NOT YET, KAISER

The cartoon in Mondays Bridgeport Post is certainly a good one. A game of cards is in progress-one of those games at which certain "disks of ivory" are employed-the players being the Kaiser, the King of England, the Czar of Russia and the heads of Italy and France. While the picture has title, it is quite unnecessary. as the four big stacks of "chips" at the kaiser's place at the table labeled Belgium, Serbia, Roumonia and Northern France, with the Kaiser himself preparing to put on his coat and leave, speak the title as plain as the words: "Well, Boys, let's quit" But it's more than game of cards the Kaiser is playing this time.

q SQUARE DEAL.

The people right here in Canaan, as we'll as all over the country, have reason to be pleased with Uncle Sam's mode of acquiring the Danish West Indies--it is so different from the European methods of extending their domain. How much better for all con- cerned to get this property in busi- ness.like way, making an honorable real estate transaction of it by buying it at a price that satisfies the owners, than to get into fight and steal it. 1t is certainly setting good example to the other powers, and is dealing as human beings should deal-by practic- ing the golden rule--and not as animal get things from their weaker brothers.

DON'T, WoR Ry.

The public health service at Wash ington has issued a bulletin on worry ing, giving the statistics on nervous diseases and their tendency to shorten life. Much of our worrying is unnec- essary, and In most cases any amount of it will do no good. We all have our "ups and downs;" if you are "down" now, keep your eyes open for chances to better yourself-these chances surely come to everyone-and when they come don't let them slip through your fingers; grab them.
 This bulletin says: "No bird ever tried to build more nests than it's neighbor; no fox ever fretted because he had only one hole in which to hide i; no squirrel ever died of anxiety lest he should not lay by enough nuts for two winters instead of one; and no dog ever lost any sleep over the fact that he did not have enough bones laid aside for his declining years.

Mrs. hawkins states that she considers "the average thoughtless American housewife criminally extravagant and wasteful both in her purchasing and cookery"
 J. P. Buckley, a big farmer near Portland, Maine, is showing the people in his section how to live more cheaply. They are building a cooperative pro- vision store in Portland, and organiz- ing it by selling shares at $10 each tO both the producers and consumers-the farmers and prospective customers. The middleman is not in it. Con- modities are to be retailed at prices fair to both the farmer and the householder. Then, at the end of each year, profits will be divided among customers &C., cording to the amount of their pur- chases.
 People who buy in the customary way are frequently paying enormous prices and do not know it. A Con- necticut farmer in the onion district sold 1900 bushels of onions to New York distributor for 55 cents bushel. The same onions were retailed. a quart or less to a customer, at the rate of $6. 40 per bushel. The transportation, storage and shrinkage cost 95 cents per bushel-where did the balance of $4. 90 go? A farmer got IS cents dozen for eggs. They were put into cold storage and finally sold for 55 cents. A mar ket gard ener sold lettuce for IS cents dozen heads, ar d it was retailed at ten cents a head-$1.20 dozen. A few years ago when cabbages were plentiful at Cape Elizabeth the farmers could get cnly $4 ton for them and the con. sumers just across the harbor were pay. ing two cents pound for them-$40 a ton.
 And so it goes. People in cities and villages who live from hand to mouth are certainly justified in complaining of the high cost of living, and the mid dlemen get the money.
 If there are two classes of people who really ought to "get together and pull together" for the benefit of both, they are the producer and consumer, and they are the ones who can give the H. 0. of l.. the hardest ''swat."

