KANSAS CITY, Aug. If

l will attribute my victory to my
stand against war, which is one
of the most vital issues before
the people. II monarchical war
laws had not armed the Emperor
of Austria Hungary, King Peter
of Serbia, the Kaiser of Germany
and the Gear of Russia with the
right to wage war, the. recent war
would not have occurred and in
volved other nations and developed
into a world war. A limitation
of armaments, which will unarm
rulers, diplomats, politicians and
war agitators of the right To
cause war, and arm peace advo-
Gates with the right to crush war
agitation, is necessary to prevent
future outlaw wars.

An Unforgotten Hero.

A big load has been lifted from the mind of
one of Americas heroes, Scrgt. Alvin York. The
mortgage on his farm in the Valley of the Three
Forks of the Wolf has been paid off, Between
drouth and deAation he was for time brought
face to face with foreclosure.
The story Of this Tennessee mountaineer has
lately been told by Sam X. Cowan in book
called Sergeant York and His People," In all
biography it would be difficult to find more
picturesque or inspiring account of man hold
ing to his principles and standing by his people.
The mountaincers of the Cumberland are said
to be the purest Anglo-Saxons in America today.
In their customs, speech and manner of life they
are close to their ancestors, the American colon
lists. Marooned in their mountain fastnesses,
modernity has not found them. What overseas
service with its contact with new ways and
foreign people did for many country youths, it
did for Alvin York.
From his father he gained physical bravery,
brought him back hero, the other led him to
refuse to capitalize the homage of the people
and to refuse to go on the stage or lecture plat
form. The war had awakened his ambition, but
it was for his mountain race, not himself
Back again at his home" writes Mr.. Cowan,
"he asked that the people give him no more
gifts, but instead contribute the money to a
fund to build simple primary schools for the
children OF the mountains who had no schools"
Out Of his idea has sprung what is known as
the York Foundation, backed by many influential
people Of the south. Sergeant York went out
into the world, but he did not forget his own.
1t is heartening to see that the nation also re-
members and that his mountain farm is free
now from encumbrance.

Partners in Life.

"A marriage license is not permanent meal
ticket and it is not credit account at the dry
good store" says the marrying parson of Mary
lands gretna green. Neither, he advises is a
wife housekeeper but she is rather partner
in the business of life.
These observations are worth needing. Many
marriages today are unsuccessful because duty
and obliea alton are thrust on one party instead
Of being shared. Marriage should not be thought
of as way out of this or that unfavorable con-
dition, but Of way into the fuiie- opportunity
of life.
The clinging vine type of woman is not pop
>u1ar, either in fiction or life. The domineering
male holds his own in popular novels, but is far
from successful when he comes in contact with
thoughtful, capable modern woman.
Matrimony has many commandments, and
love has many strange ways Of manifesting it.
self, but most important Of all is the idea of
partnership. ~

Fords Run 81 Miles
On Gallon Gasoline
Start Easy in Coldest Weather.
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Saving.

A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption Of any
motor and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half is the
proud achievement Of the Air-Fric-
ton Carburetor Co., 1917 Madison
St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable.
invention not only increases the
power of motors from 80 to 60 per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. 1t also makes it
easy to start Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather. You can
use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power
and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gasoline. All
Ford owners can get as high as 34
miles to gallon of gasoline. So
sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send
it on 80 days trial to every car
owner. As it can be put on or taken
off in few minutes by anyone all
readers of this paper who want to
try it should send their name, ad-
dress and make of car to the manu-
facturers at once. They also want
local agents, to whom they offer
exceptionally large profits. Write

Take a Personal Inventory.

When by some turn of circumstance mis-
guided career ends in catastrophe thoughtful
observers are apt to make single comment:
"What could he have been thinking OFF,
The answer need hardly be spoken; the vic
tim OF his own misdeed was not thinking OF any
thing. There is an old French saying I'm every
thing one must consider the end" To do this
one must look within himself, examining his ac-
tions or his thoughts and tracing them to their
natural conclusions.
A young college student recently was ap-
pretended on the charge of stealing automobiles
in which to take girl friends riding. If he had

DANGERS of Exaggerahon.

