MOTHER DIES OF FLU;
FATHER CUTS THROAT.

Chicago, Jan. 313-Tony Guarantee
for As hours sat holding the cold hand
of his dead mother At his feet lay
the body of his father, blood smear
ed suicide. Tony was in a stupor af-
ter three sleepless days in which he
had tried to care for the influenza
stricken mother and four brothers and
sisters. Today after discovery by a
visiting nurse, Tony was in mysteries
in a hospital as he recalled his three
days of torture.
Tony attempted cooking for the
family. The fire went out. Then the
mother died and the father killed
himself with a razor.
The four children had given up
crying for food and huddled together
in one bed in an unventilated room
where the vitiated air contributed to
the coma in which the nurse found
them. One of the children was found
to be suffering from influenza today
and the others were i'll from cold and
lack of food,
Neighbors cared for the burial of
the parents.

TIDE HAS TURNED.
Cleveland Pressl

For some years many good people
south of the Canadian border viewed
with alarm the rising tide of Ameri-
can emigrants seeking new homes and
fields in the Dominion Canada's no.
table advertising campaigns and her
cheap lands gave Uncle Sam no end
OF uncomfortable hours.
But the tide has turned More peo-
pie are coming this way than going
that. Official figures just made pub
lie by the government show emigra-
tior from the United States to Can
ada for the fiscal year to have been
44003 which was 5000 less than for
the year before. There were 9O,223
American citizens among these emf
grants, as against $4,000 for the pre-
ceding year.
During the same twelve months
96,O75 emigrants left Canada for the
United States OF these 22.441 were
Americans who were coming back to
their old home after a taste of Can
adam atmosphere and a trial of Cam
adam opportunity.

HERBERT HOOVER i REPUBLICAN

Sac City, Iowa, Bulletin
The Bulletin took the trouble over
eighteen months ago to look up the
political allegiance Of Herbert Hoover
and found that he had been a lifelong
republican, although not particularly
active as a partisan Now our find
ings are corroborated by an announce
ment by julius Barnes, director of
the United States wheat corporation
and personal friend of Mr. Hoover.
Mr. Barnes declares that Mr.. Hoover
is a progressive republican and could
only be induced to consider a place
on the democratic ticket if the G. O.
p should nominate candidates of re-
action. This will probably put a stop
to the talk of nominating Hoover in
democratic ranks and should turn
more republican attention to his pos
sibilities as a presidential candidate.
AT this writing it looks to us as if
Herbert Hoover and Frank Lowden
are the two best men in the field for
the G. o. P. to choose from.

A PITIFUL STORY.

A pitiful tale of woe comes to
America from Armenia where the hui
man family have sunk to state OF
abject misery inconceivable. eIn one
instance a doctor found little girl
cracking something between two
stones and licking her fingers. The
doctor examined the object and after
questioning found the bone came
from nearby graveyard Cats and
dogs have all been eaten. Dead hors-
es are picked to skeletons as soon as
they are found. One case was dis
covered where little girl had eaten
the arm of her dead brother!
Those staring, sunken eyes of the
few survivors, the cracking faces too
broken and sad for mere tears are
turned westward to America, the Hope
of the World! America must not
fail them!

DODGEvILLE SUNLETS.
War Hurts Politics.

If every politician could see that
war is dangerous thing to start,
there would soon be no wars And
it is just that. No party can with
stand the temptation to abuse the
special powers which are necessarily
conferred upon the government in
wartime, and then it has to suffer
when the war is over. Clemenceau
in France has just paid the penalty
as many another wartime autocrat
has done before, and all signs indi-
cate that our dictator and his party
will do the same as soon as the voters
get a chance at them.
How can a loyal citizen be loyal to
a disloyal government?
And if this writer expressed his
real sentiments, would he have to
work any harder in Leavenworth than
he does in getting out country paper
once a week? a

RECORD NON-PARTISAN.

After Indignantly assuring us that
he does not have to write iaudatory
letters to himself the Bloomington
Record comes out fatty for a non
partisan candidate for president in
the shape of Herbert Hoover who is
presumably a Republican.
We agree with editor Bishop that
the Democratic party presents weary
dearth of presidential material at
present McAdoo, Bryan, Palmer, I'm
derWood Hearst-not a name to con-
jure with in the entire lot We can't
much blame Bish for being ready to
burn his bridges in such pass.
On the other hand the Republican
majority party has considerably the
better of it. Wood and Pershing are
good men but we don't believe the
people want a military man. Johnson
of California is the best bet if he
doesn't live too far west of the Mis-
sissippi to pull the big eastern vote.
Then there is LoWden and the Re-
publicans may select Hoover,
Bish asks us what we will do IL La
Toilette Thompson - non-partisan
boys gain control of the Republican
party. We doubt exceedingly if that
will happen. It is less likely than for
the Hearst Reed-Clark crowd to
dominate the Democrats. This would
be awful.
However we would advise our
Bloomington friend to not go off half
cooked before deserving his party
That West Grant Democracy should
be without IFS chief n1un-nuI1ar and
standard bearer is unthinkable. May

WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT WORK,
Wiscnnsin Statn Innrnal

Wisconsin State Journal
In the Chicago railroad yards some
l. W. w. wrote upon the side of a box
car the inscriptions
No beer, no work."
When the car reached Milwaukee a
brakeman wrote under the first in
scription the following:
NO work. no pay!'
Enroute to Madison another work
man added this:
No pay, no eat!"
m the Madison yards a maintenance
man wrote the final chapter:
mo eat. no live!"
Politicians may screech, preachers
may preach, economists may write
sociologists may slum and their COM
0ined output Will add nothing to the
dicta
NO beer, no work!
No work, no payi
No pay, no eatl
No eat, no live!"
Than work there is no other pana-
cea. Work is mans natural state. Ev-
cry normal, healthy man works,
whether he has to or not. The world
lives on production. Hence work must
lend itself to production. The man
who has an idea of time when men
shall live without work is on a par
with the man who proposes to give ev-
erybody something without taking
anything from anybody.
