FAIR HILLS PAID

A meeting OF the board Of direct
ors Of the Audubon County Agricul-
tural Society was sold last Saturday
afternoon at which time the bills
were audited and ordered paid. On
figuring mp all expenses It was dis
covered that the society would have
little more than $4,000 over and
above expenses. This 10 In addition
to the $1,000 the society will receive
from the county and will give them
practically enough money to pay for
the expense of building the hog
house. &.
Many other improvements are con-
templated for NEXT year, among
them Z cattle barn. This. however
may be- deferred until year later
IN order to permit the society to
make other improvements that are
more urgent.

clerks Office they can get the vouch-
ers which can be cashed at the Iowa

THE NAN WHO SAVED HIS SOUL

There was q cartoon in London
Punch early in the war. than which
one more truthful or impressive has
been produced during all the great
struggle. II pictured the King of
the Belgians standing amid his raw
ished and de6olated country, con-
fronted by the insolent and trump
ant German Kaiser, who reproached
him for his folly in not breaking
HIS faith and letting the Huns use
his land % base of attack upon
France. and England:
"so you see, you've lost every
"BUT NOT MY SOUL"
It was only the fancy Of q facile
artist; but It was the very truth of
everlasting history. BY his refusal
Of the German demand, King Albert
brought upon himself and upon his
country such woe and tragedy a. NO
other sovereign and nation have ever
known. But he saved HIS integ-
rity, his self-respect, his honor; In
3 word, His soul Saving his own
soul. he saved the soul Of Europe,
Of the world. II II an old story,
though because Of its truth It must
never grow Outworn, that through
the stubborn self-sacriflce Of Liege
the Huns were checked Just long
enough to- give France time to meet
them: that the first levies Of France
and England's "comntemptible lit
tie army" In turn checked them Just
.lone enough to give both those coun-
tries time to rally all their strength:
and that finally those countries at
awful cost held the line Of civilixa-
tion against barbarian Just long
enough to give siothfui and dilat0ry
America time to awake to her duty
and to hurl her determining weight
into the scale. But It all began with
Belgium. And II IL commentaries
~ true that the inecable moral and
spiritual uplift which reused human
ity against the Beast. had its initial
impulse in King Albert's heroic de-
eision to save hts soul. though he
should lose all the world.
We have welcomed home our own
returning heroes and their gallant
chief. We have welcomed the
pripcely priest who proved to the
world that the spirit Of Elijah at
Carmel and OF Paul at Epheusns still
lived and triumphed. And they
were worthy Of all that an appre-
ciative people could offer them. But
mo- warmth Of welcome, no splendor
Of pageantry; no blase of banners
and blaring Of massed bands, no
noisy acclaim Of multitudinous
tongues nor silent tribute of CRATE
full hearts. can be too great for the
desserts Of this later guest who
now revisits these shores.

Bella Kun.

Austria has been relieved Of an un.
welcome guest. Bella Kun, forme,
Hungarian dictator during the com.
munist regime, has escaped from the
internment camp at Vienna and fed
to Italy, where, it is reported, he Is
engaged in a revolutionary movement.
After Kun's flight from Hungary that
government demanded his extradi.
ton, which Austria refused for lack
of definite charge Of crime, which
was not forthcoming. It is by no
means unfair to suspect that the Aus
TRAN custody of this fugitive was not
particularly strict. Doubtless, Aus.
tria is glad to have the responsibility
for him shifted to Italy, especially as
he Is evidently aiming at making
trouble for Austria's former enemy.

ulns. Yet there are IN the National
Capital scores and hundreds who,
glimpsing the significance and beauty
Of the soul Of America, plead wistful-
~ for the opportunity to be taught
to understand and cherish the country
they would call their own.
An opportunity is at hand for mate
rally increasing the limited facilities
Of the District for answering their
plea. A drive for $4,000 with which
a permanent community house shall
be founded is to be launched on Tues
day. This institution will carry on
the communal service which has been
conducted az civic war work in old
Trinity Church and the parish house
next door. AUGMENTATION, pure and
simple, is to be but one Of the many
excellent functions Of the house, yet
there is none of them which does not
largely further the work of making
all men, women and children who en-
ter It's doors better and more useful
Americans.
There is no Washingtonian who can
excuse himself from the duty of fur
thering the work of Americanization.
The District of Columbia, the heart
of America, must stand, as it has ever
stood, as a splendid example Of all
that our country means. The Trinity
Community House drive must receive
every dollar necessary for carrying
forward the work it has in hand.

An American Community.

It has been correctly averred that
what the nation needs most in the
crisis Of this post-bellum period is
the triumphant assertion by all true
citizens of their fidelity to basic
American principles Of government,
and definite and vigorous campaign
to instill an appreciation and love of
those principles in those who, through
force Of circumstance alone, have
hitherto fallen short of the stature
Of complete patriots. So far the vital
trial of Characterization" has> not
been largely undertaken in the Dis
trict. 1t has been pushed by its
earnest advocates by every means
within their power-but the means
have been too limited. Washing

A Time for Sanity.

