lamity and war, and all thaD then the function of diplomacy under Wilson ought to suit MT. Hughes. MT Hughes says he doesn't understand what Wilson meant by strict accoun- tability." Apparently the Kaiser did understand it.
 Doesn't Measure Up.
 His speech is in as many words as were ever used by any candidate for the Presidency, in mere blind express sions of antagonism, negation, parti- san hate and criticism, and in as few words as any in the affirmative asser- ton of a fixed position. I am abso- lutely sincere in saying that Demo- crats even who hitherto admired the man and rather admired the letter which he published immediately after he was nominated have felt sorry for him on account of his incapacity to measure up to the present situation, even from the Republican standpoint; i; which is rather a limited one. If Roosevelt had been in his place and could not have found an issue, he would have made one somehow or other.
 The only question that any Demo- cratic stump speaker will have to ask Tn the campaign IS, w nat QOeS MT. Hughes positively propose to do about anything that MT. Wilson has not al- ready done, or which the Democratic Party has not put upon it's programme for future doing."
 Will he repeal the Bank Reserve Act? Does he propose to revise the tariff upward again, as was done un- der Taft's Administration, to the in- finite disgust of the American people {? Does he propose a hostile programme of slaughter of thousands of poor, illiterate, ignorant, needy, starving people in Mexico? Does he propose to take up the Lusitania matter again and carry it further? Does he pro- pose to take MT. Roosevelt's advice and send an American army and navy to Europe for the assertion of Bel gium's undoubted rights of neutral ity?
 He criticises the taking of men 'out of their peaceful pursuits and send ing them to the Mexican border Does he mean by that he would repeal the National Guard Act just passed? If he does not mean that, what does he mean?
 By my count I have now used or abused my thousand words. Heaven knows that I didn't know that I could when I started.

would begin this month. Now the locomotive companies are again being filled up with munitions business The New Haven is suffer- ing not only from delayed deliveries in locomotive power, but from lack of terminal facilities. Switches and sidings at New England factories are now overcrowded with business.
 The New Haven Road owns be- tween 44,000 and 45,000 freight cars and has usually earned mileage from their use on the rails of other com panies, but today there are 47,O0O cars in use on the New Haven rails, and $500 cars arrive thereon daily, while only 5,700 cars depart.
 The war business come down upon New England manufacturers and the inadequate facilities of the New Ha- ven Road heavier than upon any other part of the country and there is little relief in sight.

It is rich to hear MT. Hughes say
 that "the President has followed, not
 led," when whole lot of gray haired
 Senators at Washington are charging
 him every day with having led too
 much. The truth is that he is about
 the first President since Andrew Jack son died that has in fact led Even Lincoln followed, as certain War Gov
 ernors learned when they wanted, inn
 mediate emancipation and various | other things.
 His promise to laid labor" and his | promise that he will "block spoils-
 mem are only the platitudes of poli- ties. Everybody says he will before ne Is elected, and a great many peo-
 pie think they will, and some few like Wilson live up to it.
 The truth is that Wilson's Adminis-
 tration has been almost without par
 allel for affirmative, construcrrve, pro- gressive legislation. One of the few apparently affirmative things in Mir Hughes speech is his advocacy of a
 rural credits bill What we have already done he advocates.

Happiness Comes to
Man and Wife
After Years Of Trials and Disap-
pOintments They are Successful.

Mr.. and Mrs. p. c. Croco, Of
Topeka, Kansas, are two Of the
latest to acknowledge that they
have been relieved from years Of
suffering after taking Taulac.
Mr.. Croco had the following to
say regarding the results he and
his wife secured from the Master
Medicine:
II had been troubled for twen-
ty years with 4 bloatiug of my
stomach. Gas would form after
eating, causing me great pain
and inconvenience. I had no de.
sire for food. as every meal, no
matter how light or carefully pre-.
pared, even toast was sure to be
followed BY pains in my stomach.
| l had headaches to such an extent
that l was miserable when they
came on me. believe I tried
every medicine that any one
would suggest, but all Of them
failed to cause the slightest i'm.
provemeut until I obtained
Tanlac.
After taking a few bottles oi
Tanlac, I am happy to say that
my appetite is stiOuger and / car
eat a good meal without being
troubled afterward. I have nc
more pains in my stomach, I very
seldom have q headache, and
feel like a different man in every
way.
My wife also took Taulac fol
indigestion and liver trouble,
which had given her trouble fol
years, and she claims that she
is not bothered with indigestion
any more and feels better thar
she has for years.
We both are very thankful fol
what Tanlac has done for uS, and
heartily endorse it for al
sufferers"
Tanlac is now on sale in Baxter
Springs by the M. E. Reddy
Drug store.

of LOYALTY to this country.

of loyalty to this country.
We are 4 nation made up Of
the people Of many tongues.
The very nature Of this admix-
ture of uationalities, collectively
constituting 4 great and rich and
powerful nation, becomes at once
its greatest ahd most serious mem
ace.
A people may stand and four
ish only as they remain loyal one
to the other and all to 4 common
flag. Divided they become 4 mass
of snarling, pickering, fighting
factions, each bent upon the de-
struction or elimination of the
other.
And the hyphen is producing
this disastrous effect in America
today.
But it is not yet too late to
pause and take stock of ourselves
and of the position in which We
are placing our common country
the place we know as home,
and which feeds US, and clothes
US. and provides US with the lug
uries and pleasures of life.
Let European monarchs and
European peoples fight their own
battles.
Our business and our duty is to
consider only our own individual
interests, and those interests are
the interests of our own country.
If the time should come when
it becomes imperative that the
United States should take up arms
against any foreign country, then
we should do so as American citi-
zens, as a united country, as a
people who know but one flag and
who serve that flag to the death.
We know many Germans, and
Euglishmen, and people of other
nationalities whom we respect and
love as brothers. They have
adopted our country as their own,
have been taken to our hearts,
and made one of US, and We want
them to remain so.
But we want them Americans,
and not hypheus.

Our Greatest Menace

The people of the United States
are facing the menace of war on
every hand, from every point OF
the compass.
We are having diplomatic trou-
bles with England, and Canada
(England's possession) Is to our
north. We are at the breaking
point with Germany to the east.
Mexico is a thorn in our flesh to
the south, and now comes Japan
as a possible and dangerous ad.
versary to the west.
From every point of the COM
pass!
And yet there is an even great
er menace to the future of our
country right within the circle OF
the compass itself-within our
own borders and among our own
people.
That menace is the hyphen.
Euglishmeu, Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Austrians, Italians, Rus
slams, Serbiaus, men who sprang
from every nationality are forget
ting their American citizenship
and violently espousiug the cause
of one nation or another in the
unhappy strife which is destroy
ing our neighbors across the
water.
Men who came from other coun-
tries to escape oppression and
sought asylum in our land of
freedom are denouncing. our own
government and our congress be-
cause we as a nation do not cham
pion the cause of the particular
country from whence they came.
This condition is not confined to
the people of any one nationality.
II exists wherever a foreign
tongue is spokeu-mildly in some
instances, insanely rabid in
others.
A man is either loyal to his
country or he is not. If he enjoys
the blessings of American citizen
ship and the protection of the
American flag the least he Can
do is to respect his flag and his
country and demonstrate his 10y.
atty by his acts.
