1t is almost impossible to buy a
good COW these days. Throughout the
state cattle of all kinds are in big de-
mand and hard to obtain at any price.
Inferior cows can not be had for less
than SIS and good stock is worth much
more money. The condition is unfor-
tunate for the reason that tho hay
crop this season is one OF the largest
in years and the price is low. Last
year hay was high in price and as a
result some farmers sold both their
hay and their stock. They reduced
their herds to the minimum and sold
all but enough hay to carry through
the cattle that remained in the sta
bles. Now that they have large
crop of hay and can buy fodder at q
low figure, they are unable to enlarge
their herds because of the scarcity ans
high price Of cattle. The farmer whC
was not tempted by the high prices tC
dispose of his cows and hay and whC
cut some of the corners in order tina
he might purchase the necessary feet
to carry his stock through the winter
is today in a much better position
than one who was misled by the con
ditions that prevailed a few months
ago.

After repeated attempts by
the administration 10 nail 4
press censorship clause to the
espionage bill, the Senate has
passed the bill minus the cen
orship provision. 1t now ap-
pears that the espionage bill
will come out OF conference
with no strings on the press.
So far, SO good. But the adj
ministration has been persi-
stent. and with each modihca-
ton of the now dead censor
ship clause there has been a
return of the press censorship
plan in one form or another.
The public does we'll to bear
the censorship scheme in mind,
and to hold itself in readiness
to swat any temperance of the
political gag program.
n Tree press means the public,
alton OF news vital to the peo-
pie, and the publication Of
comment on that news.
A muzzled press means the
publication OF only such news
as is favorable to the party
and the officials in power, and
the suppression of all comment
unfavorable to such party and
officials.
With a free press, the official
who makes a horrible blunder
or commits a political crime is
exposed and deposed. With a
muzzIed press, the public never
knows that the blunder or the
crime has been committed.
With a free press, the people
continue4o have a voice in gov
eminent. With a muzzled press,
government is entirely in the
hands Of a bureaucracy.
The people must decide: il
is their concern. A few hum
dreds of little editors whose
business is TO gather news and
observe events are not the ones
who suffer by censorship. 1t is
the whole people, the hundred
millions Of us, who are stifled
end cheated when the govern
ment decides TO run things in
The dark.
Government affairs are enough
concealed now, God knows,
even without any censorship.
The State Department has dis
counted newspaper conferences
and the official American atti-
tude toward foreign problems
IS hidden in pigeonholes. The
War Department. too. has shci

down on information, and notis
knows whether prospects are
Igood or i'll for the army now
in the making,
If this is open-faee govern
nent, what would censorship
lbe?
No intelligent newspaper
editor expects TO publish every.
thing he knows about the war,
nor does he expect the govern
ment to tell everything it
knows. Obviously there are
military secrets and governs
ment processes that cannot be
revealed where there IS any
possibility OF a leak 10 the adj
vantage Of the enemy. But that
does not mean that a newspaper
editor may not expose a govern
ment blunder, nor that a news
paper may not criticize an in
capable or crooked official.
There is no need Of a press
censorship in this country.
Rather, in our disorganized
state, there is need for a wider
publicity on all the great pro.
blems that confront us. Eng
land, in her proximity to the
enemy, may have needed some
sort Of censorship, though Ger.

CHASTITY mistake of Gallipoli
that belittled the U-boat; that

inherited from his father a right ID

made this demand.

NO REVOLUTION IN GERMANY.

Revolution ia Germany has been
the daily prayer OF the people OF
the Entente so long that they have
come TO put a childish faith In the
coming OF such a revolution. There
is a widespread belief In America
that such a revolution must come TO
pass and save the day. Many
plausible stories have been told to
prove the imminency of revolt
among the Germans; and. today
many among us + largely baslng
their confidence that the van will
be soon ended upon the belief that
Germany's present Government must
soon fall before an angry people.
This confidence is i~ll.founded. There
is little revolutionary spirit apparent
in Germany today; and no reyglu-
tionary leader has, as yet, made an
appearance. The hope of revolution
IL a vain hope, and must not be
taken into consideration In estimat-
Ing the future difficulties and the
necessary preparations to meet them.
We must dismiss as a factor from
our calculations that of revolution
in Germany, and remember, that but
one leader with revolutionary ideas
has come forward in the Empire
during the war. This leader was
Doctor Karl L~iebknecht.
Karl Liebknecht played a role in
Germany more tragic than important.
1t was written of him after his con
viction before a military court that
'our story does not concern a man
who leaves behind him a vacant
place, who leaves a position untitled
in the life of the nation OF any
Importance whatsoever" The tragic
quality in Lieblneeht's life was that
his fate brought him into conflict
with forces ~predestined to crush
him, no matter what the combina-
ton were that he might make In his
own favor. He did not fall as a
martyr for a great cause, which
demanded a sacrifice in order to fix
the attention Of others, but he fell
in the vain endeayor TO play the role
OF master W a machinery, of which
he understood little, and which he
was totally unable 10 control. Lieb-
knecht never had an influence of
importance, and he never gathered
around him a large enthusiastic fol.
lowing. The material Of Liebknecht's
life is that for the tragedy of a
small man, and not that for a
tragedy Of a leader.
DIR. Karl L~iebknecht was the son
OF a father, who played a role of
political Importance In Germany. 1t
was part Of the sons misfortune TO
inherit his fathers name and po-
iitical mantle. He lacked utterly his
fathers gifts as a writer and as a
politician. He lacked his fathers
sharp political instinct. In spite,
however, or perhaps Just on this
account, he could not withstand the
temptation to continue the role of
his father,
In manner and appearance, Lieb-
knecht lacked those qualities that
win confidence and support. He was
an Indifferent speaker, even In smal.
Ter gatherings. His manner con-
tributed largely to his ultimate
failure TO win a following. He was
a man Of %unpleasipg personal ap-
pearance, and, through an indefatig-
able worker, never was able To
maintain that influence, which had

breath and say to myself, But 1t is
worth while Christmas time afford
ed us a wonderful opportunity. That
is why l have been at it SO hard OF
late. One must make the most Of his
opportunity" IT,. S.. ~.->
The following is an extract from a
letter received here from Edward Mac
Naughton, written December Il. 1916.
He is we'll acquainted with Mr.. Eber-
sole and is in charge Of Y. II. c. A
prison camp work in Austria Hungary:
with the Russian relief fund We are
not only purchasing liebesgaben from
Copenhagen, but through friend in
Wien We have secured half a ton of
prepared cocoa which contains milk
and sugar. The secretaries through
the welfare committees distribute this
boiling hot cocoa to the sick and in.
yalids. ..-. -.
Il wish that you could have accom-
panied Ebersole through the various
wards of a hospital at Grodig to see
the entire Proceedings. The commit
tee-deyoted Russians prepared the
cocoa in a large kettle in the kitchen
and from there they proceeded to the
various wards to give to each man a
steaming hot glass of rich cocoa and
biscuit or two. Ebersole had pur-
chased with money received from Ho-
nolulu some special glasses, .-saucers
and spoons, which added much to the
relish of the cocoa. One of the leaders
announced to- the sick in each ward
that the gilt came from Russian
princess and ! wish you could have
seen the joy which heamed on the
faces Of those who received the gift.
II seemed hardly a drop in the buck.
ct. but there is many man who will
never forget the kind ministry of a
secretary who makes possible this ex-
preston of friendship. We could use
more funds from America for just
such work"
