on the ground that they might

"Ho, ho," replied the rustic youth

BE Americans First.

The great mass of American citi-
zenship is earnestly praying that re-
cent incidents in connection with the
European war, incidents affecting our
national shipping, will not cause the
war clouds to loom larger than they
now appear on the horizon. The
Citizen could imagine no greater
tragedy, beyond the tact of the Eu-
ropean war itself, than the embroil-
ing of this country in a war which
was not of its making, embroiled at
the very hour of destiny. For sure
ly all who run may read that the
United States is destined, or was
destined to play the most important
role, that of peacemaker, at the close
of the present war, and in the re-
construction of civilization which
must come in it's wake.
While the Citizen admits that the
present outlook is gloomy indeed,
and is fraught with imminent peril
to our national peace and comfort,
it refuses to believe that the men
at the head of our government will
jeopardize their own great influence
in that auspicious hour by losing
their balance >now. We have faith
and hope that the splendid states
man at the white house, Woodrow
Wilson, will not be stampeded by
popular clamor in this moment, but
will stand firmly to those lofty prin-
ciples and ideals which he so nobly
championed in the day Of the Mexi-
can peril. President Wilson has
stood too long on the thin line that
lies between reason and riot to be
thrown off his balance now by the
cries and clamor of the jingo.
Back Of him stands that splendid
element of American citizenship
which is inspired by the patriotism of
Washington and Jefferson, patriot
ism which will always be the bull
wark of this nation in peace or in
war. Not in the mouthings of the
mob. but in the high principles of
the patriot lies the salvation Of this
country. Every loyal American will
turn a deaf ear to the teachings of
the torch, and will firmly uphold the
hands of their dauntless president in
this his greatest trial and tribula-
tion. And if we preserve this atti-
tude. few can doubt that when the
United States shall sit high in the
council of that conference which will
seek to dress the wounds of bleeding
nations no name will shine with
greater luster than that of Woodrow
Wilson. president and patriot.--Ash-
vile Citizen.

KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880, under license, the Kansas tax rate for state purposes was 5.5 mills on the dollar. The Nebraska rate was only 39 mills. In 1881 the Kansas rate dropped to 5 mills, while the Nebraska rate increased to 61. In 1882 the figures stood: Kansas, 4.5; Nebraska, 67 In 1883 the rate was, Kansas. 4.3; Nebraska, 7S In 1885 the Kansas rate had further dropped to 3.9, but Nebraska, with saloons to pay part of her revenue. had been com pelled to raise her rate to 7.7.
 In 1914 Kansas had reached the re- markedly low figure of 1.2 mills, while Nebraska, whose people failed to fol- low Kansas example in outlawing saloons, was suffering under a rate of 7.S mills.
 And yet" says the Portland (Me.) Evening Express, "the booze represen- tatives in local option contests have the effrontery to warn the people against outlawing the saloons because You will have to pay more taxes!'"

SELECTING OFFICIALS

Tho manner in which people have ,,, confidence in public officials IS .scretable. ~ It is unfortunate that new .seials who are honest and efficient mnst hear the odium that corrupt and dsbonest politicians have placed nnor nublic office. Instead of consid- ering new men honest until they show thomselves to be dishonest they are s0metimes regarded as selfish, with a n0Or chance to prove themselves the contrary.
 That the fault is with the design inc politicians who have used public office for their own gain and thus de- eeiyed the people who trusted them can not be questioned. This has de tered many honest, competent men from offering their services to the people. Yet those who offer their service must be classed with the poli- dcian until they prove by their offi- cal as well as their private life that they are honest and efficient with sin cere motives to serve.
 But the people are not as easily de- ceiyed as they were once. They have learned to be a better judge of the motives and ambitions of men. Just as efficiency is becoming more and more qualification for men who manage the affairs of large corpora tons, so will this be true with those who manage the affairs of the people. And when the inefficient and incom- petant are reduced then will the peo- pie appreciate those who are honest and efficient But before this can be accomplished thev oters must prepare themselves better for thed uty of se- ecting their officials. Voters must learn for whom to vote-Farm and Ranch

To Save Five Minutes?
Louisville Courier-J Journal.

Louisville C0Qfler-J OurDdl.
 Napoleon credited victory to the failure of the enemy to realize the im- portance of five minutes. The Germans may feel that the importance of five minutes cannot be overestimated, but the civilized world feels that the sac rifce of 121 lives as result of giving the crew and passengers on the un- armed passenger ship Falaba five minutes instead of 10 to embark in the lifeboats and get clear of the ship put too high value upon that amount of time.
 Photographs of the destruction of the Falaba are now being published. One of them shows several men and a woman clinging to the slippery bot tom of lifeboat that was over turned by the explosion of the torpe- do which sunk the ship. Other boats were swamped because of the lack of time in which properly to launch them It is stated that had 10 minutes been allowed for the lifeboats to be launch ed, loaded and rowed away from the sides of the Falaba, all on board might have been saved, and one of the worlds most sickening atrocities avoided.
 Very few persons will ever forget the picture of helpless woman cling ing feebly to the keel of a capsized boat in an ice-cold sea, into which she soon slipped and drowned.
 It is absurd to call such outragef war. Deliberate murder would be a better name for them. And murder has never paid any organization of an