This is nervous age, DR.. Henry Van Dyke
told a crowd Of students in Princeton university
chapel the other day. A period also Of exag-
Eeration, he held. "There is too great tendency
on the part OF some toward superstition" he
said. "The reverse side of this false coin is the
skepticism toward which the other part tends"
The quiet moderation in all things that the
ancient philosopher urged is indeed absent today.
One sees that in congress, where denunciation
holds the floor 1t is visible, too, in such efforts
as that at the Genoa conference, where the hope
was held out for time of curing all the ills Of
the world at one dose. People are nervously
keyed up to expect great things, and when fail
ure comes their superstitous belief that things
will be easily set right is apt to turn to disbe-
lief in all men and all things.
This is time for faith-faith in one self and
ones fellows, neither ovcrconhdence nor doubt.
The rewards of industry thrift, thought and hon.
esty are as sure today as ever they were. Quack
remedies, social, economic or political, have not
gained any new efficacy.
Mankind is more intelligent today than at
any other age of the world. Its problems now
are no harder than those surmounted by past
generations, and should be more easily solved,
if the matter is approached in the proper manner.
Superstitious reverence of institutions may ham,
per settlement, just as may undue skeptcism. The
thing is for mankind to adjust itself to its new
environment coolly, reasonably and without
prejudice or exaggeration.

Peace for a Weary World.

Most OF our troubles never happen so also
dread OF the unknown is rarely justified. Just
now the world is coming out from the clouds Of
strife and turmoil, and into a light where things
take on their true form and no longer appear
the grotesque exaggerated mcnaccs as viewed
through the mists OF uncertainty that surrounded
them few months ago. Faster than is realized
the progress of events has operated to joste the
surface at least Of an upheaved society into some
thing like natural relations, and people are lay
ing aside their warborn apprehensions to again
'pusue their favorite phantoms"
Whether the new world is a better one, leading
on to progress for humanity. and making for
more stable il not for permanent peace, or
whether it is merely truce between the warning
elements, preliminary to renewal Of the age
old clash Of ideas and ambitions, is not so inn
portant as is the fact that the pursuits Of peace
dominate those OF war once more. Politics, in.
dustry all the outlets for human energy are now
directed to the accomplishment of what at the
moment appears to be improvements. This is
encouraging, for man only sets about to better
the things that have served him well when he
can do so quietly and without fear of having to
defend himself Immediately. Civilization has
come to stage where it can postpone the max
ing of war better than any of its many occupa-
hons otherwise. .s.f,.
Philosophers and moralists agree that war
las not been banished beyond all possibility.
Evil still exists, and there are yet those who are
unwilling to be guided by the decision of the
majority. Agtression gtows from selhshness,
and that attribute Of man still delays its disap-
pearance. This unpleasant truth is more than
offset by the greater one that men are more nut
tually trustfu, more inclined to patience and for
Searance than ever, and that even in the busiest
81 moments have in mind their responsibility to
others alongside their demands for themselves.
Our national attitude is expressed in the re-
mark of President Harding with regard to the
soviets Whatever political conditions prevail
in Russia, American humanity will continue to
be American humanity" That is, we will give
Of our means to aid those in need, and not cease

Try to assist. Such an example will not fail to
influence the world, and because American genius
Is for peace the tranquility all long for eventually

Two Views Of Lincoln.

