The Red Cross by its humane ministrations robs war of much of it's horror. Do we want war robbed of its horror? Will not war cease sooner if it's horrors be permitted to appeal to us with full force. It's a dreadful suggestion, isn't it? But our subject, war, is a dreadful subject.

But, seriously, if we want peace, lasting peace for the whole world, shall we not get it sooner, if the burden of war be allowed to bear with full weight on those concerned? Doubtless the kaiser approves of the Cross. His wounded are cared for and restored to the ranks. The allies, too, are benefitted in the same way. The activities- of the Red Cross are equivalent to reinforcements. We don't like to say a word to throw doubt on the humanitarian work of the Red Cross, but we do question if Red Cross activities are street ADVERTISING RATER 2 cents per line on pages 2, 3 and 4, 3 cents per line on 1st page.

Just why the voters of Douglas countv elected Herman Broeker to the office of County Clerk to succeed one who had been elected by opposing interests the Herald is unable to say positively, but it has a strong suspicion that they wanted a man for the position who had had business training and would take personal charge of the work of the office and make himself familiar with all of its details. The eh an gin order had reached the point when men were to be chosen because of fitness and not to bestow political rewards.

The suspicions of the Herald find support in the record for efficiency which Mr. Broeker has made in the Clerk's office. If he- was not elected because of a promise of efficiency, then the large majority for a candidate of a ninority party needs explanation. Mr. Broeker has proved a very satisfying novelty as County Clerk in that he has mastered the details of his office and is Clerk de facto as well as de jure.

Mr. Broeker has been very generous with his time in public service. At times when congestion comes in the Clerk's office and extra help might be reasonably asked, Mr. Broeker has worked over-time. From 7:30 a.

Whenever an attempt is made to rrdarge the political powers of the people the benefifiaries of special privilege try by every means to block the game. If a bill is introduced in a legislative body to to give the people more power over legislation or power to limit the tenure of office holding, the privileged classes manage in some way to so modify the bill that when it becomes law, it will have lost much of its force. It is said that a "joker" has been added which makes the legislation a joke, indeed. The bill passed by our last legislature providing that a recall amendment to the state constitution be submitted to Kansas voters is a case in point. A joker was introduced which requires that no one shall be permitted to sign a petition for an election to recall a public official, who did not vote for him.

The effect of such a requirement can be readily seen. The friends of an official would be reluctant to ask for his recall. It would be very difficult, if possible, to recall any one. The recall amendment, if adopted, would repeal all recall legislation now in force and we would find that we have no recall law none that can be worked in public interest. We now have a limited recall a recall of limited application which is good as far as it goes.

We do not want to lose what we have without his army of dollars and basks.

The writer has been told by an official of Douglas county that, if he could be assured of continuance in oifice without the expense of campaigns, he could as well afford to nerve the public at two-thirds of his present salary as to serve under present political conditions at the salary received. Of course this is all wrong.

The policy of well regulated private ccrporations in respect to the tenure of employment of its servants should be adopted by public corporations.
