THERE Is. "A REASON.

The votes counted, England decides
by big majorities to keep Lloyd George
and his party in power.
President Wilson will get Lloyd
George to tell him how he does it. This
country celebrated the wars successful
ending by putting Nh. Wilson's party
out of office.-Chicago Herald Exam
liner.
When Lloyd George tells the presi-
dent how he does it, he will impart the
following valuable information:
I'm the first place, Mr.. Wilson, | did
not seek to gain political capital for my
party from the war, nor did my lead
ing supporters seek such unfair advan-
tage. l made support of the war poll
cies of the government paramount, leav-
ing entirely to the people to choose as
between loyal candidates. / didn't, for
instance, insist that leader of my par
ty who had opposed CONSUMPTION should
be elected over and above a leader of
the opposing party who had supported
conscription. Nor did just before the
armistice was signed insist that woman
suffrage was necessary to win the war
and then few days later demand that
the very representatives Of the people
who voted against woman suffrage
should be reelected over and above the
representatives of the people who had
voted for it. Nor did play politics in
sections of my country where the
strongest pro-German sentiment exist
ed, selecting men who had been paci-
fists whom l might use as rubber
stamps and asking their election over
and above men who had proven stead
fast and loyal from the start. More
over, Mr.. President, ! have pushed the
policy of appointing men of the oppos-
ing political party to important posi-
tions of political influence and some of
the members Of my opponent party will
be honored with seats at the peace con
ference. l have also taken parliament
into my confidence, consulted with
them, asked their advice and then, in
some instances, acted upon that ad-
vice. ] have tried to be fair to men
of all parties and all political beliefs
and have not sought to escape criticism
by having special laws enacted. Here
in England there have been no party
lines drawn in war activities and il my
party leaders would tell the people to
vote for this or that candidate for Office
because the commander-in-chief asked
it, would resent it openly and public
ly rebuke the offender. The commander
in-chief of the armies of Great Britain
would not think of permitting the use
Of his position for political gain. Nor
did assume, nor did my friends insist,
that my party had won the war
These, Mr.. President, are a few of
the reasons why the government. veri

1t would be quite. a joke OH the
administration, after sidetracking
Gen. Wood through fear that he might
win such distinction in France that
he would be swept into the white
house, to have the mantle of popu-
larity fall with such force upon Gen.
Pershing as to compel that gentleman
to accept the presidency. THE best

That the United States government
takes exceptionally coed care of its
soldiers, better than any other gov
eminent in the world, has been proven
by the record made during the past
twenty months. According to state
ments made by the national woman's
liberty loan association, treasury de-
partment, Washington, the death rate
from disease has been only eight out
of every thousand men here and
abroad, notwithstanding the inroads
of influenza, and many of the soldiers
taken by that and other diseases
would have died haG they not been
in the army. This rate would be even
lower but for the number Of men who
came down with diseases to which
they were exposed before leaving
home. The average gain in weight

It doesn't help allay bolshevikism nor
restrain socialism for the king of Eng
land and the president Of the United
States to dine at table grooming under
the weight of $15,OOO,OOO worth of dish
es. Probably the president should not
be criticised for accepting the hospital
ity of the king, but the king ought to
have better judgment than to exhibit
such regal splendor and faunt such
vast wealth in the face OF the world in
times like these. The people are sick
and tired of show, of needless extrava-
ounces, of the glitter of tinsel in high
places, and want peace, simplicity
equality and justice

THE COWBOY

The city" is far behind.
The little small town of the plain
I'm away from its lights and its glare
In the darkness I'm free once again
And the music my pony hoofs beat
Der the trail that winds on and on,
Is the song that will last
Till our problems are past
And we shall have entered the dawn
This is the song of the night
This is the song of the stars:
1--WE have seen men struggle and flgh
We have witnessed thousand wars
And ever the night brings dawn,
And men begin ever anew,
We have faith in the night,
We have faith in the right,
We believe in the dawn and You.

The remedy for blatant anarchy is

ognzed No law should run against
political parties or social organiza-
lions. no matter how radical merely
because their views are distasteful.
Il is not the province of centralized
authority at Washington 10 pass upon

activities OF the people. But il is I'M
mistakably the right and duty of gov
eminent. national and state. TO hold

no party shall advocate murder. rios,
arson and robbery.

into the condition of the foreign mar
ket and the slaughter records of the
present winter, We find that there is
. good demand for all of the meat and
lard that We have, and that the un-
usual high killing record will leave
us at the end of the year with less
number of hogs on the farms than we
had last year. The killing records
during some Of the months of heavy
marketing ran as high as 38 per cent
Increase above the killing record for
the corresponding months of the pre-
cedins year, and we would expect our
present stocks remaining on the farm
to be somewhat lower than usual.
III We take the highest estimate of
Increased production. or Is per cent,
the total increase in pounds of pork
produced will still be considerably
short Of the estimated increased ex-
port demand: thus il we are able to
meet sthe export requirements, the
large supplies of pork products now
held by the packing companies will be
absorbed in the very early summer
and we will 60 into the next season

Again, the guaranteed price Of
$2.26 a bushel for wheat is undoubt
edly causing many farmers in the
spring wheat region to sell their hogs
now, with the expectation of planting
spring wheat instead Of corn. This
will have a tendency to lessen the
supply Of hogs next winter and spring.
and to make corn higher.
