"LOYALTY DAY' I'riday, April (",, is "loyalty day" in Kansas. Gov. (Tapper has issued a proclamation calling upon all citizens to eclehrat? that tlay hy displain Mass in their homes and places of business, by holding public meetinjH and by sending messages . f support and encouragement to the president and congress, rutriotic exercises will be he'd in all the schools. It3 a pood idea. To be sure, every day should be "loyalty day", but special celebrations have their value. .vuch an observance will intensify the patriotism of any itizen who participates in it, and will serve to quicken the loyalty of the entire community. It's easier, somehow, to bubble over with loyalty on set occasions, and in like-minded crowds, than when left to our own Jevice3. But why April ? Wouldn't it br more appropriate to hold such a celehrUion on April when congress assembles to take up the momentous work awaiting it?

"AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY." ! "Your 'copperhead peace copy refused. We have no aid, comfort or encouragement to lend to the emperor of Germany, and can get a Ion'-; without his money." It is The News-Times answer ,to a telegraphic order and copy for a page advertisement to have run yesterday, received indirectly, from the Kmergency Peace federation, 70 Fifth aw, the same aggregation that is planning to swoop down upon Washington early next week in an attempt to stampede the president and coiKress into some sort of surrender to the kaiser and his The advertisement runs as an appeal to "Americans of the West", urging them to et behind the "Americans of the Mast", and join by letter and telegram in the insult that the east is preparing to he hurled into the face of American patriotism .and intelligence, though, of course, "insult" is not what they call It. We backwoodsmen out here "You in the west do not realize how we are being stampeded "into war you reelected I'res't Wilson because 'he kept us out of war' tell him with one voice that he should still keep us out of war ; is America so without intelligence," etc. well, we are apparently supposed to jump through the hoop like so many trained pups at this "heck a nil call" of the "wise men of the east," but the east need not worry. We "in the west" may not be as bright as they "of the east", but there are a few things that we t' nk we lea'.ize; occasionally something that we imagine wo know. Oi:e of those things is that Tres't Wilson in keeping "us out of war" has already exhausted about all the patience the genuine American people have; and now, Germany having "slapped us on the other cheek," we have no more cheeks to turn. We say "genuine American people" in order that such as the makeup of the "Emergency I'eace federation' need not be included. Their patience with Germany, seems absolutely unlimited. We doiVt suppose they ever thought of such a thing as taking it up w ith the kaiser to "keep us out of war." The west i no more anxious fcr war than the east; inl we dare say, no less sensible to the conditions that are plunging us into war, insolar as we are really being plunged. It isn't altogether H question of militarists and preparedists either. Just such organizations as the 'T'mergency Peace federation", are doing as much as anything. It is upon them that the kai-er depends to keep America divided, if possible; depends to befuddle the issue here in America while he goes n terrorizing the seas, and pacing the way to di lination of the earth. The News-Times can hardly be accused of being a "war" organ. o; of standing for "frenzied" prepaiedness. and what is more, and better still, we hope, that we may never be accused of being .tgair.st the I'nited tatt s. and especially to favor such

a conscienceless autocrat as Kaiser Wilhelm. All j

It can be raised by issuing bonds and thereby mortgaging the future, as Germany has done. It can be raised by combining lag loans with special taxes, as Kngland and France have done. Or it tan be raised entirely by taxation, imposing a heavy burden while the war lasts but leaving the nation free of war debt afterward. It has been reported from Washington that the government favors adopting the last method. It would defray nearly all the extraordinary war expenses by means of an income tax increased all along the line. The smaller taxable incomes might be made to yield live per cent. The rate would increase rapidly with the size of the income. In the case of the largest, it might amount to confiscation. It is calmly proposed by some advocates of this plan that the government shall take for war purposes the whole excess of all personal incomes over $1 00,00) a year. The returns for Ul show more than 2.500. persona in this class. There are about one hundred and fifty Americans with incomes in excess of $1.000,000. It is estimated that the proposed surtax on large incomes would yield $2,000.000.000 to $3,000.000,000 a year. Corporation incomes would suffer a similar pruning. There is talk of "conscripting" the earnings of corporations in excess of a moderate ieturn, say six or eight per cent. The mere tentative suggestion of such a plan has naturally aroused a good deal of excitement among citizens who would be directly affected. The proposal is radical, to be sure. But the nation as a whole doesn't seem much shocked by the idea. We're getting used to radical measures in this topsy-turvy time, and property isn't so sacred as it used to he especially big, centralized blocks of property. It is felt pretty generally hat it's only fair to make the rich pay the bulk of the war expenses, since it's the poor who do the bulk of the lighting and war is waged to protect the rich man's property as sorely as to protect the poor man's life. It is felt, too, that at nuch a time as this, when so much is at stake in national and individual life, no man or corporation has a right to pile up wealth. Surely, when half the world is hungry and many millions are homeless, and the very foundations of civilization are endangered, $100,000 a year ought to be enough for any man.

