THE COST OF HOLIDAYS. A rarrow-vi.-l'nrl M ltUUci.t n, vho itpp-nrrntly ronldrr? hurn.'in beings its mere ( o's in the industrial machln, h?u computed the loss In production vhi'"h results from the olrvanco by vorkrrs of tlir lrp.il JirUlrt3 s and the Saturday hull -holidays, and li:is prf.sontid Iiis Unding. as "the liih rrst of In -line." It amounts to rnany billion? of dollars. JJut It i.s nnt imprfiv. Iji thr- t ; r t p'ac-, tf all f .v5.ition f work at tho tirn-s ppoif'l "loil;tis" i-f a mi5niii-r. Thp time that br hprr.t in his ralrulatlons rnipht have brrn : pvnt more nirfully. If br had rrckond thr rosi to tho country of th- failure of vagabonds and thn idle ricli to do useful work hi s-tudy niiu'ht be more fntitlt (1 to consideration. I'mployiTs generally rrronize that the refreshment of the workers whic!i comes from holidays and half-holidays Increases their pr diieini; njwers arid thus more 'iin compensates for the falling off '.n production when work eeascs. Incessant wcrk is not the chief end for which mankind .heuld strive. On the contrary, it would le desirable if less work were necessary, so that people mlht give more of their attention to the arts and sciences which develop Found minds in sound bodies. The philosophers who have pictured ideal states emphasized that, labor hein more equally divided, there was les for the individual worklnprman to do than under present economic conditions. The riht solution of the economic loss which the t-tatistlclan presumably proposes to avoid by abolishing holidays is not to deprive the steady workers of their few periods of rest, but to compel idlers to po to work, and to encourage those who are employed to earn what they are paid.
MR. NEWBERRY AND THE U. S. SENATE. What the senate will now do with Trjman H. Newberry, alleged senator from Michigan, in the lace of his conviction, is among the mysteries. What it will do with him should the recount soon to result in the Wolverine states .rove that despite his corruption of the electorate, lie was defeated, is ;iho something of a mystery. Recently, it will be recalled that Sen. Sherman of Illinois, laid it down before that body that it must stand by Newberry, regardless of the outcome of the flrand Rapids trial, and it js pretty well known that such is also 'le attitude of the committee on privileges and elections, within which, a manipulated by Sen. Watson of Indiana, the Michigan corruptionist has been twice whiU washed already. Thus Newberry is added to that long list of rer ublican fraud artists, coming up through the years, that have so often made the title of senator a reproach. There L (las" Addicks. Delaware, for instante, and Matthew Stanley Quay, Pennsylvania; Clarence Don Clark. Wyoming; Simon Guggenheim of Colorado, John It. Foraker of Ohio, Isaac S:-phenson. Wisconsin: "Rlond Boss" Larimer of Illinois, and no tellhig how many more, whose corrupting exploits never trot so conspicuously into the limelight. Never a one of them was removed from their seats by the republicans. There have always been I Itr.ty of Watsons and Shermans on the reM',iblic.:n side f the senate, ready to defi public leetnc y if. drfrr.se ot" the corru pt ior ist methods of thir party, while partisans back home have groaned -t the heawns like a calf with the colic, seeki'ii; to convli.ee binelves that it was all the fault f f th democrats Sich methods ;es were employed in Michigan are rot uncommon with the g. o. p.. "(I-od's O-wn I'-arty.-' as it 'ies to imagine itself, perhaps accounting for the senatorial indisposition to eliminate the captured ones. Haing no principles upon which to tand. H is an established f.ct, back through 5 0 years, that it is only with money that. thrt republican party eer wins any canvass. Its appeal N and always bxs been, ever since the rebellion, not to the hrad. or to the hart, but to the greeds; in one place to the greeds of those who haf, and in others, to the greeds to those who have not. It is a s'ifü ieiit for the day party; a party of temporary xpediencies. Naturally, then, it cannot afford the elimination of Its eorruptionists. That once started mube there is no telling who rnipht be net. Accordingly about tlv only hope of retiring Newberry from the senate, lies in the probability of a dishonest count of the votes even after they wercast, that may ! corrected by the recount that i-f-oon to tike place and should svu h a condition transpire, climaxing the verdict at C.rar.d Rapids, showing Mr. Newberry to have been so unpopular with the peorle as to have needed to resort to misiountlr.g the ballots after being cast. in order o eff4-.c his apparent election, it ought to be elevating and inspiring to "C;-od's o-wn I'-arty;"" y--, ry irpiring.

