MR.. BABLER GETS WHITE
WASHED AGAIN

Jacob L, Babler, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman from Missouri,
has been "white-washed" again, this
time by the very committee appointed
at the Sedalia cleanup" conference
to meet with representatives Of the
Republican National Committee and
see if he could not be ousted. Chair
man Will H. Hays of the National
Committee, G. B. Miller, secretary;
F. Upham, treasurer, Senator Spencer
and H. M. Dougherty, campaign man
ager for Senator Harding, are some of
the worthless who assisted the Missouri
delegation in welding the white
wash" brush. A god job was done this
time and even il Babler. has been strip
ped of his power, as Judge Matt g..
Reynolds hays he has, he still main
tains his office and his pristine halo
of purity.
As predicted in these columns, the
Cleanup" movement has come to
naught although the she'll Of the Sc
dalia organization still exists and a
few optimists still hope to see Babler
dethroned. ,Optimists indeed! With the
backing of Senator Harding, express
sed in a cleverly-writen note, the sup
port of the chiefs of the Republican
National Committee, the aid of Sem
ator Spencer and the approval of the
committee that was appointed to see
that he was bounced, Babler is holding
on to his job as tightly as certain st.
Louis politicians held to Lowden mo-
ney, which, so it was said, was intend
en- to be used around in the state to
help Lowden's campaign and not to
line their own pocketbooks.
| 'Procter and | fought hard for two
hours against the National Commit
tee" said Judge Reynolds in attempt
ing to defend the committee "white-
wash" report. ave succeeded in prac-
tically stripping Babler Of any of his
power" All of which again calls at
tention to the fact that Babler still is
Republican National Committeeman
from Missouri. Judge Reynolds re-
marks smack of the surgeons saying
that the operation was complete sue
cess but the patient died. He is fool
ing no one. Babler and Bablerism,
upheld and Endorsed by the Republi-
can National Committee, reign SUI
preme in Missouri and if the honest,
conscientious Republicans don't like

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First
| Aid 10 the injured offered by the Amer
| lean Red Cross is to train men and
| women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and lnteligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such case n person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not only to the In
dividual, but through him to the com
munity in which he lives.
There Is perhaps no way of ascer-
tanning the number of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
coun'ry's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced a farrcaching and beneficial in
nuence in the prevention Of accidents
Oh railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of widespread know!-
edge of First Aid In the event of a
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc, Is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
% the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters. of classes for in
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and In
every industry; (o) the introduction of
courses of instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do so should, In his own interest, re-
ceve Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and in
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,0OO,00O has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people Of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick. fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation of 1.-THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief &C.
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
Establishment of million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
100000. Last winter one-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then series Of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, of
ficials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have persisted of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.

DR.. 'Nabour Has a
Different View Of
Russian Bolshevist

Manhattan, Kas., Nov. ga some
what different picture of the Russian
Bolshevist from that set forth in pop
ular cartoons and literature of the
Western world, is drawn by Dr. r. *.
Nabour, head of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, who has just re-
turned to America from a years trip
to territory under Bolshevist rule.
Doctor Nabour headed mission
looking toward the establishment of a
trade route from Southern Russia to
the United States. He was in the EN-
ploy of fur company which was in
terested in obtaining skins of the kar-
akul lamb. The karakul are grown
principally in Bokhara. Central Asia.
formerly a principality of Russia now
under Bolshevist authority. During
the war this trace was suspended. but
through the efforts of DR.. Nabours mis-
sion. trade route has been reopened
and commerce resumed between Box.
hara and the Western World.
Contrary to. popular conception, the
Bolshevist, DIR. Nabour says, is not
hairy. shabby and unsanitary. He
wears the same kind of clothes the
| average American city dweller. and
the popular term hair Bolshevist'' is
a misabuse. according to the Kansas
Scientist. .---.-.
Il was unable to reach the interior
OF Russia" said DR.. Nabour. but !

only enough produce is raised to sup

time, though no more likely by the
Bolshevists than The anti-Bolsevists.

anti-Bolshevists and Bolshevists get to-
gether and assign the towns and ter
ritory they should not loot respective

is taken under orders from Moscow or
from Denekin. But this condition ex-
lists among individual groups. My point
