MODERN ELECTIONEERING.
Phonographs will be used by both
the Republican and the Democratic
parties in the approaching presi
dential campaign, it is announced,
the plan embracing a program which
will permit the residents of small
towns and remote hamlets to hear
the speeches of eminent orators at
the same time that the records are
released in the large cities.
The phonographic campaign was
scheduled to open this week, when
records containing utterances by
Attorney General Palmer, speaking
for the Democrats, and others reg
istering the speech of United States
Senator Lodge, voicing the senti
ments of the Republicans, will be
released. These speeches will be
reproduced at clubs, societies’ head
quarters, churches, noonday meet
ings and in the homes of the party
workers.
Following the release of the
speeches of Attorney General Palm
er and Senator Lodge, other rec
ords will be distributed monthly,
and it is expected that the meeting
places and home throughout the
country will fairly echo and re
echo with the words of the orators
as conveyed by means of talking
machines. The extent of the part
which phonographs may play in the
campaign can be estimated by the
statement that two manufacturers
of the machines are known to have
more than 2,000,000 phonographs in
use in the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
phonographic oratory by the Demo
cratic National committee are Presi
dent Wilson, Secretary of War Bak
er, Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
former Secretary of the Treasury
* McAdoo, and William J. Bryan.
Former President Taft, Major
General Wood, Elihu Root, Chaun
cey M. Depew and United States
Senators Johnson and Borah are
on the list of speakers chosen for
talking-machine oratry by the Re
publican National committee.
THE CITY OF ORPHANS.
"The true horror of the famine
in Syria,” says a man returned
after six years of relief work, “has
been the moral breakdown. The
horror of having thousands of neg
lected children growing up without
homes or education, the victims of a
demoralized environment, is awful
to contemplate. In the small area
of Syria for which I compiled sta
tistics, there are 349 villages, with
4,364 orphans and 9,688 children
with only one parent.”
A group of Americans in charge
of local relief under the Red Cross
and the Near East committee have
worked out a plan for rescuing these
children, points out the Tacoma
News Tribune. It is not a matter
of getting . them food alone, al
though that is the first great need.
They must also be trained and edu
cated, prepared to assume the re
sponsibilities which will be theirs in
a few years. They are the nucleus
of the new nation growing ui
through the ruins of the old. They
will be the farmers, mechanics, ar
tisans, laborers, teachers, etc., ol
the future.
In order to do this tremendous
I
'work of training, a city of orphans
j is being founded. The committee
j plans to bring these children to
gether in several big groups to fa
[ cilitate instruction. They will be
j divided into small families, housed
! in good buildings erected for the
j purpose. As far as possible they
j will be trained as Syrians. The
American influence is to be used
!
only to develop efficiency and high
ideals, not to breed dissatisfaction
with their own country or lack of
true patriotism.
Dedicated to the building up and
renewal of courage, health, self-re
spect and ability for self-govern
ment. the City of Orphans has be
I fore it a future of hope and oppor
! tunity.

ROAD TO NORMAL PRICES.
War and economics do not har
monize. War results in economic
waste. War is economic waste. It
shoots wealth into the air. It burns
up wealth or smashes it. Not only
is wealth wasted, but the produc
tion of wealth for normal purposes
is diverted and slackened. So in
the gTeat war lately ended, the
greatest war in the world’s history',
it must be clear that the economic
waste was enormous, so great as to
be almost incomprehensible.
Herein, says the Yakima Republic,
lies the fundamental cause of the
present high cost of living. For
more than four years the world en
gaged in destroying created values.
In order to produce sufficiently for
that purpose it neglected to pro
duce in sufficient quantities the com
modities required for normal eco
nomic life. Hence in this period
succeeding war there is general
scarcity of such commodities. This
scarcity must be replaced by a sur
plus f food and wearing apparel
and other daily necessities befoie
prices can be expected to return to
normal levels. This is merely an
i
other way of demonstrating the j
I ;
eternal applicability ,of the econom
;c law of supply and demand.
The lesson of the situation is pro
duction at capacity rates. Until
the producing nations of Europe
have recovered somewhat from the
effects of the war, the United States
will be depended upon to make up
largely the deficiency in the sup
plies of created wealth. The United
States must greatly produce agri
culturally, industrially and in every
other way. Strikes and lockouts,
by slowing up production, merely
retard and hinder the solution of
the very human problem of attain
ing comfort. Wealth must be pro
duced in the mass and^hdividual
production must be stinn|£ed and
increased. The speed with which
the world returns to normal eco
nomic conditions will depend very
largely on unit production; that is,
the quantity of wealth produced
daily by the average worker.
If the nation will produce for
beneficent peace as earnestly as :t
1 produced for wasteful war, prices
I will return to normal within a rela
II tively brief period.

j WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
t IN GERMANY.—The Germans have
organized two flotillas of torpedo
boats since the armistice, and these
j constitute virtually all the warships
left in active service in the German
] navy, according to information re
I eeived here.
One of these flotillas is described
iin “Mittschiffs," a German naval
I periodical which has reached the
; American headquarters, as the Iron
j Torpedo Boat Flotilla. It consists
! of twelve torpedo boats which, the
periodical savs, have been engaged
j in maintaining order on the West
iern coast of Germany.
I Some of the vessels of the flotilla
have been used on several occasion?
for police work in the part of Ham
burg, doing duty guarding Allied
food shipments to the Czecho-Slo
ivaks and similar work during peri
ods of disorder. The flotilla has
jits headquarters at Wilhelmshaven.
| A landing corps of about 360 men
I is distributed among the twelve
i boats, each of which has 6 platoon
| of 30, commanded by a naval lieu
i tenant. The clothing and arms of
Ithe members of this landing corps
; are the same as in the infantry.
I The other group of vessels, called
j the Haff flotilla, is supposed to be
doing similar work on the Baltic
coast, near the Russian boundary,
with headquarters in Koenigsberg.
'The boats are armed with machine
Iguns, and in some cases with 3.7
; centimeter guns as well. The flo
tilla was organized for operation
in connection with the East Prus
! sion Freiwillige corps and was until
a few wreeks ago subject to the com
Imander of the Northern army.

FREAK NAMES BANNED
BY SHIPPING BOARD
LOS ANGELES.—No more ‘‘West
! Cajoots” or “W est Katkans” or
ships with other freak names will
i slide down the ways of Southern
| California shipyards, according to
advices received here recently from
the Shipping board at Washington.
The names which have been ap
i plied to vessels launched in this
; section have been the cause of con
siderable humorous comment and
not a little derision. The shipyards
protested, with the result that the
Shipping board will name vessels
with “pure American" names.
NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT
IN NENANA
There has never been anything in
Nenana with the INSTANT action j
of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine,
etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE
SPOONFUL flushes the ENTIRE
bowel tract so completely it relieves
ANY CASE sour stomach, gas or con-:
stipation and prevents appendicitis.
The INSTANT, pleasant action of
Adler-i-ka surprises both doctors and
patients. A. D. Thompson, druggist.
