IT is not what are we fighting for, but what we are fighting for.
NEARBY chap arrested for trying to repeat at draft enrollment. Probably from force of habit-
ARE you & gentleman? Toledo Blade says to a gentleman there are no feminine has-beens.
OH, yes! That loud noise you hear abaft the Atlantic is the Kaiser cussing about what we did in America on June 5.
OH, very well!. If it will increase production of vegetables by having the ladies wear overalls, let 'em put 'em on-
THE Frazee Press thinks that some fellows have an idea that to follow the flag is to attach it to the front end of their automobiles.
ALTHOUGH flour is three dollars a barrel "cheaper than it was three weeks ago, no one sees the bakers patriotically putting prices back.
THE dear ladies! Some of 'em Just have to be coaxed. Boston dame Bita on edge of church roof threatening suicide while congregation prays, clergymen parley with her, firemen spread nets and police keep back crowd3-
JUST as old Elm Ragon of our circulation department says, some patriots are so busy urging others to get on the war water wagon that they have no time to do such common task9 as working in the garden.
BY the way, there's a report that cities will be given credit for men already enlisted in army and will have to yield that many men less when drafting begins. If this Is true, instead of being obliged tfi give quotas to the government, Uncle Sam will owe Gary and Hammond about 200 men.
THE JUDGMENT OF MANY IS BEST. We have just this much to say to the Kaiser. Formerly, wars were begun and ended to serve the interests of. kings. The war in Europe was begun at the Instigation of a monarch. In this country the' question whether war shall be undertaken must be determined "by the two houses of Congress, all the members of which are now accountable directly to the people. The Judgment of "531 men drawn from all parts of the country, from all walks of life and from all shades of political belief, is more likely to be founded upon consideration of the best interests of the country than-is the judgment of any one man who ever lived or ever will live, even though he be that arch-egotist, Kaiser Bill.

The Sultan and Sultana of Sarawak. Sarawak's new sultana and ranee is a pretty and charming white woman, the daughter of an English peer and with a strong strain of American blood in her veins, some of her ancestors having been citizens of Boston. Her husband is the almost absolute ruler of a Targe part of the island of Borneo, known as Sarawak. While they remain under the protection of King George's suzerainty, and hence are debarred from contracting alliances or treaties with foreign powers, in every other sense they axe independent sovereigns, and are treated as such in the British orient and in England.
$605,000,000 over 1915, and four hundred and twenty millions over 1914, similar periods. The first nine months of this fiscal year imports were greater by five million dollars than for the entire year 1913, when a protective tariff was at work, yet the imports for the fiscal year 1913 produced $318,000,000 of revenue, while those for the nine months of 1917 produced but $157,692,000. or an average rate of duty on all imports for the period of 8 6 per cent practically face trade. Since steps were taken to raise $7,000,000,000 for carrying on the war, many people have looked on the subject of tariff revenues with contemptWe are becoming accustomed very quickly to large numbers, although it is within the memory of most of us that the Democrats were shocked at Speaker Tom Reed's declaration: "This is a billion-dollar country." But while revenues from customs may appear insignificant at this time, and the losses at the ports may be retrieved from our own pockets, the important fact to consider is the effect of free trade on the very industries wnlch are called upon to bear the brunt of the cost of our war financing. The present chairman of the Ways and Means committee of the House of Representatives, and many of his followers, seem to be possessed with an insensate desire to mako industry the goat in this war. Chairman Kitchin blames the business men for bringing on the war and declares they should pay for it. Democrats have sworn by all the gods of free trade that American industry shall have no relief from European postwar competition in the shape of higher customs duties. Taxation will continue for years after the war is over to meet interest on bonds and pay off obligations, and again the bnint of It must be borne by our own industries. But if America, through the maleficence of free trade, Is to be made the market-place for the products of the world, where are American producers to find the profits from which to pay taxes, dividends and labor?

' EVANESCENT CLOTHING." David Snedden, Boston's commissioner of education, got into trouble when, in addressing a national convention of teachers in New York, he referred sarcastically to women's "evanescent clothing." Precisely what the commissioner meant is a legitimate theme for debate. Inasmuch a3 he is a Boston man. and a Boston educator at that, it might be assued that he used the word correctly. On that assumption, if "evanescent" means anything as applied to clothing, it' must mean "ephemeral" or "short
lived," referring to th? fleeting nature of modern feminine styles. And that is a stale criticism, little considered by an unstable generation which holds variety as the only merit in clothing or anything else- j Rut th commissioner's mild remark raised a storm. There was an
indignant murmur from several thousand women. No sooner had he stopped speaking than a woman delegate leaped to her feet and proceeded to roast the Boston educator, protesting that if women wore "evanescent" clothing, it was because that sort of clothing was perfectly decent, and genuinely healthful, and far more sensible than the heavy clothing that men wear. She even became rather personal and referred to the perspiration dripping ol ome of the male speakers. To her. "evanescent" evidently signified what fancy fashion writers mean by "diaphanous." which in plain English is "transparently thin." The only certain thing about this vexing controversy is that some of our educators ought to make better use of the dictionary.
MORE IMPORTS LESS REVENUE. Imports for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, ended March 31. totaled $1,818,319,000, an Increase of $314,000,000 over 1916,
There Is more than one way of bein; well dressed, but the younger set wlif agree that No. 8335 is one of the best It baa a slight suggestion of the popular basque waist in the drapery of the-waist. The front panel of the waist is joined to sash ends which tie in a loose knot at the back. The waist has drop shoulders with long, plain sleeves which are finished with deep turned back cuffs. The square collar and the cuffs will be especially attractive if made of sheer organdy, hemstitched. Tte skirt i a simple, two piece model, gathered to a slightly raised waist line. This is a splendid model for a silk dress of foulard, satin, taffeta, crepe de Chine, silk poplin or faille. The dress pattern. No. 8335, is cut in one size, 16 years. Width at lower edge of skirt is 2Vs yards. The dress requires 5 yards 38 inch material, with yard SO inch contrasting goods. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.

SOMEBODY is passing this around A stock-buyer called at a home in the country to look over some hogs that were for sale HE inquired of the wife where her husband was "YOU'LL find him out in the hogpen; he's the one with a hat on,"- the kindly wiff replied. IT seems to us that girls do not eat aS many pickles as they used to io BUT they seem to fall in love just as often, though they are not AXY sweeter than they used to be. NEWS dispatch says that the "Kaiser saw General Below" HE will see a lot more of his generals BELOW, sooner or later. ASSISTANCE! Assistance! "WHY do we fight?" screams a pacifist ' YOU don't except with the mouth. WHENEVER a man has a Job around the house to do, he has to have a full set of tools A woman doesn't; she can even sharpen a lead pencil with her teeth AND the good Lord must be astonished sometimes to see what she can do WITH a hairpin. THE Austrian emp. Is reported to be dickering for peace DON'T believe It HE will never want peace as long as he has plenty of poison gas to squirt. WHAT has become of the old-fashioned woman WHO thought her husband was hungry WHEN he started to talk about chickens IN his sleep? SOME men. It seems, are not satisfied with the old-fashioned hell the devil has made - 3UT persist in making one of their own with all the modern improvements. A man advertises in an Antioch, III., paper. "I don't want" nobody to slander my wife, aa I can attend to my own affairs" OH, very well.
