THE GARNETT REVIEW AND JOURNAL PLAINDEALER THE EVENING REVIEW nnn 1 I I IJ IfrS. r-1 I rirJ" nj hi II WE CAN furnish you a heating stove $2.50 to gas wood or coal stoves. Our prices will surprise you, as they (i as you had expected them to be. You had better prepare to have something besides a gas stove for thit cold snap in January. Prepare now are not as high i v- SHOULD BE A instead of waiting until the cold snap comes.

It may be too late then. CMD (D ANDERSON COUNTY'S LARGEST AND BEST STOVE STORE Topeka State Journal. In his Financial Review issued last -f week, and covering the money situation in its relation to the war, Henry Clews says: "Peace is in the air. Austria, under its new ruler, wants peace. Political developments 0 in Hungary this week show a corresponding feeling in that division of the dual kingdom.

too, it is reported in responsible quarters, is desirous of beginning peace negotiations. The German people earnestly desire peace. But the German military machine still stands out apparently, as determined as-ever, obviously hoping for some development "that trill permit it, as victor; to bring the war- to a close. This is a situation that cannot endure much Thus it behooves our country to bring forth," at'the'earllest possible" moment, every ounce of our fighting strength, not alone in men, but in all other forms of our great national wealth." The new war revenue bill, he de clares, will soon be on the statute books. Income taxation will be very heavy.

But neither this nor the excess profits tax will be as confiscatory as some of the more radical members of congress have cesired. We all must do our share in what will undoubtedly ahvays'stand out prominently among the greatest crises of the world. The staggering figures that are being granted in the form of appropriations, and the bond issues and the forms of taxation to provide for these appropriations, all are merely a measure of the determination of the administration to bring to bear- at once the very utmost of our fighting efficiency, in order that the conflict may be brought as promptly as possible to a victorious close. It is no time for half -measures. We have already surprised the enemy by sending to France a considerable army of clean-cut, intelligent men who are eager and able to fight for democracy.

We must continue sending well-equipped men, until we have an army that wall, by its strength, intelligence and determination, convince the enemy of the futility of continuing its losing struggle. Preparation and more preparation cannot fail in this way to prove the most effective means for conserving the lives of our young men. Financial sacrifices nust be patriotically borne. The war must be won, and all must do their bit. (o) The soldier boys were given a farewell dance at Iola last Saturday evening.

They weer not given a prayer meeting. Kincaid Dispatch. (o) It seems that the Russians have gotten their "second wind" and are driving the Germans back. At least, that's the report. -o No Tonsilitis in Navy.

Washington, D. Sept. 27. That little or no tonsilitis has developed among the thousands of U. S.

Marines now in training at a Southern camp is due, medical authorities say, to the caution of examining physicians at recruiting stations. An applicant with enlarged tonsils will not be accepted in the Marine Corps, as it has been pointed out that tonsilitis is more -than a "mere ailment," in a military camp, will spread rapidly. Medical research workers have discovered that tonsilitis is the "base" of numerous diseases, among which ar.e inflammation of the joints and heart, the latter often proving fatal. Government Wants Mechanics. The United States government wishes to employ many kinds of mechanics, a list of which may be seen posted at the postoffice.

H. L. McNARY, Clerk. Croan Not a Slacker. Kincaid Dispatch.

It was rumored some time ago that Orin Croan, of this place, was a slacker, because he did not register at the recent registration. In fact, he was arrested some time ago by a deputy United Stales marshal and taken before a commissioner at Fort Scott; but it did not take the commissioner fifteen minutes to decide that Croan was no slacker. The facts in the case are these: 1 Early last year, before our war with Germany began, Orin joined the Missouri militia at Nevada, and was a member when the militia became the National Guard. He was in camp at Nevada about two months, and his regiment was ordered to the Mexican border for service, but before it could get under way, the border trouble was settled and his regiment was mustered back into the National Guard, and Orin returned home, and in June of this year, he received an discharge from his company, with no reasons assigned, but he thinks it was because the company wanted all Sedalia boys in it, it being composed nearly altogether of Sedalia boys frpm the start. Consequently, at the time of registration, he wTas a mem ber of the National Guard.

O. CHAMPE, Editor C. T. RICHARDSON. Manager "THE NEXT WAR.

Theodore Roosevelt and General Wood spoke in Kansas City within the past week, and the burden of their song was, "Preparedness Get ready for our next war." Both of these men are of blood-thirsty natures, and they seem to think and dream of nothing but "Kill! Kill!" When the United States enteredf into the present warf we were told that it was for the.purposeof enforcing world peace-T-that it is a war-for disarmament of the nations." This was, and is, the purpose of President Wilson and of other men in high authority. It was the argument advanced to induce the young men of this country to volunteer as soldiers." It was the argument advanced by the advocates of conscription. A number of papers and persons of the "Roosevelt and Wood stripe will keep up the agitation for "preparedness" and a large, permanent standing army, but we do" not believe, for one moment, that they will be able to convince anything like a majority Of the people of this country that we need a large standing army. The people of the United States are patriotic, and they will fight the last ditch," in defense of the country, but they will never consent to preparations for another war unless we are defeated in this war, which nobody expects. President Wilson has expressed himself, time and again, as being in this war fdr the purpose of worldwide peace and disarmament, and the people have faith in him they believe he means it.

They are opposed to the nefarious doctrines of the Roosevelts and the Woods. Ihey want no "next war." (o) SLAP AT NEWSPAPERS. The senate and Postmaster-General Burleson seem to have it in for the newspapers, especially the smaller ones. Senators Thompson and Curtis appear to be among the- enemies of the papers, for they are among those who voted against them. A Washington dispatch of the 25th contains the following: "What some senators construe as a law by which- Postmaster-General Burleson may put newspapers out ot business at his will was passed by the senate late Monday afternoon.

The vote Vvas 48 to 6. Cummins, of Iowa; France, of Maryland; Johnson, of California; Kirby, of Arkansas; Nor-ris, of Nebraska, and Watson, of Indiana, voted in the negative. "The law is a section of the trad-ing-with-the-enemy bill. It provides that any publication which is declared non-mailable under the espionage act can be barred from any other mode of transportation or circulation. The section was slipped into the bill in conference, though it had not been discussed previously by either house.

"This section was framed in an attempt to strike at the pro-German press, but senators today declared it went much further. Norris said it was a 'desperate attempt' to put the newspapers out of business. Cummins said it was "The section has yet to be passed by the house." (P) BREAKS WITH GERMANY. The Argentina chamber of deputies (which is the same as our lower house of congress) has voted, fifty-three to eighteen, to support a break with Germany. The senate had previously voted in favor of such a step by a vote of twenty-three to one.

This practically concludes a declaration of war against Germany. Argentina has, at present, an army of 200.000 ready to take the" field. One by one, the nations of the world are joining forces against Germany of kaiserism and Kaiser William and his army had better quit while the quittin's good. Germany had secured a strong foothold in Argentina, and has many large factories, mercantile establishments and banking housees, and these, without doubt, will be taken over by the Argentine government. (o) OFFICERS FARE BETTER.

Josiah M. Ward, a war correspondent, in a letter in last Sunday's Kansas City Post, gives the menu served to the American soldiers on board ship on their way to France. The "chow" (food) is good, all right, and, maybe, better than some of boys were used to having at home, but Mr. Wrd tells the Post that "the officers' 'bills are much more extensive and the food is the best procurable." Wouldn't it have been better if Ward had left that part out of his (o) It is reported that 15,000 members the trades unions -employed in Seattle ship-yards and allied con-tractm shops will strike next Saturday over a wage controversy.
