70 show that all the patriotism Of the country Is bound up IN the
Grand old party, and not making much headway IN the north
west in their attempt to place the brand Of ~dlsloyalty upon the
farmers, Chairman Hays and his advisors are up a stump,
speaking in the vernacular.
1t seems that only twenty-six democrats voted for the suf-
frage amendment as against twentyseven republicans. One
more republican having voted for the measure than democrats,
the party managers grab for the lone majority of one like a
drowning man grasps a straw, and now they are gong to show
Che world, the flesh and the devil that if the grand old party had
been in power the women would have been as good as elected
to citizenship.
In the cxuberance of their discovery, it doesn't matter that
Senator Lodge, formally chosen as the party leader in the sen
ate, recorded his vote against the women-lt IS enough for the
party management to know that twenty-seven republicans voted
m the affirmative while only the beggardly number of twenty
SIX democrats are so registered on the official roll call!
Chairman Hays is to be congratulated. He has really found
something at last on which to drape a ray of hope.

TIE MIXWELL DECEPTION.

1t is characteristic Of the prohteers to resort to camou-
lage. 1t is a part and parcel Of the means which they employ
to maintain their grasp upon the commerce OF the country.
Chairman King Of the state republican committee, having
received his cue from the proiteers, is resorlng to camouf1age
IN billing the Grew Mr.. Maxwell for his speaking tour in this
state. The words, Joint Debate, occupy a conspicuous place
on the posters advertising Mr.. Maxwell's addresses. Beneath
these words the names of Maxwell and Townley appear. Taken
together, the posters seem to say that a joint debate Will take
place between Townley and Maxwell.
In small type it is explained that Mr.. Maxwell 'chal
lenges' Mr.. Townley to d joint debate, as if the president of
he National Nonpartisan League would dignity the Maxwell
campaign by accommodating himself to the Maxwell tour under
he direction Of the chairman Of the republican state committee.
Mr.. Townley could scarcely be expected to spend all his

II is but a species of deception which the political press and
years and especially so since the organized farmers Of the
manipulators.
1t was never intended that there should be a joint debate.
t was so advertised to deceive in the hope Of drawing a crowd
If farmers to the Maxwell meetings.
So far as the Daily News is able to learn, Mr.. Maxwell is
making no 1}erceptihle impression upon tie farmers, to ALLEVIATE

Unless Mr.. MaXwelPs employers can draw crowds for him

If RIGHT, GO 4HEAD.

Some one has suggested, in effect, that if one is sure he is
light he should so ahead.
That's what the farmers Of South Dakota propose to do ir
the present campaign. They have the assurance within them
selves that they are on the right track for the r~emedying Of
tleast a part Of the evils that have crept into our marketing

All the assaults that the profteers and the newspaper rep
resentatives of Special Privilege can bring to bear upon the
lead Of the farmers organization will not distract the farm
eIs from their purpose. They know what they want and they
nink they know how to get it. They are not going to be STAN
oededby the political press, nor by an aggregation of business
men, such as drove the president of INSTRUMENTATION out of

the business men than the business Of the business men can.

If the business men are SO foolish as to think otherwise,
all they need to do to have a de1nenstrationpf their dependence
upon the farmers is to emulate the example OF the foolish men

Naval Lieutenant Wins Honor.

Although officers in the military
forces Of this country are not allowed
to accept decorations or gifts from for
eign governments, the British admiral
ty has just conferred honors upon a
young American officer. To Lieut..
Frank Loftin, U. s. N, on duty on an
American destroyer operating In the
war zone, has been given the distin-
guished service cross. The navy de-
partment announces this recommen-
dation made through the British am

ships, when general quarters was
sounded as a torpedo was sighted COM

CARPET BAG AGAIN IN VOGUE
Scarcity of Leather Brings Back An.
cient Satchel, Says Chicago
Merchant.

New York-The high cost and short
age of leather will be responsible for
revival of the old-fashioned carpet
bag, according to J. N. Daley, leath-
er merchant of Chicago.
Mr.. Daley declares that the carpet
bag already is appearing in some Of
the western cities he has just visited.
They are proving popular, and he ex-
poets to see them in the East shortly.

ing else left but the old carpet bag
and it may prove just as serviceable
as the more modern equipment"

RECALLING Early KIondike.

Just twenty years ago at this time,
Joaquin Miller, being true prospec-
tor, miner, and all around adventurer,
as well as a poet of nature, joined
thousands Of others on the long trail
to the Klondike, and wrote back that,
although his party was supposed to be
one of the first to start, on its arrival
5000 claims had already been record
ed. 1t has always been a mystery how
news Of the discovery of gold in the re-
hottest regions is carried broadcast
over the face Of the earth. Where
Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop
ulous towns and camps, and was so
disappointed by the discovery and that
he at once took the long trail back.
The great majority of those whom he
left behind returned more leisurely, but
they are nearly all back now.-Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

Five Hundred Little Children,
Refugees From Belgium,
Tramp Into Allied Village.
LED BY POlLU TRUMPETERS
Worn by Hunger, Tired, All Sing Ma
tlonaI Anthem-Bic Celebration at
Evian for Them-GIad to
Escape Germans.

Observation-Disclosures hundred lit
tie children, a trifle tired-looking, per-
haps a little hysterical because worn
by the strain of three days on the train,
tramped joyously up the street, their
wooden sabots pattering triumphant
tattoo on the hard pavement. skipping,
some of them, to the blare OF the
trumpeters who led the way, and cry
ing "Vive la France" at every welcom-
ing tri-color. They rushed up by doz-
ems to shake hands with anyone who
was on the street to see them at five
o'clock in the morning.
Each of them was dressed in his or
her Sunday best, and toting home
made pack. All the time the six old
ex-Poilus footed away on their trum-
pets as they led the bobbetty process
sion. 1t reminded one of the Pied Pi-
per who piped strange tunes in lame
lin and led away all the village chill
dren when their elders refused to pay
him for Kidding the town of its rats.
These trumpeters were leading Bel
gian children to warm meal at
Evian. Five hundred children, who
had left their mothers and fathers in
the land where food is scarce, were
on their way to big refuge in the cid
Chartreuse monastery at LIE Chandler.
There the Belgian government and the

where the rations are more liberal.

Benefit Of Art Education.

A glimpse at the development or
,rade in European countries, in which
Industrial art has played such an inn
portant role, is full of suggestion to us.
When Germany discovered at the Paris
exposition in 1873 how crude and in
artistic her exhibits were, her greatest
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases, began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results of these activities we wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held in all our large cities a
few years ago. BY means of intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes Of the world were changed in
favor Of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, in printing
materials from England, and in dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England In a similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR.
That country's Water Power is So Lit
tie Used Is a Reflection on Citi-
zens' intelligence.

In the early days Of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, Fl. Fl. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many Of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric MOTOR
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to 1t.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy Of 100000 tons, or $780,
100000 tons each year. At low aver-
age Of present prices this waste repre-
sents $2,OO0,O00000 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
two-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present MOI
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers In Switzerland amounting to $780,
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
Of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
to private enterprise, which naturally
is reluctant to invest vast sums under
franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government Will
emerge from this war, 1t will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified in appropriating the money
necessary to make this development.
1t would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number OF
years, that franchise of say 80 years
should be granted, with privilege OF
taking over the properties at the end
of that time on some basis Of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such basis development would begin
at once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value Of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.
