How We get the News.

Day before yesterday perfectly
nice lady called us up and with tears
in her voice reproved US for not mem
tioning the fact that she had had a
friend visiting her last week. We
told her that she had not let us know
anything about it and that therefore,
we did not know that sne had a visit
or. Then she said, "Well you should
have known. ! thought you were
running a newspaper" Wouldn't
that rattle your Stats? Some people
think that an editor ought to be cross
between Argus and Anna Eva Fay.
They seem to think that our FIVE
senses are augmented by sixth that
let's US know everything that happens,
even if we see, hear, feel, taste or
smell it not. Dear lady, editors are
only human, or at least, almost hu-
man. If you have a friend visiting
you, if you'are going away, or have
returned from a visit out of town, If
Johnnie falls und breaks his arm, if
your husband chops his toe instead Of
stick of wood, if anything happens
that makes You glad, or sad, happy,
or mad, call us up. Tell us about it.
That's the way to get it in the paper.

Norwegians Want Prohibition
Rescinded.
(ohicago Journal.)

CHRIsTIANIA, November 4th.--The
Norwegian press is making an almost
unanimous appeal to rescind the
prohibition ordinance which was pass
cd In the first excitement Of the war
to stop the sale Of strong alcoholic
beverages.
Nominally so per cent Of the Nor
wegian people is represented in the
membership Of "Teetotal societies."
and next to Finland, Norway ordinar-
lily has the smallest per capita con-
sumption of alcohol in the world. 1t
is the working class who are most
largely represented in the "teetotal''
membership.
Among the poorer classes com
plant is made that the prohibition law
has created terrible conditions,
prompting the concoction Of such
weird drinks as "self-murdern the
name given to denaturalized alcohol

Burleson Praises Dockery.
tst. Louis Republic.)

WASHINGTON, D. o., December 18.-
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery, formerly Governor of Mis-
souri,, is strongly praised by Post
master Burleson in his annual report
to President Wilson.
Gov. Dockery, as the fiscal officer
Of the department., has complete
supervision over the finances. The
surplus during the year is largely cred
tied to his management. Mr.. Burle-
son says:
''It has been shown that the ex-
penses of the department now amount
to but little short Of 100000, 900.
While a large part of this sum is paid
from the receipts of Post Offices for
services performed there, it appears
that about one half is expended in the
form Of disbursements from the de-
partment and the designated disburs-
ing Post Offices throughout the coun-
try.
To collect and distribute this vast
amount Of money to meet the ex-
penses Of the department when and
where payable is task requiring
constantcare and watchfulness in orr
der that no embarrassment to the
service may ARISE.
Any defect in the system by which
these funds are collected and distri-
buted, or in the application Of it, can
have but one result, namely, the
necessity Of setting apart from the
general funds Of the Treasury vast
sum 90 working capital.
In the assignment Of the various
subjects Of postal administration al
those which pertain to the financial
operations Of the postal service are
delegated to the supervision of.sthe

mo Smoking in Kentucky

The Flying Squadron, which will soon
make whirlwind campaign through
the state OF Kentucky, will, it is
thought, take up the matter of
state wide law prohibiting the use of
tobacco in any form. At recent
annual meeting of the Kentucky Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union,
held in Winchester, Clark county,
strong resolutions we're passed by the
convention, opposing the use Of the
weed on the grounds Of morality and
the general benefit Of the people. The
Flying Squadron viii probably follow
this lead and 1t is likely that prohibi-
tion Of the nse Of both liquor and to-
bacco will be discussed and advocat-
ed. Many states have anti-cigarettte
laws practically all OF which are dead
letters as far as enforcement is con-
cerned-but no state has yet passed q
sweeping law against the use Of to-
bacco Ia any form. AS Kentucky is
one Of the great tobacco raising dis
tricts, 1t will be interesting to watch
the results Of en- attempt to prohibit
its use in that commonwealth.

Defining the Constitution.
lFrom the Boston Advertiser )

'
Senator Lodge, in private letter
that has been made public, gives his
reasons for opposing the proposed
prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States advo-
Gated by Congressman Hobson and
the Progressive Party Of Massachu-
setts. His logical arguments worthy
of the careful consideration of all
thinking men:
"The regulation or suppression of
the liquor traffic in any manner should
be dealt with by the local Authorities
by the states, counties and munich
palities. I believe that the interven-
tion of the United States by con-
stitutional amendment would lead to
others and to widespread violations
of law.
"The constitution was framed to
provide the mechanism necessary for
the operation of a central govern
ment and to embody in the -funda-
mental law those great principles up
on which free government must rest
and by which the rights of men are
protected. I think it would be very
great mistake and would produce very
bad results to attempt to convert il
| sv.to a a,.i ,oI or
"This tendency to put new legisla.
tion into the state and national con-
stitutions is one OF the dangerous
tendencies OF the present time. The
result would be to create a body Of
Legislation Of privileged character;
laws that could not be changed with
changing conditions. The ideal of q
republic, the one thing that's makes il
superior to all other forms Of govern
ment, fuidity and adaptability of laws
would be lost,
"On the simple question of pro
hibition there will be great differences
of opinion, even among those who dc
not believe in the use Of liquor. Bu
on the question Of making the funda
mental law Of this nation something
other than it has been for the las
century and quarter, there should
be no disagreement. Tampering will
the constitution is dangerous, both t
the republican form of government
and the liberties ofour people,"
