Annual Banquet
Is Called Off

The annual banquet which
heretofore has been given by the
enterprisina members of the Ka-
dota Commercial Club. and which
has been so thoroughly enjoyed
by people in attendance from all
over the county, was at a meet
ing of the Club held the other
night, postponed for this year.
While the Press regrets that we
will not be able to attend the
banquet this time, and there have
the opportunity to minele with
the business men and others from
all over the county, yet we must
say that the club is to be com
mcnded by patriotic people, for
the action of dispensing with
the banquet and donating the a.
timated cost 10 the different War
Funds. The Kadoka Commef<
Cldl Club has proven itself al1vt|
to every movement that goes fo
further the betterment of thu
community, and in thus giving
up the annual banquet and do
natlhG the funds to the different
charities, is just another added
proof of the loyalty of its mem
berS, to the cause which our brave
boys are fighting for over on the
European battle fields.
The funds are distributed as
follows.

Third Liberty Loan
Campaign, Feb. 10Th

OA5
Attorney A. G.. Granger of this
place informs the Press that the
campaign for the 3rd liberty loan
is expected t open in this county
sometime during this month.
We do not at this time know what
the allotment for our county will
be but hear that it will be around
the $4,000 mark. This is an in
crease of $4,000 over the amount
set aside for us at the last sale,
and for us to get by will
mean that every person in the
county will have to spread them
selves in taking on this issue.
The sum of $4,000 is quite sum
of money yet the patriotic people
of Jackson county should never
bat an eye and if they appreciate
the liberty and freedom they are
enjoying in the good old u. S. A.,
and, whether they have to Dor
row the money or not, should
subscribe for a bond when solicit
ed by any member of the COM
mittee who have been named to
manage the selling campaign.
There is no good excuse for any
of our citizens who have cash on
hand or good credit, not to buy
a good block of these bonds. The
money we are boarding up will
not be worth a tinkerS dream
should Germany be victorious in
the present war, and in furnish
ing the government with funds is
one of the great ways in assur-
ing defeat to the enemy.
Following we publish list of
the names of the gentlemen who
have been named to have full
charge of the coming campaign:

wrote on this subject last week. This

household of eight persons on three
pounds OF meat, to cover one whole
week. Shortage is, Of course, rela-

icsslcnal classes. who live on fixed in

But for week, in which, as the let
ters show, the particular home was
under several air raids, it does not
seem to me that three pounds Of meat
for eight people is an excessive allow
ance, even in war time. And for the
first time we have had to cut the ra-
tions of our home army. The labor
statement ought, therefore. to be taken
in the sense that we keep going-we
are not done for-but we only keep
going because you are. at much sacri-
flee. sending food for France. Italy and
ourselves. That also will be one of
Lord Readings many and anxious
cares. Tor he knows fully the serious
ness Of the position. For England it
is specially severe, because in the au-
tumn France and Italy actually had
food preference over us, while later
our rations lay icebound in your ports.

This Is Not Mere
British Perversity

You will now. perhaps, understand
that it is not simply British perversity
Which has led us into the present stu
alton. There are score Of nations.
associated for the first time in our one
great league. Some have had longer
experience OF world politics than
others: They all need to cultivate the
art Of cooperation. And the fear is.
at the moment, that Mr.. Wilson's peace
offensive may lose its efficiency be-
cause OF apparent dissension in Britain
and even in America herself. And here
must tell you that the recent vote in
the House of Commons on Mr.. Hollis
amendment was no criterion at all Of
feeling on President Wilson'S policy.
1t simply meant that Mr.. Asquith. for
the tenth time. did not permit the
llouse to turn Mr.. Lloyd George out.

that eco at least deliberately abstained

vino, obviously, did not wish to support
the government on this issue, yet were
reluctant to vote contrary. The d.
vision means, therefore, that, in the
House, there was an overwhelming sup
port Tor President Wilson, but that
members did not wish so to declare
this as to force dissolution. And
this, am certain, is the view of the
British people as whole, as it is, to a
remarkable degree, the view of the
French press. We want the President
to go ahead. We believe that his mes
sages are rallying labor, among the

Lord Reading
- Not NorthcliHe's Man

Without reViving irritation, let me
begin by recording as simple fact
that Lord Reading is not, as some of
your newspapers suggest, the nominee
Of Lord Northcliifc. The nomination
of Lord Northclitfc would have been
bestowed on somebody much nearer
home. That idea was impossible, be-
cause Lord Northclitfe. with all his fine
passion for winning the war and with
all his energy in many fields, holds i'm
periallst views which conflict with
much British opinion, including the
view of labor, and incidentally with the
official policy of this country, as under
stood by our Foreign Office. AS a
Conservative politician and chief pro-
prietor Of The London Times" Lord
NorthcliA'c has opposed Home Rule,
supported the brewers, backed up the
House OF Lords, denounced labor. re-
sisted land reform, and so on. | be-
lIevc that on many of these matters his
convictions have been modified Will

Their bigotry and fanaticsnl have no
equal in the whole of Europe; it may
be compared only with that of the say
ages in Africa. Can you fancy what
unbounded liberty means to such
hordes?

like to picture the Russian peasant as
the acme OF goodness and tenderness.

party. Some wanted to hyphenatc the
names of existing groups into some
such combination as Progressive Proh,
bition- Socialist. One name which
seemed for a long time to be in favor
was proposed by the Socialists, namely
Common Veal party, and it is said that

was present that within a week the
party would be known as the Common

was decided to hold larger conference
in Chicago. Matthew Hale, chairman of

chairman of the Prohibition party, and
Democratic League, constituted a
committee on invitations to invite the
twenty representative independents
and labor men and twenty single tax
advocates to join, with delegations
from the three major groups, in hold
ing thus conference, and John Spargo
vas authorized to prepare the draft Of
platform.
