clareS Prussian Efficiency is
Oyerrated

WASHINGTON. Nov Germany
has never been Supreme in science,
aud She has been tagging behind Eng
land, France and the United States
i'll discovery. IN creative science and
IN invention, Secretary Houston as
serts in n discussion of The Prus
sian military autocracy, appearing
today III the department Of agricul-
ture 5 weekly newsletter.
Secretary Houston attacks as large
" wrong what he says is the world 5
impression that Germany stands for
the maximum of efficiency in every
thing. Germany 5 particular merit, he
SAYS, is that she has made a system of
science, organized it back of industry
and intelligently and persistentlv APP
piled it back of the industries that are
! Fundamental to military pursuits with
industry organized through every pos
sible form Of state. air or support.
| Describing Prussia as "a great pub
lie corporation for military and indus
| trial purposes, feudal estate writ
large and well administered, the
secretary saws the country is unwhole-
some economically, - strong at the top
and weak at the bottom, in its or
ganization and never has been as ef
fieient as the United States or Great
! Britain whose organization in the main
has been for peace and not for war.
Fame sometimes hath created some
thing of nothing.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Wantcd, compc-

qualify unlimited reward is promised

This is the cry that is going mp from
England.
In the storm of criticism leveled
against the British government the note
constantly appears that the Germans YIELD
molehills in order to conquer mountains
The demand for change is in the agita

soon be made Now is the time if ever

We have got to save the children, not
because we are human people, or like
to be philanthropic, but because we
urgently need young life to insure the
continuance of our race.
Britain may have been overpopulat-
ed during the last century. It has
been so stated, but | do not think this
is a fact; it has only appeared 50 be-
cause of the congestion in towns. We
ceased some years ago to be an agri-
cultural country, and gradually people
tiocked for employment to the towns
and stayed there. After the war, MANY
of US believe, farming will pay and be
an occupation more generally followed.
We therefore need not fear, but should
well come an increased population here
in Britain; and it is absolutely certain
we must endeavor to make up for the
failure of our stream of emigrants to
the overseas dominions during the last
two or three years of war. For in
these dominions there has always been
room and welcome for people from
the old country, and now the popula-
ton has been weakened by the loss
of many sons, there is a very real need
for fresh life-a living stream from the
home country.
"To save lives in war times is fine
aim. Let US mot forget the sinister
fact that at present for every man that
falls in battle, baby dies. So say
the statistics. 1t is our clear duty tC
save that baby to carry on the fine
traditions our men are upholding anC
adding fresh laurels. We have might,
empire and our fighting men would b.
the first to point ont that it should b.
Ipcopled with those of our own breed :

CLIP THIS OUT,

Tells how to take soreness from a corn
and lift it right
out.

Hospital records show that every
time You cut corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
YOU that quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid one s feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops OF
this on tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
" the entire corn can be lifted out
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and Is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri
tating the surrounding tissue or skin
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-Adv.

FARM LOAN BANKS

The Farm Loan Banks are now organi-
zed and it is reported from New Orleans
that q large number Of loans have been ap-
piled for. There will be some delay in
handling these first applications, but in a
few months the kinks will be smoothed out
and the banks will get down to business. In
the alluvial parishes the banks will do a
very limited business On account Of the fact
that the loans needed run in amounts larger
than permitted by the law.
We anticipate that with the protection
Of this section from overflows the holdings
of lands will gradually drift into the hands
of smaller farmers and that the farm banks
will supply the funds for home-seekers. The
passage Of the flood control bill will have a
tendence to make values more stable. The
two measures will work together well and
should be productive of great agricultural
development in this section-where there is
so much idle land The Journal looks for
ward to a splendid future for the alluvial
parishes.

