The Congressional Kaleidoscope

In this way business is proceeding Washington: The senate day put in the prohibition during the clause and the next day it took it One day by single vote it eliminated the censorship clause and two days later it decisively eliminated it. For weeks the house vigorously, viruleny and with out any proffered opposed the proposition allow Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a division for France and, when after stubborn fight in confer ence it against the senate it suddenly changed its mind and caused further delay by the suggestion that the Roosevelt provision be put in.
 We are pleased with these changes of mind with reference to the Roosevelt provision and the censor ship clause though pleased with the change of front the prohibition during -the-war provision But we and all of would have been bet ter pleased if all these things and all things to be done, could be done without this wavering and shift ing, especially at this time when prompness and de- cision are necessary Congress now, of all times should not be a kaleidoscope

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND

As this has any definition of purpose beyond the purpose of national security it is a the recognition of nationality.
 It seems important that there should be a free Poland embracing the territory in which Poles who want Polish national government should be free to have this national expression
 It seems important that there should be freedom for nationates in Austria Hungary and freedom for the electorate in Germany.
 We can find plenty of reasons for insisting that the shall free the Armenians from the Turks shall give Greece republic, Russia democracy, Belgium an assurance of integrity. France promise of security, and that it shall enable the statue of Liberty in New York harbor to shine undimmed
 Many of our arguments necessarily illusions. In this progress of democracy shall not free the Koreans from the Japanese nor the Hindus from the English Life progresses by principles and also by compromises.
 The compromises do not destroy they merely modify the principles Nothing can be absolute and final and beyond challenge in human life, and there fore this great principle democracy will go ahead stuttering rather than clear voiced
 But in which elects democracy as the prin- cpIe there ought to be different condition of the lands which allied to the principle The United States which in a real sense is about to fight for the security of the United States, and in equally real sense is about fight for the principle ocracy would fight better if the allies to which it joined were better established in consistency.
 The outstanding issue is that of Ireland Ireland self governed, might disorderly. Provision easily can be made against that. We have the Patt amend ment operating in Cuba. Great Britain apply a Platt amendment and fair bill of rights an assur- ahce oI TellSlouS Hperty ana protection against un due taxation and give Ireland freedom with protec- tive restrictions.
 Great Britain may guarantee the preservation of order in Ireland the maintenance religious liberty and of fair bill of rights the individual and then permit the Irish to themselves and have national expression, even as Canada Australia and South Africa have.
 In fashion it may be said that this is none of our business, but in larger fashion it is our business We do not like to stuter when proclaim principles and some stutering is necessary in the United States when now asked to fight for principles which are not being applied, within the rational limits of application, by allies.
 We do not ask that allies free the AIoroccans the Hndus or the Koreans, but it within reason to ask that they give home rule Irish and thus help the United States in of it's local prob lens.
 II we are to help we ought to be helped and this Irish question is American as well as an English queston-Chicago Tribune, May 101917.

A Farmer on the Food Problem

At a recent meeting of the California development board, Albert Lindey leadiag agricultursts of that state, dealt some hard blows at the men who are outlining for the farmer his work in the feeding of the nation and it's allies Incidentally he gave some good advice concerning the increasing the food supplies to meet the needs of the war.
 He called attention to the fact that journalists bankers, labor leaders, merchants and professional men were flooding the with advice as to the solution of the food problem He reminded these advisers that they were not farmers and that the hard-headed farmer and will solve the problem if given proper encouragement and support
 He stated that there are in California 12 GOO 900 acres of farming land lying idle and he scored the leading of the farmers into wild farming or wild finance that advocated increased acreage out-of- season planting" Urging the organization of the farmers under the leadership of a farm general Mr. Lindley reduced his plan to this simple formula:
 Get really truly-to-God farmers together furnish them with the land and caterpillar horses and tools stand behind them with money labor and our country and our allies will be fed and fed from the first crop that the land and the locality adapted to produce"
 Then Mir Lindley offered this advice which must commend itself for it's sodnd sense:
 We, like all other countries states and munic paites, have many fool laws to handicap the big and little farmer. There is particularly that should now and at once be modified rescinded. That is Ihe law regarding the keeping of chickens, goats, cows hogs and horses within the city limits or certain city districts. This is presumed to be a sanitary measure but if the truth known the complaint ot the health department so potent in hav- ing these laws enacted the kick of the patron of the night, who dances and dimes in the cafe or cabaret where the din is so fierce that even farmer could not hear himslf eat, but complains that the growing of cock and the moong of the disturbs his morning slumber
 Allow stock to he kept in cities by thrifty fam ilies under reasonable sanitary restraint The sick ness caused by the odor and flies will be than offset by the heathfuness of babies mothers ing pure milk, butter, fresh eggs and chickens, and by the older children being kept off the streets gain healthfu exercise in the of the stock and the cultivation of the garden Millions dollars worth of refuse from the table goes into the garbage that if fed chickens and hogs raised at home would go far toward the support of thousands of families"

