President on an official mission. This
announcement is authorized offtciaily
but further information is withheld.
Represents President With Allies
1t is understood, however. that the
visit of Colonel House to Europe at
this time is connected with Ger
many's plea for an armistice and
peace, which now is before the Al
lied governments for decision. Col
onel House, very probably. is author
lied to represent the President in
discussions with the representatives
of the Allied governments.
Colonel House long has made fre-
uuent trips to Europe since the war
began i'm 1914, comforting with lead
ers in the leading belligerent nations.
More than year ago he was charged
by the President with gathering
data for use at the peace conference.
Much of it has been assembled at
the headquarters of the American
Geographical Society in New York.
On his last trip to that city after
the first German note was received

GOVERNOR CALLS
FOR REPUBLICANS
Says That the Country Needs
a Republican Majority
in National Congress

Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to-
day issued a strong. declaration in
favor of the election of Republican
congressional candidates, dealing
especially with the need of a Repub-
lican majority at Washington.
The Governors statement is as
follows: THE people of this coun-
try know full well that a Republican
Congress is as loyal as a Democratic
Congress. The votes of the Republic
can members of the present Congress
easily support this statement. There
is, therefore. no reason whatever for
Republican community to support
Democratic candidate as a war duty.
The only exception to this is the rare
community where a Republican or
Democratic member has been notori-
ously pro-German. Such are not fit
for support by any constituency.
There is. however, an economic
reason for Republican majority in
Senate and House. The war with guns
will be followed by a war with COM
modities. We shall find ourselves
suddenly thrown from an exclusive
market into a competitive market.
! We are building rapidly the greatest
merchant marine in the world. We
must have markets round the world
for the products of our mills and fac
tories. OOur home markets must be
made attractive to our home workers
and our home capital. We shall need
as never before most effective and
rational protective tariff. In no other
way can we safeguard American labor
and capital. In no other way can
we avert economic disaster. Hence II
is to the interests of the Nation If II
is to maintain in the war of indus
try the prestige 1t wins in the war
of bullets to have a Congress under
Republican control"

Read and Reflect.

Any person who does not feel
that it is glorious privilege to be
an American citizen. should have
no voice in its affairs. And he who
opposes its institutions and prin.
ciples of government, should be
denied the right to make America
his home. 1t gives men rights and
opportunities. not given them by
any other nation under the sun.
Here there is no division between
government and citizen, for all are
partners in the Government. The
security of the people and the
maintenance of the Government are
dependent upon every member of
this partnership doing his whole
duty. To whatever extent he fails
in this service and in maintenance
of the Government, he is to that ex
tent Stacker and not entitled to
all the rights, privileges, and oppor
tunities of the other members who
do their full duty. He cannot be
a sponge absorbing all and giving
nothing in return. The citizen who
is found guilty of sedition and
treason. in addition to being severe
ly punished. should be made to for
felt his citizenship. American
citizenship is too precious to be
wasted on ingrates

sumo there is no question about the
matter and proceed to make some
O observations in regard to the cor.
rectness OF the chronlcled events as
hey appear from week to week in
the average country newspaper.
The average editor is ever look
ing for sensations to boost his paper
and the correspondent colors up a
common fist fight in a back ally to
appear as regular front street riot
with all the usual excitement at
tending such occurrences. The full
account is published in the nearest
country paper, but later the noun.
tain of excitement dwindles down
to mere mole hill and the matter
is soon forgotten. Years after, the
searcher after historical matter, 10
looking over the files run onto the
riot story and very naturally takes
it for granted as true, A periodical
yet in existance. published an item
to the effect that one Smith was
accidently shot in the arm and that
the limb had been amputated
above the arm. Thirty-one years
afterwards Mr.. Smith experienced
% UGH difficulty in identifying him
self in the face of this newspaper
item and establishing the fact that
he had only lost a portion of the
thumb of the left hand. Of course
it is realized that errors in the news
paper business are constantly creep
ing into the news columns and that
a large portion of the public howl
for sensation, but that does not ex.
cuse the publisher from stating that
which, by little enquiry, would
show him the error.
If a fire occurs be careful about
stating that the fire is supposed TO
be of incendiary origin. A news
publisher should not use his posi-
ton to give his enemies a sly dig II
Take pains to get the facts and tell
the truth about friend and foe or
tell nothing. In years to come your

BreVity And Cordially.

A Supreme Court Judge, newly
elected in the State of Washington,
told q meeting of the Seattle Bar
Association that he had hung a
Walk In" sign on his door and that
he would never write a long opinion
or waste time discussing elementary
law which had been better discuss
ed already in the recognized
authoities. Perhaps he can make
the open door and the short opinion
90 together, but prolixity is not a
sin of the closeted student
He it is who pares his reasoning
down to essentials. while the man
who has 10 busy day when callers
come is the one who saves time by
writing more and thinking less.
Perhaps it does not work that way
in Washington, but in England,
where Judges are most aloof,
opinions are short. 1t takes a
political American Judge to write a
young book on horse. case.

This writer is rather smell pota-

permit their president to be exposed
TO the least danger of personal in

the president should not be per-
mitted to appear in mixed as

ETC. He should, also, leave airplane
flights, war tank" rides ard sub
