WHAT A LONG TAIL OUR CAT HAS! In an address delivered at the. White House to the members of the Democratic National Committee (polltics beinjr adjourned) President Wilson declared, it is said, that the Senators who are opposing his plan for a League of Nations are pigmy-minded. Well, when ft man who a few year ago was applying for a pension from the Carnegie Fund for superannuated college professors gets to eating off gold dishes with the King in llucktnphani Palace, any ordinary American United States Senator must seem to him to be small potatoes and few in a hill.

DEPORTATION OR INTERNMENT? It epeaks ill for the resourcefulness of our Federal officials that they have been able to devise nothing better than deportation as a solution for our undesirablealien problem; and we therefore regret to read the recent glaring headlines of our daily papers announcing that the big police and detective forces of our Federal government are making a nation-wide drive for the purpose of rounding up and deporting to Europe all of cur un desirable alien residents. It seems that a far better plan would be to hold these aliens in concentration camps here pending a final settlement of affairs in Europe. No doubt there are thousands of foreigners in the "United States at the present time who are a menace to the peace and welfare of the country, and the situation unquestionably calls for prompt and vigorous attention: but It does not necessarily follow that we should unload this trouble of ours on European countries by compelling them, at this critical time, when they are struggling bo desperately and almost hopelessly to maintain responsible governments, to absorb the large numbers of dangerous aliens who are worrying us here. Our soldiers went to Europe to bring order out of chaos, and we are keeping them there to preserve such order; and It would seem that, if we are ever to be able to bring our soldier boys home again, we m ist do all that we can to improve conditions over there rather than to make them worse. It would, of course, cost us something to hold these, aliens here in concentration camps until the European crisis is safely passed, but it would cost us a -whole lot more to increase the size of our European array, or even to prolong its stay abroad for a single additional month in order to counteract the evil influence there of the large number of deported aliens.
THE T. E. AND THE NEWS. The telegraph editor's job gets stale just as much as any other man's job when you have been at it long enough. The telegraph editor is the most blase man in the world. The earth is his footstool and the day's news brings him the flotsam and jetsam from all over. It would take a good deal to make him cry and he hasn't a good laugh in his system. Listen to these: "Seven hundred gallons of whiskey, valued at approximately $8. COO, came to grief In a local freight yard at Miami, Oklahoma. The booze, consigned to Sherman, Texa6, was found by the sheriff in twenty acetylene gas tanks. He was unable to learn who had shipped the stuff." If the telegraph editor had ever run booze across the line in a baby carriage or in the radiator of an auto he'd sympathize with the owners of that booze. "The bright lights of Milwaukee's dance halls do not hurt the eyes of Mrs. John Scharmack, 68 years of age, sccordinq to her husband, who says she has a mania for fox trots and night gadding. "Scharmack became peeved when he returned home one night recently and found his wife out out to a dance, he says. What followed resulted in Scharmack being hauled to jail to answer to a charge of disorderly conduct preferred by Mrs. Scharmack." That's rathor unusual news, but the t. e. refuses to
joe feazed for he never saw a '8 year-old woman fox trot
