The country is willing to pay for
better army and a better navy, re-
garding each as an indispensable in
vestment. What il complains of is the
sort Of imitation of expenditure OF
which the last Cong .ess was guilty
Is the waste of public funds in the
Improvement Of rivers and harbors
and for the benefit of small local in
terests and the planting of $4,000,
$4,000 and 100000 public buildings
in towns where such buildings are
fantastic luxury.
Enough could be saved on our pres
ent appropriations TO reorganize the
army and increase the feet Senator
Aldrichs dictum still holds good, for
if appropriations we're always made

whole and not for the benefit Of Judi
vidual politicians and individua. con-
stituencies-if az pork barrels were
cast into a fiery furnace Of real patri-
otism-not S30JO00.000 a year, but n
very large part of that sum could be
saved on our present outlay and then
dedicated TO our long neglected ma
tional defence.
The great failure of the Wilson ad-
ministration so far has been in its
countenancing OF proftless public OK
penditure and its indifference 10 that
mobilization OF our national resources
needed to give weight to our protests
against international lawlessness and
to double the value to civilization of
our firm championship of neutral

The Lazy Workmen's Law
(From the New York SUM-

While the war Department is try
ing to protect its force of expert
enced and skilled artisans in the
government arsenals and armorics
against the raids of private makers
of munitions, its task as a manu-
facturer is rendered doubly difficult
through the operation Of the lazy
workmen's law which Congress at its
last session wrote into the army ap-
preparation bill. This statute for the
protection of shirkers was presented
by Representative Deitrick of Mas
sachusetts, a statesman whose cleo
tion was brought aboAt by Mr..
Roosevelt's thirst for a third cup of
coffee, and who has now for his coun-
trys good been restored to private
life

A~ vice That is as true in the matter OF carrying
ne mails and the parcel post packages for the Federal
So'ernment as it is Of carrying barrel of apples or
ION OF sran for an individual That fact apparently
iosl sight Of by certain men who are prominent in
'ne Wilson administration They seem TO think that
ine railroads should submit to being proved mon in
the matter Of carrying the mails and that ordinary
business principles should be cast to the winds when
the question is being consideded
The Committee on Railway Mail Pay has made nuh
lie booklet entitled "what the Railway Mail Paw
Problem Means to the Railroads" The booklet con-
tains Information originally prepared for the use Of
the executive officers of all the railroads the coun-
try and submitted conference Of executives held
at New York City May 20, 1915
Copies OF the booklet have been sent to all members
Of Congress, officers of the National Administration
State and fedora, reguative commissions and many
other persons In public public life as well as
10 al daily newspapers and other publications The
purpose distributing this booklet 10 inform the
public as fully possible. concerning the fact on

which the railroads base their claim Of inequtable
treatment regarding the transportation of the United
States mails: also present fairly all essential in
formation necessary for clear understanding Of the
matter. from every point of view
In the booklet. the Committee Railway Mail Pay
discusses the proposed law. dealing with the system of
mail transportation which has been advocated by the
Post Office Department and introduced in the last
session of Congress This proposed law known the
Moon bill failed OF passage but the Postmaster-Gen-
eral has announced that he intends TO have it intro
duced again in the Congress and to bring every
effort TO bear to achieve its enactment
The Moon bill analysed in the booklet is shown
by the Committee on Railway Mail Pay to amount to
almost complete delegation Of the rate-making
power as far the transportation Of the mails is
cerned to the Postmaster General, who would be
vested under it's terms, with authority to make the
rates anything he might choose exceeding" GER
tain specified sums He could reduce the rates with
restriction and could also dictate in almost
respect character and extent Of service the rail-
roads would be required render The railroads would
be compelled to perform such service the Past
master General might demand, at such rates he
might choose pay, under penalty Of $1,000 per day
for each refusal
In the opinion Of the Committee Railway Mail Pay
forth in the booklet the defects Of the present
practice respecting the payment to the railroads for
carrying the mails best be remeded by providing
the following reforms:
l. mat the malS ne WelBneu, ana lne pay De re-
adjusted, at least year every railway mail
route instead Of in four years, at at present.
O. That the railroads be paid for the and oper-
alton of apartment post Office carsfor which the pres
ent law allows pay-on pro rata basis with the
compensation allowed for full railway post Office
cars.
3. That the railroads be paid for relieved from.
the duty Of carrying the mails between railroad sta
tons and post offices.
The booklet contains the resolutions unanimously
adopted at the meeting Of railroad executives in New
York City May 20, last at which 90 per cent OF the
mileage OF the country represented These resolu
tons completely sustained the position of the Commit
Railway Mail Pay, and indorsed the remedies It
has suggested
The resolutions also approved the suggestion Of the
Committee Railway Mail Pay that in its opinion the
ultimate solution of the railway mail pay problem
would lie in reference of the matter to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, with full power
In conclusion It may be said that the Moon bill is
tainted with unfairness in many of its features and
that if II pass II would place the railroads at
the mercy OF the PostmaserGeneral in the matter of
fixing mail-pay rates That is something that never
should be done no matter who may be the holder Of

WHAT is "VAMPIRE" ALLURE?
HERE'S THEDA BARA'S ANSWER

One of the most fascinating
and extraordinary stars produced
by the moving picture art is The
da Bara, the vampire woman
who has achieved fame almost
over night.
She created her first sensation
ON the legitimate stage In the
Theater Antoine, Paris, where her
sinuous beauty won instant rec
ognition.
She was induced to come to this
country by the Fox Film Corp,
and in "A Fool There Was"
The Clemenceau Case" and THE
kreutzner Sonata" has done nota-
BILE work. Artists rave over her
beautifully wicked eyes, whose
smolderine. baleful light has been
perpetuated by the famous por-
trait painter, Roland Montaigne
st. Cyr in his wonderful painting
which has proved the art thrill of
the day in New York, where IL
Is now on exhibition.

est work of her career, and in
addition wears some effectively
