the energy which can be spared from the other fronts is being thrown against Rumania, which country thus far appears to have been operating with slight, or at least ineffective as- sistance from any of the other na- tions. Russia has sent an army into the Dobrudja, but nothing in compar- ison with what it was alleged it had ready to strike at Bulgaria from that direction, but that a. larger campaign is planned in that quarter is promised by the announcement that Grand Duke Nicholas has been withdrawn from the Asia Minor front and assigned to the command of the Russo Rumania &C., tivities.
 Rumania has been pushed back not only in the Dobrudja but also in Pennsylvania and it has little to en- thuse over in ehe success which it has gained thus far. Whether this is due from lack of preparation or from the fact that it has been outgeneraled, it is having some of the experiences which others in the entente passed through in the earlier stages of the war.

PROPERLY PROTECTING THE
 PUBLIC.

Short weight is something which the consumer is frequently forced to accept without knowing the fact. It may result through too much con- fidence in the dealer or it may come from a failure upon the part of the purchaser to take the proper amount of interest to see that he is getting his moneys worth. There are even a large number of buyers who think that the difference is not sufficient to make a fuss about even though it is known.
 The practice of getting money from the consumer through misrepresenta- tions as to weight is widespread and the action which has been taken by the commissioner of weights and measures in Massachusetts in calling before him bakers from various points in the state to show cause why they should not be prosecuted for selling bread which does not come up to the standard weight, is one which prom ises to furnish some interesting reve- lations.
 How great the need of this is, is indicated by the fact that in the in vestigation which has been made by that department there have been gathered 5000 loaves which are from one to nine ounces short of what they should be in weight. This protection is what the purchasing public needs but what it too seldom gets. It is a case where it is easier to let such violations slip by. but apparently the Massachusetts commissioner is not running his office in that manner.

 Entertaining in Athens travels somewhat narrow circle. State din- ners at the palaces, reciprocal enter ta1nments at the legations few recep- tions and still fewer dinners at Greek bouses form the backbone of the win ter's enjoyment. Greeks rarely invite stranger to their board, although among themselves exists a society which the foreign colony knows of chiefly by rumor
 There is much conversation in Athenian salons, and always of a high order. In no capital of Europe, I be- Heve, can be found a more cultured society, and in no drawing room that l have known does conversation flow so smoothly and at such a high level, Art, politics, and the drama are all well known in Athens, and the Greeks are such accomplished linguists that any foreigner may use his own speech without hesitation. French, of course. is the prevailing foreign tongue. with English pressing 1t hard for first place.

THE NEW COMMISSION.

President Wilson has named the men who are to serve upon the com mission for the investigation of the effects Of the Adamson law and he has named three men who are well known because of their connection with fed eral activities or commissions.
 In the choice of General GoethaIs as the chairman of the board, he has se- lected a man who has made a sue cess in the construction of the Pana- ma canal. He is a military engineer in the United States army and un- occasionally a man of high qualifca- tions in his line, but he is now to tackle a problem which is far different from those which have previously con- fronted him. That he does not han ker for the job is indicated by the fact that he says that he is an off, Ger in the army and that he cannot refuse to perform @ service to which he has been detailed by the president
 The other two members of the com mission are men who are in the gov- ernment service. George Rublee is at present serving upon the federal trade commission without pay because the United States senate mas refused to confirm his appointments He is a strong sympathizer with the president and his policies.
 The third member of the board, Ed gar E., Clark, has been a member of the interstate commerce commission for number of years as a represen- tative of the railroad employees, hav- ing been for 16 years at the head of the conductors brotherhood, the po- sition being that which is now held by A. B. Garretson.

