"To prove that I am right, just recall the events of November last. We had been solemnly assured, as w-e thought, that a failure to elect a Democratic Congress would give the victory to Germany, and we lost much sleep on account thereof. But the votes ere cast on November 5- On November 7, it was definitely known that the Republicans had carried both houses of Congress; and the Germans surrendered on the eleventh. "Listen to my brother in the February Everybody's: "What happened to the Germans was an utter spiritual collapse, a disintegration of morale both on the firing line and among the civilian population.' So far I asree with him perfectly But Brother George fails to mention the Republican victory as the cause of this collapse, which leaves his statement without reasonable proof. ' It is a fixed rule of lite to judge every man by his pat; o. applying this rule, it becomes clear President

THE PERNICIOUS MORNING'S M.AIL We started for our office in a wonderful frame of mind. Everything in the world was just as it should be. We were brim full of human kindness and brotherly love To say nothing of sisterly, you understand. We even loved the subway. ; We leaned quite nonchalantly against a Bolshevik. We clung to the monkey strap quite contentedly. Then we got to our office and picked up the mail. Item One letter from landlord stating that cur rent had been raiac: from $73 to $83 per month. Item Letter from friend needing $50 at once to pay on his auto mobile. Item Note from family doctor mentioning a certain amount Item Office note from the boss asking an mbarrassinr; q.ies'ion. Item Bill from automobile repair gentleman of great ambitions. Item Note from treasury oepartmtnt ec-nctrn.ng delinquency oLiberty bond. Item Note from club asking fcr last year's Jjes. Item T'uree fat envelopes containing rejected manuscript from magizines. Item Letter from Arthur Harr.merstein stying the frst act woulc nave to be rewritten and revamped, find the second act built over. Item Large fat envelope containing motion pictute icenario returned Resolution We are goini? to stay happy. Hereafter mail arriving at this desk will be opened by the office bov and carefully sorted. Whenever we read of these carryings-on in the hupper circles it makes as below stairs folk fairly glow with adoration at the quaint names for ountry estates. "The Box," "The Breakers," and 'Graystone" are all rlassy, but I like the name Arthur Somers Roche has selected for his Connecticut country home best of all. It has been named after one of his Srst novel successes. "Loot." According to the advertisements, the railway fare from a certam point to the Cornell semi-centennial ;s "$25 including birth."

Von Rindenburg says he had only two days' vacation d"ri the war. Most everybody would have been willing to give him more.

vides? Who gave this deputy assessor the authority to make a statement like that?

THAT "PLAIN PEOPLE" STUFF. President Wilson continually talks about his special understanding and appreciation of the "workers" and the "plain people." Where did he learn so much about them? He was either a college student or professor continuously from 1S74, when he entered Davidson College as a student, until he left Princeton University to become governor of New Jersey, excepting two years he spent in an unsuccessful effort to acquire a law practice at Atlanta. Since 1902 he has been continuously a politician and office holder- Before he became a candidate for office he had pronounced views about labor unions, and unprofitable servants, and ignorant "crews" from the south of Europe, which did not indicate that he was lying awake nights worrying over the welfare of the proletariat. He has been surrounded by wealth and social and educational exclusiveness all his life- He is the most secluded and exclusive president the American people have ever experienced. Yet Mr. Wilson continually turns patronizing

WHY MORE THAN ONE VISIT? There sems to be an animus asain?t Lake County in Indianapolis official circles for some reason or other. East Chicago citizens, for instance, have been com pelled at loss of time and money recently to make three trips to Indianapolis to do business with a state board, when one trip should have been enough. Could not some arrangement be made whereby it would be necessary for only, one visit to be made on a matter that could be settled in half an hour. The time of officials in this county is Just a3 valuable as that of officials in Indianapolis.

HIND SIGHTERS. In its pessimism a? to the labor situation, the admin, istration at Washington did not take into consideration the immense amount of building the country needs immediately.
