THoUHT FOR THE WEEK

We could have stayed out of the
war and saved our bodies and lost
our souls. Germany would then have
won the war; she would have taken
over Belgium, the rich coal and iron
districts of France, regained her colo
MES, possessed herself Of the Brit
ish fleet and received an indemnity
SO large that the KAISER and linden
berg and Won Tirpitz would have
said, "See what we have done: any
war is a good war when it increases
the lpower of state" The warlike
German people and the German army
flushed with victory and wealth, would
have backed up the sentiment, saying
to America: "Come out, you must
make good the loss which you inflict-
ed upon us by furnishing arms and
munitions and food and contrabrand
Of war to our enemies. By that
time we would have begun to wake
up to the fact that Germany's con-
quest Of England was the enthrone-
ment Of force and we would have be-
gun to arm ourselves and get ready
for the final battle between civiliza-
ton and savagery Judge Robert

XMAS TREES TARGETS
Sammies Will Hang Bullets on Fritz
If He Attempts Frnternizing.

Washington, Dec. 19.-There will
be no holiday trench amenities be-
tween Fritz and Sammies on the
American front this Christmas Fritz
may try it, but he won't get far. This
came officially from the war depart
ment today.
When Fritz pokes his seductive lit
tie Yuletide trees up over the trench
to pin the American sector, they will
get the same dose the Tommies and
poflus game them last winter when
they shot them to pieces as fast as
they appeared.
There will be no American reply to
F,ritz's beloved greetings, either.
When he roars his gutturalS across
No Mans Land, the Sammies will let
their guns answer him.
Keep 1t Up on Christmas
With the picture of their first killed
and wounded fresh in his mind, it is
considered unlikely by war depart
ment officials that the American boy
will so much as countenance a luII in
the firing Christmas Eve or Christmas
day.
With broad hints of a peace offer
tr1ckling thru from Amsterdam, it is
considered certain the boche will
eVince a desire to be friendly during
the holidays. Sammy's only Christ
mas greeting to him will be fight
and all his Christmas visits will be
paid with the point of his bayonet pre-
ceding him.
Primarily" said the official declar-
alton at the war department today,
there is no spirit of determination
among our troops. They are for BUSH
ness, not pleasure"

signed by the Russian minister of
agriculture calleds forth a statement
from ]. Frank Smith, general manager
of The Kansas Good Roads associa-
ton to the effect that he has severed

with Russia. the severance dating
from the cold quit and surrender of
the Russians to the kaiser in the

The letter asked for a copy of the
Kansas Road Builder together with
such other bulletins and information
as might be at the command of the
Kansas Good Roads association. In
return for the courtesy the Russian
minister promised to send the Russian
bulletins on road building in Russia.
AS the letter was dated on Septem-
Der II. 1917. before the change in
Russian affairs for the worse, it i'm
plies great compliment to the Kan

MISSOURI WILL GO DRY
But Fail Campaign TO Elect Legisla-
tors VIII Be Hottest Ever

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 19.-Missouri
will go safely dry" when it comes
time for the state legislature to rat
ify the national prohibition amend
ment Endorsed by congress.
Political observers today based this
prediction on the fact that the last
legislature was VIGOROUSLY dry and
there is every indication its strength
turnout the state has gained rather
than diminished. This they count on
for the election of an equally dry
legislature next fall 1t will be this
body which will decide the issue for
Missouri at the next. regular session
in January, 1919.
State wide prohibition was twice de-
feated in Missouri in 1910 and in
1916. At that time it was put up to
the people. This time, however, the
voice of the people will only be re-
fiected in the state reports. "Drys''
were beaten because the preponder-
ance of the wet" vote was with the
cities, st. Louis leading. st. Louis
strength in the next grapple, however,
can best be measured by the fact that
it will have but three representatives
in the legislature.
Political observers look for one of
the hottest fights in Missouri's politi-
cal history in the fall campaign.

DEMOCRACY WINS
Tenton Writers Predicted Canadian
Test Would Fail, but 1t Didn't.

Ottawa, Dec. 19.-Sir Robert Bor
den in a statement today expressed his
satisfaction at the result of the cleo
ton which approved conscription and
the Borden cabinet.
THE Canadian people, he said
after more than three years of heroic
devotion and untold sacrifice were
called upon to say whether Canada S
effort in the war should be main
tanned. In the midst of the campaign
the test of compulsory military service
had to be applied. No severer trial of
the courage, self sacrifice and endur-
ance of a democracy was ever made.
Constitutional writer's of central
Europe had predicted during the past
quarter of century that under some
such test democracy would fail The
Canadian democracy has given a
triumphant refutation to every such
prediction"
