SELLING THE WAR PROVISIONS

The general public is dszed by the announce
ment that millions of dollars worth OF war
provisions TO be thrown the retail
market in order to help the public In its strug-
gle with high living prices.
II was supposed, as matter OF course. that
the government surplus had long ago been dis
posed OF. General Palmer. making an heroic (?)
fight against the profiteers what time he was
not running for the presidential nomination,
could have avaied himself OF this enormous sur
plus OF meats and war provisions and really ac-
compished something worth while.
Why didn't her We can think OF but one
answer to the question, and that answer isn't
particularly complimentary to either the gem
erai or Little Baker.
We arc naturally concerned. too, In knowing
why the administration has not prior to this
timo thrown these goods the market. For
what purpose were they withheld II not to COM
ply with the wishes OF the influential food fact

The .sNut" Convention.


Editor World; Now that the nominations
are about over and the anti this and anti
that people, have all had their say as well
as the radical this and radical that, II looks
from tho distance as II this election as have
other previous elections will be settled by the
rational. normal and balanced element OF the
American people more than ever before,
The old parties have made great strides this
year I'm both getting rid of their nuts or as
Roosevelt puts 1t (their lunatc frnge), par
tiouiaTiy the democrats in Kidding iself OF the
Bill Bryan Incubus. they shed of their
greatest liability, as he Is who wants all and
Will give nothing. All he has ever done for them
is lead them to defeat. Now that he has been
nominated by the radical probes, ne is where
no belongs, leading one of the little factions OF
political nuts.
The good these little party movements will
do In drawing those irrational votes from the
major parties and concentrating them where
they will be harmless in two OF three little
parties instead of leaving them floating round
and voting In first one and then the other OF the
great parties, and messing Things up generally.
II will leave the issues between the two great
parties 10 be decided by the votes OF the great
majority OF the normal people OF America
so here is hoping that any OF the other out
fits that have bug will get In the ring and
nominate themselves a president and exercise
their great American privilege of blowing off
steam from now until election day You know
blowing Off is the best safety valve when they
do not blow off they erupt into anarchism boil
shevism some other ism SO bless them. Let
each little bunch Of nuts have a party OF its
own. Yours II. c. GALLAGHER.

MIR. BRYAN AND PROHIBITION.

william Jennings Bryan refused the nomi-
nation of the prohibition party. The general
public will appreciate the bomb -shell' effect
OF this deciination on the prohibitionsts' ieie-
gates In convention at Mr.. Bryan's hmoe town.
They had right to believe that the man who
delivered the fillipics against the liquor inter-
ests and the man democracy chose to select as
It's standard bearer would not hesitate to DOM
onstrate his own sincerity by bearing the coors
placed In his hands by those fighting for what
Ne himself denominated as the paramount is
sue OF the campaign"
Mr. Bryans dconation unquestionably leaves
him In uneviablc light, He shows himself n
partisan before he Is patriot; politician
rather than moral crusader All this on the
testimony OF his own utteranoes and actions.
What no says to the prohibtionists is in effect
this: II would rather be a democrat than right"
Yet, from the standpoint of logic and reason,
there is room for the prohibition party. II
there had ever been question az to the posi-
tion OF the republican party on the liquor qucs-
tion Senator Harding's speech Of acceptance re-
moved It. He said:
7 believe In law enforcement. IL elected
mean to be a constitutional president. and It
Ia impossible to ignore the constitution, un-
th!nkable to ovade the law when every
committal is to orderly government. People
will dtfcr about the wisdom of tho
enactment OF a kw--there is divided opln-
ion respecting tho eighteenth amendment
and the laws enacted To make Il operative
but there can be no difference OF opinion
about honest law enforcement.
What stronger position could tho prohibi-
tionists dcmand2 Add to that the well known
fact-known to overy who engaged
In politics during the last half century--that the
republican party has always been cassed as
the anti-saloon party. the democratic party as
the saloon mans party and the case is made
Three times out OF four Cox has swept Ohio
as the candidate OF the liquor interests--prior.
It In true, TO the time when prohibition had be-
come fact. And always when that was tho
issue In Ohio the republicans were voted down
by the saloon men and the brewery interests.
Mr.. Bryan does not say in many words that
the republican platform and candidate leave no
room for prohibition ticket. but that doubtless
is his Judgment lie does not say In so many
words that he will vote for the candidate he de-
clared few days ago "smelt OF the beer watts Z"
but that unquestonably is the fair Inference OF
his telegram declining the prohibition nomina-
ton.
Mr., Bryan, we think, would have done him
self n better service, left his record in better
shape, had he accepted the nomination and
squared his performance with his preachments.

THE GIFT OF MEMORY


or all the gifts which God has given to
warm and cheer the soul of man,
The gift of memory is supreme, the
crowning jewel In His plan; Z
without IL all that's good would fade and
love would have no tenderness,
There'd be no keepsakes for the past
no little shoes or faded dress
Without the gift of memory to conjure
up by-gone delights,
The hours would lonely he and long,
and duh and dreary all our nights
The dead would then be truly dead and
lost TO us beyond recall
And every JOY which we have claimed
would vanish when the shadows fail.
Friends would be ours for just n day,
their gifts would never treasured be-
We could not read the splendid past
without the book OF memory.
And every deed OF greatness here which
makes the world a better place,
Could not endure TO thrill and rouse
the children of future race.
Here is the treasurehouse of man
where all the joys OF life he keeps,
Gods precious gift of comfort for the
lonely mother when she weeps,
His inspiration for the brave-His
pledge divine which makes II sure
That love is an immortal JOY, and all
that's good shall long endure.
