do not believe that to pass under

my mind, are incapable of influence

things know absolutely do have an
influence for good or bad.
Here is. an emerald ring given to me
by a blind sheik, celebrated for his
learning and wisdom. Cut into the
emerald are a camel and a dog. The
sheik told me the ring had come down
to him for generations and Was-more
than 1000 years old.
He gave it to me because he was
the last of his family and made me
promise that should any male child
be born to me, was to hang the ring
about the neck of the child and teach
him to pray for him and to read Ara
bic.
The old sheik was then more than
ITO years of age. One of his ances-
tors lived, he said, to be 143. was
told that, by keeping the ring, would

WHY A "REPUsLIcAN TICKET"

One of the items that hard to understand is
why there is republican ticket" democratic
ticket" in city election in Kansas City. The repub
lcan party stands is supposed to stand for certain
economic and national issues, but when it gets into
the game of city politics question that have
connection with republican principles than
cleaning has to do with tariff. it is merely using
honorable name to bolster up some local faction or
situation.
1t certainly does the party good in national
campaign to get all shot to pieces in municipal muss
even if the party wins. And when, two years ago
Kansas City. the party a5joke, the effect
is almost bad the party it is on the city.
No doubt there folks in Kansas City who think
national party organizations must dip into the differ
ences city business. But they mistaken and
every city in which the old party ticket scheme has
abandoned will testify the effect is benefic
al to the party and exceedingly helpful to good
ernment in the city. The issues local, and men
who differ tariff money or preparedness may

strictly local in their effect and yet which of
the greatest Importance to the people.
National political party organization is barrier
the way of straightforward action and therefore 1t
is a good city government. There is no
for it at ALL and the wonder is that lot OF in
tellgen people in Kansas City stand for such thing.
1t is good deal like refusing to accept motor
and railroads and insisting on travelling in can
covered wagon with bucket at the rear axle and
yellow dog trailing behind. To those of us who live
in cities which have put national tickets at city
elections it is merely reminder of old political
which had supposed ended.
Now that the republican ticket" has succeeded in

republicans that we hope the new administration

Russian Rejnforcements

The that Russian reinforcements in large
numbers have been landed in France to oppose the
Germans about Verdun, indicates desperateness of
situation that has been reflected in the
dispatches describing the operations about that strong
hold. Those dispatches have been misleading to all
who have followed them closely with map
in hand 1t will be noticed that almost daily for the
last month Paris and London dispatches have de-
scrbed the German assaults upon strong French po-
sitions as fruitess when it admitted that the
