HONEST BEN PANKEY

The splendid state wide support nc.
corded Benjamin F. Pankey on his
first appearance upon the republican
state ticket is a fitting tribute to
a true and successful builder of the
southwest.
Mr.. Pankey knows and under
stands the people of this part of the
country intimately. He appreciates
all the difficulties that hamper the
poor man, and beset the man who
has accumulated a portion of this
worlds ~goods--for Pankey has been
very poor, but by honest toll and
fair dealing has become exceedingly
well to do. His and habits
are as simple today as when he frs.
settled in the little hut on a claim
on the grassy plains of central
Kansas.
Mr.. Pankey will greatly assist the
farmer and live stock grower by his
advise on legislature matters for
he will certainly be consulted by
the member. of the senate, over
which he will preside, and every
member of which is his personal
friend. when such matters are being
considered.
The Record knows that Honest
Ben Pankey" will make good as
lieutenant governor and homes and
fully expects to be supporting him
for chief executive at a coming cleo
ton in the not very distant future.

BE PLEASANT

Most Of the joy of life is in the
contact with pleasing personalities.
A crouch is worse than a rainy
day in December.
All of which brings us to the man
on the job, who is trying to get
ahead.
There isn't a business anywhere,
worth working for, that won't pay
a premium for a smiling face and a
governable temper.
Business to-day is totally a matter
of cooperation.
There isn't room for the soul in
dividual who can't work unless he
has a private cave, cut off from
human contact.
Just doing our little job we'll, isn't
enough.
We must do it eheerfully and with
. smile.
If we don't we Will interfere with
others, make it harder for them to
do their work, all of which 10 un.
profitable.
The reason for this is clear:
All of US have worked over and
under men and women with dispose
tions that pricked US like thorns.
When they passed Jul way the sun
went under a cloud. Our production
dropped. If they were subordinates,
we fired these misfits at the first
opportunity; If we were the subor-
dinates. We quit at the first chance
to get another job Of equal pay.
J. H. Foster, president Of the Hy-
draulic Pressed Steel Company, do.
ing a business Of thirty millions a
year, says he has found that when
a man stops smiling his production
falls. The rule is so invariable, he
hat he has installed a sys.
tenn whereby these cases are inves.
and a remedy sought.
But the point we want to make
is that the man on the job
a progress faster with a smile
than without one; in other words,
it pays to b. pleasant. courteous,
and agreeable The Neighbor.

WHY A HUGHES REPORT?

In his report Justice Hughes re.
commended that Col. Deeds. forme,
chief of the equipment division Of
the Signal Corps, be tried bv cour,
martial for conveying confidential
information to his former business
partner in the Dayton Wright Air
plane Company, and for making
false and misleading statements with
respect to the progress of aircraft
production" The evidence in sup
port of those charges, Mr.. Hughes
suggested should be placed in the
hands of the Secretary of War for
use in the court martial proceedings.
But all this appears to have no eff
feet whatever uuon Secretary Baker.
He intima'es that nothing will be
dore until the War Department has
conducted an inquiry of its own 1t
is evident that action AGAINST the
individuals shown bv the Hughes re.
port to be responsible for our air
plane scandal are to be projected
in every possible way by the ad-
mi%nistration. BY postponine pro.
ceedings against them. possibly until
after peace 10 an accumulated fact,
the peopIe will be permitted to for
get their d.relict;ons. and they will
quietly return to private life with.
out having suffered in any way for
the betrayal of their trust.

says that If German influence re.

The best method of stiffenine res

over Russia, effective until such time
as education and regeneration have

WHAT TO EXPECT

The recent arrival in New York
of l0,C00,0O0 pounds of toys bearing
the words, made in Germany, has
raised a tempest of expostulation in
that city. Richard M. Hurd. chair
man of the Boycott Committee of
the American Defense Society is
particularly hostile to the distribu-
ton of these toys throughout the
country, and he asks, shall Ameri-
can babies handle toys made by the
babykillers Of Germany" 1t is true
that these toys were purchased by
American importers about two years
ago., and have been held in ware
house in Rotterdam until this time,
but MI. Hurd suggests a possible
danger in this precedent when he
says: 1T is my sincere hope that
this will not set a precedent for .
flood of German goods to be sent
into this country from neutral oun

longer owned by citizens of Ger.
many, and, hence that the money
paid for them does not directly help
Germany" Mr.. Hurd then calls at.
tention to the fact that Germany has
equipped herself with stolen maehin.
cry, that her wi buildings and
lands are untouched, and that she
is in a position to supply the world
with cheap German goods while the
Allied countries are rebuilding their
industrial plants and transportation
facilities. The Republican party has
called attention to that fact, repeat
eddy. Cermany's one best bet for
recouping herself after the war. is
in a free trade American market,
and that is what President Wilson's
demand for a removal of economic
barriers amounts to. Germany could
utterly ruin the dye industry in this
country which has developed since
the war began, II she could profit
by Mr.. Wilson's plan. Hated by
Europe with a ferocity, perhaps, un-
known in the United States, her goods
being boyco.ted and her trade handi-
capned in European markets, how
gladly would she change the direc-
ton Of her export trade 10 this rich
country If the Democratic tariff
confirmed. But we can not
hope for tariff protection from Ger
competition so long as we t-v

ANOTHER JONES BLUNDER

Information from reliable Demo-
Gratis, shows up A. A. Jones, the
JUNIOR Senator from New Mexico in
a most u~nfavorable light. The report
is that Senator Jones Informed the
National Committee that Walton
Gid rot have a chance to be elected
and that it would be a waste %
money for the National Committee
to render any financial assistance
in New Mexico. The State Central
Committee learned what the trouble
was just before election. and by
acting vigorously, succeeded in get
ting a little help from the National
Committee. As a matter of fact. the
State Record believes that Walton
never had a chance; but the state.
ment was one which Senator Jones
could not afford to make.

more costly than unda~ any other
flag where Japanese, Chinese, Las.

employed as part Of the crews, using
the more highly educated men such
as American seamen in the more i'm.
operating the ships.
If these ships are to remain under
the American flag. and carry traf-
fic IN competition with those Of other
nations, some plan must be found
to eliminate this difference in cost
of operation in order that American
owners may compete under irterna-
tional conditions.
1t has been suggested that the
government pay the difference in
cost Of operation by ehartering yes.
