PRESID ENT
Confident
OF LOYALTY

WASHINGTON, d. c., May q
Confidence that in time OF
trouble the great mass of for
etgn- born citizens of the U. S.
would be loyal, was expressed by
President Wilson yesterday in
an address at the opening of the
national service school military
encampment for young women.
Il never had the slightest
doubt of what would happen
when America called upon those
of her citizens born in other
countries to come to the sup
port of the flag" he said.
why, they will come with
cheers; they will come with a mo-
mentum which will make us real
ize that America has once more
been cried awake out of every
sort of distemper and dreams and
distraction, and that any man
who dares tamper with the spirit
of America will be cast out of the
confidence of great nation up
on the instant"
America reawakened in nation
al spirit through lessons of the
European war, was the presi-
dents theme.
He prayed that the country
should not be drawn into war,
but declared that I'VE are living
in the presence of conditions
which We cannot yet assess, be-
cause they are unprecedented"

A TALK WITH DONNA

Isn't 1t strange, little book,
that most of us think we are i'm
mortal. We go along seeing
death on every side; our friends
are snuffed out every day and YET
we never think that some time
the sun will be shining and we
will not be here to see.
l am moved to this old and
obvious thought by the fact that
while Bill Tenney was in more OF
less bad health for many months
and toward the last must have
known death was near, yet he die
nothing toward settling up his af
fairs.
Donna Tenney was over here
yesterday. Poor woman, she
knows very little about the status
of Bills affairs, except that a
small life insurance of $4,000
has been paid to her.
"Fifty-one shares in patent
which brought Bill in an income
of $4,000 last year will now be
under the management of his
partner-a man of no business
ability and one whom I do not
trust at ALL" she said. Bill also
owns a fourth interest in another
business which he bought to
please friend and which for a
number of years brought him ten
thousand year These are the
two properties from which | ex-

FOR CLEANLINESS

Cleanliness, it is admitted on all
sides, is one Of the chief assets of ev-
cry city, and as hint toward making
this and other cities cleaner and heal
thier, if needed, we reproduce the fol-

The States fix the qualifications of
voters, but that is no reason why the
National Democratic Convention
should not declare for woman suff-
rage and the party place its seal of
approval upon this reasonable as
piration Of the progressive, intelli-
gent and patriotic women Of our
country. Women are not only the
mothers of our homes and the source
and stay of our national virtue, but
in large sense the inspiration and
enthusiastic promoters of the nations
refinement and all that makes for
civic beauty, cleanliness, sanitation
and moral uplift. They are entitled
to all the public recognition it is in
the power of the government to grant
them.

DAVE BALL ENDORSES
MUNGER FOR CONGRESS

The Current Local, Of Van Buren,,
Mo-, last week printed the following
strong letter of endorsement from
Hon. D. a. Ball, of Louisiana, Pike
county, Of Hon o. l.. Munger, of
Piedmont, who is candidate for Con-
gress from this 1.-THE Thirteenth) Dis
Iict. That Mr.. Munger is in every
way deserving of such a recommended
ton, we believe that all who know
him will testify;
Editor Of The Current Local:
/ see from the newspapers that my
good friend Orrin L. Munger is can
didate for Congress in the 18th Dis
tIict. Am glad to know that he is in
the race. At this time the democrat
cy of the State should nominate just
such men as Munger if it hopes to
win at the general election. We need
men of ability and men in whom the
people have confidence. AS | see it
the democracy of the State is almost
unit for the denomination and cleo
ton of President Wilson, who has this
far managed to keep our country out
of trouble with foreign countries now
engaged in war, therefore we need
Congressman who, like Munger, have
the courage and ability not only to
stand by and uphold the President,
but have the ability to aid and assist
him.
Coming from the common people,
so called, he, like Lincoln, knows their
wants and will, to the best of his
ability, serve them.
| have known Mr.. Munger for years
and know him to be honest, and able,
true to his convictions and his friends.
Wish | lived in his district that
might vote and work for his nomina-
ton and election.
If elected to Congress he will be
heard from to the good of the people
of his District, State and Nation. We
need just such men in Congress, that
the masses of the people may be req
resented, rather than moneyed and
interests. Not that he is
to honest corporate and
interest, but because these
interests are able and capable to look
after their own protection, whereas.
he people, as mass, are not, except
% elect men who will at all times and
lnder all circumstances see to it that
he interest Of the merchant, farmer,
md laborer are protected. Such a
nan, in my homes judgment, is Orrin
=. Munger. | am,
Yours truly,