TWIRLING HIS MUSTACHE. The abdication of the Russian czar and his imprisonment in his own palace have awakened much curiosity as to the real character of Nicholas Romanoff. Now Nicholas the man emerges, with his royal trappings stripped off. And what is there left? A correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle asks, "Was there a man, after all, behind the veil of majesty of emperor of all (the Russias?" And his account of Nicholas behavior before and after his dethronement seems to suggest that there was nothing. "S-'ince the revolution rent the veil, he has said nothing to show that he ever had the spirit of a monarch. He has expressed no will of his own, has made no outcry and no protest, has submitted tamely, has expressed no opinion, has said 'Yes', 'Very well', I agree', I abdicate for myself and son. 'Thank you', 'Good-bye', as If he were discussing the weather at an .afternoon call." The correspondent tells how, while the revolution gathered to a head, Nicholas "strayed about like a bundle of lost luggage", until he was taken into custody by Gen. Alexieff at a railroad station. "Crossing the platform amid the silence of the crowd, he held his right hand at salute, and with his left nervously twirled his mustache. That gesture was characteristic. It was always Nicholas' way, instead of deciding, instead of acting, to twirl his mustache and look in another direction. His ministers constantly complained that he would not say 'yes .r 'no,' and that his invariable reply to important requests was to stare at them with glassy, uncomprehending eyes, or look out of the window, twirling his mustache." And this was the man who had held in his hand th destinies of lt50.000,000 people, the arbitrary master of their property and their lives. For twenty-two years, the most vital period in Russian history, this feeble, weak-minded shadow of a man had been "twirling his mustache" and "staring with glassy, uncomprehending eyes", while a great nation, potentially perhaps the greatest in the world, struggled slowly out of medieval darkness and fought its way toward freedom and enlightenment. Was there ever a more convincing example of the follv and wickedness of the "divine right" doctrine?

By a ;Merni?ient l'ixrt. The home gardener will usually find it advantageous to grow small Quantities of certain specialties which will add to the attractiveness of the family fare, and which fewhousewives will trouble to buy. Among these may be mentioned okra or gumbo. The young pods of this plant are the part used. These are employed principally in soups to which they impart a pleasant flavor and a sticky consistency'. The best pods are grown on young plants, but if the pods are removed before they are allowed to ripen, the plants will continue to produce thm until killed by frost. The seeds of okra should be sown in the open after the ground has become quite warm, or the plants may be started in berry boxes in the hotbed and transplanted in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. The rows should be four feet apart for the dwarf sorts and five feet apart for the tall kinds, with the plants two feet apart in the row. Detailed information on this plant is contained in Farmers' Bulletin 2: 2, "Okra; Its Culture and Uses." Mustard greens may be produced on almost any good soil. The basal leaves are used for greens and are cooked like spinach. The plants require but a short time to reach the proper stage for use and frequent sowing should be made, therefore. The seeds arc- sowed thickly in drills as early as possible in spring or for late use in September or October. Ostrich plume is a reliable variety. Parsley is used chiclly to garnish meat dishes and to llavor soups. The seed is sow n either thickly in a drill or broadcast in the autumn or early spring. A square yard of space will be sutficient for all the parsley that the average family is likely to desire. Spinach, however, is perhaps the most favorite crop grown for green?, and every home gardener should plant it. Around Norfolk, Ya., and to the south of it large areas are cut at any time through the winter when the fields are not frozen or covered with snow. North of the latitude or Norfolk spinach can be planted in the autumn and carried over the winter by mulching with straw or leaves. The seed should be sown in drills one foot apart, at the rate of one ounce to a 100 feet of row, or 10 to 12 pounds per acre. A rich loam is required for success. There is, perhaps, no other garden Vrop which gives as much satisfaction as spinach. Ordinarily it occupies the land during the autumn and winter and not not interfere, therefore, with the production of summer vegetables. Three or four ounces of seed planted in the autumn after the summer crop has been harvested will produce an abundance of greens for the average family during the late autumn and early sprintr. In gathering spinach the entire plant is removed instead of merely cutting off tho leaves. By selecting the larger plants first, the smaller or later ones are given room to develop. This method does away with the necessity of thinning.

More confused than hurt, he scrambled to his feet right in the path of a motorcycle coming on the other side of the tar. and was again bowled over. As lie once more got up he looked at the car and then at the motorcycle. "Huh!" he said. "I didn't know the blamed thing had a colt." Ladies' Home Journal.

