because they supposed that its large
alien element of population would make
faithlessness to America less odious if
there than elsewhere in which we
doubt il they were well advised. But
what does matter is that the American
people shall know their purposes and
the character Of their propaganda. Such
knowledge has been given by the agi-
tation over the finding of a meeting
place, and it has been completely crown
ed by the utterance Of Professor Henry
Wadsworth Longfelow Dana, which
we have quoted. Are they willing TO
surrender to the Kaiser of Kultur, if
thus peace can be obtained? DO they
care nothing for justice, for equity, for
righteousness, for the security Of dem
ocracy? Are the virtue Of womanhood
and the sancity Of human life negli.
gible uifles in their eyes? They want
the war to stop at once, and they re-
gard all other questions as futile.

HERR BARON HEARST.

Out Of the mouth Of babes and suck
lings and now and then out of the
mouth Of the German papers, cometh
wisdom and truth The Vossische Zei-
tung in a recent issue contains this
interesting statement:
War propagandists in the New York
press have lately met stout resistance
from no other than Mr.. Hearst and his
thirty papers, by the issuance of warn
ings to the people about the danger of
plunging into the European war" The
paper continues to expand on Hearst's
American patriotism and the generous
nature of the work he has done for
Germany"
We nominate Herr Won Hearst for
the order of the Black Eagle, not only
because we happen to know that it is
the highest decoration in the kaiser's
gift but also because with it goes a
very dressy yellow sash.

CADORNA.

General Cadorna celebrated his sew
entieth birthday last week by giving
the Austiians another licking. The
thoroughness of the licking served TO
emphasize the interesting fact that Ca
dorna is the only commahder-inchief
in any important beligerent country
who has retained his command since
the beginning Of the war.
This leader, almost unknown outside
his own country three years ago, stands
today as one Of the greatest figures OF
the epochal conflict. He has more con-
structive achievement TO his credit
than any other allied commander He
started with a carefully prepared plan
of campaign and has pursued 1t stead
NY. persistently, relentlessly, without
the slightest deviation.
He has done il modestly, too Mill
tary men in general are not much
given TO loquacity. but Of all the big
war generals. except possibly the de
posed Grand Duke Nicholas, Cadorna
is the most silent He never foretells
a victory, and never brags about one
His reports never exaggerate; they
rather understate.
The announcement Of his birthday re
vealed the fact that Cadorna is seventy
years old. He doesn't lokk like a sep
tuagenarian. And certainly he doesnI
fight as we might expect a septua
genarian to fight. Maybe. though
we've been all wrong about age in
capacitating men for great achieve

LEANER GARBAGE.

movement for the curtailment of food
waste has been effective. The results
were found highly encouraging.
So far as may be judged from analy-
sis Of garbage. household waste in the
United States has fallen off about one
third. The reports cover the month OF
July, and compare il with the same
month last year. 1t was found that in
all but twelve of the fifty-nine cities
the waste had been lessed from twenty.
five to forty-three percent. The most
creditabIe showing was made by San

This reduction can be made by the

THE women of the Ready-to- Help

you have signally failed in all Of these
and we beg to advise you that we

and deplore the way you have misrep.
! resented our state before the nation and
1 the world. Your resignation would be
deeply gratifying TO us and should you
again offer for office in Oklahoma, we
will be Ready-to-Help defeat you"
There is a bit Of grim humor in the
