PULLING THE SPANGLED LEG

Will the campaign OF foreign pro
paganda never cease!
We are severly criticised because
we do not open our money bags an(
pour their contents into the bank
rupt treasures of Europe.
We are importuned and wheadle'
to cancel the billions of war debt,
due US from our late allies.
We are charged with desertinA
them because we are not willing tC
embroil ourselves in the tangled af
fairs of the nations across the seas
We are denounced as war profit
eers because we sold to the late vic
tors in the war the munitions ant
supplies with which they prosecute
that war-and they were sold upol
the insistent plea of those nations.
We are told that it is our dut!
to come to the aid of civilization
but with gold in our hands.
And now comes the Greek naticr
with a demand that we let down ou,
immigration bars and open our door.

God forbid!
1t is because of the presence Of
so many foreign malcontents in thi
country that we are in a constan
state of internal turmoil, with the
shadow of bolshevistic revolution an;
plunder always lowering as menar,
in the background.
Admit million and a half diree
from the hotbed of intrigue and fan
aticism?
Never!
Men and women of foreign brit
who have come to US in the pas
and have proven themselves to b,
good citizens are welcome, and W
extend to them the hand of fellow
ship and good will.
But they constitute a sufficiency.
If Greece needs aid in feeding hei
own people who are forced by cir
cumstances to return to their native
land, we will extend that aid in tho
same manner that we have been do |
ing 1T in various countries in The |
Past-through the Red Cross and
other such agencies.
No one can charge the United |
States with being niggardly in feed

is being written, our foof

sent abroad in great quantities fo,
this very purpose, and hundreds a

WHO WEARS THE SHOE?

The British government sent hom,
an American consul in England who
t was charged, had been too Jealous
n obtaining cargoes for American
ships.
According to published reports a
British consul in New York has been
guilty of the same offense-that IF
overzealousness in obtaining Ameri-
can cargoes for British ships-only
many times more guilty.
1t is even charged-and facts are
lted-that conspiracy is in exist

irlye American ships from the seas.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE CITIES

Kansas Municipalities Are Pay

kansans who have been feeling low
and depression because OF the sad ex-
preston CT the village banker, might
as wei perk up a Bit In spite OF the
Sar shortage, the bad news from the
wheat market and uncertainty as to
the price of beef steers on hoof, the
state has been able TO keep up a
rather brave front during the last
three months. Just in order toilet the
world know that things at home are
net in such a deplorable condition as
the politicians imagine, Kansans
bought $1,000 new automobile since
July as a slight evidence of pros
perity.
with a political campaign going full
blast the joy killers have been racing
up-and down the state looking for dry
shoulders on which to shed a few
extra tears. Now Just when there is
a tendency to put a final clincher on
gloom and ask the sheriff to kindly
come over and gather up the wreck
age, Norton A Turner, state auditor,
has found several evidences of joy.
He not only found that Kansans had
been doing a little celebrating as in
divfduals. but that they had been
quietly and patiently paying their bills
and hadn't sent in a riot call while
they were doing it,
In the three months from July 70
October ] state records show that
Kansans bought $1,000 new motor
cars. At an average cost of 500 for
each car the expense item for new
machines was $e4.960.000. And that
has nothing to do with new tires, gas
oline and the unholy repair bills.
Cities Make Improvements.
But Kansas didn't go in for the
purely frivolous things during the
three months While a group of vol
unteer calamity artists were selecting
a receiver for the states affairs, kan
sas municipalities were going right
ahead with necessary imprOvem ents.
They were also paying off some old,
outstanding debts. Fact is the last
fiscal year showed an enormous in
crease both in bond issues and retire
lnent of bonds.
The total valuation of property in
Kansas in July. 1917, was S3,0T5,2T3,-
