A ROOSEVELT PATRIOT.

,t' Senator Hiram Johnson arose in the senate yesterday and demanded to -V know why General Leonard Wood was •'kept at home',' instead of being given a command in Franco. On Tuesday,

Secretary Baker testified before a senatoriaf committee and said that the retention of General Wood on this side was understood by the president, by the army and navy departments and '.by General Wood himself, and the arra:igement was dictated by military .J i expediency. 'v That*-«ught to be enough for any loyal American. Senator Johnson i knew this and his" pressing the subject sugg its. cheap, demagogic politics. He is less concerned about Genoral Wood than he is about the John-

Son presidential boom, and he Is more 1 ooncern^d about this latter than he is & about the .^victory of this nation's frmies.

The Tribune invites ita readers to remember Senator Hiram Johnson, oi California. His war record will be reaaembered chiefly for his pretended

anxiety-over General Wood. n,

American women are '"loafers struggling along in high-heeled shoes and unable to ^-ork, even U they wanted to."

If the speaker intended to point out that American women, generally spiking, are not fitted to pitch hay, dig potatoes or pull a cart to market with a donkey or a do* in the other half of the harness, as the women of some countries do, then she was right, and the country is glad of itl

But after considering the millions of farmers' wives, the other millions ol city housekeepers and still more millions of women working in the factories,' stores and offices of the nation, ho case can be made tor the charge that the American woman is a loafer."

In the Tat&en&v'orf definite statistics, there may be room for argument,' but who can say. that the women of the country are not on dutj^ a,nd doing their sha,re of the work more hours a day than the men are? Certainly they are tfoing the work that falls to them, and tfeere is a plenty of it.

CUS8ING THE COURT.

Because the supreme court declared invalid the child labor law passed by congress—a decision which millions of Americans regret—Senator Owen proposes to penalize any judge who in the future presumes to question the legality of an act of congress by instant dismissal from his judicial office» It would, of course, require an amendr ment to the constitution itself to accomplish such a result, A mere act of congress to that effect would be dignified unduly by calling it a acrap of paper.

It is not an uncommon trait—this of wishing to exterminate" an authority which happens to thwart, one's purpose, Xot many years ag5 a restless and," sometimes, useful ex-president proposed to submit-judicial decisions to popular vote, but most Americans did not take the proposal very seriously. Senator Owen's present suggestion is a little more drastic but is of the same general character.

To subordinate the Judiciary below the legislative jnay, at times be a favorite project of politicians, but wise men will hestitate Derore they indorse it. In the long run American liberties are not jeopardized by the supreme court's power to veto congressional legislation. It may irk the impatient, but no fundamental human right is assailed, t.

SIMPLE LIFE IN WAR TIME.

"Elimination of unnecessary dishes" is one war conservation measure under consideration by Terre Haute restaurant 'keeper* .. V

This means that instead of the usual canary bird's bathtub# which flock around our plates we'll get a three-in-one combination with the whol# layout served at once.

There's no doubt of the convenience of the latter arrangement. Not only doesc lt" cut down dishwashing, but it also means "no wasted motion, a great saving according to efficiency experts. If a mechanic can assemble a fine little automobile in four simple twists of the wrists, certainly tjfe ought tor be able to eliminate some 6f the unnecessary processes connected with the serving of food, and if the "general utility" plate with its portions marked off with mashed potato or cardboard fences, proves a successful operation, it should be adopted at home as well as in public.

In the average home, particularly one in which Mr. Hoover's recommendations are faithfully observed, there is little waste, but nobody expects one» to curtail the* essential daintiness vrtiich should go with the serving of food. Eating, even under the best of conditions, is not an especially pretty sight. We need to surround thatf* function with certain amount of formality in order to preserve it as one ot the refinements of life.

So important is this that one's table manners are said to be a pretty failcriterion of one's "tiphringing.

However, there are not only exceptions to all rules but occasionally a seemingly hard and fixed rule absolutely reverses itself. The "gospel of the clean plate" is one notable example of this.

But there is a golden mean in all things. We need to search out and find that *'"golden, mean" in more things than one in these dislocated times, when it is so easy to become fanatical..

Elaborate fussiness never did have any standing among people of good taste. An Appreciation of the simpler things of life won't hurt any of us.

Astrologers read this as an unimportant day in planetary direction. Mars is mildly benefic in aspect, while Uranus is strongly adverse.

There is a sign held to presage much internal unrest in all countries, Uranus making for discontent with labor conditions, criticism of persons in authority and lack of large responsibility.

Italy may suffer severely from food problems and from the effects of enemy propaganda. The transits of Saturn and Uranus are inimical to political affairs and may bring about a crisis this month or next.

The sinister influences registered in all European countries upon the populaces will have upon the cabinet in England.

All the signs appear to presage for the United States growth of power to achieve the miraculous, according to the seers, but they warn the people that sacrifice and union or supreme effort will be the price of success.

Paris comes under a rule making for the most extreme excitement, for extraordinary conditions and for events that mark a new page in history.

A royal marriage is foretold for next month, and this will cause unusual comment.

One of the good results predicted as a result of the war is a new interest in restoring the maimed and crippled from every cause to usefulness in life. Thus victims of industry will profit as well as those wounded in battles.

The navy is to gain much honor and recognition. Next month may be a most memorable time, bringing victories.

Saturn in Leo menaces Italy next month and warning is given that her armies may suffer from treachery as well as from direct attack.

Persons whose birthdate it is should not travel nor make changes. They should be very discreet in their dealings wifh others. ..

Children born on this day ita&y be erratic and changeable in disposition. These subjects of Gemini are likely to be fairly successful in life.

WAR SAVINGS LESS.

