While influenza and pneumonia, cases pile up daily, not more than ten per cent of the druggists have applied for licenses to sell whiskey for medicinal purposes. Even prohibitionists, now stricken with the ‘flu,’ are beginning to see that there are two sides to the question.” —Commerce and Finance. More gloom. It’s poor picking these days wher: the fellows who write can’t find something to sob about. Now the sick are dying because they can’t get whiskey. But listen to Dr. Copeland and Dr. Robertson health officers, respectively, of New York an Chicago; “Do not feed the people whiskey for pneumoni: and influenza.. Whiskey is not a remedy for pneu monia. It can neither prevent nor cure. Every one who has studied the subject has arrived a: the same conclusion.” Dr. William Osler, the noted Johns Hopkin: physician who died recently a baronet in England declared in his book on pneumonia that whiske} is not only of no use as a remedy or a preventive but that it is positively bad for the patient. Surgeon Gegera] Blue of the U. S. public health service warns against the use of whiskey i in “flu’ and pneumonia. That should pretty nearly settle it. your grief, boys. Cut out SEVEN GOVERNORS A few governors are holding back ratificatior of the woman suffrage amendment. They don’t want to call their legislatures together in the name of votes for women. Governor Clement of Vermont hesitates because he doesn’t believe in women voting. What dif- ference} Joes it make what he believes? He is < lone nan. His legislature is pledged to ratifica- - tion. Why should one man stand in the way of a ‘ ‘ 10,000,000 women voting in November? What right has Governor. Hart, Wyoming, tc block the women in their iight to .vote? The women of his state vote.

Where does’ Governor Vobsitech,!! Okeaioti get on? The women of his state vote. He should fealize by his refusal to assemble his legislature he is keeping millions of women from the polls. The-legislatures and governors of New Jersey, ‘_ New Mexico, West Virginia and Delaware should ‘know that the country will soon engage in the se- rious business of selecting a president. Why should the women have to campaign another week for votes? The battle is all but won, and they will get the vote before the year ends, in spite of all , the obstinate obstacles these men can put in their way. It is time to end the/fight for woman suffrage. The governors and legislatures in these seven states can do it if they will just see their duty. CHINESE SCHOOLS An ambitious educational enterprise has just “been launched from Oberlin, Ohio, which will a doubtless engage the attention of educators as ete VVEFPEREETT PERS RRTSSESTL EY H i= C=) much by its audacity as by its simplicity. It is the organization of the American-Chinese Educational Commission forthe purpose of promoting popular education in China. The genius of the movement is in the fact that the Chinese are to own, equip and control the schools, on condition that the commission furnish organizers and teachers. “The promoting of self-reliance, initiative and responsible leadership among the Chinese is the very genius. of the education that will bless China,” declares the recently issued prospectus of the commission. The scholos are to be strictly non-ecclesiastical, founded upon the broadest educational principles. The leadership alone is to be supplied from America, until such popular schools are widely established and, begin to furnish trained Chinese Such teaching is sure to appeal to American young men and women who seek positions of SEATTLE LABORERS |* power and leadership in guiding the awakening life of the great republic, by carrying to them the ideals of western civilization. The enterprise is beginning modestly, under ex- pert direction, with a model ‘school in Canton. It. is expected, however, that the schools will mul- tiply as the demand arises in other districts. The plan and the principle will almost certainly) chal- lenge the co-operation of men and women of vision and means, and may well become a great leaven- ing power in the secular education of China. Oberlin has been the birthplace of some big movements, but this audacious undertaking to guide the secular education of that huge nation is pregnant with possibilities that appeal imagination. If a substantial foundation can be laid and schools can be widely planted with the responsible co-operation of the Chinese, it may easily become the most significant agency for‘ co- operating with the Chinese, in contrast with the ohilanthropic agencies which have hitherto aimed to do something for the Chinese. SUCH EYES! “It was not the frayed and patched little gar- ments that sagged from their emaciated frames hat made my heart ache,” Zoe Beckley, special uropean correspondent, cabled to this newspaper. She was writing of the starved children of cen- _Yal Europe, the little human beings doomed to leath by starvation unless the good people of this vell-fed and prosperous country give liberally of heir nickels, dimes and dollars. “Nor was it the broken boots that let in so much old, nor the blueness of their hands,” Miss Beck- ey continued. “It was the look in their faces, the; kin stretched tight over their cheek bones, the errible brightness of their eyes. “T shall never forget their eyes. oth of terror and of avid eagerness. hould have such eyes!” Please read that again—NO KIDDIE SHOULD IAVE SUCH EYES! Picture in your heart, and soul, and mind, the xyes of a poor, little child; starving to death for vant of a crust of bread. And multiply that pic- ure by five million, and_you,have the real story of the awful famine in central Europe, the terrible vant for food in lands where tiny human beings sre falling like wilted flowers, sacrifices to the lemon, hunger. And now, dear reader, having that picture and hat story: engraved in your heart, how does this ‘ook to you: Five cents contributed by you to the American relief administration will feed one of those chil- dren one day. One dollar will keep body and soul together twenty days. If enough Americans give of their dollars, or dimes, or nickels, the kiddies of zentral Europe will not have “such eyes.” The longer America hesitates, the longer Amer- ‘cans withhold their nickels, dimes and dollars, the more of those childish eyeg will close in death— leath by starvation. The dollar contributed opens those eyes to health, happiness and life; the dollar withheld closes: them forever. Which shall ‘it be! It was a look | No kiddie aged. Oh; cheer? up.

