Where Team Work Is Needed.

The Secretary OF State, as the first member of
the Cabinet, not to use the European title
"prcmier." is looked upon as the spokesman OF
the administration. Mr.. Bryan has been re-
gardcd, not only because he is Secretary OF State,
but also because he is the Warwick who made
possible the nomination of President Wilson. Mr..
BRYAN gives a good deal OF time to public ad-
dresses in different parts OF the country and in
these he is supposed to speak for the administra-
tion
With so many complicated questions be-
lore the government and so much confusion in
the public mind as to the attitude of the admin
istration Mr.. Bryan could be Of inestimablc
service to the President by explaining these qucs-
tions and clearing the atmosphere. But we hear
little from the Secretary OF State regarding
American interests in Mexico, complications in
Europe under present conditions how we are to
maintain strict neutrality and at the same time
protect our foreign trade. the domestic we'll
as the foreign policies of the government to
wipe out the deficit in the Treasury, restore con-
fdcncc in business circles start the wheels and
furnaces in the factories, renew the weekly wage
distribution and discharge the men who form the
bread lines in great cities. We hear little
from Mr.. Bryan these questions, and it is
largely left to the President to sound optimistic
notes as to the future.
Several weeks ago IrCSlQcn wilson went 10
indianapolis and in his speech dwclt upon the
necessity for team work in politics in business.
There is an urgent appeal for team work in Con-
gress just now, and the appeal seems to fall on
deaf cars Mr. Bryan has been in Indianapolis
for two days, making speeches to Democrats. In
his address to the Democratic editors of Indiana,
so far as tho press report shows, Mr.. Bryan dis
cu>scd prohibition and women suffrage two ques
tions that have recently been discussed and voted
upon in Congress and defeated with the Prcsi-
dent helping to those defeats. The Democratic
cditors as the organs OF the administration, evil
IDENTIFY desired Mr.. Bryan to give them inspira-
ton ior the next campaign to which all Democrats
arc looking forward with anxiety. They are doing
the best they can to defend the administration and
its policies. and also their Senators and Represent
atiycs in Congress. But Mr.. Bryan chose to in
spirc them with bcautfe theories of prohibition
and equal suffrage, against which every Demo
cratic Representative from Indiana voted only
few weeks ago. That address must have left the
Democratic editors OF Indiana in quandary as to
what is simon pure Democracy, and who speaks
for the Democratic President and the Democratic
Congress. Are they to go defending President
Wilson and the thirteen Democrats in Congress
who voted against the Hobson resolution, or are
they to about face and take up the banners which
Mr.. Bryan has so eloquently presented to them as
the only true emblems of the Democratic party
President Wilson desires team work in Congress-
Has he real team work in his Cabinet?

their product at price below what they COM
PEELED to spend for labor and material, in other
words that the baking industry should be changed
from a mercantile enterprise to charity institu-
ton
There be no disputing the deplorable cir
cumstance of the increased cost of the staff of life
brought about by the European war. 1t is a hard
ship that falls heavily upon the poor. but by no
process of reason can the justice of placing the
entire burden the baker be shown. The fact
that in the past his business has been profitable is
no argument why he should now be called upon
to bankrupt himself by distributing the profits
which his industry has yielded heretofore. 1t is
not contended that the past profits of the baker
were enormous or ill-gotten; otherwise there
might be merit in the proposition that he now be
compelled to make restitution. The man engaged
in any industry has right, to reasonable profit
If he is unable to make it, he is likely to change
his occupation The high cost OF wheat and
flour does not impose upon the baker the duty of
maintaining the bread line. Charity is the work
of all of us.

"Bacchante," the Macmonnes creation who
failed to become acclimated in Boston on account
of her lack of raiment and was lodging in the
more genial atmosphere of the New York Metro-
politan Museum, is going to make another at
tempt to withstand the east wind and various
other malefc influences which peculiar to the
New England region. Late in the summer of 1914,
Joseph Knowles, resident of Boston, divested
himself of all his clothing and entered the Maine
woods, with the avowed intention of returning
absolutely to nature for period of month. The
fact that he actually accomplished the feat should
encourage "Bacchante" to persevere in her second
attempt to endure the frigidity of the Boston
guardians of the public morals.

Pastes for Sandwiches.

Remember the sandwich pastes when
you are planning to make sandwiches. a
pot or tube of some sort OF paste can be
kept on hand always. and so the task of
making dainty sandwiches at short notice
TO serve with the cup OF afternoon tea
becomes easy. These pastes come in
many flavors.
A sizeabIe tube can be bought for about
. cents. and a little pot. containing an
ounce Of the paste, costs about the same
price. Sardine. anchovy, salmon and
even such substantial pastes as beef
steak and other meat fiavors. are made.

A HINT 10 BORROWERS.

If so you like to borrow trouble
know way to profit double:
Go out upon the highway chill
And stop some chap that's really i'll,
And borrow his to ease your lack,
And then forget to pay it back.
Thus will you add to your supply,
And free him of anxiety;
And stead of fancied woe you'll get
A stock of genuine regret
And surely if you're in that line
You want your hoardings genuine:

Not the Bakers DUTY.

OF all that has been said and written concern
ing the sensational advance in the price of wheat
the seriously made suggestion that the bakers
ought to be not only willing but glad to conduct
their business at financial loss to avoid the
sity of increasing the price of bread, is the most
illogical and unjust The theory has been solemnly
advanced that because the baking business in the
past has been a profitable one, the men engaged in
this industry should now be called upon to sell

The protest was echoed and rc-cchoed through
out the States. 1t threatened to destroy the new
work 1t terrified the leaders. They fought des-
pcrately against it; but they were beaten. 1t was
decided that each State should go back to the
old way and punish prisoners they should be
punished. As the old prisons had been turned into
factories or torn down, plans made for the
building of new prisons, with small cells and iron
gratings, rising tier tier.
But just these plans were about to be put
into operation OF the leaders among the re-
dictionaries made a distressing discovery. The
change would result in enormous expense TO the
States. Instead of profit at the end of each year,
there would be loss.
The leader communicated his discovery to his
associates. They were appalled,. They them
selves ruined. They wondered what could be
done. In their plight they made study of the
whole situation They found that the prison
system was not really prison system at all 1t
was society living in the right way. The prison
crs of the world consisted of the members OF So
ccty, shut up in their prejudiccs. Each of the
new communities, instead of being the foe of So
cety, was the friend that could lead out of
their cells into the free world.
