WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Woman's power in America is we'll Illustrated by the thousands of women who entered almost ev- cry line of business to replace men who were drafted during the war. Health proved their strong est asset. Many women, however, developed weak, nervous condi- tions and could not stand the strain of a business life. Such women should remember there is one tried and true remedy in Ly- dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, which for 45 years has been restoring health and strength to the women of America.

ment. The conferences at London
were not sparring of yelled antagon-
lists, but the discussion with a single,
united purpose Of the problems of
peace. Out of them will come a peace
establishment founded on agreement
and good will, consequently one with
as fair prospects of success as present
chaotic conditions in Europe admit.
Europe's responsible statesmen are
cooperating with the President in
good faith and with unquestionad re-
spect for his counsel, and those he, e
at home behind his back whose petty
pickering and sneering do them little
credit as Americans, do not seem to
appreciate that if they succeed in
convincing Europe that Wilson speaks
only for himself, not for American
public opinion, as he processes to do,
when he returns successful they will
only have made it appear, so far as
their work goes, as personal victory
and not one for the United States
Topeka Capital.

We have been waiting patiently
now for several weeks to see what the
Roosevelt papers would have to say
about the investigation of the air
plane department, but have been dis
appointed. Those papers which were
so free in their charges of inefficien-
cy, ETC., have had nothing to say since
the Hughes investigating committee
made its report. When they found
out that the reason more planes were
not turned out for the U. S. was be-
cause the Allies had contracts for ma
terials which had to be filled, they let
up on their zone plane" dope without
any explanation and started out for
a new line of attack on the admins
tration. That is the unfortunate
thing about these great exposes" on
the part of the opposition. When an
investigation is launched they feature
all the charges, but if the charges
happen to elbow up" they never give
the people the result.

NEW NIGHT MESSAGE RATES

Miss Ada Carson, manager of the
local Western Union Office, announces
scale of greatly reduced rates for
short overnight messages, effective
January LIST. The new rates are cal
culated to develop new class of
telegraphic correspondence consisting
of short communications which should
not suffer the delays inseparable from
physical transportation in the mails
but which will not stand the higher
rates necessarily charged for the
longer night letters. The new service
known as night messages, is designed
to supplement and round out the
night letter service. The minimum
night message rate is zoe, and for 25c
ten word overnight messages can be
sent a considerable distance, while
the maximum rate is soc as against a
maximum of 81 heretofore charged.
The new rates should not only prove
boon to the business interests of
this city but lead to the same large
use of the telegraph in social cores
pondence that prevails in European
countries. Under the new rates mes
sages are strictly on a cash basis.

THE MATTER OF PAVING

After interviewing many of oul
leading business men we find strong
sentiment for paving, and unless we
are nightly mistaken before snow
flies next winter Kansas avenue will
be paved from the north to the south
side of town, Second street several
blocks in each direction, and possibly
several blocks on other streets and
avenues.
If there be opposition to the paw
ing proposition we have so far failed
to uncover it, every one with whom
we have talked being heartily in ia
vor of getting at it,
Paving is not such big proposition
as many would imagine. A few years
ago we investigated the cost of paw
ing and found that it would cost in
the neighborhood of 1925 per lot. Of
course costs vary in different com
munites, and it is more than likely
that the expense at the present time
would be greater than then, but
granting that such is the case no one
is going to be hurt seriously.
Paving bonds usually run ten or
twelve years, so if the cost amounted
to $500 per lot it would mean that
the taxes on that lot would be but
$25 per year, while the paving would
be a permanent improvement that
would bring many times its cost if the
property was to be sold.
Every year the city spends enough
on street work to make a substantial
payment on the paving, and still we
never have streets that are fit to

