MAKE YOUR SHOES
 WEAR LONGER

Ten months ago, W. Fl. Kelley. a lumber salesman of Omaha, had 2 pair of shoes re-soled with Ne6lin Soles. Mir. Kelley does much walking and has worn these shoes constantly. He says they are still good for another ten months of wear"
 Good shoe stores carry Ne6lin-soled shoes in many styles for men, women and children. They cost you no more than shoes that give less wear. Ne6lin Soles are also available evefywheEe for re-soling. RemembeY-these soles afe created by science to be what soles should be. They are comfortable and waterproof-as well as long.wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaran- teed to outwear any other heels.

WE WEPT AND WALLED TWO
YEARS

The phrase "He kept US out of war;
did yeoman service in keeping Mr..
Wilson in the White House, and in the
last campaign was widely referred to
by his opponents in demonstrating
the innate hypocrisy of the man.
Temporarily it has been laid on the
shelf until once more the voters of
the country are called upon to pass
judgment upon their president. But
Mr.. Wilson's unctious phrases in
which he assures Parisians of his sem
timents for the sufferings of their
country and Belgium which impelled
us into the war recall his campaign
slogan of 1916 very wildly to mind.
The other evening in Paris Mr.. Will
son uttered the following words:
'1 beg that you will not suppose
that because a wide ocean separated
us in peace we were not in effect eye
witnesses of the shameful ruin that
was wrought and the cruel and I'M
necessary sufferings that were
brought upon you. These sufferings
have filled our hearts with indigna-
ton. We know not only what they
were, but we know what they signi-
fled, and our hearts were touched to
the quick by them, our imaginations
filled with the whole picture of what
France and Belgium in particular had
experienced.
"When the United States entered
the war, therefore, they entered it
not only because they were moved by
a conviction that the purposes of the
Central Empires were wrong and must
be resisted by men everywhere who
loved liberty and the right, but also
because the illicit ambitions which
they were entertaining and attempt
ing to realize had led to the practices
which shocked our hearts as much as
they offended our principles
1t must shame the face of every
true American to imagine the senti-
ments of the French when they heard
those words fall from the lips of a
president of the United States. Two
long years after the shameful ruin
and cruel and unnecessary sufferings"
had "filled our hearts with indigna-
ton" Mr.. Wilson allowed himself to go
before the people on a platform of
"He kept us out of war;" He is in
the White House now, and owes his
triumphal reception in Paris primarily
to that hypocritical phrase. What a
mockery to stand before his French
hosts and assure them of his SYM
pathy for their sufferings!
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-01-03
WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING3

In the last two national elections
neither of the two great parties men
toned government ownership in its
platform.
Yet it is a fact that there has been
a strong trend towards government
ownership policies in affairs at Wash
ington of late.
We do not seem to know precisely
where we are going to head in, but
the people will want to know before
they go much further.
The political situation reminds us of
the popular ragtime: eve don't know
where we're going, but we're on our
way"
1t is time Tom, Dick and Harry
and Mary Ellen Jane were asking
themselves, shall we capitulate to the
socialistic germ of government owner
ship?
The socialist tell US property is
theft and big business is a crime, but
all the big criminals had to be called
on to help save the war situation.
1t is true there have been a few
jolts in the program, as when pink
whiskered Senator Jim Ham Lewis
was left at home by the old-fashioned
people of Illinois.
We have had taste of government
management of railroads, where costs
of all kinds of service have doubled
and deficits for operation are increas-
ing.
Compare government telephone
management in any community with
private management, and, beyond in
born American courtesy, what has re-
manned.
But the courtesy that has been
drilled into the telephone service I'M
der years of efficient management
is vanishing under paternalism.
The time has come to sit down on
the usurpations of collectiveism and
return to the good old fundamentals
of jefferson and Madison.
The saying that the people are gov
erned the best when they are gov
erned the least still has elements of
truth.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-01-03
RAISING THE RANGE FEES

The sheep and wool industry is
hard hit by the proposed advance in
range fees on the forest reserve.
There was an advance of rs per
cent in the range fees in 1917 and now
it is proposed to add another big in
crease in rates.
The charge for running sheep and
live stock on the forest reserves have
been profitable to the states and ma
ton.
There is no excuse for advancing the
charges at present when sheep and
wool prices are on the decline.
The only effect in the opinion of the
Idaho Wool Growers Association will
be to shut out the little herds.
Hugh Sproat, president of the Idaho
sheepmen, is authority for the state
ment that if the rates are raised there
will be none but 100000 head herds
in few years-a government mon
opoly.
He also says owing to unfavorable
labor conditions and range admins
tration there are a million less sheep
in Idaho than year ago.
This is time when sheep and wool
production are very much needed and
the industry should not be crippled by
arbitrary range fees.
