Fred H. Wheaton, democratic candi-
date for governor, was in the city Sat-
urday morning and met a number of
our citizens, receiving a good deal of
encouragement. AS speaking has been
tabooed Oh account of the Spanish in
fluenza epidemic, Mr. Wheaton is calling
personally on as Eiany as he can before
the campaign closes. It was hoped that
Mr.. Wheaton, who is an excellent
speaker, could deliver an address here,
as there is pronounced desire to hear
him. Mr.. Wheaton states that his
chances are looking up, and that condi,
lions are growing more favorable to his
candidacy each passing day.
F. H. Carpenter, the prominent Min
neapolis lumberman and influential re-
publican leader, has written a pamphlet

enough to make one question the whole
pamphlet. The general primary is no
doubt responsible for some bad things,
but it is immeasurably superior to the
old system. If the people make mis-
takes now, and Of course they do, the
mistakes are their own. The manipu-
lators Of conventions Of old, represent
ing the special interests, put the blame
for their own mistakes on the people,
and many Of those who want to go
back to the old system or notifications
of it, while they may give other reasons,
in reality desire old results. They care
little about the machinery or the means,
and the present system would be en-
tirely satisfactory to them if it pro-
duced the particular results they are
interested in. Some want a change
because they believe in party RESPONSE
bility all along the line, and that is a
fair argument. The trouble is that
parties are only means to an end with
folks who know exactly what they want

Forcing Foe to Yield Uncon-
difion

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 24.-Nothing
but the unconditional surrender Of
Germany ought to be considered, the
United Mine Workers of America said
in telegram to President Wilson,
made public here. The message was
signed by William Green, secretary

The message said that the Germany
now denying guilt of cruelty and wan
ton destruction is the same Germany
which destroyed hospital ships, and, in
bombing raids on London and Paris,
killed innocent women and children.

Washington, Oct. 24.-While Presi-

the Teutcn peace moves, additional
proof of German atrocities i'm territory

reached here
One OF these was tale of horror
dispatched from the British front tell
ing how the Germans drove civilians

This and other outrages reported are
regarded here as giving the lie to the

to prevent them and punish those,

AMERICAN TO DECIDE

What abow our military policy after
the war?
When the war ends, Germany's auto
cratic militarism will be crushed, or
il will not be crushed. The Allies say
it will be crushed for when peace
comes it must be an enduring peace
not a vacation or a jumping off place
where Germany can prepare for the
next war.
A German officer captured at YER
dun a short time ago said I'VE will
win. Not what we wanted but enough
for this time" When questioned as to
the this time" he said, "Yes. We will
not get all we want in this war. But
in the next war we will take all.
The cost has been too great to
stop fighting before the possibility of
a next war" is forever destroyed.
The condition of Germany at the end
of this war must decide our future
military policy. If Prussianism is not
crushed no country can safely lay
down its arms. Our present army
must be maintained and new armies
kept in training until the Allies know
there is no further danger from i'm
perialistic wrongs.
If we know that Germany is crushed
and that the world is safe for De-
mocracy," and we must know that
when peace is declared, we will not
need the army we now have, includ-
ing those in training camps.
If when peace is declared the Allies
feel that Germany is holding out
card, the United States as we'll as the
other allied countries must keep pre-
pared and be on the alert.
We have universal military train
ing now and we must have it until
the war is won. Upon the condition of
friend and foe at that time and upon
the terms of the peace agreement must
be based our future military policy.
We cannot trust our future military
policy to the pacifist, nor to the mill
tarist, to the idealist or theorist;
Americanism must decide.

The Commercial Club could spend
its funds in no better cause than in
the purchase of a suitable lot, and

Hitch Racks For Farmers.

Editor the Missourian: Columbia is
one of the most progressive cities in
Missouri. 1t has paved its streets,
built up an excellent system of water
works and electric lights and estab-
lished a good fire department. 1t has
splendid schools, wide-awake mer-
chants. and happy, prosperous people,
but it has neglected in one way to care
for the people upon whom most of
its prosperity depends. 1t has neglect
ed to establish a hitch-yard for the
farmers.
Aside from being an educational
city, Columbia is essentially a farm
community center. 1t is surrounded by
fine farms, upon which live hundreds
of people who visit here daily and
who purchase all of their supplies
from Columbia merchants. Most of
these farmers drive horses, but when
they arrive in Columbia they have no
place to hitch. They must either place

ANY BONES, BOTTLES, RAGSl

The Red Cross workers need more
yarn. They could go out and say to
the men, I'VE have been working hard
and have used all our yarn. You
haven't done much for the Red Cross.
Go buy us some yarn"
But the Red Cross workers are
not going to ask for a cash contribu-
ton; they are going to hold an auc-
ton and use the proceeds for buying
yarn. If you have more to eat than
you need, if you have clothes you do
not use, if you have anything that you
can spare and which may be of use
to someone else give it to the Red
Cross. Boy scouts will call for your
contribution if you will advise the
Red Cross workers what you have to
give.
If you have any bones, bottles, rags
or iron, give it to the Red Cross as
they can sell it. The junk on your
place alone may not bring much but
if everyone gives the little that they
can gather the total will be great
and your yard will look better.
