WILSON, THE EFFICIENT

To President Wilson, at Shadow
Lawn, Henry Ford wired congratula
tons in ending the strike, thus
'Your efforts are appreciated here
should be commended by every citi
zen in the country"
ut has been just one Big Thing
after another with Wilson," says
Thomas A. Edison, the famous in
ventor; and, though a lifelong Re-
publican, Edison declares, II am for
Woodrow Wilson"
II there are two Americans who
above all others have the fame OF
making good in business and of dis
covering the road to the highest eff
ficiency, they are Henry Ford and
Thomas A. Edison. For maximum
efficiency in the chair of the nations
chief magistracy, they declare for
Woodrow Wilson.
Edison admits as to Hughes, that
"his capacity for hindsight, as we
learn from his speeches, is highly de-
veloped"; but for courage, sanity and
foresight, Edison finds that Wilson
holds the record, and, he adds, II do
not think it logical or sensible
thing to change to an inexperienced
and untried man just for sake of a
change"
AS these men think, so the nation
is thinking. Woodrow Wilson's ma
jority is getting bigger every day.

WILSON'S PRoGREssIvIsM

President Wilson's progressive
ideas proven in legislation urged by
him and materialized into law should
appeal to the good sense Of the true
Progressives who were of that party
because of the faith that was in them.
Equally do some of the Wilson ap-
pointments show his progressive ten
denotes. Notable among these are
the appointment of Brandies to the
Supreme Court and Parry and Rublee
to the Federal Trade Commission.
Let is be remembered too that
these appointments were not forced
or made for political reasons, but for
merit and on principle. Rublee's
confirmation was prevented in the
Senate by Senator Gallinger, leader
of the Republican "Old Guard"
Difficult will be the way of any
Progressive applicant for office, even
a Progressive Republican, il Hughes
is elected; he will have to run the
gauntlet of the "Old Guard" before
appointment and again in the Senate
for confirmation. And the same diff
ficulties will beset progressive legis-
lation.

GAS ENGINE ON THE FARM

That the gas engine ranks first
among labor saving machinery and
fills the most important place on the
farm machinery list, is the opinion
of w. H. Sanders, instructor in farm
motors in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
internal combustion engines in
their present stage of efficiency can
be relied upon to a greater degree
than any other type of farm machin-
cry, If they are properly handled by
an operator that understands the
principles of their construction" says
Mr.. Sanders. The average farmer
with little study and the applica-
ton of a small amount of common
sense will find that he is capable of
running and caring for any of the
engines on the market.
"The gas engine is an economic ne
cessity to the modern farmer, not on
ly because of its wide adaptability
but also due to its time saving quail
ties. The modern type Of farmer
finds that he must keep everything
and everybody going at top speed
every day during the rush season. He
also finds that the pace is too much
for either man or beast to stand and
it is here that the gas engines show
their true value.
1.-THE rush season always arrives
in hot weather when the horses are
unable to give their best efforts to
the farmer. The gas engine will
travel through the hot weather with
the same efficiency and is able to
keep up the pace without waver
for "a hours at a stretch"
While the gas engines are not
working they are not eating their
heads off as the horses do, especially
during the winter season, points out
Mr.. Sanders.
The farmer can now purchase an
engine that is guaranteed by the
against imperfection
of materials for term of three
years or more. Next year will put
the small tractor to a severe test.
The experiments will determine to a
great extent it's value on a small
farm.

