Senator Myers Of Montana is q

nHAsD BOILED" SMITH OR RA1HsuRA,

The fact that President Wilson
practically pardoned "Hard Boiled
Smith last March has just become
news. Smith was the officer whose
cruel and savage treatment Of United
States soldiers in prison camps
reused such indignation and resulted
in conviction and sentence by court
martial. The sentence itself was
light compared to the crimes OF
which Smith had been proved guilty
Smith and his cruelties made Amer-
can camps where boys who had gone
A. w. o. L., were held worse than
German prisons. Yet Wilson pa
rolled the man last March and he has
enjoyed his liberty and freedom
since. Now his term has expired
and the torturer Of helpless Ameri-
can soldiers is chnckling openly as
he chuckIed IN his sleeve last March.
When American soldiers were
suffering stripes and blows and
starvation and indignities at the
hands Of "Hard Boiled" Smith ih
France slackers at home with
"scrup.es against war" were fed
high, favored in every way, excused
from duty, permitted to govern them
selves by a soviet Of slackers, dis
charsed first with full pay and
perquisttes by the democrat admins

plate and bubbling over with self
conceit and qualification while the

Smith was working his savage will
upon men who had dared death

laws Of the administration sat safely

over the country among the enlisted

GOV. cox AT SIOUX CITY.

IStoux City Journal
It is unfair to the candidate to
measure his ability or his capacity
for the position OF president of the
United, States by . rear platform
speech In the early hours of the
morning after q strenuous day of
campaigning and late address the
previous night, such as Coy. Cox had
undergone before his address at
Sioux City yesterday morning. The
candidate could not appear at his
best. Neither could he be expected to
be n voice or mood to arouse the
enthusiasm OF the crowd which had
waited long in the chilly morning air
for his appearance. He is a cam
paigner Of the old school. He gets
Gown to the audience. He appeals to
the sentiments. He plays for the ap-
pause, tho in his Sioux City address
he missed the responses which he
really expected. He~has a good APP
pearance, and an ability TO mix with
the masses in thought as well as in
person. He Is at home in a campaign
for the 6overnorship OF the state. But
he does not impress the unbiased OBJ
server with the prospect OF his oc-
cupancy lof the White House and the
presidential executive Offices He
lacks the common people qualities

In other words the dollar, accord
ing to the conception and estimate of
this concern, is the measure Of mans
consequence.
We beg to take issue with the
highbrow maker OF fashionable au-
tomobiles. In our opinion their stan
daTd OF measuring consequence is
zero.
A person with a small amount OF
money can buy a lease on piece OF
Texas land and In q few DAYS become
q millionaire, If he happens to be
lucky. This would enable him, even
tho he could scarcely sign his name
or identify decimal point to buy
a $4,000 automobile. He therefore
becomes a person Of consequence,
does he? He does not.

THEY'LL GO BACK TO THE LAND.

Tho gain In population OF the past
ten years has practically been alb
sorbed by the cities. So the census
figures show.
There's q reason. The farming
communities should not stop with the
statement that the cities are taking
the increase but should seek for tho
Causes.
Labor has srayttated to the towns
and the cities. "Gravitated" is the
right word for labor seeks the level
where it IL most certain OF employ
ment. OF most pay. Of most congenial
living conditions. When labor goes
it gravitates. It takes the plane Of
least resistance.
Farmers have moved to town, :
There Ia q reason for every such
move. Some of them want to "edu-
cato tho children" Some OF them
have quit hard work and wish to
live close to conveniences that they
did not have on the farm, All Of
them like the companionship Of peo-
ple,> the proximity of their kind.
Gregariousness draws human beings
together as 1t creates herds Of other
animals. The fact is that the city
makes life easier II wages or accumu-
lations permit decent standard Of
living. Underneath all the movement
to the cities these, or some OF these