and he has no use for night gadders. It always makes him sleepy to stay up after f. "Mrs. Ellen S. Cooley of Wenatchee. Wash., Is 82 years old, but she has young ideas. She is suing Ferdinand L. Cooley, 70 years, for divorce, alleging she is unable to live peaceably wrth her mother-in-law, aged 90 years. The Cooleys were married in Muskegon, Mich., In 1903 and apparently lived happily until Cooley's mother came to live with them in 1915." The t. e. didn't crack a smile when that came over. If he had his way he'd lock Ferdy up without his supper and put the mother-in-law down in the dark basement for a while. "Rev. C. P. Terry. Wheeling. W. Va., Presbyterian pastor, went to his porch on a recent morning and found eight Jugs of whiskey. The prohibition off'cers have been aiven the mv'tery to solve." The telegraph editor sighed when that canie over, shot his cuffs and remarked, "It's too late for me now to study for the ministry," but some men are born lucky. "Jacob Young of Live Oak, Cal., shears in hand and astride a ladder in his prune orchard, slipped and fell backward, his foot catching in a crotch of a prune tree. He was unable to release himself before hoge came up and swallowed his wallet containinn 550 in oaner monev." This actually moved the t. e. because he believes that any man who has fifty dollars in real money is a bloated capitalist and deserves all he got. "He went to Columbus and got drunk, came home and burned up our marriage license," was the story told the Probate Court by Mrs. France Scarcello, as she asked if she could get a duplicate of the document. "Do I want a divorce? No. I'll get me a club or a gun and I'l 'learn' that gentleman something the next time he comes home drunk." She looked like she meant it. "That guy makes me tired," said the t. e. Burning up the papers don't free you from the bridal halter. I hope she uses the same club Jim Watson always uses."
NEW POLITICAL PARTY. There is a new political rarty out West and it is growing rapidly. It Is known as the Farmers' Nonpartisan League, and it now has an enrollment of 2ff),000 members. It has captured North Dakota and is in a fair war to control Minnesota. Montana, Idaho and South Dakota. It is much like the old Populist party, but has a better backing and appears at a time when a new par:y is likely to be heard. The avowed purpose of the league is to establish an equitable system of marketing" for the farmer. Of course a political party cannot be built upon a policy, especially one so limited. Political parties are born, not made. They belong to human nature. So the true purpose of a new party should be to keep the old party straight. There Is plenty of work to do there. The old parties are so apt to kick the traces and jump over into melon patches and green apple orchards, and so .whatever effort is organized to drive them out and stop their stealing, will be welcome. When the League does that it will accomplish all that Is worth accomplishing.
KILLING A FOOL BILL. The Indiana Senate yesterday knocked the silly Wright bone-dry prohibition bill galley west. This was the dry bill to amend the state-wide prohibition law. One of its provisions would have enabled a man with a grudge against another to have sworn out a warrant enabling a pestiferous constable, and we all know what constables in this region are, to go into a man's house and search it from cellar to garret for whiskey. The constable, whether you hadn't a drop of whiskey in the house, could turn it upside down. He could go into your wife's bedroom and throw all her lingerie out on the floor, pretending to search for whiskey. It was the most rabid and fanatical piece of legislation ever introduced in an Indiana Assembly and almost revolutionary in its tendencies. It really made a mockery of the state-wide prohibition law and tended to discredit it. It was a pernicious legislative suggestion and went the way it deserved to go in the waste basket.

