Whatever else may happen 1t seems
almost certain that Moses P. Kinkaid
will be returned from the Sixth district
of Nebraska. Kinkaid is one of the
men that attend strictly to business all
the time. He never bankers for adj
journment nor does he seem to think
it necessary to go out and fix up his
fences. He Is not much in evidence
on the floor of the house in the way
of making speeches, but he is generally
there when the votes are taken and he
has the reputation of paying closer at
tention to every demand on the part
of his constituents than any other men,
Der of the house. Kinkaid was quite
a favorite with President Taft, who al
ways referred to him as "the sand-hill
crane from Nebraska" mainly because
Kinkaid represented a partially arid
district.

Complaint Is made that the United
States missed great opportunity in
Russia, and this is followed by a state
ment that this country ought to have
exerted a sufficient amount of influ-
ence in Russia to have prevented that
great country from deserving the allies.
German propaganda has heretofore
been credited with having turned the
scale In Russia. But now comes a
story to the effect that Kaiser Bill
and Emperor Charles have been send

Are we going to keep politics out OF
the political campaign? Even the old
timers around Washington who do not
recall what happened in 1862 during
the Civil war, remember that in 1864
the political situation became very ex-
citing and the conditions in this coun-
try were much more serious than they
could possibly be under foreign war
conditions. So it is altogether probable
that this coming congressional cam
paign will see lot of politics.
Just barking back to some Of the
special elections that have been held
since the United States entered into
the war; it is observed that politics
were injected quite freely. This was
especially true in a New Hampshire
district, in the Indiana district, anC
also in the senatorial election in Wis
consin. The probabilities are that
there is going to be a right lively po-
litical campaign, Notwithstanding some
attempts to postpone politics until at
ter the war.
There is very little complaint from
people about the cost of any mail serv-
ice, but there always is a great COM
plant when that service is not efficient.
For instance, outside Of some of the
critics in big cities, no one complains
about the rural free delivery service
although it costs forty or fifty million
dollars more than it returns to the gov
eminent. Nor Is anyone complaining
about the cost Of Postmaster General
Burleson's experiment with air mail
service for the big cities. Rural COM
munities do not want to curtail good
mail facilities for the city, but they
are insistent that they also get good
service. While 1t Is the ambition of
the postmaster general to make the
postal department self-sustaining, no
one seems to object If there is def
good service.
One unfortunate feature Of the talk
about immense profiteering and graft
in connection with war work is that the
small CRATER is always encouraged to
try to make something himself. Thus
1t happens that small dealers furnish
ing meat to the army and commissary
sergeants enter into a combination to
get a little "rake-off." They seem to
feel that while others are making big
money out of the war they are entitled
to make their bit. One of the fea-
lures of this grating is that it is the
little fellows that get caught rather
than the big fellows.
Washington's first nickname was
''The City of Magnificent Distances"
1t might be changed now to '9Tha City
of Magnificent Uniforms" Not that
the army uniforms one sees are magnl
fcent in the sense Of being gaudy or
snowy, but there Is such tremendous
variety. In addition to the policemen
fremen, messenger boys and porters,
whom like the poor we have with US
always, there are American soldiers
| in khaki, Frenchmen In blue-gray and
dark blue, Englishmen in deeper
shade of khaki sprinkled here and
there with red, American naval officers
and naval reserves in binding white,
green-clad marines and naval aviators,
| English sea fighters in navy blue, Ital-
| ians In high-peaked caps and gray.
green uniforms, an occasional Belgian

Money Talks

1t must be lovely to suddenly become million
aire and with the millionares swosh. There's the
case of Tadasaburo Yamamato, of Toxic. He awoke
one morning, to discover that profiteering had
put so many millions in his Golfers that they were
likely to explode
Now, when you become millionaire, you've got
to do something different" to show that you are
the real thing. So, first thing Mr. YamamotO does
is the hire 81 newspaper reporters and set off into
Korea on royal tiger hunt. There he blazed away
at tigers, boars, deer, BEARS eopards and such till
large part of Korea just one death yell OF wild
beasts But, huhl that's some like an old game OF
millionares, so Millionaire Yam-ets. took his big
gest tiger and made great banquet on it, for his
friends and reporters, at Toxic.
OF course, tiger fried, baked stewed or boiled, is
Just cat, intensified undenatured cat; but every
banqueter said it was delicious When you eat off
millionaire it is proper that you like cat, kitten, or
anything else that he pays for. Anyhow, Mr.. Yam
etc. had done something that distinguished him
from all other sudden millionaires, and everybody
who was full of his kind of cat said so.
But, he wasn't thru sparkling yet. He desired
that the whole world should know of his sudden
rival among the malefactors of great wealth, and
so he shipped the skin of that big tiger to our
own Col Roosevelt. AS soon as the colonel is con-
valescent, he'll get a note something like this
friend: Please honorable token Of

inside. Highly Honorable.

