Pleading for more wholesome reading

SAYS not all people realize the value OF
a GOOD, clean, wholesome newspaper or
magazine in the home. Parents VINO
are very exacting about their chtldrens
clothing and other physical needs, ana
who take great pains in selecting good
companions for them, often go FAR
astray in not selecting the reading.
OF course, dime novels and other such
trash are excluded from the home,
and the children have no desire for any
such matter, yet read news and adver-
tisen,ents in the daily or monthly pa
pers that come under their notice.
which do equally as great damage as
the trash" would.
Naturally, a newspaper. to be an ac-
curate chronicle of the worlds happen

Unsatisfactory, Either Way.

1t is plain that 1.-THE West" believes
in the craftsmanship" of the party in
power when big crops are sold for ire
mendous prices. All bases of reckon
ing in the past were overthrow by
the amazing trend toward war "pros-
perity." and "he kept us out of war,
wrile we obtained WAR PRICES FOR
WHAT WE HAVE TO SELL" q
The fate of the millions of buyers in
the more densely populated East-the
millions who have nothing to sell, but
everything to buy at heartbreaking
priests not considered by these
apostles of "watchful waiting" for the
pieces of meat that are dropped by the
dogs that fight.
We have been kept out of war" in
Europe by the fact that Europe has
been too busy fighting to bother with
aus. We have been kept out of war in
the Western hemisphere by maintain
ing that fighting and bloodshed and
continued murder and rapine are not
war because war has not been de
clared."
If President Wilson has been re-
elected, his margin in Senate and
House has been reduced to a point that
is to be regretted.
If. in the final figures, Mr.. Hughes
has been elected he will have a Con-
gress opposed to him.
It is an unsatisfactory victory in
either case. We are sorry one party
could not have received a decisive adj
vantage SO that that party might be
held fully responsible for its acts.

A Square Campaign.

- The Republican party and its lead
the character Of the campaign that was
conducted prior to the recent election.
1t was campaign conducted in ac-
cordance with the highest political
standards. 1t was a campaign of
which no member of the party has any
reason to be ashamed.
While there was considerable dis
cussion of the personal characteristics
of Woodrow Wilson, this was made ne
cessary by the fact that his personality
has figured very materially in the
shaping of national policies. He has
been recognized by the other nations
of the earth as the representative Of
public opinion in The United States.
His vacillating characteristics, his
declaration that we are nation too
proud to fight" his general willingness
to surrender rather than persist. be-
came necessary issues in the contest,
because it was up to the American
people to determine whether they de-
sire these new features continued in
the expression of our national charac-
ter. Discussion of the extravaganza,
the broken pledges, and the lack of eff
ficiency of the present administration
related more or less to the personality
of President Wilson, but could scarce
ly be included in the category Of per-
sonal issues.
The more important subjects for
discussion by Republicans were the
fundamental issue of the tariff, the
tendency toward government owner
ship and the willingness of Congress as
web as the President to surrender to
the coercive demands of small body
of citizens who demanded that Con-
gress should be legislative enactment
require a quasi public corporation to
increase their wages.
This was an educational campaign
in much the same sense as the cam
paign of 1896 when Mckinley ran
against Bryan. Bryan had not served
the nation in the Presidency. He had
therefore, no official record which
called for discussion. Nothing then
was known of the character of STAMP
which his personality would place upon
the nation. Aside from this dinerence
the recent campaign has been of
highly educational character. as was
the campaign of 1896.
