" Editor News:
.' Thinking perhaps a few lines
. v. . . from this part of the world would
', l be interesting, I will endeavor to
' ?.." write. Well, oats are looking
, fine and most every farmer is
ready to plant corn. We have had
a nice spring, Not much rain.
, - We are farming two hundred
acres. We will have sixty acres
in oats and one hundred and five,
acres in corn. You can have all
the time you want-to do wokr in
from 14 to 16 hours a day. Corn
is sixty-five cents per bushel,
oats 40 cents, and thai is pretty
good. I came out the 14th .of.
r
March and went to'-workthe
20th, at $30.00 per month, and
. if corn is good will make , 3,000
bushels. I put up 2,900 bushels
in 29 days last fall. If President
. Wilson will keep us boys out of
Mexico. President Wilson's won
derful opportunity with the ac
r ceptance of Germany's reply to
his note on the submarine ques
tion, honorable and effective
1 . .
mediation between the warring
. powers, opens before Mr. Wilson.
We are bound to believe that
trie r resident is as anxious as
, any other sensible and human
. American to see the dreadful
,, devastation and slaughter in
( Europe speedily ended. -We can
x ' -.see no other method of speedily
"lending this dreadful slaughter
and devastation except by the
meditatory officer . of the Gov
eminent of the United States.
We believe that Germany i3
willing to negotiate upon the
terms of returning to the Status
of July, 1915. If the frequent
, , declaration of cabinets and
chancellors mean anything,
neither France, England, Ger
many, Austria nor iurKey are
fighting to obtain spoils or con
quest. England and France de
clare they are fighting to drive
' the Germans out of France and
r. Belgium. Germany and Aus-
i ., . tna and Turkey declare that
-: 'V they are fighting to prevent m
vasion and to keep their terri
; tories intact. A return to the
V pi
Status of 1914 would thus fulfill
the open and frequent negotition
of peace of these Great Powers or
to its object in keeping on with
the war.
Setting aside the brags of both
sides, meant only for the con
sumption of the ill-informed and
feeble thinking at home and
abroad, we may confidently as
sume that both sides have dis
covered the practical impossibil
ity of either achieving a deci
sive victory without the victor
being as hopelessly bankrupt
and as irreparably weakened as
the vanquished. They know
this a? well in Berlin as in Lon
don, as well in Vienna as in
Paris and as well in Rome as in
Constantinople. The only pos
sible jesult of prolonging the war
to a decision in Europe would be
to establish, combine Russia and
Japan as the irresistible dicta
tors of Europe and Asia and that
is a prospect fully as repellant
to Batata's present allies as to
-Iwr present enemies. Perhaps
rati more repellent This be
ing the open aspect of the mili-
itary situation, it is not hard to
find many little significant bub
bles on the surface of events to
show the probable submarine
operations of diplomacy. We
think that this economic con
gress of the Allies at Paris a few
days ago,was in reality an ex
change of views as to irreduci
able terms of peace acceptable
to those powers. We think the
secret conclave at Vienna was
the Qerman, attended by Aus
trian, Bulgarians and Turkish
representatives for the same.pur
pose. We think that the decla
ration of Germany's willingness
.to discuss peape. terms made in
the reply to President Wilson's
note was meant as a veiled 'invi
tation to the President to extend
mediatory office. We think that
the message from the Pope to
President Wilson was another
invitation of the same tenor.
We know that the . Scandinavian
kingdoms, Holland,. Switzerland
and Spain, together with Brazil
and Argentina are all anxious to
join the United States in neutral
representation to the warring
powers and we most certainly
know that the whole body of the
American people are most ar
dently willing and desirous that
our Government at least, make
an honest and honorable attempt
to end this horrid war" before it
has completely sapped, and de?
stroyed the strength of, the. na
tions across the Atlantic. . We"
have not been at all. dispqsed to.
see Mr. Wilson re-elected yet
cause which we now suggest to
Mr. Wilson would be, if he car
ried it through, almost make his
election sure.
We do not care the snap of a
finger for any possible candidate
of party politics or of party or
personal feelings in the race of
their honorable cateclysm which
is engulping our race. God for
bid that any such consideation
should weigh even so much as
one poor grain of dust in the
balance in which hangs the lives
and deaths of millions of our fel
Iowmen and the happiness and
the anguish of millions of our
sister women.
We speak from our heart's sin
cere emotions when we most ear
nestly urge the President to make
essay of the Nation's powerful
influence to bring truce rnd peace
to destressed and agonized Eu
rope. It i3, we do most sincere
ly believe, a noble and wonder
ful opportunity to serve God and
mankind, and to secure for our
own country the gratitude and
the respect of the Nations of the
earth and long years of security
and peace and happiness through
out the world. May we not all
pray that the Almighty Provi
dence will guide the President
and the Nations in their supreme
ly decisive hour to be the Mes
sengers of Peace on Earth and
Good Will to Mankind,
We had but just completed
this article when the news of
another Mexican raid, about
which you have already, read,
came over the wires. It seems
to me that this raid with the
usual 'accompaniments of arsons,
robbry and assassinations is an
LOST 5 YEARS
FROM HIS LIFE
Remarkable Story Is Told by
Ohio Man Who Has Been
Restored by Tanlac.
"I have been able to work only
about six months each year for the
past ten years.
"But I haven't lost a day's work
since I began to take Tanlac."
This is the statement of David :R
Uase,.of Mt. Healthy, Ohio, near Cin
cinnati. '.
Tiiese two short sentences contain
as high a tribute as can be paid to a
medicine.. ..Tanlac is literally putting
money into David E. Case's pocket
every day. He can count its value to
him in dollars and cents.
"Six months a year for ten years."
To.the average man, this means thou
sands of dollars It may mean the
difference between want and plenty,
lb means Ave years out of a man's
life.
Mr. Case's story will strike home
to, thousands.
"I suffered from a stomach trouble
so serious that I could not work more
than six months out of a year for the
past, ten years," he said. "There
would be dull, constant pains in ray
stomach and shooting pains -in my
breast, back and arms.
"Everything! ate seemed to. dis
agree with me. I discontinued drink
ing coffee' for a year, but that made
no difference in my condition. 1 sim
plo could not get anything that bene
fitted me.
"I saw. the remarkable praise Tan
lac was winning,, and more in desper
ation tlian anything else, I decided to
t try it I believe that I would be
shirking a real duty if ,1 failed to tell
my story, remarkable as it may" seem.
"I have now used two" Bottles of
Tanlac. My appetite has returned,
and I sleep well The pains are rare
now, and, best of all,-1 can -work all
the time. I feel stronger than I have
in years.
"Taulac has done worlds forme.
It has doubled my income.
It is human nature for Mr. Case to
believe that he is the exception and
not the rule but his story really is
not a great deal different from the
statements of many thousands.
There is no remedy that acts as
favorably on ailments of the stomach,
liver and kidneys and on catarrhal
affections "as does Tanlac, which is
now being introduced in Columbia: at
the Page & Hamilton drug store.

additional reason why European
peace should be hastened if Mr.
Wilson can do so. We must stop
these Mexican outrages. We
must end. their anarchy and ruin
in. Mexico that is not a proposi
tion of war upon any neighbor
ing governments. That is sim
ply a police job in country which
has no government and in- which
every libel element is running
amuck.
But it is a long and tedeous
and big police job and well will
it be if we, have no other danger
and risk to face while we are
ridding Mexico of Brigandage
and making that unhappy coun
try safe for Mexicans and Ameri
cans alike.
Yours Sincerely,
Henry L. Conover.
