STRAIGHT GOODS,

For months there has been a little bunch of so-called "eenseienti tious objectors," men who thought SO lit- Gle of their country as to refuse to fight for it, making all kinds of trou- ble for the army officers.
 There have, too. been indications that these fellows had strong pull in Washington, and that those in au- thority were doing for them all they dared do, in face of public sentiment the sentiment of the fathers and mothers whose sons were taking the part of men and offering their all for home and country.
 And now, while most of the real men those who have not given their lives-are yet in the service-these poltroons have been granted honor able discharges and sent home.
 The Kansas City Star, a paper that has never wavered from the highest ideals of patriotic Americanism treats the subject about as near right as possible The following editorial should hold a place in American pa. triotic literature;
 IAN INSULT TO THE UNIFORM
 MT. Secretary Baker, you have or dered the immediate release of 11s men who had been mustered into the service of the United States, hut who had refused to fight.
 Have you considered the signif- canoe of what you have done?
 "The American people have just fought thru 2 great war. Millions oi men have put on the uniform and have risked their lives. A multitude have come home maimed and blind Other tens of thousands have made the supreme sacrifice and will never return
 ''These men have been fighting for ali that men hold dear They have been fighting for their homes, their women and children.
 "In contrast has been little group of slackers-of men who would not fight. If the Nation had been made up of them, if they had constituted even respectable group, Germany would now be supreme in the world. A nation of these conscientious ob- iectors would never have sent out the men who died on the Tuseania, who stopped the German rush at Chateau Thierry, who fell in the Argonne
 You have ordered 113 of them re- turned to the citizenship which they despsea which they refused to lift a finger to protect You have ordered them given an honorable discharge
 An honorable dischargel The same discharge given the man who has pared his breast to the German bull sets Under your order they will come baek-to vote and enjoy the priv
 eges that others laid down their lives % save.
 By this act you have put a pre- mum on cowardiee. You have re- warded evasion of duty. You are permitting these men to return to their homes even in advance of the fighting i men ef the camps
 "Can you believe. Mr Secretary. that in this action you have correctly interpreted the spirit of that Amariea which has given its sons und it's ail 70 The great cause of freedom ?"

Indications point to the appropria- tion of vast sums of money by the United States government for road building, this money to be divided among tho several states. As it is practically certain that Uncle Sam will go on tho plan of helping those who help themselves, it tebehooves Ar kansas to get in line. Few things are free, and the laggard in road building will be too slow to grasp Opportun- ity and reap prosperity.
