THE MONROE CITY 'CHAUTAUQUA,-
August 26 to-31. J. D. ROBEY, Secretary
The Kansas wheat harvest, with
a yield now estimated at more than
106 million bushels, is over and de
spite the apparent shortage of labor
which threatened the farmers it
was not necessary to call out the
vast army of reserves who had
been solicited to sign up for harvest
work That a great many of these
reserves, however, went into the
harvest fields is conceded, but they
went along with the rest of the har
vest army, looking for the jobs
rather than having the jobs search
for the men. The success with
which the great undertaking of
gathering 100 million bu-hels of
wheat within mx or seven weeks, i
acendited to the extensive operation
of the federal employment service,
which reached out to every nook
nJ corner of the state where there
was need of harvest workers.'
We know now why these Post
masters have been resigning. They
wanted to dodge the zone system.

This is not the lime to play poli
tics The momentous question is to
end the war with as little blood cost
as possible. President Wilson's
every act has proven the wisdom of
the American people in selecting
him to be President. He is today
not only President of the United
States, but is the World' Greatest
citizen. inesDiendia men id con

President Wilson should ail be re
elected in order to help him in the
great work whichs lies" out before
him. The present member of Con
gress from the Second Missouri
District, Judge Rucker, is one of the.
ablest men in Congress. He is
needed in that body for the good of
all the people. This is no time to
change to gratify the personal am
bit ion of anyone and the people of
this District are going to express
their opinion next Tuesday. The
sentiment of the entire country is
supporting the Congressmen who
have been loyal to President Wilson.

'Gen. Crowder's testimony before

Affairs emphasizes the fact that in

proximately 4.C0O.C0O men by Jan
uary 1, as is now contemplated, it
will be necessary to call practically
every able-bodied man in classes 1

It is not expected or desired that
it e entire military burden of the
war should be borne by men be
tween 21 and 31 years of age. To
invade classes 2. 3 end 4, except to
reclassify those who have no busi
ness there, would, as Gen. Crowder
says, "create very stressful situ
ations in the field of domestic eco
nomics." To speak more plainly, it
would throw hundreds of thousands
of families of these men upon the
public for support.
While there are husky bachelors,
and men without dependents, be
tween the ages of 31 and 45, it
should not be necessary to call the
younger heads of families. In order
to reach these men it will be
necessary for Congress to amend
the draft law. As the need for
men as well as the facilities forget
ting them over are increasing
much faster than anyone dreamed
a few months ago, it would seem
the part of wisdom to pass the rc
quired legislation quickly, so the
men can be classified and examined
Congress is, of course, waiting upon)
the War Department, but from
statements made by Secretary Baker
and Gen. Crowder, we know the
time cannot be long deferred when
the older men must take up the
butden so far borne only by thosel
between 21 and 31
Mr. Boyd has in the past been
ambitious to serve the people on
many occasious. In every case,
herfctofore, the Democrat has been
for him. because in our opinion he
was better fitted for the place to
which aspired than was his oppo
nents. In the present instance the
Democrat is for Judge Rucker be
cause it believes that his ability, ex
perience, honesty, knowledge of the
duties, just what to do, and his
willingness to do hard for the good
of his constituents in particular and
the United States and the world in
general, make him the man best
qualified for the place.
