THE REJECTED CANDIDATE.

At the last general election the
democrats of Monroe county polled
more than 1900 votes, says the Abba
Union. Had Mr.. Richmond received
the majority of these, which he had
a right to expect, he would have been
an easy winner in the congressional
race. Again, since the United States
has been in this horrible war he has
neglected his own business, given up
his time and money to help with war
work, and made everything else Sec
ondary in his thought and purpose to
help the Allies win the war. We
have heard him make many speeches
loyal ones-and we are thoroughly
convinced that if he was under forty
years of age he would rather put on
the United States uniform and go to
France with the boys than to sit in
the halls of congress from the sixth
district of Iowa.

MODELLING HARVEST LABOR

Steps for the systematic mobiliza.
ton of farm labor in Kansas were
taken at a meeting held in Kansas
City. This is the first of a series of
meetings which are to be arranged by
the Department of Agriculture in a
number of cities to unite the efforts
of all agencies working to secure labor
to help farmers in harvesting their
crops. AT the Kansas City meeting a
committee was appointed to direct
the work of the various agencies in
the State and to see that registrations
are held in the cities, where city EN-.
ployees who will do farm work dur
ing their vacations can register. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 helpers will be
necessary TO harvest the crops in
Kansas this year, and the commercial
organizations in Kansas City have un-
dertaken to supply 10000 of this mum

''On the basis of 1916 income tax re-
turns, if we take all incomes over $780,

es, therefore, at least S3,4S0, 100000

States they would amount to only

THE LOYAL RED MAN.

Many criticisms have been made of
the Indian romances written by James
Fennimore Cooper. His pet red men,
like Uncas and Chingachgook, were
derided because of their alleged hero
ism, their fidelity and their sentimen.
tai acts They were called stage In
dams and in every way untrue to Ma
ture. In England the Cooper ro-
mances were accepted without seri'
GUS question. The Cooper Indians
were looked upon as the genuine ar
ticle. Perhaps, in a measure, our
English cousins were wiser than we
were.
Anyway, there seems to be no ques
ton of the Indians loyalty and fidel
ity and usefulness today In every
reservation the first families OF
America are flying the service flags
The red men have bought literally
of Liberty Bonds, they have given
freely to the Red Cross. There are
Indians in the National Army-sOme
of them are in the trenches on the
western front. One of the reserva
ton tribes offered it's famous peace
pipe, a tribal heirloom, to be sold tC
the highest bidder for the benefit OF
the Red Cross.
That great awakening of loyalty
and service that is sweeping over the
country hasn't missed the red men.

HUN ToRTUREs RECALLED.

Perhaps the living skeletons reach
ing Italy now and then from Austrian
prison camps are bringing home to
Italians to some good end the convic-
ton that Austria has not changed one
whit since the revolt of 1S4S, in the
north of Italy, was crushed with afro
cious cruelties toward the conquered
people. That revolt, filled with glor-
ious memories of struggle for free
dom against overwhelming odds, was
put down, and the. horrors that fol-
lowed were as bad as those Belgium
and France have experienced since
the Hun invasion.
The browning infamy of Austria"
remarks Tomaso Siliani the Italian
writer, was the treatment of the
martyrs of Belfiors. One hundred
and twenty-seyen arrests were effect
ed between July, 1851, and the end of
1852, the victims being charged with
completely in a conspiracy which cen
tered in Mantova. OF these ten
found death on the gallows and forty
received milder sentences. The
prisoners were tortured cruelty dur
ing the trial to wiring out confessions.
Giovanni Cervieri, who survived,
told of his treatment afterward.
After having been kept on. bread and
water for thirty days he said, 4 re-
ceived twenty strokes of the rod on
Jan. 90; thirty more on Jan. 81; ten
more on Feb. q: ten more on the 22d

were being made to fog me again,

torture, l begged for a respite and
obtained it; but was told that even
if l were to die under the rod this
treatment would be continued until
had confessed my guilt
"Is it to be wondered that the Bel
gian atrocities should have rekindled
the hatred of the Italians against the
Germans. While we have said little
outside Of Italy regarding horrors we
could not avenge, the Hun misdeeds
in Belgium have convinced us that
the German is always equal to him

behaves after his kind

AMERICA WILL STICK

Upon his return to London, from his
visit to America, the Archbishop OF
York in a public address said, the
message he had tried to take TO
America was:
I'VE are thankful beyond words to
the provinces of God which brought
this great people, dedicated to free.
dom, into the struggle for the free.
dom of the world. We ask you TO come
quickly to our aid and pledge oursely-
es to hold on until you arrive"
The answer the archbishop said he
had brought back was:
I'VE rejoice that we have seen the
greatness Of this struggle. We are
eager and ready without stint to offer
our resources to this sacred cause. We
viii redeem our promises, FULFILL our
pledges, and stand by you until the
end"