WELL DONE

1t is doubtful If ever man repre-
sented a congressional district in the
House of Representatives in this
country for whom more unanimous
feeling of good will has existed, than
exists toward Congressman Jouett
Shouse of this district, among both
Democrats and Republicans. The con-
gresham has served his first term in
Congress practically without criti-
cism, which is remarkable achieve
ment in these days of splitting hairs
into numerous parts to arraign the
party in power. In the case of Con-
gresham Shouse there are hundreds
of Republican and former Progress
sives who say that he will be re-
elected on his record, and who feel
that there is no probability of his de-
feat. Such candid admissions are
straws showing which way the wind
is blowing. There is no person in the
Seventh Congressional District who
can urge a boni fide reason why Mr..
Shouse should not be returned. He
has been an indefatigable worker for
his district and for the interests of
his constituents-not in a mere parti-
san way-but in the largest possible
way, and only the narrowest parti-
sanship would deny him the reward
that is due him for his faithful eff
forts. The congressman is, moreover
a big man and a growing man, and in
returning him to Congress the dis
trict will disclose the discrimination
that is the political hope of this coun-
try. This paper believes that he will
without question be returned and
continue to reflect credit upon the
district and upon himself.-Larned

OUR SECRETARIES OF STATE

In the 1876 years of its existence
only four men have held the office of
Secretary of State for more than sew
en- years, and not one for more than
eight years. For example, President
Washington, in eight years of service,
had three secretaries of state, John
Adams in four years had two, Madi-
son had two, Jackson had four, and
Mckinley had three. Secretaries Of
state come and go in rapid success
sion, while the personnel of the regu-
lar staff of the department changes
little, and the lower officials are
changed seldom because the highest
official is changed often. Rarely does
a man assume the Office of secretary
who has had experience in the de-
partment itself, and rarely does he
remain long enough to become ia
miliar with all the ramifications Of
the departments work. He is de-
pendent upon his subordinates, and
he would not feel safe If he changed
them. Before he has gained the
knowledge which would enable him
to make changes in his staff intelli-
gently he resigns himself.-Gillard
Hunt in Harper's Magazine.

We've just elected editors and re-
porters for the graded school news.
We will have more news next time.
School was dismissed Friday for
the Fair so every one would get a
chance to take a ride on the merry
go-round.
The fair was very convenient for
the eighth A this year as they have
been studying live stock raising in
agriculture. They found some very
good examples of stock at the fair.
School did not take up till 2:30
o'clock Wednesday on account of the
fair parade.
The boys have purchased them a
new football.
We have a new Webster's Diction-
airy in the grades, and If you want
to know the meaning of word just
ask any of us-we will be glad to find
it for you.
John Black wants words pro-
nounced like they are spelled.
Our pencil sharpener makes as
much noise as a Ford. 1t needs oil
ing.
Tommy Taylor gets some good
snap shots with his new kodak.
There were many absentees who
stayed out for the fair last week.
The new music teacher gave Nova
Dickerson a new name. He is called
Polly in music class.
We have had to put in several new
seats for new pupils in the eighth A.
Jaunita Farrell, Who attended
school here five years ago, is back to
Liberal again and going to school.
We are all glad she is back.
The eighth A class wrote essays
on "Longfellow" Friday.
Better be saving your money for
the circus. It's coming.
Charlotte Gasaway received slight
injury by one of the swings hitting
her on the forehead.
1t took Roy McMinnville half day
to buy the books he will need in the
sixth grade.
Kansas was once a great swamp.
Suddenly the marshes began to disap-
pear. The animal life had but one of
three things to do-change their hab-
it's, hunt similar conditions or die.
We are in the midst of rapidly chang
ing conditions. The same three OPP
portunities face us as school children
adapt, emigrate, stay.
Last year a number of pupils
worked hard and didn't miss day
nor were tardy, expecting to get di-
ploma for their efforts. These di-
plomas were given by the county sup
erintendent, but since the change to
the second class city we don't get

and sensible In his conduct as We
could expect an intelligent man to be
yet whenever the Spirit called for
him TO go somewhere or to do GER

question. He seemed to think that
when he was on the Lords business
lie could depend on the LORD TO take
care OF him, and even esteemed 1t an
honor If he had to bear some unusual
hardship for his sake. That is a good
pattern for us. There is no extra

to show our courage or our devotion
to a cause, but whatever the LORD
commands us TO do should be done