 men who took an active part in the re cent presidential campaign seems to have marked a new epoch in their pub lie activities in this Their country. The col Work a lege graduate has Benefit hitherto been just
 +o the ly reprOached for
 N..; neglecting his civic
 duties, and hard headed business men have growled that they wanted in their offices men trained by actual contact with the world and not by theorizing profes- BOrs. The politicians and hard headed business men sat up and rubbed their eyes this fall when they saw an or ganization of 100000 college graduates actively at work in 300 cities and many lesser communities as volunteer speak CTS, canvassers for votes, propaganda writers, workers for election day, watchers at the polls and automobile owners willing to loan their cars for campaign uses.
 One theory as to the reason for the change in the activities of college grad uates is that there are more among the 350,00O in this country who work ed their way through college. One of them was George BrOkaw Compton, organizer and national campaign man. of tho IJ11Cboc National Co1Iopo league, the biggest of the three college leagues which took part in the cam paign. He had made a success of the Whitman College Mems league in New York state in. the gubernatOrial cam paign of 1914 and launched his nation wide organization by sending a circu- lar letter signed by Senator Theodore E. Burton, president of the league. to 317,OO0 college graduates. Within six weeks he had an enrolment of over 47,0OO, including 3S,S67 Republicans, 1901 Democrats, 3,209 Progressives, 971 independents and 5000 men who failed to indicate their usual political affiliation.
 Several hundred colleges were repre- scented in this enrolment.
 The Woodrow Wilson National Col lege Mems league was the similar Democratic organization, and the Ma tional Republican College league organ ized the undergraduates in the Repub- lican camp. It is probable that these three leagues enlisted in the campaign fully half the college graduates and undergraduates in the United States. The purpose of the leagues was not to secure merely the votes of members, but to influence college men to busy themselves in political work The lasting good that the discovery of their ability to become a force in politics has done to the college men them selves is an asset to the nation and credit to the men who worked night and day to accomplish this result

GRANDMOTHERS
By the Grandson.

By the Grandson. Surely grandmothers are very nice folks, They beat all the aunts in creation; They let a chap do just about as he likes And don't worry bout education. I'm sure that can't understand it at
 all;
 What little boys ever could do For pennies, aud apples and cookies and
 cakes
 Without grandmother or two. Grandmothers sometimes speak soft to
 our Ma.
 To let boy have a good time; Sometimes they whisper the other way When boy wants to wrestle or climb. Grandmothers have such nice mullins
 for tea,
 And pies-a whole row in the cellar, And sometimes they're apt, If they
 know it in time, To make chicken pie for feller. And if he gets boist'rous and bad now and then
 And makes a great racket and noise, These grandmothers only look over their specs
 And say "Oh, these boys will be boys."

The professor of philosophy in the University of Iowa, pr. G. T. W. Pat rick, propounds the question, 'Whence the universal and persistent desire for tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol?' In an article in the Interstate Medical Journal he essays an answer.
 He very truly says the problem can not be disposed of by saying simply that tea and coffee are luxuries, to- bacco a habit and alcohol vice, says the Denver News. The fact that the American people consume annually 2,O00,000,000 gallons of alcoholic liq- uors, 5OO,OO0,O0O pounds of tobacco, 1,OOO,OOOOOO pounds of coffee and near ly 1OO,000O00 pounds of tea makes 1t ''prosaic question of demand and supply" with the demand rooted somewhere in the brain cells of human beings
 The desire for food, sleep, air and water is easily explained. They are essential in order to sustain physical life. But tea, coffee, tobacco and al cohol offer no such obvious explanation for their extraordinary claim on human appetite. We must seek further for the reason.

Now that the United States has, through it's navy men upon the scene, placed Santo Domingo under military rule it is to be hoped that long dose of pacification will be given this bel ligerent, turbulent, prodigal and hope less little country, says the Baltimore American. The United States sustains the responsibility that it is seeking to discharge, and the outcome should be the complete reformation of Santo Domingo. Haiti is in the same class. The United States will have to see that both these little republics meet their indebtedness and present a de cent front to the world. Uncle Sam must remain their surety.

A Milestone In the Rise
 of the Moros.

an individual-a milestone, as it were. in a peoples rise to the dignity of a nation.
 Hadjii Butl is a Moro and the first of his race to sit in the Philippine sen ate. Just the other day, as time is reckoned loosely, he was prime minis ter of the sultan of Sulu, agent of a wild, unorganized state within state Now he assumes the dignity of a law maker by authority of the congress of the United States. It is a rise in moral stature for Butu and an episode of sig nificance for the Philippines.
 For the new senator from Mindanao stands for the progress of the whole archipelago from serfdom to national independence. His appointment to a senatorship by Governor Harrison car ries out the spirit of the new Philip pine act. It is official recognition of the American nations intention to use every reasonable endeavor to train the natives for self government.
 And this Moro is a good deal of a progressive in his way. He has work ed long and faithfully to bring the realm of his former chief, the sultan, to see the folly of further resistance and to bring it to a full acknowledge ment of the American authority. Amer jeans may well keep an eye on Hadjii Butu.

