Those who are “agin” the drys crowd to have their noses counted, The National Liberal Alliance. takes a straw vote in New York. It gathers 96,698 ballots, of which 93,720 favor light wines-and beers. lot boxes, however, were located in cigar stores, restaurants, barber shops, etc. So the straw vote “doesn’t mean anything.” To give such: a straw vote weight, canvass housewives, particularly those whose husbands used to come home soused on pay-day night with most, of their pay left in the cash register of the corner saloon. BETTER Cost of running the national government in August was “only” $291,157,847. That’s for ac- tual government operation, not counting the financing of the public debt. It’s $30,660,722 less than in July. The saving will make taxpayers rejoice. Army and navy departments, however, in, Aug- ust spent $95,000,000, which is more than it nor- mally cost to run the whole machinery of national government before the war. The guns we pack, still are costing at the rate of $1,140,000,000'a year, More power..to that disarmament. confer- ence! !

QUICKLY FADING GLORIES - | War is a glorious thing. \We know it because; our history and romance tell us’ that it is. The! may being lant charges and its deeds of many valor, is a life of glory. History and romance tell us that, too. But there are things about. war and the sol- dier’s life which history and romance seldom tell! about. A Frenchman wxote a book telling the; was so deadly a thing that he pretty nearly got) branded as a traitor; for he told of the misery) ‘and filth and grime and horror that are realities of war. But there is another side of the false glories which many people today are in a position to testify to: This is that whatever glory there is quickly fades. The bands play, the men march away amid the cheers of the throng. They fight and do heroic deeds and win the war. They come back, and) again the bands play and the throng cheers. Then they are forgotten; and they are in luck if they can even get anybody to listen to their stories of bold deeds and heroic sacrifices. \ For instance, pe other day a man died in Belle- vue hospital * pee ge For many hours after his deathhié body lay unclaimed, not to speak of unhonored in the morgue attached to that hospital. ‘Then, by accident, some of the vet) erans of the World war heard of his death, and decided to give his body something better than a That man was John J. Munson. You don’t re- se. He was a member of the famous “Lost Battalion.” “His gallant deeds andj war won for him the Distinguished Service Cross, the Croix dé Guerre and the Medaille Militaire. His exploit in slipping through the German lines to make known at headquarters the perilous posi- tion of his company wads warmly praised by Gen- eral Petain of the French army aswell as by his own: commanders. For a time his name stood large in the press disvatches. Then the glory faded, and Munson sank into obscurity as a citi-| zen.

There was in them nothing | yous war hero might have been justified in ex- pecting. And there is nothing new about this story. It [always happens. though romance and histofy forget to tell us about \it. Martial glory is as brilliant and as soon over jas a passing meteor which illuminates the sky and then departs, leaving a deeper darkness. One ground for hope that something will come of the effort to end war is that never before, in all history, have there been so many veterans of a great war to realize that all that story and history |tell of the glories of war and of the soldiers’ life is a fraud, because it is quickly canceled by hu- | i REFORESTING } : Horse-sense is displayed by paper manufactur- | __| A. nor the league organizations have soldier’s life, with its martial music and its gal-| Gener heroic achievements in that thrilling episode of iF It has followed every war,|- RECALL C (By the Pot Boiler) The pressof the state is beginning to really get warmed up in the paign. Issuo3 of weekly papers, re- ceived today, carry many editorial expressions, but are lacking with news of local activities in the cam- paign. Apparently neither the 1.

In most cases nearly all of the business ‘men come out and are more favorable, to our cause than 1 have ever seen them.’ ” Sveinbjorn Johnson, Lemke's op- pencait, is "now campaigning in the western part of the state. Of his ap- pearance’ at Fort Yates the Sioux County Pioneer said: “Mr. Johnson made a decidedly fa- vorable impression here.

It is just a repiti- tion of former campaigns, only moe bitter and even less regard for the truth, if such a thing is possible.” The Zap Enterprise, Independent, declares enthusiasm has_ greeted Nestos and Johnson, and summarizes the opening of the campaign as fol- lows: “With Nestos and Johnson on the! stump and with Kitchen ready to join them in a few days the Independent campaign is in full swing. Both the ‘candidate for governor and the next atiyorney general have large crowds and ‘are ‘greeted with enthusiasm everywhere.
