EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Here’s a bully good idea! Let’s have a law requiring every senator and congressman who votes for war 1 to enlist and go to the front. Then there’ll be no war! Robert J. Thompson, former; American consul at Aix la Chapelle. | Germany, wants congress to appoint' a commission to secure peace ini Europe. And we want congress to 1 keep its mouth shut and its nose at: home. Eat up! The department of agriculture reports that the United States is in no danger of a shortage in food supplies. If this country must be forced into war we expect our public office holders to be the first to enlist. Then we mere mortals can bask in the sunshine of their patriotism. And just why does the month of Aiarch remind one of Joe Cannon? Let every wheel turn—every plow move—every man work. There's gold at the end of the furrow. The dove of peace is having a hard time finding a place to light. Wheat is still flittering around somewhere below the $2 mark. If you want it, go after it. It won't come to you.