You haven't much opinion of his judgment When you se e his feathers ruffled by the storm; He might just as well be singing where the fronted palms are swinging And the spicy southern breeze is soft and warm. He was comfortable, and light of heart and happy, As he fluttered in the semi-tropic zone. Darting through the bending banyans with his chattering companions; And he'd better have left well enough alone. But he listened to the call of wild adventure, Threw discretion to the winds, and hurried forth. Heeding not the voice of reason, like a fool he rushed the season, Till he landed, with a blizzard, in the north. Now he sits and cheeps and ruffles up his feathers.

WOMKN DO NOT YOTU. (Louisville Post, Dem.) The women, whenever given a chance, make it clear they do not want the ballot, and when, in the face of their protests, they have it thrust upon them they do not use it. Let tho-:e who doubt this stater merit read an article by ;lr. .1. S. Eichelberger, which appeals in the "Woman's Protest", an anti-suffrage organ, in which the national election is thoroughly analyzed and the fact mathematically demonstrated that the women will not vote, even when they have the right to vote. Mr. Kiehelberger says. taking Illinois, 152 men vote to every 1O0 women. The vote did not affect the result. The assumption is that the women will vote inj a body. As a matter of fact, they divide and vote with the men. For Pres't Wilson and Mr. Hughes combined. 14 4.4 men

voted to every 100 women. For(

Pres't Wilson t 4 S men v oted for every 100 women, and for Mr. Hughes l.'l men voted to every 100 women. Mr. Eichelberger says that In Illinois alone is it possible to separate the votes of the women from those of the men. In Illinois 41 percent of the double suffrage vote was cast. From Mr. Eichelbergers analysis it appears that male-suffrage Delaware, with only r,6.ono men. cast more votes than woman-suffrage Wyoming, with '"on men and 0 0 0 women. This is the state that has had woman suffrage the longest. The combined proportion of eligible who vote falls below SO percent in six of the 12 suffrage states and only in one Mormon, Utah does it rise to the masculine average of 70 percent. Pres't Wilson obtained a larger Popular majority r,.ci'4 in the 12 male-suffrage states than in the 12 woman-suffrage states (7.0'i:'). Mr.

f Hughes, who actively bid i"r tne

woman vote obtained 4 7 to I 5 electoral votes in the male suffrage states and only "4 of the M electoral votes cf the woman-suffrage states. Pres't Wilson carried anti-suffrage

j nh;o and suffrage ' am tiü.i

about th- same plurality percentage as Mr. Huehos carried ar.ti-suff race Wot Virginia and suffrage Illinois. We think thee tic'ires clearly prove thre propositions: Fiit That the agitation for woman suffrage is from a small rotcrie cf women who are trying to force it upon the great body ft women against their wishes. Second That after the bailor. i forced upon women the women do r.ot use it. Some vote frc-n a sense o' duty, who are opposed to votin?;

but even tliis addition does not secure a vote ef 50 percent. Third That even where women vote they have no effect, no influence upon the election; that is, they do not alter results, the results being the same in states having woman suffrage as they were before the franchise was given them.

SPLITTING II A FI 1 1 CA. (Poise, Idaho, Statesman.) Victory for the allies will cost (Iermany more than 1.000,000 square

miles of colonial territory inhabited j

by more than 15,000.000 people if the allies held to their jointly announced intention of refusing to return the African. Asiatic and Pacific possessions of the German empire. The greatest of these losses, on the basis of area and population, will be Germany's African possessions which before 1114 contained 9:50.000 square miles and more than i:;. 000, 000 inhabitants colonies more than four times as large as the entire German empire in Europe. Kaio Chan, now held by Japan, was the most important German colony in a commercial sense, though the area was only 200 square miles, but the African possessions of the Teutons offered them the greatest place in the sun. . It was Kail von der Decken, the German exp orer, writing from the Juba river in northeast Africa in 164. who f rst aroused Germany's wish for colonial expansion. He sussested that Mombasa be purchased from the sultan. Put it was only after ti e Franco-Prussian war that Germany really began to east about serioiifly for a foothold in the remote parts of the globe. Pismarck esteemed colonial enterprises very lightly but ry 1 S 4 popular opinion paused him to take the initiative. Py 1 ' he had been instrument! in founding the German colonies of Tocoland. Cs meroor.s, southwest Africa and German southeast Afrb a. besides Wilhelm'. Land, and the Solomon and Marshall islands and the Pismarck archipelago. Today Japan holds Kaio Chan and the Marshall islands. New Zealand and Australia hae Wilhelnx's Iand, the Solomons and the Pismarck islands, and France. Portugal and

i Kngland have announced that Ger

many s African possessions win tie divided amongst themselves. If the allies win Germany's loss may result in the realization of the dream of Cecil Rhodes of a Ca pe-to-Cairo railway and a sreat British-African empire.
