In 1916 President Wilson car
ried Kansas City by 1882 major
ity, and a few days ago the
Democrats elected their ticket in
that city by 7,341. These figures
taken with the returns from
Wisconsin and other places indi-
cate that Republican claims of
sweeping the country this Fall
is but another case of whistling
to keep up their courage. And
of course the result in this State
is a foregone conclusion. The
people have long memories and
have not forgotten the domination
and rule of the Radicals when
they were in power.

A young lady in a town in a
nearby county recently played a
joke on her mother, and this is
how it happened: She accidently
found a love letter that her father
had written to her mother in
their halcyon days of courtship.
She read the letter to her mother
substituting her own name and
that Of her lover. The mother
raved with anger. and stamped
her foot in disgust, forbidding
her daughter to have anything to
do with a man who could write
such nonsensical stuff to a girl.
She gave the letter toh her mother
to read and the home suddenly
became so quiet that she could
hear the snow flakes falling in
the back yard.

What Russia Has Lost.

UNDER the terms Of the peace
treaty which the Germans be.
guiled the Russians into signing
several weeks ago, Russia has
lost 10000 square kilometres Of
territory with 100000 inhabi-
tants, or 81 per cent of the entire
population of the country. Under
fair promises of peace with no
annexations, Germany has rob.
bed Russia of vast stores, and
has again demonstrated the per-
fidy and unreliableness of the
Huns.
What Germany has done to
Belgium and now Russia, she
will do to every people she con-
quers; the devastation that has
been wrought upon Belgium and
occupied Russia will be wrought
upon America if perchance she
finally defeats the French and
British armies. This is a time
for girding up of spirits and
quiet resolve. We at home must
see to it that the nests of. ser
penis is cleaned. The weaklings
and pacifists at home must be
eliminated. We at home must
be on guard to support our boys
at the front.
But back to Russia's losses:
One-third of her total mileage
of railways, amounting to 81, $50
kilometres Q3,35O miles)
Seventy-three per cent of the
total iron production.
Eighty-nine per cent of the to-
tai coal production.
Two hundred and sixty-eight
sugar reineries, 918 textile fact
cries, 574 breweries, 1873 tobacco
factories, 1855 distilleries, pa
chemical factories, 615 paper
mills, 1913 machine factories.
The territories which now be-
come German formerly brought
in annual revenue amounting to
245, 238 rubles and had 1900 say.

PLANT seeds and grow bullets.
Impossible, you say? Not at all.
The great need of the allied for
ces on the front today is ample
supplies of food. The need of
the need of the allied nations is
food. Without it the war would
prove a failure, it matter not how
many bullets we mold and send
across. Food and food is the cry
and with it we will make eff.
fectlve the bullets.

In an editorial in the Kansas
City Star Col. Roosevelt thanking
heaven that American soldiers
are in the fight at last, says: :
ANY man in the United States
who at this time directly oruin-
directly expresses approval of or
sympathy with Germany in, this
war; should be arrested and
either shot, hung, or imprisoned
for life, according to the gravity
of his offense. ~
Thank heaven that our sons
and brothers are now to stand at
Armageddon. Thank heaven
that American soldiers are now
in the fight in the great battle
against the bestial foe to America
and of mankind. Words count
for little at this time-for moth
ing whatever except in so far as
they are of help to the men of
deeds who are at the front"
To all of which we say, Amen,
Amen.

The desperate German drive
on the western front had one eff.
feet that will not give any salts
faction to Germany. It has re-
suited in the United States speed
ing up preparation, and troops
are to be rushed to France as
fast as the combined transporta-
ton facilities of both the United
States and Great Britain can put
them across. AS they arrive on
the other side they will be absor-
bed in the armies of the Allies,
and what they lack in training
will be rubbed into them in short
order. This will prove of benefit
to the troops themselves as well
as materially strengthening the
allied front. With the help of
Great Britain we should be able
to make our power felt at the
front very soon now. And surely
there is need of the help our
troops can give. America will
watch with feverish interest the
transporting of our troops, and
hail the day when we shall have
sent enough to turn the tide of
battle into an allied victory.

Our readers will pardon us

OUR readers will pardon us if
we let a. brother editor give his
opinion of a stingy man. We are
glad there are none such in our
town, but all other towns have
them. Our brother editor says
that if there is anything on earth
that gives him a longing for
eternal rest and deep, damp soil
tude it is a man who comes to a
town or county, builds up a big
paying business, grows rich and
then squats down on the gold like
a hen on a door knob and is too
stingy even to let the gravel grind
his own gizzard. A real, genuine
l8-karet, stingy, selfish man can't
be honest, and if he ever gets to
heaven and has wings, he folds
them up and walks for fear he
will rufle a plume or lose a tail
feather. The kind of men who
build upa town and county, enjoy
life and make the best citizens,
are the enterprising, energetic
and liberal men, who believe in
living and letting others live, and
who do not, when they get a
dollar, squeeze it till the goddess
of Liberty feels like she was in a
VIE. Such squeezing is what
causes hard times and stops the
circulation of the American eagle.
lift were not for our broadgauged
enterprising men it would be
impossible to build up a prosper
Gus city.
