Not AnkleS-MugS.
(NeW York Sun).

Speaking of anti-ankles legislation, why do not some of the Solons who are exerting their bread and copious intellects in the great field of reefed petticoat statesmanship devote lit tie attention to the far more pressing question of mugs-the awful, the in- decent exposure Of mugs, the orgy of mug horrors into which this Whjs- kerless age has plunged us?
 Cover up the mugs, screen them, get them out of sight! You do not have to look at ankles if you are firm. Mugs you do have to look at. They stare you in the face every where out of your own mirror as likely as not. They are all about you in the streets, in public vehicles, in hotel obbies-everywhere. And such mugs! Raw beef mugs, catfish, mugs, squirrel teeth mugs, globular mugs, lantern jawed mugs, bulldog mugs, rat terrier mugs, pOrcine mugs, chinless mugs, simian mugs, preparations mugs, bejowled mugs-a walking, rocking nightmare of mug atrocities. And all because in some quarter of hirsute impotence there was inaugu-
 
 anti-whiskers campaign!
 That the case against whiskers was strong there is no denying. By their own fantastic excesses whiskers were vulnerable. Pefferian populists, poo dle dog pinks, lealy lilacs, paint brushes, agricultural billy goats, al- falfa jungles, excelsior spinches, soup strainer and walrus mustaches, New gate frills, Galway uggers-beyond question a face foliage debauch
 An anti-whiskers reaction was due and 1t came. The whole whisker crop was moved down and swept out. And then emerged the mugs. Just as they are, without one plea, they stood re- vealed, and in entire candor 1t may be asked if we do not owe whiskers an apology for abuse and ridicule when we shudderingly contemplate what they so long covered up and saved us from eholding. Surely we do not want another whiskers spree, but by the same token we have had enough of whiskers prohibition 4 moderate and temperate use of WhiJs- l<ers; that is the demand. Get the mugs behind a screen: that is the slogan

What Makes the Freight.
tNew York Press. )

Going into a strange city, the vis- ltor IS often tempted to wonder what all these people do; who live Ill these houses; what contribution do they make to the social and busi- ness actlVltles of the cOuntry.'
 LlkeWlSe' observing the teeming tfaInc or the railroads in such time as the present. there is always dis poSllon to marvel and to wonder what 1t is that requires to be moving in such vast quantities.
 Recently the department of agri- culture has been doing something toward answering both these ques- tions. It has been publishing statis- tics of movements of certain crops, which suggest the immensitv of movements of articles hardly consid- cred in casual contemplation of freights. Here are some figures, for instance, on the movement of straw berries this season; strawberries, in thousands upon thousands of solid carloads, miles upon miles of trains of them:
 Ninety-five cars have been loaded at Missouri points. The prospects are for an unusually heavy crop.
 Six hundred and thirteen cars moved from the Carolinas.
 One thousand three hundred and ffty-seVen carloads moved from west Tennessee. Heavy rains are bringing the shipping season to an abrupt close.
 East Tennessee reported 279 cars to date with short crop in prospect

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
Is a Senator a Pope?
(LOuisville Courier-Journal.) ]

A more fragrant example of Senate mightiness than the treatment of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral Blakeslee on Saturday could hardly be imagined. This came on the heels of the refusal of that body to confirm the appointment of George Rublee as Federal Trade Commis- sioner because he was personally ob- nOXious' to Senator Gallinger-that is he had opposed the Senator polit- ically.
 MT. Blakeslee decided that the sen- ate committee on the post office and post roads had yielded to the railroads over the public interest in revising the government pay system for car- rying mails. Honestly if not wisely he wrote letters to many pOstmasters urging them to stir up trouble for that committee. He was hailed before committee for reinstatement, Varda- man, of Mississippi, and HardWicl1, of Georgia, prepared to excoriate the bureau chief and send him cIinging to his office, full of apologies and fearful of his job.
 But MT. Blakeslee surprised them He stood by his colors. He defended bis actions resentfully. He did not cringe. He asked them if he had no rights as a citizen any longer and whether it was a criminal offense to call into question the Judgment of United States senators. Howls of outraged authority burst from Varda- man and Hardwick. MT. BlakesIee was informed that he had insulted the great senate of the United States and would be punished. Even this did not scare the Wilson democrat from Pennsylvania. His last remark was this:
 United States and would be punished. Even this did not scare the Wilson Democrat from Pennsylvania His last remark was this:
 Am I a monkey that I have no rights as a citizen at all when I come to Washington? Did I go around se- cretly button-holing and winning and dining senators? I acted openely and solely because r thought it was my duty to do so."
 The United States senate had best come to itself and remember. that 1t IS a servant of the people and it's actions debatable by anyone. It had best realize that it is not a monarchi- cal privy council nor a legislative star chamber. It had best cease the rejection of appOintees to office be. cause they have not chosen to vote for one of it's self-loving members
 Of course, had MT. Blakeslee been a powerful constituent of either Var daman or Hardwick they would have whined instead of beloved chided instead of flayed. But their own con- stituents will remember and see to it that the senate does not fancy it. self an assembly of 96 political popes infallible and with all temporal and spiritual power.

"A1arnlingly Apparent"
(BOStOn POSt.)

According to the faithful George Won L. Meyer. now enrolled as a Taft republican, in the service of the coloners boom for that third cup Of coffee, MT. Roosevelt first discerned that weakness of our foreign policy, now so humiliatingly and alarming ly apparent"
 Since the presidents foreign pol icy is in no sense humi1iating and alarming to the vast body of Ameri- can citizens, we presume MT. Meyer must mean that it is humiliating and alarming to the Von Tirpltz crowd of submarine murderers who have had to see their kind of campaign brought to an end by the power of Woodrow Wilson's diplomacy.

