Chairman Will H. Hays, of the
Republican National Committe:
1t has been said that his pres
ident Wilson's) name will go
down in history linked with that
of George Washington. will
say that it was g wise bird who
picked o 1T the steamship on which
President Wilson sailed. +"
Even a partisan like Mr.. Hays
ought to feel shame at the nasty
implication in that fling, Does
he think that the average Ameri-
whatever his political creed
will brook, much less enjoy, an
attempt at joking about the possi-
BILE drowning of the President?
Taking it's cue from Mr.. Hays,
seemingly. a sheet issued by the
Republican National Committee
reproduces from the Salt Lake
Herald, a Republican organ, a
crude but intensely malicious dia-
tribe, of which President Wilson
is the subject. One extract from
this effusion will further exempli-
fly the animus and tenor of the
Presidents critics. Under the
title, king of the World" the
President is made to say:
"Chin music hath power to stir
the savage beast and my records
are now being played by Lenine
and Trotzky. The ape and the
anarchist understand my philos-
ophy better than people who at.
tempt to gain knowledge from
books and newspapers. I" !.
Ifrepublican orators and news
papers are unable to be fair, can't
they make an effort at least to
be decent?

In a communication from the
German government TO the Peace
Commission, protesting the terms
but signifying their purpose to
sign. the Minister of Foreign
Affairs writes: mo act Of vio-
lence can touch the honor of the
German people. To which all
the world will agree. 1t would
be impossible to touch their hon
or with a diamond-point power
drill. A people that delights in
crucifying babies, rayishing de.
fenseless women, ruthlessly mur.
dering or manning the aged and
children, and violates every law
of civilization. hardly needs to
mention that whatever the terms
they cannot affect the honor of a
Hun. The Hun issimply a NOR
al degenerate, a curse to the
world and forgotten Of God. =

Loss Of Appetite

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and il
you skip meal or only eat two meals
day for a, few days, you will soon
have relish for your meals when meal
time comes, Rear in mind that at least
five hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach period of
rest before second meal is ta6en.
Then If you eat no more than you crave
and take reasonable amount Of out
door exercise every day you wiz not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose of
Chsmbereip's Tablets will DO il, 2l,at

That influenza is transmitted
principally by the-pollen that es-
capes from weeds, flowers, hemp,
etc., is the theory advanced by
physicians of Ell Paso, Texas,
who have requested the city
council to designate a Weed
Day." when all citizens are to
be required to cut down weeds
on their property and thus re-
duce the chances for another
epidemic of influenza. This ad-
vice might be carried out sue
cessfully by every town in the
Gila valley having a Weed
Day." Whether it prevents in
huenza or not, it is a ssaa idea
to get rid of the weeds.

ARIZONA WINS FIRST PLACE

The State of Arizona leads all
the states in the Union for en-
rollment in vocational home eco
nomics. In the Vocational Sum-
mary, the organ of the Federal
Board of Vocational Education,
for the month of May, appeared
diagrams showing the standing
of the-various states in the Union
in enrolment per population in
vocational agriculture, vocational
home economies, and the trades
and industries for the year end
ing June 30, 1918. Utah leads
the country in agriculture. and
Arizona is eighth ahead of agri-
cultural states such as Nebraska,
Kansas, Indiana, Wisconsin. In
the trades and industries, Ari-
zona is sixteenth on the list,
leading thirty-two other states,
among them California, and such
industrial states as New York,
New Hampshire and Maryland.
1t is in the matter of home eco
nomics that Arizona has outdid
herself. for in this particular
branch she leads all the states
in the Union.
1t is a matter of particular
pride to Prof. l. Colodny. former
State Director of Vocational Ed
ucation. that he managed to win
for Arizona first place in this
great work. 1t was not even
expected that Arizona would
rank anywhere with California
or Massachusetts, or New York,
but actually she has had enroll
ment in her class rooms per pop
ulation a greater number than
these states.
This year which is just closing
there were enrolled 1888 stud
ents in vocational work. This is
more than double the number
that was enrolled last year.

WORLD WAR HAS ENDED

The world war is over. With
the signing of the peace treaty
in Paris Friday, the most hor.
rible war in the history of the
world came to an end. Now
comes reconstruction and the
building up Of the industries OF
the world.
Inthe United States. the great
est period of prosperity in every
line of industry has begun. The
big opportunity for the success
of the nations industrial life has
arrived and it is now up to every
American to see that II 10 full
filled.
Germany signed the peace
pact, but did so n bad grace,
but the rest of the, world will
not worry over Germany. She
will be mades to come through
with every condition imposed on
her by the treaty.
There will be no need now for
the pro- Germans in the Senate
to waste any more time in sym
pathy for Germany. They can
not help her now by fighting the
ratification of the treaty and the
United States cannot afford to
be the only ,sonntry in the world
opposed to universal peace.

More than $22o, ,Qe9,a99 has
been loaned to farmess by the
Federal Farm Land Banks, at 1
low rate of interest and on long
terms. Prior to the passage of
the Farm Loan Act, farmers paid
from 8 to Is per cent for short
term loans. Yet republican hos
tility to anything accomplished by
democrats is SO intense that a re-
publican congressman would en-
empt the Farm Loan bonds from
taxation, destroy the system and
restore the farmers to the clutches

FAIR WORDS, PARTISAN DEEDS

Acting as partisans, though all
the while disclaiming the mo-
tives and seeking to escape the
odium of partisanship. republican
leaders in congress are opposing
the League of Nations and sig
mailing to the members of their
party to join them in the fight.
Their pretentions and disclaimers
are as insincere as they are
specious.
Senator Lodge, speaking in the
senate, announced that the rati-
fication of covenant of the League
us not a partisan question, and
never was," but his actions have
been in constant contradiction of
his professions. He fathered the
round robin" which was signed
only by republican senators. He
called a conference of republican
senators at the beginning Of the
present session of congress to
formulate a program of opposi-
tion to the League. He helped
to pack the Foreign Relations
Committee. which is to consider
the League, so that it's member
ship is preponderantly republi-
can. He collaborated with Sena-
tor Knox in the introduction Of
the latter's resolution demanding
separation of the covenant of the
League from the treaty of peace.
The hackers of this demand in
Foreign Relations Committee
were all republicans.
Republican reactionaries in the
senate have shown by every sign
and token that they are opposing
the League with party animus,
by partisan means and for parti-
san advantage. Mr.. Lodge is
the promoter and spokesman of
this policy; which proves, in
spite of all his disclaimers, that
he and his rsaetionary followers
would make the League a parti-
san battlecry.
There are exceptions to this
rule of republican antagonism in
the senate. Several senators Of
Mr.. Lodges party-but not Of
of his faction-are supporting
the League without ceasing at
the same time to be republicans.
Outside of the senate there are
scores of thousands of republi-
cans who advocate the, League
and want all discussion and con-
Isideration of it kept free from
political and partisan bias. They
cannot understand why republi-
can senators cannot be as free
from partisanship as q former
republican president-Mr. Taft
has shown himself to be.
Chairman Hays is now en-
deavoring to convince the public
that he and other official repre-
sentatives of his party do not re-
gard the League of Nations as a
partisan issue. His chief diff
Guilty, however, will be to per-
suade Senators Lodge, Knox and
other robins" that no such un-
worthy use be made of It.
