HONORED FOR BRAVERY

years old and was an examiner in the

and il was the "booze" that turned the
trick In that country.
As TO propaganda. 1t is very douhe
full whether the United States could
have done anything since our entry In
to the war to prevent the catastrophe
In Russia. Before that time our neu-
trality would have made it impossible
for us TO use propaganda for or against
Germany. 1t should also be remem-
bered that the Germans have been u.s.
ing the propaganda in Russia for a
dozen years for the very purpose Of ac-
comprising the results that have been
so favorable to the Germans.

During the tendency of the war;"
is phrase which finds its way into
great deal of legislation that is pass
ed these days. No doubt when tive war
is over it will be found that some of
the legislation that has been enacted
with the phrase, and with the idea of
limiting 1t simply to the war, can be
made adaptable to future conditions
and will be continued The people
have no idea of the amount Of leglsla-
tlOn that has been written on the
statute books for the purpose of con-
Quoting the war against Germany.
This is an evidence that the United
States was wholly unprepared for war,
not only from military standpoint,
but also from legislative standpoint.
Even the president Of the United
States, who, as commander-ln-chief Of
the army and navy, is clothed with al
most unlimited power during a war,
found it necessary to have reams Of
legislation enacted In order to carry
on big foreign war.

There is very little complaint from
people about the cost of any mail serv-
ice, but there always is a great COM
plant when that service is not efficient.
For instance, outside of some of the
critics in big cities, no one complains
about the rural free delivery service
although it costs forty or fifty million
dollars more than it returns to the gov
eminent. Nor is anyone complaining
about the cost of Postmaster General
Burleson's experiment with air mail
service for the big cities. Rural COM
munitles do not want 70 curtail good
mail facilities for the city, but they
are insistent that they also get good
service. While it Is the ambition OF
the postmaster general to make the
postal department self-sustainlng, no
one seems to object If there Is a def
icit, particularly IL there has been
good service.

Are we going to keep politics out Of
the political campaign? Even the old
timers around Washington who do not
recall what happened in 1862 during
the Civil war, remember that in 1864
the political situation became very ex-
citing and the conditions In this coun-
try were much more serious than they
could possibly be under foreign war
conditions. So 1t is altogether probable
that this coming congressional cam
paign will see lot of politics.
Just barking back to some of the
special elections that have been held
since the United States entered into
thee war, it is observed that politics
were injected quite freely. This was
especially true in a New Hampshire
district, in the Indiana district, anC
also In the senatorial election In Wis
consin. The probabilities are that
there Is going to be a right lively po-
litical campaign, Notwithstanding some
attempts to postpone politics until af-
ter the war.

JEW IN HIGH COMMAND

Monash valley, one of the names
with which the Anzacs have enriched
the geographical nomenclature OF Gal
lipoli peninsula, was so called by the
men of an Australian regiment In
honor of their colonel, now Sir John
Monash, who has just been promoted
to the rank of lieutenant general and
placed in the command of a British
army corps in France.
Sir John Monash has the dlstinc-
ton Of being both the first Australian
and the first Jew to reach so high q
position in the British army. The dis
tinction is all the more notable because
he comes from outside the ranks of
the regular army. His promotion has
been won entirely by merit, personal
qualities and technical abilities. Mon
ash was born in Melbourne ON June q,
1865, and is thus fifty-three years of
age.
His first big fighting chance came
with tho AnzarS ThrouOhnut tho FOR.

Whatever else may happen 1t seems
almost certain that Moses p Kinkaid
will be returned from the Sixth district
Of Nebraska. Klnkaid is one of the
men that attend strictly to business all
tho time. He never bankers for adj
journment nor does he seem to think
it necessary TO so out and fix up his
fences. He is not much In evidence
on the floor of the house in the way
of @aking speeches, but he is generally
there when the votes are taken and he
has the reputation Of paying closer at
tention TO every demand on the part
of his constituents than any other men,
Der of the house. Kinkald was quite
a favorite with President Taft, who al
ways referred to him as "the sand-hill
crane from Nebraska" mainly because
Klnkaid represented partially arid
district.

One unfortunate feature of the talk
about immense profteering and graft
in connection with war work is that the
small CRATER Is always encouraged to
try to make something himself. Thus
1t happens that small dealers furnish
ing meat to the army and commlssary
sergeants enter into a combination to
get a little "rake-off." They seem to
feel that while others are making big
money out of the war they are entitled
to make their bit. One Of the fea-
lures of this grating is that 1t Is the
little fellows that get caught rather
than the big fellows.

HEAD OF GIANT BUSINESS

Who's Teagle? This was a ques-
ton generally asked when it was an
nounced that Walter Clark Teagle
had been chosen president of the
Standard Oil company Of New Jersey,
the worlds greatest oil refiners since
the disintegratiOn Of the original
Standard Oil company. Aside from his
business associates and personal
friends few had ever heard of Teagle.
He is only thirty-nlne years old, and
his success in life has been due to In
dustry and the careful training of his
mind in absorbing infinite detail.
In Cleveland, where he was born
on May /, 1878, both he and his fam
lily were known perhaps as well as any
citizen of that community.
Mr.. Teagle's father, who was Of
English birth, became interested In the
oil business and it was in his fathers
offices that Walter Teagle as a boy re-
ceived his first business inspirations
and instructions. He entered Cornell

Congressman Cox of Indiana took
occasion to show that the decennial
census for which there is constitu-
ilOnal warrant is much different
thing from what 1t was in the early
lays Of the country and we have gone
far afeld from q mere count Of the
people, which was the intention Of the
fathers Of the government. In the
EARLY years of the government the cen
sus consisted Of a count of the peO-
pie. Now 1t means a complete in
vestigation and survey of the whole
country as we'll as an enumeration Of
The people. OF course the main OBJ
ect is to ascertain the number Of peo-
pie and the result of the count is the
most interesting feature of the census.
No doubt the other facts are very val
uable, and the only fault to be found
In regard TO them Is that the statls-
ties are usually three or four years
old before they are finally completed

There is fear In the mind of Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois that the United

western front Of her own before the
war Is over. The Illinois senator told
his colleagues recently that IL Ger
many can completely overcome Russia
and form an army OF Russians to fight
on the German side. this army may
cross Siberia and enter North Amer
lea BY way Of Alaska. and then sweep
down on the Pacific Northwest. Sena-
tor Lewis suggested that the thing to
do In case of any such attempt would
be TO turn japan and China loose on
the enemy as they tried to cross 81
IBERIA. he expressed his belief that
the Asiatic nations not only could
halt the Hun. but could drive him from

Congress evidently wanted to get
through with Its work and get re-
ress If possible, for there never has
been such n speeding-up in passing
appropriation bills as during the past
two or three weeks. The sundry
civil appropriation bill which usually
takes some two or three weeks in the
house, was passed In two or three
days. After the senate had loaded
Il down with about billion more dol
lars 1t passed that body in a few hours.
On the same day the senate came
very near passing the S12,000,0000O0

is located at Camp Lewis, in the re-
mount depot, where horeshoers are
trained for service with every unit of
the Wild West division which has any

Fifty forges are constantly in use
at this great school where a class of
fifty men are engaged every day
learning how to make shoes, how to
attach them and the diseases of the

be made.
Six thousand horses and mules have
been shod in this school since its es-

starts in one end of the building and

From fifty to sixty horses are shod
