If there is any truth in the charges made against hiru lie really ought not bo re-elected. While we do not believe everytliing we read, Mr. Hitchcock may have a hard job to convince a good many of his former friends that matters are not as rosy as they should be. A BARRAGE OF PRAYER. The senate has passed a resolution calling for daily prayer in behalf of the nation, its lighting sons, its cause. It is proposed that men and women everywhere and of every faith pause at the hour of noon to pray. There will be those who will speak scornfully of this proposal. Let them keep to themselves their unbelief. Millions of Americans will welcome the idea because it give.; nation expression to the truth that spiritual values are the supreme con cern in this war and that spiritual forces must have their part in win ning it. In a little folder Issued by some loop business men who have been meeting uawy lor prayer, an inci dent is told of the early days of the war: "When the telegram announcing the French victory over the German hordes at the battle of the Marue in September. 1014. was delivered at the English war department. Lord Roberts, who was in Lord Kitchen- ; er's olTice. said: "Only tJod Alhiighty could have done tin And Lord "Somebodv Kitchener said quietly: must have been praying." The same folder quotes General I'oeh as saying concerning prayer: "We shall he saved by it, and it will not be the lirst tim.; in this deadly struggle." The brave soldiers is rarely an un believer. He comes in such close I contact with the stark realities of life and death that be feels the need of God. If these men. who plan their battles in terms of man power, of guns and shell and aeroplanes, find place for a righteous cause, what civilian dare oppose his little three foot self if intellectual doubt? Some emphasize the objective value of prayer, some make more of its subjective value. The particular theory is of small moment. The vital tiling is recognition of tin spiritual significance of this great conflict. With few exceptions, all oi us. whatever be our creed, can find common ground here. Chicago Kvening Tost. -:o:- FROPIIET OF AMERICAN IDEALS. The circumstances under which Theodore Roosevelt spoke at Sara toga yesterday give his words a mov ing solemnity they could not other wise have had. He spoke not only as the one pub lic man who had foreseen from the beginning the significance of the war to America, and had striven might ily to arouse his country to the necessity of preparing against the day of need. He spoke al.o as the father who had laid all that was dearest to him on the altar, and who, in the name of the fathers and mothers of America, called for life saving efficiency in the prosecution of the war and for the overwhelm ing victory that alone would justify the sacrifices made. It was the American statesmen who spoke, but the statesman with the vision and the purpose that come only to those who have suffered. For at the time of bis address, of his four sons and one son-in-law at the front, one had been gassed, another had been disabled perhaps for life and was probably to be invalided hofije, while a third was reported missing in air battle. Three out of fiv in the eu:uJty lists, and the war just begun! Out. of that bit I cr experience came his plea for the greatest pssiblc ha.stf" lu thro ving all of America V ::iant. r:lr-ngtb into the task; for the Immediate -f "iision of the draft age ;tj(fj for armies overseas next year "jal in strength to Germany's. 'Ihnt. m a da to which the heart of Airi'-rjra will respond. It is the pba .r pat rioti.mii and humanity. In th-, prf-ente of a patriotic late;,.(ria,,,.),jp roijoecrated by such fcacrirre the whrill voice of malice and slander must die away. Theodore Il'Kx-M;velt at. Saratoga, under the shadow- of a torturing uncertainty for his Kou, pleading for a more e in dent citizenship, stands forth as he has stood for years, the man of vi sion and of execution, tho prophet of American Ideals. K. C. Star. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. To successfully finance the war it is-necessary that owners of Lib erty bonds hold their bonds if pos sible. Where for any good reason it is necessary for them to turn their bondr. into cash they should seek the advice of their bankers. Liberty loan bonds are very de sirable investments, and crafty in dividuals are using various means to secure them from owners not fa miliar with stock . values and like matters. One method is to offer to exchange for Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of 'doubtful organizations represented as returning a much higher income than the bonus. Thero are various other meth ods used and likely to be used, some of the gold brick variety and others less crude and probably with in the limits of the law. All oilers for Liberty bonds except for money and at market value should be scrutinized carefully. The bonds are the safest of investments and have nontaxable and other valuable features. To hold your Liberty loan bom!-, if possilvle. is patriotic. To consult, your bankers before felling them is wise. :o:- "0VER THERE" AND OVER HERE The news from Ihe front this week makes every American proud of his birthright, for it justities him entirely in his pride of being kind red in blood with tho "untrained handful of an army" that is going through the best of the Kaiser's picked troops, trained since their v..rly votith in the art of warfare and vaunted to the skies as the salt li" the earth. The wrld pay-, homage to these American lads from the farms, the stores and workshops even tlx- Germans- grudginglv admit they are! .'filters of the ti rs t class. Wlii!-1 t'.ey deserve every bit of prai-e, ev ery bit of i'dmirat ion, every (nr. of glory that comes to them, it should not be forgotten that their splendid, thrillfrg achievements have been made possible by thousands of other youngsters and elder men, as well, cf the same clean character ami sterling patricti-m, who have stay ed at home and labored in the ship yards. There they toiled. where the sun shines just as hot in the summer, and the frost nip. just a.; sharply in the winter; where the grime and dirt is just as thick, where bones frequently are broken. , PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL .

In all the history of the world there was probably never a nation so united in the prosecution of any object as the United States is today in the prosecution rtf the war. While there are a few slackers and an in significant number of pro-Germans, the fact is that every class of citi zens, young and old, men and wom en, are doing all that they can to aid in winning the war. It is espe cially noticablo among those still under age. In tens of thousands of school.--, both day schools and Sun day tehools, the children have been doing very valuable work. They have collected clothing for French refugees and U.elgian sufferers, they have solicited for war loans, they have secured millions of funds by the sale of war stamps after putting in all that they had of their own. and they have aided the Red Cross. At one country school where there were about twenty-live childicn in at tendance, they rai-ed $;."" for the i'renrh orphans-, and that kind of work is going on all over the coun try from the lakes to the gulf and from ocean to ocean. The sum total of if all amounts up toward a billion dollars in actual value. While that work is going on jimong tli" children the same earn est efforts are being made among old men and the women of tho na tion. Much of tho success so far won is due tin-in. The women have saved cwr v.-crap of loud and put their families on short rations, old nun have taken situations vacated by the young men who have gone to war; and sm;io of the women, no rat is tied with wiiat they have done, are asking to b drilled and armed that they may act as home guards. Russia is not. the only place where women arc willing to fight. Thi" country stands united and will tight this war to a victorious finish. World-Herald. :o: I.lHi VI. no I if i:.
