Albany. Sent. 2s.-One of the Bit
terest legislative fights since the i'm.
peachment of Governor Sulzer is ex-
pacte6 when the Senate reconvenes
next week to vote second time on the
confirmation Of George W. Perkins as
head of the State Food Control Com
mission. The friends of Governor
Whitman to-day predicted that Perkins
would be confirmed with at least two
votes 70 snare. They look to New York

votes will bring victory.
Senator Zion r. Brown is known 70
be as determined as ever IN ms ngh.
against Perkins. He is confident that
none of the fourteen Republicans VINO
voted against Perkins on the hrst Dali
lot viii change his vote. He believes
also that he has baked the efforts OF
The Governor to bind the Republican
majority by caucus. The friends OF
senator brown declare 'Ae6N i'N''N
fourteen anti-Perkins Senators VIII en-
ter a caucus.
Senator Brown believes that all the
Democrats will again oppose Perkins
as they did two weeks ago. The vote
at that time was II to 20 against Per,
kins, and the Brown hackers say that
even if five Democrats should 60 over
to Perkins it would make little differ
ence. as four of the five absentees at
the last session will vote with Senator
Brown.
The friends Of the majority leader
say that he is away on fishing trip
and is not worrying over the fight next
week. In contrast, they point to the
strenuous efforts being made by Gov
ernor Whitman and his friends for
Perkins as we'll as the advertising and
speaking campaign which the ap-
pointee himself is carrying on. They
are confident that in spite of the ell
forts not a vote will be changed next
week.
II is predicted that the sessions OF
the Senate will sizzle with charges and
counter charges and bitter personal at
tscks.

The South and Revenue.

ness circles the Houses work is viewed
not only with displeasure but alarm.
In his final appeal to the House, Mr..
Kitchin said the President had assured
him that, contrary to report, he did not
desire the Senate to make changes in
the bill. But he did not say that il
changes were made he would reject the
bill as changed.
We may assume from the record that
he would not do that. As The Star men

tion Of German submarines. It Is graft
flying to find that the United States is
already rendering assistance in this cam
paign for the safety Of the sea. II en-
tered the war on tho score Of Germany's
ruthlessness in conducting submarine
warfare, and it is fitting that its first
blows should be struck at the agency Of
devastation which that power is SO wan
tonly employing.
There is reason for reinsurance in
these recurring reports Of diminished
il not continuously diminishing subma-
rine distinctions, especially as there are
promises Of even better results to come,
from the employment Of improved
methods and devices. Evidence accumu-
lates that the German boast Of peace
making through submarine ruthlessness
is an idle one, and that this last de-
pendence Of the Teutonic powers for the
forcing of a peace upon German terms
is futile.

quires every man in Washington, what

business, or his nationality, to register

twenty-one years of age and has not
reached thirty-one. There is no exemp-
tion from registration between these

one within that limit to raise any ques-
tion about the matter. Every man sup
posedly knows how old he il, and, there
fore, it is up to the individual to de-
eide whether or not he is subject to reg
astration. If he decides wrongly or if he
evades registration, he is subject to i'm
prisonment without the alternative of

Inasmuch as every man within these
ages is obliged to register, he should in

Waning Submarine Power.

One month was the time set by the
German advocates of ruthless submarine
warfare for bringing England to her
knees through starvation, when the pol
icy was declared late in January. When
the sinkings failed to reach figure sig
nifying devastation Of British sea traf-
6c the time was advanced another
month. Later it was confidently as
serted in Berlin that by the 1st Of June
the seas would be swept clear of ships
and England would be pleading for
peace. That date is now one week off,
and there is no sign of British sur
render. On the contrary, for three
weeks past the submarine sinkings have
fallen to the lowest points of the rec
ord since the ruthless campaign was
started, and it is known that the cam
paign against the undersea boats has re.
and distinctions. October / is now set
in Berlin as the limit Of British endur-
ance. The day Of peace through piracy
is thus a movable feast.
During the week just reported on by
the British admiralty eighteen vessels
of over 500 tons and nine under that
size have been sunk. In that time 1854
vessels arrived at British ports and 2,759
sailed. The sinkings were about 44-100
Of per cent of the total sailines and
arrivals. This small fraction Of destruc-
tion is assuredly not desperate menace

A Discovery,


A city feller stopped awhile at Pohick
on the Crick.
Says he, ~ want to see you folks with
such funny trick
Of wearing untrimmed whiskers. whit
tling sticks or chewing straws,
While sitting round the store discussing
strategems and laws
I'd like to hear the dialect from Hiram,
Zeb or Josh
The quaint colloquialisms, such as Dern

Jed Tunkins listened to him with q yery
patient smile.
And said, perhaps you'll see 'em if
you'll stick around awhile"
The city chap hung round the store till
evening shadows fell.
The people didn't waste their time who
came to buy or sell. .
When he started conversations all that
any one would say
Was, Friend, you must excuse me, but
this is my busy day"
The stranger took his notebook out and
scribbled with sigh,
"The picturesqucness Of our rural life
is passing by.
The farmer doesn't whittle, wasting
time as well as stick,
And no ono ever says by Roshp 1t Po-
hiek on the Crick."

