An UNFIT OFFICIAL.

Without tho proper moulding Of
public opinion It would be impos-
sible TO cary on "A war to the best
advantage.
Germany defeated Russia and
thr9w 1t over the precipicc by tho
simple process OF corruptinE the pub
lie mind It was propaganda, not
guns. which Killed Russia.
Tho United States has n depart
ment OF public information. estab-
lished for the purpose OF educating
the public mind and OF presenting
such printed matter as would be
most likely 10 get the truth about
the war 10 the people. Naturally
such department carries tremend-
Gus responsibility. It's head. np-
pointed by tho president. should be
the most safe and competent man
obtainable.
Who Is at the head OF this de,
partment? George Crcel.
Tho climax OF q series OF unat-
tractiVe facts about Creel appears
with tho publication OF book on
titled 1.-TWO Thousand Questions and
Answers About tho War" for which
Creol has written 4 foreword, thus
giving 1t his sanction.
This book Ia characterized by Dr.
Claude II. VanTyhe. editorial d.
rector OF the bureau OF education OF
the National Secretary league, aS a
masterpiece OF German propa-
ganda." Some OF the questions and
anBwers are as follows:
%. How did Prussia become mil
itaristlc1 A. As a result OF being
licked too often. Whenever France
wanted to fight Austria the road led
through Wurttemburg. Bavaria or
Prussia. At last tho Prussians de-
termined grlmly to fight for them-
selves and II was under the inSpira-
ton OF burning zeal and love for
home and country that the seeds Of
mllitarism were sown."
% Has war ever produced 80
much hatred as this ono? A. Al
ways much the same kind Of attacks
as now on the Germans"
SO extensively pro-German Is this
book that the department OF mill
tary censorship has barred II as un-
desirable for our soldiers 10 read
while training for war.
II is sanctioned by Mr., Creel. The
only possible excuse he could have
for so doing would be that he had
not read the book. This admission
in itself. II he should make 1t, would
be conclusive evidence Of his utter
unfitness Wichita Beacon
And yet President Wilson. who in
sists on advising Americans how
they should vote, persists in retain
ing Mr.. Creel at the head OF the
publicity department OF our govern
ment.

as an officer, and is on his way to
Utica, ~ Y, for officers training In
the machine gun department. His
friends predicted this would happen
10 him. and George said he didn't
want to ne an officer because the
training would delay his going 10

would be over before he could get
there. However, as he IS now
obliged to be an officer, he is de-
lighted that It is to be in the ma
chine gun department.
He writes his mother letter near

COUNTY MAKES C0FFINS,
LOCAL SUPPLY EXHAUSTED

Local undertakers can no longer
supply Coffins for the dead who are
buried by the county Due to A
misinterpretauon OF tho war board
measure or possibly to a shortage OF
labor the cheapest grades OF coffins
known as A and Il cannot be bought.
Provision has been made by the
local humane society to have coffins
made for the county's dead Form
erly the undertAkers had tacit un-
derstanding and without contract
have buried these people at SIS per
capita. This included preparation
for burial, service graves and cof-
fins: but since the increase in de-
mand and the subsequent shortage
the county has been forced to con-
struct their own caskets.
Labor is employed by the day and
the material used is pine and in this
way the cost OF construction without
any trimmings is about 81 apiece
Add to this service other burial costs
and there is little difference in the
former cost to the county and the
present one.

Euerybodys Column.

To the Voters OF Oklahoma:
As the time Is approaching w"' n
we are to 20 to the polls and once
more cast our ballot for governor
and the different state ana county
officers OF oklahoma, also the con
gressmen and representatives from
the different districts in the state,
il is well that we all take into con
slderation the surrounding condl-
tions which have developed from
time to time during the past tour
years and then try 10 exercise the
best Judgment as men OF loyalty ana
PATRIOTISM on election day, NoNen-
ber ; 1918. In an endeavor to elect
men to office who will favor CO.
operation and harmony in the sem
ate and house and thereby assist
the president in the prosecution OF
the war to the fun and complete
satisfaction ~ the American people
and their allies Then to do justice
to the American government, we
should lay aside all old party pref
udice and cast our ballot Tor men
who have been in the service OF the
government durlns the progress OF
the present world war which we
hope is nearing climax, at which
time the greatest responsibility OF
any nation will be upon the presl-
dent senators, and congressman OF
this government, to whom the whole
world is looking for the establish
ment of a world peace---a peace es-
tablished that will stand the test OF
any nation or group of nations. with
combined system OF laws that
will mete out justice to all nations
and men alike.
Therefore it is the duty OF every
American voter to forget that he Is
a democrat or a republican and vote
for the return OF men to congress
and the senate, who have been tried
and who have stood by the presi-
dent in the most critical moments.
Among the many candidates for
election to a national Office Is one
r. 4. Chandler, a candidate for re-
election to congress from the First
district whom conscientiousiy rec
ommend TO the voters OF this dis
trict as a man OF honor and integrity
who has stood firm in the discharge
OF his duty to the American people,
and, as the Sixty-fifth Congressional
Record shows. That record also
shows that the majority OF the re-
publican congressman have given
their hearty support to President
Wilson. while the majority OF demo-
Gratis have opposed him II stands
TO reason that all unbiased men
who will duly consider the coming
situation. when peace of the world
is TO be established, when perfect
cooperation and harmony should
prevan among our national officers,
they will forget politics and vote for
men and not politicians,
Let us vote for the best interests
OF the American people and hoping
to see an 'early victory over Ger
many and her allies and the early
establishment OF world peace. vote
for T A. Chandler.

DENioCRACY'S ENEMIES AT
HOMk.

II the great triumph OF demo-
cracy now at hand as a result OF the
war is TO have tho fullest meaning
for Americans. says the Kansas City
star, we cannot permit privileged
interests at home to perpetuate the
inequalities here which we are fight
ing and dying to dethrone in Eu-
rope.
Let us not deceive ourselves.
kaiseriSm is not greater obstacle
to free government in Germany
than the domination OF corrupt po-
litical machines is to free govern
ment in America
We who by force OF various cir
cumstances have ben left at home
have a duty as clear and trust as
great as those Americans who arc
on democracy's fighting line in
France. What We are winning for
democracy there we must make Sc
cure for ourselves when they re.
turn. We are not dscharging that
duty or guarding that trust At We
surrender our rights and theirs to tho
enemies OF our institutions who from
their intrenchcd places in political
office in the election booth, in public
utilities and in business and con.
tracting alliances with political
bosses, seek to administer local and
state government for private gain
rather than for public welfare.
