so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve
them almost instantly by a simple appli-
cation of Sloan's Liniment on the back
and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheu-
matisn. and yields perfectly to Sloan's,
which penetrates quickly all in through
the sore, tender muscle, limbers up the
back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle
of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any

colds, sore and swollen joints, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, ~sciatica and like ailments.
Your money back if not satisfied, but il

THE SATURDAY HOLIDAY.

A four-hour Saturday in the summer
season, from June Is to September Is, is
assured Federal employees by an order
recently signed by President Wilson.
This establishes in government Offices,
for the present year at least. the Satur-
day half holiday for which social workers
have been contending.
Churchmen, who view with alarm the
growing tendency TO make of Sunday a
holiday for pleasure rather than a day of
religious observance. have favored the
Saturday half,holiday. in the hope that it
would remove the excuse of laboring peo-
pie that Sunday is their only chance for
recreation and amusement.
However. in number of European
countries where the Saturday half-holI-
day is the rule II fails to have the de-
sired effect on Sunday .observances. The
continental Sabbath is notoriously a day
given over to the gayest of pleasures.
This great and prosperous country
might continue to prosper II its workers
labored but five and a half days in each
week, but conditions OF competition make
1t Impractical for one employer to estab-
lish the rule unless his rivals make SIM
liar concessions
President Wilson'S order may be fol-
lowed by private business concerns and
hasten the arrival of the Saturday half
holiday In America. But that this will
increase religious fervency is too much
to expect. Piety seems to flourish with
poverty.-Sioux City Tribune.
The Washington herald., 1914-06-20
Old Men in the Postoffice.

Nothing could be heartless than the whole
sale dismissa of old in the city postoce. Years
OF faithful and honest service forgotten and
who cannot hope to get employment at their advanced
age being turned ruthessy out into the world to
be dependent upon charity. .-
There have been too many of these cases. but one
which occurred this week is especially deplorabIe.
letter carrier, who has given than thirty
of his life to the public service for meager salary
and whose compensation had been reduced by the
present administration to $780, has been notified
that he is be dismissed 1t is true that he is over
seventy, but he is by means incapable of indoor
work, inasmuch as he walks to and from the post
Office to his home every day. No consideration how
ever is shown him. His future is matter of supreme
indifference With eallous disregard of equity, he is
turned out by Official action, although it would seem
if he might be retained during the brief period of
his remaining span of life ..-.-...
Perhaps the time viii come when the government
will recognize the long and arduous work of the
letter carriers; but in the meantime it is curious
state of the official mind which rewards these many
years Of faithful service with abrupt dismissal.
The Washington herald., 1914-06-20
Nations Favored Guests.

Congress makes some peculiar distinctions in the
resolutions it adopts which not easily explained
to either the American people to foreigners. One
resolution authorizes the President to invite foreign
nations participate in national celebration of the
flag anniversary and another authorizes him to extend
an invitation to other nations to participate in an
international congress education. Both these
resolutions have the provso that the attendance of
delegates to whom invitation may be extended, shall
be at expense to the United States government.
There is nothing peculiar or Objectionable in this
proviso. II has been the usual form throughout the
history of the government.
The Senate, however. created precedent on Tues
day when it adopted an amendment to the diplomatic
BILL authorizing the Secretary of State to extend an
invitation the other nations send delegates
the International Congress Against Alcoholism and
appropriang $4,000 to defrsy the expenses of that
congress. 1t explained in the debate that part
of this appropriation would be used give banquets
of character that will be suitable to convention
of this character" go.
Some people may ask if congress against alco
holism is appropriate for entertainment at the
nations expense than a celebration appropriate to
the American flag, international congress on
education, but the Senate would resent such sug-
gestion as applicable TO its peculiar action.
The explanation is doubt that the people who
want to have other nations come here to
devotion to the flag. would not place such celebra
tion selfish or financial basis. They would not
ask appropriation for honoring the flag. would
the international congress education ask for an
appropriation for all the world is interested in
education.
The promoters of the International Congress
Against Alcoholism are different from those who want
honor the flag, and those who to promote edit
cation and the difference illustrated in the 1egisla-
tion enacted. That would seem to cover the story.
But what will be 'banquets appropriate to the
character of such convention?" A lot of grape
juice can be purchased for $4,000
The Washington herald., 1914-06-20

1t hardly be that the President would deny
the right of men having interests and opinions Of
their to try to bring influence to bear legitmately
upon Congress. And if they do it in a concerted way
where is the ofense' The thing is. in fact, being
done every year by all sorts and conditions of Amer
ican citizens. Can business have conspired any
more openly to get something from Congress than the
labor union men have done? If the latter have been
rebuked for their planned and united and successful
activity the newspapers have failed to record the fact
We profess TO be governed by public opinion. Are
we, then TO resent it when one particular form of
opinion nanifests itself? 1t may be perverse it may
be outweighed and properly disregarded; but it is
certainly entitled to expression If the President had
shoals of letters from merchants and heads of cor
poratonS, asserting that they could not have clear
field until the uncertainties of the Sherman act
were removed by the pending bills would he not
welcome them and let the Washington correspondents
know about them? 1t really not possible for pub
lie to class citizens sheep goats according
as they support oppose his policies. If they ex-
press their views at all have take them they
come and not attempt to sort out patches Of patriots
over against sinister groups of consprators.-New
York Evening Post.
