You don't care in what attitude you

This army is going to let you get a

Roosevelt Popular in France.
That's the philosophy of the British
army. and it won't be long until some
well defined philosophy, or public
op among our men. In fact, some
things are already developing. The
boys are not thinking or caring much
about partisan politics. They're not
caring picayune about the dear old
democratic party or the G. o. P. as
parties, but they are thinking of indi.
xySI o1c In, tote ylyha h a
public is OF one mind, men become the
issue. Just now our boys over here
are talking more about Roosevelt and
Pershing and President Wilson than
any others. Roosevelt would probably
be elected president if the election was
today, il the soldier vote in France
determined the matter. However, the
American general who this year and
next year leads our armies, to victory
will be a formidable candidate for the
presidency.
Meanwhile, politicians may as we'll
understand that the old methods of the
hustings will no longer prevail. Old
political machines and old political
hacks will 60 to the discard. There
will be economic and industrial revo.
lutions-not along socialistic lines, for
this war spells the death of socialism.
In the new order Of things the laborer
will get his fair wage and the capital
list his fair profit-and neither will get
more. The army of leeches that fare
fat between the producer and consum
err will disappear Public service cor.
porations will serve efficiently at fixed
reasonable profit; else the public will
serve itself. 800
After these brave boys of ours, and
the equally brave men OF free France
and democratic England, have rid the
world of the German oppressor, they
will not stand for industrial oppression
at home.

COAL AND THE NEW SHIPS.

L Topeka Journal: Everywhere the
public is being urged to buy its coal
now for next winters use. The i'm.
portance of following this advice may
be better appreciated when it is re-
membered that new ships are now
being built at a rapid and steadily in
creasing rate Every new ship will
become a consumer of coal and all this
coal must be hauled to the seaboard
by the railroads. The fuel problem
next winter will not be one Of price,
but one Of getting the coal at what
ever cost.

A Noted Visitor
The presence of John D. Rockefeller,
Jr at the camp gave great inspiration
and encouragement to Y. NJ. c. A.
workers. He is acting as volunteer
advisory secretary and his work takes
him to all Of the environments. He
spent two days at Camp Dodge during
which time he addressed the soldiers
at meetings in each Of the eight build
ings. At the meeting in the big audi
torium Gen. Beach presided. He came
here from Omaha where he visited the
military reservation. The soldier
boys gave the great captain of industry
a cordial reception and everybody was
delighted. He proved to be an ordin-
airy human being. He moved among
the men and gave kindly greeting to
all with whom he came in contact. His
addresses were full of good cheer and
his appeal for the exaltation of manly
conduct and christian service made a
wonderful impression upon all who
heard him.
Marriages are all the rage here. 1t
beats all how many girls are willing
to take chances on being hooked up to
a man in khaki whether they have
been acquainted any considerable
length of time or not. The govern
ment proposes to take a hand in the
matter and for this purpose has dele
gated Miss Jessie E. Binford, protec-
tive worker here under the auspices Of
the Young Woman's. Christian associa-
ton, to look after girls who come here
from about every community repre-
scented at the cantonment. She says
that the purpose of the proposed meas
ure Is to put a stop to the i'll advised
and hasty marriages of very young
soldiers with very young girls, in
many cases resulting after an ac-
quaintance of only few days or even
"a few hours" 1t is not the intention
to put stop to the marriages of sol
diers. Miss Binford declares, however,
that hundreds Of weddings have taken
place which should have been forestall-
ed: She further says that mothers of
many OF the girls participating in the
so called i'll advised marriages were
responsible for their daughters acts.

A MAN IN HIS OWN RIGHT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: William How
ard Taft could live and would attract
attention without assistance from his
enemies. The admiration given him
is not the reflection of hate for any
other. No one praises him in the be-
lief that he will be led to make some
personal spite, narrow belief or selfish
purpose the motive of his activity. No
one believes that he will swerve from
patriotism or stoop below the station
Of a gentleman.

McAdoo assures worried New Jersey
commuters that railway rates will be
restored to their old level after the
war. Even the old state rates may be
restored so far as he is concerned,
which would include Nebraske's 2
cent fare. AS an expression OF pres.
ent intention this is all that could be
expected. As a matter of possibility

doing was to pass through the miseries
that accompany all usurpation of nor
NAL human energy and aspiration.
Beauty was being crowded and pushed
and clipped by the rule of machines, by
q machine made life The individual
human character and flavor of things
disappeared in the multiplication table
of mass organization. Existence and
adventure had become kind of cosmic
Cocks tour, perfect schedules in all
variations. The machine, the symbol in.
concrete of physical laws, became the
symbol of every sensitive souls obses-
sion. What more natural than that thev
should have tried to escape it by ex-
pressing 1t in mechanistic symbolism, or
find relief in far-fung Tahitian roman
ticisnl?
Machine talk became artist talk. All
the geometric jargon Cezanne left be-
hind OF the cube, the cone and the
cylinder-and all that he left behind
OF ponderous mass-was picked up for
new use. 1t was physics trying to re-
discover itself in some new form of
beauty. trying to become aware of itself
through the imagination. There was
nothing absolute about it, nothing mys-
teriously interpretative of universal hu-
man longing through all time. 1t was
merely temporary psychosis, arising,
as they would all hate to confess, out of
the kind of reality they were living in.
Now we've come to another place.
Humanity has immediate testimony at
hand to the fact that life can't be tied
down by rules, that it has an inner and
necessltous movement that keeps it going
inevitably, despite all machine subiec-
ton.
Plainly, the proven, inescapable an
archy OF the quality of existence makes
temporary anarchy of the imagination
unnecessary At least, in the light of
all that has been happening these later
days, the rebellion of the artists be-
comes poor and puny thing.
After all, one may suppose there is
something mischievous about time
that forces it's human beings to turn
ASIDE for fear of facing the facts. A
great art has an inner integrity because
