For forty years the German gov ernment has been making preparation for this onslaught on civilization and f during practically all of this time the i party represented by Colonel Roose velt has been in absolute control of the American government. But in stead of preparing the country for de fense against the encroachment of for eign foes it was not even in a state of preparedness to justify an invasion of Mexico when President Wilson enter ed the White House a little less than five years ago. But the egotistic and vascillating Roosevelt, after commend ing the statement of 'President Wil son's war aims, a few weeks ago, now seeks to discredit the administration by groundless charges of official neg lect in providing equipment.

The Canton Observer adds: "This statement is made each year according to the laws of the stateVand contains much valuable information; yet the report is anything but com plete, in that it does not show receipts and disbursements nor the present financial condition of the county. This information can be had by examining the records in the register of deeds' office,but since annual statements have to be published and as the citizens and taxpayers are entitled to gull in formation of the county's affairs, why not make the report in full and let the public know just hbw the county stands financially? If the county is in debt let it be known, or if out of debt, so riluch the better, but in either case let the facts be known," The Observer is right, the 'dear peepul" are entitled to the full facts. states-a-. reality:. , V ' ' , Inthe form passed'by the Senate the resolution provided" for ratifica tion- within six years- and" gave1 no pe- 4 riod of grace fOr its taking effect. It would have become law immediately upon proclamtion by- the Secretary of State that thirty-six of the forty eight states had" ratified'' it. As amended in ther house the time within which the resolution calls for ratifica tion is placed -at seven instead of six years, and one. years grace alter rat ification, is allowed the liquor inter ests before the measure becomes op erative: The Senate- concurred fa the House amendment by a practically unanimous vote and" the matter now jrests with the states for approval or kejectiOn. - Thirty-six states will have to , ratify jthe amendment before it can become k part of our organic law. Twenty seven of the forty-eight states are al ready- in the dry column and" the tem perance advocates . are reiymg upon bach of these to take favorabre action upon the resolution as soon as their respective legislatures convene.

Iowa, Kan sas, Mississippi, Michigan. Montana. Maine, NOrth Dakota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mer'co, New Hamp shire, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Da kota, Arkansas,' South Carolina. Tenn., Utah, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. Large areas ifr many of the remaining states are dry. Alaska and Porto Rico have voted tcr banish the '.raffic, the District of Columbia is dry. since the first of November, and with the tremendous majority g"vpn the na tional prohibition resoiution by both houses of Congress the temperance forces will go into the nation-wide campaign for- ratfffcation with zeal and energy and twenty-seven states as a starter. The prospects for ratification by many near-dry states like Ohio, Mis souri, Texas and1 Wyoming is ex tremely encouraging- to the dry cause, but h advocates of the a-ondment fully realize that a tremendous strug gle is ahead of them to secure the ne cessary thirty-sfx. The great victory in Congress has, of course, inspired zeal and courage, for the victory Is considered half won. The resolution won in the House by a majority of 154, receiving twentv-seven more' vot. than the necessary two-thirds requir ed under the constitution..
