SIR VIM. ROBERTSON
 ONCE WAS PRIVATE
(Kansas City JournaD

It is not generally known that Gen eral Sir William Robertson, chief Of staff of the British army, upon whom 6evolves some of the gravest duties in connection with the organization of Britain's armed forces, is a self made officer, who has come up from the ranks. He was born at Welbourte in Lincolnshire, in 1860, and spent his youth in the country.
 When he was about IS he decided to enter the army and, tramping to London, was duly enlisted in the Ninth Lancers. He had received little education and in appearance was but a big, raw-boned rural youth, but he was full of determination and pluck. He studied hard in his leisure time and after serving for nearly ten years applied for a commission. He passed 6 very difficult examination with fly ing colors and was gazetted to the Third Dragoon guards.
 That was in 1888. In 1892 he was sent to India and served there with distinction. He has served in the in- telligence department of the war cf- flee and in South Africa. In 1910 he was made commandant of the army staff college. When the war broke out he went to France with Sir John
 French, in the capacity of quarter master general and his brilliant serv- ices led to his appointment as chiet of staff of the British army.

 Not long ago the New York Tribune, believing that the president misunderstood the German people said We fear that the trouble with Germany is Germans, but hope the president is right" and the Tribune added, We fear that the only kind of propaganda Germany will understand is an unlimited quantity of highly finished industrial products de- livered at high velocity"

The Grave and the Sun

We have not any special regard for Meyer London socialist representative from New York; and whatever objection have to him is based on the over' the foolish Representative Martin Dies of Texas who made unfavorabe attack upon him in the house Saturday when he replied that the Texan took his inspiration from the grave while he himself looked toward the rising
 It is well for us to have proper regard for the memory of illustrious dead and to be guided by the wisdom which inspired them Many of the prin- ciples they laid down unchangng. In fact, we may broadly regard every principle immutable and as applicable to period of national istence another.
 But apt to confound principles with pol- ices which at the whirs of circumstances. A policy which wise and healthful in the time of Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton may not be at all applicable A policy which the other of them advocated at that time may be very wisely supplemented by policy advocated by either Mr. London MT. Dies.
 We might well insist upon adherence to the style of clothes those great insist upon maintenance of all the policies they advocated They themselves in their wisdom could not have believed that policies applicable to the country in the last decade of the eighteenth century and the first of the nineteenth should be fastened upon the country in the second decade of the twentieth. To have believed so would have belief that there could be expansion, improvements change

The Time Is Short

It is only four days until the primary election for a mayor will be held
 There are more than $500 voters to be induced to overcome the apathy with which primary cleo tions usually regarded; to remove the mis- understanding that the primary is nothing than preliminary election of minor importance
 But at this primary next Friday mayor will be elected; he will be either MT. Woods or MT. Corpstein.
 And at the same time two commissioners may be elected. We inclined to believe that two will be elected and in that case there will be no other election
 The issue is a very simple one, the simplest that could be presented. All the expression the is expected to make is whether he is satisfied with things as they are now in the city or whether he desires change.
 That is all there is to it."
 Every voter must have some and very defi- nite opinion to this.
 We suppose every voter, every and every would like to go on record for or against a change, but hundreds will not take the trouble to do unless it is urged upon them.
 There must be in every block in the city some with very decided views this issue, and he should make it his business to his neghbors who have less decided views and induce them to come out next Friday and express them.
 It is going to be- far as workers can judge pretty close contest. A single vote may decide it. We hope it will be a close margin on a very heavy, vote and then the side that wins will know that it has not a wide margin of public patience to draw upon. Unless it then carries itself straight, it will know that there will be an overturning next year. if not recall earlier.
 We hope for this that every one of the 56S1 registered votes will be cast next Friday. It will be in the interest of good government.
 Speaking again of the issue change or no change the candidates are lined up in this way: Mir. Woods candidate for mayor, and Messrs Irvine, Norviel and Mills are advocates of change of government policies
 Mir. Corpsten for mayor and Messrs Barnett and Powell, candidates for the commission are for change.