TAXES, TAXES AND MORE TAXES
 FOR EUROPE'S NATIONS,

To date the war has cost $G0,000,- own greatest national debt at the close of the war to save the Union to pay
 even the annual in- ouroen or Oeot terest on this new
 Piins Up debt of Europe.
 to says the Philadel- Unheard of phia Ledger.
 Figures. 1nat Tn tere IS
 each year more than wipes out a city as big and rich as Philadelphia.
 It is nearly three times our total fed eral government expenditures.
 It would more than pay for all our eountrys public school and college cd ucation every year.
 This added annual charge of Europe not the debt, mind you, but the in terest on the debt-wOuld build half a dozen Panama canals every year. Europe's new interest would tax ev- cry inhabitant of the United States S30 year and to pay the full debt would require $G00 from every American. Sink 150 buildings such as our na- tiOnal capitol in the earth and you just about match the war debt interest. The deposits in Pennsylvania larg- est savings bank, put there by 100000 depositOrs. would pay the war debt in terest for only six weeks.
 Senator Penrose's salary for a year is enough to cancel that interest for one minute and a quarter
 President Wilson's salary for year would pay the interest for twelve and a half minutes.
 And the war isn't ended, but when it is ended one would suppose that the best investment any man ill Europe could make would be steamship ticket to the United States of America and so avoid that back breaking tax for the rest of his life.

 derstand the spirit World Will Not with which the Die In Great War thinking warrior While Soldiers goes about his Ideas Remain work. The re-
 Alive factions are ad-
 dressed to the Brit ish civilian. In passages referring to the enemy the writer says:
 Do you not see that we regard these men who have sat opposite us in mud as the victims of the same catastrophe as ourselves, as our comrades in misery much more truly than you are? Do you think that we are like some of you in accumulating on the head of every wretched antagonist the indigna- tion felt for the wickedness of a gov ernment or of a social system or df you wilD of a nation? Hatred Of the enemy is not common, I think, among soldiers who have fought with them. It is incompatible with the proper dis charge of our duty, for to kill in hatred is murder, and we are not murderers, but eXecutioners. You do not help yourselves or your country or your soldiers by hating, but only by loving and striving to be more lovable."
 There are those who predict the death of all European civilization and per haps of American civilization as well as result of this most hateful of all wars that were ever fought. There has been much material destruction, and there will be more. Governmental systems may be cast into ruins as a re- suit of the struggle. But the spirit of civilization will not die so long as the ideas expressed by this British soldier live among men.

New York Paper Gives Interesting
Account St. Louis Suffrage Fight

defeated in referendum; hostile dem
onstrations, Kisses, sneers, and in
terruptions from unruly delegates
made the contest on woman suffrage
the most thrilling incident Of the
whole convention.
Governor Ferguson OF Texas had
presented the familiar arguments of
the southerners who opposed woman
suffrage because it may enfranchise
negro women. Without mincing
words. he accused the majority mem
Ders OF the platform committee OF
surrendering their own convictions
to political eXpediency. He declar-
cd that he had heard made in the
resolutions committee OF the cOnven-
ton the statement that unless a
plank endorsing suffrage were in
cluded in the platform, the Demo
cratic party might not carry next fall
those western states where women
already have the right to vote. He
was cheered by the anti-suffrage e1e-
ment Ill the convention, and it look
ed for a time as if the delegates were
being swayed against the majority
report. The situation looked precar-
ious, even, as Senator StCne. him
self chairman OF the platform COM

of Ohio and others who claimed that
declaration by the National CON

This would ernbarrass many, it was