medically if disturbed but cannot feed or crawl about. After a few days in this transformation stage the adult or winged insect commonly known 2s the lady bird, appears.
 The iarvae and adults of the con vergent lady birds live chiefly on aphis or plant lice. This is the species of lady bird that is so highly prized by the California melon growers. Several tons of the adult beetles gre collected m their hiber- na!ing quarters Tn the mountains ot Northern California each season anG in the spring these are shipped >to the melon growers in Southern Cal ifornia, principally in the Imperial valley While no one questions the value of the lady bird ir controlling the melon aphis there is little or no evidence that the effort to assist ma ture by adding to the supply already present is worthwhile. When eli lnatic conditions are favorable for the lady birds those which arc nat urally present multiply rapidly and soon overcome the aphis. If condi- tiGns are unfaVorable however no quantity of the beneficial insects which t is practicable to introduce have any appreciable effect.

AMERICAN MOTHERS

Have ye heard the cannon roaring Far across the blue waves? Have ye seen the air-planes soaring Over sons others graves? Have ye sung loud for old Glory "Proudest flag that freedom boasts?" Have ye, weeping, heard the story Of that flags dead hero hosts? Hark, that guns grim roar draws nearer, And that plane seeks your coasts. Submarines make honor dearer, Liberty costs more than toasts . Have ye naught but tears and shouting When the sun shines overhead? Do your hearts quake, fearing, doubting, Lest your loved ones join Gods dead? Give your best to shut the flood gate Of ambitions greedy tide. Justice, mercy and world peace wait Calling your sons to their side.

NEW CONSTITUTION

Yesterday the Yoyote received it's copy of the constitution of the Asso- ciatioon of Arizona School Editors. This document is being sent by the secretary of the association, F. Welden Pickett of the state university Wild Cat, to all the members of the organi- zation. It gives the full powers and duties of each unit of members. One unique feature about it is that though every member of the staffs of every paper represented is a member. the paper has but one vote given through it's editor in chief or in his absence by a representative appointed by him. Officers of the association hold office from Tucson week until the end of school, then they are automatically succeeded by the editor of the paper for the ensuing year, who holds office until Tucson week.

It pays to study hard in a subject the whole year, at least Miss Me Afee's expression and voice classes think so. Because of such hard studying they now feel that they can afford several hours of entertainment during a week.

She played four pieces in both classes, the rest of the hour was spent in playing the Nictrola.

REORGANIZATION
Of GUARD MAY
DENOTE OFFICERS

The reorganization Of the national
guard under the French system, which
increases the numerical strength OF
the regiment, making It twice as
large as under the American system,
will result in scores OF officers Of the
State organizations either being
transferred to the national army or
losing their commissions entirely.
This was made plain at the War
Department today, when II was an
nounced that boards Of high army Of
fcers were to be designated at all
national guard camps TO pass on the
efficiency OF officers and to determine
which will be retained to command
the enlarged regiments and which are
to be given other assignments or re-
duced to non-commissioned posts.
Under the American plan OF army
orEaniEation-smRlle companies and
smaller regiments-there are upwards
of 200 officers more than are neces-
sary to command the enlarged units
under the French plan. Some OF
these officers will be designated to
command reserve or training units at
each camp and cantonment. II the
national army cannot absorb the re-
mAinder, the possibility exists OF these
losing their. commissions and being
reduced TO non-commissioned ranks
The War Department will endeavor
to avoid reducing any OF the officers
now in the guard orEaniIations, II
this is possible, but preference will
be given the officers who come UP to
the standards established by the ef-
ficiency boards that are to be named.
