Baker and Valley Forge.

Newton D. Baker, when mayor of Cleveland,
was a valuable citizen and was considered ex-
ceent and efficient public official
AS Secretary of War he followed in Office a
man of great breadth of character and wide vision,
one qualified in every way to serve his country as
a Cabinet member. Mr.. Garrison devoted to the
questions arising in his department capacity and
desire for work that quickly equipped him to an
exceptional degree for the tasks dcvolving upon
him.
The ousting of Mr.. Garrison to make way for
passage of the notorious Hay army reorganization
bill was one of the amazing incidents of the ad-
ministration. OF course Mr.. Garrison resigned, as
any man of his qualities would do in like circum-
stances. He was placed in an impossible position
by the veering of the administration from one to
another and totally different plan of action look
ing toward the realization of preparedness in the
army.
Secretary Baker entered upon his duties at a
time when the Presidential campaign close
at hand. He has been called upon to devote much
of his time to the task of presenting favorably be-
fore the people the claims of Mr.. Wilson to re-
election. Perhaps if the campaign had not inter
vened he would have been able by this time to
have Strengthened out some of the kinks that have
been in the "reorganized" army system.
A man of Mr. Bakers proved ability as an ex-
ness for the administrative position he holds.
When Mr. Hughes in a recent speech, de-
nounced shamefuly unpatriotic certain remarks
credited to Mr.. Baker, in which Washington's men
at Valley Forge were put on plane of low equal
ty with the bandits who glory in Villas service,
the Secretary of War retorted hotly.
The Secretary, in effect said that any who
would ascribe to him such a sentiment on the basis
of allegedly garbled reports, was disqualified
to the people as President
Then it appeared that Mr.. Bakers speech had
been reported by a staff for the New York
Tribune who, when he learned of Mr.. Bakers
reputation of the quotation got the Secretary on
the telephone and asked him if he had been mis-
quoted The Secretary finally admitted that he
was quoted with substantial accuracy, intimatng
however, that the emphasis misplaced as
to alter the sense of his statement. He disclaim-
ed any intent to compare the men of Washington
and Villa equals but did not deny having said
of Washingtons men that they were undesirable
citizens" to quote another national figure.
Talk seems to be dangerous for the Wilson
administration.

Seen and Heard by George Miner.

New York Oct. 23-Thcre are all kinds of di-
rectores and social guides and publications of that
nature. These little books very we'll known
and many people find them highly useful. The
other day, however, discovered a new one. 1t is
both useful and interesting, although it is not at
all we'll known. In fact it is a very private publ
cation and I suspect if it put on the general
market might give cause for no end of libel suits.
1t is the professional blue book Not the blue
book of society wherein is recorded the address
of everybody who lives in a or less fashion
able neighborhood or has social connections or
aspirations. 1t is considered quite an honor to be
in that blue book and being there makes you more
or less of the elite.
1t is not honor to be in the professional blue
book. On the contrary, it is a dshonor, for it is
nothing less than the list of people whom
doctors and dentists consider bad pay. In other
words, it is a compilation of all the deadbeats in
New York that at time or another stung a
doctor dentist for professional services
In the intimate conversations which come be-
tween the agonizing periods in the dentist chair,
the mouth expert who was operating on me not
only told me all about this blue book, but showed
me copy of it. To these professional men, this
blue book is what Bradstreets Guide is to bust
ness man. Every one who has been entirely neg
ectful about settling his bills has been dilatory
in that matter is reported to the editor of the book
and his name is thereupon inserted. If his name
is already there he is given a No. and so on
through numbers according to reports from the
various doctors and dentists throughout the city.
There two classes of these deadbeats-those
marked D B, which means they don't pay at all
and those marked S, which signifies they are slow
in settling their accounts
l noticed a large number of them which ran
up as high as the figures and 6, meaning thereby
that there FIVE six unpaid accounts held by
men who have done work for them.
Also, | was very much surprised to find the
names in this book of a good many pretty we'll
known people and lots OF people whose addresses
would indicate that they live in an expensive and
fashionable manner There is one hotel on Upper
Broadway that given address and oc-
CURED very frequently. Ny dentist told me that
this hotel although an expensive and fashionable
one, has a record Of being the home of few others
than deadbeats. Such odorous reputation has
the hotel received in this respect that no dentist
doctor will take client from it unless he is abso-
lutely of being paid

Gasoline Trade Tricks.

