the elections will go. The women
of California elected the president
on the sentiment: HE kept us out
of war; and some such democratic

the state over to democracy. 1t will
not be a safe theory that the women

Webster City Freeman-Journal:
Taxpayers who happen to own rail-
road stocks have pleasant sensa-
ton when their railroad declares a
good dividend, made possible by the
generosity of the United States gov
eminent, but taxpayers who have no
railroad stocks have an entirely diff
ferent sensation over the same cir
cumstances.

matters as asylum for refugees and

LONG ON PRUNEs.

The war department is reported to be plan
ming to sell million and half tons of prunes
which had been purchased for army use. We
trust this may be true. The prune is val
liable article of diet with which few families
have been cloyed of late, with prunes at twenty
to thirty cents pound. II our government
really has on hand thirty pounds OF prunes
apiece for every human being In America it can
not begin to market them too soon and should
not haggle over the price. For there are better
permanent investments Of the public money
than in pruns, the saleable life OF which, ike
the triumphing of the wicked, is usually short.
If it be the fact as stated that our war de
partment amassed this prodigious supply OF
prunes it cannot be criticised for lack of pre-
paredness In this line However short it was on
airplanes, machine guns, hand grenades and
other articles for which the need was great, 1t
certainly was tremendously long ON prunes, for
its supply figures out to seven hundred and fifty
pounds apiece for each one Of the four million
fighters called to the colors. AT sixty prunes
to pound and six prunes to serving, there
was prune provision for seven thousand, five
hundred meals for every soldier, OF one dish Of
prunes a day for over twenty years That this
was ADEQUATE for all conceivable contingencies
can hardly be denied. It was more than ample,
lit was magnificent; and it probably was, all
things considered, the most notable achievement
of the war department to have collected mil
lion and half tons of this nutritious, delicious,
Idemulcent delicacy in SO short time. We
might almost have licked the Huns ON prunes
had every other line Of fodder failed.
