What About Sewers?

In Chetopa, Alton, Miami and
two or three other small cities
hereabout sewers are being in
stalled.
II would see m that IL these
towns can afford sewers Baxter
Springs surely should be able 10
put them 10, for Baxter is the
most prosperous town Of all.
By the way, what has become
Of the sewer proposition anyway?
Early in the spring the matter
was discussed quite generally
and four-ffths of the property
owners favored the improvement.
At that time had 4 few of our
representative business men made
the start and circulated the petit.
tion required BY Law the con-
struction work might have been
we'll under way By this time.
This is the year to 60 ahead
A lot of building is going to b.
done ia the coming gear and
every man who builds wants a
sewer to connect with. Many
more homes would be built If the
city had a sewer system.
The News would like to. see
the Commercial Club take the
matter up. Call a special meet
ing of all citizens and taxpayers
for the purpose of having the
subject discussed. If a majority
of the people favor sewers, and
they do without doubt, then let
the Commercial Club appoint q
committee to wait upon the
council and urge that body to
take action at once. Let US have
sewers this year.

The game Of running 4 news
paper l. largely one Of hypCcrisy
No matter how good are the In
teutions Of the editor, he IL al
ways thrown In contact with =
bunch of hyprocrites. No matter
how good the editor tries to be,
he is tempted TO be 4 hypocrite,
too.
The average country editor is
put up against the real thing
every day. Just' in the midst
of an obituary, where he 10 try
ing to throw the sob stuff, some
stiff puts his head inside the
door and yells ITS q boy"
Tears and JOY piugle in the same
breath, and the giving and TAX
ing away of life are recorded on
the same page.
Before he has finished the
obituary the advance man Of
some show from the kerosene
circuit comes in and asks for =
big space to tell all about a show
which he Is going to send to
town.
Before You have completed the
story of your dead friend, and
the new baby, and gotten rid of
your advance man, in comes some
fellow who asks you to keep his
name out of that scrape the other
night.
Then, you are expected to say
the bride is one of the best Look
ing and charming society queens
of the town, when as a matter OF
fact she is a. ugly as 4 mud
fence, and instead of reigniug in
society she puts in her time CAD
ding the streets, and let's mother
do all the housework, while she
! puts in most of the morning
primping, and getting ready to
meet some cigarette---smokiug
dude.

Peace or War?

Ifthe Republicans win in No
vember and Mr.. Hughes becomes
president, will the United States
declare war against Germany. or
Great Britain or any Of the other
European nations because Of
some iufraction of international
rules committed during the ex-
citement of the great war over
there?
If Mr.. Hughes becomes presi.
dent will he at once end peace
negotiations with Mexico and
send an army over the border to
wage war?
Because he has chosen not to
do these things, because he has
successfully kept our country at
peace with all the world, Presi'
dent Wilson is being bitterly
condemned by Mr.. Hughes and
the Republican newspapers.
They say that he is pursuing
a cowardly course in not going
to war, so it is reasonable to
suppose that if they had the
power they would 60 to war.
All voters who are eager for
war should vote for Hughes then,
because if he is to be taken at
his word, war will be lots more
probable under Hughes than
uuIsr Wilson.
AZ for ~, we are satisfied with
peace.

DECEMBER p SHORTEST
DAY OF THE YEAR CALLED
THE WINTER "SOLSTACE"

On the 22nd of this month the sun
stands still The 22nd of December is
called the winter "solstace"-a word
derived from two Latin words, "Sol,
meaning sun, and "Sistere," to stand.
1t was not intended that we should
understand that Old Sol would check
down his engines tofull stop, and pause
in his customary trip across the sky
from east to west. They meant merely
that he would stop falling toward the
horizon, to which, as we all know, he
has been dropping little bit closer
each day ever since the 22nd day OF
June-the longest day of the year. But
on the 22nd of December he hesitates
and on the following day he begins to
climb up toward the zenith again.
In other words, December %, the
shortest of the year, ought theoretically
to be the coolest of the year. Various
conditions of clouds, winds and precipi-
tation, however, make the fact other
wise, and some of our coldest weather
comes along in Januaay and February
when the northern continents don't
turn their faces so far away from the
sun as they do December %.
