BEWARE OF TOO DRY AIR

The winter season has again come,
and the windows of the house are
down. In many homes the air is
dryer than that Of the Saraha desert.
Why? The furnace pan may be empty
or there may be no water on the
stove. If your furniture falls to
pieces and your throat feels huskey,
look out! 1t is dangerous, not to the
furniture, so much, as to the individ-
val. To evaporate several gallons a
day in the house is not too much. To
place pail of water on a register
means to retard the flow of heat; bet
ter place extra pans in the furnace
four is none too many Keep vessels
Of water on the stove. Humidity is
BETTER than stupidity.

WHY LIVING COST IS HIGH?

Why is the cost of living far above
The normal? The great war is large
ly to blame. In Europe some fifty
millions Of producers are either en-
gagged In destruction or aiding others
TO destroy. These are removed from
the peaceful pursuit of producing
food and clothing, and are reaching
Tor each others threats. Besides
those in Europe engaged in destruc-
ton, millions more in the world are
making war material, thus removing
these from the shop or farm. Then,
too, there is a speculative tendency
and monopoly in the great food cen
tiers, all of which prevents the nat
ural regulation of prices. In some
quarters it is claimed food has been
destroyed to prevent it's being thrown
upon the market-not the only in
stance where this has been known to
occur to keep the price high. Lower
prices are not likely to prevail until

WHO KILLED THE BEAR?

The post norton on the failure of
the Republican party is going on in
every northern state where the Re
publicans lost to Mr.. Wilson. In
each state the guilt is pinned upon
some particular Republican In New
Hampshire it is fastened on Gallinger.
In Utah, it is tied to Smoot. In Kan
sas Capper gets it. In California, Hi
ram Johnson is explaining, and in
Washington, Miles Poindexter has to
dodge the bricks.
The black map Of Democracy ex-
tends from the Mississippi practically
to the coast.
Why should a different goat be
found in each state-and goats of
both political factions, Progressives
and standpatters, be accused?
Why not go out of fthe boat bus
mess In locating the blame for
Hughes failure In each state, and

REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION

The Republicans are talking reor-
ganization. It is high time. The mis-
takes Of 1912 have been piled upon
1916, and to win in 1920 will require
new shifting of the forces in order
to cope with the party in power. One
of the elements that enabled the
Democrats to spell success in No
vember was the fact that their tent
was pitched beneath the plum tree.
They were in power. All in Office
contributed to the support Of the cam
paign and this gave the managers
much money for recruiting their
forces and swerving public opinion,
The Democrats will be in power when
the campaign breaks in 1920. The
two disasters of 1917 and 1915 should
be enough to break the old guard Re-
publican leaders from their frail hold
upon the situation and give new and
stronger hands a grip on things. No
doubt the campaign of 1920 will be
more of a contest between parties
than either 1912 or 1916-it will be a
fight between progressives. Being
guided by the light Of experience, the
Republican organization should watch
it's step would it merit the winning
vote in 1920.

The cities Of America harbor some
Of the greatest social and similar
problems of the future. The popula-
don of the cities is growing by leaps
&nd bounds as compared 20 the coun-
Try, and therein lies the difficulty.
Several days ago several eminent per-
sonages gathered in New York city
10 discuss various problems, includ-
ing the temptations that come to
young men in the great metropolis.
John Wannamaker, the Philadelphia
merchant, asserted that the glamor
Of the city enticed young men away
from their duties and made them
waste their time. Jacob Schiff, the
New York banker, said that young
women who were looking out for a
good time were mainly responsible
for young mems defaults. President
Butler Of Columbia university attrib-
Ated a large share Of the failures
among young men to their tendency
20 live beyond their means.

DAYS OF THE RED-TOP BOOTS

Who has forge item the days of the
Eed-top boots-the days OF the home
knit mittens, the warm stockings, the
tppet and the pussy" hood? Those
were the days OF huge earth-covered
piles of potatoes, the abundance OF
apples, the barrels of elder, the
strings of dried pumpkin and har-
vest of herbs in the attic. Then there
were the nuts, the popcorn. the bar
rels of pork, the quarters of beef and
all that went to taboo the high cost
Of living so much heard about these
days. The Evansville review pictures
those times as follows:
"The price of cotton is said to be
the highest in forty-fve years. Most
of our readers. perhaps, hadn't start
ed the trip of life at the beginning of
that period, but those who did, and at
that period were old enough to note
the conditions Of fife around them,
will remember the linsey-woolsey'
days.
CHOSE we're the days when folks
sheared their aock of sheep. had the
wool earded and spun, the thread
Feeled in skeins and woven into cloth
that made garments for the girls and
boys and the old folks.
"The beauty of the time was that
everybody was in fashion who was
comfortably wrapped in warm 1insey-
woolsey.' Social neutrality-suspicious.
wood choppings, corn stockings, spell
in bees, hoe DOWNS church meetin's,
or festivities at which the table
'groaned' under the 'sumptuous repast'
none were too good to attend in
the serviceable 1insey-woolsey.'
"Tallow candles or a eoon-grease
wicker furnished the illumination.
Those plain, unadorned folk didn't
need the glare of modern lights, and
their eyes were the better for it.
Eyes, take us back to the good
old-time events, where caste and
creed didn't cut any figure; at least,
give us as much joy as used to beat
in the hearts longside of 'linsey,
woolsey'!"
Oh, for the days Of long ago!

consider this view Of the situation:
If. in q whole section of the country,
candidate is not able to pull him
self through with his party ticket, il
he runs behind where standpatters
win, as in New Hampshire; and if
he runs behind in state where Pro
gressives win, as in Kansas and Cali
fornia; or if he runs behind where
each faction loses, as in Utah, what
in the world is the sense Of wearing
out good gray gravy in our heads
It is as plain as a boil on your ear
that the candidate isn't as strong a.
his party. So let it go at that. The
West deserted Hughes and elected
Republican governors, senators, con-
gressmen and legislatures in almost
every state.
The time spent In asking who did
it is worse than wasted. The people
did 1.-THE Republican voters Of the
West, because uney wanted to do it.
And it's largely their business why
they wanted to. The want was wide
spread enough to make it clear that
no local leader nor local situation had
anything in the world to do with it.
It makes no difference who killed
the bear. Let's bury him.-Emporia
Gazette.
