AMAZING JOURNALISM.

The Globe Democrat has got itself
into an amazingly ridiculous situa-
ton. When the world war ended 1t
took the high attitude that the ma
t;on, ol the Garth must hand them
selves into an effective lie: gne to
prevent a recurrence OF such hor-
ribIc catastrophe. When the peace
treaty. was formulated, t'asvd upon
this one great fundamental idea. n
received the hearty commentator OK
that paper and the strongest editorials
founded upon wisdom and logic IN
support of the adoption of that in
s,rument appeared in the Globe
Democrat from day to day. When
the little cabal OF Republican Sena-
tors headed by such old reactionarfes
as Lodge, Penrosc. Smoot and others
OF that ilk started in to defeat the
peace treaty. not because it was not
a fair and just treaty and promised
the salvation of the world, but De-
cause Democratic president of this
country had been the dominant t'g-
IRE that drafted and caused its adop-
ton by the other nations, the GLOBE
began to wobble in its support.
When the Republican convention
dominated by these same men, adopt
ed "A platform antagonistic to the
eapuc OF Nations, the Globe-Demo-
crat, true to its form Of bitter
partisan sheet, bowed to the Will OF
the bosses and announced its support
of the Republican ticket and thereby
its opposition to the League. Inc

crat upon all great questions Will DC

HARDING's TROUBLES.

Candidate Harding is having
trouble adjusting himself upon the
principal issue before the people,
that of the League OF Nations, III
his letter OF acceptance of the ke-
publican nomination he indicated III
no uncertain terms that he was OPP
posed to the League of Nations. Lat
er he cxemplified that by saying he
was in favor OF reaching quick peace
with Germany and then settling the
League question at leisure. Still lat
or he was for separate peace win
Germany and then arranging an IN
ternational court along Mr.. Root
ideas for the preservation OF peace be-
tween nations. Now he says he is
not so opposed to the League of Ma
tons as the public had been led to be-
lie>c but it was possible alter MS
election he might agree to plans
along that line. In fact MIR. Harding
is running true to form as reae-
tionary, stand-pat Republican,. with
the chief end in view o. getting
enough votes to elect him preSideHf,
willing to leave all policies and pans
Tor future government OF this ceun-

Good News for Renters and Farm
Hands.

Big farms in western Nebraska,
eastern Colorado and Wyoming are
being split up and put on the market.
This offers an unusual chance to Sc
cure splendid. decided lands at reason
able prices and on favorable terms.
The value Of these lands is steadily
increasing. You are. anxious to own
a farm and be your own boss. Write
me whether you prefer grain, dairy,
stock or mixed farming, dry or irri-
gated land, how much you can pay
down and let me put you in touch
with the owner or agent of suitable
place-now, before ii is too late.
Neither the railroad nor myself has
any land for sale. 1t employs me to
help farmers make the most of the
opportunities along our lines. My
services are free. l have helped hun

A CONFUSION OF FIGURES.

The frantic deniais by the Repub-
liean- campaign managers OF Cover
Cox's charges of $Is,oooooo &. o..
P. campaign fund would carry more
weight with fair minded public were
they to agree upon their own figures
offered in denial.
Viii: Hayes, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee opened
the ball with All estimate OF $3.ooo,-
ooo,-then along came treasurer Fred
w. Upha,n with $1,000. ooo budget.
later Mr. Hayes revised his figures
to S3,o7o,037 and then contradicted
this with statement that $4,000, 900
was the amount.
When they got Mr. Upham before
the Senate Committee he added
100000 to Mr.. Hays figures, and
later read table of state quotas tal-
though the denial that quotas were
made have been strenuous and forge.
full fixing the amount at $4,40I. 500.
Governor Cox now charges boldly
and publicly that Hayes perjured
himself in his testimony and from
the platform offers additional EVIL
dencc, from the campaign bullet:hs
issued by the Republicans to support
his original charges.
And this sort of thing carries on
down into the states.
Mr.. Upham testified that only $24,-
no had been collected IN Missouri;
then A. l.. Shapleigh of St. Louis al
aitted that he had raised $5o.oo5 In
three St. Louis Congressional dis
triets and Walter S. Dickey, of Kan
sas City added his bit with the infor-
mation that $4,000 had been raised
and that the amount agreed upon,
rot quota mind you, was $oo.ooo.

Gas At Amsterdam.

In drilling we'll at Amsterdam w.
o. Dudley, who operates the electric
light plant in that town, struck a
good flow of gas at a depth of I66
feet. He will continue drilling in the
hopes OF striking oil, but in the mean
time he will use the gas under the
boilers of the light plant
The striking of gas at Amsterdam
should be of immense benefit to that
town and should they be so fortu-
nate as to get oil in paying quanti-
ties the whole county would benefit.
