LA roLlerrE's PEACE MOVE

Commenting on Senator LaFollette's
peace resolution, the Outlook says;
"As a practical proposition for the
consideration Of congress his resolu'
lion IS hard to understand There ap.
pears to be no chance of its passage.
Congress sufficiently reflects the
temper of the American people to
make that a safe statement
The mere introduction Of such a
resolution exactly serves Germanys
purpose. No matter how falsely it
represents American public sentiment
1t will be eagerly and instantly used
by German publicity agents as if it did
fully represent that sentiment-by
agents also who perfectly understand
how to exalt a senator's influence in
the popular eye abroad 1t will be
used, not only in Germany by those
agents, but especially in Russia where
they are particularly active, and where
by their reported ownership Of many
Russian papers they have already in
terpreted America not as it is, but as
they would have the Russians believe
it is-material, corrupt unsubstantial.
For this and other publicity purposes,
we are told by an ,experiedeed obsery-
er lately in Russia, the German
agents have already spen4 IN Russia
nearly fifty million rubes. AS some
offset in a publicity truth-telling cam
paign in Russia, we have spent about
eighteen thousand rublesl The differ
ence in these sums, according to this
observer, represents the difference in
influence as exhibited respectively by
Germany and America BY the mere
introduction o. his resolution Senator
La Toilette has acted so as to diminish
American Influence in Russia and to
reinforce the influence OF Germany"

BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL CAR

G. p. Hopson. one OF Delta's pro-
gressive business men. has recently
acquired handsome funeral car
which he drove over last week. He
states that f.apite the fact that he
encountered binding snow storm on
Blue mesa. he experienced little diff
cultv in getting the heavy car through.
The car is thoroughly modern In
every respect. equipped with the very
latest improvements. among which
are an automatic casket clamp. large
flower rack and electric dome light
In the interior which IS OF benefit IN
performing night work.
The interior of the car IL handsome
" finished In mahovanv. and the up
holstering OF the Berlin front Is o.
genuine leather, Two fancy electric
lights adorn the cnluinns on tho out
side. while the heavv hand carvings
In drapery effect on the exterior add
the last note of refinement to this
splendid structure.
For ethical reasons. Mr.. Hopson has
dispensed with the old fashioned has.
ket for handling deceased bodies, and
has installed in Its place leather up
holstered stretcher.
Altogether this funeral car is
masterpiece of convenience and beau
