Another achievement for the re-
nowned Colonel House is claimed. A
Washington correspondent says that
he it was who brought William Jen-
nings Bryan's name to the attention
of President Wilson and suggested
him for a cabinet position.
We have often wondered who drag
ged Mr.. Bryan from obscurity and
brought him to national notice. Out

congress. soaring Wall street into per-
manently better behavior, leading the
democratic party as candidate for
president in three national campaigns,
delivering addresses and lectures in
every town, village, and hamlet in the
United States and snatching the dem
ocratic nomination from Champ Clark
in 1912 to bestow it on Mr.. Wilson,
he had never done anything to attract
the public eye.
Somehow we had an idea that Mr..
Bryan's name on the democratic ma
tional ticket might have caught Pres
idcnt Wilson's eye two or three times,
but this evidently is an error. The
president is one who shuts his eyes
and votes 'er straight. 1t was Colonel
House who discovered the timid,
shrinking William Jennings by the
wayside and acquainted the president

Income Tax

Frank ]. Medina of Denver, sup
posed expert of the internal revenue
collectors office, spent several days
the past week in Lamar trying to ex-
plain some of the intricacies of that
remarkable statute to our wealthy
people. 1t was soon discovered that
the mysteries of the document were
quite as shrouded from his vision as
most of the people interested, but he
did his damndcst and angels could do
no more. 1t came as quite shock to
some of our spectators to learn that
their gains were subject to tax, but
they could get no credit for losses.
One result of this drastic measure will
be to improve the bookkeeping of our

In Lamar March IL

Edward F. Trefz, just back from
France and England where he went
as one of the United States Food Ad-
ministration's commission sent to
Europe to ascertain actual food con-
ditions, is one of the team of speakers
that will bring the war message to
Colorado from March IL to March 16.
The team will visit about twenty-five
cities and towns in all sections of the
state and will tell Colorado audiences
the pressing need of providing food
for the nations associated with Amer
lea in the prosecution of the war.
Mr.. Trefz was one of commission
of six selected speakers who went
through England and France, thor
oughly investigating city and country
life-saw long lines at London's mu-
nicipal kitchens; studied England's
farm preparations for increasing the
food supply, motored through the ag-
ricultural districts of France, and in
addition conferred with the soldiers in
the American expeditionary forces and
at this time had conferences with Gen
eral Pershing and his staff officers.
Hurrying on to London, for the
purpose of comforting with Lord
Rhondda, British food controller, and
inspecting the municipal kitchen
queues-the commission went through
an air raid, details of which they will
probably tell their American audi
ences.
Stories of trench life, of the Eng
lish, French and American armies in
France and Of the general situation in
both England and France fill Mr..

When the war has been won,
When our duty is done,
When our sailors come sailing the

When our men of the air

The young winners Of war,
They will look you up, over and

And in word, or in thought,
They will ask, like as not:

A Danger That Is Past.
New York Worldly

(New York Word)
 Senator Lodge, in his remarkably able speech Friday, gave expression to very common fear when he said in the course of the debate on the Man-Power Bill that
 The Germans, repulsed and losing, will
 doubtedly resort to their other weapon which
 they have used more than once during this
 with terrible effect. They will begin an
 insidious and poisonous peace propaganda. With
 this weapon they have succeeded in dfsorgan-
 izing Russia It is the German peace propa-
 ganda which we shall be obliged to face Tn the
 ensuing months.
 That the Germans, following their smashing defeats on the western front, will soon undertake new peace offensive may be taken for granted; yet doubt if there is any substantial reason for anxiety. German peace propaganda, like German element any of the free nations at with Ger many is susceptible to this method of influence
 The Germans themselves destroyed their peace propaganda effective weapon at Brest-Litovosk. Had they made generous and honorable peace with dsorganized Russia and carried out in good faith their pledge of mo annexations and indemnies is not beyond the range of possibilities that timent would have been created which would have compelled the British the French and the Italian governments to yield to the policy of peace by nego- tiation. That danger ended when Germany again In assenting to this exploitation of the Prussan lust for conquest Lenine and Trotzky rendered to embattled democracy the most useful service per service none the less notable because it n- intentional.
 There is little occasion now to worry about in evitabe German peace proposals which will fol- low the retreat of the German armies the Hin denburg llne And Senator Lodge is guilty of gross hattery to the German government when he de- scribes this propaganda insidious It insid- ious once, and it poisonous once, but the world has been well safeguarded, thanks to the blundering stupidity of German diplomacy.
 A few tired and elderly gentlemen of the Lans- downe class might be impressed by a German peace proposal, but the fighting democracies have gained new resolution and spirit in their victories of the last six weeks Even two months ago the prospects of dictated peace seemed remote indeed to the war-weary peoples who have staggered for four years under this ghasty burden Suddenly the whole situetion is changed, the way to victory is open and the goal although far distant is in sight
 Any German peace proposal in view of what has happened since July 15 would be greeted with in ternational dersion. It might be effective in Ger many as means of summoning the Kaiser's subjects to last supreme effort in defense of autocracy In Great Britain, in France, in Italy, in the United States 1t would be interpreted only confession impending defeat The danger is past

IN THE HALL OF FAME.

Florida has just added another State hero to the Hall of Fame in Washington by erecting statue of Gen. Kirby Smith, which has caused various commentators to recall the fuss made not many years ago when Virginia placed statue of Robert F. Lee in the place.
 The great reputation of Gen. Lee and the no bty of his character, which could not be denied by the iercest of sectional partisans, suficed to still the storm.
 But the country recalls only that klrby Smith was gallant soldier, who served his cohn- try well in the Mexican War and that in the Civil War he demonstrated very considerable degree of capacity as a commander. In the Red River coun- try where he caused Gen. Banks to turn his con quest of Texas into nasty return to Louisiana, there must be many who recall Kirby Smith with blessing, and he alive today and in his prime he would probably be commanding corps somewhere in France

SOME WICKERSHAM CHARGESs

Judge Wickersham accuses Gov. Riggs with having been Republican, and for proof of the allegation he points the circumstance that he, an engineer employed by the United States government dur ing Republican administrations Likewise, he ac- cuses Attorney General Grgsby of having been Re publican, and likewise for proof of the allegation he out the circumstance that MT. Grigsby held or flee under Republican administrations.
 Are we to believe from this that Judge Wick ershams understanding is that Democrats per mitted to the Government when the Republican party is in power? Is that his conception of the party with which he claims to affiliate this year?
 And further if Judge Wickersham thinks it a crime for change his politics, what explana- tion has he for his many changes? Since he began running for office in Alaska, according to his own declarations from time time, he has been an independent. Progressive, Wilson Democrat a Progressive Democrat, Democrat, and Republican. He has professed to be most of these in single campaign He has sought nominations at the hands of both the Democratic and Republican parties. He has been willing to belong to any party that would nominate him for office.
 While not necessarily important the fact is that Gov. Riggs is a lifelong Democrat and Attorney General Grgsby has been Democrat since the Bry- campaign of twenty-two years Gov. Riggs entered public service through the classified civil service, in a technical capacity engineer and his politics had nothing whatever to do with his position. MT. Grgsby appointed to office first by his father. who supported Bryan and elected Attorney General of South Dakota on fusion Dem ocratic and Silver Republican ticket and next be- cause he the of his father, personal friend of Col Roosevelt.