"Oh, for a few days Of real sanity
says Secretary Lane, expressing belief
that a new industrial conference
should be called to take up the vita.
problems abandoned by the old one
at. its disruption.
It is plea that hits at the very
root Of present troubles. Large ele
ments of the population are afflicted
with a madness; they have lost thei,
perspective and sense of values. They
are digging away at the foundations
Of American industry, threatening te
bring the structure topping at time
when America has before it the great
est industrial opportunity that evel
came to any nation. That the destroy
ers would be buried in its ruin is nc
adequate recompense for the threat
ened destruction of SO splendid an
edi6ce.
By all means let the President sum.
mon a new industrial conference
made up Of less contentious elements.
Both capital and labor should have
representation, but those chosen to
represent them should be called in
dividually as American citizens and
charged that their first responsibility
is to the republic and the people as a
whole. No room should be made for
the special pleaders Of special in
terests, paired off against spokesmen
for opposing interests. That was the
rock upon which the original confer.
ence went to pieces.
1t is apparent now that those chosen
to represent capital and management
were not, as group, truly representa-
tive Of the great majority of Amer.
lean employers. It is equally apparent
that the members Of the labor group
were committed to trade unionism as
a first article of their faith, and that
the great mass Of unorganized labor
received little if any real considera-
ton from them. And right there was
a formula for almost inevitable fail
ure, as seen now in retrospect.
The conference just ended SO barely
missed = big accomplishment that
there is every warrant for another
trial. Anything which it was possible
might have been done by a conference
made up of three groups with obliga.
tions to separate interests can be done
by a single group with a single re-
sponsibility. Very probably it can be
better done, for the task can be ap
preached without suspicion and should
be pursued without self.seeking.
If the new conference can do nj
more than lay before the Presiden
and Congress and the nation com

iation and arbitration, It will NOR
than justify the calling Of it. It vii

goal Of better relations between tn,
workers and those for whom the,

New York and Factionism

Gov. Smith of New York and Will
liam Randolph Hearst are at outs.
Until recently they were friends. Mr..
Hearst helped to put the governor in
Office.
Tammany stands with the governor.
He is Tammany man. But it is no
new thing for Tammany and Mr..
Hearst to be at outs. Indeed, they
are oftener at outs than at ms.
Mayor Hylan has not as yet be-
como involved. But the atmosphere
is such that he may. The weight of
opinion is that if he enters the row
it will be on the Hearst side. His
relations with the publisher are close.
What effect the shindy will have on
next months election is a question.
But that question is Of minor i'm
portance ~ compared with the ques.
ton Of next year. If the New York
democrats get seriously snarled up
among themselves now, what assur-
ance will there be that the wrinkles
can be ironed out before presidential
election day 1920i
New York has no candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination
unless former Secretary McAdoo is
entitled to the designation. He is a
resident Of the state, and regarded
as an aspirant White Houseward. If
the Presidents illness results, as some
think it will, in taking him out of
the calculations for next year, Mr..
McAdoo will undoubtedly figure in
the question Of the succession. There
has been a tentative McAdoo boom
for year or more.
But, as New York's candidate, Mr.
McAdoo will not be helped, if at the
national convention his rivals are able
to point to the New York democracy
as torn with factionism. Questions
will be asked as to his attitude to.

does he incline to either factioni
It will be remembered that New
York was faction-torn at Baltimore
in 1912. Tammany favored Champ
CLARK, while other New York influences
favored Woodrow Wilson. This caused
some cross-fring, and strengthened
Mr.. Bryan when he attacked Tammany
and threw his influence to Wilson.
There are men of the opinion that
Tammany's support at q national con
vention is not desirable. The organ
ization does not stand well with the
national democracy. In a nationa
campaign democratic leaders use Tam
many, but do not respect it. Mr.
Bryan three times accepted its supper,

in 1912 did not hesitate to swat It be-
tween the eyes; and practically hi

there is a question as to whether Mr.
McAdoo will cotton to Tammany, o,
care very much to have Tammany cot

POLITICS AT HOME
The State Campaigns.

The state elections are only weel
away. More than the usual off-yea1
interest is showing In all the cam
paigns, and the registration promise.
more than the usual off-year pollings
Much interest attaches to New York
New Jersey, Massachusetts,, Maryland
and Kentucky. All are being well
canvassed. Stumpers abound. No com
plant is heard about lack of cam.
paign funds. Presumably, the people
are putting up. Diligent and per
suasive collectors cannot find it diff
dcult to coax coin from the pocket.
Of the faithful these days. Everybody
Is thinking, and the great majority
talking, politics, and when the people
are aroused they are liberal centribu.
tors.
There is no indication Of q land.
slide anywhere. The local managers
of the two old parties are very busy
and employing many of the old party
cries.
The socialists are nowhere much in
evidence. They arc not boasting, a.
in 1916. They probably have nothing
to boast of. Divisions have appeared
In their ranks, and their leaders are
all snarled up.
The republicans are in control in
New Jersey and Massachusetts, the
democrats In Maryland and Ken
lucky. In New York a democrat sits
in the governors chair, while the re-
publicans control the legislature. Tam.
many controls the metropolis.
1t is easy to say that if tho re.
publicans hold their advantage in New
Jersey and Massachusetts,, and make
heavy gains in, if they do not carry,
Maryland and Kentucky, they will be
greatly heartened for next years con.
test. They will read in such returns
a repetition of the spirit that was
manifested last year, when everything
came their way. A third manifesto
ton will be natural expectation.
On the other hand, if the democrats
hold their advantage in Maryland and
Kentucky, and mako gains in New
Jersey and Massachusetts, they will
see in the returns a reaction from
the spirit that was shown last year,
and promise of another success next
year.
And yet calculations either way will
Ehe risky. The situation in the coun-
try is such as to puzzle the average
observer and discount prophecy. A
year is an age. Who may say what
next years paramount issue will be (?
Who may say that any of the men who
today appear promising and attrac-
tive as presidential possibilities will
by next convention time have a look
in for party leadership On the dem
ocratic side, Mr.. Wilson until quite
recently was the best bet, almost the
only bet. But things may happen in
the coming eight months which may
affect even his strong fortunes, and
make third nomination inadvisable.
The times are such that nearly any
thing may happen.
