GEN HUFFMAN

The Columbus Daily Advocate an
nounces the candidacy Of General
Huffman, Of that city, for the Re-
publican nomination for lieutenant
governor. The General, before the
war better known as DR.. Huffman
has earned for himself position in
public esteem that few Kansans have
ever exceeded. He has made record
for doing things. He was with the
famous Twentieth Kansas in the Phil
ippines. All the years since, he has
been connected in various capacities
with the Kansas National Guard and
Is the present Adjutant General Of
Kansas. He has been a member OF
the Kansas Senate for 16 years, and
is now the senior member Of the Sen
ate. He is certainly well equipped to
serve Kansas as its lieutenant COVER
nor, and his announcement will meet
the approval of the many Kansans
that have served in the Senate with
him.
Baxter Springs Republicans know
General Huffman well and admire
him. They will vote for him to a
man if he is nominated. But the
gracious thing to do, and the neigh
bOrly thing to do, would be to back
Columbus up in the campaign for his
nomination and make the rest Of the
state sit up and take notice of old
Cherokee county.

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN

Minneapolis has won an envi-
able name over the country by
treason of the Unexpectedly large
number of men recruited here
for the navy. It now has anoth-
er chance to gain distinction as
a center of patriotism, and that
is by the number and sum total
of it's subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan" Proportional to its
wealth and population, it has
done well to date, but it is Just

Says System
'> Is Failure

Amsterdam via London, May 3-The
Hamburger Fremdenblatt, at the end
Of three column editorial, comes to the
conclusion that the German political
system is failure and must be chang
ed. The paper says:+
There is no use theorizing. There
is something wrong with our govern
mental system as is clearly proved by
Germany's political failures and in
fact by the whole war. Fresh blood
must be infused in the government"

The Berlin Tageblatee takes up the
statement Of the Koelnische Volks

leaders Of German Free Masonry have
informed it that they have absolutely
nothing to do with such lOutgrowths Of
so-called international Free Masonry.

THE council of national defense
has urged that no standards protect
ing women and children be lowered
at present, and yet, in burst Of en-
thusiasm, some state officials desire
to waive all compulsory education
and child labor laws. The policy of
recruiting agricultural and factory
workers from the school children
eleven to thirteen years old, adopted
in Great Britain at the beginning of
the war, already stands revealed as
short-sighted, and standards too reck-
lessly set aside are now being re-
stored. Sir James Yoxall SAID in par
lament, "A large portion of our ele-
ementary school system is in ruins