FROM THE POST.
 MASTERS,

There has been considerable evi dence, since the present administra- tion took hold of affairs at Washing ton, that there is a feeling of par tiality by the democrats towards the spells system. Civil service has not received the respect that it deserved and the results of the examinations ordered for the holders and applicants for positions of fourth class postmas terships have been covered up be- cause something which might prove detrimental to the administration might be disclosed.
 Now comes the revelation from Texas to the effect that a circular let ter has been sent out at the instance of member of the national commit tee of democrats calling for the so- licitation of the contribution of ten per cent. of the salaries of postnas- ters for the purpose of swelling the national democratic campaign fund Chairman Mccormick at once issued a strong denial of the fact that such efforts have been made but it is to be noted that in connection with his disclaimer the democratic chairman also issued an order for the with drawa,l of the circular letter. This of course would not have been necessary if the circular was not in existence.
 Such an effort of course does not mean that postmasters, who are sup posed to be out of politics, must give up this toll but it is nevertheless a notice to the effect that it would be wise to do so if they expected to re- main in the favor of the administra- tion, and it shows one of the reasons why the democrats are anxious to get back to the spells system and why Vice President Marshall says that "any office which cannot be held by a dern- ocrat should be abolished''

 "A captain who had been deafened by a shell which killed all his com paniors said the front was like the ocean. the whole terrain torn and ploughed by high explosives. There are no first line trenches, the men being in the temporary troughs of this brown waved ocean. The line is, therefore, quite irregular, and many are killed and wounded by their own artillery shots.
 "The stretcher7nen are chosen, so far as I can learn, because of their profe ofession-me1ical students and priests-or because of their responsi- bility-peres de famille. The work is less dangerous than fighting, of course, but they have no cinch. The wounded are carried four or five kile om-tres by them before they reach the poste d'evacuation from which we take them."

 "Oh, I think about enough to fill my pans about four times, and that always leaves a little bit over, and I don't know just what I'll do with that.

It was demonstrated when the Deutschland crossed the Atlantic that it was possible for submarine to make the trip without trouble, pro- vided it could elude the enemy's ves- sells. It was therefore simply a ques- tion of getting past the British block ade which confronted the U-53 and the other submarines which are be- Hcved to be operating with it off Nan tucket, and that they were able to do.
 Their appearance on this side of the Atlantic cannot be construed as any, thing else than notification to the ef- feet that Q campaign is to be conduct cd against enemy shipping outside the three mile limit of this, country and the success which has been attained In the destruction of six vessels within 24 hours is warning enough to shipping that henceforth the regular lanes for steamships lying between this country and European beIligerent nations can be expected to be the hid ing places of enemy submarines arm ed and ready to destroy.
 This is a situation which means much to this country, for even though there are vessels which are the legiti- mate prey of the German warships, it cannot tolerate the blockading of any of it's ports and it cannot permit the violation Of it's neutrality.
 The German submarines have given the allies a new surprise, and unless there are facts which have not been revealed it is indicated that they have kept within their rights, but it might not be too early for this government to insist that they continue to do so.

 So long as the power of recognition rests with me, the government of the United States will refuse to extend the hand of welcome to any one who obtains power in a sister republic by treackery and violence-President Wilson in his speech of acceptance.
 This is a statement of principle en- uncia ed by President Wilson in ex- planation of lis refusal to recognize JIuerta and in defense of our tangled course in Mexico, which followed that refusal.
 However, in Februa"v 1914, Presi- dent Wilson extended recognition to Col. Benavides as head of the reyolu- tionary government of Peru Gel. Benavides' government was founded on assassination, established by as sassina tion, ard had 70 vestige of constitutional authority back of it. It came into power when it's leader, at the head of the garrison troops at LDima, imprisoned President Billing hurst and assassinated tho minister of war and all others who opposed him. 8enav-des came into power simply by E;lling off those opposed to him. The president was placed ;r9 full possession of the facts by Minister McMillin, but recognition was nevertheless extend ed.
 President Wilson's high sounding principle would seem tC have been as much honored in the breach as in the observance. As a T.t-tTer of fact, President Wilson's sta tement is mere ly another example of the art of which he is a master-that of diSIurLing and concealing fact by wei constructed phrases. As an exhibition of intel iectuai adroitnass, it is most interest Ing. How far its exercise is compati- hle with the dignity of the office he occupies might be open to question. - Minneapolis Journal

THE RuMANIAN SITUATION.

