 ''The best part about the wigg1ng which the people have given the polls in many parts of the country to the party in power is that the Wigging well deserved. The party in has neglected it's op- portunity paered in the face of grave and pressing problems, played fast and lost with the veterans of the Great War goose-stepped before organized bands of noisy mnorites honeyfugled the pacifiss enacted tariff bill that have repeatedly said, is a dis grace to the Republican party and a to the nation,' insuted the intelligence and inflamed the passion of the electorate in many parts of the country by appointments to office that indefensible on any score--for example k.

 Instead of leadership in the lower house of Con gress the Republicans have Up oligarchy con sisting of MondeIl of Wyoming, Madden of Illinois, Kelley of Michigan and Anthony of Kansas-the worst of the lot.

 The home of John Cothren and Jim Smith, at 720 South Sixth street, was the scene of a terrific explosion last night at 11:10 when that, house was shaken to it's foun- dation as a result of blast, presum- ably to have been due to ignition of nitroglycerine, in the opinion of those who have viewed the damage. One officer expressed the opinion that it was can of powder that was exploded, Several particles of tin were embedded in the side of the house, many window glasses were smashed and weather-boarding at the southwest corner of the struc- ture was considerably torn by the blast. The explosion was the second to have taken place in the city within the past ten days, the other having been the one that occurred at the Walker boarding house Ar mistice night November 11th, at the corner of West Main and South Second street, when much damage was done to that property.
 The residence that was given the blast last night is the property of lJ. A. Stamps and is a four-room bungalow, It has been occupied by the families of Messrs. Cothren and Smith for several weeks. MT. Goth ren has wife and child, while MT. Smiths family is composed of him self and wife. The men are employ ed at the Missouri Pacific railway shops as boiler washers and some have expressed the opinion that the blast of explosive at their home last night was the result of prejudice against the men on the part of some one or more misguided indiyid- uals. However, the men are working l in department of tho shops that were not, it is said, concerned in the recent strike. The two mel

 According to statements made as result of last nights episode, two men were seen to drive up to the Cothren Smith home just prior to the explosion. It is said they were driving Ford roadster, lights out and the license number of the car absent Immediately following the blast, or about the time the blast occurred, it is said persons observed the vehicle drive at live ly rate of speed going east on Park street to Fourth, thence north in the direction of the city. 1t was stated that a man was seen to leave Ethe vehicle as it paused at the corner of Fourth and Park streets Ms. Cothren and her two-year- old child and Mrs. Smith were at the home alone when the bomb was planted and exploded.

LETTERS TO THE LEAGUE.

Mail clerks in the offices of the League of Ma tions lead busy life addition to a vast amount of legitimate ofcia correspondence there is an amaz- ing assortment letters either misdirected or sent by cranks who would like to tell the League what to do and how to do it.
 It is said that most of these crank letters come from citizens nations represented in the League The United States leads in sending such mssives to Geneva; Germany and Russia follow closely
 Some of this unnecessary mail comes from mis- taken conception of the Leagues purpose There are persons who seek the addresses of reliable doctors, who want help in finding lost relatives who appeal for funds or who aid in solving domestic prob lems Then there are still others who seek League backing in putting their favorte hobbies, such as making world bone-dry, reforming the calendar, establishing a universal language, and so on.
 In way, all this deluge of queries, advice and criticism pays compliment to the League itself Although the oupourng represents incomplete un- derstanding of the Leagues purpose it tesfes never theless to knowledge of it's existence and to world faith in its possibilities. If it is to bring world peace, say some of the writer's why not individual and family peace?
 Hundrdes of persons to whom international politics mean little realize vaguely that organization has been founded which benefit the whole world in way, time, and so they turn to it with their foolish personal problems If all these followers could be educated in its true and working what an international army of constructive boosters thoy would make!

 Nowhere does there appear any pronounced senti- nent for the repeal of the prohibition arenunent and return of strong drink and the old-fashioned saloon but there a widespread sentiment for a relaxation of the provisions of the Volstead enfocement law.
 But Senator Frelnghuysen himself mentions Q exception which strengthens the dry sentiment of the country and cuts through the wet sentiment of industrial city.
