POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS

There is at least one thing Pres
ident Wilson seems powerleSs to ac-
compii,h and that one thing is to
induce congress to adopt the budget
system. Notwithstanding his ap-
peal,; Notwithstanding both nation
al platforms OF 1910 declared for it !;
Notwithstanding the financial experts
OF the country have pointed out its
advantages and notwiths standing al
most every other civilized nation has
accepted it and found it 4 good
thing, the American congress COM
posed almost equally OF Democrats
and Republicans, refuses to adopt
it. Under the present system which
congress refuses 10 change for the
budget system there are no less than
tweuty-niuc different committees
which report bills affecting finances
and that means waste and eXtrav-
aeance. Under the budget system all
bills Tor the appropriation OF public
money would be prepared by one
committee instead OF being tossed
helter-skelter among tWenty-nine.

A PRAYER

On God, our God, who made US free. "
Our God, who gave us Liberty.
Grant us the power, we ask Thee.
To crush the Hun.
Not that we seek great wealth to-
hoard,
Not that we fear the Kaiser's sword.
But that Thy Mercy be restored,
Let this be done.
Blinded ssIs and crushed, by Hun brutes
Women and children feel the blade, ".
Loudly they cry to US for aid.
And we will go. i"
Safeguard our flag across the sea.
Crown it with signal Victory, :
We fight for all humanity, &c..
And for no foe. ~
vengeancy is Thine, so let Thy curse
Fan on the Hun who would immerse
IN blood the peaceful universe.
At Wilhelm's nod.
Soldiers of Freedom, our bows FIGHT
Right, VIC
BE with US, Lord, grant US Thy might
Hear US, Great God.

Red Gross Advice.

At a conference of Red Cross
workers held in St. Louis a decided
stand was taken against relatives
going to cantonment towns to be
near soldiers. 1t was pointed out
that the practice injured the morale
of the soldier, brought about i'm
poverished conditions in his family
aud in some instances created a
condition that threatened to disrupt
the family.
It was agreed at this meeting to
ask chaifmen of all Home Service
Sections to warn relatives against
visiting camps. This may best be
done by telling men about to de
part for camp the danger of having
relatives visit them and asking that
they advise relatives against it.
The Red Cross has been called on
to aid thousands of stranded wives
and mothers who left home and
relatives to visit camps. The ef
forts thus expended by the Rec
Cross could be diverted to aiding
dependents who remain at theil
homes.

Col. Gross a Big Buyer.

Col. Gross, who was here Satur-
day. shipped out seventy.six horses
that day, for which he paid the
farmers of this section the top of
the market prices.
Col. Gross is not only one of the
greatest auctioneers in the country.
but is one of the biggest and best
horse buyers in the west. When,
ever it is advertised that he is to be
here to buy animals there is sure to
be a crowd of farmers in town.

Extension of the Draft.

The extension of the draft ages
in both directions will soon come
before congress and a bill, it is be-
lieved will be quickly passed.
After everybody had had a
chance to guess, Senator Chamber
lain made it public that the War
Department will ask for an exten-
sion of the draft age so as to include
all men from 18 to As.
The sentiment in congress is re-
ported to be against extending the
age lower than 21 years, although
il is expected that the house and
the senate will yield to the de-
mands of the War Department
That the age will be raised
above 81 years is not doubted by
anyone The extension of the draft
age upward will have two results.
The one will be the combing out of
the older men who are not mar
ried, the other will be the extension
of the work or fight rule. Both of
these will meet with general ap-
proval. =
Whatever debate there will be
probably will be over the lowering
of the draft age The War Depart
ment probably will insist on the
age of 20 at least, for the expert
opinion of military men is that the
lower age makes the best soldier.
But the War Department may want
to 60 to the limit of 18 years with
the prOviso that the boys of the
lower age who are called out shall
be trained for year and shall not
be sent abroad until they have at
tained a certain age. Ii such a
plan were adopted it would be the
first step toward universal training
The field of usefulness of the oldest
men under the proposed age exten-
sion will be in every kind of serv-
ice. A sound man at the age of as
years is likely TO be about as good
as he ever YVES, but if any diStinc-
ton is made the older men will
find their place in noncOmbative
service. Unless the war ends
' sooner than most people think il
will, they will be needed in time
No one doubts that it is wise t
prepare them for service early.

Corn GrOp Is Ruined.

Since Friday of last week Marion
county has experienced siege of
hot weather that has never been
equaled and at this writing it seems
as if the tremendous corn crop
would be almost a total failure. We
have never had better prospects,
but there is but little moisture in
the ground and the hot winds com
ing from the southwest burned the
stalks until they looked as if they
had been frost bitten We have
heard of a few fields that were in
comparatively good condit ion yet,
but the general report is that the
crop would not do even for silage
if there were enough silos to hold
it. The thermometer at the court
house registered 110 last Sunday
which was the hottest day, and the
wind from the southwest blew
strongly far into the night. Since
then neither the wind nor the mer.
curry has been quite so high, but
heat has been almost unbearable
and the damage to crops has been
increased.-Palmyra Spectator.
