Lancaster. Ky, May I6. 1918

When President Wilson asked
the Congress to declare a state OF
war with Germany, with the excep-
ton Of a very few exceptions the
response was immediate and empha-
tic. Party lines disappeared as il
by magic and all were Americans
first, last and all the time. And
since that date the same state of CO.
hesion has continued, Democrats,
Republicans, Prohibitionists d
Progressives vieing in their loyalty
to the Administration, until from the
proceedings in the two houses of
Congress one would be at a loss to
tell who were Democrats and who
were not.
This unanimity of action eviden-
ced fine spirit Of loyalty and aug
urs well for the Administration S
backing for the time ahead of us.
But next fall the general elections
are coming on, and many members
will be compelled to contest before
the people for their seats in that
body.
There is now coming 20 be a large
sentiment throughout the country
that in the coming elections we as a
people consent to drop for a time
our propensity for politics and re-
turn these same men to the national
capital on their records. 1t is
pointed out that France has proro-
gued her elections and continues in
harness the men who have been
bearing the brunt of the war legis-
lation. This is done from various
reasons, principal Of which is that
there may be no suspicion of dis
satisfaction with her legislators that
might give encouragement to the
enemy.
1t will certainly detract from the
efficiency of the Congress if any
large number of its members are
forced to make a fight for their pos
itions. 1t would be a graceful act
Of the American people if in the
coming election each man who has
stood staunchly at his post and up
held the honor of his country, were
to be given his election again rs a
mark of confidence rendered him by
his constituents. Whether he be of
one party or the other, for his cleo
tion 20 be conceded by the opposite
party would constitute one of the
finest displays Of loyalty and fidelity
imaginable. II would say to our
enemies that our representatives
have faithfully voiced our senti-
ments in their every act, and that
we have implicit confidence in their

The bare fact that President VIII
son has asked Congress for authority
to raise an army of four millions Of
men, should strike some people in
this country with a severe jolt. "Oh,
it will soon be over" or II hope it
will soon end, has been the burden
of the song of the would-be Stacker.
With it he attempts to get by in his
pitiful evasion Of the calls of his
government for the unstintcd sup
port Of loyal son. President Wilson
would never call for such an army
had he the least hope that the end
was in sight. We have been assured
by the Allied leaders that our
strength must be thrown into the
fray before victory can even be hop
ed for And with the calling OF this
immense force, the companion call
will 20 out for those left at home to
sustain these armies in the field.

sun BROTHERS SHOWS
IN LANCASTER NEXT Week.

Now on what is termed their
twenty-hfth Jubilee Year and Tour.
the Sun Brothers Worlds Progress
sive Shows are coming back TO Lam
caster and will give two perform
anccs Friday May cath
II is hardly necessary to state
here that this tented show is alright,
for the reason that our citizens
know, that it is all RICH; and besides
]; Is simon pure, all clean and res
pectable
The advance printing matter stat
es that the programme for presenta-
ton is absolutely all new for this
season, not one old feature being
retained. The success Of this noted
tented aggregation has been rcaliz-
ed by presenting the American pc1-
pie a tented show entirely free from
every form Of graft; by keeping
every promise made in the matter
Of exhibitions, and by treating
those who visit these exhibitions
with the utmost courtesy and res
pect. II is this manner Of treat
ment which often causes one to feel
more guest than patron when he
visits the Sun Brothers Shows.
Many Of their rival showmen who
countenanced the old time confd-
ence man, the she'll worker, the for
tune teller, the short changer and
other forms Of graft, made the as
sertion, that the show could not live
without adjunets Of that Kind, and
also sneeringly referred TO the Sun
Brothers Shows rs that Sunday
School Show"
Ever since its inception twenty
five years ago, the Sun Brothers
have been deadly foes to anything
of a demoralizing character and
have kept their shows intact and
free from it, and today il is the only
show of its size in America that can
successfully repeat" each season

ing people have confidence in the
show, because Of the new and origl-
nal performances each succeeding

courtesy and fair treatment given
to all who visit their shows or do
business with them.
At noon-time preceding the after
noon performance, number Of

will be presented to the public. all

LOYALTY and integrity.

loyalty and integrity.
Our country is facing a stupen-
dous task and needs to come to this
work united in sentiment and deter
mination. No such disturbing fac
tors as partisan politics should be
permitted to interfere with our I'M
ity Of action or take from our full
efficiency. During the past year
we have almost lost sight of politics,
and it might be the best thing we
could do if we continue blind to its
lure.
II wouldn't be a bad idea to put
every man on his war record and let
him stand or fall by it.

Philadelphia Dece mber 15.-Judge Julian w. Mack of Chicago was today elected president of the first American Jewish congress to be held on the American continent, a congress that was characterized by one of the speak CTS as one of the most momentous epochs in Jewish life.p

 The congress meets at this time to. impress upon the peace conference in, France the necessity of granting tnese; rights Ito the end that no govern ment to be created, shall have laws for. its subjects differing on religious, civil or political discrimina tions."

WILSON PROBABLY
 WILL VISIT POPE
Cannot Go to Italy Before Christmas, as King En-
 manuel Is in Paris

Paris, December 15.-While President Wilson has not announced positively that he will visit Pope Benedict, it now seems
 probable that he will do so. It is known here that the pope is anxious to receive the President and the vatican officials have announced that the visit may be made without danger of embar- rassment because of the differences be- tween the vatican and the quirinal
 It IS likely that if President Wilson goes to Rome he will visit the quirinat palace as the guest of King Victor Elm manuel. Afterward he will visit the American embassy, where he will be met by the rector and students of the Ameri- can ecclesiastical college The rector will convey to the President Pope Bene- diets desire to sec him.
 If President Wilson goes to the yati- can he will also call upon Cardinal Cas- parri papal secretary of state, who will return the call upon the President at the embassy on behalf of the pope, who cannot by precedent leave the vatican This was the programme followed when King Edward VII visited the King and the pope.
 If the President goes to Rome it prob ably will be after Christmas as King Victor Emmanuel vii be in Paris until December 23.

 There is no such thing as trench rent" the statement said, and damages done to private property in the rear of the operating forces have always been indemnified by the government to tho owners of the property damaged. This applies equally to the American. British and French. in the regions where can comments and naneuvers are likely to harm fields. crops, barns houses, and the like. but. of course. this does not apply to the firing zone"
