A few months ago the Reflector

because it refused to print adver-

It also received letters from a
Kansas City attorney for Ball
libel suits il we dared
print any criticism OF the concern.
The criticism appeared just the

People whose time hangs heavily
on their hands are compiling tables
of the vote in states where Col.
Roosevelt spoke in an endeaVor TO
show that his speeches hurt Hughes.
There is an aphorism that every
thing helps and everything hurts IN
notifies; and it is quite possible
that some votes were repealed by
the yigor of the colonel's language.
On the other hand, it is undeniable
that many votes were attracted TO
Hughes by the Colonels advocacy.
one may not exactly divide the re-
suit. but so far as we are concerned
we would much rather have the
colonels support than his opposition
and we hope that in 1920 he will
be found again on the Republican
side.

IT'S A SMALL BUSINESS

The Leavenworth Times calls at
tention to an action Of the Kansas
railroads which is not at all to
their credit.
kansas City, Mo-, is considered
an interstate point from interior
Kansas, although 1t is practically
on the line. People who are inform
ed and are on" to the trick, in
travelling from towns in the inter-
Tor of Kansas to Kansas City, Mo-,
buy their tickets to Kansas City,
Kan, and thus get the advantage
of the two-cent rate, but some poor
man or woman not knowing of the
intricacies of interstate travel will
buy a ticket to Kansas City and be
mulct about two dollars additional
for a ticket to Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, because it is an interstate
point. In other words the railroad
companies are charging their GUS
toners from points in western Kan
sas about two dollars extra for
merely hauling them about three
miles from Kansas City, Kansas, to
the Kansas City union depot. The
uniformed people get stuck for
this amount while those who know
the ropes make all except three
miles of their travel at the rate of
two cents a mile and then get out
and buy a ticket for seven cents
from Kansas City, Kansas, into
Kansas City, Missouri. \ This is
small business for the railroad cor
porations to indulge in
And it is. The railroads by such
actions lose the sympathy of the
public which is worth far more than
the few dollars they gain. The
sufferers are women with children
and those who are not wise" to
the game. The interstate commerce
commission should make an order
which would give the same rate to
all.

THAT SEPARATE PEACE

If, as the news from the eastern
war front indicates, Russia and
Germany are planning to make a
separate peace, it means all sorts
Of trouble for England, France and
their minor allies. II means that
the new alliance would dominate
Europe and that probably Japan
would be a part OF the combination.
England and France would be de-
feated and an industrial world war
would follow that promises no good
either to them or to America. With
such an alliance and with the con
tempt Germany has for the United
States present brand Of too-proud-
to-fight diplomacy We should have
problems to settle beyond any that
have ever been met. At any rate
Germany is not worrying. 1t has
added Rumania, a rich grain pro-
ducing country to its possessions
and claims that it can carry on the
war for 10 years II necessary. Eng

Ever hear of Captain Duffy? Well
he's some American citizen. When
a German submarine torpedoed his
ship-an American ship-the other

stars and stripes and the last thing
to disappear below the waves was
Old Glory. Duffy is evidently not
too proud to fight" and doubtless
his action will be severely con-
demned at Washington-bu Wilson

DIR. Charles Eliot Norton had in
the October Atlantic an article con-
demning the Republicans for not
adopting the income tax and prais-
ing the Democrats for doing 1t. In
the December number he sends a
correction, saying he finds that the
Republicans did adopt the income
tax and Taft signed the final bill
before he went out of office. The
original statement served all right
until after election-but you would
have thought the famous Harvard
scholar knew better.

WILL MAKE ONE
 MORE ATTEMPT
ALL OTHER EFFORTS HAVING FAILED, DIVER WILL
 TAKE A HAND

All efforts toward recovering the body of Adrian Van Aesprian hav- ing failed, diver Stagger went out early this morning and with the assistance of many willing hands will make thorough search for the drowned man. In case he is unable to locate the body powder will be resorted to in the hope that it is still in the vicinity of the acci- dent and will be raised in that way.
 The schooner Pirate will convey the diving party to the scene of the accident and while making pre- parations this morning there were more friends of the unfortunate man offered to go than could be taken care of aboard the Pirate. Owing to the jagged edge boulders in ehe bed of the bay, where he was drowned, it is believed that the body could not have washed very fa1 away from where the accident o'tared.