The campaign instituted in Washington tc
eliminate sharp practices in the vending of gaso-
line and for the standardization Of that commodity
has not only been given the benefit of expert con-
sideration and commendation by Federal officials
but it is engaging serious attention throughout
the country.
The government authorities of course are in
terested primarily in the establishment of a ma
tion-wide Standardization and the maintenance
Of established standards can be effected only
through Congressional action dealing with inter
state traffic. However the automobile users chief
difficulties constitute, like the tariff local issue
Automobile owners generally found to be
good-natured persons. Whether that is because
they afford automobiles or whether they ex-
haust upon their whatever talent for rrtabil-
ity they may possess is beyond the question
When a garage man gives them short measure
they are likely to overlook the patent fact and
go on their way. not even stopping to find out how
the trick is performed.
F J. Schlink, of the Bureau of Standards, re-
vealed some of these tricks at a recent conference
on weights and measures. Says the Scientific
American:
In the first place all pumps show a ten
dency toward undermeasurement, as any de-
feet in construction or installation tends in
that direction. In pumps Of the piston meas
uring type leaking foot valve will diminish
the amount delivered
The same results from an excessive suction
lift, or leaking pipe; and this is particularly
so in the Of casing head" or offended"
gasolines account of the vaporization that
takes place under the piston. Pumps that have
been standing for some time do not give a
full measure the first stroke owing to leak
age or vapOrization, and two or three strokes
should be made before the measurement is
taken. All these are incidents" that NAV oc-
cur even at the honest" garage; but there are
other of short measure that are en-
tirely intentional. First is the habit of not
operating a piston measuring pump to full
stroke; then there is the convenient long hose
with shut-off cock at the filler end, and
sometimes this hose is long enough to hold a
full gallon that has been measured at the
pump, but not delivered.
Another fraudulent device is that which re-
turns undelivered gasoline to the dealers
storage tank and it is sometimes so attached
that it operates at the same time that liquid
is being delivered to the customer-in other
words, it diverts a substantial percentage of
the measured gasoline back to the storage
tank
The only safeguard for the buyer is to have
his gasoline out into certified measures
and then poured into his tank. This takes
more time, but it pays.
Life seems to be just struggle after another

I reckon not my stature by the scale
OF feet and let my inches tell the tale
But have I grown in Faith and Sympathy,
And human Love down in the heart of me?
And hath my sense of my struck brothers moar
To grth Of fuller understanding grown?
And have my shoulders broadened out to bear
A larger portion Of my neighbor's care?
And in the mind of what ampler space
Has been devised for venturings of grace,
And greater stores of helpful kindliness
To others dwelling in the vale of stress?
In courtesy, and tact and courage high
The question is what growth have 1?

Rumors are again coming from London of the
informal submission of very favorable peace terms
by the German government These particular pro-
posals declared to include the evacuation of
Belgium with indemnity, Of Serbia without an
indemnity, and the cession of Lorraine to France.
The rumor is probably false; but it may anticipate
a course of action which the Germans will pursue
some time during the next few months Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's recent speech predicted clear
ly the future strategy of the German campaign for
peace. AS their military situation becomes worse
the Germans will appeal for neutral sympathy and
support They will picture themselves to the
world as pair of comparatively weak powers at
tackled by group of much stronger enemies who
all coveting part of their territory. But
campaign of this kind necessarily implies the
offer by the central empires of specific terms Of
peace, which will win the sympathy of disinterest-
ed neutral opinion and of those Frenchmen and
Engshmen who are sick of the We may ex-
pect, consequently, such an offer to be submitted
soon, but the first attempt Is not likely to be at
