REPRESENTATIVE WOOD “IN HAD" AGAIN.

Representative Will li. Wood of 'his congressional district is an ardent advocate of one cent letter postage, which is being urged by the big users of the mails, like mail order houses, e'c., and would like to have the government return to the old deficit plan in the postoffice department. In speaking of the matter the Indianapolis News says editorially: . i ‘‘Congressman Wood, who wants to revolutionize existing conditions, and send his name resounding down the corridors of time by having it attached to a law reducing postage on city letters from 2 cents to 1 cent, declares, that the present postal rate is not an equitable one; ‘There is no sound reason,’ lieTsays, ‘why a patron of the postal service should be required to pay as much to send a letter to his next door neighbor as to a distant point.’ Nor, if the Lafayette statesman will look at it from another point of view, is there any reason why a patron of the postalservice shouldn’t be required to pay more for a , ter to a distant point than to liis next door neighbor. If is any one government function where the plain people get their money’s worth it is in the mail service. It is undoubtedly worth the full 2-cent charge to send a letter to one’s next door neighbor, as Mr. Wood will find out if .he attempts to send one by any other means than the mail; and it is worth a, good deal more than 2 cents to

send one to a distant point, though this can be done. Furthermore, it is not to be forgotten A;hat it is only recently that the postoffice department has been able to scramble through a fiscal, year without a deficit—and even now some carpers declare that the change is only apparent and is largely due to a different method of bookkeeping. The postoffice department is not a money making institution, though it might well be without doing the country any harm, for there could hardly be a more equitable tax assessed than that paid through the mail service where everybody gets more than his money's worth. It seems t,oo bad that Mr. Wood should hot devote his effulgent talents to more pressing problems.”

PROCESSIONAL.

By Walt Mason.

The tumult and the shouting rise from Europe’s red and harried shore; i h (■ king - and eaptains, to their eyes/ are wading in a flood of gore; so let’s talk peace, already vet, Test we regret, lest we regret, The nation's honor we'll defend, whenever there shall rise the need: but to this country he's no friend who always wants to die and bleed; let’s flaunt no sword or bayonet, lest we regret, lest we regret. The Jingo fierce will never cease berating people safe and sane, who’d rather have the boon of peace than see the landscape strewn With slain ; let’s gently drown him in his sweat, lest we regret, lest we regret. Buihl up the army, if you will, and" make the navy great and strong; but don’t confess a lust to kill, or talk of bloodshed all day long: don't claim that war’s the one best bet, lest we regret, lest we regret. Don’t be too eager that our sons shall seek the sodden fields of gore, to furnish targets for the guns of men they never saw before: don’t whoop for death and dearth and debt, lest we regret, lest we regret,

Corn Seed Tests.

When 'you find a man in a community who tests his seed corn it is a pifetty safe bet that you have found a man who is a better farmer than the one who trusts to the benevolence of nature. He believes in preparedness, while the other fellow is a pacifist who believes in waiting till the corn doesn’t come up and then tries to get ready when the seed ammunition isn’t available. Hast fall a large part of the corn belt produced soft corn that will not make much of a show in a germination test. It will be good stuff with which to start one of those bumper crops that, gives the farmer all the bumps. The farsighted man will immediately gef busy testing the seed he has saved and cull in g out ea rs that would otherwise mean vacant hills and low yields. A good supply of dead ones and weaklings should go to flic crib. If every corn grower practiced rigid seed selection and testing the price might go down, as some calamity specialists are in the habit of informing its. But that never was a good excuse for cultivating empty hills. It would pay" better to dig bait and go fishing.—Country entleman. ’ /■/

White Hats.

We have among us,' in the prime of life, countless unconditionals Who wore with grace and distinction the high white hats of the Republican campaigns of the 80s. To these gentlemen the coming season’s styles in headgear Will not arrive as Strangers, Among the curses of the great' war is to he a tidal wave of paleliued lids. •The' 'scarcity of dyes which lias been felt in other industries has at length been felt by the fellers, and; felt, in consequence, is to vary from i its accustomed black or gray or nobby brown and !o take on lighter and gayer tints white, pink, pale J

blue and delicate; exquisite yellow. Now at length there will be an opportunity for man to express his personalitv in a halo to match the aura of his soul. Clear, dainty shades of pastel colorings will herald the finer minds, and spirits less unblemished may spatter here and there such polka dots as candor requires*. At least, the shapes are to be sane. No chapeau Alpine or freakish toreador, with or without a nifty bunch of feathers or a green rosette, is to frighten father into making last season’s purchase last him through this spring. The styles are 1o be American, “Pale hats for male people,” is the prescription: hats and hearts white, but not livers, the slogan.— 1\ nickerbocker Press.

United States Must Increase Degree of Its Control of Gold Supply

By PAUL M. WARBURG of the Federal Reserve Board

WHILE abnormal conditions have for the present destroyed. the power of interest rates to direct the flow of gold, sooner or later normal laws of economics will again assert themselves.

and we must then exp ec t that, owing to the inflation of currency . created in almost every country involved in the war. the demand for our gold will be very keen and determined. We may then have to part wi t h very large sums of gold, hut we

must so direct our course as to be ah}e to control this outflow and let this take place without creating disturbances in nur own economic life. The United States must “keep its j'.u.vder try” by holding in reserve tli ■ ssential strength of the federal reserve banks, NOT ONLY TO MEET ANY POSSIBLE DRAIN OH EMERGENCY, HUT ALSO, SO FAR AS POSSIBLE, TO OFFER A CHECK TO INFLATION. This country must greatly in«*re;i •<> the degree of its control Over its f ii rren t gold supply, assembling as far as possible even the gold carried in the pockets of the public. ALL FOREIGN LOANS DURING THE WAR SHOULD BE OF REASONABLY SHORT DURATION SO THAT CONTROL OF THIS COUNTRY’S GOLD MIGHT BE KEPT IN CASE THERE SHOULD LATER BE NEED TO USE IT.

Rates of Interest Will Rise When Peace Is Declared

By THEODORE E. BURTON, Former Senator From Ohio

E of two things must hap- ! pen when this war ends. Either enterprise must stagnate or rates of interest must rise. •Just as soon as this war is through, as before, foreign countries will conic to ns and will bid for The reservoirs of capital in the different countries are as if connected by pipes. They seek the same level. WE OUGHT TO HAVE A STRONGER FOOTHOLD IN THE LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. WE HAVE ONLY COMMENCED TO THINK OF THAT WHICH IS POSSIBLE IN OUR EXPORT TRADE. ! - There is another thing which we might to look at after the war. Have we not in our legislation devoted too much attention to acaI domic theories in regard to the way ! of doing business and too little to | the prevention of fraud, dishonesty i and oppressive practices? The sins j of, a number of corporations have been man\.

No Need of Haste In Increasing Our Armaments

By HAMILTON HOLT, Editor of New York Independent

LET us make haste slowly in increasing our armaments. By . the time the war is over we shall most likely find the nations ready to organize the world for peace and disarmament. IF THAT IS THE CASE ANY GREAT BURDEN OF TAXATION NOW IMPOSED ON , THE AMERI-. CAN PEOPLE FOR ARMAMENT PURPOSES WILL BE WASTED. If the nations, however, instead of making a durable peace, only declare a truce in order to continue the mad scramble for greater and ever greater armaments, then the United States, having lost neither in treasure nor in men, will be in a better position than anv other nalion to ENTER THE INEVITABLE AND CRUSHING RACE WHOSE END IS DEATH TO ALL BUT THE MOST POWERFUL. “Go to Church Sunday,’’ April 16.