Harvest Has Decreased Materially In Past Three Months. WASHINGTON, June 13.—-The. government harvest of war savings has decreased in the last three months, but officials count strongly on the saving campaign, ending June 28, Thrift day, to raise revenues from this source above any past record. Treasurv reports today show about $1,600,000 is now pouring into the government coffers from war savings everv dav, as compared with daily rates of $1,900,000 in May $-'.000,000 In April and $1,700,000 in March.

Sales of War Savings and Thrift stamps by months since the campaign started early last December, are as follows:

December. $10,23fi,000: January, $24559.000 February. $41,148,000: March $53,967,000 April, $60,972,000 May $57 1 I1 ot!.000 June, to date. $19,000,000.'

These figures show, it was pointed out, that the biggest receipts were during April when the Ubcrtv loan campaign was in full blast and war savings efforts were subordinated to the bond nelling movement. Total receipts from savings noW amount to $208,000 OOU.

Soldiers' Letters

The Tribune Readers Want to Knew Where Your Soldier Boy Is and What He Is Doing—Send in Your

Soldier Letters to the Tribune,

From Claude Craig. Camp Jackson, S. C., Jane 7.

Editor Terre Haute Tribune: Subject: "Has Frank Holland Gone Locus?"

Received a letter from my brother, J. H. Craig, and the enclosed clipping to you sure made me laugh.

Now, part of this of what Frank wrote is all right But he went too far for me to overlook it when he said he met the most blood-thirsty set of southern men at Spartansburg, S. That part was too much. And he had better not let George Whitman, of New York state, read that part. What was in the bottle, Frank? Did he not know that the Spartansburg camp is made up of New York state National Guards, and that Ithose brown-looking fcien who are always looking for a flght were the boys north of the Ohio river? Take another look. You have the wrong "deflection" and short a little on your "range." Poor shot for an artilleryman. Better get into the engineers. And don't forget that there are a few of Indiana boys in that bunch of New Yorkers. I have been In Spartansburg and know a few. Had business up that way which will state later on. And does he not know that Governor Whitman is awfully proud of this class of men? May the good Lord save him if the governor ever finds out what he said.

FVank surely got his dates mixed. Tt must have been here that he saw them come in barefoot. That would sound more like it. We take and nail a pair of shoes to the floor, then lead them up, put their feet in and lace them stand in them twenty-four hours. After that they are all right.

And sure they can^hoot "crapSj** and are as hard as a nigger head rock. But last winter got their goat.

Now, giving Frank some credit, "y©u can't beat these northern boys that are down here if you look the world over. Plenty of pep and have got got the "click." Now for my business around Spartansburg.

About the first of April was alt fn. Went up around Kings' Mountain in North Carolina for a much-needed rest and to get away from the same old cry, "Fall in!" At a mountain village I met a school teacher. Miss Eva Plummer, a real southern North Carolina girl. You know the old story, "Love at first sight," and on May 16 we were married at Columbia. She is sure a jewel and a flower of the foothills. We have rooms not far from a camp known as Shandon Annex, a part of Columbia. Sh© will be with me until my brigade goes oversea, which we hope will not be lfmg. While I am gone my

ife will go back to her

school work. Now. tell Frank Fm awfully sorry he made this awful mistake on account of the governor of New York. Surely the sun has don® its work on him. Regards. Yours, 1st SERGT. CLAUDE M- CRAIG, ir6th Bug. I-'. A., Brig, ikdqrs., Camp Jackson, Columbia, s. C.

From Oliver Brinkmart.

FRANCE, Monday, April 14, 1918. Editor of The Tribune:—Sir:—I am a consumer of the "Terre Haute Tribune," and have received them here in France regular, although they are usually fourteen and eighteen days old it is very good when you consider the distance, also the regularity is excellent. ,.-

In regards to the army's morale, aiid food, etc.. I can say, it is excellent, with truth, for I was jtmong the first American troops to land in France and every man in uniform of the army of the United States, one and only thought is, "get the kaiser."

Our food is excellent, both in quality and quantity^ We have plenty of clothes tsiid must say, on the while, the soldiers of the American overseas contingent are a happy and care-free lot.

I cannot praise the Y. M. C. A. too much, for it has everything vou need and all of our entertainments are organized by the Y. M. C. A.

I enlisted in the United S1at#? artm on the 25th of January, 1914, and my parents are residents of Terre Haute. I had my home In Jasonville, Indiana, for more than four years.

A boast for Indiana, it !s the most represented state in the Union in the overseas contingent. Does that prove anything?

I often fall to receive the Sunday paper. I do not know why. I hope I can receive it in the future, for I am a great lover of cartoons and don't like to miss the Sunday cartoons.

To any of my former friends of .Tnsonville, If you wish to write me, my address is as follows I will be glad to answer all letters I receive.

Other T. H. Boys.

The Tribune today received cards from Terre Haute boys stationed In three training camps. From Newport News, Va., Frank Cade writes as follows "Still hitting 'em on the nose in the Military league here. All the T. II. boys said hello. They will back up old Terre Haute 'over there,' you can bank on that."

From Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis. Mo.. Jim Conover, former Garfield high athlete, writes: "LaFollette and I are real soldiers by this time. They sent us out on the dynamite squad to blow stumps today. I guess we will go to our permanent camp this week Will write you from there. We see some swell boxing matches here. We had two knockouts here Saturday. Give out best to everybody,'

Somewhere In France, May 11th, 1918.

Dear Mother and Dad: I should have written to you yesterday, for yesterday was Mother's day, and every soldier was supposed to write to his mother, but I went on a trip to play ball and had to put it off until today.

I am sorry you cannot send the papers for I would like to read what's goii^g on there, but I think the ban will soon be lifted again, after the mail situation clears up.

I am in good health and hope you are all the same. Will close as ever. Your Affectionate Son.