The President.

Recently, according to report, when
several influential legislators called at
tie White House by invitation to dis
euss the pressing questions Of the hour,
he President asked them to speak in all
{rankness. He wanted the benefit OF
their fullest information and their
plainest opinions. They obliged him.
A man occupying the White House is
at disadvantage respecting the public.
He is seldom in intimate touch with it.
He is hedged in by eeremony-is in a
stiited position. So many persons ap-
psvach him for favors. All who ap-
yroach him manifest in some pronounced
wy respect for his Office. He gets too
many rosy accounts Of things. Every
effort is made to shut out the disagree
able, when at times it is important that
he should know the very things being
concealed from him.
If this is true in times Of peace it is
doubly true now. Surely the President
stands IN need Of the fullest possible
knowledge, not only Of what is going
ON, but Of popular interpretations Of pub
1ic performances. So much centers in
him. So white light beats upon his
every word and act. So heavy is the
burden he bears, and so necessary is it
that he be kept well advised Of currents
of popular thought.
Mr. Wilson's load has been heavy ever
since he assumed Office. He has had to
perform his executive functions, and in
addition arbitrate good many differ
ences arising among his party friends in
Congress. --
At present, of course, the load is
heavier than at any previous time. Many
new things have been "put up to" him.
'Iet the President do it." is often ad-
vised in matters of great difficulty.
IF the President is to do anything with
success and satisfaction. to himself it
must be in the light of facts. And for
facts he is in very large measure de-
pendent on his callers, whether they be
Of one party or the other, or of neither
party. He has neither the time nor the
facilities for gathering the facts for
himself
One caller at the White House should
be as frank as another; and all should
be frank. It is assumable that the
President wants to know whatever it is
to his interest to know, whether agree
able or not. At time like the present,
when turmoil and confusion are every
where, and the quickest faculties are re-
quired to lay course, the President
has the strongest claims on all who visit
him in the public behalf.

Americas Message to France.

Suppose this country were directly at
grips with foreign enemy, whose
troops had invaded our land and were
destroying cities and savagely oppress-
ing our people within the range Of their
field of operations, wantonly wrecking
age old monuments and works Of art,
menacing the very national life. And
suppose we had found an ally in France
and had sent mission of distinguished
statesmen and soldiers there to confer
and advise and arrange for financial and
material aid. And then our delegates
had returned safely home and told of a
spontaneous, enthusiastic, ardent vel
come, with countless tokens of partisan
ship and sympathy, with rich credits and
valuable gifts for the succor of our
stricken people and the support of the
children orphaned by the war and the
rebuilding of devastated cities. Would
it not thrill us as peoplef
Consider the message Viviani and
Joffre and their associates Of the French
mission are now conveying to their peo-
pie. What encouragement they can give
to the French nation! They bear the
most substantial tokens Of direct and
practical support. They have tales to
tell of cheering multitudes in every city
they have visited, of streets lined with
people waving the banner Of France, of
public schools closed to give the chill
dren a chance to see and cheer them, of
speeches breathing the spirit Of active
American partnership in the war for
human rights, of charities for the sup
port of the stricken dwellers in France,
of unquestioning credits in vast sums
for the supply Of munitions, Of speedy
response to the call for troops.
The message borne by Viviani and
Joffre to their people is one Of victory.
France, thus assured Of the unlimited
support Of the United States in funds,
in forces and in sympathy, is strength
ened as perhaps a nation fighting for its
life was never before heartened.

A Liberty Bond as an Investment.

A liberty bond is as good as money.
1t is indeed better than money, because
it is earning interest and cash money
does not earn interest until it is in
vested. Any time the owner of one of
these bonds wants to turn it into cash,
to meet some emergency, he can do so
easily. There is always a market for a
government bond. If you decide to buy
one Of these securities and later find it
necessary to turn it into funds you can
find purchaser for it without the
slightest difficulty. You will always get
par value for it, and you may get
premium.
So there is no reason whatever why
person with little money to spare from
immediate necessities should not turn
that cash into the Treasury as a 31h
per cent loan. 1t will be just like put
ting it into bank as savings deposit
at Interest, save that the owner of the
bond gets the interest directly twice
year, whereas a savings deposit accumu-
lates its interest in the bank.
There is another advantage of lib
erty bond. The owner of such a bond
can always borrow money on it. 1t is
one of the best forms of security for a
loan. Banks will lend on it up to prob
ably 80 per cent of the face value.
In these circumstances it is not only
patriotic, but good business to bay a
liberty bond. 1t is perfectly safe, easily
convertible into cash and makes the best
of security. The purchase of one of
these bonds may be the first step toward
prosperity and financial independence.