That the Teutons are giving more than passing attention to the Ruman- ianss is evident by the reports which are coming from that section of the the war arena though the difficulty of telling just what is taking place is in creased by the conflicting stories which are sent forth regarding the operations of both sides.
 The importance which the Teutons attach to the crushing of Rumania, probably for the purpose of making them understand what it meant when that country cast it's lot with the en- tente, is indicated by the placing of such generals as F'alkenhayn and Mackensen at the head of the attack sees armies. This shows that all of

Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.

Good Politics But No: Good Econo-
 mics,

If the Democracy had decided to punish the ReE ublfcan states for being Republican. it could nn- have devised more successful plan thun is now in operation in the new revenue law. The income tax on individuals and corro- cations and tke emergency revenue taxes, which have produced about $g10,090,000, bear much more heavily on the wealth Of the North than of the South or West. One dollar of these new taxes is paid by every $336 of the wealth of New York, by every S625 of the wealth of Massachusetts. s745 of the wealth of Pennsvlvania. $790 Of the wealth of Illinois, $1.950 Of the wealtl. of Georgia, s2.7so of the wealth if South Carolina, $3.5G0 of the wealth of Oklahoma s3,7oO Of the wealth of Alabama and s4,500 Of the wealth of Mississippi. The Dem nracy has de- fended it's course by announcing That it is it's purpose to tax wealth. These figures indicate that 1t has taxed not all wealth, but only those kinds of wealth that are concentrated in the states of the North. This may be good politics, but it is not very good Eeconomics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wilson Strikes When the Iron is Cold.

Wilson Strikes When the Iron is Cold. MT Editor: ''The Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" was President McKinIey's cherished song, he was a man who usually got some where; President Wilson has no respect for this popu- lar hymn because it doesn't mean any thing to him. and in governmental problems he finds great difficulty in getting anywhere.
 The other day President Wilson told l5,O00 citizens of New Jersey, if he were elected to office by the repub- licans he would be afraid to take the presidency because the republicans are for making war.
 This fear does not commend Presi- dent Wilson to the American people His apprehensiveness figures too much in all he does.
 He had ordered the army to invade Mexico twice. and has built some good military roads for Mexico along the border, but he has never struck the right kind of @ blow. As Roosevelt says: Wilson always strikes when the iron is cold, not when it is hot!"

 ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

 Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poisons that cause agony and pain in the Joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disap- pears.
 It is a harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one discov- cry that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear.
 Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma, and II you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be returned.

In Defense of The Enqllsh Sparrow.

In Defense of The English Sparrow.
 MT. Editor: So the war between human beings is not sufficient, Garrett Serris, a writer for The Boston Amer ican agrees with the United States ex- perts and others that the "snarling," high keyed, snapping" nerve shatter- ing-bird must be exterminated. Who ever heard of any bird snarIing? never did and I have made them a study for years. The English sparrow spends all of his time in or near the city. Then how can he be nuisance roads and streets clean and that is the English sparrow is a quarrelsome bird with it's owns, is cnat cause for it being gotten rid of? Why not use the quarrelsone, screvNG:1g cats that especially on a windy @rht? The not to scream so loudly? The little fled to a warmer and more congenial climate. They feed with the chick ems and never once have I seen a sparrow and never any other bird. It seems to be trait of some people do all their power to harm it. If they do not jar upon my nerves-how can they affect one who has never suffered from any nervous disease? l for one say, let the little bird stay.

What doth 1t profit city to possess artistic buildings and beautiful nat ural scenery if it surrenders itself to the billboard evil? This public nuis- ance has gone on unregulated and un- restrained for the mos. part, in spite of esthetic progress along other lines. Beautiful buildings and streets and parks have been constructed in cities, but always there was the vulgar bill- board to mar the artistic effect enjoy ment of the citizen. Most foreign ci- ties keep outdoor advertising in it's proper place and give natural and ar chitectural beauty a chance, but American cities, with all their wealth and natural scenery, arc not as beau tiful as they should be because they have not vanquished the unsightly billboard.
