The public endorsement of a local

Telling ones experience when 1t Is for
the public good is an act Of kidness
that should be appreciated. The fol-

TEUTON PROBLEM Is REPOPULA.
TION

Berlin, March GLOW to solve the
problem of re-populating Germany at
ter the war, probably will be one of
the big issues under discussion by the
Reichstag this month.
During its final regular session in
1916 it appointed large committee
Of % members to look into the mat
ter during the recess, and a small
committee Of this large committee has
been industriously going over the field
with the assistance and cooperation
Of the ministry of the interior, the
large and powerful, though unof-
fetal Association for Re-population
Policy" and other similar organiza-
lions.
First among the concrete plans for
INCREASING the population comes, OF
course, the task of decreasing the
uCdtu ldlC NAlSll Suh pio
coed effectively only when peace time
conditions prevail again.
The more complex problem lies in
the increasing the birthrate. Interest
in the question has increased to such
an extent that all manner of radical
proposals, have had to be weighed and
studied and will all come up for de-
cision by the Reichstag itself.
The more conservative of the pre-
posals include economic steps u II
will make earlier marriage poss' le
higher wages, regulation of vice and
the limitation Of disease, making mar
riage carrier, protection in greater de.
gree for mothers and children.

Albany, N. Y, March PA reso-
luton to- provide for a referendum on
the woman's suffrage question at the
state election next November, was
passed in the Senate tonight by vote
of SO to 7.
Tonight's action was the last step
in the legislative procedure prelimi-
nary to referring the subject to the
electorate. The measure is concerned
with amending the State Constitution
and consequently does not have to re-
ceive the approval of the Governor.

haps bring vice more and more under
official voting rights for men with
large families, money premiums for
mothers bearing many children.
Higher wages and shorter appren-
ticeshops, enabling working men to
achieve independence at earlier age,
as well as shorter courses of educa-
ton for professional men, so that they
may be able to marry before they are
in the late twenties or the early thir-
ties as at present, are means of in
creasing the birthrate that have been
under discussion for long time and
that are becoming increasingly popu-

problem becomes more and more ap-

A Disguised Declaration

1t was the prevailing sentiment in
the Halls of Congress Immediately fol-
lowing the Presidents request that he
be granted authority to safeguard the
rights Of the people, that such author
ity was entirely superfous. as he al
ready possessed that power under the
Constitution. Congressman Edward j.
King of Illinois, one of the promi-
nent attorneys in the House, called
attention to decision by New York
justice in 1860 that "the interpositon
of the President to protect abroad the
lives and property of citizens of the
United States, is a matter resting in
his discretion" Mr.. King professed
to be somewhat puzzled as to just
why the President should come to
Congress and ask what he did I'm
the light of the decisions of the
courts" said he, 1.-THE request of the
President for authority to act in the
premises was, in effect, a request of
Congress to declare war in disguise.

Taxation Without Representation


While he is not a member of the

OF Pennsylvania sees to it that no in
justice is done the people of Wash
ington without his vehement protest.
They are at present suffering under a
drastic intangible tax law enacted in
the first session of the last Congress,
which Mr. McFadden vainly attempt
ed to amend by exempting bank de-
posts from its operation. He show
ed that banks in Washington already
pay six different kinds of taxes, and
to add to that number was a hard
ship that should not be imposed upon
them. Unfortunately for the Dis
trict," said Mr.. McFadden, "in mat
tiers affecting its own welfare, 1t has
no direct representation in Con-
gress." He called attention to the
fact that the citizens of the District
had not even been granted a hearing
before the enactment of the law, and
the repeal of some of its most rigorous
provisions was merely an act of sim.

Augusta chronicle.
United States Senator Benjamin
R. Tillman will vote for war the first
opportunity. He is tired Of this
country being run over by Germany.
In the senior senator's opinion, Ger
many has gone beyond the limit. He
feels that Germany is now making
war on this country, and he favors
immediate action.
The senator came over to Augusta
for a few hours yesterday on bust
ness. He made a few purchases for
his plantation, and at 1:15 in the af-
ternoon returned on the Southern
train to Trenton.
Many of his friends and admirers
greeted the senator as he passed up
Broad street. He was walking alone,
but was constantly intercepted by
those who knew him. He discussed
the situation this country now faces
very briefly, and in answer to the
question as to what he thought of
this country getting into war he ex-

Mr.. Guion, well known stock

President of the Farm Loan Bank,
in the course of discussing the use
to which the loaned funds should
be put made the following signifi-
cant statements:
"I never say a farm in South
Carolina where a few cattle could
not be raised to advantage, and
never saw farm in South Carolina
on which it would pay to raise cat
tie exclusively" -
Again referring to the same SUBJ
ject he stated:
"a man who buys high priced
breeding stock, paying a thousand
or more dollars for it, is foolish. He
has not the experience to take care
of such an investment" &.
It may be of interest to call to
mind what DR.. Seaman A. Knapp
had to say in reference to the de-

in the south in his "Ten Agricultural

Some Soldier Philosophy

F. G. Ketnewsky, former assistant
editor of The Idaho Republican,
writing from Fit. Douglas to Mr.. and
Mrs. Byrd Trego, expresses some
thing of what a man feels when he
is coming to himself
p He says he feels ten years young
er, and very much freer in the sense
that he is placed absolutely on his
merits and measured by one true
standard the same as all others in
the ranks.
Mr.. Kutnewsky goes on to say
that besides studying French and
washing his own clothes and hauling
manure from the stables to the
dump, washing dishes for the cooks
and doing whatever else he may be
assigned to, he gets a little time
to study signals and polish his shoes
and write to his friends.
In all the boys letters there
breathes the spirit of appreciation of
the training, its effect upon their
life, and the hunger for letters from
home. If it does not stand out in
so many words you get it between
the lines. Write to your soldier
friends, and mail them your home
paper after you have read it. Don't
forget the peril of Breaking home
ties"
