CONFUSION.

Colonel House who returned from abroad at a psychological time sure ly did not see any moro disorder in European capitals than he will wit ness when he steps foot in Washing- ton today. There he has the spectacle of Congress suddenly turned into disord erly mob, of d former Secretary of. State lobbying to weaken the PreSi- dent of the United States of all the clements that went to make the wild scenes attendant at the Tower of Babel. For modern day confusion the present members of the House present the sorriest spectacle in ages Some are against the President for personal reasons; some are piqucd be- cause they have not the handling of the foreign relations; some are i9nOr- ant of constitutional law; some do not know their own limitations; some arc well meaning but mislead: some are unloyal and unpatriotic; some arc playing partisan party politics; some are for peace at any price; some arc possessed of other motives, and so it goes. Colonel House comes back with the observation that reports of an unfavorablc attitude by the pco- pie of Europe toward the United States arc cXa ggerated, and that
 we should remember that the people of the bclligcrent nations are living with their nerves on edge, and
 we should make allowances accord - ingly' What will he say after hay ing seen Washington? There arc lots of people living with their nerves on edge.

That Letter to Stone.
(New Haven Union.1

Even the anti-administration and pro-Wall street scoffers have been forced at times of late to take off their hats and cease their islanders against the president. The com mandins position of the nations chief drew this from the Boston News Bureau, a Wall street shecf
 "Of President Wilson's numerous contributions to our state papers, he may well be proudest Of the letter written by him to Senator Stone.
 Tt has its own intrinsic value, in sentiments and principles contained. It gives adequate definitions of what honor and patriotism are. what they are worth and what they now re- Quire.
 But the chief merit is given Lv the political contest It is acquired by foil and by contrasts. And these arc various Gore. McLemorc, Jones MondeIl and other resolutions. For these illustrate the direct absence of the qualities cited.
 And the final value resides in tho accurate reflection by the presiden- tial letter of what the bulk of the people inarticulately feel"
 This letter. as the union said the day it was published, is one of the greatest state papers, tho best thing since Lincoln. at least. It is splen- didly phrased and was q fine politi- cal stroke in behalf of lofty pa trio otism and national honor.

To Make Parcel Post More Useful
Bridgeport Farmer

The senate has caused the views of David Lubin, on d plan for direct dealings between producer and con- sumer, to be prcscnte q in q pampE- let which is issued from the govern mont printing office, and is enjoying a wide distribution. Mr. Luhin Was instrumental in organizinG tie Southern Commercial congress, which organized the American Commission that, cooperating with the United States Commission appointed by President Wilson, investigated fn- ance, production and distribution ;n European countries
 MT. Lubin, by d system of tags. and payment books would ring farmers into touch with consumers through the medium of the parcel post Each farmer is given a place in a small rack, where he daily registers, through the carrier on his route, what he has to sell, the grade ard the price. Housewives wishing to purchase, approach tho rack, select the farmer with whom they wish to deal. and give the order to the clerk, for which tho customer pays. These slips arc sent to tho farmer, by the carrier. and the goods are turned over to the carrier, for de- livery to the customer.
 Mr. Lubin's system was examined by a committee of the senate. and it was conceded that it would permit a vast amount of business to be transacted with little red tape, al- most no bookkeeping, and a small force of workers.
 The post office now attempts to bring producers and consumers to- gether, but the system is inadequate, does not permit the customer to know what the farmer has al any given moment and is almost unWork- able. As for instance. farmer no tifCs that he has eggs for sale, W hich during the succeeding week arc sold. so that he has none.
 Mr. Lubin's system lists what the farmer has on that day, ShoWS now much is sold and how much remains, and ought to work with great cer" tainty and eXactneSs.

A COMPARISON.

Apropos of the criticism of Senator klett's record by Sol Sontheimer, it is deserving of notice that no such criti- cism was ever offered of Senator George M. Landers, MT. Kletts predecessor. Mir. Sontheimer &C., cuses Senator klett of being hostile to legislation aimed to improve con- ditions for the laboring man. In this respect, MT. Landers' stewardship in the senate is without flaw. Although
 8 manufac cturer himself and having
 large interests in manufacturing
 plants, he was ever fair to the labor
 ing man, as his record shows. He
 was not only not hostile to the work
 ing class but he even went so far as
 to advocate the passage of wholesome
 laws to remedy defects in our social and economic life that are dctri- mental to the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. 1 Labor leaders never criticised Mir. Landers' work but frequently praised him for his fairness and broad spirit

Fayette county lost respected color
ed citizen last week when death came
to Manuel Person at his home near
Warren. He was nearly four score
years Of age and during slave times
was carriage driver Of the late J. @.
Shaw. After the war Manuel worked
hard and saved his means and at the
time of his death he owned good farm
lands in the Warren neighborhood, had
given his children an education that
made them leaders in their race in their
vicinity and several of them are good
citizens and entirely trustworthy. One
of his white friends in speaking of
Manuel Persons gave him a splendid
name for honesty and industry and said
that his word was as good as his bond.
The Falcon has had four requests from
as many different farmers in the
vicinity of Somerville in the past ten
days to call attention to the fact that
many acres of oats have been planted
and are now coming up and are subject
to the ravages Of stock which are yet
permitted to run at large by owners in
the surrounding territory. One farmer
said he would be forced to pen these
cattle unless they were taken up by the
owners at once. We made mention re-
Gently Of another farmer saying to US
that his wheat was being ruined by a
neighbours hogs, and the "stone in the
dark" hit more places than one, for
three different farmers came to US and
explained that while his hogs ha1 been
running at large the neighbours goats
were running at large, or in another
case the neighbours calves were feed

there is too much Of this turning stock

law and all stock are supposed to be

= To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because In the
strength Of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
