HOW SHALL WE WIN2

Col. George Harvey, in a recent issue
of the North American Review, took a
long look ahead in relation to :he out.

wi h everybody else that we shall win,
he propounds the inquiry: "How?"

the president may not have satiscac-

We would not for a moment distract

The records of the federal court in
the district of New York contain an
Indictment which reads like a ro-
nance. It is the charge against the
German who was employed by Sthe
kaiser to foment insunrection among
the negroes of America. the agent
was prolific in promises, among tn m
being one that the negroes, in case
the kaiser wins the war, shall have
several states to govern as they will
Giving away territory which belongs to
others is the kaiser's favorite pastime
When engaged in it he reminds one
of that ancient episode when Satan
took the Savior up into a high place
and promised Him all the kingdoms
of the world; and this at a time, as one
irreverent commentator has observed,
when the poor devil didn't have title
to single acreSpf land.

LARDNER AN "ANTi"
Chairman, State Bourbon Committee
IsNAgninst Thompson.

In a letter to Democrat county
chairmen, Hubert Lardner of Fort
Scott, as Chairman of the state COM
mittee, urges the nomination of
George w. Marble of Fort Scott for
the United States senate. He says
Marble is an original Wilson supporter
and should nave the support of the
party voters in Kansas.
Chairman Lardner's letter urges the
nomination of Marble because he be-
lieves the party will encounter less
trouble in securing his election than
in landing Senator Thompson. He
also says that Senator Thompson was
an original Clark supporter. while
Marble was for Wilson during the
Hutchinson convention in 1912.

Mr.. Hoover has reached the con-
illusion that profiteering cannot be
stopped by price regulation. He sug-
zests taxation as the only remedy.
But there is another. 1t consists IL
eating out purchases of the non
essentials. The manufacture of nom
essentials takes labor and coal, it
causes car shortage and railway con-
gestion, and prices go up with the diff
ficulty of getting supplies. The road
to lower prices is by the reduction Of
consumption and. Of course, produc-
ton of nonessentials. releasing the la
