A thought has been touched on at times, per-
haps harped on, of forgetting the other fellow IS
drawbacks and weak points and searching for the
good in him, at the same time letting him
know that you are searching for it. This
is old stuff perhaps, but like most old stuff,
there is good deal of truth in it. Nothing is
true unless to our ourselves it seems vitality true
and when we believe thing we radiate it. Let
us look for the good in men and pull together not
so much for material things, better this or a
better that, but better, kindlier, happier lives.
We like those VINO like us and they like us be-
cause we like them.

Iowa is going to decide this year whether or
not gigantic scheme of cement paved state
highways, costing millions of dollars, becomes a
definite program. Those opposed to the measure
claim to see the claw-like hand of a cement COM
bination back of the propaganda. In any event
why rush into it?

Mr.. Burkdoll made an excellent talk last
Wednesday evening that was all the more appre-
ciated because the speaker was candid with his
audience and did not attempt to hand out lot
of the fulsome praise and sickening f1attery that
becomes occasionally very palling. Instead he
apparently said what was in his heart and asked
that the business men of Lancaster accept him
and his company as men until they prove them
selves to be different. Fair enough, and bar
gain; here's our hand!

Let us not worry SO much over the eXtrava-
gance of the American people as evidenced by the
increasing use of the automobile. AS a matter
of fact the auto is one of the greatest civilizng
factors of modern life and the man who can af-
ford it should not hesitate in adding car to his
chattels. The white roads beckon and lure, but
not in vain, since the advent of the "buzz-wagon"
and no longer are we cut off from what the out
side world is doing. Gasoline may go higher,
perhaps disappear from the market, but that
means little Other sources of power will be dis
covered and the march of the automobile will go
on until even the humblest shall join in the pro-
cession. Speed the day!

A strange situation that has it's comic side is
noted in the attacks on eX-president Roosevelt.
Other men also have been and are being attacked
by small fry who probably wouldn't have uttered
peep until they felt the lion was old and weak.
His enemies had Teddy on the road to his own
grave following his return from South America
where he suffered injuries to his physique and
nervous system. Since then he has come back
and come back hard Teddy has punch that
is something ferocious and there is nothing
mush-mouthed about him. Ten to one also that
William Of Germany, another super-man, feels as
much liking for Mr.. Roosevelt as he ever did, for
the Kaiser harps on the same essentials of citi-
zenship in his country as Roosevelt does in ours.
The American people have recognized Roosevelt's
bluntness and i'll fact lauded it when he was in
office as an exhibition of a typical American
quality Whether one agrees with Mr.. Roosevelt
and the things he stands for or not it must be
conceded that he is wonderful man, human
dynamo that radiates energy in myriad shower
of sparks and fearless direct fighter. Dislike
him, if you will; respect him you must.

Some men seem to take positive pride in say
ing "they take no interest in politics, that poli-
tics is dirty mess" and that whoever is elect
ed conditions will be the same" and so on. This
kind of sentiment produces more than anything
else, bad government for we, the people, are the
government, and if we do not take an interest in
the conduct of our affairs it goes without saying
what the result will be. Every man should take
an interest in politics. Politics is a great game
and an absorbing one. The grafters and the pork
artists would be considerably more wary if they
felt sure the average man was watching closely
every move they made.

for $3.50 to Auditor Moore to pay
his entrance fee in the race for the
United States Senate, when the vot-
ers of Virginia will, in August, nomin-
ate a candidate for the Senate and
the several candidates for Congress.
The fee is required by law. While
there have been repeated efforts and
reports of candidates who might op-
pose Senator Swanson, so far not one
of the candidates suggested has de-
clarcd his intention to make the]sace,
thus leaving the field open to Senator
Swanson. R. H. Angel has already
been named by the Republicans in the
Sixth District, and in the Third w.
R. Vawter, is to oppose Congressman
Montague. The situation in the Fifth

TO the latest interpretations of the
motives which impelled dispatch OF
the American peace note. London
low regards II as having been sent
with the plain purpose of forcing Ger
many TO state her peace terms and to
carry the Implication that unless
these terms are satisfactory" Amert-
ca may enter the war on the side OF
the allies.
There was. however. considerable
continued criticism of what was
termed the presidents "eoscurity
and felicity" of language and his ap-
parent reversal of principles since
May 81, when he stated that America
was not concerned with the causes
and objects OF the war.
The declaration in the Swiss state
ment that the Swiss government lin
touch with President Wilson FIVE
weeks ago, was regarded as conclu-
siyely disproying the almost univer-
sal belief that the American proffer
was a mere appendix TO the German
peace note.
