DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THEM IN

"This department is too patriotic
to use these pencils" wrote 1nspert-
OF C. O. Myers to w. d. Fulton,
Ohio's Secretary of State, on receiv-
ing a consignment of pencils marked
"Made in Germany" 1t was a fine
joke on the democratic officials of
Ohio, whose party stands for free
trade. They are "too patriotic" to
use pencils "Made in Germany" but
in 1913 their party was so unpatrio-
tic as to make a bid for German
competition in lead pencils, against
those made in America" by reduc-
ing the tariff duty to a ridiculous
rate, porters are carrying those
stocks four years later. Do you
democrats and free traders now see
the point? If the war lasts long
enough perhaps you will learn some
thing in regard to this matter. No
amount of argument has ever been
able to convince you.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

To whom it may concern:
The act of Congress by which the
American Red Cross was chartered
provides for the protection of its
name and insignia. 1t is unlawful:
"For any person to claim falsely
to be a member or agent Of the Red
Cross for the purpose of soliciting
or collecting money or material.
For any person to wear or display
the insignia of the Red Cross OF
any insignia colored in imitation
thereof for the purpose of falsely
inducing the belief that he is a men,
Der or agent of the society.
For any person, corporation, or as
ISOLATION other than the American
Red Cross and its authorized agents
to use the emblem or any imitation
thereof as an advertisement or for
any business or charitable purpose"
The American Red Cross insists
that when members of the Red Cross
desire to hold entertainments of any
kind for the purpose of raising
money for the use of the Red Cross
permission to do so must first be
obtained of the Local Chapter of
the Red Cross, or its official repre-
sentatives. The Leavenworth Chap
ter, through it's officers will be glad
to cooperate with any who desires
to assist in Red Cross work.
MRS. ECKHART, Secy.,

F. L. MOORE, Chairman.

HYPHENATED SOCIALISTS

Analysis of the vote in Wisconsin's
Senatorial election produces about the
same percentage of Socialist vote as
that which New York cast in its
municipal election last November. In
each case, however, the figure is
high enough to warrant some sensi-
tiveness in approaching the Congress
sional elections of this fall. 1t is
impossible to tell now just what per
cent of Socialist strength is taken
from either of the old parties; per-
|haps that can never be determined
with accuracy. But it is impossible
to discern that much of Socialism's
growth in this country, speaking
from the political point of view, has
been procured by the adoption Of
socialistic programmes in legislation.
Congress, under the lead of the pre-
sent administration, has been es-
pecially identified with this class of
lawmaking; the idea being, we as
sumo, to attract socialists into demo-
cratic ranks through the appearance
of favoring socialist principles. If
so, the plan has failed. Socialists
are not joining the democrats, but
democrats are joining the socialists.
Some republicans, too, are probably
in the procession, but we think they
are outnumbered by their democratic
associates who feel, we have no
doubt, that it is better to become a
real socialist than to remain an imi-
tation one.

son opens and you can bet your best

wasted just to let the big game know
the enemy is coming.
The hunters are busy cleaning
guns, brushing the dust from their
old hunting togs, talking nice to the
trusty guns, keeping the ammunition
dealers busy dishing out shells, be-
sides giving particular attention to
their cars, and telling the women
folks to prepare an early breakfast.
But then, its great sport for us

Naws T have become familiar with

and the three blind men from DUH
bay handed to the farmers through,
ont Sheridan county on the Seed
Grain proposition. It was handed TO
ME. too. I first became acquainted
with the Seed Grain proposition
through an article which appeared In
a certain newspaper published at
brentwood which gave information
that Sunny Jim" and the three BIND
men from Bombay had authority
from the Government to assist the
farmers of Sheridan county with
seed grain, ard of course, at low
rate of interest and at cost. | asked
our honorable "Sunny Jim" for the
assistance and applied accordingly TO
secure a certain amount OF oats Tor
seed. I received the application blank
hy return mail and noticed that the
price per bushel for the oats was
S1.25, while our Farmers Elevator
Co., here sold good oats at $1.1O per
bushel In making application Tor
the oats furnished by the county, as
it were, I was obliged to mortgage
all my crop, stock and machinery.
Now where does the low rate OF IN
terest and the ASSISTANCE come
in? How did "Sunny Jim" and the
three blind men from Bombay help
me and where did the extra 15 cents
per bushel go to and for what pur-
pose?
o, yes, that is nice help from our
county officers. Dope like that will
soon put the poor farmer on the
tramp and it is no wonder those
same officers come around at each
election with a dollar sign smile on
their faces pleading for votes to get
back into office and do the same thing
over again. Will we tolerate such
nonsense another term? Move
