Something to Worry About.

AS if we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One of them, writing in Popu-
lar Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is Of advanced age, and pre-
diets it's finish as the leading figure
in any solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving it's hot cen
ter 1S6,000,000 miles less of room. So
you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space, Something like
the ee-room-apartment couple when
visiting relatives begin their summer
vacation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

"THE PEOPLES WAR"

From Col. ROosevelt's Saratoga
speech: Loyalty to the people of the
United States is the prime need. This
is the peoples war. 1t is not the
Presidents war. 1t is not the war Of
Congress. 1t is the war of the people
OF the United States. Our whole
hearted and undivided loyalty is due
to the country as whole, and to
every public servant, whether Presl-
dent or Senator, executive official or
Congressman, precisely to the degree
i'm which that public servant dislnter-
estedly and efficiently serves the coun-
try. We demand loyalty of this type !;
for it is the only loyalty proper for
Prospecting American freemen.
1.-The events of the last year and a
half have shown the necessity of elect
ing a Republican Congress, to support
the Administration at every point
where it acts vigorously in prosecuting
the war, and to supply its deficiencies
in the prosecution of the war and in
the carrying out of proper world
policy. This country needs a Congress
which will give the Administration
this kind of vigorous support, and yet
will fearlessly supervise and, when
necessary, investigate what is being
done.
''Since the war began the Republi-
cans in Congress have acted in spirit
of the largest patriotism and wholly
without regard to questions Of poll
tics. For the Administration meas
ures designed for efficiently carrying on
the war they have furnished larger
percentage of support than have the
Democrats, and where the Administra-
ton was wrong the bulk of the Repub-
licans have ventured to Withstand it
and have stood by the country, where
as the bulk of the Democrats have
not done so, although there have been
some conspicuous and honorable eN-
ceptions. 1t is only by such conduct
that we can win the war, and secure
the right kind of peace.
THE need in Congress is for loyal
Americans, far-sighted, strOngwilled,
resolute, who shall represent the peo-
pie of this country, and who shall
stand steadfastly by the nation as a
whole"

JUDGE SHELDON'S PLATFORM

In this country today there is for
every individual for every political
party but one supreme duty, and that
is to win the war. I believe that a per-
manent and lasting peace depends up
on a complete victory for the allied
armies.
To win the war it is advisable to
mObolize the entire effective man
power and the whole industrial re-
sources of the country. | favor an
amendment to the CONSUMPTION act so
that it will include all available men
between the ages of twenty-one and
fifty and I believe that the work or
fight regulation should be extended to
the limit.
| favor immediate action on Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation for a
revision of the Revenue laws, and | be-
lieve that there should be absorbed by
taxation for war purposes as large a
proportion of excess profits as is taken
by our ally Great Britain.
1 favor the suspension of all non
essential industries during the war in
order that our entire energies may be
devoted to war purposes. | refer by
.'non-essential' industries particularly
to the liquor traffic and would vote, if
elected to Congress, to forbid the use
of foOdstuffs for the manufacture OF
intoXicants during the war.
/ favor giving to women the right to
vote by Federal enactment
/ believe that commission should
be appointed at once to formulate and
recommend to Congress an after the
war industrial program.
This is no time for partisanshlp or
factionalism. If elected to Congress |
shall support President Wilson in the
same measure as if he were the leader
of my own party, and will use my
utmost endeavOrs to retain for Con-
gress the place it was designed to oc-
cupy by the constitution.
| believe in looking forward and
not backward; that changing cOndl-
lions should be anticipated and met
intelligently; and that the government
should be kept close to the people.

NOTICE TO AUTO DRIVERS

Greater care Should be .shown in

that both head and tail lights are lit.
Cars must not be left alone with
