Long Expected Revolt.

The names associated with the new revolutionary movement in Germany indicate it's reactionary character It would appear therefore that Germany is in the throes of the long expected and frequently predicted counter revolution, monarchists' struggle.
 The Dr. von kapp reported as hay ing assumed the chancellorShip, it seems probable is Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, a former conservative member of the reichstag and general director of the German agricultural society. He was one of the deputies who early in 1918 urged the government to speed up the U-boat building program. He be- came president of the German Fa,- therland party. the notorious pan German organization which urged that Germany carry on the war to the bitter end. After the abdication of Emperor William and the signing of the armistice Dr. Kapp was one of the men for whose arrest the independent socialists clamored, on the ground that he and his assistants had been responsible for the continuation of the war and the hindering of peace.
 Opposed Peace Terms.
 Major Gen. Baron von Luettwitz, who according to the dispatches has been named commander in chief, was military governor of Belgium from a period in the early days of the war He later was a commander on the Verdun front. = When the German treaty came up for action by the gov ernment last June Gen. von Luettwitz was one of the leaders of the military party prominent in opposition to the peace terms. He has an American wife who was a Miss Cary of Cleve- land. lie always has been classed as being thoroughly Prussian.

A BETTER WAY.

The government spends much mon
ey i'm the printing of bulletins that
are circulated for the purpose Of i'm
proving industrial conditions. 1t is
one of the things which have contrib
uted to the making of a great country
These bulletins are sent TO the peO-
pie who apply for them. and possibly
to some who do not. Just how extern
sively they are circulated inthis man
ner we do not know, but it is doubt
full if the valuable information they
disseminate reaches the majority of
the people for whom it is intended,
especially in the field Of agriculture.
We believe a more satisfactory and
profitable means Of stimulating more
advanced methods in the various lines
of industry would be to publish the
bulletins in the newspapers and per-
iodicals that reach most generally the
people concerned.
Take the farmer for example.
Practically everyone raises corn.
wheat, oats. rye, potatoes, hay. etc.
Bulletins on such crops should be
printed in the country papers These
papers reach practically every. farmer
in the country, and would be the log
zeal ones to use.
Bulletins on special subjects, such
as bee culture poultry raising on an
extensive scale, etc, could be printed
i'm either the country press or journals
specializing in such matters.
The same would be true in all lines
Of industry, science, manufacture, etc
a reasonable price being paid for such
advertising.
In no other way could the public be
reached SO quickly and effectively,
and unquestionably the results would
than Justify the expenditure.
Sooner or later the government will
discard it's present ancient method of
disseminating valuable information
md adopt the n more fitted for the
progressive age in which we move.
Sooner is better than later.
