Miss Dolah Black, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. U. G. Black, who live one
mile north of the city, died Septem-
ber 26th, at S:15, in a hospital in
Kansas City where she had under
went an operation. She was just 10
years of age. Miss Black had been
in i'll health for some time and it
was thot that an operation was the
only avenue for recovery, but it
proved that she was beyond all help.
Miss Black was a member of the
Christian Church and young lady
of pleasant disposition and loved by
all who knew her. Her early passing
brings great sorrow to her parents
and brothers, Fred and Chester, be-
sides host of friends.
The remains were brought to Lib

while in the hospital, and funeral SER
vices were held from the Christian
Church Sunday, September 29th, at

"CoTTER YET"

Since the spread of the Spanish
Influenza the first question that one
is liable to be asked is "gotter yet"
which when translated into English
means shave you got it yet. There
has likely been a few cases in this
locality, but none that have assumed
serious aspect. In many cities and
towns in Kansas the schools, church
es, picture shows, etc., have been
closed and all public gatherings call
ed off, but nothing of the kind has
been thought Of here as yet. Il seems
to- bs-sxpeetsd that, ths disease viii
invade this section and Il Right be
well for the public to post up on the
symptoms and the remedies necessary
to combat it and be in position TO
defend themselves. In many places
it is very serious and many deaths
are reported, so it would seem that
it is disease not to be fooled with.
It is said that prompt treatment in
the early stages will save serious
illness, so everyone should be on the
lookout for the first signs Of its ap-
proach and take it in hand early.

ALLIES WON'T QUIT FOR
PEACE TALK WITH BILL

If the Kaiser expected to gain any
time by making a peace proposal he
has been badly fooled. If he thought
the Allies would let up until his
troops could get on better footing he
has another guess coming.
According to the note sent by
President Wilson there can be no
peace parley as long as German
troops occupy territory Of the Allies.
II old Bill Kaiser wants to talk peace
and really means it, he must get out
bag and baggage, and crawl back in
to his own back yard.
There ase several ways to look at
the German peace proposal. In the
main the idea most generally express
ed is that it is mere play for time.
Things are going badly on the West
ern front for the Kaiser. Some
thing must be done to turn the tide.
The tactics heretofore employed by
Germany have been a fight and a
rest. The French and British needed
the rests also, so the Germans had
nothing to bother them. However
oiuCC bhC OultCu OLdISo Has q COuplt VI
million men over there just rearing to
"go" the German troops must be
continually on the job, and from all
appearances they do not like it. The
steady advance of the Allied troops
is disconcerting.
We are of the opinion that Ger
many really wants peace, but we have
grave doubts as to her being anxious
enough to meet the terms which will
be laid down for her. Until she is so
completely licked that it will not be
a question of terms will there be any
peace for Germany. She has bid for
this kind of settlement and will get
it, and the Fourth Liberty Loan will
help to do it. All pro-Germans will
refuse to subscribe because the war
is over.

INVOLVES MORE
PATRIOTISM THAN EVER

The patriotism involved in the
Permanent Income Amendment has
been made particularly significant
recently by the action of the Gov
ernment in sending the young men to
college in Students Army Training
Corps. Young men are being drafted
and sent where they can be of the
most service-to college-not only
the most service in war but in pre-
pairing themselves to carry on the ma
tion's work after the war. The Gov
ernment has officially said these were
the two reasons for the S. A. T. c.
Kansas has five state schools Of col
lege rank. These schools mean more
to Kansas now than they ever did.
They will mean more and more in the
future after the war. The Kansas
Legislature of 1917 built better than
it could then know when it submitted
the amendment providing for defin-
ite permanent .income for the state
schools which would set aside and
hold sacred the money for them so
that they might plan economically
and efficiently for the future as well
as the present.
Another very significant fact con-
nected with the Permanent Income
Amendment and the future of educa-
ton in Kansas after the war is that
the presidents of denominational col
leges want the amendment adopted.
The association of college presidents
to which they all belong has officially
asked the voters to vote "Yes" on No
vember 5th. President Philbald of
Bethany College, Lindsborg, voiced
their views when he said: "The prop
osition is worthy Of the endorsement
of every Kansas voter. 1t will mean
step forward not only for the state
institutions but for those under pri-
vate control as WELL"

LIBERAL DEFEATED MEADE
26 TO 6 FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Game Warmly Contested And No
Scores We're Made Until
Last Quarter

The Liberal-Meade foot ball game
last Friday was all that had been
promised. Both teams played air
tight the first three quarters, and it
was not until the last quarer that
things began to pick up. In the be-
ginning of the last quarter Meade
scored a touchdown, and then the
Liberal boys came alive, making four
touchdowns and kicking goal twice,
making the final score 26 to 6 in
favor of Liberal.
The Liberal team is now seeking
other scalps to dangle at their belt,
so it is likely that thty will go on the
war-path again soon.
