ITALIA |RREDENTA"
SOON THING OF PAST

italia Irredenta," will soon be a
thing Of the past, is the belief of the
Italian embassy. This Is the embassy's
answer to the frequent query, What
difference has the entrance Of Italy
made in the war;"
In the month and one day since Italy
declared war on Austria. she has &C.
complshed much, according to Giuseppe
Bramblla. counselor at the embassy.
and has made it clear that she will
accomplish more. Most important. from
the standpoint of Italy, though perhaps

years warfare. David Lloyd George
estimated the yearly war costs of Great
Britain at $4,000 OOo. 900. but this figure
was generally admitted to be exagger-

As OTHERS SEE HIN

As the writer a few days ago was
casually conversing with a small group
of men, and the talk soon turned to
Mr. Otis L. Benton, the growing
popular candidate on the Republican
ticket for Congress from the 9th Dis
trict, man in the bunch on the
street broke in, Yes, can tell you a
thing or Two Benton done" We first
thought he was going to rake up
something derogatory to BentoE's
character, the way he started. But,
he continues: "When a lot of us
farmers we're up against it, with
crops gone a few of us also losing our
horses from the disease, Mr.. Benton
paid for our seed wheat, saying we
could pay HIM when We raised a
CROP" A remark was made that he
knew he would get it all back again,
but the speaker insisted there was
not a man in northwest Kansas that
could tell whether we would ever
have another crop, from past failures
and the poor outlook at the time the
wheat was furnished. The incident
brought back fresh To the mind of
the writer a little personal occur

Methodist church over in Decatur

Benton's fine banking establishment.

was amazed, and yet glad that one SC

TO country ..ruStabout" preacher,
with few friends, little notoriety and
less money Nevertheless, Mr. Benton
encouraged and gladdened our heart,
by nicely contributing to our enter
prise, the building of a new parsonage
at Cedar Bluffs, the charge we then
served some ten yearg ago No imam
cial benefit could Mr. Benton have
ever expected from preacher busily
employed at less that a living salary.
And far from thought we are sure,
at that time, of ever being a candi-
date for public office, his business
was paying him better. 1t was purely
the manhood of the man. Mr.. Ben
ton, perhaps, never thought of this
after, but the writer is lever a lover
of DAVID who never forgot kind
ness to him shown. A little act like
the above, is worth far more than the

OTIS L. BENTON
AS WE KNOW HIN

Under the above caption We copy
the following from the pen of Lester
NJ. Parker. editor of the Oberlin
Times. and which appeared in his
issue of July %. 1915. Coming from
Mr.. Parker who is an efficient leader
of the live Gospel Team of Oberlin,
which has been doing such helpful
and beneficial spiritual work for the
churches in the northwest corner of
the Sixth District for the past many
months, we freely give space in the
Tribune this week foi the article
And since Mr.. Benton has fully
launched his boat in the political
waters, the editorial production is all
the more timely; for the Healing of
the waters"
'sSince Otis L. Benton of this city
has become prominent in the race for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress from this district, the question
arises in the minds of those not ac-
quainted with his life as TO his stand
on Woman's Suffrage and Prohibit
tion. The Times editor has often
said he would not. support any person
for lawmaking position who hesita-
ted in supporting either. We reaffirm
that declaration. Because of our
close personal relationship with Mr..
Benton for more than quarter of a
century, and because we know his
heart and soul cries out against the
rum traffic, we lend our uncompro-
missing support to his candidacy.
mot only have we known Mr.. Ben
ton from boyhood, but we have par
taken of the daily scripture reading
and knelt at the family alter of the
home in which he was reared. The
life OF his splendid Christian parents
have been benediction to the writer
We have often looked at Otis, their
noble son, and wondered how he
could be anything than that which
ne is, a true hearted, Christian
gentleman, standing for high ideals
in life a.ld against every evil that
robs young men of their character
and manhood, and the womanhood Of
our country of its virtue and beauty.
That he will be found working, fight
ing and voting irst, last and at all
time for all wise reforms and good
causes there is no doubt. What more
need we say.-Colby Tribune.

experience in school work they never
entirely lose interest in other teach
ers and their fortunes Perhaps this
is the reason I sat up and took notice
when a bunch of teachers boarded
the Santa Fe train at La Plata, Mis-
souri,, one evening recently. When
that bunch came in the ice was brok-

body began to thaw out, and al
though the car was crowded they all
were accommodated in some way
Other teachers got on at another
station and one of them pre-empted
my seat when l was momentarily out
of it. OF course 1 let her keep it but
one of the original bunch gave me
her seat and made stool for herself
and professional courtesy, of course,
recognizing an ex-teacher.
1t is said that all the world loves a
lover and perhaps it is more espec-
tally true if the lover happens to be
a teacher. There was quite a COM
motion on the station platform when
the train stopped at Marceline to
take on some more Missouri teachers
bound for the State Teachers Con-
yention at Kansas City. Somebody
said "rice" and just at that moment
a crest-fallen, be-rumpled couple
came into the car. They were drop

However, it does appear that the
teaching habit is somewhat like the
third day ague-pretry hard TO break
up. Marriage seems to be the only
thing that will reduce the fever, and
even that often fails. Sometimes it
only aggravates the disease.
OF conrSe teaching is high and

its intermittent occurrence and re-

comparison
All joking aside, the average teach

four years and that is one of the
weak points in our school system.

CARELESS ABOUT FLOODING
ROADS

1t is apparent to the people who are
using the highways that flooding OF
the roads with irrigation water is
too prevalent and should be stopped
A ditch may break and get away from
the most careful irrigator, but il
should not be allowed to flow over
the roads for three or four days at
a time until big bitches have been cut
into that road. Accidents will happen
repeatedly but the man who continu-
ally offends with regard to flooding
roads and pays no attention to the
damage done, should be given les
son for his carelessness.
With the great amount of money ex-
pended for upbuilding of our high.
ways, it is not right for the careless
irrigator to destroy that work with
impunity. Every taxpayer who is
helping to pay for our roads should
bear in mind the fact that flooding OF
the highway is hitting everyone's
pocket book for the unnecessary re-
pair because one persons lack OF
care.
