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 1854
the political situation became very ex-
citing and the conditions in this coun-
try we're much more serious than they
could possibly be under foreign war
conditions. So 1t is altogether probable
that this coming congressional cam
paign will see lot of politics.
Just harking back TO some of the
special elections that have been held
since the United States entered into
the war, 1t 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 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 q great COM
plant when that servicesis not efficient.
For instance, outside of some of the
critics in big cities, no one complains
about the rural free delivery service
although 1t costs forty or fifty million
dollars more than 1t 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 it is the ambition OF
the postmaster general to make the
postal department self-sustaining, no
one seems to object If there is def
lett, particularly If there has been q
good service.

Whatever else may happen Il seems
almost certain that Moses r Kinkaid
viii 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
iournment 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 MEM
Der of the house. Kinkaid was quito
a favorite with President Taft, who al
ways referred to him as the sand-hiii
crane from Nebraska" mainly because
Kinkaid represented partially arid
district.

During the tendency Of the war"
is a phrase which finds It's way into
a great deal of legislation that Is pass
ed these days. No doubt when the war
is over it will be found that some Of
the legislation that has been enacted
with the phrase, and with the idea Of
limiting it simply to the war, can be
made adaptable to future conditions
and will be continued. The people
have no idea of the amount Of legIsIar
ton that has been written on the
statute books for the purpose Of con-
Quoting the war against Germany.
This Is an evidence that the United
States was wholly unprepared for war,
not only from military standpoint,
but also from a legislative standpoint
Even the president of the United
States. Who as eemmander-in-chief OF
the army and navy, is clothed with al
most unlimited power during a war,
found it necessary TO have reams Of
legislation enacted in order to carry
on big foreign war.

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 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 1t Is the
little fellows that get caught rather
than the big fellows.

AS to propaganda, 1t Is very doubt
full whether the United States could
have done anything since our entry In
to the war to prevent the catastrophe
In Russia. Before that time our neu-
trality would have made it impossible
for us to use propaganda for or against
Germany. 1t should also be remem-
bered that the Germans have been us
ing the propaganda in Russia for
dozen years for the very purpose of ac-
complishing the results that have been
so favorable to the Germans.

a view of ascertaining the very best
location for a theatre building. One
of the sites is the vacant corner of

seating will be planned with the same
idea of comfort in view Ladies rest

cause for which she has long stood
paramount in all the world. She
pledges absolutely all to the success
full issue, and calls upon her sons and
daughters to ratify the pledge. Mil
lions of young men are offering and
will offer the supreme sacrifice-life
itself! What, then, are dollars, few,
or many?
From the strictly practical point of
view the present proposition is both
attractive and advantageous. The
child can save its quarters and ex-
change for the baby bond, receiving
about four and one-half per cent by
holding, and can at any time realize
cost with three per cent thereon in
cash. Anyone who can dig up an hun
dred dollars or any multiple thereof,
can do the same thing-the only pos
sible loss to him being the three or
four per cent higher interest derived
from an ordinary loan; and the latter
is always for fixed period, while the
bond can be converted at any time.
Both these sources must contribute,
not only once, but again and again,
If the ultimate goal is to be reached
