peans. But ii was not the United
States that ended it prematurely. Some
day the full truth of the causes lead
ing to the acceptance of the first over
lures of the Germans for an armistice
will be disclosed. Until the record is
written it is an outrageous injustice
for Kjpling or any other person to al
lege that the United States brought
about a premature close Of the strug-
gle. before Germany had been suf-
ficiently beaten to insure a just and
lasting peace.
1t is true that the United States is
creditor to Europe in a large amount
for supplies needful for the conduct of
the war by the allies. But it is not
true that we have got the gold of the
world" This country holds notes. but
is very far from having the gold in
payment of them, and there is no
definite assurance, save the words of
some English statesmen-not all of
them-that the debts will ever be paid.
Just what I<ipling means by saying
that the real America died in 1862
must be left to the Imagination. which
has been heretofore puzzled by some
of his fictions and poetic fancies. If
the British poet wants to fight the
civil war over again for us, reviving
the memories of his cOuntry's attitude
at the time of the greatest crisis in the
history of this republic, he is. of
course entitled to do so, but the effort
will hardly be profitable to him or
helpful for his countrymen in their
present difficulties.
Reluctantly the conclusion is forced
that Kipling has acquired a pair of
ears that qualify him for the farm
yard His country will doubtless be
quick to apply to him the term that
such appendages justify. And the
United States will be quite content to
leave his condemnation henceforth to
those whom he now so sadly misrepre-
sents in a gratuitous insult to the ma
ton that in the judgment of the states
men and the soldiers of the allied lands
saved them from Germany.

There was much discussion a few

telephone. who recently died, in his
last years refused to permit tele-
phone in his house. claiming that
this device. which is such a time and
energy saver, business necessity and
domestic convenience, was to him a

people and things he did not want

as saying that the only enemy Of

COMETlME ago an article was
y printed in these columns giving
voice to the hope that there would be
greater courtesy among drivers of au-
tomobiles. There has been a marked
improvement, but there Is still room for
more. 1t might not be bad idea for
those who control the large passenger
buses and heavy trucks to realize
that the owner of a small car has just
as much right on the street as they
have, and along those lines 1t Is ear
nestly hoped that the hackers who
circle around Pennsylvania avenue,
18th street, F street and down 14th
street will realize that all automo-
biles cannot proceed along the high
ways at as slow a speed as they do.
and while all of us want to see every
one make an honest living, yet there
are times when one feels that the po-
lice should take this matter up and
see that the rights of all AUTOMOBILE
lists are protected. This little matter
OF road courtesy should also be en-
ployed by the jay walkers who pay not
whit of attention to the stop sig
nails on important street crossings.
FRIEND of mine who is a chem
n list the other day was discussing
the present-day whiskies and gins.
Many Of them. according to him, are
made from denatured alcohol. after 1t
had been rectifed and had beading
oil. caramel and fiavoring extracts
added. Many gins are made by using
the oil of juniper berries. According
to this same authority not per cent
of the booze that is peddled is any
where near pure.
THEY are telling a story, around
i the clubs. about how a we'll
known dlstiller for personal use only
put one over on the government Off
cials. 1t appears that the man who
had been making Illicit beverages had
gone to a certain department and
asked just what the trouble was with
his product. The official. who, by the
way. is quite well up in chemistry.
pointed out the deficiencies in the
product. with the result that the
seeker of knowledge is now able to
make a perfectly good whisky under
methods that will stand the govern
ment test.

hind every difficult and undesirable eco sert from my contact with men of large affairs including bankers, that, as whole, they are endeavoring to fulfill as they see them the obligations that go with their power. Preoccupied with the grave problems and heavy tasks of their own immediate affairs, they have not turned their thoughtful personal attention or their construc- tive abilities to the dRficiencies of agri- cultural business organization. Agri- culture. 1t may be said, suffers from their preoccupation and neglect rather than from any purposeful exploitation by them. They ought now to begin to respond to the farmers difficulties, which they must realize are their own.
 On the other hand, my contacts with the farmers have filled me with respect for them-for their sanity, their pa- tience. their balance. Within the last year. and particularly at meeting called by the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and at another called by the Committee of Seventeen, I have met many of the leaders of the new farm movement and I testify in all sincerity that they are endeavoring to deal with their problems, not as pro- moters of narrow class interest, not as exploiters of the hapless consumer, not as merciless monopolists, but as honest ment bent on the improvement of the common veal.
 We can and must meet such men and such cause half way. Their business Is our busness-the nations business.

Wild animals across the sea some times get loose on the voyage. An English dealer who came over from India to England with S10000 worth of animals aboard sailing ship had such an experience.
 An Indian badger was loose for two weeks and specimen of the sacred monkey of northern India was out of its cage for nearly the whole voyage Where the badger concealed itself dur ing the day nobody knew, but the meat and boiled rice that were put out for 1t at night always disappeared before morning.
 The monkey lived up in the rigging comfortably enough, notwithstanding five feet of chain hanging to it's neck Food was put out for it every night and by day 1t satisfied its hunger by catching and eating the potatoes that the sailors amused themselves by throwing up to it.

Now, what is the farmer asking2 Without trying to catalogue the re- medial measures that have been sug- gested In his behalf, the principal pro posals that bear directly on the im- prevemeat of his distributing and mar keting relations may be summarized as follows :-
 First: storage warehouses for cot ton, wool, and tobacco, and elevators for grain, of sufficient capacity to meet the maximum demand on them at the peak of the marketing period. The farmer thinks that either private eapi- tai must furnish these facilities, or the state must erect and own the eleva- tors and warehouses.
 Second: weighing and grading of agricultural products, and certification thereof. to be done by imiartial and

To take a tolerant and sympathetic view of the farmers strivings for bet ter things Is not to give a blanket endorsement to any specific plan, and still less to applaud the vagarles of some of their leaders and groups. Neither should we, on the other hand, allow the froth of bitter agitation, false economies and mistaken radical ism to conceal the faets of the farm CTS disadvantages. and the practicable ity of eliminating them by well-con- sldered measures It may be that the farmers will not show the business sagacity and develop the wise leader ship to carry through sound plans; but that possibility does not justify the obstruction or their unEart efforts.
