A RECEPTION FOR MR.. ROOT.

The mayor OF New fOrk mas appoint
ed committee to arrange for public
reception to Elihu Root when he re-
turns to his home city. Some people
are proposing that special medal be
struck and presented to Mr.. Root in
the name of the nation to commemor-
ate his great service as chief of the
American mission at Petrograd.
All this goes to prove that republics
are not ungrateful. Yet, if it is desired
to signalize Mr.. Roots return to Am
erica in a manner befitting his merit,
there is no need of. committees or
medals or public receptions. The
finest greeting which Mr.. Root can
have is one which should come to him
through the United States mails from
the president of the United States in
the form of letter inviting Mr. Root
to a seat in the cabinet-either as
secretary of war, the post where he
first won fame as an organizer and an
executive under Mckinley, or as secre-
,tary of state, where he secured his
greatest renown under Roosevelt.
1t will be a great pity and a great
loss to the country if Mr.. Root is per-
mitted to return home merely to rem
der an account of his stewardship in
Russia and then to take his splendid
talents into the retirement of private
life once more. Men like Root are
needed in the administration today
more than at any previous time in our
history. Everyone admits his trans
cendent ability, everyone admits his
uninpeachable patriotism, everyone
knows his wide experience. his gifts
of perception and expression, his sense
of judgment and his undiminished
capacity for work. In nearly every
respect he is matchless in our public
life.
In calling Mr.. Root to counsel him,
the president would demonstrate in
fact what he has so often undertaken
to express in words-that this war is
a national undertaking without parts
anship or sectionalism.

PUTTING THE SCREWS.

A press dispatch from Washington
states that President Wilson is get
ting early ito put the screws to con-
gress in the matter of the food control
bill" One would imagine that all the
president has to do was to walk down
to the capitol, give congress a few
resounding kicks in the ribs, and get
what he wants. But nothing could be
further from the truth. For five
weeks this bill, urged by him as an
emergency measure. has been before
congress and its passage is not yet in
sight or even assured. What makes
this remarkable is the fact that in
both the house and the senate a large
number of Republicans are supporting
the measure and are ready to vote for
1T at any time. The presidents failure
is directly ascribable, therefore, to his
failure to dominate the organization
of his own party. The chief opposition
to the bill lies there and the leaders
of the opposition openly sneer at the
executive as they flout his wishes.
Without Republican help and much of
lit, President Wilson cannot move a
wheel in congress. His own party
lacks solidarity, cohesiveness, and
strength of purpose. 1t is not a ma
chine, such as is needed in the present
crisis. but rather is 1t disorganized
wrangling mob. apparently intent on
nothing save the voracious gobbling Of
pork and the playing Of sectional poll
tics. The spectacle presented is posi-
lively shocking one and one which
causes the nation to blush for the
president, who. to secure any conces-
sion. is obliged to walk through the
valley of humiliation leaning on the
arm Of the opposition party which for
years he has scorned, reviled. and des-
pitefully used. When, therefore, we
hear of him putting the screws to
congress-" we have to laugh.-Fort
Wayne Und) News.

ANOTHER YEAR,

Last Saturday marked the opening
of the fourth year of the great war in
Europe, the first days of which sees
both sides in death grip for suprem-
acy, with the Entente Allies slightly
in favor
The estimates of killed and wound
ed for the last fiscal year amount
into the hundreds of thousands. The
suffering is beyond our conception,
the terrible slaughter continues with
no immediate prospect of abatement.
The Teutons now seem more or
less at bay and it is to be hoped that
the time is short till they will be oblig-
ed to give up the struggle. as that
is the only hope of peace.
Russia's defensive is still rumbling
and while Dictator Kerensky gives
promise of mending the gaps and get
ting back in the game, still the out
look for effective activity on their
front is not favorable
How much longer the war will last,
no one can but guess. Many people
have predicted that it will end almost
over night. All we can say is God
speed the time. What a sigh of re-
lief the world will utter when the glad
tidings are flashed.

The big parade in the morning start

Many more could be enumerated.
Unless these ingrates are curbed

DRAFT The BUNS.

While the general understanding of
the selective draft when it first be-
came a law. was that it would be so
designed as to leave the producers at
their posts and select the non-produc-
ers for the army, it has developed that
producer is just as much subject to
draft as anyone else.
Every day the question is heard:
Cannot way be found for the next
call to cleanup the streets and pool
rooms Of the buns and let the produc-
ers stay here where they are doing
good?"
The question seems a tough one,
yet 1t is worthy of study by those in
authority. The fact that IL discrimina-
ton is used at all it will be abused, is
plain. No doubt the officials and the
administration would like to have the
matter as it should be, If someone
will suggest system fair and undis-
criminatory.
Right here in Delta we have a num-
ber Of complaints about the draft TAX.
ing number Of the best blood and
leaving the fellows that could be spar

And so 1t is in every community.
There are the pool room boys. horse

that bit Of military training would
do world Of good and the towns
from which they we're drafted would
never miss them.
Cannot some one devise way?