ENGLANp,s TRIBUTE TO WILSON

King Georges speech of welcome
to President Wilson was a model of
good feeling and good taste, his trib-
ute to the President evidently from
the heart, and descriptive. "Insight,
calmness and dignity" in the dis
charge of his duties, and breadth of
view and grasp of world problems,
with the mastery of lofty diction, "
well described an American President
in whom the nation is hOnored and Of
whose worldwide influence it is
proud. 1t is Americas good fortune
that leaders have been raised up for
it in all times of crisis, and it is plain
to be seen that history will reckon
President Wilson among the chief Of
them.
1t is impossible to follow the i'm
pressive welcome of the President in
England without feeling that it is
not mere courtesy, but that under
meath these expressions of friendli-
ness is a genuine purpose of agree

MAY DEFEAT LEAGUE

Reports from France indicate that
the speeches made in the United
States senate in opposition to the
Presidents peace policy are reprinted
in the European papers. The oppon-
ents of league of nations then use
these speeches in attempting to prove
that the President does not have the
support of the American people.
That, Of course, is why the speeches
are made. They are part of a
worldwide plan to defeat the league
of nations. The so-called wise states
men of the old time think, in the
profundity of their wisdom, that if
they can defeat a league of nations
they can make the nations continue to
burden themselves with armament.
That is one of their purposes: they
want militarism, because they have
always had it, because vested inter-
ests make money from it, and because
they think that, with armies to call
upon, they can check the present ten
dency towards worldwide social revo-
luton.
But opposition to a league CT ma
tons exists on other grounds. Ger
tain commercial interests fear that,
if the league of nations idea preyailg,
commerce will be divided among the
nations, instead of being left, as now,
to be the prize of the strongest and
craftiest. Those industries and those
nations that consider themselves
strongest and craftiest oppose any
tendency that, they fear, may restrict
their future profits.
The American people should be
under no delusion as to why certain
senators are fighting the league of
nations. These interests are in league
with every monarchist, every imper-
ialist, every militarist of Europe, and
the sole purpose of them all is to pre-
serve privilege, either of birth or of
military rank or of business. Presi-
dent Wilson's visit has aroused an al
most fanatical devotion among the
plain people of all lands who are fight
ing these interests. The speeches in
the United States senate are being
made with the sole and only purpose
of strengthening the hands of those
old power-politicians of Europe and
of America-who are hoping to put
the world back to where it was before
the war. Wichita Eagle.

ANOFNlliDNA To- ~ Abs
Dearest Mother:
am now permanently located with
my old former regiment and have
just mailed letter to Central Post
Office, France, asking them to for
ward my mail. | am rather anxious
to get hold of a letter from home for
| have not received a letter of any
kind since the first of August last.
Aren't you glad the war is over?
1t certainly does seem queer to have
everything so quiet over here-.not a
thing exciting since the 18th except
chat troops are passing thru these
lines on their way to occupy some
part of Germany. My division will
be going soon. We have about 100
miles to hike.
Well, | wish you could take you over
the battlefield. 1t is wonderful pic
ture of ruin and destruction, with lit
tie fresh graves here and there-boys
who paid the price.
could tell you a lot of war and
what | think of it but you can learn
just as much by reading the papers,
and when l get home I'll tell you of
some adventures and war stories of
mine.
Tell grandma, grandpa and every
body else "hello" for me. Tell all
my friends to write to me now. am
very sorry that have not written to
everyone regularly but we have been
in the front lines for AZ days-"over
the top" seven Investigating from
shell hole to shell hole, thru gas and
machine gun nests, night and day, and
you don't have time to stop and write
a letter. If you were here today I'd
take you over all the shell torn
ground and show you some real con-
ditions Of war and how they keep you
on the move. But since it is over and
we are going on to Germany | hope
| will have time after the next ten
days to write to all my kin folks and
neighbors. However, | have always
managed to send letters to you and
my sweetheart, no matter how hot the
fighting was, but now I'll write to you
all.
Well, l must close and go to dinner
for l sure do eat lot these days.

Paving is a sort of pay-as-you-ride
proposition. 1t is the first step a
town always takes when it starts to
