WILLARD HAS PURCHASED A
 BIG ESTATE

LAWRENCE, Kas., March 26. - Jess Willard, holder of the heavy weighe championship, will henceforth hail from Lawrence, Kas., where he recently purchased what has been termed an estate. According to local description of the property, the land and buildings form one of the show places of the section, consisting of 52 acres and a large residence of colonial type. One of the reasons assigned for the purchase of the place is said to be Willard's desire to send his five chil- dren to the local schools and, later, Lawrence university.
 From these statements it may be inferred that the conqueror of Jack Johnson is looking forward to the day when he will no longer reign as the premier pugilist of the universe, but will occupy a place among the staid business men of the section. Those who know Willard best do not hesitate to affirm that the present holder of the pugilistic crown will make his presence felt in a quiet way. He is without doubt the wealthiest of all the heavyweights, and as he has the busi- ness insight necessary to retain the money he accumulated since his Hava- na victory. it would rot be surprising ie Willard appeared in q new rHte with in the next few years.

DINTY MOORE, ALASKAN
 DIES AT CAMP LEVI

A telegram received at Nenana re- gently brings information that Dinty Moore died at Tacoma from scarlet feve.', according to information re- ceived in Seward.
 Dinty Moore is best remembered g. player on the Tolovana ball ;eala. This winter he responded to the coun- tly's call and mushed out by the way of Broad Pass to enlist. He was a member of the coast artillery at the time of his death and was stationed at Camp Lewis. The many friends of Dinty will be shocked at the raklng cff of one whom they esteemed highly for his manly attributes, but are glH% that he passed away in the serGice of his country.

TO THE GIRL 1 LEFT BEHIND

My darling, when l am far away
 From you somewhere in France, I ask you always to think of me
 And pray that have chance. To leave you, dear, was hard,
 The hardest thing of all; But I'm not a Stacker
 When I hear my Country's call. To be at home with you, little girl,
 It's happiness that is true; But I cannot sec the Germans
 Down the old Red, White and Blue. I would like to oe with you often
 These beautiful, happy days, But now it makes me blue to think
 That we are so far away. Some day in the far future This great conflict will end, And the soldier boy who loves you
 Will come to you again. 'Tis the duty of every girl
 Who is left behind, To always remember the boy she loves
 Who is on the firing line. He did not want to leave you,
 For he is going to risk his life, But he is a true American
 And upholds the Stars and Stripes. l told you when 1 kissed you,
 Those lips of yours so sweet, That I was going to leave you, And again we may never meet. Don't give me up, my darling; If you love me you will wait, And if we do not meet on earth again We will meet at the Golden Gate. Some girls are not so patient,
 Who will not wait so long Will go ard love a Stacker
 When her soldier boy is gone. When he goes to fight his battle
 For his Country and for you, His heart is always resting
 On the girl he thinks is true. When he returns in years to come
 And finds that you were false, His whole life will be ruined
 And his whole happiness lost. Do not be like this, little girl,
 Make your love be true; Greet the boy in khaki
 When he comes marching back to
 you.
 Throw your arms around him;
 Let him kiss your sweet little lips, And he will joyfully tell you
 All about his wonderful trip. l will close this letter;
 You will be inine some day. As I bid you goodbye for this hour
 And goodbye for the day, It IS goodbye for a month;
 He loves you true as ever. Goodbye for year,
 And perhaps goodbye, forever. D., o SolJ;ar Po,, n, Saword

WASHINGTON, March 26. - The Federal Commissioner of Education has advocated the suspension of the law prohibiting married women from teaching school as the best means of replacing large numbers of teachers who are now engaged in war work.

COME DOWN TO EARTH.

