county treasurer applies the taxes
upon the bonds each year as they
are paid in. At the end of twenty
years the bonds are all paid out OF

amortization in public finance, the
same in principle as the self paying

It turns out, so they say, that the
new postmaster at Chicago is a re-
publican and that President Wilson
is greatly chagrined over the dis
closure. Just how Mr.. Wilson, who
is the most partisan president that
has been in the white house since
the civil war, made such blunder
is hard to conceive.

The legislature should not forget
to restore the circle to the ballot.
The circle expedites voting and the

voter who wants to scratch.

Correspondents for newspapers
who have been in Germany for some
time are now coming out of that
country on account of the threatened
break between Germany and the
United States. When they were
writing for their papers everything
was censored and nothing could get
by that the censors wanted suppress
ed. These correspondents are now
free to tell the whole truth and the
general testimony is that Germany is
suffering greatly from scarcity Of
food. This may explain the recent
launching of the fierce submarine
warfare contrary to international
laws andI the rights of neutral coun-
tries. Germany apparently is SO
hard pressed that she is desperate
and must win the war soon or lose.

GUS father.-Fort Dodge Chronicle
OF course this is intended as re-
Election upon the appointment OF
young Roosevelt. Even partisan pa
pers ought to be willing to give due
credit to the Roosevelt family for
the stand they have taken in sup
port of the United States in its
strained relations with Germany.
Colonel Roosevelt has offered his
services to the president. together
with that of his four sons. What
more can an American citizen do.
Yet he is subjected to just such be-
lifting references as the foregoing
by the blindly partisan democratic
press that apparently is unwilling
to accord Roosevelt fair treatment
even in these trying times. One OF
the high officers of the Spanish
American war, whose name we can
not now recall, said just after the
close of the Cuban campaign, that
Roosevelt made the best soldier for
the time he was in the service of any
man he ever knew. Even Henry

Down in Mississippi they have
started an organization which is go
ing to see to it that true history is
taught in the public schools They
have such an organization in some
of the southern states and the his
tories in those states teach that JEFF
ferson Davis, traitor to the flag, was
a greater patriot and better man
than Abraham Lincoln. They are
strong in the south on "true his
tory" and voting the democratic
ticket. Wonder how it happens that
every man who thinks Jefferson was
a true patriot, better than Abraham
Lincoln, always votes the democratic
ticket?

less than it was, but costs from 40
to SO cents per dozen.

There appears to be little opposi-
ton throughout the country to uni
versal military training. Such
training need not be more than six
months, but that all youths phys!c-
ally fit would be improved by it is
generally conceded. Moreover, uni
versal training, which would mean
universal subsection to military SER
vice, would put all men of fighting
age upon the same basis. The rich

do their duty. In that event there
would be few who would want war

Recruiting Offices have been flooded
with this class of applicants, who

cover up their misdemeanor, accord

present patriotic wave has awaken
