"Turks Hum a Library," says a
headline. Truly, a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing. The Turks
knew just enough about the library
to know that it didn't meet any pur-

pose of theirs.

"There is an abundance of choco
late," says a canity manufacturer, re
asuring his customers against a
famine. So there seems to be of
sugar, too for candy makers, thanks
to the Nation's economical house
wives. -:o:-
Some promoters of hatred of every
thing German seem at times to have
forgotten the war altogether. They
become so interested in hating Hee
thoven, Goethe, Wagner and Schiller
that they forget all about the kaiser,
Von Hindenburg, the crown prince
and Von Tirpitz.
:o:
In 1916 the kaiser wrote to Von
Hethmann-Hollweg that he would
free the -world. "I have the cour
age," he wrote, "and will take the
step." Helgium, Poland, Russia,
Serbia, Rumania are testimonials
bot'n as to his courage and to his
idea of freedom.
:o:
"Master minds wlio will speed up
our war work," is a familiar head
ing, so many master minds having
been appointed to a few positions.
What a refreshing thing it would be
to wait, once, and see whether the
program is speeded up before we be
gin nominating the master minds!
:o: .
In (he Red Cross drive last year,
you gave until it hurt so you
thought. And then vou found to
your surprise that it didn't hurt any
thing like you feared it would. The
famous Red Cros-s hurt , turned but
to bo much like many other hurts
mainly psychological and never
really took place. Suppose you give
it a fairer test this year increase,
your subscription by 50 cr 100 per
cent, and then see -whether it hurts.
FORGETTING POLITICS.
In the early days of American
politics, congressional contests were
'settled by a party vote. If a recount
lof ballots showed that tho contest
l
1 really was close the majority of the
! committee always brought in a re
i port favoring its party candidat0, the
: minority found in favor of its man
; and the house of representatives di
vided on the same basis. The party
which controlled the house won the
contest.
Seating of Congressman Scott of
tho Eleventh district, a republican,
by a democratic house of representa
tives, after the contest showed a diff
erence of only four votes between his
total and that of Tom Steele, is evi
dence of a growing spirit of fairness
in our political organization.
We have scarcely yet reached the
point where an evenly divided house
of representatives would vote to un
seat any member holding color of
title, and thus turn the organizatior
over to the opposition. But the time
may come when ever such a course
would be taken.
The tendency of tho times is to
ward individual expression of opin
ion in congress. The party caucus
has practically disappeared, although
it was strongly in evidence three or
four years ago and is subject to re
vival. Senators and representatives
no longer feel called on to offer ex
planations or apologies when they
cast a deciding vote in favor of neas
ures inaugurated by tho opposition.
It is a question whether, except on
matters of organization, there have
been half a dozen strict party votes
in congress in as many .years.
This development of Individual
will in matters of legislation is part
of the same tendency expressed in
the seating of a republican congress
man by a democratic house. Party
affiliations no longer count for a
great deal in the making of laws.

-:o:
THE MAN WHO CAKE BACK.
Every man who enlists for service
in the war is a hero, and it doesn't
make a particle of difference what lie
does afterward, either, if ho is true.
The mere fact that his heart was
with his country when he signed the
enlistment papers is certainly suJli
cient to prove his Americanism and
his right to a corner in our memorv.
Those who have attempted to en
list, and because of the more rigid
examinations and requirements of
particularized service have been re
jected, only to be picked up by the
draft, where the specifications are
less exacting, are also in our class
of heroes, and to be respected ac
cordingly. But thn. man who has attempted
to enlist, has been rejected, has been
drafted and has later been sent home
for physical reasons with bus hon
orable discharge here is a man not
only to be honored but to be pitied.
We can only attempt to imagine
the feelings of a young American who
after many attempts to enter the ser
vice, finally departs in a draft con
tingent, only to return a few weeks
later with the wrist-watch or toilet
kit presented by his home-town com
rades still, in his possession!
He should be of good cheer, and
those gifts should mean just as much
to him as if he had accounted for a
score of Germans in their gory
trenches.
Heroism and Americanism are in
the heart and in the soul.
lie who tries to go is proven! The
man who came back is tried!
It is our opinion that some sort
of badge or insignia should be pro
vided, for these men of whom there
are thousands in the United States.

