HELP KANSAS CITY

Those political pessimists who de-
clared that the good citizens of Kan
sas City would lose interest" in the
municipal campaign after the spirited
primary contest, have been obliged to
revise their predictions Instead of
relaxing their efforts and yielding to
the temptation to rest secure in te
belief that the battle had been won,
the aroused Republicans and indig-
nant Democrats are pushing forward
with renewed determination that is
gathering momentum every day. The
men in charge of the cleanup cam
paign have disclosed fine ability as
managers and organizers. While
some of them confess to a lack kof ex.
perience, they are doing a splendid
work and in a corresponding degree
the gangsters ara growing more and
more desperate.
The ward meetings now being held
all over the city have brought out
an attendance almost unprecedented
in local political history. Hundreds
Of men and women who have never
attended political meetings before are
turning out to greet the candidates
upon the Republican tickets and 9th.
er speakers who are presenting the
issues of the campaign with force
and conviction. There has been no
'sagging" In the contest. no WEAKNESS
in we'll doing. That sustained enthu-
siasm and vigor is manifested in the
Republican campaign which is an un-
failing sign of conviction of success.
Men who see failure of their cause
cannot perform the miracles OF ac.
complishment that are to the credit
of the Republican managers. Only a
superb confidence, a positive realiza.
tion of mounting strength could slim
ulate such efforts.
But confidence alone will not win.
The utmost expenditure of individual
and collective energy will be neces-
sary not only every day, but every
hour until the ballots are counted the
night, Of April s. Confidence is a
great and splendid thing and essen
tial to success, but it cannot bring
success without a maximum of work.
Thus far the campaign has been man
aged without a flaw. The city is
aroused as it has not been aroused
before. The people are hungry for
the facts and enthusiastic in their
hopes that at last they will regain
control of their own affairs. Every
recruit to righteousness bring the con-
summation a step nearer.
The men who are working SO hard
in the interests of Matthew Foster
are fighting battle for Kansas City,
These patriots are inspired by love
Of thetir city, by desire to serve not
alone themselves but all other good
citizens and realize an ambition that
every decent, law-abiding and moral
man and woman IN this community
should share. The Republican cam.

If there is any one who has not
noticed a great change in the trend
of the race for the last two years,
he is strangely blind to what is TAX
ing place. For fifty years, since free
dom, the race has made many mis-
takes, and necessarily so. will make
many more; if it is expected to be
perfect; but from many of these mis-
takes it has profitted no little, and
learned a great deal For many a
year the race listened to the advice
of its friends, directing it to stay on
the farm, stay in its place, give its
children industrial education, and
those who are in authority will look
after you and will give you what you
deserve. But it has learned through
experience that one comes no nearer
his rights by leaving them to others
than he can rise from his couch with
out making effort himself.

And someone is gently thinking;
OF fond footsteps drawing near,
Then a greeting most sincere;
From a dear wife true and kind.
Present a pleasing feature in, the
ties that bind.
A supper now is waiting, prepared so
handsomely,
Showing she has utilized and prac-
ticed close economy;
The pipe and evening paper, is plac-
ed within your hand,
Now what more can you look for
tell me old man?
You talk, you read, and then you
smoke, but ever in mind,
You must admit that these are, the
ties that bind.
Then with her kuitting-close beside
you,
l say-how can you ever feel blue?

SOCIALISM'S FAILURE
Ryan Charges immortality with
Cause of Failing Down of
Plans.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April Tim
morality is responsible for the fail
ure OF all socialistic plans This is
the belief expressed by Daniel J.
Ryan, chairman of the Ohio tax
commission
In an address here on Historic
Failures in Applied Socialism"
Chairman Ryan said that the social
istic plans were immoral because
they took from man his right of all
rights-the right to live to work and
to think for himself"
"All of the experiments at social
ism were based upon common own
ership of property, land and per-
sonal, as well as the common owner
ship Of the implements of produc-
ton" he declared.
. They involved surrender of the
rights and power OF the Individual to
the community This embodied the
essence Of socialism, which has been
advocated from the philosopher Karl
Marx 20 the agltator Eugene Debs.
Eliminating the individuality in
their social life, the result was the
same in every single instance: that
Is, failure, and these failures re-
suited from one or more of the fol-
lowing conditions: lack Of capital
inefficiency OF management dissen-
sions among its members and the
marriage tie"
