LINES WORTH REMEMBERING.
Magnificent promises are always to be sus-
pected.-THEODORE PARKER.
THE PRESIDENTS REELECTION.

THE causes producing the result OF tuesdays haI'uhS
can be calmly analyzed now, with the two big rival
celebrations out OF the way The tlrNt celebration was
bit premature was warranted however by the returns
from the eastern states. When New York followed al
New England states off after Hughes and Illinois, Indiana
Wisconsin Michigan and states OF that size and poItoa
influence wheeled into line, IT looked extremely dark 'of
the presidents chances
But the big boundcss west had not at that time been
heard from Kansas had been sending out cheering td,ng
all evening; Colorado and Nebraska following suit
indicating that a groundswel 10 the west was sweeping
everything before n BY morning it was becoming more
and more evident that such rockrbbed republican states
as Utah Idaho Wyoming California, Washington and
possibly Oregon had been swept into strange political
moorngs and then another celebration started winch Tar
oustrippcd the one Of Tuesday night in point OF unrc-
strained ioy and enthusiasm The Wisonitcs laughed
best because they laughed last
Why did the west vote for Mr.. Wilson,
Because Mr. Hughes would not take it into his con
dcnce He would say it, frankly and canddy for
fear Of alternating some OF the heterogeneous element,
supporting his candidacy what he proposed to do il elected
He daicd with it, in word and in turn it daicd with
him.
But this is a general cause; the specific ones are not
so well defined by the rcturns far reported Enough
is Indicated however TO disclose that the lessons implanted
in the past hy republican orators involving c well enough
alone" had not been implanted in vain The west is dis
posed to accept philosophy OF this character and so voted
And moreover, the west the original progressive sec
on of the country finds much in President Wilson's pro
grc,siyc policies to admire much OF the spirit which
squares with its ideals 1t also likes his foreign policies
policies which kept ont OF and gave us opportunity
for enjoying prosperity unprecedented in the history o
the country So when came to question OF ohoosnl
between a candidate who at best was but leap into the

CRITICISM.

CRITlClSM.-We must expect to

consider themselves above criticism
consider wrong and should practice
different way of thinking.

apply my thoughts like this: I will
never take off my hat willingly to
any nation or nations whose chief
plan of efficiency is to build ponder
Gus machines of destruction which

nants of justice and real civilization.
Such efficiency is disastrous.
The efficiency to build with exact
ness constructions that benefit man
kind in every respect is the efficiency
worthy of note and enthusiastic adj
miratiOn.
America is a country that should
be run for the good of all it's people
and not by one class for the good Of
their class.
President Wilson was against war
and for the country and its people if
we think right before he knew that
the people were against war, and he
deserves the largest part if not the
whole of the credit. It is not right to
take credit away from where it is due
and place it where it is not due.
Think right. Frank Smith.

condemn or insult people who have,
for instance, other religious convic-
lions than we. But Mr.. Beal calls
religious teachings silly, and those
who-think it is a privilege of every
human being to fulfill his religious
duties according to the dictates of
his conscience he calls crazy fanatics
and hypocrites. This is intolerance
pure and simple. Mr.. Beal contra
diets himself when he teaches toler-
ance and practices intolerance. If
we claim to be tolerant, let us be toll

Women Fail AS F arm T Hands

It has been found that English women do not make
goodD as farm laborers and British illusion has gone
glmmering The Wiltshire agricultural committee
has decided close down its training school for girls
as farm workers. stating that its efforts have IN the
long run proved disappointing
When it became necessary to enlist very large
number of English farm hands In the British army,
land owners complained to the government that the
crops on which the nation partly depended for food
supplies would fail of cultivation unless labor could be
supplied The government then undertook project to
substitute as far possible strong young women for
men in the diaries and harvest fields and sheep and
cattle tenders In order to fit them for the arduous
work of the farm the training school was established
In reaching the decision to close the Wiltshire training
school, the committee said II had been found that very
few girl pupils stuck to the work Women could be
taught to drive horses ride milk carts quite easily,
II was found that when the young women came IRON
London to take their training their minds we're filled
with anticipation of the Joys of country hfe-gTeen
fields brooks flowers and the scent of mown hay
They had visions of being Maud MullerS IN the most
pleasant sense, to wedding the Judge Their Ilu-
ons ended dstaste developed when they found that
farm life also grinding labor, dust, ram, cold
heat mud and tired muscles
The board OF agriculture directly supervising the dis
tributiOn of farm labor has to the conclusion that
ali girls are "highty" town girls especially and that
while quick 10 learn, they will never be farmers.
It would seem England's best chance now would be
70 enlist for agricultural service of the many
thousands Of men Who by of age physical
disability, have been excused from war service Some
Of them could perform the heaviest work Of the farms
and all could do something But the question arises:
Would the men from the cities take any kindly
10 farm life than the women? An attempt to take a
man ont of his own niche and fit him into another is
not always attended by success the farmers
Of England may have hard time as the farmers Of
Kansas encounter every year at harvest season.