:o:
WANTS TO QUIT.
Congress wants to quite. Both
senators and representatives have
election tights on their hands. They
are anxious to get back home to
make 'sure of their standing with
the voters. Hence' the loud pro'.est
at the suggestion that adjournment
should ;nbt be taken early in July,
as contemplated. ; , ' '
There is need of congress being iu
session constantly while the war is
racing. It is a co-ordinate branch
of the government not a subordi
nate department. St. Joseph Ga

DEBTS OF WARRING NATIONS.
The London Economist for Feb
ruary places the total gross debt of
Great Britain at $27,730,000,000.
The French minister of Finance
in presenting the budget for 191S
estimated the public debt of France
on December 31, 191S, at $22,227,-
000,000.
The public debt of Italy at the
end of 1917 is estimated at $6,G7C,-
000,000.
The debts of tho Central Powers
are estimated as follows: Germany,
S2a,40S,000,000; Austria, $13,314,-
000,000; and Hungary, $5,704,000,
000. Our own public debt is now
around $S, 000, 000, 000, but more
than half of this amount has been
loaned to our Allies and will be re
paid us. It is estimated that of the
total net expenditures of the Unit
ed States for the fiscal year of 19 IS.
exclusive of our advances to our Al
lies, more than one-half will be de
frayed by taxation.
:o:
IF NOT, COME ACROSS.
If you do not want to contribute
to the Red Cross, there are two rea
sons you may assign for it, says the
K. C. Star:
1. That you are against the Unit-
c T States: that you refuse to help the
United States soldiers because you
v.-int to tee them defeated. That
you are opposed to France and Bel-
'mm. I'.ll 1:1 11 il :itii1 tlio TTnitnil
Slates and want to see them crushed
l y the Huns.
2. That you are too stingy to pnrt
with your money; that you wai.t to
get rich at tlie expense of your
c tmtry. That Vou love money more
than you do the cause for which the
American soldiers are lighting, or the
flag for which they fight.
If you want to offer either one of
t'.;ese excuses for not giving to the
Rod Cross, get right up in public
and make your declaration. It will
spare busy men and women the time
f calling on you again or waiting
while you "think it over."
:o:
KAISER AS A KNOW-NOTHING.
When Emperor William said to
the town council of Aix-la-Chape'.!e
tho other day that he believed "it is
r. w time to abolish all that is for
eign foreign to Germany, of course
w I i a t could he have meant? What
there of foreign origin in his em
pire that is not already outlawed?
Good faith disappeared long ago.
Treaties have been scrapped. Hu
manity has become a jest. Chivalry
heard of no more. Idealism is
cpenly rejected by tlie professors.
Religion is perverted by the pastors.
Truth is denied. Democracy is nun-
rhed. The idea of equality as be
wcen nations, like equality among
men, is reviled. Force and not mor
als is preached; fear and not security
; advocated; submission and not jus
tice is upheld. For the will of the
people there is no substitute but the
caprice of a sovereign or decree of a
military cliquo booted and spurred.
What, therefore, that is foreign re
mains in Germany, unless it be here
and there a conscience, and how is
tho kaiser to abolish that? New
York World.
You know you will find a com
plete line of flags at tho Journal of
fice. We have just received a new
upply.

Why not look to your kidneys?
Why not use Doan's Kidnty Tills?

Mrs. Hettie Cunmiings, Chicago
Ave.. Plattf mouth, s-ays: "I suffered
so severely I'rora my back at times
I could hardly get about. When I
got down. I had to t;ike hold of
something before I could straighten.
Sharp pains often caught me across
my kidneys and for a minute I
couldn't move, the pains were so se
vere. I couldn't rest well, mv back
ache-d so badly. I tried different
remedies, but nothing did me any
good until I began using Doan's Kid

that awful misery in my back and
made me feel like a different person."
