EXTRAVAGANT BUYING. Reflecting the views of this newspaper on the folly of extravagance in dress, the Kansas City Times goes farther and blames much of the profiteering on the tendency of the public to buy, not only clothing, but anything else it may want at any price asked. The Times ob serves: Perhaps the feeling that money counts for so little

according to Atty. Gen. Palmer. i

Why should he be astounded? Doesn't his household buy food and clothing? Doesn't he eat or has the mistress of the White House no knowledge of the cost of the table? It may be stated again, perhaps boring our readers to the point of extreme ennui, that if Mr. Wilson had given more attention TO HIS OWN COUNTRY AND LESS TO SHANTUNG; if he had remained at home where he belonged instead of making his imperial trips to Paris, he would be better posted on the way the common people, for whom our aristocratic president has little use EXCEPT AT ELECTION TIMES, were being gouged and held up by Infamous profiteers. If Mr. Wilson would have deigned to listen to even some good ,vmocrats who see the way the country is beaded. h would not be so profoundly astonished. The sweating toiler, with a family of five, or six mouths to feed, whose estimable wife, strive as she may, cannot make both end's meet NO MATTER WHAT WAGES HER HUSBAND GETS, could probably shock Mr. Wilson into a daze If he would listen to him for a few moments.

WHY SYMPATHY? Some editors have all the luck. There's the one that was escorted to jail Monday by a brass band and accompanied by a parade of citizens in fifty automobiles. His cell was a mass of flowers and contained a refrigerator full of the best possible kind of food and all because a peevish, judge said he was in contempt of court. And other editors slaving over hot desks and con-

IS IT DESIRABLE? If Lafayette is the kind of a place its newspapers say it is it is a mighty poor place to send a boy to eolleee. In speaking of the murder of a woman there on Monday the Journal says: They made highballs with ginger ale and w hiskey and the woman went to her death and the man went to jail. There, in the briefest possible way. is told the story of the latest tragedy that ha stirred the city. State laws and federal laws forbid the sale of liquor in Lafayette and yet drunkenness is not an uncommon thing. Intoxicated boys and men are seen upon the street, the city court records show frequent convictions for intoxication, and at intervals death puts forth a bony hand and plucks a victim for his garden. Liquor is sold in public houses of prostitution, it is sold over bars, it is sold at back doors, it is sold by bootleggers. Those who care to pay the price may have their appetite satisfied. In less than five weeks the university will open and a vast number of young men will flock to the city and the liquor vendors w-ill not overlook the possibiliity of degrading and debauching these young men and rendering them unfit for the work they are sent to college to perform.

WE'LL SAY ITS WORRIED. The concern of the Democratic press for the future of thf Republican party is truly touching. It is subhmelr pathetic. Unless the Republicans in the senate consent to the ratification of the covenant of the league of nations, the Republican party is ruined, laments the press

of the unwashed and unterrified Democracy. Well, why

think that after the sixty years of pestering democracy has received at the hands of the Republican party, it would be mighty glad to see ruination overtake that organization. Really, the solicitude shown itsn't exactly natural and somehow or other we're inclined to suspect it as something spurious. Fort Wayne News.

AFTER a fellow has been MARRIED ten years it len t love that MAKES him work ten hours a day TO pet money enough to rav the food bills his WIFE runs up IT Is half habit and half fear. ONE thing that lmpres?ea the sn-all. hoy now when HIS father talks about the apple orchards he USED to rob when he was a boy IS that the old man seems to be conFid e r. b 1 e OF a liar.