BRANDEIS CONFIRMED

On the list inst. the United States
Senate, by vote of Al to % con-
firmed the nomination of Louis d
Brandeis of Boston for Justice of the
Supreme Court, and he will take his
seat in the highest legal tribune in
the land at its next session this
month. From the time President
Wilson sent the appointment of Mr..
Brandeis to the Senate a few months
ago, bitter fight has been waged
both from outside and inside that
body to prevent his confirmation, and
the charges preferred against him
resulted in a long investigation. The
charges were more easily made than
proved, and consisted largely Of in
situations and inuendos that could
not be established.
There appeared to be concerted
effort on the part of certain interests
and their attorneys to weaken his
standing and reputation. He had
forced recognition as one of the fore
most lawyers in the country, but was
too progressive not to say aggressive
along certain lines to suit the ultra
conservative, and there was presump-
tive evidence that he was biased in
his feelings in favor of the public
rather than in favor of big business
interests. Some who acknowledged
his integrity and ability opposed him
on the ground that he was too radi-
cal to possess a judicial temperament;
but little progressivism or even
radicalism might not prove bad
thing for the staid conservatism of
the Supreme Court.
President Wilson stood by his APP
pointment from the first, thoroughly
convinced that he had made no mis-
take in his selection, and has the sat-
isfaction of seeing his judgment ap-
proved by the Senate, We are glad
to note that both Senators Stone and
Reed of this State voted to confirm
the appointment.
Mr., now Justice, Brandeis was, born
in Louisville, KY, is sixty years of
age, and after graduating at Har-
ward University began the practice
of law in Boston in 1878.

GOVERNMENT MAKES PAPER
FROM NEW WOOD

Washington, May 5.-That salts
factory wood pulp can be made from
number of heretofore little known
woods is evidenced by Government
publication just issued, which con-
tains seventy samples of paper man.
ufactured by different processes, chief
ly from woods heretofore practically
unused for this purpose.
1t is pointed out that the spruce
forests of the country are threatened
with exhaustion and that the cost of
spruce pulpwood has steadily increas-
ed. If the price of newsprint paper
IS to be kept at reasonable figure,
say the experts, more efficient meth
DDS of converting spruce into pulp
must be developed or cheaper woods
substituted for it.
The bulletin goes on to say that the
method of manufacturing groundwork
pulp has changed very little since it's
introduction into this country in 1867.
1t was with the idea of developing
new methods and improving the old
that tests were undertaken at the
Forest Service laboratories at Wau-
sau and Madison, Wisconsin. AS a
result, the relation of the different
steps in the manufacturing process to
each other has been definitely estab-
lished and the merits of each treat
ment determined. The paper made
from new woods was given practical
tryout by two large newspapers with
satisfactory results.
The tests showed that eleven new
woods give promise of being suitable
for the production of news print pa
per, while number of others will
produce manila paper and box-boards.
Most of these woods are confined to
the West, while the groundwork in
dustry now obtains the bulk of its
raw material from the East. 1t is
thought that pulp-making plants must
eventually move to points where they
can obtain plentiful supply of wood
and an abundance of cheap water
power, two prime requisites in the
business.
The experts say that because the
National Forests contain immense
quantities of the suitable woods and
abundant opportunities for power de-
velopment, they will undoubtedly play
an important part in the future of the
wood pulp industry.
