orally known and in some instances
not admitted by farmers, but a close
examination of the rye furnishes
conclusive proof.
It is conservatively estimated that
from 80 per cent to so per cent of
the wheat acreage has suffered for
lack Of moisture to such an extent
that this rain will have but little eff

TAKf GOOD CARE OF

Washington, Nov. 10 Speculative
short selling in cotton on New York

hibited today by the cotton distribu-
ton committee of the war industries
board Chairman Brand announced
the action, saying it is taken because
of undue short selling yesterday
which caused the market to fall two
cents.
New York, Nov. 13.-Cotton drop
ped $40 a bale in the market here,

terpret the peace situation in its rela-

attributed in part to uncontirmed re-
ports that foreign governments had
withdrawn buying orders, zsgetheT

LOST TIME TO BE MADE
up BEFORE YEAR ENDS

supt. w. A. Stacey has announced
that the time lost during the quaran-
tine will be made up at odd times
during the year so that schools will
close at about the regular time In the
spring. The Thanksgiving vacation
will be given as usual because of the
state teachers meeting at Salina, but
there will be only one week at Christ
mas season. The rest of the time
will be made up by continuing school
ON minor holidays on which it would
otherwise be dismissed. In Topeka
the plan Of adding an extra half hour
each day until the last Of February
has been adopted but it is thought
such a plan would not prove practical
here.

CLEAN UP MEXICO.

While we have an army that has
shown that it can fight there is one
task we should complete-clean up
Mexico. Right close on the south IS
a nation being run by a band OF
grafters and cut threats not much
better than the German autocracy.
villa is roaming the country killing
and robbing, we have to keep troops
on the border to protect our people
living there, the country is down
trodden, unsafe for business or for
white men.
Three years ago the United States
made ridiculous fizzle Of trying to
settle things. Instead Of finishing the
lob 1t hemmed and hawed and backed
up and evidently appeared to be afraid
of both Carranza and Villa. Finally
1t backed clear out and let things go,
much to the disgust of Pershing and
Funston. And since then Mexico is
is about the same condition as be-
fore.
Before the troops are released a
half million Of them could go down
and walk across Mexico, clean cut
its robber bands, establish order in
that country and set upa decent gov
eminent. Just give em a chance and
see-for if we do not do it now we
shall have to do 1t later The United
States will not stand it forever to
have such abominable government
conditions at our very door Let's
finish the job of making things decent
for decent people.

THURSDAY, NOV. IA, 1918.
PUNISH THE KAISER.

4 dream Of world dominion obsess-
ING the mind of Emperor William
plunged the world into war Upon
him and the tremendous military en-
zine of destruction of which he was
the embodiment, the exponent ana
the leader rests the responsibility OF
deliberately planning and bringing
about the greatest conflict the world
has ever seen.
II did not matter to the world that
tho Emperor's personnel share in the
swift events Immediately preceding
the war had been obscured. Inc
world convicted him of organizing
directing and maintaining at the top
notch of efficiency the great German
military machine IT remembered
that he signed the order for the Ger
man mobilization. 1t remembered
that he stood sponsor for the terror
ism and brigandage which, under the
guise Of warfare, ravished Belgium,
laid waste the cities Of France, de-
populated and outraged Serbia ana
sent the Lusitania with her freight OF
women and children to grave in the
Atlantic.
Civilization will never forget that
it was the minions of the Emperor
who officially shot to death Edith
Cayell. the English girl, who befriend-
ed the Belgians in Brussels.
Hanging is too good for him. IT
will be a keen disappointment to the
people Of the allied countries II ne Is
allowed to escape easily.

TAXES To STAY HIGH.
Will Cost More to Run Country After
the War.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Govern-
ment financial needs for many years
are almost certain to run above four
billion dollars annually, treasury ex-
perts estimate, and most of the money
will be raised by taxation. Conse-
quently financiers believe, the taxes
imposed last year and paid in June
probably will not be lightened mater
tally by the advent of peace.
Secretary McAdoo today warned
that taxes necessarily would be high
for many years to pay off war debts,
and that additional government loans
would be required. did not attempt
to forecast how big the volume of
taxes would be.

CARD OF THANKS.

The Republicans wish to extend
their heartfelt thanks to Woodrow
Wilson for his letter which recon
vened politics and made it possible to
elect a Republican congress.
When he declared that politics was
adjourned" the Republicans were
headed straight for defeat. When he
wrote his famous letter attacking
the Republicans and declaring that
only Democrats were patriots. 1t
started things and the people have
repudiated that letter.
So far his kindness is helping win
the election and making the country
safe for Republicanism. We wish to
express our hearty appreciation.
