stick would have instructed a half,
million flyers. Unfortunately Mr..
Wilson, Secretary Baker and other
departments of the government were
not possessed Of this gift. They had
to get the supplies through the natur-
al channel-and they got them. We
do not know how many airplanes have
been shipped to France. We doubt if
anyone knows except those in charge
of the work, as that is war secret.
However, we do know that there are
several schools where great numbers
of machines are being used in in
structing fiiers and these did not grow
on bushes. They have been produced
since the war, as have the instructors
and attendants. We have read that

structors, etc., so airplane service is
big thing even in its early stage, and
the remarkable thing is that there are
as many machines in use as there are,
so it will be seen very clearly that the
innocent little criticism stating that
"an air-plane had at last been shipped
to France" becomes balloon Of mis-
information, calculated to prejudice
the minds of the people and lead them
to believe that everyone connected
with the running Of the war is sitting
around having good time and do
ing nothing.
We are opposed to any law against
criticism of public officials, but we
strongly favor law that will make
| it felony to print an article in any
paper that will distort facts and leave
false impression.
Honest men invite honest criticism,
but where such criticism is founded
on prejudice and written by ignor-
ant or designing persons it is the duty
of the people to see that it is sup
pressed.

HONEST CRITICISM VS..
MISREPRESENTATION

In the United States at the present
time there are several classes of news
papers. There are the partisan pa
pers, Democratic, Republican and So
ciahstic. The latter can be subdivid-
ed into two classes-radical and lib
eral. There is another class, namely
the Independent papers, which may
be divided into several classes-cor-
poration- controlled, radical, liberal,
bone-heads, /. W. w., ETC..
Through these papers the public is

through editorials.
On the matter of the conduct of
the war there are few papers that can
anywhere get near together. This
is resulting in unrest and dissatisfac-
ten on the part of the people at a
time when it should not exist.
AS a rule the Democratic papers
are supporting the Wilson policy, his
administration and his efforts in the
conduct of the war. Occasionally one
or two will get off the track, but this
is an exception.
AS another rule the Republican pa
pers are dissatisfied with everything
that is done by the government. Err
rors are pointed out in big headlines
and bigger editorials. Appointees Of
the President are assailed and charg-
ed with everything from ..incompe-
tence to rank graft.
The Socialist papers are likewise
taking an interest in the affairs OF
the Nation. Some of them are
strongly back. of the Administration,
while the radicals are just as strongly
negative.
The Independent papers as class
are back of the administration, but a
few of them, like the Kansas City
Star, which always manages to get on
the wrong side of every question
where the interests of the people is
concerned, are adverse.
Bearing this in mind how can we
hope for united country to meet the
assault of the German armies?
why is it necessary to have par
tisan discussion in time of war?
When the Liberty Bond campaign
is made Democrats and Republicans
work side by side by selling bonds;
newspapers Of both parties contribute
space to matters in connection with
winning the warmly, then, is it
necessary to wage personal partisan
wars, and cause the people OF the
country to be divided in opinion.
The Democrat believes in the right
of criticism, if the criticism is con-
structive. We do not favor the kind OF
criticism that poisons the mind OF the
people; criticism that is misrepresent-
alton; that will hamper the work OF
winning the war.
Much of the criticism directed at
the administration is misrepresenta-
ton. In a paper few days ago we
read that the United States had al
last shipped one airplane to France
leaving the impression that after hav
ing been in the war a whole year onl!
one air-plane had been manufactured

onds. Several short flights were then
made, and late in the day Wilbur
Wright, with Furness, his mechanician,
rose in the air to beat even the eight
mile record. At the height of twenty
feet he started up the beach in north
easterly direction, and in the face OF
twenty mile-an-hour wind. In chron-
icing this flight one of the reporters
wrote:
Machine Sailed Beautifully.
'The machine sailed along serenely
under the bright blue sky like a thing
endowed with life. Behind her fioated
a flock of gulls and crows that seemed
at once amazed and jealous of this
new thing of the air. Reaching the
hills that jut out on the. beach. the
cruiser Of the air proudly lifted her
nose and, kiting upward, passed easily
over the thirty-foot summit. she
then careened on down the beach
until the three-mile limit was reached,
when, with another twist of the lever
she described a graceful turn and be-

she made the return, appearing ana

across the sand dunes. The picture
was astounding and picturesque at
once. There was not q motion v1sl-
bic when she passed the observation
point of the correspondents, and once
more she lifted up and passed over the
hill and out of sight. 1t was the last
vision the correspondents had of the
graceful airship. Down the home
stretch between the sea and the sand
hill, something gave way. The watch
ers heard a whirring Of the machine
and then all was silent. While we
waited for her to reappear word was
brought that the ship had been
wrecked. A wrong lever had been
pulled, and her nose, instead of elevat-.
ing, had turned down, and she had
Owed into the sand. A guy wire cut
Wright on the nose, but he escaped
other injury"

Bread From Cotton Seed;
Provides Salad Dressing
and a Butter Substitute.

The cotton plant,.upon which the
world depends SO largely for clothing,
is rapidly increasing in Importance
as food producer. Oil from the cot
ton seed, formerly almost monopolized
by makers of high grade soap, now
appears upon the table in the form of
palatable salad dressing and also as
lard and butter substitutes. More re-
Gently the seed has been made to yield
a flour from which bread pleasing to
the taste and as. nourishing as lean
beefsteak is baked. A bakery In a
Southern city is selling 400 loaves Of
it week.
The annual value of cotton seed
products is placed at $250,000,000, one
half the output being used for food.
Farmers are now receiving $40 to $50
a ton for the seed, as compared to
Sc or 81 a quarter of a century ago.
The yearly crop is about 100000
tons, great asset to the consumer
at this time of extreme high prices
for pure lard and dairy products.

Few Senators Present to
Hear the Opening Prayer

Some time ago, when the archbishop
of York, primate of England, was in
Washington he prayed at the opening
of a session Of the senate. Most OF
the senators were present. They all
listened devoutIy and attentively and
when the archbishop wound up with
the Lords prayer they joined in with
him. There is nothing very extraor-
binary or striking about this incident
until it is considered in connection
with the attendance of the senators
on ordinary occasions when prayer is
offered in the senate chamber. Often
there are only a handful of senators
and a few youthful pages present. On
one occasion only one senator and a
few pages were on hand when the
opening invocation was delivered

City Boys Keener of Ear
Than Are Country Fellows

English army doctors, finding city
boys keener of ear than country boys,
adopt the theory that the quietude of
rural districts explains the difference,
says the New York World. Urban
noises, they argue, keep the aural
nerves in state constantly respon-
sive. Looking across seas, these sa-
wants may discover that the keenest
human ear ever known, those of the
Indians and the frontiersmen, have
been developed in the sflences of
American forests and prairies. 1t
seems probable that hearing, like
many another faculty, depends for it's
active strength upon the exercise due
to necessity. 1t is need, rather than
noise, which keeps a listeners nerves
on the alert.