3. MCmlli. AN 1ee-2o1-2os MAIN STREET.

18O carloads, in addition to liberal boat shipments, have been moved.
 Delaware shipped 1,374 cars in 1914 and 1,469 in 1915.
 A large number of estimates indi- cate that shipments will be possibly twenty-five per cent. heavier than last wear. The movement will begin about June 1.
 Maryland reports received indicate that carload movement began May 25.
 Indications at present point to an increase of about fifty per cent. over last years movement, which was 15G cars, from Bowling Green, Ky.
 A few days ago the movements were from the Gulf states, which sent even more impressive shipments than those indicated by the foregoing bull letin Twenty thousand carloads of strawberries moved Tn one season is probably a modest estimate; which lakes no account of the less than carload lots.
 Small wonder that the railroads are under pressure when so incidental a comm modity is demanding not only ser vice, but prompt, fast, unerring ser vice, less the commodity perish in transit.

 GETS FIRST CHECK
Roosevelt and Hughes Followers Force
 Hearings of Contests by Full
Board.

Chicago, June 2--Political support CTS of Roosevelt and Hughes were 1u- bilant at Chicago last night over de- feat of attempts by certain members of republican national committee to have the contests over delegates heard by sub committees, instead of by the full committee, which has always de- cided these disputes. When Chairman c. D. Hilles, suggested that sub-corn~ nittees be named to go over the docu
 ments in the contests, so that the full
 committee would not waste time con sidering trivial disputes, the Rooso- welt and Hughes supporters scented a possible plot to have the contests con- sidered in secret sessions and they vigorously protested. Senator Reed Shoot national committeeman from Utah, g Hughes supporter, led the fight against the plan and succeeded in having the motion voted down. Roosevelt and Hughes forces in tho committee joined hands to defeat the plan and claimed an important vic- tory in first scrimmage with organ ization. Chairman Hilles and man. agers of the "favorite son" candidates profesed to see no significance in the action and insisted that the only pur- pose Of the appointment of sub-con- rnittees was to expedite the hearings

''We Have With Us Tonight. :"
Cleveland Plain Dea1er.)


 Campaign times brings to promi- hence one nuisance which, though thriving in all seasons, becomes par ticularly malignant when the coun- try is filled with speechmakers and the populace gathers in assemblies to hear party leaders tell how the na- tion is to be redeemed. The nuisance came into early prominence last week at Charlotte. N. C.. where the president of the United States made an address.
 He is the man who introduces the speaker of the day. With studied pomposity he wastes the time of an audience gathered to hear some one else. Tn the Charlotte case the nuisance was even smore fragrant than usual because the man with the undesired speech was merely chosen to introduce the man who was to in troduce the president. He was a To- cal dignitary once removed.
 There is probably no help for 1t. Cries of Sit down." did not avail at Charlotte. And the average audi ence is too kind-hearted to apply such rude means to eliminate even so malicious a nuisance. The ideal presiding officer ordinarily is one who says least, but few can withstand the l temptation to blow their own horn when it is some one else's horn the 1 crowd came to hear.
 Some day, perhaps, high schools Will offer a course in introductory speechmal<ing, wherein will be taught the horrors inflicted upon @ suffering pupnc by lOquacious presiding off cerS. It has long been overdue.

Good Rules for Farm Buying.

When buying a farm remem Der that farming is as much of a busi- ness as making bricks is, and inves- tigate as closely as if you were about to buy a business. If you satisfy the following six essential rules, you cannot go far wrong:
 1. Be perfectly certain that your neighbors are congenial, for farming in an uncongenial neighborhood is impossible.
 ? Locate near q school and a church-you can get labor easier even if you do not use them yourself.
 8. Be sure the country is health ful-and the water pure.

THE UNIVERSAL BAND.

Those patriotic members of what American band but which from henceforth will travel under the single term, Universal, have blazed a way for others to follow. The changing of a name, while 1t may
 seem a simple expedient is, on the
 contrary, one of great moment. The
 best illustra ton is that of a wedding
 ceremony When a young woman
 gives her heart and hand to the man
 she loves she there and then as-
 sumes his surname. From that
 is performed, she casts aside her
 former family connections and the
 name that designated them, and
 goes forth under a new banner. So
 it is with one who leaves another
 nation and comes to these shores.
 The old love is left behind, the new
 love Is supreme. It is in every sense
 a wedding. Those who leave the Old
 World for the New World must, just
 as in the case of the bride, drop the
 name of the old country if they are
 to live in the new. And that, in the
 same extent and fashion as does the
 bride. Because a woman becomes
 known under another name IS no
 reason why she must forsake all who
 tn hny
 wedding day. As rule, this never
 happens; but what does take place is that a greater love is enkindled for her new attachment, for the one with whom she is to spend the remainder Of her days. And so it must be with those who come from Poland, or Ireland, or England, or Iceland, or any other land. The branding of these people with a stamp of foreign is only another way of | setting up caste and class in this | a land that is built upon a far different idea. If such things were allowed to go on indefinitely America would soon become another Europe with the people from the various places abroad gathered to- ether in their own sections and with he same racial antiquities spread here that are wrecking Europe to- jay. In America, all must be Americans. If not Americans, then foreigners merely sojourning here. President Wilson in his Memorial Day address aptly said: America must come first in every purpose we and every man must ount upon being cast out of our cast out even of our tol- ,rance, who does not submit to that great ruling principle.' This is the great camping ground for the brotherhood of man, where all are welcome, where the people of the far ,orners of the earth meet under the me great flag, under the one name,- American. Because of the example | ct, may the Universal band play it's oay through to the end of time, Cunding the great trumpets that breathe of libery the mighty tones of reedom, the harmony of Ameri- ,anism.
