But. my friends. the world does not

but peace will ever reign between the

peace. Every man who respects his

is sure of peace. And every nation
that makes right it's guide and honor

these things are believed of US We

swept by storm, TO refrain from I'M
neutral thought.
Moreover, America is composite
nation. You do not realize IL quite so
much in Kansas as it is realized in
some other parts of the Union. So
overwhelming Il portion of your popu-

feel your first consciousness to be of
America and things American. but l
imagine those communities. and they
are many. contain very large
bodies of men whose birthplace. whose
memories, whose family connections
are on the other side of the sea, in
places now swept by the flame of war:
men for whom every mail brings news
of some disaster that. il may be, has
touched those whom they love or has
swept the face of some countryside
which they remember in association
with the days of their youth. Their
intimate sympathies are with some of
the places now most affected by this
titanic struggle. You cannot wonder.
/ do not wonder. that their affections
are stirred and old memories awak-
ened and old passions rekindled.

Many Disappointments.


 How ardently the republican bosses hoped TOT a great ralroaid strike to paralyze industry and promote disor- der is shown by the anger with which they assail the methods by which such a disaster was averted.
 How anxious they were for war with Mexico is proved by the bitterness with which they criticize every meas ure that preserved the peace.
 How thoroughly committed their representatives in congress were to the surrender of American rights at sea was revealed by the votes which they cast when the McLemore and Gore resolutions were under consideration.
 The republicans have had many disappOintm ents in their day, but none more grieVous than these. Yet if things had come to pass as they wished, they would have been no less hostile to the present administration. The strike, the war and the humiliat- ing retreat from the submarine con- troversy, all of which they encoura ged, would have been seized upon at once as the best of reasons for turning the democrats out of power.
 Unpatriotic partisanship of this kind is always$in favor of public calami- ties until IL gets dhem; after that, 1t seeks to embarrass political oppon- ents charged with the conduct of afS fairs who are compelled to face the consequences.
 The three great complaints of the republicans in this campaign are that President Wilson has maintained peace with Mexico, compelled the greatest of military empires to re- spect American rights at sea, and headed off panic breeding strike. It is for these achievements that the country is asked to punish him.

On San Francisco Bay.
(NeW York Sun).


 It is comforting to learn that San Francisco and it's neighbors in Ala meda county are in such a comfort able state of finance that they can afford to build a $22,O00,00O connect ing bridge across five miles of San Francisco Bay, their common harbor. Yet those who are familiar with the social aspect developed in generations of Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley commuters on their mighty ferry boats, double the size of those New Workers are familiar with, will ques- ton if something of loss will not be charged against the gain when rapid electric bridge cars make the twenty or twenty-five minute ferry ride a thing of the lamented past.
 How those lower deck restaurants, not to mention the snug little bars, will be missed! None of your ready to serve food there! Chops, steaks. ham and eggs cooked to order in sight and while you wait; coffee, rolls hot or cold served with admira ble speed by smiling old negro cooks who know their patrons by name, who need not to ask if they want their eggs turned. their coffee mellowed by hot milk or cream.
 And how those commuters on the upper decks on clear days, in the roOmy cabins in the rainy seasons, talked politics, Shakespeare, the musi- cal glasses-what not! Many an election settled there. Those com muters were the despair of San Fran cisco and Alameda county political bosses.
 Those ferry politicians" the bosses used to say, Knock the devil out Of our calculations" True, many a time And sometimes put the devil in.
 And they were great fellows for art. Literature too, naturally, for there was the Berkeley inf1uence Little that is cOmprehended in mans mental vision but was well backed, or got husky body blows on those long trans bay ferry rides.
 It will be a handsome bridge, no doubt with decks for overland trains, for slow moving trucks, speedy auto mobiles. But the lazy half hours on the beautiful bay of illimitable blue! Why, those comm uters will become just ordinary folk, no better than At lantic coast people,

\ Course in JanitorShip.

A western college has started a course in jaritorship. Well, if the apartment house is destined to be the ultimate city type of dwelling, why not offer expert instruction in the du- ties of the man on whom to very large extent the comfort and convent ence of the occupants depend?
 Our social arrangements are rapidly changing. Domestic service is under going a distinct alteration-not to say revolution. Old methods are being re- placed by new. Why not an improved janitor system?
 The remarkable thing about this pioneer course in janitOrship is that it is offered by Iowa State college, which is situated at Ames, country town of little more than 4,000 inhabitants at the last census. It seems as if one of the New York city institutions might have been the first to make such an addition to the American scientific cur riculum.

Oats Are Best Food For Horses.

Farm and Preside says that re- suits show oats are the best food horses can eat. The article says:
 "In comparison with any of the grain ratiOns, oats are the best single grain ration for both mature horses and colts and for raules. There is no ether grain so safe to feed and from which such satisfa ctory results are obtained. The stockmen of Clemson college advise, however, that it is ah- solutely necessary that oats be clean and entirely free from mold in order to obtain best results in feeding to colts. 'Musty' oats are dangerous for colts.
 "A fair allowance of oats for colts after weaning is as follows:
 Up to one year of age, from two to three pounds daily. From one to two years, four to five pounds daily. From two to three years, seven or eight pounds daily.
 "The best way to feed oats is in the whole grain, the expense of crush ing not being justified unless colts suf- fer in teething, in which case it is ad visable to feed steamed crushed oats, which are very nourishing and appe- tizing It is always wise to feed plen- ty of roughage to growing colts. Feed ing concentrated feeds in excess is dis couraged, as it is important that the digestive tract be developed by dis tending it during the growing period. Ungainly, large barreled colts may an- roy the feeder, but this condition al- ways disappears with maturity.
 Proper feeding of colts should al- ways be accompanied by plenty of outdoor exercise for the young animal. In no way can a colt be ruined so easily and surely as by liberal feeding with lack of exercise. Experience proves that close confinement and the raising of good colts do not go to- gether"

simmer thirty minutes. The milk. should then be placed in the ice box.
 Doctors the land over are continu- ally harping on the value of pas teurized milk. Indeed most members of the profession consider the drink ing of unpasteurized milk nothing short of criminal negligence. This, in spite of the fact that there is a growing opposition to presentation of milk on the part of some students of the subject of infant feeding. This school claims that many of the ele- ments of nutrition present in the raw milk at body temperature are lost in bringing it to the necessary tempera- ture of pasteurization. The idea here is that raw milk from healthy cows if properly handled contains no majority of those in the medical pro- fession hold to the policy of Safety First and point out that pasteuriza- ton .obviates any carelessness on the k. The aforeme mentioned method of pas teurizing is the same as that in vogue in the New Britain General hospital and is highly recommended by the city's leading practitioners. It must be noted, however, that there is a diff ference beween pasteurization and sterilization, the latter method being simply nothing more than a boiling process. In pasteurization the milk should never be allowed to attain to PIP degrees Fahrenheit. Proper pas teurization is realized when the sub- stance has been heated to 167 degrees. It should never be brought to the boiling point.
