ANOTHER ICE FAMINE

Would that we could hear that plants
for the manufacture OF so-called artln-
cial ice were going up al through this
part Of the country, and that dozens OF
them would be ready for operation next
summer!
From present indications this is going
to be another open winter and already
we have been warned that another Ice
famine is more than possibility. one

been made useless by fast following
thaw and rise in the Hudson. and the
most tender hearted OF our trusts is again
confronted by the dismal, prospect OF i'm
crea sing its dividends and seeing It's Sc
curities go UP. For. though of course the
trust will ever sternly refuse TO advance
prices whatever may be the scarcity or
ice--Hudson ice, that is-the chances are
that II will somehow manage as before
to get all the ice anybody Will buy, and
that those ruthless and uncomfortable de-
livery men will once more insist on col
lecting from 20 cents to 81 n hundred from
their customers, despite all Mr.. Oler can
do to prevent them. (Some might declare
that SAY for publication" should be sub
stituted for do in that last statement,
but far, far be II from us to admit that
some are right)
Therefore we wish that we could hear
more of Preparations TO supply artificial
ice. To be frank, we hear nothing at all
about such preparations Which is queer.

In his latest message to the senate President
Roosevelt admits his order dishonorably discharg-
ing three companies of the Twenty-hfth infantry
from the service of the United States was too
sweeping in both purpose and effect This is
frank though tardy acknowledgement of a very
serious error.
The part of his order that debars the men dis
missed from employment in the civil service has
been revoked and they will therefore be eligible TO
service in capacities that have no connection
with the army or navy. The bar to their re-enst-
ment in either the military naval forces still
operates, however, and for maintaining it the
president claims he has full constitutional warrant
Thus while President Roosevelt has narrowed
the scope of his order he has not yielded an iota on
his original contention that the men deserved dis
missal and that his power to dismiss them is abso-
lutte under constitutional law.
The American people will recognize in a
proper way the partial rghtng of a wrong accom-
pished by the revelation OF part OF the order By
IT the members OF the three discharged companies
are restored TO privileges of which they should
never have been deprived except by the due and
orderly processes of law which the president failed
entirely TO invoke.
This latest pronouncement OF the president
does not affect the main issue raised in the senate
that the executives powers as commander chief
do not include the privilege of ignoring the articles
OF war and discharging soldiers in disgrace without
the undeniabc right OF trial by court-martia
Nor does IL affect the other question of the

materially reduce by executive order the strength

THE LANGUID GIRL IS
NO LONGER POPULAR

She's languid either by temperament
or by design. II IL Is the former there's
some excuse for her. II the latter, none.
And IL is generally the latter She's

The languid girl maintains an attitude
of studied indifference upon all occasions.
Everything Is such a bore" She moves
dreamily from place 10 place she answers
most questions in monosyllables, she re-
clines frequently, and her poses are care
fully considered. Men she makes into
slaves. They must play the undignifed
roles OF beasts OF burden and carry on
all the conversation as well. Do they
submit? Yes, providing that she's suffl-
ciently pretty, but even then they are apt
to get a little tired. That is where the
other girls get a chance--a sort OF COM
pensaton OF nature. The langusd girl Is
dying out as a type. BY curious irony
the times that created her have 10 a GER
tain extent made her impossible. These
are strenuous days, and TO men the hours
are precious.
They cannot afford, IL they want to
make money. to waste time lavishly. and
the languid girl is a terrible "waster" In
this respect. She expects-nay. demands
