ON THE JOB.

President "Wilson's letter to Congressman Ralph W. Moss, as re ported elsewhere in th Tribune today, '^has been richly deserved. While other jjmembers of the house of: representa(Stives have devoted themselves to the ^oratorical revels concerning: big armies -~nd big navies and have behaved in manner that miut make the steel late ^makers and the ammunition jlks chortle with# gratitude at the aneral prospect of the tendency of ijthis nation towards militarism, Mr. loss has consistently applied himto such work as has marked his ^^congressional career and his name.has jkbeen wholly absent from -the list of gPiose who, seizing upon the' expedi-* ncy of war interest, have beckoned le spot light on themselves.

The president's deep and sincere appreciation of the constructive work the congressman from the Fifth ilstrict will be rea^. with satisfaction lere where his genuine service to the ration long has been appreciated.

There is merit in other congressional service than ., merely maintaining the iin for preparedness and war. Mr. loss seems to have, realized this and, «s the president's tetter reveals, it is not without appreciation in high quarters.

I,''THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of tmc acid .jfcin the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of jthis poison. Because of its over^abundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there,vrhea-^

It was Dr. Pierce who oil*

iAcovered a new agent, called Anai-ic," „f%hich will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. "Anuric" has proved to be 37 times more potent tnan lithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheumatism or tout, or many other diseases Tphich are dependent on an accumulation of uric fecid within the body. Send to Dr.

Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a pamphlet on "Anuric,"or send 10 cents lora trial package of "Anuric Tablets."

THE DRIVE DELAYED.

The advance of the .Russians yesterday in the eastern war arena suggests the question as to what the British and French allies expect to accomplish on the western front, or are their efforts blocked?

The German generai staff planned to take Verdun within six months. Since that time the. German army has proceeded slowly, methodically, invincibly against the French stronghold. According to last reports from Germany, the Germans are at present three weeks ahead or their schedule. In other words, unless other unforeseen circumstances arise, Verdun will fall within Ave months and one week after the siege was begun- The present operations against Verdun began about three months tgci. Accordingly, look for the fall of the great fortress by August, 1916. "But", says su writer in the Fatherland, "even if for any reason the German general staff should change its plans, there can be no question^ as to Germany's- 6verwhplming victory at Verdun. If Germany were to suspend her attacks, entirely, she would nevertheless have reason to congratulate herself. In the first place she has straightened out her line of defense with a minimum loss of life. No matter how many millions of conscripts England may how send to the continent, Germany's line in the west is impregnable."

Germany has nipped in the bud the widely heralded "spring offensive" on the part of the allies. Tremendous amounts of ammunition had been concentrated on various parts, of the line. Vast preparations had beets made. All these had to be sacrificed to save Verdun. The entire reserve of ammunition for the "great offensive" was eaten up in the attempt Like Joffre's famous spring drive of last year, the drive of 1916 only remains a myth.

LOOSE TALK.

One

the elements that may en

ter into Mr. Roosevelt's seeming decline in power is his recklessness on the stump. In Detroit he charged that the nation hkd gone along fatuously, refusing to learn from the world war and that not one single thing had been done to increase our preparedness. Of course the most casual newspaper reader knbwg that the colonel is nqt telling the truth. A larger army bill and a larger navy bill are now on their way through congress and provisions have been made for the increase of every department of the. army and navy. The colonel should reserve his glaring generalities to things on which he could be less readily refuted.

Somebody has, pulled this extract from an fertirle that appeared in his department of tho Outlook, September 23,'.1914, to confute his lat$r criticism of Mr. Wilson tp not protesting against the violation of the neutrality of Belgium: "It is certainly eminently desirable that we should remain entirely neutral, arid nothing but urgent need would, warrant our breaking our neutrality and taking sides one way or the other. Of course it would be folly td jipp into the gulf ourselves to no good purpose, and very probably nothing we could have done would have helped Belgium." This is valuable also in showing that on September 23, 1914, Mr. Roosevelt had not yet thought of running for the nomination for president.

Although the stars have presaged great gain fo, financiers, there are warning signs, however,, indicating heavy losses and strange conditions that could not be foreseen by those who ignore occult knowledge.

Women should conserve their energies while this configuration prevails, as the stars indicate confusion, delay? and disappointments, which nevertheless end happily.

There is a sign read as propitious for meetings that bring together large numbers of women, but sensational incidents are foretold and dissensions or disagreements are indicated.

CO^INZMA WESTEIOT LANDS.

Gar government has already spent $100,000,000 on Irrigation and reclamation projects, some of which have been rather notorious failures. One of the reasons is that, having provided water for the land, the government considers that its function was flnifihed. I

With the large class of persons we! hope to establish on this land, to the! profit of the United States, capital is j:. frequently insufficient to level the land and raise crops. When crops'have been raised it has been found frequently that there was no means

sellingrthe crops

profitably. There is lio rural credit system of any sort arid colonists find themselves dependent upon private1 capital, which exacts what it can get.

There is -in congress a bill (introduced by Mr. Grosser as H. R. 11329) for the establishment of a national colonization board under the departments of agriculture, labor and the interior, the duties of which as proposed shall be to take stock of land which may lie dfevelped into prosperous agricultural communities and of creating such colonies with' .government money. It proposes that the-government shall not only leVel and clear the land but build roads, ditches and irrigation plants, establish public utilities, and, orgapizfe co-operative institutions. The government shall then colonize these projects demanding' from the settlers an "improvement charge" equal to .4 per cent of the assessed value of the land plus an amount which will at the end of fifty years reimburse the government for the expenditure.

There are various other provisions of the bill designed to protect the project from exploitation by unscrupulous interests, but it goes rather too far in that direction, vesting in the United States the fee of"tffe"land for all time. Except for this" provision it is practically, a scheme to sell improved public land to settlers on time.

We dp not know, that the country is ready to undertake so radical an experiment as this bill proposes. It is worthy Qf, the most careful consideration in congress at any- rate. Similar plans have worked in British colonies, resulting in prosperous communities of independent landholders. Our former policies with respect to the irrigatable land in the west have not accomplished this result.
