before taking over the Anti-Saloon
League account for him usually re-
questing his followers to vote for Re-
publican candidates? Is he one of
those Republicans that places the Re-
publican party above the nation? If
the Anti-Saloon League should at any
time by vote Of its members decide
to support the Democratic candidates
would Bro. Shupp forsake the Repub-
lican party and vote for the Democrat
ic candidates? Did the Republican
organization of this state have Shupp
placed in the position he now holds in
order to use his organization to fur
Their the interest of the Republican
party in this state? Bro. Shupp says
he is for Brewster because he is dry,
and William Sacks, who ran for the
Republican nomination on wet plat
form, is out in a circular letter asking
his friends to support r. r. Brewster.

who are backing and supporting the
Anti-Saloon League from the best and
purest Of motives being misled by one
who would divert the supposed inten-

THE HOPE OF CIVILIZATION

What Premier Lloyd George said to
a gathering of the Free Churchmen of
England is not calculated to inspire
any hope for the future security and
well-being of the world. He did not
soften his words for delicate ears
when he said that mankind is headed
toward another colossal world cata-
cysm that will endanger the whole
structure of civilization, nor did he
mince words with the leaders of re-
ligious thought who heard him when
he said that if the churches of the
United States and England do not do
something to avert the impending
terrible tragedy they might just as
well close their doors and admit that
their mission has been a failure.
The head of the British government
during the last few years has been a
sad witness to the revival Of national
selfshness, jealousies, hatreds, and
decetions and preparations for armed
conflict. Regardless of the agree
ments reached at Washington for the
limitations of ornaments many of the
nations are hard at work on more
terrible instruments of war than those
used in the last great tragedy. Nor
are these death-dealing devices in
tended for the preservation OF peace,
Some of them openly are intended Tor
the destruction of undefended cities
and the killing and mutilation Of non.
conIbatant citizens, and the makers Of
these terrible implements are not try
ing to conceal their purposes.
After all that Lloyd George mas
seen and heard in connection with the
enlightenment of former enemies and
the arrangement of recent friends
Il will interest as well as shock the
world to hear him acknowledge the
failure of efforts to bring the nations
of the world to basis of friendship
and mutual understanding And when
he saws that the League of Nations
offers the only hope of civilization ms
words should be doubly interesting TO
those who are content to sit supinel
while the costly work done by Amer
lean soldiers and citizens to wage a
war to end wars is allowed to come TO
nothingness. We commend THESE
words of the premier to the petty pol
iticians who defeated American par
ticipation in the League of Nations:
Il speak advisedly when | say. that
if the league fails, then civilization is
doomed. You have at this moment the
strongest passions in the heart-fear,
revenge, hatred, love of home and
love Of kings-ranging themselves on
the side of war"
And is there any enemy OF the
League of Nations who will deny that
if that organization should fail the
greater part of the blame for its fail
1re must lie upon our own country;
whose sons were largely Instrumental
in forming the league? God forbid
that the world should ever again be
bathed in blood as it was during. the
dark years of 1914-1918; but if 1t
should be, will not the hands Of those
who defeated the league be so deeply
Owed in human gore that all the wa
ters of the seven seas cannot cleanse
them? Those who defeated the
league took terrible burden on their
shoulders. For the sake Of civilization
we hope it can be borne, but the words
of Lloyd George are not calculated to
inspire any confidence Commercial

the peoples money in the form Of
subsidies to the powerful ship owners
and railroad companies. He stands In
the gap to protect the American peo-
pie against the avarice and greed OF
plutocracy. Some of us may have
not agreed with him on some matters
of expediency, but all Democrats do
stand with him for the great funda-
mental of human liberty for which the
Democratic party has fought, for
which it now fights and for which it
must continue to fight if human equal
ity and liberty are long to survive.
For what does Reeds antagonist, X.
r. Brewster, stand? He stands for
all those obsolete and antequated
theories and practices of government
that have builded in this country an
olacarchy of power and wealth that is
more powerful than the national gov
eminent itself. He stands for cen.
tralization of power in the hands OF
the national government, and for tax
ing the many for the exclusive bene-
fit of the rich and dangerously power
full. He is opposed to practically eev-
erything for which the Democratic
party has fought through all these
long years. A longer continuation OF
his kind in control of the national
government may mean the destruction
of those governmental institutions SO
dear to the hearts of the masses and
which are essential to the perpetual
ton of our liberties.
In defense of the rights of man
kind it is fitting that every Democrat
buckle on the armor of democracy
and battle for the election of Senator
james A. Reed, who stands for all
those things essentially fundamental
in a free government, and for the fur
Their reason that he is his party's nomi-
inee and the standard bearer for 1t
in the fall election in this state.--Ca-