New York Evening Telegram: 1t is
well to keep our feet on the ground
and remember that the entrance OF
the United States into the war was
not to democratize the world. nor
pay debt to Lafayette. nor TO pre-
tend any affection for England, nor
because Russia Was our friend in the
civil war, nor by reason of our large
Italian population of decent, law
abiding citizens.
The United States went into the
war at the eleventh hour to save her
self. Had the kaiser overrun Europe
and subdued England we were next
on his list.
America had better look out after
the war. ! shall stand no nonsense
from the Americans said the kaiser
in 1915.
Now, partly through pro-German
propaganda and also for other repre-
hensible reasons, we are invited TO
forget punishm ent of the kaiser and
contemplate long discussions on free
dom of the seas, something never
threatened except by Germany; a
league of nations, dream the scrap
of paper incident disposes of; aboli-
ton of war forever. which will never
be as long as water runs, grass grows
and men covet, and a lot more sub
jects calculated to fill with disgust the
soldiers and sailors who have borne
the heat and burden of battle. and to
afford the temporarily exiled kaiser
infinite amusement.
| 1t should be sharply recalled to
some statesmen that our first duty is
punishment of the kaiser, and that
the slogan of today should be con
to Berlin" to make our conquest GER
tain, and not on to the peace table
to hear ourselves talk.

The Presidents Eaotism.

Knoxville Journal: President Will
son is not pleasing the country by
his action in rushing off to Europe
to dictate the terms of peace. The
American people are jealous of the
dignity of their president and they
dislike to see the president expose
himself to the hateful suggestion that
his trip abroad naturally raises in
the minds of ALL Nor do they sub
scribe to.the idea that President VIII
son is the only man in the nation who
can correctly present the will and
wishes OF the people at the peace
conference. The president is too
eagerly seeking greatness. His as
sumption that he alone can properly
represent the nation is a revelation
of egotism that is rare, even among
the great, and is only eQualed by his
refusal to surrender the powers of
chief executive during his absence
from the country.

WHO is HENRY WHITE?

Cedar Rapids Republican: the
president found a republican VINO hhu

promptly put him ON his peace com
mission, Henry White was known Id
yorably at one time, but he was not
distinguished in any way, althoush
he was in the diplomatic game AL
drew D. White. who died recently, was
the big man of that name. The Iacts
must be plain to all. The president ula
not want q man OF ranking fame or IN
fluence on the commission with MIN,
He always prefers men like MI House
and Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Daniels, all o.
whom are men of subseryient minds.
Mr.. Wilson wants to be Hamlet IN the
play and he does not want any compe'
titors. He could not avoid putting al
least one republican on the commlss-
ion, although he probably hated TO Dc
that mucf-.or did he not request tha'
the people should elect none but dem
ocrats to congress? and so he pickeo
out man who will not cut much fig
IRE. A man like Elihu Root, or VIII
liam Howard Taft, or even Charles u
| Hughes, who put the best interpreta
ton possible on the airplane scandals
was not wanted on that commission.
But republicans will not complain
mot at all. They will take their medl
/ cine like men. 1t is, perhaps, just al
well that they are not represented by
amy outstanding men, for such mel

lowa,s Legislative Program.

Eagle Grove Eagle: Iowa has bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature. Quad
rennial with limit of ninety days
session would be better. 1t is amaz-
ing the amount of perfectly useless
legislation is done in these biennial
sessions, but. like the poor, we will
always have them with us, and what
is uncomfortable should be made, so far
as possible, endurable. Iowa does
not need dozen new laws. But a
half thousand will be introduced and
"a few hundred added. Some method
should be devised that will concen-
trate work upon the few essential and
give none to tna ECnesf entail. The
primary law shcald be sanely amend
ed, elections should be made less ex-
pensive by fewer polling places and
fewer election boards. The counting
of the ballots SHOW begin and be
continued about C,<a hour behind the
balloting and SO be completed one
hour after the polls are closed a
substantial penalty should be pro-
vided for a neglect to vote at any
school, special or general election.
County superintendent of schools
should be elected by the people at
the regular school election. These
with a few other matters and the
appropriations should set the boun-
daries of the legislatures work next
winter.

A LEAGUE ALREADY EXISTS.

