It is j-iniftcant that the republican national committee, t ft)tain un air of resr ctaldlity for Its platform, is offering prizes to youths for ukge tlons. It Is an uq'.y truth that in one of the greatest periods In world history there not only have been no addresses in the American congress to thrill humanity, but the average of such as ther- have been lately is far below tho ordinary standard. No matter how hitter the comment of some on Wilson f to1ay, it 13 cortaln that in the future all Americans will congratulate themselves that their country had puch a spokesman in this Kreat tost of civilization. It will be to his "idealism" that they will turn with pride, r.ot to the materialism of some of hi partinan critics. It will be pointed nut thit at a time wh'-n the American people, and those of many other nations, had boon raised to spiritual heights by sacrifices, noble -.ictorbs and the hopes of a new day. th re was put on by the Gtfth congress one of the mos dLsgrvitlnc; spectacles f sordid and i etty politic in the annals of civilized man.

SEN. CAPPER'S DEMAGOGUERY AND THE H. C. OF L. Inclined as we h:ie hrrn to aImire Son. i'apper cf Kansa.-. for the l:ht tli it ho has apparently been making frr a reduction of the 11.

AVhen he keeps on ranting and railinpr at the attorney peneral, inotin the lvor act to him as sul'icient authority for prosecution of the proatot with federal courts on every hand dismlsin;; cas s and denyir.p that the law under existing circumertanccs any authority at all. tho purpose of hM Carryin-on becomes too p'ainly political and insincere to deserve inytliinp better than utt r c.n-Th.-xt has been Sen. Capper's pot hobby. t t li many moor.s; t- scream at tho attorn, y v. r.tl's failure to redue. livin.e: -ost. avsert that tb.e I-cver act Is ali-sut!'icicTit for the j urpose. and oppose any rmeilial iccisl at ion, such as pleaded for by that eü'.cla! under whose interpretation of the act. it applies only to pr-'tit rii-.i in foods, etc.. wanted by the povtrnment for the quit r.ient and maintenance of the army and navy- in the prosecution of the war. A half dozen federal courts have entertained the same view, hoMmc the act unconstitutional as applied to price r illations in the matter of commerce between civilian?. That issue Is to be fnucht "out aeain in a few days in the federal court at Indianapolis ht fore Ju-hre Anderson In the r.iatter of th attempt of the so err.ment to rsuUte wacc? ar.d punish mir. is ar.d i ratcrs for a conspiracy to boo-: eoal prices with referenr to coal not oinj; Into stncrr.mcnt bins for war purposes. Pcrhars incc S:r.. Capper has a little respect for th- b k :! opinion of Atty. (jrn. Palmer, or ctl. r f b ra! judges h h. ie held rimilarly. if miht be well to brin i; to bus hidebound partisin mind, thit Charb-s Kvans Hughes is rprten tinj the min rs m the cite at Indiaiiupolis.

and his lfral opinion teems to be much the same as that eif the atterney general also. V assume that JldK' Hughes, formerly not enly a republican candidate for president, but a ju.-tiee of the United States supreme court, has homo law in inmd to back his position, an J p rhapa ho in as Rood a lawyer fu the Kansas senator. We are quite bou'.d in tho face of th.o df v -lopments. therefore, to regard Mr. Capper's insistence as mere partisan bombast; railing ac:ain?t the H. C ef I. . to mollycoddlo th people, at tho attorney general for mere partis. in effect, and insisting against almost all the legal opinion po far available that the Leve-r act is FufTV?l'cnt, as an excuse for oppo?in? reinerli.il letrislation that mlcht bo sutTicient thereby intently predeotlnc the profiteers with one f th nicest complications ef ornate d rnagoijtiery that you ordinarily see. Atty. flen. Palmer made his rorjuest for other legislation than the Lver act under which to punish profiteers nlrrfost a year a:o. Suppose he was too circumspect in his interpretations? of that law! Would it have hurt congress any, and wouldn't It have been bett r for the people, if th wanted remedial legislation had been taken up and passed? What harm could it have deme? It might have interfered, perhaps, with some of the profiteers contributing so heavily as they now are doinsr. to tho campaign funds of tho senator's party, but that is all. It ha-s 1een worth it; this year of respite worth it to the profiteers financially, and to the republican party in torment and unrest for the people, perhaps, rolitically. However, with these decisions of the courts storing congress in the face, maybe if they can be k-pt before th people, wo will eventually get some sort e.f e onressional at tion other than investigations that niisht bettrr be termed conversations. There are a nut!iir of senators ami nn-mbers of the low-i-hou.s- pupils of the Capper school of de mau gvu ry. who would perhaps lik: to bo relooted. They like their jobs. Itememb r that if they retain them, it is by th w ill ef th" P"or le. How would it le if, from now em, the constituents of every senator and representative bombarded him with letters to the effect that his re-election depended upon his making some definite move toward the solution of those vexd problems? The gen'ral te-ndency is to believe that the control of the vote lies in tho hands of wealth. Put it lot s not; it lies in the hands of the modest majority. available when it dares to use it. If tho majority of a legislator's constituents demand that ho pre.tluce tho goods, he will have to get busy and preuluco them. If he docs not. and in spite- of this Ia re-elected, his re-election should ho upon the people's heads they have allowed themselves te le heuMlwin'ced iy a faker. Up and at 'em? Our law-makers are being paid fcr something that they are not doing. Sen. Cai -per along v.dth the r'st. n

