A mosaic of scripture from Isaiah 55 urging all to buy wine and milk without money, seek the Lord for life and mercy, and listen so souls may live. The passage contrasts God’s thoughts with human ways and calls for turning from wickedness to divine mercy.
The passage notes an observed absence of an American accent in President Wilson's remarks and questions whether this was a deliberate courtesy or a chosen style, leaving readers unsure of the motive and context.
Poetic meditation on who will chronicle and name Theodore Roosevelt. The verses claim he served no master but himself and God, insisting his victory and glory belong to a divine conqueror rather than any political power or party.
Observers note varied accents among British leaders including Lloyd George Haig and Balfour, with Englishness rare among cabinet members. The piece suggests Americans tolerate such quirks amid improving Anglo American relations and a shift toward cordial entente.
An article argues against guaranteeing producers $2.262 per bushel for next year, suggesting the US may face a theoretical loss up to 360 to 560 million dollars if buying and reselling the entire US crop at market value, but farmers’ practice limits actual loss. Government agents estimate a total loss no more than 200 million, and the piece notes wheat’s international price variability and domestic usage.
The Journal-World notes a division in charity drives where the university is treated separately from the city. Faculty contributions are disproportionately affected, with the university asked for a larger share than its city peers. The paper urges no dividing line and calls for cooperation to benefit both entities.
A reflective editorial discusses Theodore Roosevelt's patriotism and leadership, then shifts to a critique of Big Business attitudes toward public control of utilities. It defends President Wilson's diplomacy, notes controversy over lodging costs in Paris, and denounces aggressive propaganda by opponents as unpatriotic and harmful to national unity.

A Lawrence woman refuses to let her husband shovel snow saying it musses things up. The contrast is drawn with a wife who wakes early to tend the furnace while another shows disdain for domestic tasks, indicating differing domestic frictions.
A column satirizes Florida enacting a 3000 dollar fine for intoxication and contrasts it with Kansas law. It notes critics of liberty, mocks political rhetoric, mentions flu in Japan, and ends with local ads for saltpetre, high school hoops in Iola, pasteurized ice cream, and a Roosevelt photo in the Chicago Tribune.
Lawrence residents discuss how university students and instructors should be treated as part of the town in a Jewish Armenian fundraiser. The piece critiques rhetoric about humanity, noting mixed views on public engagement and urging clarity in language and civic duty.
