CORN is A MAJOR

Corn meal is a cheap and valuable food
stuff which is not in as general use in
the American home as it ought to be-
a pound of dry cornmeal provides
about FIVE times as much energy and
tissue building protein as does a
pound of raw potatoes Just now a
pound of cornmeal costs 1-3 to 10 as
much.

substitute for potatoes, because - it
is prepared by modern milling meth

THE LEADER KITCHIN.

Although opposing the state Of
| war" measure between the United
States and Germany as adopted by
the house, Democratic Leader Claud
/ Kitchin, of North Carolina, has "an-
nounced his readiness to pilot the adj
ministration war program through the
house" In connection with his an
nouncement of willingness" Kitchin
said that he would give the Democratic
caucus an opportunity to decide If it
desired to depose him as house leader.
1t is well that Leader Kitchin sug-
, gests that the caucus take up the
matter of his leadership, and it would
add luster to the stages of betterment
if the Democrats selected another
leader. This would be an aeknow-
Judgement that the party desires men
to lead who are leaders and who are
sympathy with the notions of the men
to be led.
The dispatch which refers to Kitch-
iI.'s announcement says that the gen
eral feeling is that he voted his con-
yictions" What-are our congress-
men doing anything else than voting
their convictions? Is it mark of
credit to cast vote which is the
conscientious opinion of the congress-
man? Does voting ones convictions
entail the loss of the party's strength
Let it be thought that Senator Stone
Of the foreign relations committee
another representative who leads in
theory, but not in fact, voted his con.
victions.
If the congress of the United States
is to be conducted along lines of re-
warding the enemy, though they be
convictions the Democrats could have
performed a graceful act in electing
Mann as the speaker, and placing Gus.
sic Gardner, of Massachusetts in
control of the party's policy. Why,
President Wilson might appoint Jere-
miah OLeary--and where is he, as
his secretary of state. Even, Teddy
Roosevelt could claim honors.
1t is all bosh that the Democratic
party is to be Inundated in the To-
runs of the nation through leader
ship which is opposed to the rank and
file of the men who compose the party
because those men voted their con
victions."
1t will be sad duty in the history
OF the United States to begin a war
the most stupendous in the history OF
the world, with the house divided
against itself. With Kitchin as only
having convictions" for his creden.
tails, and Senator Stone as chairman
of the foreign relations committee be-
cause he is a member of the Demo-
cratic party
How long would President Wilson
continue as chief executive of the ma
ton with the prominent men in his
cabinet opposing his own opinions
even to the event of public declara-
tions. There was Bryan-and he went
out with the God be with you" part
ing. There was Garrison who depart
ed official company as secretary of
war.
tt will be happy day in the ranks
of the Democratic party when our
congressman and senators determine
to select men for leadership who are
worthy to lead a majority-also by
their convictions.

French and English Fraternize as They Have Not Done for More
 Than Century.

Some months ago an old man called at the French embassy and asked to see the ambassador. M. Cambon saw him, and the man pro- duced a little square of old red silk. He explained that this was part of a tricolor flag captured at Waterloo by party of soldiers which includ- ed his grandfather. They had cut up the flag, and this piece had been treasured in the family ever since. The old man felt that he could no longer keep it, and wished to hand it back to our friends the French.
 Another gift at the embassy was no less curious. A visitor called, carrying heavy, flat case. He opened it in the presence of the am- bassador and showed fine picture by Greuze, which he asked the am- bassador to receive as a gift to France. The donor said that it had been in his family for some time, and he wanted now to present 1t to France for a French museum, or to be sold for the French hospital funds, or anything they wished. He refused to give his name, and left no clue to his identity but the pie ture.-Manchester (Eng.) Guard ian.
