every land, while on its heaving bos-
ON it bears the products of various
chimes; so peace surrounds, protects
and upholds all other blessings. With
out it, commerce is vain, the ardour
of industry is restrained, justice is
arrested, happiness is blasted, virtue
sickens and dies.
And peace has its own peculiar
victories, in comparison with which
Marathon and Bannockburn and
Bunker Hill, fields held sacred in the
history of human freedom, shall lose
their lustre. Our own Washington
rises to truly heavenly stature,-not
when we follow him over the ice of
the Delaware to the capture of Tren-
ton; not when we behold him victor
ious over CORVALLIS at Yorktown
but when we regard him in noble de-
ference to justice, refusing the kingly
crown and at a later day upholding
the peaceful neutrality of the coun.
try, while he received unmoved the

ing for war.

We Are at Peace

There is no need to worry. We are.
not at war with Germany and our re-
lation to that country is, for all prac-
teal purposes, no different from what
it would have been had the treaty
been ratified. But there will be a
declaration of peace in the near fu-
ture, so that all the necessary formal
tiles will be gone through with. We
have escaped a great danger, as MEM
bers of all parties admit. Mr.. Wilson
knows it and so does every thinking
student of public affairs in the coun-
try Our Constitution is no longer in
danger, our form of government is no
longer menaced, our country need no
longer fear the danger of sending an
army to fight on foreign territory at
the behest of foreign power,
whether the side for which we are
asked to fight shall be right or wrong.
Mr.. Wilson and his party may go to
the country on the issue which he has
raised, namely, the ENHANCEMENT OF
this government in foreign politics
and foreign wars in which we havs
no issue at stake, but we think thai
they will find that the great mass Of
the voters will by their votes show
that they unite with US in saying
'fThank God for a patriotic UniteC
States Senate" Mr. Wilson has los
the support of the patriotic elemen
of mis- party, who hereafter will b.
found aligned with those who have
for their motto "America first. "-Ex

'Wimmen's Rights

In my cub reporter days on the
Washington Court House Register
Democrat was taught that it was not
good form to write a local item and
say, "Henry Jones and wife are regis
tered at the Imperial" It should
read, ''Mr and Mrs. Henry Jones'
The reason for this, according to my
meticulous mentor, was that it ap-
pealed to the reader about the same
as if the item read, Henry Jones and
valise." In other words, it made the
wife appear as a chattel in the same
class as a valise - or a cow. Only,
if the truth be told, never knew any
one to register a cow = even at the
Imperial.
In the early days, when men ruled
the world and suffrage was non est,
the wife was regarded more or less as
chattel and subject to the will of
her husband In fact, the nineteenth
century version of the marriage ritual
read, 81 promise to love, honor and
obey
This "chattel" business was what
my newspaper tutor was trying to
overcome by beating into my brain
that the woman was equal to the man.
He was an advance guard of suffrage
in way
Like all other great reforms, this
ruling had its drawbacks. In those
days we set type by hand, and not
infrequently, when 1 got hustle on
myself and reported all the visitors in
town during the week, we ran out of
capital Ms, so I had to make some of
'em chattels or else leave the items
out and the wives preferred to be
considered chattels rather than have
their names left out of the paper.
In these later days, with the jour-
neyman printer gone to his reward
the type case thrown into the discard,
and the linotype turning out all the
cap Ms needed, the reform can be
successfully accomplished. And it is
well, for suffrage 'fhas come to stay
and ''wimmen must have their rights y

True Grandeur of Nation.
(By Charles Sumner)

Casting our eyes over the history
of nations, with horror we discern
the succession of murderous slaught-
ers by which their progress has been
marked. Even as the hunter traces
the wild beast, when pursued to his
lair, by the drops Of blood on the
earth, so we follow man, weary, stag
gering with wounds, through the
black forest of the past, which he has
Redeemed with his gore. Oh, let it
not be in the future ages as in those
which we now contemplate! Let the
grandeur of man be discerned, not in
bloody victories, or in ravenous CON
quests, but in the blessings which he
has secured; in the good he has ac-
compilshed; in the triumphs of bene-
violence ad justice; in the establish
ment of perpetual peace
As the ocean washes every shore,

Americans should buy from Amer
icans?"
When shall we have an adequate
Protective Tariff which shall deliver
US from the folly Of doing again as
we did in January of this year, when
we imported foreign merchandise of
the stated value of S473, 1886, $40,
while we exported silver to the net
value over imports of S15,764, APT
and gold to the net value of s35, 74O,-
487, thus making US poorer in metal
lie currency or bullion by over fifty
one and half million dollars, while
we purchased abroad many millions
of dollars worth of goods which
should have been produced in this
country by American workmen?-

