CRITICISES WILSON!
Governor Capper Condemns Stand
President Took on Liquor Issue.

Ottawa, Kan, July 2.-Governor
Capper was the speaker Sunday at the
first of a series of union patriotic
meetings under the management of all
the churches of the city. The gov
ernor said that altho he had stood out
against war as long as there was
possibility of avoiding it, he was now
in favor of vigorous prosecution of
the war.
I'VE are in it now" said the COVER
nor, and we must do our best to see
it thru. No country is worth con-
tinental that does not stand whole
heartedly behind the government when
it is in trouble
Governor Capper expressed great re-
gret that President Wilson had sur
rendered to the beer and wine inter-
ests. "A word from the president was
all that was necessary to completely
wipe out the tntire liquor business
he said, because congress and the
country are ready to act. 1t is not a
time for compromise.
1.-The action of the president in
throwing his influence into the senate
fight to keep the brewerieS open dur
ing the war is most disappointing. l
believe we shall bitterly regret it, if
the food situation is half as bad as
reported, and Washingtons frequent
and almost frantic appeals for food
conservation and increased production
are eloquent of the governments best
knowledge on this point"

There seems to be a shortage of ten

prevent this shortage from Gripping

SERVICE FOR U. S. MEN
Railroad Commission in Russia Ten
dered Special Service.

Petrograd, July 2.-The American
railroad commission, headed by John
F. Stevens, and the embassy staff yes
terday enjoyed the unique distinction
of being welcomed and receiving BEN
ediction in the Russian Orthodox
church at a special service in kazan
cathedral. A ceremony for foreigners
of another faith is without precedent
in the annals of the church.
Archbishop Platon, head of the
Russian church in America, conduct
ed the mass partly in English, and
Father Vladimir Alexandroff, well
known Russian priest of San Fran
cisco, preached in English.
Archbishop Platon presented the
Americans to the congregation with a
few words of introduction about prac-
teal democratic christianity in Amer
lea. A special prayer was then of
fered for the president of the United
States and the Americans present.
