WILLIAMSON Osage Township NOT READY FOR PEACE Efforts by certain societies in America to induce the President to volunteer his services as a mediator between the warring countries of Europe, are, to say || the least, i advised. True=Ger- many has given out tentative out- lines of the terms on which she might consider peace proposals, but the Allies have ignored all such feelers and intimate tlfat they have not yet begun to fight. From the beginning of the con- flict they have been fighting on the defensive, France, Belgium and Russia against an invaider, and until these three nations ex- press a willingness to consider terms, hopes of mediation are vain. Germany is in the position of the pugilist who having as- sumed the offensive and knocked down his opponent is ready to ‘call it square,’ but the Allies evidently have a perfectly ration- isfaction and their present atti- tude would indicate that it is their intention to stay in the game until they get that or something else. less effort to glorify the Crown Prince. to have a faint conception of the task to which she set herself in with her! e Austrian ally, cannot conquer all Europe and although she has fought them to a standstill she has been weakened in greater ratio than her opponents, and while her people have grown weary of the war, policy of frightfulness and brutal- ity has awakened in her opponents a spirit which will be appeased by no halfway peace measures.

WALKER-MCKIBBEN'S"s uu Childrens Union Suits 50c "Mens Union ' Suits $1 to $1.60 Judge Owen Visits McCune Home Political Pointers. Judge and Mrs, A. B. Owen, who spent several days last week visiting relatives and friends in and about Kanzas City, spent one day at the McCune Home near In- dependence, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Taylor. Mr. Taylor, who was formerly superintendent of the Butler Public Schools is the Superintendent ‘of the Home which is an institution of train- ing for truant boys. Judge Owen states that he was very much im- pressed with the importance of the work being done at the Mc- Cune Home where 199 boys are receiving training and instruction of the most valuable kind. The institution is constructed on the — plan, eight handsome cot- tages, each under the direct charge of a cottage superintend- ent and a matron, house the youngsters who receive each day one-half day of schooling and one- half day instruction in some trade. Judge Owen - bea Es geal is do- ing a great an work in making i It looks very much like the Mis- souri Republicans are going to have to. swallow Teddy, and it will be just about as pleasant as swal- lowing g thistle. . Missouri taxpayers will hesitate a long time before taking the ad- vice of the band of political bri- gands who have been looting St. Louis in the name of the epek- lican party. No sane man doubts for a single moment that if Roosevelt were President of the United States this country would today be embroiled in the world war. And yet there are people unpatriotic enough to urge his nomination and election. Sam Gompers, president of the American Federation © of Labor, ought to be an authority on the coun of ar erases of this country. ‘estifying before a congressional committee at Wash- * ington a few days ago, he stated that ‘‘the wages, hours of employ- ment and condition of Isbor have : ot ie eh eer be- yond any other any peo- ple in the history of the world.” Thi any would otherwise bee
