So long as the present editor OF
this newspaper directs its policies
the public good shall be the first con-
Germ of its utterances. We shall at
tack no mans private character, in
wade no mans domestic tranquility,
nor shall we magnify trifles or be
uncharitable to honest mistakes, but
wherever we candidly believe the
public's interest is involved the pub
lie shall have the hearing, however
unpleasant the event to those per-
sonally involved. The man or wo-
man from whom the public has just
right to expect service shall have no
just grievance against the utterances
of this paper as long as that service
is performed with reasonable de-
gree of diligence. We may make
mistakes, our judgement may at
times be at fault, but we owe du-
ty to the public we serve that we shall
conscientiously perform without
the consequences.
We are not complaining at criti-
cism. We rather invite it. Crit

the Republican is for Miles, whether
he is right or wrong. If he should
steal flock of sheep, rob a grave or
run away with his neighbor's wife, no

charitably say that electricity plays

MAJOR SAM VI. WILSON
DEMOCRACY'S LAST HOPE

| The Lexington Herald, the most
influential Democratic newspaper in
Kentucky, outside of Louisville, is Of
fering Major Samuel Wilson, of that
city, but now in France, as the last
hope of Democracy for a guberna-
torial candidate. 1t appears that the
I Herald. like many other Kentucky
Democrats, is not satisfied with the
trio of candidates already announced,
and clamors for a new Richmond in
the field The Herald admits that
Cherry, Black and Carroll each fills
part of the bill. but that Major Will
son fills all of it.
In warning the Democratic party
against the breakers ahead the Herald
says:
The last gubernatorial campaign.
between Governor Stanley and Mr..
Morrow, revealed the fact that had
been previously often denied by Dem
ocrats, though apparently revealed by
previous races, that Kentucky is a
doubtful state. Governor Stanley
was elected on the face of the returns
by scant majority of less than 500.
1t was charged by many. believed by
some, that the result as announced
was not in accord with the votes ac-
tually cast. But even though this
charge is unrcunded. the margin was
so narrow that the Democrats can
hope assurance OF victory in the com
ing race only by nomination of a cam
didate who viii command the support
of Democrats of all factions and a
majority of the independent voters OF
the State.
The lessons Of the gubernatorial
campaign of 1915 were made more
impressive by the county races of
1917. Had there bean a State race
in 1917 and the vote cast for county
officers been cast In the State race
as II was cast in the county races,
there would have been a Republican
majority.
In the senatorial campaign Cover
nor Stanley won by a decisive ma
jority. after Il campaign in which no
speeches were made, no meetings
held, no parades staged, because of
the influenza ban. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion of those most fami-
liar with political conditions, that
Governor Stanley's victory was due
to the combined effect of the flu in
the mountains and President Wilson's
letter issued on the eve of the cleo
tion. 1t is a very sanguine Democrat
who will permit the result of the sem
atorial election i'm 1918 to outweigh
the result of the county elections OF
1917 and the State election OF 1876 IN
reaching a conclusion as to the prob
ability of the result OF the guberna-
torial and legislative contests OF
1919.
Considering the results OF these
three years, 1t is incumbent upon ey-

SENATE POT BOILING.

On ship in mid-ocean the President
asks the Senate not to discuss his
League of Nations project until he
arrived to advise them about it. But
the Senate does not wait, and lead
ers of both parties in that body do
not hesitate to confess to opinions of
their own. Ii is clear now what the
Presidents pet scheme is scheduled
for rough shedding. Senator Borah
hasiset a new precedent by declining
to accept an invitation to luncheon
at the White House, at which the
President is to lay his scheme before
members of the Senate. and Senator
Nardaman. of Mississippi, voices his
opinion of the Presidents course in
positive and vigorous language. In
discussing the President and his mea-
sure in the Senate Tuesday Senator
Nardaman said:
THE proposal would carry the
United States into unexplored re-
gions of diplomacy" and that it will
test the capacity of the American
people for solf-government and the
preservation of the American consti-
tuition" He added:
have no sympathy with the sug-
gestion made by the President that
discussion by the Senate should be
postponed until he comes home. II
the President had thought more Of
America and her institutions and
cared less for the triumph of his per-
sOnal ideas and efforts he would have
said to the American people; Discuss
this measure, vivisect, anaiyze It;
tear it TO pieces and find out every
possible defect, for it is only by the
attrition of ideas and friction of sug-
gestions that the truth-the eternal
truth-will be discovered"
No Man All-Wisc.
mo man possesses a corner on all
the wisdom and patriotism in this re-
public; all men are fallible, and to
ask this Congress to withhold its
criticism of the League of Nations un-
til the President returns from Europe
is on par with the wisdom and pru-
dence of advice given to the man who
is starting out on a journey through
the wilderness beset by savages and
wild beasts to arm himself first with
a sufficient amount OF chloroform to
soothe his happiness and drive out Of
his soul all apprehension or fear"

