anxieties, his burdens and his
achleVements, he is today subject
ed to more unfair and vile and I'M
true villification and censure than any
/ president who has gone before.
Do you believe that President Will
sen has earned any such treatment
as this from his fellow citizens?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HE is
GETTING A SQUARE DEAL?
The leaders in this offensive and
untrue abuse of President Wilson. IS
is to be expected, are his political
opponents; those who want his job;
men who want you to throw Presl-
dent Wilson out and put them in.
These men are willing to sacrifice
any ideas of decency, of fair play, of
truth, if they can but grab the jobs.
And isn't it shame that men Of
whom we really want to think well
will join in these indecent and un-
fair attacks upon the president of the
Cnlleu states!
Roosevelt Hughes, Taft, Fairbanks,
all, all of them, are out abusing the
president, because they want his job
and the jobs under him.
HAVING GIVEN TO HIS ,COUN-
TRY ITS GREATEST PERIOD Or
HIS POLITICAL IRA
DuCERS AND SLANDERERS SAY
HE is AN ABSOLUTE BUSINESS
FAILURE AND OUR PROSPERITY
ACCIDENTAL.
HAVING PASSED THE NECES-
sARY LAWS FOR THE BENEFIT
AND PROTECTION OF ALL THE
PEOPLE, THEY SAY THAT IN
PASSING SUCH LAWS HE VIOLAT-
ED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES.
HAVING LISTENED TO THE
WRONGS AND BURDENS OF THE
NULTITUDEs, THEY CALL HIN AN
HAVING KEPT OUR COUNTRY
'REE FROM WAR WITH ALL THE
THEY CALL HIM A MILK
SOP AND A COWARD.
OF course, Mr.. Wilson cannot please
hese gentlemen or their party, be.
lause they want the jobs, and no
wrongs are too great and no rights
re SO sacred that they will not COM
nit one and violate the other, if they
an but get the jobs, and they all
eem to be willing to pose before the
'eople of the United states as poll
zeal mudslingers if they think it will
Increase their chances to throw
President Wilson out and get them
elves in.
CAN WE ENCOURAGE OR CON
}ONE SUCH UNFAIR METHODS OF
OF PRESIDENT WILL
'ON?
NO, YOU BET WE CAN'T! HE
WHO GIVES A SQUARE DEAL is

THE PEOPLE WILL GIVE
WILSON SQUARE DEAL.

The Kansas City Post recently
printed an editorial Of which we APP
prove SO heartily that it is borrowed
iE toto. Here it is:
Have we Exaggerated into a nation
Of political blackguards?
Mr.. Wilson has made record as
president of the United States that
has not been equaled, at least during
the last generation.
Every one of the very essential
promises in the platform has been
carried out, and during his term, more
beneficial constructive legislation has
been passed than ever was passed be-
fore in any one administration, and
they were all laws for the benefit Of
the people and not for the rich few.
President Wilson has been honest.
conscientious. wise, patriotic, and in
everything he has said, or done, or
recommended. there constantly ap-
pears his humanity and his love for
his fellow man.
In all his legislation he has shown
his earnest desire to more fairly dis
II ibute the blessings and the burdens
of the world. Truly a remarkable
etl,rd for one man to make in four
years.
AND YET, for all of his labors, his

PRESS COMMENT.
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

For years and years we have beef
told that charity begins at home. Ths
crowding events of today are bringin.
us face to face with the truthfnlness
of the old housewives adage.
When the appeal came from strick
en- Europe the natural sense of cahri
ty found responsive throb in al
American hearts. We did what We
could do 10 alleviate the suffering
forgetful that our generosity and lib.
crafty might bring affliction upon our
own country.
Today we are face to face with a
grave situation.
Europe is in no condition to pro-
duce food products. and Europe is
practically dependent upon the Uni
ed States for food supplies. Because
of this very condition Of want Europe
is willing to pay war prices for wha'
is necessary to maintain the army in
the trenches.
1t is only natural thai the Ameri-
can producer should sell at the high
est price He does sell at the highest
Price, and money borrowed in Wall
street pays the producer for what
he sells.
But it seems time to take a more
conservative view of the situation
If our government permits the whole
sale export of the necessities Of life,
what is going to happen to the folk
at home?
We feel a great sympathy for the
wheat farmer, for the man in our Mid
Gle West whose bins are filled with
corn, but if the continuous shipment
of these two essential food products
continues, and the cost of living COLI
tinues to increase, we will be in
worse fix than Germany, a country
that has been self-sustaining up to
this time, but a country that Will BE-
starved into submission.
The heart of the American man and
woman is warm with sympathy for
any one in trouble and the desire of
every American is to do all that can
be possibly done to relieve distress.
Now is the time TO stop and think
over the grave situation confronting
the American people this winter,
situation caused by the want OF
Europe.
Let us go back to the old motherly
theory and take care Of our own peo-
ble, before we rush to the assistance
of other nations calling upon us for
assistance, only because they have
no other nation to call upon.-Mem-
phis Commercial Appeal.

A little bad weather between now
and the day of election will mean the
adoption of the good roads amend
ment, No. ID, by majority SO large
that it would be for Years the rec ord
which campaign managers would seek
to exceed. This amendment is 4
popular one, but little bad roads

in all sections of Arkansas are now
excellent, as they are every fall. but
these nice dirt roads will become inn
passable when the winter rains have

thrifty nations are tine hardest to
vanquish in war or in any other
great crisis.
There are numerous ways in
which housewife may save, small
ways, few cents at a time, hardly
worth while in the opinion of
some. Many women with large
families would be too proud to ask
their milkmen to deliver skim milk
to them and thus save a few cents,
because the mill1men might think
they were poor or stingy, Or be-
cause they are under the impress
sion that skim milk has little or
no value. Yet it is very cconom-
ical food material. To be sure, it
has lost it's butterfat by being
skinned, but there are left the su-
gar, the mineral substances and the
protein. Skim milk is classed with
such food material as eggs, meat
and cheese. Two quarts and half

and very nutritious.
By buying scale and weighing
her purchases, housekeeper found
that in one week, through short
weights, she had lost 10 cents
which means 1882 a year. When
boiling water to cook food, it would
be we'll for the cook to remember
that no matter how fast the water
boils it gets no hotter and the heat
used in boiling away more water
than is needed is wasted. Many
housewives throw away suet
which, if rendered, has the same
value as lard. st
What makes the city garbage
contract so valuable is the great
amount of fat left after refining.
Analysis of raw garbage shows
that grease constitutes 3.5 per cent
and fertilizer ingredients 03 per
cent. The value of a ton of raw
garbage is about $500, the grease
being worth $500 and the fertil-
izer ingredients $500.
It's these little things that count
with the economical housewives,
who really have more time to think
of how they can save than their
mothers did, and they should not
forget to instill in their children
ideas of thrift in the use of heat,
light and all household commod-
lies.
