THE CENSUS GRAB.

While the Census bill was under
discussion in the House, Representa-
tive John G. Cooper Of Ohio, sought
the adoption of an amendment that
would have taken from the Democrats
some, at least, of the enormous
amount of patronage they will exer-
else when that measure is put into
effect. AS it now reads all census
supervisors are to be appointed by
the Secretary of Commerce upon rec
ommendation of the Director of the
Census. OF course that means that
practically all will be Democrats. Mr..
Cooper would have given the Con-
gressmen a voice in making recon-
mendations for appointments in their
own districts. Had his views pre-
vailed Republican districts would
have stood a chance Of having their
inhabitants recorded by Republican
But Mr.. Cooper's amend
ment met with disfavor from the
party in control and was defeated.

commutes Sentences Of Ten colored
Soldiers Sentenced to be Hung.
Thirteen colored soldiers accused
of participation in the riot at Hous-
ton, Tex, Aug. %, 1917, were hung.
Sixteen more were sentenced to be
hung. President Wilson reviewed the
finding and confirmed the sentences of
six but committed to life imprison-
ment ten. :.
In statement attached to the rec
ord, he said:
81 commute the remaining SEN
fences, because believe the lesson of
this lawless riot will have been ade-
quately pointed out by the action al
ready taken and that now directed
and also because I desire the elem
ency here ordered to be a recognition
of the splendid loyalty of the race
to which these soldiers belong and
an inspiration to the people Of that
race to further zeal and service to
the country of which. they are citi-
zens and for the liberties of which
so many of. them are now bravely
bearing arms at the very front of
the great fields of battle"

CAN'T BE TRUSTED,

american wearing apparel is
gaining steadily in Argentina as the
result of the failing European sup
plies" declares the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. "This
Is especially true of hosiery, which
before the war came almost entirely
from Germany" How freely they
now confess the real reason for our
great expansion in sales to Latin
America, and how utterly they de-
MED it few weeks before the 1916
election. Those were the days when
the Democratic National Committee
said our war export trade was due
to Democratic policies, and that the
sale of war goods accounted for but
per cent Of the total. A party
that lied like that in 1916 is pretty
apt to lie again in the Congressional
campaign of 1918. IL

OUR WAR INTENTIONS.

1--WE intend what our forefathers,
che FOUNDERS Of this Republic, in
tended. We in America believe our
participation in this war to be the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
case differs from theirs only in this,
that it is our inestimable privilege to
concert with men out of every nation
what shall make not only the liberties
Of America secure. but the liberties
of every other people as we'll. ..
"There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be tnal. There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision is conceivable.
"The blinded rulers of Prussia
have reused forces they knew little
of-forces which can never be
crushed to earth again; for they
have in their heart an inspiration
and = purpose which are deAthless
and OF the very STUFF Of triumph

need not be taken as an endorsement
Of what Huddleston stands for. 1t
it more likely rebuke to the Presi-
dent for trying to control an cleo
ton. This is still a republican
form of government, with three sep
arate and distinct branches, the most
important of which is the legislative.
The people recognize this. and they
will tolerate no executive dictation
in election Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives. To establish the prece-
dent of defeating a man because he
meets the displeasure of the Presi-
dent would be to make subseryient
tools Of a considerable number of
members Of Congress. This, of
course, the people of the country do
not want done. They want men,
not rubber stamps, in Congress.
Huddleston voted wrong a good
many times, but it is no worse to
be wrong than to be a mere non
entity, a puppet, an echo, rubber
stamp, messenger, or any other
kind of a lackey for somebody else.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September % and
closes October 10. While the amount
has not yet been announced, it is gen.
orally conceded it will be for larger
amount than any of the preceding
loans. The American people, there
fore, are called upon to raise a larger
sum of money in a shorter length of
time than ever before. There is need,
therefore, for prompt action-prompt
and efficient work and prompt and
liberal subscriptions.
We have great inspiration for
great effort. The news from the bat
tie front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patriot
ism but with a great incentive to do
his or her part. There is no sinking,
no shifting of the individual burden,
no selfshness by American soldiers
in France; there should be none here.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
Don't let your Liberty Bonds get
away from you. Hold onto them, even
II you may be tempted to dispose of
them.
In the first place, the government in
tended them for YOU. The Liberty
loans were designed as peoples loans.
In order to finance the war the gov
eminent must have the support of
ALL the people. It was intended that
you keep the bonds and not trade
them or sell them.
Promiscuous selling tends to depre-
ciate their value, and that is what the
German agents here would like to do.
Not only is it your patriotic duty
to retain these bonds, but in doing So
you are laying up something for q
rainy, day. The Liberty loans and the
Was Savings Stamp issues have done
more to encourage thrift in America
than anything ever before attempted.
They have made bondholders out Of
thousands Of people who never in
their lives until now had made an in
vestment. y
Crafty and INSCRIPTIONS individuals
are using every means to entice these
bonds out of the hands of their own
ers. One method Is to offer in ex-

ONLY HALF ADJOURNED.

The Lewisburg (Pa.) Saturday
News very pertinently remarks that
the announcement that politics is
adjourned" has not been accompanied
by the appointment of Republican
to a place in the cabinet, nor the ap-
pointment Of Republicans to fill any
of the Offices Of customs collector,
etc. No, and the administration has
not made full use of the abilities of
such men as Roosevelt and Wood
Nor has it acknowledged it's obliga-
tons to the late Augustus P: Gard
ner, one Of the pioneers of prepared
ness. Perhaps politics is only half
