knights of Columbus. He sent the
following letter to the Coney Island
Week Committee:
The White House,
Washington.
My Dear Mr.. Evers:
In the prosecution of war against
the dominance of militarism and for
the protection of our homes, we must
make every effort to tighten the bur-
den Of the men who carry our colors
and to keep them close to the ideals
Of the homes for which they are max
ing the supreme secrifice. To do this
among our own soldiers in camps at
home and abroad, and to carry the
generous message of an unselfish
America to the soldiers and prisoners
in France, in Russia, in Italy, and to
these things without regard to race
or creed or nationality, is to give
reality to their faith in our land and
in the common cause we defend.
The generous work inaugurated by
the knights of Columbus, the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Young Mems Hebrew Association is
SO instinct with the best purposes and
already is so rich in accomplishment
that is should be heartily supported.
The campaign which the knights
of Columbus are undertaking to raise
a special fund for their work is of
capital Importance to the useful work
they are doing in increasing the com
fort and contentment of our citizen
army, and should meet with a gener-
GUS response from all our people.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
The campaign which the President
calls on all the people to respond to
generously is the Knights of Colum-
bus Coney Island Week Drive. From
August 26 to the 31st, inclusive, the
resort will be turned over to the
Knights.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels will be the guest of honor
on Navy Day, Thursday, August 20.
If the pressure of business permits
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
will come to the celebration of Army
Day on Friday of the Week.
The President himself will open the
celebration. All the lights on Coney
Island will go out for a minute on
Monday night. From the White House
Mr.. Wilson will press button. The
lights will be switched on and every
band, orchestra and musical instru-
ment on the Island will play the "Star
Spangled Banner"

WAR INSURANCE.

Our soldiers and sailors have applied Tor
war risk insurance to the amount OF nearly
three billion dollars. the average amount per
man being So. $50. The government would like
to have all men with the colors take out poll
cies before February twelve when automatic IN
surance ceases Until then the government
paws about four thousand dollars TO the wife,
the child or widowed mother OF a man IN the
service who is killed. It viii be easy TO sell life
insurance after the war as the country Will be
educated to understand its value.
Apropos of this, a story Is current II Wash
ington of negro soldiers who had taken out a
$4,000 policy and was trying to convince his
messmate of the wisdom Of following suit. But
the doubter could not see it and argued that
insurance would not help man when he was
dead but you don't understand the other
retorted "We-uns who are insured will De

will be put in the fighting line Does you think
this government is going to take any chances
with us fellows whose death will cost If $4,000

GIVE us PURER WATER.

Disease and following illness is largely re-
suit of condition of mind. Children are suscept-
ible to suggestion from their elders and too
much "babying'' is responsible in large measure
many of the ills of the pre-adoleScent period.
Parents become timid and forward their
thoughts to THEN offspring, with the result that
littleones are inoculated with the virus of sug-
gestion and complain that they do not feel well
enough to go to public school today or to Sun
day school, It may be taken as truth that
child dismissed from the public schools be-
cause of illness will be confined to the home ana
not permitted to roam the streets. Those chill
dren who are in danger of being attacked oy
scarlet fever or scarletina and who are placed
hahind the home bars are in no way to spread
contagion.
It seems an illadvisd, foolish proposition TO
close the educational institutions OF keokuk
because of prevalence of scarlet fever or scar
,etina. The way to fight the visitation is to dig

What's Behind "Nonparfisan League?

$4,000, 600 to spend in political propa-
ganda at this time is sufficient to con-
firm suspicion in the minds of Ameri-
cans who put the war and the coun-
try before self interest and should
arouse suspicion in the minds of those
who are to be asked to swell the fund
by appeals 10 their prejudices and
selfishness. That it will draw every
element of opposition to the country
in war TO it as by a magnet: that IT
will be offered and afforded every pos
sible assistance by pro-German propa-
sandists and disloyalfsts is of course
evident and that German spys Will
strive to accentuate all discomfort and
opposition possible is clear to the dull
lest mind Also it is not entirely evil
dent whence and from whom this vast
propagandist sum is derived by means
of which an automobile and flock OF
organizers are to be put into every
county and school district OF the
states. Surely the nonpartisan farm
ers of the Dakotas complaining of crop
losses and poverty are not contribut-
ing such immense sums to political
movement outside their own state
lines.

MR.. KENYON AT KEokUK.

Sioux City Journal: The Journal
urges a careful reading of Senator
Kenyon's Keokuk address, published
in another column In this paper.
This patriotic utterance is in strik-
ing contrast with the political speech
making in Washington during the last
few days. Senator Kenyon is illum-
mating and convincing. His conVlc-
ton was born of what he saw ana
heard behind the boys in the trenches
in Europe He has a thorough I'M
derstanding of what we are fighting
for. He thoroughly appreciates the
magnitude of the job we have In
hand. II is not only democracy that
is AT stake. he asserts, but humanity
He shows US plainly what we Will
have to do, what kind of thinking we
will have to do, what resolutions we
will be obliged to summon, how
single hearted our purpose must be-
come, if we are to succeed. He re-
veals to us again, as Representative
Dan V. Stephens revealed to US IN
his Sioux City address, what sort OF
a horrible monster it is with which
we battle. We are called upon to do
not only our bit, he declares, but our
best-our "damndest-" He expresses
his faith and confidence in the spirit
and the substantial patriotism OF the
country. He believes the country is
equal to it's huge task. He believes
that our boys of today are OF the
same heroic stuff as the men VINO
made victory possible under Grant,
and Thomas. and Hooker, and Far
ragut, and Dewey. He is bitterly en-
phatic in his condemnation of the
man who is responsible for the war
and for all the horrible. unspeakable
outrages that have followed, and he
urges that he and those jointly re-
sponsible with him be made TO suffer
adequate penalties. The senator >
address is a call to duty. 1t holds a
message for everyone OF us. 1t
points the way for all of us. 1t is in
spring and uplifting 1t shows how
patriotic Iowan, putting politics
aside, is able to give loyal support
10 the government: how he can pay
a deserved tribute to a democratic
president 1t is 100 per cent patriotic.
Ii will do inestimable good. While
/ there is much to require the presence
i in Washington of every member of
congress, the Journal believes that
Senator Kenyon is doing greater
! things for his country by these adj
dresses in Iowa than he could pos
sibly do on the floor of the senate
