FREE SPEECH FOR POST
MASTERS.

The assistant postmaster of Win
netka, ILL.,, has come into fame be-
cause he expressed the opinion that
Pres't Wilson should not remarry so
soon. His immediate superior decided
that such remarks were reasonable.
and strange to say, the offender was
removed from the service. But he was
Immediately reinstated, by the direct
order Of the president.
OF course. there was nothing else
for the president TO do. 1t would in
dictate a peculiar idea of the dignity
and function of the executive office
for any president to punish a federal
employe for such trivial personality.
The right Of free speech is of infin-
itely more importance than the per-
sonal feelings of any public official.

United States AS Sec'y Tumulty

ton OF the white house. This is a

ployes.

No ALEIANCE FOR AMERICA

In Norman Angelrs new book. "The
Worlds Highway" he shows the fall
lacy Of the argument that the United
States could insure her own safety by
creating an army and navy sufficient
10 make her "the strongest power in
the world" For il no longer avails
10 be merely the strongest power
Nations now fight not as units, but as
groups. One power cannot depend
on its own strength, no matter how
great that strength is. because it is
always possible for other nations to
combine against it in greater power.
as the allies have combined against
Germany War has become inter-
nationalized. and the only means of
safety in any crisis lies in interna-
tional agreements for mutual defense.
The book says:
If. therefore. America intends
10 vindicate her rights-perhaps
even If she intends to secure her
safety on land-by military
means she, too. must do what
even the most powerful military
states OF the past have done:
enter into the game of military
alliances.
And yet. Mr.. Angel proceeds to
explain In the next breath. even that
method is OF little use TO US. Because.
for our purposes-the establishment
and enforcement OF international laws
and treaties-the alliances must be
permanent and "of the very Few
things that history teaches Us with
any certainty, one is that these MILF
tary alliances do not outlast the pres
sure Of war conditions. No interna-
tional settlement that has followed
the great wars ever settled or en-
dured."
Even II the common enemy is de
strOyed." he never stays destroyed

quering group OF nations makes itself

young men on our staff, aid even back
In the mechanical depar ment. who
have recently INDUCED in matrimony,
are Of a different sort than those re-
ferred to by a certain magazine
writer. maintaining that young men
shun marriage because counting is
too costly We would say for our
young men that mayhap. instead OF
stunning. they have embraced mat
rimony for that reason. Anyhow, we
have grown used 10 having it poured
into our ears, as an excuse, that two
can live as cheap as one, along with
the sentimental considerations, and.
Of course. this argument being ''un-
answerabIe" TO one who has never
tried it, the only thing TO do has beer
to say. eco ahead old man, we guess
-maybe-you' right"
But to return TO the magazine
writer:
OF all the extravaganccs OF the
present generation. there's certainly
none more conspicuous than the ex-
pensive entertainments which young
men feel obliged TO give their girl
friends. II doesn't matter whether
the young mans intentions are seri-
Gus or not he spends his money just
the same. Formerly there wasn't
much expected Of a man, even an en-
gagged man, except occasional flowers
or candy or books. But now such
things are the least of the impecuni-
Gus SWANS troubles Theaters and
luncheons and automobiles eat a hole
into the most comfortable income.
And the plumber or the ice man
falls for it" no less than his richer
brethren.
1t isn't necessarily, as some. disc
gruntled males insist, that girls are
more selfish and exacting than they
used TO be When an occasional girl
of economic instincts insists that a
man shall not 'blow in" his money
on her. she is likely to meet with
a rebuff. The young man himself
expects to spend his money on her;
to a certain GLASS of young man, the
class that sets the pace. that's what
money is for The standard has
changed. and young males are caught
in a system Of social obligation that
leads a man earning $40 a week 20
spend $40 entertaining a girl friend
for an evening without feeling that
he's done anything absurd-in fact,
doing it with a feeling of secret pride
that isn't wholly debated by his eat
ing 1O-cent lunches till pay day.
Whether such expenses really scare
men out OF matrimony is question.
Certainly they postpone matrimony
somewhat. because it takes so much
longer to save enough to start house
keeping. but on the other hand, "A
young man is likely to conclude that
II won't cost any more 10 support a
wife than 10 keep on good terms with
a girl, and we anticipate, that per-
haps. that is really what our young
men were driving at-rather than
that two can live as cheap as one"
No reflection on the girls. mind
you; il is all on the boys. Let them
now begin by turning their pay en-
velopes over TO the wives. If two can
live cheap as one" that is the best
way in the world TO prove it.

HOW A TOWN WAS REMADE.