Omaha had the pleasure last week OF seeing
the John Drnkwater drama, founded on Abra-
ham Lincoln, enacted by company OF very
competent players. We also had the opportunity
OF contrasting Mr.. Drnkwater's conception Of
the great president with that OF Warren G. Har-
ding. as expressed in his fine address at the
dedication OF the Lincoln Memorial at Wash
ington last Tuesday.
In making comparisons care should be taken
not 10 omit an understanding Of the fundamental
difference in viewpoint Of the two men. The
English poet looked upon Lincoln through the
eyes OF inspiration; the American presden, re-
CARDS him from the standpoint OF a fellow citizen
we'll acquainted with forms and conditions OF
which the Englishman knows but little through
experience. This is natural, and accounts in
whole, perhaps, for the divergence; also for the
reluctance with which the people of America ap-
proach the Drinkwater portrayal OF Lincoln.
The poet has idcalized his characterization OF
the man, clothing him with qualities he made no
pretense to possessing while alive. II is not easy
for one accustomed to the fixed and long estab-
lished reactions of social life that prevail in
country like England, to realize the truth that
man came from the lowly station of Lincoln's
birth and boyhood, through vicissitudes of a life
that barely missed being that Of savages, to the
high place he attained in the world, unless it was
by some manifestation Of higher power direct
ing his destiny. That thought is unacceptable
while listening to the Drinkwater lines.
Mr.. Harding prefers to believe that
-. like Washington. Lincoln was a
very natural human being. with the frailties
mixed with the virtues Of humanity. There
are neither supermen nor demigods in the
government Of Kingdoms. empires or repub-
lies 1t will be better for our conce ption Of
government and its institutions IL we wilt
understand this fact.
If Americans only will understand that fact,
they will find their own faith in their own powers
strengthened and democracy made the more
worthy. Grateful as we must be to Mr.. Drink
water for his fine portrature of great man,
it is more comforting and encouraging to think
that Abraham Lincoln was a man, and that he
was the archetype of the common people, of
whom he once said God must have loved them
or He would not have made so many of them.

High Cost of Politics.
From the Washington Post.


Compared to some state primary election
contests that have attracted national attention,
the cost OF the Clifford Pinchot campaign Tor the
gubernatorial nomination in Pennsylvania, $121.-
705, does not seem excessive. However. 1t
doubtless has surprised many persons to learn
that Mr. Pinchot personally was put to an eX-
pense Of $93,562 in waging his fight, while his
wife's contribution of $29,500 brought the fam
lily campaign account to total of $i23,662 1t
simply shows the use of money in primary cam
paigns Is not necessarily limited to the perpetu-
vancement Of candidates backed by despised po-
ltical machines Even the reformer appreciates
the power OF the dollar when strongly fortified
by its kind, and without quams adapts it to
practical use in the furtherance OF his ambition
to serve the pubic for the greater public veal
But the successfully conducted Pinchot fight
against the republican state machine in Penn
sylvana also offers further proof that the direct
primary is not poor mans game. Mr.. Pinchot
won by a narrow margin, considering the total
vote cast at the primary; had he not been rich
man able to contribute literally of his wealth
as well as his ardor for the cause and what he
believes to be better state government, he could
not in all probability have made his ideals pre-
vail. His opponent in the gubernatoral nomin-
alton race, Attorney General Alter who had the
"organization' backing, filed campaign expense
account amounting to the modest sum of ST.,
1880. Had the latter had more money to con-
tribute in his behalf, or had Mr.. Pinchot met his
opponent on terms of financial equality-well
the result, as limited, might have been different.

Speeding Up Justice.


Seventy-ive per cent Of the cases which now
clog the supreme court in New York City are
said to involve relatively small sums of money
and no important points Of law. They most
ly business disputes; Judge and jury are com
PEELED to listen to the testimony Of rival experts
and the wranglng of lawyers and then guess
which side comes nearest to telling the truth.
Dispute after dispute could be settled in a few
hours by conference out OF court with the aid
of an arbitrator who knows the conditions in
the particular business in which the dispute
arises. Proceeding on the basis of these facts
the Arbitration society Of America is setting up
tribunal of arbitration to which disputants
may by common consent apply for disinterested
and expert arbitration.
An act Of the New York legislature in 1920
legalized this sort of arbitration and gave the
arbitrators the right to subpoena witnesses The
plans of the Arbitration society have been widely
endorsed by judges and lawyers and business
men. Twenty-four hours after publication of the
scheme twelve applications had been made to
the society. II it does nothing more, this un-
common application of common sense will great
ly relieve the strain on the courts. We hope
that it will also give impetus to other attempts
to substitute social action through voluntary as
sociations for too great dependence on in