TJ. S. BAGGED THE STEEL. Perhaps the ladies wondered what was the matter with the corsets. The War Industries board, no one else, was responsible for The fact that corsets didn't fit so well, or provide the customary trimness of figure during the past year. The lack of trimness if such a lack existed was due to the fact that the government confiscated some few thousand tons of steel which heretofore had been used in the manufacture of corsets. This and many other interesting features of conservation were revealed by speakers at the annual banquet of the Industrial Club of Chicago. Charles K. Foster, chairman of the priority committee of the War Industries Hoard, let the secret out. "By a delicate research we discovered that in 1917 women carried around with them some 15,000 tons of the finest steel in their corsets, and we needed the steel. So we induced the corset manufacturers to reduce the number of stays and that gave us several thousand tons of the much-needed steel."

CONGRESS KNOWS ITS JOB. Perhaps the most important new industry established in this country as a result of the war is that of potash production. Approximately JSO.OOO.Onn Is now invested in the plants in various States where the potash i extracted and put into form for commercial use. Not enly is the industry itself of importance, but the entire agricultural life of the nation is freed fropi dependence upon foreign sources of supply as the development of potash production in this country advices. It is reported there is now in storage enough potash produced in the United States to meet the demands of the 1919 agricultural crop, and that in eighteen months our production will be developed to a point where we will be forever free from German sources of supply. Not only is future production assured in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of our farmers, but practically inex
haustible sources are available from which to manufac-! ture the product. All that is needed to make this Indus- ; try permanent is intelligent protection from foreign com-', petition by the imposition of adequate tariff duties. The i incoming Republican Co-isress will see to it that rota'-h ! is taken care of in the new tariff bill that thev will !
frame, but whether the measure will receive the ap provnl of the President is another ouestion.
Strong, Permanent Army Will Be National Need When Peace Comes By CHARLES W. ELIOT, Prettdent Emeritu of Harried UmTcnitT
Since the sinking of the Lusitania I have been convinced that the present German government is faithless -with regard to all international contracts, treaties or agreements; bo that no other nation, or group of nations, can put confidence in any future asseverations or pledge of that government, until by a long course ten years at least of honorable conduct the government and people of Germany have established a new reputation for truth and honesty, and for honor in international relations. Many months before war was declared in April last, I held that
active participation of the United States in the war against Germany was the clear duty of the American people, and also that the United States should join the entente allies in an offensive and defensive alliance to prevent international war when the present war is over, and therefore should maintain a strong national army and navy based on universal training and universal liability to service in war. To be sure, in respect to the provision of a 6trong American army and navy based on universal training and liability to service it has thus far been quite impossible to bring congress, or indeed the general public, to definite, far-reaching action to the great disappointment of many American patriots;. so that the army BJid navy of the United States at this moment rest on temporary or provisional enactments which provide only for enlistments for the war or "the emergency." I venture to hope that when the temporary enactments of the present congress have taken effect congress will feel disposed to provide the country with a large democratic and permanent army on the Swiss model. To that end indispensable if the United States is to contribute to the prevention of war hereafter most of the recent temporary arrangements will prove to be contributory. The people, but particularly the young men, have gone into this war lo put down autocratic, divine-right government, to abolish the professional military class and secret-diplomacy, to make justice or righteousness the governing principle in international relations and to promote liberty among the masses of mankind. They will not lose their ardor in 'lis righteous cause, or abate their efforts in even the least decreo.

Finally he hollered at me and I looked around and hy heck if it wasn't brother Fred. 1 mentioned it in a letter some time ago that If I ever bumped into him I would shake hands and receive him like a prodigal son.

HEALTH TALK BT D TAUNTWK MOTT. ' x AH the Mood in the body goes thru the kidneys within a few minutes. Therefore the kidneys are very important in health or disease bec&ase the kidneys filter out of the blood mast of the waste (poisonous) Bubetances sad the blood then flows on toward the heart thru the kidney vein. What the kidney take out of the blood forms urine. So it is rery important to have the water tested by a chemist, at least once a year. I would suggest that everybody send a sample to Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y., and receive report of a thorough chemical and microscopical test, free of charge. The kidneys and bladder suffer from the wear and tear, and we get chronic inflammations sometimes indicated by
Tjackaehe, pamful Toidirrg of water dull, heavy feelings. Perhaps the urio acid is stored up in the system m excessive amount, and consequently when the urate salts are deposited in muscles and joints one suffers from lumbago (pain in back), rheumatic pains, gout, ete. Nothing will act so nicely as "Aoaric" (inti-uric-actcr) a recant dswovery of Dr. Pierce's which can b had stt aiSJdrog stores. "Annric" washes away tbe poisons, cleanses the bladder and kidneys rendering them antiseptic, consequently one is soon cured of lumbago, rheumatism, gout and the body is put into a clean, healthy etate. .
URIC ACID CRY8TALS AS f" TUHOUGH A .MICROSCOPE Kidney Disease is the most freq. cause of rejection of seekers for life lisurante. The first teat of an examiner is to determine if the kidneys are healthy, because life is short when these organs are diseased. Get rid of these uric acid crystals (urate salt) by taking six 01 eight glasses of water daily and take Dr. Pierce's Anuric three times a day. "Anuria" dissolves uric acid as hot coffee dissolves sugar.