A Letter From Armour

We were wonderfully honored today. On OPEN
ing our morning mail whatshoud we discover but
letter from Armour, the packer! Now it is not
often that Armour the packer, also connected with
the Hog ID shipyards, takes his pen in hand to in
form of his dongs his plans or his ambitions.
And to be truthful, this letter from him was not
especially chatty. He didn't say how folks were
.or if the skating was good in Chicago or anything
about the latest eastern dances or whether he plan
ned going to Florida for the taiend of the winter
Instead, he enclosed lot of newspaper clippings
bearing on the Heney investigation and said that
he "would appreciate receiving marked copy of
our paper containing any comment we'd to
make
The clippings appeared to be all pretty much
alike. There was one from the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal for instance. Hasn't the name of that
paper very substantial sound) 1t opined that
the Heney inquiry has gone far afield," and that
'the attorney has turned prosecutor" Its general
conclusion was that the government is making an
ass Of itself to question Mr. Armours high minded
ness and patriotism.
Then there was Chicago Evening Post clip
ping. 1t demanded plaintivelv where did this
campaign against the packers come FRONT" and
dismissed it as undertaking.
The Grand Forks IN d. Herald called the in
Westigation ''prosecution" and declared it is all
wrong.
We were surprised and little hurt that the col
lection of clippings did not contain one from our
columns Only the other day had an editorial
on the subject, headed 'Use the Cleaver on Them"
Personally, we thought it was a very good editorial
Several readers called UP to say that they did, too
Mebbe Mr.. Armour hadn't received it yet.
We're sure he will like it when he sees it.

We Hope He Passes

It is reported that before Maj. Gen. H. A. Greene
returns to Camp Lewis he will undergo, perhaps
already has undergone, at Washington, d. c.,
physical examination to determine whether he shall
see active service in France.
The Times hopes he will pass with much margin
to spare. We should like to have him here to di-
rect the training Of the next division that mobizes
at Camp Lewis, for he is force and an asset in
the community, BUT
He is a trained and capable fighting man, and the
Wild West division needs to have and deserves to
have commander of his calbre to lead it in
France. If he is physically fit to stand the rigors
of trench campaigning we believe he is
there is the place he should be in the coming cru
cial months
We hope he passes for another reason. Because
he wants to go. If our recollection serves us
rightly, there has been fighting Greene of his line
in every war this republic has engaged in, and
there ought to be one in the last.

ANSWERS By-

Dear Miss Grey: Win you
please tell me thru your col
umns the meaning OF the yell
low frings on our American
flag? always thought yellow
represented cowardice?
The only flags which arc
trimmed with yollow silk are those
which are carried by each regi-
ment along with it's regimental
flag. These flags are Of silk and
must follow army regulations,
which include the fringe. No
bunting flag ever carried fringe.
Why should you think the fellow
fringe on our Stars and Stripes
might mean cowardice? just be-
cause we speak Of people with
'yellow streaks" we do not neces-
ssrily mean that all yellow signi-
flies that quality.
The golden glory of the sum
shine can't be construed to mean
fear; the beauty of gold and its
power are not cOwardly; the yell
low Of the rose stands for sweet
old fashionedness. Yellow AMI
gold stand for many things aside
from your meaning. 1t stands, 1t
must stand, for glory, chivalry AMI
honor when it adorus Americas
flag.

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless)
and is better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroly.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil The hair
drives quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous.
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. it's very
cheap. and a few ounces will sup
ply every member Of the family
for months.

You are taking the glances of
the world too seriously, fear.
1t seems that people just natural
~ enjoy looking at other people,
and very often this rather imper-
sonal "sizing up" is construed TO
mean something quite different
than the "sizer" means. I think
people look at you two just as
they look at any nicely dressed,
fresh appearing young girls, and
that you are misleading their
looks by thinking there is some
thing funny about you.

American recognition, the Czecho-Slo-

strength and influence to the full sup

authoritative disclosures here today.
Great significance was attached by
diplomats to the conference between
President Wilson and Chairman Masa-
ryk, Of the Czecho-Slovak national re-
lief council 1t was the Bohemian lead

since the Czecho-Slovak recognition and
the meeting was considered no less than
a recognition Of DR.. Masaryk's author
ity over the de facto government and
the Czecho-Slovak forces in Siberia,
France and Italy.
II was the diplomatic opinion that the
two leaders carefully considered the
plans already under way for co.ordinat
ing the interests Of the Slay nationali-
ties seeking to discard the Austrian
yoke.
Czech press dispatches to the national
council refer to the intense spirit ar
oused in Bohemia and MorOvia by the
assurance Of outside aid to the evident
boldress Of the Czccho-Slovak leaders
Czech Deputy Karel Prasck, fosmer
municipal cabinet member is quoted in
Prague newspapers as called upon the
members of every city council and town
board to consider themselves delegates
to the CzechoSlovak national commit

according to the press, that the Bohe-
mian and the Slovak people must not
leave their destinies in the hands Of
the Czech deputies who are valicntly
opposing the authority of Vienna, but
that every man must line up in defense
