Beware of praise said the philosopher.
When all men applaud you. and the
mass man pats you on the back. ask
yourself what foolish thing you have
done now
The reason for this is simple The
multitude see only the obvious The
only motives they grasp are the plain
and primitive. Thought and foresight
are beyond their depth.
And the crowd is alike a child 1t sees
only the things of today. Tomorrow is
vague.
Also the public feels no impulse until
il is reduced TO its lowest terms. An
appeal to the public must be narrow if
il is TO be intense.
The people understand a war cry, but
not an argument.
The destructive are more cohesive and
consistent than the constructive. Hate
is fiercer than love: revenge burns more
brightly than gratitude; the desire TO
punish imprison, hang. is easier to carry
out than the impulse to heal and cure.
The Russians are finding out what the
French and the Americans learned at
great cost: that down with the old gov
eminent is far simpler than up with the
new
All destructive effort has a peculiar
strength because il is narrow, concen-.
trated Upbuilding requires breadth and
consideration hence is a slow process
and rarely popular.
An experienced war correspondent,
who has studied the European conflict
closely. said that the trouble with the
allies and particularly the United States,
IS that they do not hate enough. A war
for democracy" he insised was too thin
an issue. What we need over here is a
few orphan asylums burned by the Huns,
a Big Bertha shell TO blow up the Wool
worth Building. and few Zeppelin raids
on public school children Then, he said,
We would inject the proper heat into our
war making.
The other day | heard a prominent
politician speak. II was strong appeal
1t was the same sort Of thing, with APP
propriate changes, that had heard him
deliver ten years ago, He is a man of
great following. That is because he is
consistent. And he is consistent because
he is narrow.
People praise him because you know
where to find him" because he is posi-
tive" and unafraid.

LAST TT. RILEY CHANCE
August Camp Only One Open to
Civilians.

Fort Riley, Kan, June 14.-Should
there be any training camps for re-
serve officers established after the
second one, civilians will not be per-
mitted to attend, according TO an an
nouncement sent out by the war de-
partment. After the second camp the
officers will be taken from the ranks
of the regular, the rational guard
and the Lew national army.
The officers trained at the second
camp will be used for the second
drafe of ~ million men. By that
time the war department will have
considerably more than l million SOL
diers in training and it is beliey ed the
men already in service should be pro-
NOTED, thus giving to them full OPP
portunity to earn promotion 10 the
exclusion of those not in actual mill
tary service.
Men now attending training camps
who gave definite promise of being
competent, but who will need more
training, will be encouraged to enter
the second camp. No reserve men en-
listed in the regular army, or national
guardsmel2 who have failed to re-
ce,Ve commission at this camp, will
be received in the second camp. Ma
tional guardsmcn and regulars who:
/ fail will be returned to their regi-
ments and reserve, meE will be dis
charged.
Fewer Admitted.
The number of men admitted to the
second training camp will be consid-
eraly smaller than the number admit
ted to the present camp. The camp a
Fort Riley will care for the applicants
from at least six states and perhaps
eight.
The war department has outlined a
program which probably will be fol-
lowed. The applicants are to be pick
ed in proportion to the population of
the state in which they live. This
order has been issued by the war de-
partment relative to the number of
men to be sent from each state

Matt Franks Again in Jail for Murder
of Oakley Man.

Oakley, Kan, June 14.-Matt
Franks, whom the coroner's jury
turned loose on May 26, for the muir
der of Paul Ubert, at a ranch house
one-haif mile north of Oakley, was
again taken into custody by NJ. j.
Ryan, sheriff of Thomas county, and

killing was accidental. On the morn

officers arrived on the scene. they
found Ubert lying just outside the
ranch house door with a bullet thru
his head. The bullet had penetrated
the back of the head and came out of
the center of the forehead. Ubert lived
clan arrived.
At the coroner's inquest, Franks
protested his innocence and the coro-
nerS jury returned a verdict Stain g
that Ubert was killed by a gun in the
hands of party or parties unknown
Since the date of the murder, a per-
sistent effort has been made to as

Ubert. No clue as to any enemies who
might have fired the shot could be
found Franks and Ubert were living
alone in the ranch house at the time

be the most mysterious killing that

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo


If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless, is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly inJure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lather and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

CEILING is DEFECTIVE
$4,000 Will Be Spent on Grace Cathe.

In building the new Grace cathedral

$4,000 to remedy the faulty proper

The ceiling of the church will prob

to Dean P. Deb. Kaye, pastor. The
felt, it is hoped, will soften the echoes

BORDEAUX FOR BLIGHT
It Is the Best Wet Weather Remedy
for Potatoes, Expert Says.

Lawrence, Kan, June 14.-For the
potato grower who cares to take on a
little potato blight insurance this wet
season, A. j. Mix suggests a spray of
ALSO bordeaux mixture. Add to this
two pounds of lead arsenate paste for
potato bugs. Mr.. Mix is plant path
ologist at the University of Kansas and
is cooperating with Prof. L. E. Melch-
ers, plant pathologist of the state col
lege of agriculture, in work the coun-
ell of defense is carrying on against
plant disease.
Suggestions that summer strength
commercial lime-sulphur mixture be
used instead of bordeaux are not
sound, Mr.. Mix says. While copper
sulphate is very expensive because of
the war, the bordeaux is sufficiently
effective to be cheaper than the inef-
ficient lime-sulphur. Bordeaux should
be home mixed, four pounds of cop
per sulphate mixed with several gal
Ions of water and four pounds of by
drafted lime mixed with a little water,
then the two combined and enough
water added to make fifty gallons of
the mixture.

WILSON TO STUMP
May Tour Nation to Enlighten
People ON War.
Deliberate Campaign to Explain
Why e. S. Was Forced In.

washington, June 14.-From now
on a deliberate campaign is TO be con-
Quoted by the administration for the
purpose of informing the American
people of the reasons which forced
this government into the European
war and the progress which is being
made in our military and naval oper-
ations.
The keynote was struck by the pres
ident in his Flag day speech delivered
today here in Washington. Other
speeches will be made by the chief eX-
ecutiVe during the summer, and 1t
may be if congress adjourns early that
later on he will cross the country and
talk directly to the people. Members
of the cabinet will speak. Senators
and members of the house are expect
ed to do likewise.
Reveal Evil Intrigues.
In other ways. too, the American
people are to be apprised of the
of the United States in connection
Herewith. The committee on infor
nation created by the president for
publicity as we'll as censorship pur-
poses, is preparing number of inter
esting documents which will reveal
the evil intrigues Germany set up
against this country and present facts
which will lead inevitably to the con-
clusion that self preservation, as we'll
as a passion for liberty and democ-
racy was responsible for the entrance
of the United States into the strife.
1t is that the president has in mind
the creation of another commission
for the dissemination of information.
This commission will have charge of
moving picture operations, speaking
campaign by individuals and the like.
Slow to Realize Danger.
1t may seem strange to the average
mind that the administration should
find it necessary, after more than two
months of war, to engage in such a
gigantic campaign of education as is
being planned. But action of the kind
is regarded as imperative in order to
overcome the absence of interest, even
indifference, which exists in some sec
lions.
America, however. has placed its
lives and fortunes back of the gov
eminent and is prepared to permit
| the president to use them in any way
he sees nit to destroy the menace hang
ing over the nation. How impressive
this is will be realized when COMPARE
son is made with the attitude of Great
Britain, not only during the early
stages, but even at the present time of
the war. The British Isles are just
across the channel from the battle
field. Mine explosions in France were
heard the other day by Premier Lloyd
George. Yet England experienced
tremendous difficulty in arousing the
population. and this in spite of the
