HUGHES, FoRcEFULNEss.

Hughes is making the Democrats
realize that they have to fight man
who knows what he is talking about
and who is not afraid to say what ne
thinks. His vigorous attacks on the
pork barrel methods Of the congress
which has wasted millions of dollars
and his pledge to fight that sort OF
political appropriations when he is
elected, rings true for the people Of
this nation. He says: Il propose
that we shall stop this pork bust
ness. propose that we shall have
government in a business-like way.
We won't have any more, If / can
help it, Of these kiss me and III kiss

rnE nLAckLIsT NERVOUSNESS.

Few realize how serious is the
blacklist plan of the Allied powers
which is now prohibiting our 1900
firms of the United States from do
ing business in Europe.
This agreement also covers "transi-
tory measures for the period OF com
mercial, industrial, agricultural and
maritime reconstruction of the Allies
countries. and permanent meas
ures of mutual assistance and collabo-
ration among the Allies. This
agreement includes all the Entente
Powers, including France, Russia,
Belgium, Portugal, Japan, even Ser
bia and Montenegro. Firms and in
dividuals, blacklisted by Great Brit
ain, are equally blacklisted by all
these countries. 1t Is not only fol-
the war but to control after-wal
trade and unless the United States
has some firmness back of its admin
istration. it will find itself shut Out
of world business so far as possible
OF course Mr.. Wilson has written
mote but England pays about az
much attention to it as it did tt
notes about opening United States
mails-which is none at all. Vacil
lating where it should be firm, pre-
cipitate where it should be circum
spect, the administration in Wash
ington shows once more an incapac
ity to realize the extent of the prob
lens with which it is confronted.

GOOD SELECTIONS.

The Republican ticket of Dickinson
county has two men on it who will
cut some ice in the legislature next
winter. w. H. Myers and ]. T. Sell
lards are men who have made sue
cessse of their own business and they
will handle the states business with
the same good sense they have ever
used in their own. The legislature to
meet next winter, will have some big
things to do for Kansas, and they
should be done in big way. 1t
needs business men to do them, and
this county is going to be proud OF
the men it sends there from the sena-
torial and representative districts.

about the trade war of the future, but
there is a titanic trade war in pro-
gress right now. Meanwhile, Great
Britain is taking mighty good care
her own trade does not suffer. Her
list of absolutely prohibited imports
strikes at many American industries,
giving complete protection to the
equivalent industries of Great Brit
ain. 1t is not merely control of the
seas that gives Great Britain the pow
er to wage war against neutral COM
merce, it is her extensive control of
raw materials. The United States
should be enlisting the services of her
biggest business men for the evolu-
ton of an industrial policy which
will make this country economically
independent of the rest of the world.

The Christian Science Monitor Is
not a partisan publication but 1t has
some able political observers on its
editorial staff. One of them wrote
recently in a leading editorial, that
from present indications there is
little doubt that the Republican par
ty will poll a percentage of its vote
this year as large as any in its his
tory" This is certainly all the Re-
publicans need in order to win. The
Monitor also points out an important
factor in the solicitation of the Re-
publican party when it says that not
only have tens of thousands OF the
Progressives of 1912 returned to the
old flag and renewed their allegiance
but "they are working for the
Hughes ticket with all the energy,
enthusiasm and skill they are able to
command"

VOTED TO TAX BANKS.

The Kansas Banker reports that on
the bill to add another tax on banks,
81 per thousand on capital, surplus
and profits, all the Democratic con-
gressmen of Kansas voted for it and
the two Republicans for its repeal.
Enough Democrats in other states
voted for the repeal so that it may
be cut out. The Banker says: THE
house bill as passed doubles the tax
on the income of individuals, banks
and other corporations, the rate be-
ing raised from l per cent to 2 per
cent of net income, as stated, the bill
