PROFESSOR HAMILTON
the St. Louis Times.

From the St. Louis Times.
 A professor of Princeton. who has taken much interest in the woman suffrage movement, was persuaded to carry ban ner in a parade held in Washington.
 Ills wife observed him marching with a dejected air, and carrying his banner so that it hung Imply on it's standard, and later she reproved him for not mak- ing better appearance.
 Why didn't you march like somebody. and let the people see your banner?a' she asked
 see what was on that banner? It read, Any man can vote. Why can't I?"

* < # tempt to Corrupt Americas Fighting Men

n ANY and varied are the forms
 '1 taken by German propaganda
 this country. So insidious IS the
 rk being carried on that people .ectly affected by it are incredu-
 until their eyes are opened by
 ernment agents.
 Recently, at New Rochelle, what
 ,ears to be well-organized cam
 gn to debauch American soldiers, .uas exposed by federal authorities. Investigation showed that Germans and German sympathizers practically #eoaSrolled the city and by operating Hives, dance halls and immoral re- orts, were systematically making unkards and invalids of soldiers nd sailors. Another attempt to ere ate discontent and unrest in the na- ional army cantonments by circulat- ag reports that a furlough would be ranted for the Christmas holidays, has been traced to German sources. The average person hesitates to be- 4ieve such charges. They appear first triyal, mere outgrowth of hysteria, but we have learned to our cost that 10 methods are too vile for the pur- pose of those who are seeking to idermine America and cripple her
 the war against Germany. Con- tions at New Rochelle, if duplicated "a other parts of the country, would ru1cRiy incapacitate thousands of nasn, through dissipation and dis Sc. An enemy who would poison Fells and drop poisoned candy for 4ungry children to devour, would not esitate to corrupt the morals of our ghting men, if the opportunity pre- sented itself.
 The widespread reports that oul national soldiers now in training camps would be permitted to go home Eor the holidays were intended tc arouse false hopes among the men For obvious reasons, general leave O 8absence cannot be granted. If there were no other obstacles, it would e impossible for the railroads t, rs Eide transportation facilities.
 ihe American people must be ol
 alert. German agents and Ger
 sympathizers are everywhere an, Heir ugly work is being done il laces where it is least expected.

 In his mood of righteous indigna- tion against that "little band of will ful men," against all men calling themselves Americans who have in any way attempted to obstruct the plans of the administration, President Wilson might have expressed himself in harsher terms. Some statesmen, under provocation might have been vitriolic in their invective.
 But the President is perfectly poised and never says anything in a noisy fashion. When he must sting, he stings so it will be felt. If he must cut he does it with a keen blade. LaFollette, Gore and few others were deservedly stung and they will never forget the sensation.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Public Should Attend

''Now that Central High school and Fayette High school have agreed to give the entire proceeds of their game at Redwood Saturday for the state high school championship to the Amer ican Red Cross fund, think the pub lie should do their part and attend the contest" said Dr. James E. Ded . man. "The entire proceeds of the game, except the bare expenses, will be given to the school auxiliary fund of the American Red Cross.
 "The game promises to be one of the best seen here in years. The two teams will weigh about the same, and, according to advance dope, will he as evenly matched as any two teams to meet here in years.
 With the states honors at stawe, expect the two teams to show some real football. Open play will undou5t- edly predominate, but a real classy battle can be anticipated"

just to the patriotic employees and ac- tors, who will contribute their services gratis to raise money for the Red Cross.
 And instead of makeshift perform ances, they will be even better than the regular performances, if that were possible, for they will be infused with the spirit of patriotism and self sacrifice to provide aid and comfort for our fighting men. In fact, there will be some extra features added to make the day notable in Birmingham.
 We cannot afford to let other cities surpass us in attendance at the Red Cross matinees, for we may rest as- sured that there will be keen rivalry. Each city will try to make a fine showing. Birmingham has made remarkable record 1n contributing to the various war funds and this new appeal should not be sighted. We have a reputation to sustain.
 Remember, not cent goes to the theatres or the stage people and the performances will be the best that can be provided.

Pittsburg Criticized for Inconsistency

TOT 4uCOuSlSG6uCy
 7N HE city authorities of Pittsburg
 4 in prohibiting the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra from playing there under the conduetorship of Dr. Ernst Kunwald, an Austrian, or rem .dering a programme containing Ger man compositions, have subjected themselves to the charge of inconsis- tency. Pittsburg has the reputation of being the greatest drinking city per capita in the United States. Now beer and Germany are always as- sociated in the popular mind, and in this country the breweries are owned and operated, as rule, by Germans.
 To be consistent, therefore, the Smoky City should put the ban on the malt beverage. It should go even further and bar all surgical instru- ments and all medicines originating in the Fatherland
 A few weeks ago Dr. Muck, con- ductor of the famous Boston Sym phony, caused something of furry by his disinclination to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" because it did not measure up to his artistic stand ard. But later or, when he learned that public sentiment demanded the American anthem, he made it fea- ture of every concert. In the mean time, the mayor of Baltimore, learn- Ii ing that Dr. Muck was a subject of the Kaiser and that many of the per- formers in the orchestra were Ger mans, forbade the Boston organiza- ton to appear in the Monumental City. But the incident blew over and will soon be forgot.
 In the case of Pittsburg and the Cincinnati orchestra there was no cause for irritation, such as was dis covered in Dr. Muck's attitude toward "The Star-Spangled Banner" Dr. Kunwald, although an Austrian sub- ject, has been tactful enough never to run counter to anything American.
 He was one of the first symphony Headers to play patriotic music and not since the United States entered the war has he failed to give due place to the nations most popular song.
 As for Americans objecting to con- cert music composed by masters of Teutonic birth, nothing could be more absurd. It may be taken for granted that only the narrowest of Pittsburg people had anything to do with bring ing the character of Dr. Kunwald's programme into the count.
 Every American citizen worthy the name is absolutely loyal to the stars and stripes. Our patriotism cannot be too strongly in evidence, and any one living under the protection of the United States government who, in time of war, is disloyal or even luke
 warm in his sympathies should be
 kicked out.
 But let not so humanizing an art
 las music be banned because a
 Beethoven Schubert or a Brahms happened to have been born in Ger many long years ago.

Wider Use Of Cottonseed Oil Studied

Fayetteville. Nov. In order
to aid in the attempt to conserve
our supply of animal oils, the de
partment of home economics of
the College of Agriculture, Uni
versity of Arkansas, is now en-
gagged in determining to what ex
tent cottonseed oil may be used
as a substitute for butter and
fat. European countries are
finding that one of their greatest
needs is a substitute for animal
oils. 1t will be only matter of
time before the United States
will face same situation, is the
opinion of food experts.
1t would seem that the substi-
tuition of cottonseed oils for ami
NAL oils can be made to advan-
tage in many cases. Cottonseed
oil is regarded by some as equal
or superior to butter for cooking
or frying and just as good as oils
for deep fat frying. Cottonseed
oil comprises the greater part of
commercial fats.
