General A. r. Benson chairman OF the Republican
State Committee has called meeting Of that committee
to be held in Dover April iO for the purpose Of seeing

was called the instance Of Republicans and Independent
Republicans who express themselves being in favor OF
Am adjustment OF differences that viii result in Rcpub-

We hope such an adjustment can be made and that

II there is TO be harmony it must be based upon The
cardinal principles Of majority rule and the binding
cec OF she party primary and the party caucus. There
can be no effective harmony that does not with
those three principles.
Most the troubles Of the Republican party in Della

and boiling regularly and regularly constituted

We do not know exactly what those who have been
instrumental in bringing about the harmony meeting
have in mind solvent for the partys troubles, but
we do know that If they ignore The three principles
alluded above they may well save both their time
and their carfare There be no harmony long as

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds OF Men in
Americas Fighting Service

Living I'D to every tradition of the
United States navy for courage and
GOODNESS in time of peril, the officers
and men of the destroyer Jacob Jones
gave a splendid account of themselves
when this vessel was torpedoed and
sunk by a German submarine. Com
mander David Worth Bagley, who had
command of the ship, gives unstinted
praise to all his ShipmateS in the re-
port af the sinking. The commanding
officer and Lieut.. Norman Scott were
in the chart house when the warning
bell sounded at the sighting of tor
pedo. There was no chance to steer
clea1 OF the torpedo, and it struck
abreast fuel tank, blowing off a por-
ton of the deck and flooding three
compartments. The ship sank rapidly.
However, in this brief time, with death
imminent at every moment, Lieutenant
Scott turned off the steam from the
fireroom to the engine room, then
coming on deck fired the signal guns.
in person, and accomplished heroic
service in assisting the men, getting
boats and RATS into the water and
floating the splinter mats from the
bridge to the sea. The young lieuten-
ants work with the crew is especially
commended. Lieutenant Scott was
born in Indianapolis on August 10,
1889, and entered the naval academy
as a midshipman from Indiana in
1906. He was appointed an ensign in
1912; -xas promoted to lieutenant
(junior grade) in 1915, and in July,
1917. was temporarily appointed a
lieutenant. His father is Robert F.
Scott, living at ia East Main street.

The most vital problem before the
United States today. says Henry Clews
in his Financial Review. is the main
tenance of national credit, without
which the war cannot be Won Our
resources are ample; and wise finan-
ciering will utilize them unerringly to
Victory. The first step in this direc-
tion is to keep business as active and
as profitable, within reason. as posi-
bic. If thru ill-advised legislation,
excessive taxation or government in
reference. prosperity be unduly
checked, the principal sources OF in
come and taxation will be dried up
and the country will drift into a seri-
Gus crisis. Fortunately such danger is
clearly foreseen, and the administra-
ton has some of the ablest and most
patriotic financiers of the country at
its command.

WHY NOT KANSAS?

The state of Oregon is reported to
have either in progress or under con-
tract SLOT, 900 worth of work on the
Pacific highway, which, when the
work is completed, will make available
for motor trucI, traffic the entire dis
lance of 4S6 miles of the Pacific high
way in that state-from the Columbia
river to the Oregon-California boun-
diary line-including the east side and
the west side sections.
Furthermore, on the Columbia river
highway an expenditure of $1,5O0,00O
provided for in 1918 is to make that
thorofare Spassable for truck traffic
from the Pacific seaboard to the east
ern boundary of the state, distance
of more than 800 miles.
All of which, according to the Port
land Oregonian. includes only a part
of the hard surfacing contemplated"
as large sections of both highways
will be macada mized.'
The Oregonian explains that 'the
post road money to be spent east OF
the Cascade range is to make available
for travel something like ninety miles
of the John Day highway" There is
also included iii the 1918 program of
the Oregon state highway commission
the opening of several other subsidiary
and feeder highway projects.
If oregon. which is only one of the
intensive good-roads states of the west.
finds it profitable to expend vast sums
of money for highway system i'm
provements. the same policy would
pay equally as well in any other state.
Why can not Kansas follow the ex-
ample of Oregon, and do something
with its wealth of road-building re-
sources. instead of letting the weeks
arc the months and the years glide
by with scarcely shovel being stuck
into the ground-with nothing accom-
plished, while the money with which
to build roads is lying idle in the fed
eral and the state treasures.

TRAVELETTE
BANGKOK,
BY NIKSAH.

Bangkok is the home of the famous
white elephants of Siam. Incidentally,
it is also the home of the ruler of that
country. The splendor and luxury of
the royal palace and harem is little
greater than that of the buildings de-
voted to the care of the sacred beasts.
They have their jeweled trappings,
their individual houses their numer-
Gus obSequious attendants, who APP
proach them with reverence and many
salaams. But they are grandly in
different to all this pomp.
The interesting fact about the white
elephant is that he is not white. He
is yellow. brown or gray. But some
where about him is a white spot, or
several of them, and therefore in the
eyes of the Siamese the elephant is
white. A real white elephant would
be as much in the way as the pro-
verbal white elephant" 1t would
be entirely too sacred for everyday
use.
A British circus coming to Bangkok
once advertised as an added attrac-
ton trained elephant, pure white.
The natives flocked to see this phe-
nomenon, prepared to reverence. The
animal produced by the circus man
agement was an excellent example of
what a white elephant should look
like, but unfortunately, its wilderness
was camouflage, accomplished by a
little white chalk. The chalk rubbed
off leaving gray patches distinct be-
low it. The disgust of the natives was
so great as to discourage the manage
ment from repeating that number of
the program, or even from returning
to the city in the near future.
SiameSe history contains records of
elephants truly white adjoining the
kingdom. but for some generations
Siam knows the white elephant only
tho the tales of its fathers and thru
its fertile lima gination.
