Mary Walburn. He was only boy

Now. having awakened his re-

studying mechanical engineering.
The best and latest technical books
on the subject have been obtained
for him by our A, L, a. hospital

1t was the librarian of the Amer

No one who hasn't been with our

ly, can realize what the right sort

continued. Frequently our most

pired term OF the late Benjamin X.
Tillman. is the new vote. lie Will
take his seat Immediately after the
elections OF November, succeeding
Senator Bennet, now serving by APP
pointmcnt, who voted against the
suffrage amendment.
Unbiased observers OF the sena-
torial race between Folk, Democrat
and Spencer, Republican, in Mis-
souri, say that the outcome is in
very great doubt, because OF the IN
lection OF the wet or dry issue
into the campaign. This issue, it is
believed, will break down party
party lines, this year. as it has never
done before. 1t is very general
opinoin that thousands OF wet y
Democrats will vote for Spencer and
thousands OF dry" Republicans VIII
vote for Folk.
The new National party has nom
mated a full state ticket in Montana
and has candidates for about 80
out OF 40 seats in the Legislature.
Their candidate for the senate is
Miss Jeanette Rankin, who now rep
resents the First Montana district
in the house OF representatives.
The Democratic candidate for SEN
ator is the present Senator Thomas
j. Walsh, and the Republican can
didate, II. i. LandStrum.
\ canvass OF the names OF the st.
Louis registrant books for the Nov
ember election has disclosed that
the registration OF negroes is larger
this year by 2,9o6 than ever before.
There are l5,S03 negroes registered
while the largest previous negro reg
istration was l2,SN, in 1910. Re
publican committeeman say that vir-
tually all OF these are Republican
voters.
Outstanding features OF the cleo
tion to be held in Nebraska. Nov.
). are the influence OF the Nonpar-
tisan League support OF candid
ates, efforts of the PrOhibitioniSts
to elect legislators who will vote for
the ratification of the federal pro-
hibition amendment and the prob
able effect OF soldier and sailor vote
which is estimated as high as 10000.
Announcement is made that Gov
ernor Gardner OF Missouri is to
make 4 speaking tour OF the state
IN the interest OF Joseph w. Folk,
Democratic nominee for senator,
and that all Of the state departments
are now united in their support of
him. Remember the scoring Folk
gave the Gardner administration in !
the primary campaign?
Critics of President Wilson's first
reply to the German peace propos-
ais, even Lodge, the Republican
senate leader, and Fess. the chair
man OF the Republican congresson-
Il campaign committee, say that the .
.inal answer to the Teuton plea is
wholly gratifying. This leaves Col
1nel Roosevelt in class by him
self.
The election in New York this .
ear may afford line on the ma
ional election of 1920. If Whitman
5 reelected governor he will at
'nce become the leading candidate
or the Republican nomination for
PRESIDENT. If he is defeated it is al
most certain that the nomination
will go to 4 Western man.

EXPOSE EVERY ONE
BY HARRY v. MARTIN
of the VIuiIantes,

While we are at II, reporting Ger
man spies to the federal government,
why not go a little further and give
your local food administrator the
names Of those grocers and butchers
who are charging more for their goods
than they should? BY helping to
force UP the cost of living, already
deucedly high, these petit larceny
proflteers, although waving the Amer
lean flag at every opportunity, are
really helping the kaiser. Their safe
ty lies In the fact that they are too
Insignificant to come under the notice
of investigators employed by Uncle
Sam.
Here is your opportunity, Mr.. or
Mrs. or Miss Citizen. A chance to air
that detective instinct that is within
Is all. A very good way Of "doing
your Bit" and n that is bound to be
appreciated. II stands to reason that
the food administrator in your town
and county has his hands full taking
care Of the big things. Give him a
lift by appointing yourself. this very
instant, as one of his assistants to fer
ret out the meanest men and women
In all the world, the criminals who
see in the war a chance to get rich
quick at the expense Of their own
c~ountrymen.

THE FASHION OF 1918
BY iSOBEL FIELD.
Of the vlgHantes.

Her hat was plainly old fashioned,
and the ribbon that adorned 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been cleaned and pressed with
q hot iron ; her tailor-made suit, though
well fitting, was faded in color and cut
in the mode Of year before last; but
she walked down Fifth avenue among
the b~est-dressed women in the world
with q swing Of the skirts and a noble
condescenslon Of glance that attracted
my attention. I watched her with In
terest, sauntering a little ahead and
stopping at shop windows to study her
as she passed.
Was she a great painter, authoress
or poet pulled up with her well-deserv-
ed fame2 No, her face was not famil-
lar, as, in these days of newspaper
photography 1t would be were she of
the elect. She was neither young nor
strikingly beautiful, yet why the grand
manner as Of one above the common
herd1
Suddenly she paused beside me to
cast an Indifferent glance at a dazzling
array Of diamonds In n shop window
and then I discovered the secret of her
proud bearing. What need had she Of
fine clothes or feathers in her hat2
She was dressed in the height Of the
fashion of 1918. On the breast of her
shabby jacket she wore a little service
bar and on that bar were three blue
stars!

return: the dancing, bowling, frog-eat-
ing Alphonse, the very opposite I'm

name Is the personlhcation of valor.

He Is no more. Gradually there has
appeared in his place a stern young
American, trained and alert, musket
In hand. There is no hyphcn TO his
name. His forefathers were Africans,
but he Is loyal United States.
When the colored troops marched
down Fifth avenue for the last time
before going to France, the newspa-
pers reported that they were given a
"tumultuous ovation" As a matter Of
fact, there was little cheering. The
dense masses that lined the sidewalks
and filled the windows and overhang-
ing balconies looked on in growing
wonder. Here and there a patter OF
gloved hands or a 'bravo" was
drowned In the beat Of drums and the
tramp of many feet. The sight Of the
long, long line Of khaki-clad figures
marching like clock-work the strange
| grim faces that might have been cast
In bronze-eyes straight ahead, with
not a side glance or a CLEAN of white
teeth company after company led by
smart, soldierly colored officers, nj!
on their way to the battlefront, was
too awe-inspiring for noise. The
crowds gave them the deeper homage
Of breathless surprised silence. They
came to applaud Mistah Johnston and
beheld in his place a bold warrior who
commanded their respect and admira'
ton.