lEVEE BILL PASSED

The flood control bill, contrary to eX
pectations. has passed the senate and the
immaterial amendments proposed IN that
branch have been concurred in by the house.
The passage Of this measure means
more to this section than any legislation
ever proposed. The satisfaction felt by the
people is unbounded, for everyone appre-
ciates the fact that with control of the
floods of the Mississippi will come an era Of
prosperity for the alluvial sections hereto
fore unknown. Real estate values and i'm
provements will become safe and stable, q
condition never before known. The planter
and investor will know that every dollar put
out in this section will be protected and
that there will be no danger Of having i'm
provements washed away at recurring int
tervas.
The press is as profuse in laudatory
expressions Of the work of our representa-
tives as it was condemnatory of their delay
when the death of the measure seemed GER
tain few days ago.
During the critical stage the measure
was handled by Senator Ransdell, who is
given full credit for tact and determination
in forcing its consideration and final passage.
In the final showdown Senator New
lands assumed more conciliatory attitude
towards the measure, and after its passage
admitted that he refrained from using dila-
tory tactics that promised the defeat of the
bill out of personal consideration for sena-
tors Ransdell and Broussard. Hence, after
all, the concessions that Mr.. Ransdell had
urged in his proposed compromise with
Newlands were turned to his advantage and
verified the contention of Senator Ransdell
that Newlands should have been placated.
On this fact opinion may differ but the fact
remains that the measure has been passed
after years of waiting, and the, workers for
the measure in both house and senate are
entitled to the thanks Of their constituents.
Results are what the people expect of
their representatives and in this instance
they have come up to the full requirements.

A SILLY DOCUMENT

The disclosures made in regard to the
scheme of the Kaiser to form an alliance
with Mexico and Japan, the purpose of which
was to wage war against the United States,
finally to dismember the republic and divide
its territory appears too silly on its face to
merit serious consideration. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that even the war mad ruler of Ger
many would be guilty of such puerility. The
proposal was probably intended to arouse
talk and discord in the United States and to
furnish cranks and fanatics something with
which to foment trouble. The German lead
ers, though generally ignorant of affairs in
the western continent, know enough about
the American, to appreciate his disposition
to make mountain out Of a mole-hill and
seized this opportunity to stir up an argu-
ment.
The regretable feature CT the whole
matter is that the denouement should have
occurred at time when the President was
having trouble with moss-backs in congress
and from which the idea will be drawn that
the disclosure was necessary in order to get
congress to do its duty in clothing the Presi-
dent with power to properly handle the
situation with Germany.
Mr.. Lansing declined to give informa-
ton as to how the letter reached the authori-
ties of the United States The manner Of
its receipt may be important, but cur first
guess would be that it got there through the
German diplomat who wrote it with that
intention.

DESOTO ISLAND

Governor Bilbo is still casting amorous
glances at DeSoto Island and recently ex-
pressed the determination to buy the Island
and put it under the protection of his own
State. The Island is really not very valu-
able and no one would care much except for
the fact it would be cruel and inhuman
treatment of its few inhabitants to force

them TO swap governors.
The governor may find some legal
obstacles in hrs way when it comes to
closing the deal. Of course such would not
count for much over his way, but over in
Louisiana they may give him more or less
annoyance.
DeSota Island is the only oasis left
where the Mississippi prohibitionist can
quench his thirst, hence Louisiana will be
reluctant to part with it. We would call the
governors attention to one thing-the pre-
hibitiOnists who have been riding into office
on the liquor issue have about 'nlled the
goose that laid the golden egg" End this
issue and you will end the political career Of
quite bunch of present incumbents.

The good old state of Arkansas con-
tinues to break ethical records. Her latest
claim for distinction grows out of the fact
that she has expelled two members from the
state senate for bribery. 1t was the simple,
harmless kind of bribery in which the sena-
tors sold their votes for the long green. 1t
is hard to say what she would have done to
the wretches if they had sold their votes
for public Office. However, this more serious
type OF the ofense must be unusual in a
state like Arkansas.

The State of Missouri passed a new law

The State of Missouri passed a new law
the other day to increase licenses. 1t is
claimed that this is the first statute that has
been passed in that state for sixteen years.
We take it for granted that Missouri has no
legislature, for it is not conceivable that such
an intelligent body of men could be found
this side of the Jordan.

SUFFRAGISTS
ARE HERO|NES'
Turned Out of Jail at Elk
piration of Sentences;
Guests at Banquet.

Washington, D. C. June 2s.-The six
women suffragists who have done
three days in Jail for picketing the
white house were released this morn
ing at the expiration OF their SEN
fences and were the heroines at a
breakfast given in their honor at
Woman's Party headquarters.
While uniformed police peeked in
through the picket fence Of the
grounds surrounding the suffrage
headquarters, the women were ad-
mired and praised by a hundred en-
thusiasts who pronounced them
martyrs to the cause
The police say they will prevent
further picketing by more arrests and
the suffragists threaten to picket as
fast as the police can arrest them