II is a sad time in the life of an
American town when it stops speak
ing to itself And yet it often does.
There is nothing intentional about
il. Its people draw within their
shells, lose interest in one another,
do not visit, and grunt and nod when
they meet instead OF saying good
morning and bowing like human be-
ings. But it need not be. Recently
our American towns have had the
cleanup fever. and incidentally we
compliment our paint makers on
turning the i;iea into a business sue
cess by developing it into both a
paint-up and cleanup campaign. A
town reported to me did all this and
one better. II was a town that had
stopped speaking to itself. One
happy-minded citizen suggested that
cleanup and paint-up day be also
made cheer-up day. 1t took. Neigh
bors stopped grunting and spoke right
out. Men passed the time of day
and even joked. Women smiled and
said pleasant things to each other.
Children, of course, broke out in
small riots. Before evening came the
town found itself. Its eyes were
brighter. 1t went to bed with a
clearer conscience, slept more sound
ly than ever before and woke to a
new and brighter life. Blessed are
the cheerful! More valuable than
riches are good neighbors, But to
have good neighbors you must be a
good neighbor. Even in your home
there will be darkness unless you
turn on the light. So, smile--Wom-
ans World.

The Swan Song
of The Straw Hat

A careful census of straw hats TAX
en- on the main drag on last Saturday
afternoon revealed the fact that al
though September is well along, the
straw hat still holds forth in only
slightly dimmed glory. We're it not
for the fact that even to intimate
that wearing a straw hat when mo
one who is any one is wearing them,
you know" is rank heresy, we might
be tempted to say that our September
weather is ideal for straw hats. AS
it is, though, We will have to admit
that a greater proportion of the straw
lids appearing on our streets are
worn, not by we unsophisticated
country folk, but by the cosmopolitan
travelling man from the city who
thinks that we little towns, where
they do not know any better, are his
last chances to get few days extra
wear out of this years straw. A few
of the home guard are still decked
out with summer lids and will con-
tinue to wear them until the first
heavy storms. Nearly all OF the
straws are beginning to take on a
rich mellow yellow color as is mete
with the approach OF autumn. On the
day that the leaves begin to fall all
traces of straws will disappear COM
pletely, hopelessly battered, to be de-
stroyed, others, still serviceable, to
be put on the top shelf in the closet
in the always vain hope that the
styles will not change next summer.

Public Service, a magazine deyot-
ed to and circulated by public service
and lighting companies, contains
some queer statements in its Septem-
Der number. The magazine seems to
have quite a pick at Edward W.
Bemis, the municipal expert, and
points out that in addition to being
a member of the board of supervising
engineers of Chicago, he has a $780,
900 contract in Dallas, Texas, and
another big contract in Washington.
Public Service seems to think that
Bemis is altogether too busy. An
other peculiar comment is the one
on Seattle's municipal lighting plant.
Public Service complains that the Sc
attic municipal lighting plant is
charging Seattle too much for its
street lights, and points out that the
city made s111,562 profit on its
street lighting in 1914. This it re-
CARDS as monstrous.

THE CARLSBAD OF AMERICA.

(From Winfield, Kan, Courier)
About the neatest and most effect
i've piece of advertising matter the
Courier has received is little book
let from Ashland, Ore 1t is in the
form of water glass and shows a
gushing fountain with the words,
"The Carlsbad of America" This
enterprising city is said to be most
invitingly located in the foothills OF
the Siskiyou mountains not far from
the famous Crater Lake national
park, with a wonderful series OF
marble caves in the vicinity. Amid
such imposing scenery the city has
developed natural lithia springs with
an analysis equal to the waters of
the famous European springs.
Ashland is one of the most prom
inent cities in the country. People
in this country who have been going
to the old water resorts OF europe
have been forced by the war to look
elsewhere, and they are surprised to
find right in their own country wa
ters of greater value, with natural
scenery and climate far surprising
anything Europe has to offer. And
so Ashland Ore, is coming into its
own.

SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN.

The first day of school is one oi
the prettiest pictures Of the yearly
calendar. The long procession oi
kidlets. all washed and combed and
dolled up for the opening session, is
a pageant of youth and hope. The
youngsters can not for more than
one day be kept at this high water
mark of cleanliness.
They may growl and fret at having
TO resume their toll But not one
in ten would remain at home if given
the chance. AS a matter of fact,
the time hangs rather heavy on their
hands before the long vacation is
over.
1t takes an inventive child mind to
find a sufficient number of varieties
of play to fill a whole vacation. BY
September about all of the known
pastimes have been thoroughly tried
out and all possible JOY extracted.
Most children are willing to work at
school tasks if the proper incentives
are applied. They may not see the
inherent value of what they are do
ing. But they are accessible to the
motive of competition. The position
at the head OF the class will never
lose its allurement.