FARM BUREAU AGENTS MEET

The county agricultural agents of
eighteen western Kansas counties
held their annual three-day confer
ence at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station, April lib, after attending
the Roundup" on April 10.
A valuable feature of the confer
ence consisted in supplying the coun-
ty agents much data from the FIT.
Hays Experiment Station records that
will be of practical value to the farm
ers of different counties represented
by county agents.
Mr.. A. L. Hallstead in charge of
the Dry Land Agriculture, reviewed
the results of his eleven years work
at the station. He discussed fully
methods of seed bed preparation,
practical rotations and experiments
conducted on top dressing with straw
and manure.
Mr.. R. E. Getty in charge of For
age Investigations, gave the results
of his seven years work with the for
age and grain sorghums. All of the
leading varieties have tried under his
supervision until it is now quite well
known what particular sorghums are
now best adapted to a given area.
A. F. Swanson in charge of the
Cereal Investigational work, pointed
out the record of some of the best
varieties of wheat, barley, oats and
corn that have been grown for num-
Der of years at the station. He dis
cussed some of the early introductions
and the advent of the hard red winter
wheat into the Great Plains area.
Superintendent Chas. r. Weeks
furnished problems of cost accounts
on the Fl Hays Experiment Station
especially dealing with wheat and al
falfa. Results of the Roundup
were further taken up by him as wei
as valuable information relating tC
the cost of wintering calves and Older
cattle. Mr. Weeks gave a summary
and possibilities of dairying in west
ern Kansas.
The county agents expressed theil
high approval of the creditable man
ner in which L. E. Wiloughby, the
district agent for west central Kansas
had accumulated into book form TIT
results of various experimental work
With these books in the hands of tn
county agents the work of the Fl
Hays Experiment Station is brough
directly to the farmers of the western
end of the state.
Labor problems of the coming har
vest received careful attention. AS i
previous years the county agents ex
pect to take an active part in arrang
ing for properly distributed labor.
Representatives of the Division o
Extension, Kansas State Agriculture
College, who met with the count
agents, were: Dean Harry Umberg
err; Karl Knaus, County Agent Lead
er and his assistant, A. F. Turner an
F. A. Dawly; T. ]. Talbert, Superin
tendent of Specialists and E. I

Department.

Ours the Only Free-Trade Country


Norway is planning to restrict i'm

barge of all the products of this coun-
try except absolute necessities.
Sweden is planning to impose a high
Protective Traiff on iron and steel
products Australia has already en-
bargoed some of our products, as

in Japan they are asking for Tariff
Protection on soda and bleaching

country, the people seem to be alive
to the necessity of fostering their own
domestic industries and excluding, so
far as practicable, those of other
countries, especially those of the
United States.
When will the Congress awake to
the necessity, recognized universally
elsewhere, of building up domestic
productive industries? When will the
workingmen realize the necessity for
doing an honest days work for the
highest wages to be obtained any
where on earth? When will our con-
sumers recognize the fact that they
are injuring themselves when they

Imports from Germany Grow

Though a technical state of war
still exists between the United States
and Germany, trade with that coun-
try is reviving, and Germany, at least
in one line of exports to this country,
has passed pre-war levels, according
to reports of the Department of Com
merce. During 1919 Germany. ex-
ported to the United States undecor-
ated china and porcelain valued at
$671,756, an increase of more than
80 per cent over pre-war years. Total
exports to Germany from the United
States for the first eleven months of
last year was SIS, 564,237, while i'm
ports for the same period were S.
143,7O6. Practically one-third of the
trade with Germany for this period
was in November, when imports and
exports amounted to more than

 More than one reason led us 10 de- cline these tentative offers. In the first place. the law forbids a sale under par; and a sale at par with an agree ment on the side to pay commission to the purchasers-wh was the ar engagement the several bond buyers proposed and which is a common ar engagement with school boards. with the approval of tho supervisors-ls merely clumsy evasion of the law. It is clearly a violation of the spirit or the law. In addition to this consider ation, we were convinced that we would soon he able to bring a par bid to the attention of the supervisors. It seemed evident that the country was entering into conditions conducive to better market for bonds.
 When business is at a high tide or prosperity with high profits the rule, bonds are not in demand. That is why
 government bonds and county and school district bonds. were in slow de-
 mand during the past few years. lt appeared to us that business was slow | ing up throughout the country and that the steady decline in industrial securi- | ties meant. for one thing. that investors | were withdrawing their money and

 "Our only regret is that it was neces- sarv to fix an interest rate at per cent for the present issue of school bonds But while that was necessary. to assure a sale al par. it is not prob able that this district will ever again have to fix such a high rate.
 We shhll now proceed at once 10 arrange for additional school sites and for. the construction of new school buildings. as contemplated when these bonds were voted.
