REPUBLICANS have but one idea now,
and that is to win the war. They have
nothing to conceal They wish to sus-
tain to the utmost those charged with
responsibility first, and above ALL our
armies in the field, then the Adminstra-
ton; but where there is inefficiency
delay, or wrongdoing. they will address
themselves to curing it withou, fear or
favor Republicans, unlike the Demo
Gratis. do not hesitate TO declare them
selves pnequivocally on vital issues
They do not seek to conceal their plans
from the voters at large. They are
working on the theory that they have
given pledges which they must keep,
and that it is their business to make
pledges for the future which must also
be scrupulously kept For the present,
their chief slogan is win the War
Now, but they do not forget other
peris which the nation faces Those
are certain to increase unless Demo
cratic doubt and dogma are cured by
Republican speed and certainty.

BULLY FOR PRESIDENT WILSON.

Our President says MOI to Austria's
peace coniab, Bully for him.
The only peace proposition to be con
sidered should be one of positive victory
and unconditional surrender.
II is h,nted that the American army
abroad is afraid of nothing but that the
government and people at home will be
shared into an mconclusive peace be-
fore American bullets and bayonets
have finished the job properly.
The best way to rid ourselves of this
peace bugaboo hailing from Germany
or her consents is to let it to a vote of
the American boys on battle front.
They have seen and experienced and
know what is right and proper.

TIE PUBLICITY CRAZE.

Declaring that the administration is
in the throes of an epidemic of useless
publicity Representative Walsh Of Mass
achusetls last Saturday sharply assaulted
the waste Of paper by various branches
of the government while the newspa-
pers of the country are being forced to
adopt the most drastic measures Of con
servatiou ever conceived, with the like
ihood OF forcing out of existence many
newspapers the real value of which to
the government in these strenuous war
times is worth considerably more than
this extravagant bureau.