The assertion that 80 per cent of the Russian people favor the soviet government probably means that 20 per cent are out of gun range. ee ee re renee WITH THE EDITORS | at The meeting of the republicans of the state at Sismarck on the 28th of last month was a very harmonious one and the simon pure republicans should and will stand behind the delegates selected for the national convention. It had been rumored before the convention con- vened that it, was a frame-up with Townley and that a trade was to be made with him on the state and national republican ticket in this state. This rumor was without any foundation and the report of the meeting plainly shows that it was a simon pure republican convention, not affiliated with any of the isms now ranting in North Dakota. It was an honest-to-goodness meeting of the republican party and’in fact this meeting opposes the radi- calism of Townleyism and all the propaganda that goes with it. Every 100 per cent republican in Grant county will no doubt be pleased to know that the state has had a convention composed of 100 per cent republicans and delegates were chosen from their midst who will represent their party at the na- tional convention in the good old republican way. We feel that these delegates chosen will safely. represent the republican party in seeing to it that a man be chosen as President of the United States |who will fill the chair with credit to the republi- can party aud American people as a hh a Carson Press. = hospital, | She» returned Satna ported as doing nicely and expects to HAVE CITY NEWS night for her home, Miss Larson be-] report for work again in a short time OWN COLLEGE > = a > ing well along toward ‘Ye US Gee aa re BRE IW.

They have turned their entire skill, ability and unequaled facilities to the production of motor trucks—the best they could design and construct. No name stands higher in the annals of automobile accomplish- ments. Diamond T motor trucks have always been more than good. They have been the VERY. BEST that could be'built. In no‘ truck is value dependent upon first price. Value’ lies, not: in initial outlay, but in the service; of the truck—its eco- nomy; its length of life,.its efficiency. The Farm Special, for instance, could not be.considered a good investment if the first price were'the only source of satisfaction to its owners. JHERE are” honors. in every busi- ness — trade names that have come to typify for certain commodities what the word “Sterl- ing” conveys on silver. They mean the highest quality, the greatest sat- isfaction, the most de- pendable service that can be wrought or fashioned. Even if the low price of our trucks were incresaed several hun- edred dollars, we would still say that it represented unusual value for the money. In all confidence we assert that its final cost—its upkeep, operation, depreciation—is less than any truck selling at a lower figure. Of course, our low price, or eyen a lower price, could have been attained by sacrificing quality. Had we done that, however, we would have abandoned the policies that have marked the Diamond T organization since its first car was turned out That is exactly what the in 1905. diamond-enclosed letter “T” means when it is found on a motor truck.
