"you can fool some Of the people all
OF the time"
The Tariff Board.

After backing and filing over and
over again on the subject Of tariff
board, after telling the country in his
Indianapolis speech that such board
would be superf1uous because the
trade commission was authorized to
do just that work, President Wilson
has now urged Congress to authorize
him to appoint a tariff board, and the
recommendation meets with general
approval.
The most serious obstacle to a use
full tariff board appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson is the fact that he has
shown himself incapable Of appoint
ing a non-partisan board, and con-
scienceless in violating the spirit OF
the law when it requires him to name
a member Of the opposing party.
For the federal reserve board, which
Of all instrumentalities Of the govern
ment should be most free from poll
tics and political influences, Mr.. Will
son named five Democrats, besides
forcing on It, as eX-ofllciO members,
two violent partisans, his sOD-in-law,
Mr.. McAdoO, and John Shelton Will
liams, comptroller Of the currency,
and this against the best judgment Of
the very Democrats who framed the
federal reserve act.
One of his Democratic appointees
was so Objectionable to the Senate
that he withdrew his name and sub
stituted that Of Republican, Mr..
Delano, but even at that the board
stands one Republican to six Demo-
Gratis.
On the civil service and the federal
trade commissions. where the law re-
quired partisan appointments, Mr..
Wilson violated the spirit Of the law
by naming progressives. Not for many
years has there been witnessed in the
White House such intense PARTISAN
ship.

BIG INTEREST
IS SHOWN IN
THE REVIVAL
Which is Being Held in the
Bridgeport Baptist Church
with Good Success.

BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 12.-At the
special revival services now in full
sway at the Bridgeport Baptist church
where the Rev. DR.. Brinistool, pastor
OF the First Baptist church at Wheel
ing, is assisting the pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Bragg, much interest is already
being manifested.
Thursday evening when the third
invitation was given for sinners to
come out on the Lords side three re-
sponded, and dozen hands went up
for the prayers of Gods people. There
had been two conversions prior to
this time. The text used by the evan
gelist Thursday evening was that Of
Mark 1: 1924. "And there was in
their synagogue man with an un-
clean spirit; and he cried out saying,
Let us alone; what have we to do
with thee, thou Jesus OF Nazareth"
He showed the terrible condition Of
the man or woman who had gone SO
far in sin that their emotions were
untouched when the spirit OF God
should be prompting them to accept
Him. 1t was at this stage in the life
o fapersonthadeh ttseo lie raoin
of a person that the desire to accept
Christ might leave one. never to re-
turn. He recalled incidents of where
workers had gone out to win souls
only TO hear the sinner say as did 1.-The
man with the uuclean spirit" Leave
me alone have no concern in re-.
gard to my soul. l did not come here
to accept Christ" He then related
incidents OF people who were seem
ingly proud of the fact that the desire
to become a Christian was not mani
tested in the least within themselves.
The seating capacity Of the lower
floor was taxed to its fullest, and sew
eral occupied the galleries. 1t is in
deed great treat to hear this elegant
man of God in his mastery sermons.
The quiet unique way he has Of pre-
Isenting the Savior to his hearers is
marvellous, and as he begins his SER
mon a hush comes over the audience
so that not a word he might say will
escape his hearers.
Sunday there will be three services.
At the regular morning hour DR.. Brin-
instool will preach. In the afternoon
q mems meeting will be held at 2:30.
Every man who can possibly get there
is urged to attend. Then the great
service again at 1880 in the evening.
Every person is extended welcome to
attend these services and not miss the
great treat that will be there for them.

Wilson and Autos.

Kansas owns and operates 1900
automobiles, or approximately one to
every nine persons in the state, ac-
cording to the census experts. This
serves to recall an address made by
Woodrow Wilson TO the North Caro-
lima Society, in which he said: Moth
ing has spread the socialistic feeling
in this country more than automo-
biles. To the countryman they are a
picture of arrogance, of wealth with
all its independence and carelessncss. y
Probably Mr.. Wilson forgot what he
had said when he induced Congress,
Just after his Inauguration, to buy five
new White House automobiles for his
personal use,

Crises md Politics.

Every time President Wilson's per-
sonal political barometer is discovered
to be falling there is an international
crisis, usually with Germany, some
times with England. This oft-repeated
phenomenon has just been witnessed
in the Lusitania case, which has so
often lent itself TO the kind of politics
which Mr.. Wilson, aided and abetted
BY his secretary, is SO persistently
playing.
Only few days ago all the country
was informed that grave crisis
had been reached in the Lusitania ne
gotiations, that the Wilson .administra-
ton irrevocably insisted that Ger
many employ the word illegal" in de-
scribing its sinking of the Lusitania
that Germany refused so to do, and
that rupture in the diplomatic re-
lations of the countries was imminent
Quiet intimations of a saturnalia OF
submarine attacks on passenger ships
which would inevitably follow such
rupture were given to the press from
high authorities" or from "authorlta-
tive sources" and from those close to
the president" and no pains we're
spared to,,work up public sentiment
into a fever Of apprehension.
Germany has refused to employ the
word illegal" but now that the
crisis" has been made to appear suf.
flciently grave" information Is forth
coming from the White House thai
"the crisis" has yielded to the presi.
dents diplomacy that Germany has
adopted other language which is en-.
tirely satisfactory, and 1t is broadly
intimated that Woodrow Wilson has
achieved another great diplomatic
triumph" obviously. Mr. Wilson and
his political lieutenants believe thai

Disguise Too Thin.

Although the administration has
made desperate effort to disguise the
real purpose Of the new" shipping
bill for which it stands sponsor, the
disguise is too thin TO deceive the
chamber Of commerce of the United
States, the far-reaching, non-partisan
business organization which so severe
ly condemned the n-McAdoo
shipping bill Of a year ago.
The chamber of commerce calls at
tention to the bad faith of the admin
istration in appealing for the enact
ment of law which would create a
shipping commission" similar to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
which would exercise over marine
shipping supervision similar to that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
exercises over land transportation,
and then proposes to put on this board
two members Of the presidents cab
met, sIcAdoo and Daniels. The pro-
posed bill, which is cordially backed
by President Wilson. is clearly seen
ny luS Cudilpel VI CuiIllilSlGc W DS
merely another determined grasp for
power by AIcAdOo. In view Of the fact
that 1t was fundamentally. distrust of
McAdoo which killed the shipping bill
a year ago, dstrust shared alike by
Democrats and Republicans, it would
appear that the new" shipping bill
had little chance of enactment. The
chambers of commerce also point out
that the pretensc of the administration
that the government would not be en-
gagged directly in shipping is mere pre-
tense, in view Of the wording Of the
new McAdoo- Wilson bill.

far divorced from politics as is pos
sible.

fully convinced that they will stand

In conclusion, we wish to repeat
all we ask is that the board Of edu-
cation submit the question to a vote
of the district, or build what the peo-
pie voted for. What could be more

proposed trips to the South and the

Democratic members OF Congress,

and that, while immense crowds
turned out to see him and his bride.

Wind Cave enthusiasts claim that this
cavern excels the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky in splendors and in extent.
Half a dozen government surveys have
been made in the park. These and va
rious private exploring expeditions that
have been organized have accounted for
some ninety-six miles of the recesses of
Wind Cave. but there are hundreds of
passa geways that have never been ex-
plored. No one knows to what depths
they lead, or how far under the Black
Hills they may take the explorer. The
average visitor to Wind Cave, Ma

miles underground and comes forth into
the daylight realizing that he had seen
