PROFESSOR MsKEEVER SAYS
ABILENE HAS OPPORTUNITIES

abilene is one of the handsOm-
est towns in Kansas, with a fine
class of people and a vast oppor-
tunity for being in the very front
rank of cities that do most for their
development" So said Prof. w. A.
McKeever, head of the public well
fare department of the State Uni
versity. He spent Saturday evening
here and met members of the civics
committee. The University is soon
to decide what towns shall receive
prizes of $1,000 and $500 for being
most advanced in welfare p work.
Recently a list of 20 towns being
considered was published and Abb
lene was not in 1t. Prof. McKeever
explained it by saying that Abilene
lacks some things that are essen
tial in these days to progressive
towns. Among them he mentioned
kindergarten in public schools, am
pie high school facilities, supervised
Fairgrounds, civic improvement So
cieties, older boys organizations
etc. An effort is being made by the
federation of clubs and the well
fare workers of the city to have an
Abilene Day with addresses by
Prof. McKeever on ways and means
of helping the town. He spoke at
Enterprise and Minneapolis last
week, 1t would be a most helpful
movement and do the city much
good.

Hypocrisy or Autohypnosis?

Westliche Post est. Louis.)
 To contradict the r-recurring ru- mors that the allies are tiring of wag- ing losing conflict and that Q ter imitation of the war may be expected in the near future, the British official Press Bureau comes out with the an nouncement that German peace over. lures will not be considered until the last invader has been driven from the sacred soil of France and Belgium. Then, and not until then, would be the day of reckoning. When this is to oc- cur the official announcer fails to state but he voices the opinion that it is to be soon. If we remember rightly, this same official prognosticator has on various occasions forecast coming events-but they are still coming, Considering the latest developments on the various theaters of war, es- pecially the humiliating defeat ot Britain's world-conquering navy at the hands of the despised Turk, this display of cocksureness on the part of the British oracle is really anus ing.

FOR CONSIDERATION

Very often people, in talking to the newspaper men, leave the impression that g newspaper can devote column after column to various things free of charge without any cost to the pub fisher. Every line in a newspaper costs it's publisher something If it is to benefit some individual, he may fairly expect to pay something You do not go into a store and ask the proprietor to hand you out ten pounds of sugar for nothing, even though the grocer may be a personal friend and even though the gift may not be large. The beneficiary of advertising should pay for it just as he has to pay the grocer's bill. Nevertheless many people cannot seem to learn that a newspaper pays it's expenses by rent ing space and that it is just as much entitled to collect rent for the space occupied as you are for the house you rent a tenant-Exchange.

may eventually find their way into Germany hasn't anything to do with the question, as long as we ship the goods in good faith to neutral pur- chasers.
 Great Britain has further infringed the law of nations by subjecting ves- sels to veXatious and needless delay. She has a right to stop our ship, and to take them into port for examina tion of their cargoes, and to confscate contraband if she pays for it. But she has no right to hold cargoes indef- initely and throw our foreign trade into confusion.
 In demanding relief from these practices, the United States is con- tending for the freedom of the sea. It is in our controversy with Germany, however, that we are making the most vital fight for a free ocean. Great Britain's infringement of maritime freedom have not been a tithe of Ger illelly DTlUdln TdS SUrcdCneU the law; Germany has torn it up. Great Britains offenses have been committed against property; Ger many's have been against life. Great Britain, in all her interference with German and neutral shipping, has nev- CT sunk vessel without warning, has always respected the lives of noncom- batants and neutrals, and has not des- troyed the life of even a single Ger man sailor on a German merchant man.
 There is only one way of restoring the freedom of the seas, and that is by restoring the reign of international laws which prevailed until this war. The best way for Germany to accom- plish her professed purpose is to CO., operate with us and stop breaking the law herself. We shall then find it easy to deal with the comparatively trivial infringements of her enemies.
