GAN RETALIATE ON
 MAIL CENSORSHIP
New Revenue Bill Gives Pres-
 ident RepriSal Power.

Any proof that Great Britain is using trade information secured from inter- cepted neutral mail in her struggle for commercial supremacy probably would be followed by vigorous steps by the American government to secure aban donment of the practice.
 A statement made during a tariff de- bate in parliament by David Lloyd George. the British war secretary, that such information properly could be put to 'any public and national use" is re- garded by officials in Washington as opening the way for practices which would work inestimable injury to American interests.
 While the state department refuses to make any comment pending full investigation of the exact meaning of the war secretary's declaration. there are many evidences that the policy he suggested is viewed as unsuppOrtable in international law.
 Discussion of the subject brought out the suggestion that although the Phelan amendment denying the use of American mail, cable, telegraph and express privileges to citizens of for eign countries interfering with Amer ican mails was stricken out of the re- taliatory legislation recently passed by congress, the measure as enacted con tains authorizations which might be construed as broad enough to allow the president to retaliate against un- fair use of the censorship.

Wit and Humor.

The quality of wit exists wherever imagination percolates through the un- derstanding; the sediment is the grain gold of wit But the quality of humor, depending upon various moral straits, exists only wherever broad imagina- ton is combined with a sweet and tol- erant moral sense that Is devoid of malice and all uncharitableness and at peace with all mankind. A petulant egotism may exist with wit, but never with humor. Where there is sense of humor. That sense is mans expedienr to make his mortality endur- able. The laughter of man is the con- tentment of God.-John Weiss.

that the Progressive voters have return ed in a body to the Republican party and are voting the straight Republican ticket"
 Herbert Parsons said:
 "The election shows that the people of this country want the Democrats out and the Republicans in. The vote is along party lines."
 W. Cameron Forbes. former gOver- nor general of the Philippines, said:
 ''The returns are splendid evidence of the fundamental right mindedness of a democracy. They show that the people are not fooled into thinking that black is white and white is black simply because a president who is master of the art of twisting words to serve his purpose has tried to de- ceive them"