j-tror.g that the desitrns of the royalists had not been rushed, but merely delayed. The eao vdth which the roup was effected and the government forced from I'.erlin would be r. standing invitation for revolt after rvo't. Compromise with revolution leads to di.-it.f gration. IInfor( ement of the treaty of Versailles must depend upon a maintenance f strong government at Ib-rlin in which the allies can put some degree i) confident e. They could have no confidence in t ministry strongly suspected of having rovallst designs. If the I'bert government is unable to put down internal uprisings with a strong hand, there will be reasons to fear that it is Incapable of fulhllin, its contracts. The situation cries aloud for a rededication of the allied powers to a maintenance of the peace. A strong evidence of a unity of purpose on the part of Ciermany's recent foe would be far more effective in preventing" a resurgence of the militarists than force u nintelllgently applied. The disquieting part of the situation is that there can be little allied cooperation while the United States stands aloof.
FEDERAL TAX REFORM. Sec'y of the Treasury Houston has strong public support in his rery.ii-.i that congress immediately simplify the inccmo and excess profits taxes. Roth of these, as they are conducted at present, make too much trouble for the payers, and too much disturbance in the country's business. The excess profits tax also has the admitted disadvantage ejf being unjust to the public in it practical results. It was intended to apply only to the business lnt rests immediately concerned, lopping e ff such profits as were due not to special effort or enterprise but to conditions caused by the war. The interests affected, as everybody knows, instead of paying that tax thempeives have merely passed it on to the consumer, multiplied ns usual. The publi.. Is raying the tax several times over. As for simplification, the desirability of that i-J apparent to every taxpayer. The farmers, through their organizations, have been demanding a simplified income tax form for their use. Any taxpayer, after wrestling" with his last report, feels like asking the same boon. Congress must act at the present session if there Is to be any improvement for the next two years.
MAKING MOVIES NATURAL. A Chilean electrical engineer is reported to have invented the latest improvement for motion pictures. His invention gives to the screen pictures the complete illusion of form and depth. So far human imagination has supplied any lacks in that line, and the movie going crowd has enjoyed its him drama in spite of the absence of huch naturalistic effects as are produced by the stereoscope. This invontie;n will not improve scenarios or itoN duction. It will, however, make the work of watching moving pictures easier for the physical eye. When the daylight screen and the three-elimen-Moned pictures are in common use, nothing will be lacking for the satisfaction of the observing public, in the mechanics of this great industry. If only some one will come along now who can inject such naturalness into plots and dramatization, the comfort and safety of the intellectual and spiritual eyes also will be provided for.
Whatever satisfaction John McCormack gets in paying more income tax than Caruso is equalled by Enrico's satisfaction in having to pay less than John.

STI'ADV A I) VAN CK OF TllF. CAMEL GUARDS. (The American Ismie.) To an impartii.l observer the fact that congress by a more than two-thirds vote submitted the 18th amendment, that 43 of the 48 states ratitied that amendment by large majorities in each case, and the further fact that members of congress who may be presumed to know the wishes of their constituents have voted for enforcement measures by an almost three-to-one majority, should be sufficient evidence that the people of the United States desira and are satisfied with federal prohibition. To this, of course, may be added ti e further fact that before trie amendment was ratitied nearly threefourtln of the states had, of their own state volition, bmished the liquor traffic from their own borders a id that large areas in the remaining wet states were dry'. The liepuor forces, however, are trying to make it appear that of a sudden a minority in this country put prohibition ever to the great surprise and disappoin:ment of the vast majority. Rut added to the evidence presented hereinbefore is ünother interesting bit of evidence to be found in. the chronology of the temperance movement the United States as carefully gathered and compiled and as covering the period from the roloninl days of 1642 to the present time. That chronedogy shows that ever since the colonists settled on this contii eut there has been some movement toward prohibition and that in no year and in no locality has the reform ever laid dormant. It has come up from practically nothing until it ha: swept the entire country. It has mt. of course, been a progress unmarked by retrogression and defeat here and there, but if one will study the chronology he will see that whereas here and there a few backward steps were taken, yet notwithstanding that fact the progress of the temperance mevement has been steady and of increasing volume and width year by year. It reminds one of the course of if mighty river which starts with a few feeble springs and which for many miles is so narrow and shallow that a good-sized boy can ensily jump across it. but which as it flows gathers width, depth and volume, with tributaries Towing into It every few miles until It becomes aMe to bear on its broad bosom the largest vessel allcat i" Kfc. modern limes

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
, Tili; LIMIT. When bakers raided the price of bread. And butchers raised the price or beef, A lot of words we left unsaid Including "crook" and, "bilk" and 'thief." We merely stifled down a sigh The things they kept upon their shelves Were things we simply had to buy, And which we couldn't make ourselves Hut when the barbers of the land Advance a hair cut to a dollar WVU take a firm, decided stand, And make a loud and ringing holler. We've &tood for raises, goodness knows. On rents, and light, and coal and such. On shoes, and shirts and ties and hose. But dollar haircuts are too much! Perhaps we'll let our hair grow long. Like Mr. Percival Maekaye's, And though wo see the paiinf? throng Inspect us with deriding eyes, And think that we're a poet too, (And that's an awful thought to harbor;) It's something that we'd rather do Than pay a dollar to a barber. Or we shall take the sugar bowl, And place it firmly on our dome. Like grandma elid. dear kindly soul. What time she clipped our hair, back home, And cut our tresses in the style That in the dear departed days. Made all our little playmates smile, Rut anyway, we'll beat the raise!

Times Cluingc. It looks as if the allies had organized themselves into a mutual execration society.
; it:licia. Feiicia has the augury of happiness, since that is the significance of her name. She is tho feminine of Felix, which seems to have been an agnomen assumed by any individual at will when he considered himself unusually fortunate. It appears first tn the reign of Herod Agripr a. It means "happy" and has Riven rise to all manner of words and names signifying good fortune in modern languages. There are 11 masculine saints by that name in the Roman calendar and Felice, the feminine, first appears in Italy, Spain and the south of France. From Felice have come Felicia in England and Felise In France. There was a Felicia who was queen of Navarre in 107. The old Romans had a Goddes.s of Happiness Whom they called Felicitas. Tho slave-martyr of Carthage who suffered with St. Perpetua was so called and there was another Felicitas under Antonius Plus, who, with her seven sons, presented a Christian parallel to the mother In the Maccabees. Throuph the votaries of tho youm; fclave-martyr Felicita became popular in Italy and this seme character is responsible for the rise to favor of Felicite in France. Faustina is an Italian form of the same name, but has never had porular favor. Felicia has always been the favorite form in English-speaking countries, though Felicity was much-used among the Turitans, and still prevails In religious communities. The pearl is Felicia's talismanlc stone. It insures her charm, affability and sincere friendships.-Monday is har lucky day and three her lucky number. The daisy, signifying simplicity, is her flower.