HERE is SOME
SOUND MONEY SENSE

Thomas R. Marshall, who retained
his good humor through eight years
as Vice. President, has recently re-
turned from tour of Europe. In
Washington he called at the White
House and told of his trip.
In his stories there is ground for re-
Election by the American public.
For one thing, Mr.. Marshall said
that he had just received a report OF
the last years operations of his lU0-
acre farm in Indiana. His net profit
was $236. 49,,
The former Vice President was at
loss to understand the financial tan
gle in Europe. The people were work.
ing and there was plenty of crops,
but money was a mystery. Mr.. Mar
shall went to the bank to cash
check; the cashier had not heard the
exchange rate for an hour and called
on the telephone to get it; Mr.. Mar
shall made so marks by the precaution.
Mr.. Marshall contracted one day for
an umbrella at 10000 kronen or $3.50.
He returned two days later, and found
that meantime the article had fallen
to value equivalent to $l.83.
From Mr.. Marshall's 100 acres IN
Indiana to the printing press money
of Europe seems a long way puI
there is something that bridges IT,
That is the plentitude of crops, with
the futility of money to exchange
them. Presumably, Mr.. MarshaiIs
farm was planted in a reasonable
manner, yet it failed of a profit: In
Europe Mr.. Marshall reports plenty
but it fails of distribution sufficiently
to provide for the wants of all.
We hear despairing pleas for help
for Europe. From Wall Street, learn
ed financiers give out statement after
statement to show that we must go
to the aid of Europe. Earl Balfour
recently invited rebuff from this
country by suggestion Of cancella-
ton of the war debts owed to us.
France is constantly suggesting, al
most demanding, debt cancellation.
Russia wants financial aid.
Except for comparatively few
pleas for real help for remote impov-
erished districts, these pleas from
and on behalf of Europe are purely
financial pleas. Europe, already
gorged to its fill with its excess sup.
ply Of so-called money, wants more OF
our kind of money, the supply OF winch
is too limited here to permit adequate
returns to agricultural enterprises
Wall Street financial interests, bub-
bling over with sympathy for stricken
Europe, would like to take over the
proposition of marketing debt refund
ing bonds, on which they would col
lect a handsome commission, and
Financial systems in Europe and in
the United States are inadequate. In
lands of plenty there is want. For
production there is little return. FL
nancial interests profit hugely by the
inadequacy of money, and fight bitter
ly any attempt TO- disturb the man
do not profit from the money-tangle,
the producers and the consumers, to
compel the revision Of the money sys-
tem.-Dearborn Independent.

WHY REED INSTEAD

Senator James A. Reed stands for
and defends those fundamental princi,,
pies of free government enunciated
BY the Immortal jefferson, baptised in
the blood of martyrs, and sanctioned
by the service of patriots who have
given their lives on crimson battle
fields to establish and maintain them:
He stands against Capitalization OF
government in the hands of the ma
tional congress and the vesting of ex-
cessive power and authority in the
hands of the national executive. He
fights against the peraiscious practice
of the Republicans of taxing the many
by way Of tariff for the sole benefit
of the rich and powerful. He opposes
the Republican policy of giving away

Were selling lumber and other
building material at the same prices
we sold it eight or nine years ago, but
the buyers are fewer than have seen
them for ten years"
That was all the information need
ed to prepare folder announcing the
prices Of lumber and building material
were now back to pre-war prices at
--Lumber Co.'s yard.
About three months after the 1000
folders were sold this lumber COM
pany, | made inquiry as to how bust
ness was. "Oh, it's picking up some,
but far from what we expected. Spring
has come and gone and there haven't
been over a dozen houses built since
we announced our prices were back to
a normal basis"
l prepared a blotter, announcing
that prices for building material
would become no lower, and it would
pay lot owners to build at that time.
This design was shown the manager
Of the lumber company. He found ev-
cry fault he possibly could find with
it, and then said;
am think it over"
every well, sir, but remember can
not hold this advertising idea for you.
The form is on the press now, so III
just change it to another lumber COM
pany, and see what the other fellow
thinks of the idea. By delaying the
matter additional expense would be
added to both of u.s."
"You can distribute 1000 blotters
for me, and I'll let you know if they
do any good"
/ met this man on the street week
after the distribution of the blotters
and he stated that he was satisfied
By Mac.

ST. LOUIS PRECINCT?

The Election Board, says a st.
Louis paper, is seeking to have one of
five of the Democrats who ran for
nomination for the Circuit bench in
stitute contest, in order to investi-
gate the vote in the sixteenth precince
of the Nineteenth Ward, where, it
has been discovered, none of these
five candidates was credited on the
tally sheet with any votes, while each
of the eight other candidates was
credited with 49 votes There We're no
tally marks on the sheet, but the vote
count was written out.
The five who were credited with no
votes We're Moses N. Sale, Charles
Williams and O'Neill Ryan, who were
nominated, and Clyde W. Wagner and
Harold R. Small. In the official count
Sale was nominated over Small by 10
votes, there having been nine nomi-
nees. 1t is possible contest would
change this result. Each of the six
precinct election officials has denied
knowledge of the matter.

permit sale of beer and wine re-
vived among Administration lead
ers today a proposal for a liquor
tax levy to aid in meeting the Gov
ernment's deficit, help pay for q
bonus, and other extraordinary de-
mands which possibly will be made
upon the Treasury
The vets N Congress are count
ing upon strong accessions 70 their
ranks in the fall elections. The
drys frankly admit that they ex-
pect to lose some Of their adherents
in the coming campaigns. Some
Of the Republican leaders have
been impressed by the demands
from constituents for amendment
Of the enforcement act, to allow
sale Of non-alcoholic beverages, un-
der certain restrictions.
A beer and wine tax would
tighten the burden of the Treasury
and simplify the present problem
Of heavy financing, officials de-
clared. Government actuaries es-
timated tax Of IS per barrel on
beer and a reasonable tax on light
wine would give the Treasury more
than 5000, 100000 a year in reve-
nue..
This estimate falls below that of
the brewers, who claimed such a
tax would produce a revenue of
$500, 900, 900. figured on beer con-
sumption alone.
The present complexion of Con-
gress renders change In the dry