THE DEVIL
(By JOHN B. LODWICK)

(By JOHN B. LODNlCk) The devil is a schemer.
 He understands our mind, He tempts us to his service
 With nice things of all kind. He knows our personal weakness;
 He sees us all within. Beware, he is a demon
 And father of all sin. He's crafty to discover
 The taste of every man; He knows our likes and dislikes
 And tenlpts us all he can. And we will find him always
 Right at his very best, Tormenting the church people; He puts them to the test. Heavens kingdom is within you, Our Savior's doctrines true. We know it, we believe it, And we realize it, too. And yet, we stop and foster
 Grand suppers. all for gain. To catch men through their stomachs How sinful. Oh, how vain. Consistency, where art thou2 List to my humble cry. | Stir up my Christian people, 1 Let this not pass them by. Gods children who are spiritual, | With pure desires within, Be firm and strong, undoubted,
 And down this carnal sin. L wish I now could mark him 1 So plain that all could see l Who is this crafty rascal
 That's taunting you and me. Be right with God at all times;
 His praise forever sing. I The devil has no quarters
 Since Christ, the Lord, is king.

A German Joke

One of the German peace terms mentioned in the dispatches of yesterday having been imposed Russia is that Russia shall agree not to spread revolutionary propaganda in the central empires" Foreign Secretary Kuehlman must have had a hearty laugh in his sleeve when he penned that We can visualize the merriment of von Hindenburg and even of the kaiser. when it was shown to then It is the joke in the whole list of terms It is ;he one condition with which Russia can comply without a murmur-and without an effort It is water running down hill; it is sparks flying upward. We cannot conceive ,t any sort of a propaganda from Russia. in the state into which has been brought in the last three months spreading anywhere out side of Russia.
 When the imperial government was overthrown last spring there hope and in our ignorance of conditions in Germany, a unreasonable one that what we supposed the newly awakened spirit of democracy would spread to Germany We pie ured to our satisfaction the infection of the German troops the eastern front during periods of fraternization with the Russian soldiers We hoped that the spirit of democracy would win for us a bloodless and inexpensive victory over Prussanism
 Now we do not think there was any likelihood of infection. There ailments common to one form of animal life that be communicated to another form We cannot give measles to the lower animals and they are afflicted with certain ailments to which immune There is as much difference between the mental processes of the Ger man and the Russian, due to centuries of breeding and training, there is between the physical sruc- tural peculiarities of animals of diverse genera
 Even if the Germans were not mpervious to a reasonable sensible democracy-and we think they are for we have wasted some time within the past year, trying to noculate them-they certainly have not been liable to the infection of anarchy which succeeded what we had diagnosed as democracy in Russia. So the German government of the people that according to article in one of the weekly popular magazines. it has sent Germans through Russia to for themselves how de mocracy' working there, believing that their reports the horrible example, would .solidify the content of the German people with the regime under which they live

GENIUS OF TWAIN
 SHINES IN LETTERS
(New York Evening Pos, I,

People constantly complain about the anaema of our contemporary liter ature, its lost gusto, its Xant of zest, of native energy and vspontaneity. Certainly, Mark Twain's letters. just published, make one scan despafringly the horizon for some sign of a plant of similar hardy American growth. To a generation fed up on exotics, this correspondence comes like a breath out of the continents heart, out of a generation that knew not and cared not for the exotics, for Maeter- linck, Wilde, Strindberg, Ibsen and the Russian gloom artists. Twain, these letters prove, lived as he wrote, and wrote as he lived, because he was enjoying himself all the time. When he ceased to enjoy himself in either capacity. as a human being or as an author, he promptly pulled up stakes and went elsewhere.
 From the day when he got his brothers little one-page newspaper published in their native town, Han- nibal, Mo-, into trouble by celebrating local beauty, with poem entitled ITO Mary in H-l,'' through the De- riod when he became involved in a duel in Virginia City because of 8 prank he had played and was forced to make a quick getaway, to the time of his Mediterranean trip, which re. suited in the immortal 'Iinnocent. Abroad" he was always enjoying himself

It appears that the man had not been formally tried and convicted of both either cates that the citizens had moral doubt of his guilt and felt that the starting up of the machinery of the law a needless expense.

A good way to put stop to ths snping along the Mexican border would be to send a half million boys training the line and make clean sweep of the country.
