Kitchin and Stone Should Resign.

Those of us who retain our mental
balance feel some sympathy for the
six senators and the 80 representatives
who voted against declaration of war
We can respect their sincerity much as
we may differ from their stand. We real
ze that what they did was hard to do.
Now that we are at war the hour for
dissent, however, has passed. The coun-
try expects unity and must have it. Two
of those who voted against the resolu-
tions are the leaders in the Senate and
the House. Senator Stone is chairman
of the most important Senate committee,
that of foreign affairs. Representative
Kitchin is the Democratic leader of the
House. The House must initiate all
financial legislation. Such legisla ton is
referred to the committee on ways and
means. kitchin is chairman of that COM
mittee.
Both of these men are now so placed
that they must work for war in which
they disbelieve. They must put through
bills to support the war.
In any country but this, Stone and
Kitchin would resign their leadership
when the majority takes a course of
which each of them disapprove, For
man to keep on doing job he disap
proves of is absurd and inefficient The

The German government seems to be
determiped to maintain to the end the
reputation for hypocrisy, deceit and
falsehood which it acquired at the be-
ginning OF the war. This is manifested
in its pretence of being surprised and
grleved at the American declaration of
war and its protestations that it has
done nothing to deserve such treatment.
1t began the process when it declared
war against France on account of the
invasion and bombardment Of Germany
by French military aeroplanes, an in.
vasion which, as now officially confessed
in Germany, never occurred. 1t contin-
ued it with tales of atrocities commit.
ted by Belgian civilians against German
soldiers, tales which have been proved
false, and with stories OF documents
found at Brussels showing a conspiracy
against Germany by Belgium, France and
England, stories containing not a word
OF truth. 1t published glowing reports
of German aerial raids upon London and
Liverpool, with Unreasonable damage
and destruction, which were entirely
products OF invention. 1t sought to jus;
tify its Lusitania infamy with testi-
mony that the vessel was armed testi-
mony which was admitted by the Ger
man spy who gave il to have been false
and perjured. 1t would be tedious to go
through the whole list OF misrepresenta-
tons and wanton falsehoods. The lat
est OF the series is a logical sequel to
the many which had gone before.
1t is indeed something more than that. |
II is an appalling Indictment of the Ger
man state of mind For Germany is Ell |
Their sincere or insineere in protesting |
that she knows OF no cause for war |
which she has given to America. II she |
IS insincere, as we are inclined to assume,
that fact is sufficient stigmatism. But
i she is sincere what in the world are
We to think of herr BY her own admis-
ZION and according to indisputable evil
lence she has ignored treaties to which
he and we are parties, she has violated
law in which she and we
ire both interested, she has destroyed
American property, she has traversed
American rights. she has murdered and
nassscred American citizens, she has
through her paid agents and spies com
nitted wholesale arson and murder in
American cities, she has conspired for ,
omestic revolt in the United States, and
as intrigued for an alien league against
IS which should invade our territory,
onquer it and partition il among them
elves as spoils OF war. And all this while
diplomatic relations with us
nd protesting friendship for us.
II Germany is sincere in thinking that
hese things afford no adequate cause for
ar, then we must regard her as suffer
~ from the most extraordinary mental
bsession of absolute madness that any
1untry in the world ever knew. Hyp-
critic OF mailman; which! 1t would
robably be the less offensive as it GER
linly would be the more reasonable, TO
iopt the former theory, and to regard
ulture as synonymous with falsehood.

too much space to command a. place in
the small garden, likewise corn and Gu
cumbers, unless they can be worked in
along the borders. 1t is well to grow a
few specialties of which the family are
fond, and which may be troublesome or
expensive TO purchase; okra, for exam
pie, is seldom found in small markets but
is very desirable for use in soup making
and worthy of a little space A short
row of parsley and bunch OF chives or
other herbs take up little space but are
often used by the resourceful cook.
If these small gardens are to give
maximum returns in economy and pleas
ure to the gardener, every available foot
OF space must work continuously from
carly spring until frost. This means
good planning and arrangement, wise
choice Of vegetables, both in kind and
amount of each to plant. Companion
cropping, succession cropping and good
care are very essential.
Companion cropping is method used
to intensity the cropping procedure. 1t
means growing crop in a row with an
other, such as radish and beets; the rad
ish break the soil for the beets, grow
fast and are mature before the beets are
crowded. Radish and lettuce may be
grown between cabbage or tomato plants
Succession crops are follow-up crops,
As early peas followed by spinach, early
peas and beans by late celery, radish
followed by lettuce and the lettuce by
tall turnips
In the city or suburban home, the la
Dor in small garden furnishes both rec
-eation and exercise before and after
lflice hours.

Take When Bilious, Headachy, for Colds,
Bad Breath, Sour
Stomach

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, cas-
tor oil or dangerous calomel, why don't
you keep Cascarets handy in your home?
Cascarets act on the liver and thirty
feet of bowels so gently you don't realize
you have taken cathartic, but they
act thoroughly and can be depended upon
when good liver and bowel cleansing
is necessary-they move the bile and
poison from the bowels without gripping
and sweeten the stomach. You eat one
or two at night like candy, and you
wake up feeling fine, the headache, bill
iousness, bad breath, coated tongue, sour
stomach, constipation, or bad cold disap-
pears. Mothers should give cross, sick,
feverish or bilious children whole Cas-
caret any time--they are harmless and
safe for the little folks.-Adv.
