Vice President would Control.

Then the democrats and the republi-

dent would be able to control the situ-
alton for the democrats by casting the

sanization.
Also. since the standing committees
of the Senate are continuing commit

SENATE CONTESTS,
/ DEMOCRATIC HOPE.
Will Seek to Retain Control
by Preventing Seating
of Republicans.

Democrats in the Senate apparently
have determined upon struggle to
RAep control of that body in the next
Ca'usress by effort to prevent seat
1rg of republicans who have been
elected to the Senate on the face of
the returns.
They are planning to contest the
election of a humber of the republi-
cans, including Truman H. Newberry,
who defeated Henry Ford, the demo-
cratic nominee in Michigan; G. H.
Moses. who won out in New Hamp-
shire for the term ending March 8,
1921, and possibly the elections of
Medill Mccormick, to succeed Senator
Lewis, and of Davis Elkins, in West
Virginia.
Revive Old Contest.
The democrats also have resurrected
the old contest over the election of
Senator Sutherland of West Virginia.
Senator Sutherland has been in the
Senate for two years now. The COM
plaint filed two years ago by former
Senator Chiffon. his democratic oppo-
1,ent. had been forgotten until the
Senate privileges and elections COM
mittee met Friday and decided to go
into the matter.
II looks as though the democrats
would take any chances to upset" at
least one republican. If they could do
this the control would swing back to
them. =.

TKNOCKERs.

Those who strive to improve exist
ing conditions are entitled to credit
for much Of the, advancement made
by mankind; but those who knock
at the work of Others, without offer
ing anything in it's stead are destroy
ers. A man with a big hammer can
break down more than one hundred
men can build up, and, by so doing
become an enemy to mankind. il,
Anybody can knock. It's the cheap
est bundle on the bargain counter.
The world has little use for knockers.
This assertion finds ample support in
history. What has become of the
legions of ancient knockers. Are they
not one and all unidentified dust?
This world needs boosters. In or
der to last a man must have a creative
not a destructive mind; must search
for opportunity in every circumstance
must seek for joy in every effort.

ROOSEVELT IN 1920.

I'm some quarters great signifi-
canoe was attached to story that the
colonel was to make speech in st.
Louis on the eve of meeting OF the
republican national committee there on
February r.. His presence here to-
day while a subcommittee of the re-
publican national committee was in
session making preparations for the
st. Louis meeting was cited as another
reason for attaching political signifi-
canoe to his present attitude, the in
ference being that he was making
preparations to get the republican
presidential nomination in 1920" -
Washington correspondence New York
Times.
The first effect of movement to
nominate Roosevelt would be to start
counter movement for Wilson, who
is by far the most formidable man in
the democratic party. The third term
cry would be wholly neutralized by a
Roosevelt movement, and the presl-
dents friends would not be slow to
see their advantage.
A Roosevelt movement would also
involve the commitment of the re-
publican campaign to his policy OF
making the United States military
nation, and this challenge would be
one the president would welcome.
Republican leaders who are looking
to Roosevelt again might just as well
calculate that they will have to beat
the president on platform of his
own choosing Perhaps that is the
sort of job the republican leaders are
looking forward to hopefully.-Regis-
ter and Leader.

PRAISE GIVEN AMERICAN SOL
DIERS' CONDUCT IN FRANCE.

There never has been a better be-
hayed body of men than the American
soldiers in France. In reply to an in
curry from Secretary Baker regarding
the truth of reports of immoderate
drinking among the men, General
Pershing says:
sThere has never been similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France. They
have entered this war with the high
est devotion to duty and with no other
idea than to perform these duties in the
most efficient manner possible. They
fully realize these obligations to their
own people, their friends and the
country.
"a rigid program of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. Engaged in
healthy, interesting exercises in the
open air with simple diet officers and
men. like trained athletes, are ready
for their task. Forbidden the use Of
strong drink and protected by strin-
gent regulations against sexual evils
and. supported by their own moral
courage, their good behavior is the
subject of most favorable comment,
especially by our allies.
"American mothers may rest as
sured that their sons are a credit to
them and to the nation, and they may
well look forward to the proud day
when on the battle field, these splsn-
did men will shed new luster on
American manhood"

What the farmer has to buy also has
gone up in price. But the farmer, un'
like the city dweller, can purchase
very little and still get along. His liv'

In spite of the problem he has to
meet, the farmer is better off now

The world needs food and the gov

|tAS WE STOOD BY LINCOLN"
(Naw York WORLDLY

S3Aking to great gathering o.
republicans in the Republican club Of
New York on April 9, 1917, one week
afterx President Wilson delivered his
war Address to Congress and three
days. after Congress declared that
state Of war existed with Germany
Elihu Root said:
For four years to come the
; democrats will be in control IN
- Washington, and, as we love our
country, we must give to that
Oparty our whole-hearted, earnest,
sincere support, just as If every
man there was republican. mat
is the only way we can prove not
only our love for our country but
that the republican party loves its
country more than place and
I power. -
We need no coalition Govern
ment to make us loyal. We will
= make coalition ourselves with
every democrat in the country.
The coalition of the United States
will be of all it's people to hold
up the hands of the Government
of the United States, no matter
from which party it comes.
Mr.. Root did not utter these noble
and patriotic sentiments in the ex-
pectation that there would be no mis-
takes in the conduct of the, war, that
the great machine that had to be con-
structed would always run smoothly
and that nothing would ever 60
amiss Too wise and experienced in
government to indulge in such delu'
sions, he looked far ahead into the
future:
It is necessary to make a
national army with singleness of
purpose and sympathy, RESPONSE
BILE to one Commander in Chief, -
and not stoop to chickering's.
There will be criticisms and
fault-indings and discomfort, but
that has been an incident to all
wars. 1t is an incident to our
free-and-easy democracy. It will
come again inevitably. Do not
let us Join the band of faint-hearts
when the time of criticism comes,
or withhold our support. When
the inevitable shortcomings OF de-
mocracy must come, then is the
time for stout hearts to stand by
their country and say that no
matter what mistakes are made
we will stand by our Government
and our country.
We will not permit the chorus
of discomfort and criticism to OBJ
scure the real instincts Of patriot
ism. We will stand by the Govern
ment now and all shout hosannas.
We will stand by the President
as we stood by Lincoln when the
faint-hearted were crying that
the war was failure.
