THE HAYS MESSAGE.

The arguments that Will H. Hays
brought to the Republicans of Kansas
in his address before the party confer
ence here Friday stand out as the
most structural material that has been
presented to the party workers with
which they may build victories at the
November election. With an earnest
ness that county chairmen and others
who heard him should not lose in con-
veying his message to their districts.
he plead .that the war be kept out
of partisan politics and that partisan
politics be kept out Of war.
The leader from Indiana, indeed.
spoke the Kansas anguage-purely
and Clearly and forcibly. No attacks
were made on the personal leaders of
the Democratic party; no effort was
made to insinuate that those of the
faith of President Wilson are not Just
as loyal and patriotic as those of the
Republican faith; no hint was made
that the voters of the United States
could cause joy in Berlin by any ac-
ton they might take.
But convincing arguments were ad-
vanced in clear and concise words to
show that the leadership of the Re-
publican party is in the hands of men
capable and competent in every wav
to carry the war to a successful con-
clusion. The record of the Republi-
can leaders in congress who have en-
abled President Wilson to accomplisb
some of the many big things he has
done was one of the strong areu-
ments advanced why more Republi-
cans should be on the Job in was
ington.
The fact that the administration is
making little more preparation to meet
the problems of peace reconstruction
than was made for war was advanced
as a serious matter for the voters to
think about andwas referred to as one
OF the three big problems the Repub-
lican party is prepared to deal with.
The big problem, of course, is win
ming the war as quickly as possible.
and the problem of next importance
is that of bringing a peace that will
be permanent.
Mr.. Hays did not set the state
ariame with his oratory. He did not
enthuse his hearers as an orator of
the old style school would. But he
brought Kansas national viewpoint
all Republicans can be proud to hold.
and, on behalf of the national party.
he pledged that it will strive for the
things 1t has demanded of the Dem
ocrats and will strive to do whatever
they leave undone in the matter of
winning the war. bringing permanent
peace ana in shaping the future SO
tnat the laborer and the farmer and
the manufacturer will suffer as little
as possible from the reconstruction
era that will soon dawn.

SAVE YOUR SEEDS.

A request has been issued from the
council of national defense at Wash
ington for the opening of a publicity
campaign toward the saving of seeds
and nut shells to be used in the max
ing of gas masks.
Up until this order the saving of
peach seeds alone has been urged. In
the manufacture of gas masks il is
essential that the highest grade of
carbon be obtained. Thru consider
able research, government chemists
nave demonstrated that the best car
bon can be obtained from certain
shells, seeds and pits or stones from
certain fruit.
Inc age of the material does not
AFFECT its usefulness and no attempt is
necessary to keep the various mater
ials separate. All pits must he dried
Detore shipping. 1t is not necessary
to extract the kernels from these
seeds altho the war department saws
that as a means of food conservation
they should be used as food If posi-
BILE.
Aside from the fruit stones of the
present season, there are places where
large quantities of old ones are OBJ
tainable.
The heaviest demand for this char
acter of supplies will come in the next
few months. The fruit season is clos
ing and it is the time of the year
when nut gathering begins and the
small boys decorate themselves with
walnut stain. Immediate action must
be exerted to obtain the supplies.

man of the women's division of the
council of defense, will have charge

Government research has proven
that the best carbon can be obtained