Swiftly crystalGzing sentiment IN this coun-
t,.y and abroad renders highly lmpropable the
creation Of any formal organization with execu-
tive, legislative and judicial machinery which
could be called a league of nations or a United
States of the World The objections to 1T are
insuperable and if it comes at all 1t Will grow
into being as the years go on and not be hastily
made out of whole cloth by idealists and doc
trinaires France sees danger IN such an at
TEMPT Mr. Balfour, for Eng land, has rlddled
the project in convincing speech, and In our
own senate the view has been advanced that
there should be two such leagues, If any, one
for Europe and one for this western hemls-
,ahere. Evidently we shall never be party to
any arrangement that does not put our Monroe
doctrine beyond the possibility of disturbance
II by European powers.
The fact is that at this stage of human de
velopment the plan, as it is conjectured to have
shaped in the presidents mind is Utopian, i'm
practicable and would add to the cause of in
ternational friction which now exist. The pres
ent harmonious cooperation of Great Britain,
France and the United States insures the world
against any breach of the peace more serious
than a local, tribal war Should any such pet
ty conflict break out, the diplomatic pressure of

BRING THEM TO BAR.

Events appear to be so shaping that the leu
tonic rulers and fire eaters high in authority
who planned and forced the world will be
brought to the bar of justice. Announcement
is made that the allies have decided to demand
the surrender of the body of the former kaiser
and a number Of the soldiers and workmen's
councils in Germany have requested the Ger
man government to have Wilhelm tried by a
German tribunal. The Vienna government has
declared it's purpose to bring to trial all states
men and generals responsible for the war; and
report comes from The Hague that the Hohen-
zollerns will not long be permitted to find
refuge in Holland. Justice requires that these
colossal malefactors be put on trial for their
crimes and if found guilty of murder that they
suffer the prescribed penalty. There should
not be two laws, two theories of justice, one for
the poor and another for the powerful and
highly placed. If political order Is now
to begin in Europe it must begin with justice
which has NO respect for rank. 1t must break
with the past by a convincing demonstration
that no man is above the law can escape
punishment for atrocious deeds

THE NEW EDUCATION

Bulletin of the Guaranty TElsfs dom
pany OF New York: A great reyolu4 ION
In education seems imminent as flie
counterpart of this spirit Off inquiry
Millions Of men organized into fight
ing machines have required the SER
vices in the field and at homeaof other
millions who were trained to do GER
tain things and whose exact snowl-
edge of matters pertaining to those
tasks has been essential to military eff
ficiency Similarly, in the face OF
shortage in man-power. in the equip
ment for carrying on normal actiyi-
ties, in time itseI a greater eff
cheney in producing and distributing
and using the goods and services re-
CURED for ordinary living has become
necessary There has been on both
the military and civilian pages of our
economic register a demand for men
and women, who could do something
that was worth while doing, or who,
il they had no special training, had
sufficient general knowledge and in
teligence to make further training
possible. The supply has been some
thing far different. Through the ex-
aminations incidental TO military SER
vice there has been disclosed not only
la lack of men with technical educa-
ton, but also an amazing number OF
men who can neither read nor write
and whose fitness for life does not ex-
tend beyond their. physical strength.
Through the disruption of their work
ing forces and the absence of free
labor market employers have come
to realize how scarce are men and
women who have either special train
ing or general knowledge.

for there is now no state on earth which would
dare to challenge their opposition
Three great powers in close accord upon al
questions of international altrulsm and justice
now voice twentieth century civilization and
dominate the world. Their interests do not
conflict Their ideals substantially the
same They stand together for all that makes
for righteousness, liberty, peace and good wilt
on earth They are bound together by blood
ties, by debts of gratitude, by mutual high re-
gard, by costly sacrifices and glorious achieve
ments for common end. Bound together by
a common acceptonce of the essentials OF chris
tianity, the fundamentals of morality, they are
in a sense that spiritual seed of Abraham which
was to inherit the earth-the peoples, that IS,
who have developed the loftiest conceptions OF
religion as life instead of creed. The In
terests Of humanity safe in their hands.
Their voluntary cooperation has saved civil
ization. A league of nations potent for peace
already exists. A formal organization with an
international army, navy and executive would
weaken instead of aid to it's strength. Concert
ed action to codify international law is as far
towards formal federation as the nations at this
time can proftably go.
