Legislative House-cIeaning Needed.

While the war is on and there is a
mll in business. we want all legisla-
tive bodies. TO take an inventory OF
the statute books and wipe off all
eXtravagamt and useless laws A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of INDECENT
children. rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from respondent homes
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros
perity OF the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothc the world
If any of these industries have sur
plus employees we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule of wages but we pay good
farm hands on an average of 81 so
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves work usually runs
about nine months of the year aud the
three months dead time. they can do
the chores for their board. II they
prefer 10 farm on their own account.
there are more than $4,000 100000
acres Of idle land on the earth's sur
face awaiting the magic touch of the
pillow. The compensation is easily OBJ
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. Tho total
average annual sales of a farm in
the continental United States amounts
TO $4,000: the cost of operation is
$4,000: leaving the farmer SIG per
annum to live on and educate his
family
There is no occasion for the legis
latures making a position for surplus
employees Of industry. Let them come
back to the soil and share with US
The prosperity of the farm.

American commerce. a copy of which
was delivered at the White House af,
ter the Presidents return from Indi-
annapolis last night.
The President refrained from COM
ment on the note in advance Of its
publication. a course which has been
followed by Secretary Bryan and other
oficials. Plans have been made for the
simultaneous publication of the British
reply In this country and England to-
morrow morning. Meanwhile copies OF
the reply have been furnished by the
state Department to diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of neutral governments In
Washington
Secretary Bryan has received assIr-
ances OF sympathetic interest Of neu-
trails In the contest this Government
has undertaken with Great Britain. II
Is reco2nized that the interest of all
neutral nations in these negotiations
Is mutual. Thus far. however. the mat

The British embassy has issued q
statement pointing out a meanS of re-
lieving the rubber famine in tho United
States by permitting American manu-
factuSers to obtain supplies from Eng

This action Is taken as an indication
Of q disposition on the part OF Great
Britain to improve trade conditions. Al
the same time. however, the British en-
bassy issued warning that the modifica-
tions on the embargo of Australian wool
will be Withdrawn unless American
merchants end the present practice OF

Congressman Apparently Not
Impressed by Arguments at

That the House Committee on Inter.
state and Foreign Commerce is at present
opposed to favorable report on tiis
Stevens prlce-nxins bill are the indica.
tons today. When the committee
closed its initial hearing n the bill al
a late hour yesterday. after a session
lasting. with q brief recess for lunch
from 1880 a. m. to $50 p. m. the ma.
jority Of the committee members still
appeared unconvinced that 1t would be
wise TO allow the manufacturer to die.
tate the ultimate price Of his product.
The bill. according to Louis d.
Brandeis. is plainly intended to meet q
situation caused by the Supreme Court
decision that price-fixing contracts are
in restraint Of trade. The issue has
twice been before the highest court
once In tho DR.. Miles remedy case and
the other when Washington druggist
y. ]. O'Donnell, won his contention that
he was not Obliged to sell a certain
patent medicine at the price stipulated
by tho maker Of the medicine.
