WHAT ABOUT POLITICS?

Strange to say, there are many who have feared that, due to the war" the
 good old American game of politics had gone into the discard along with
 multitude of other alleged "non-es
 sentials." No chance! We are about 10 witness a revival of the fascinating game that will stir the citizens to the highest pitch of political controversy What are to be the paramount issues Who knows? Politicians are the most Tesourceful specimens of mankind and they as a rule experience no difficulty in coining issues to suit their con- venience. Besides, everybody surmises that the party in power has been play ing politics all the while; hence it is only natural to suppose that their op- pOnents have detected certain weak spots in the administrations trenches and will take occasion to tell the peo- pie of their discoveries when the time is ripe. The Republicans may be whip ped again at the polls this fall but there is no danger of their allowing the election to go by default
 Already the signs point to a most spirited contest The opening guns 0t the campaign are now being aired in congress. Is it reasonable to sup pose that politics have been buried for the duration of the war with the Pres ident still standing pat on his partisan administration, with both parties claiming credit for the suffragists' vic tory, and with members of both houses openly making the charge that con, -gre5s is nothing more than a rubber stamp" agency in this administration? Every congressman will want to be re- elected; so will some thirty odd sena- tors; and each one will conjure up some pressing reason why he should be should be returned to Washington Also, each one-Republican and Demo- crat alike-will have one or more op- p0nents contesting for his seat; and they too will figure out some plausible appeal to the people That every can didate's claim for office will be pred icated on patriotism, goes without saying. The eagle will scream and the rooster will crow as they never did be- fore. And the people-heayen pity them!-might as well begin to prepare now for the pyrotechnical display of patriotism that is soon to burst upon them.

BEGINNING TO THINK

The kaiser has always cOntended that the United States cannot send an army to Europe. Prisoners captured by the French and English laugh at mention of an American army, which shows that they have been assiduously taught that America will never have a large number of men in the trenches.
 Plainly some Germans do not swal- low what the government feeds them without rolling it around in their mouths a little.
 Dr. Hertz, the Prussian minister of finance, told the Prussian diet recently that it was certain the United States would never oppose Germany with 8 strong army.
 A member of the diet arose and asked why the United States could not send an army to France. He called attention to the fact that Canada had sent 250,000 men to France, and he wondered why the United States, be ing twelve times as large and rich could not we'll send twelve times as many men if necessary. He wound ur by asking the minister of finance what reason he had for his statement.
 The minister of finance was natur ally nonplussed. Germans, even mem bers of the diet, are not supposed tC be of too inquiring a turn of mind The minister weakly responded that he was not able to prove his contention but that he was firmly convinced that the American army could never ma terialize
 Anyway, those ruled by the Hun' are beginning to peer under the edges of things, and that is a most hopefu sign in every case.

Do not forget how appropriate for Stone of Missouri to stand up in the senate and call Roosevelt friend of the kaiser MT. Stone has put on a new record in recent months since he saw that his pro-German stand was making him as popular in this country as a man smoking cigar in a powder factory.

Then the Lord afflicted

1t may be that
Babel was one of sew
eral sites in and around
Babylon, or it may be
that it was the entire
city. Recent scholarly
research has decided
that it was connected
with the Temple OF

Babylonian sanctuary,

brought to light. They