Mr. Robinson laid the entire case
before the managers of the loose leaf
business and the buyers who were in
attendance. II is understood that one
or two of the managers, whose fig
ures were questioned. said that IL a
mistake had been made in the re-
ports given out for publication it was
of clearical nature. and not inten-
tional for the purpose of boosting

Supervisor OF sales b. Il. Stroud
was intrusted TO check up the sales
Of all of the loose leaf warehouses

Those in charge of the meeting de-
ciined to furnish the Messenger a

Soiled Hands and Full Purse Appeal
RI Girls


Washington, d. C.-Gone are the
days when the girl refused to con-
slider a job that meant wearing work
ing clothes and soiling her hands.
This is one of the lessons the war
has taught American women, as
shown by data compiled by the en-
ployment division of the department
of labor.
Into the~shops, the mills and the
shipyards the girls have gone, coming
out at night tired but happy, with
the satisfaction that only good
days work we'll done will bring
more money than they ever earned
before.
A typical example of the new
woman came to light here. A girl
applied for work in one of the great
machine shops that have cropped up
near the capital since the war began.
She has told that the job was dirty
even greasy" in fact.
The girl didn't look as if she had
ever met the acquaintance of hard
work. The examiner thought she
would turn away and seek some
mice" position.
But she didn't. She took the job
made good from the start and at last
accounts would soon command $50
a week.

be held up through a referendum
vote of the people on the concurrent
resolution approving his amendment
are without grounds, in the opinion
Of Representative o. B. Burtness of
Grand Forks, one Of the constitutional
authorities of the present assembly.
Interviewed last evening, Represen-
tative Burtness expressed the opinion
that under article Is Of the constitu-
ton a referendum could have been
had on the North Dakota resolution
~ratifying the federal amendment with
in ninety days after the special ses-
sion Of 1918, at which time that reso-
luton was adopted. The period in
which referendum action could have
been taken, however, expired months
ago.
1t is Mr.. Burtness' opinion that ar
in this case in the same manner In
which it would govern any other leg
islative act. Under article Is a petit
ton could have been filed within
ninety days from the adjournment OF
the special session of 1913, at which
North Dakota ratified the federal
amendment. If signed by ten per cent
of the legal voters of the state from
a majority of the counties.
Under the league amendment to the
constitution ratified yesterday after
noon, 1000 electors at large could
have referred this resolution to a vote
of the people. AS the matter nov
stands, however, the action of the spe'
cial session of 1915 is final, and the

Offers To Give Foe
Prisoners Hot Meals
Brought Results

London, Jan. ia story of pro-
naeanda that proved a boomerang has
reached London from France. In n
closing stages of the war When the
| Germans were surrendering in large
numbers, a British intelligence officer
was greeted by a group Of prisoners
| with cries of "Hot meal! hot meal!
The officer showed surprise. u the
Germans continued to shout. Hot
neal" and rub their stomachs.
Nothing doing in hot meals" the
officer replied.
Thereupon the Germans pulled out
leaflets carefully hidden away in their
clothes, and cried, "Ticket for hot
meal-ticket!"
The leaflets. apparently distributed
from the air, informed Fritz that if
he came in and surrendered he would
get a hot meal.
In brief, military language the Brit
ish officer. told the Germans that he
knew nothing of the origin of the
leaflets and that there must be a mis-
take, but the Germans came back
with:
"Englishmen always keep their
word. Hot meal! Coupon for hot
meal"
According to the story, nothing re-
manned for that British division but
to set to worklat once and prepare hot
food for the hungry prisoners stream
ing in, thereby considerably slowing
up the advance at that point Of the
line.
