IT IS HIGH TIME.

The impressions grows, in spite of denials. that the likelihood of peace is stronger than it has been at any time since war was declared.
 When you come to think of it, isn't ie about time that somebody got enough of the horrible slaughter, the awful misery and suffering, the destruction of property, and the wasting of billions of dollars-a thousand times worse than wasted-that has turned the old world into a veritable hell ?
 We sometimes wonder if those who are responsible for the present state of affairs, over the other side, really think they did a very smart trick. Perhaps she Kaiser is proud of his job but there are others who cannot see great amount of glory in war.
 And to think that it could all have been ayertedl Truly the human race lowers itself to the level of animals when it resorts to warning methods of aetGling disputes-and worse thar animals because they are endowed with reasoning powers that should tell them in advance of the awful consequences

WANT 23-CENT PIECE.

A two-and- one half cent piece is de. manded by the country, according to the director of the mint, whose annual report, made public today, recommends passage of law authorizing coins of that denomination from copper and nickel.
 "When you consider that we have no coin between the one.cent piece and the five cent piece and that many an article worth more than cent and less than five cents sells for the latter price because the lack of an intermediate monetary unit of value," says the director, "the economic importance of it will be readily seen. Articles which now sell for 15 cents each or two for a quarter would sell for 123 cents. Popular shops, such as the five and ten cent stores would undoubtedly place articles now selling two for five cents on sale at 23 cents."

THOSE LlM BRICKS

It is amusing to observe the different ways in which people take things, and che limericks that have been run at the head of our Canaan personal column dual purpose of amusing some and drawing out the human nature of others. The pleasing feature of the whole matter is that without exception all of those whose names have appeared in these verses have taken their "medi. cine" good naturedly, whether their dose be complimentary or in the form of a roast-and that is the way it should be taken. A person who can. mot take an innocent joke when it is doled out in the form of limerick - which Webster defines as "a non. sense poem'-must be afflicted with 8 grouch, and should consult the subject of the limerick in this issue. The funny side of this matter is the fact that, while those most interested and the ones who have any excuse what ever for taking exceptions at these ruasts swallow 6heir "pills' with a smile, while certain outsiders who are ln no way interested hold up their hands in holy horror and cannot under stand how we can dare to publish such awful things about people. This latter class are the ones whom we shall en- dea vor to handle with kid gloves, should it become necessary to handle them at all, ut-well-deliver us from the person who cannot take joke.

CAPTAIN GEORGE l.. KILMER.

The question of substituting high power searchlights for the ordinary headlight on railway locomotives has been brought to the fore by railroad men. So introduced, the innovation cannot be brushed aside as the dream of busybodies who are tampering with edged tools. The abolition of glaring headlights on autos is now being urged in the interest of pedestrians and even for the safety of autoists themselves. Unquestionably an engine driver would feel more at ease and have his confi- dence increased if able to scan the track and its borders a long distance ahead. Night turned to day would be for him a boon and for the lives and property in his charge a safeguard. But unfortunately no searchlight yet invented can straighten out a curve dispel foss or abolish masks formed by trees or buildings.

FREE ADVERTISING.

It is a long established rule amoAg newspapers generally that notices of any sale or any enterprise where a charge is made-a mOnev-making en- terprise-shall be paid for at regular advertising rates. Infringements of this rule are continually creeping in in one form or another, with the result that some have obtained valuable ad- vertising space free. This is, of course, unfair to other advertisers. and to avoid further trouble and misunder- standings we find ourselves obliged to state that the rule of charging for this class of advertising will be enforced hereafter.

One of the social rules imposed by the German food dictatorship is that guests dining out must take their own bread with them. Offhand this must strike the busy housekeeper as a dou- ble blessing. It saves the trouble of figuring on how much the guests will want of the staff of life as well as a snug little sum for outlay. Modern conditions compel woman to simplify work as we'll as reduce costs at the table. It has been suggested that the people who can carry bread along when they go visiting could likewise carry along plate, knife, fork, cup and spoon. Of course they would carry them back and wash them at home. Simple enough if only some social die tatoress will establish the custom.

A beard has always been thought to be proper for a soldier. Shakespeare brought out "A soldier full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard." Just what sort of beard the pard wore is a matter of doubt, but there are sam ples in old prints and styles handed down by usage which indicate that it was now an exaggerated and now curtailed imperial-that is, tuft or a point on the chin, with more or less profuse or bushy mustache.

AN EXPERT ON THE PANAMA CA

It would be well if the address re- gently delivered in New York by Gen. eral Goethals on the Panama canal could be made a public document and
 widely distributed.
 Success The public h s as a Business been somewhat
 Venture humbugged, if not Rests Upon the bunkOed, over this M.++sr of r,II. business of a great
 interocean water way owned and controlled by the Unit ed States. Perhaps it is the fault of the peoples natural optimism. Now here comes along a common sense man who knows the subject, General Goethals. He says, "I want to see great American warehouses and ship ping houses along the canal, so that it will become a great commercial sta tion for the trade between this coun- try and South America" Everybody will say amen to that, but at the same time it is thought that our hundreds of millions of dollars already put in are the limit of what should be invest ed down there. And all will agree with the generals later remark that the whole thing be run as q business proposition without any politics." The question of tolls is at the bottom of its success as business adventure. The general says at present the system of tolls discriminates against American shipping. Higher rates are charged to American ships than to ships of other nations, particularly the British. Tolls are paid on the freight below decks. British ships are built to carry heavy cargoes on deck, and for this they pay no toll. The general believes that the canal can soon pay interest on the in vestment by laying tolls on the earning capacity of the ships.

Historian and Economist in a recent number criticised the institution known as and supposed to be the general staff

 Should wrote that it is "a Be More Than sort of impotent an "Information information office Office" aIIacneu Uo Ch C
 war college" He says it has nothing to do with recruit ing depots, military prisons, military Notifications nor practical questions relating to our national defense. It is humiliating as well as surprising to be told that its functions are chiefly the appointment and discharge of veteri- narians, granting leave of absence, charge of the distribution of books sales of military stores to civilians and other routine bureau work of like na- ture Brains of the United Ttates army? Well, not if this critic is to be believed and this article appears in good company. That was the original idea, but it was strangled by politics, nudged by private interests, at its very birth" Some of the nations in Eu- rope have had more or less unhappy times with their general staffs caught mapping by wars sudden outburst.