READ THE DICTIONARY. Have ou read your dictionary lately? An.Knglish clergyman who had desisted from buying books durint: the war turned to his own book-shelves and was astonished at the wealth of reading ho found there. Amor. olhef books p-iusoil was tho dictionary, and he has ihis to say of it: "The richness of my dictionary almost overwhelm d me. !:ally, a good dictionary is reading for a lifetime. What surprises it holds! What hundreds of wrrds you don't know; wnat hundreds you cannot spell! How you grow inf.o tho intimacies of speech! What relationships pprin.g about you! When your dictionary begins to live, you almost feel language in the making. I think for a few weeks of delicate browsing. I shall pasture on my dictionary alone." For all Its gentle humor, there Is a valuable suggestion here. Too few persons are familiar with the dictionary. Many a vocabulary is limited to a few tdoriess words which might glow with forceful exrression after a few days "browsing" in this fertile held. Even the onrushing torrent of slang, which has well-nigh engulfed the country, and is steadily gaining in power abroad, might be stemmed, not tJ say damped, by a growing familiarity with that ancient and honorable authority on words. (Jood spelling misht become a usual thing, though ,v;is is of course an extremely ortiinistic thought. If one lacks the courage to begin upon the vasty treasures of the "Unabridged," there are convenient little pocket dictionaries, rich in unguessed treasures whi'e for those already erudite and learned the en-e-yelopedias offer unlimited adventures in ancient and modern words and quaint expressions.

Other Editors Than Ours

ikish coNrirrn. ( Detroit Saturday Nislit.) Ioyd Georcr- received a bad jolt the other day. Members of the American house of representatives, in number SS. sent him a cablegram accusing him of all sorts of evil doings in his handling of the Irish question and specifically charging him with violation of the provision of the United States constitution which declares that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty. r property without due process of law." This is pretty serious business. We have accorded the premier a rather free hand in the past, allowing him a larce amount of discretion in th- forr.iulatir.s of his policies. Rut when he starts wantonly disregarding our own federal law. it is h:h time to call a halt. If the Welshman persists in this mad ourse. something must be don-, but it is difücult to see just what. Perhaps the department of justice will organise a raid on Powring si. and escort him to Ellis Island, where he may remain until his deportation warrant is cancelled by As.d. Sec'y of Iibor Post. Or, if ho ventufs on the high seas, we might have him towed into port and adjudged a prize la the nearest admiralty ?oi:rt. H is not for us to suggest, however; we have comrleto conridor.ee that the nobb will be able to think up something sut!iiintly x'otdlsh. They have made a pretty fair start by rt-fus.ng to recognize the irish questions as a domestic affair of Great Britain's and making it a domestic a.V ! " of America's. Just what kirn! of statesmanship means in terms of i ' ,i us controversy in this country may he read in the resolution of the Mthodisi Kp;.-eeptl general conference, repr scnting one of the largest bo!i- 5 of lrotcstanti.-ni. in opposition to any r-eo-r-ültJon of the IrUh republic, for which many ' rish-A in, ncan Catholics arc working.

chronicles as the original Hannah, the etymological way was being paved for the entrance of Anita through the gateway of Spain. Pyzantium, that kingdom of royal splendor, paid homage to a St. Anne who is thought to be a Hare-back to the great Roman deity, Anna Perrennia, goddess of the circling year. Greek damesels soon made it their favorite name. The daughter of Emperor Basil, calling herself Anna, married the Grand Prince of Muscovy and carried the name into Russia, where it was subjected to the Slavic influence and issued forth in various forms of diminutives and endearments, one being the pretty A mar. which still has vogaie there. The susceptibility of the name to the influence of all tongues probably brought it to the attention of soft-syllabled Spain, who adopted it. cut off the "r" and changed the "m" and "n" for euphony's sake, making the charming Ana. "which has great popularity there. Put Spain no sooner adopts a name than it must have a diminutive, after the latin fashion hence Anita. Italy took Anita and called her Ninetta. which was later subjected to a diminutive process and issued forth as Nanna.

TI'IISDAV. MAY 11. The stellar testimonies point to an active and eventful day, but do not give promise of any notable success. The mind will be particularly alert, keen and sagacious, the judgment will be good, but somehow things may not move as they should. The astrological explanation is found in the square of the luminaries, an adverse influence strengthened by the parallel betw ee n S iturn and Mercury, wielding a del lying, obstructing and disappointing force. Those in employment are especially warned to refrain from aught that would put their positions in jeopardy. Those whose birthday it is may expect a lively and interesting year, but not one of much progress. A child born on this day will be clever, original in its ideas and have a fine, studious mind, but will not make the liest of these endowments unless it applies itself.
