1t would be funny if government
operation were less efficient than be-
fore. Why should it be? Has it not
enlisted all the best railroad talent,
while it has abolished all the restric-
tions upon pooling and cooperative
working which the country had set up
because in private hands monopoly is
dangerous? The reason why certain
classes maintain that government
operation has failed is because they
have an implicit faith that there is
something about the government that
is poisonous and deadly.-Capital.

SHOWS WHAT GOVERNMENT
OPERATION is REALLY DOING

Theodore Price, an expert of high
degree, takes issue with the loose and
premature talk of the breakdown OF
government operation of railroads,
meeting each charge with separate
disproof and winding up with the
prophecy that government operation
will cumulatively demonstrate its eff
ficiency to the country as time goes
by.
He thinks the superior efficiency
already demonstrated and cites the
figures to prove it. "The average
carload has been increased" for in
stance, "from 262 to 28.5 tons. If
this ratio is maintained it will be
equivalent to an addition of 211, 200
freight cars" Mr.. Price remarks
"Surely this is better than buying
new cars" at extravagant prices. For

RAUs NIT "MADE IN GERMANY"

Thos. W. Cav, the south Liberal
hardware man, hands the Democrat q
booklet entitled "Mr. Buyer, It's Up
to You," which deals with. hardware
made in Germany. 1t is a forceful
argument against buying goods made
in Germany after the war is over, and
it strikes popular chord in the heart
of every true patriot.
That little stamp made in Ger
many" is going to be mighty unpopu-
lar after the war as it should be. The
dirty brutes who have resorted to
such terrible methods to enslave the
world need not expect this writer, and
there are millions like US, to use their
products when we have finally
whipped them into semblance of hui
manity.
Ask Mr.. Cav for one of the book
lets and read it. 1t will do you good,
and teach you to despise anything
that comes from the realm of kaiser
dom.

TRENCH RELIGION

We had the pleasure of little Wis
it the other day with Will MARI, of
the MARI Entertainers-those Cana
dams who have come back from the
hell of shrapnel and poison gas,
physically disabled from fighting any
more, but gloriously "doing their bit"
to bring the intimate life of the
trenches, the songs and thoughts and
prayers and ideals Of the men, back
to us here in our haven of comfort
able safety. Theirs was great num-
Der, on program that has never been
equalled here.
There is one thing in common that
you have noticed about he Mari boys,
Captain Fallon and Lieutenant
Tougher, all of whom have fought
and shed their blood for humanity.
That's the look in the eye. There is
a sort of spiritual exaltation about it,
as tho the man back of the look had
walked hand in hand with God him
self on ground infinitely higher than
our feet have yet trodden.
eve are all conscious that there is
change in u.s." said Mr.. MARI. $50
many of the things that once seemed
so important to us have become in
significant. We think of the funda-
mentals alone. We feel the kinship
of all good men more keenly. We
know something more about God. 1t
is wonderful how very simple the
Christian religion is when stripped of
all its superfiuites."
So it is safe enough to say that
every man who has looked across No
Mans land into the jaws of hell
comes back a Christian, whether he
ever was one before or not. He has
offered his life that others might be
saved. He stands on the highest
ground any human being can occupy;
a sort of Calvary. He is offering to
do what Christ did. When man
does exactly what Christ would do, at
every instance in life, he is a Chris
tian-and never otherwise. If he
dies there, by the side of Christ and
for the same reason, no one need ev-
er question about the "welfare of his
soul"
There is no sentiment in the trench
es. Mr.. Mari put it tersely. "When
you see your own home menaced,
your wife and babies killed, or the
home of your neighbor attacked by
mad and unreasoning beast, you
think of but one thing: Kill the
beast. There is no sentiment about
it. It's a plain business proposition.
Either you kill the beast or it kills
you. Finish the job, and whatever
sentiment you have about it can come
on later. Fighting Hun beasts is a
job. 1t is so serious that you do not
dare take it seriously. If you should
stop to be serious about yourself on
the brink of No Mans land you would
go mad. So you sing, and smoke and
play, and laugh-and you fight like
free man ought to. "-Kingman

KANSAS is TAKING THE THIRD
STEP

Two big steps in the progress of
Kansas have been taken in the Pro-
hibition and the Woman Suffrage
amendments. There is not as much
hurrah being made about the third
big step as there was about the 9TH
ers. Everybody is out to beat the
kaiser and that is the main business
now.
But the two amendments to be vot-
ed on November 5th concern efficient
Americanism. One of them prohibits
any one but full citizens from voting.
The other is the third step in the
states progress. 1t provides for a
permanent income for the state
schools under the direction of the
legislature,-a plan sixteen other
states have adopted.

The amendment takes the state
schools out of politics.
Kansas has long held that funds
for common schools and high schools
be set aside and held sacred. The
amendment permits the legislature to
set aside in similar way the money
for the state schools so it too may be
held sacred. 1t will permit them to
economically and efficiently provide
and plan for the future as we'll as the
present.
