TAFT TO THE FORE.

Former President Taft is to speak In many
southern and western cities on behalf OF pre-
paredness; and this is news to encourage patri-
otto citizens Mr.. Taft will speak with pres
tige of Influence second to that OF no man IN
the country on this subject. He has been our
chief executive; he has been secretary OF war;
he is a devoted American and lover OF peace.
But with complete knowledge OF this govern
ment's status in the matter of defense and a
wide acquaintance with world affairs, he is CIV
ing up plans made for other activities to under
take this mission of education as patriotic
duty.
How much mischief Mr.. Bryan has been do
ing in his personally profitable lecture actlvl-
ties is not. perhaps, generally appreciated. For
wears he has as lecturer been spreading a
doctrine of national flacidity which has found
considerable welcome by an amiable and IN
disturbed public in the south and west. he
stands discredited today, but it is well that Mr..
Taft should be heard as spokesman for the
vigorous natonalism that this people really
mean to assert when once reused from apathy.

No Demand for ExpIanations.

Cummins and Kenyon are entitled to
make all the explanations they choose
regarding their association with the
tilibuster by Senator La Toilette and
Stone.
They may make their explanations
by mail or telegraph Or by word OF
mouth at any point selected. There
is no censorship. They should use
their influence to persuade their most
subservient political followers to re-
frain from making further explana-
tons or from enlarging upon those al
ready made. Efforts in that direction
have been Of low power in argument.
The Iowa senators have not much
to say that can be said wit.: henefit
to themselves and IL it Is any part of
their object to convince Iowa people
that they have been correctly repre-
scented in the United States senate the
idea Of explanation should be aband-

What SAVINGS viii DO.

Sioux City Tribune: Money, like
another well advertised article with
which almost everyone Is familiar,
works while you sleep. 1t works
with a determined assiduousness
which is hard to realize. even when
pencil and paper is employer to tell
in indisputable figures the wonders
of compound interest
Henry Torborg sat down in the
early days of his career and thought
this out. Then he got busy, and when
he died day or two ago he left be-
hind him 100000 which he had &C
cumuulated while retaining his place
as a street car conductor In Chicago.
It took Torborg long, long time
to get started: in fact, It required
four years for him to save his first
$500. He was 10 years old when his
savings reached that amount Then
he shifted pretty often from one job
to another. but always he kept in
mind the necessity Of leaving his
principal untouched, OF keeping it
steadily in harness and working for
his future. Finally he came to Chi
cago and invested his earnings in
real estate. At the same time he
secured the position as street car
conductor which he was holding
when he died.
Many years ago the interest from
his accumulated earnings would have
made it possible for him to retire
and lead 4 modest existence withou

Sioux City Journal: The report
was that the attorney general had

was being used to promote the sale
of 1t. Whether or not there was any
basis for this report has not been
disclosed, but a later official ruling
from the attorney generals Office ap-
piled only against use of the flag as
an, obvious advertising device. The
flag at the editorial masthead carries
the same message as the flag on the
staff of the building occupied by q
newspaper or any other business es-
tablishment. There Is some adver-
Using in connection with its use in
either case, but 1t is advertising of
patriotic rather than commercial
value.

PATRIOTISM BEFORE sELFIsHNEss.

No matter how threatening to business NJ
terests is the ntimation of the heads OF the rail-
road brotherhoods that progressive strike
is soon to be inaugurated, in face Of the fact
that the question of the constitutionality of the
Adamson law has not yet been decided by the
supreme court Of the United States, it must be
admitted that deep down in the hearts of the
railroad employees is that feeling Of national
patriotism which may seem at times to. have
been dormant The chiefs Of the train1nen 8
brotherhoods have notified President Wilson
that the government would not be embarrassed
by a strike in case the United States was
drawn into he war. Organized labor, includ-
ing the railroad brotherhoods, has made clear
it's purpose to stand squarely behind the gov
eminent, and no intelligent person will question
it's good faith.

Council BLUFFS Nonpareil: No citi-

of criticizing the government Ior

Indeed, there has been much and just
criticism of administrations at dill

cast into the discard in a scramble TO
get into the treasury. The demand
Of the nation is for a dollars worth
Of efficiency for every dollar raised
from the people.
But insistence on full value re-

rot in any sense countenance sense
less campaign to make showing or

of service. And with particular force
does this apply at present to the
efforts of the postoffice admin1stra-

What the United States wants is
the most efficient mail service COM
patible with the needs of the coun-
try and the money expended there
for. And until recently this has been
largely what we have had. There
have been some pork barrel
methods employed in connection with
the department-such as exorbitant
compensation for certain service and
material purchased. Not every dol
lar spent in the past has seen its
equivalent returned in either service
or supplies, but in the main the eff
cheney of the department did not
suffer.
The efforts of the present postal
administration, however, are being
directed In the wrong direction. Re-

wrought, the energies of the postal

PUT AMERICANS ON GUARD.

The sxty-fifth congress having been called
for mid April it becomes of immediate i'm
portance to consider how the house shall be or
ganized and what changes in senate commit
tees must be made.
Neither party can elect speaker by strict
party vote Each lacks two or three of ma
jority and must look to the other party or to
the five independents for aid. The suggestion
has been made that both parties unite in the
election of a speaker and the organization of
the house. and it is not impossible that this may
be done iii case our armed neutrality grows in
to war before congress convenes. All petty
matters would in that case be subordinated to
the one idea of backing the president with all
the power and patriotism of the land.
Under the present practice the speaker shorn
OF his power to name the standing committees
is only presiding officer and not a car as
heretofore. 1t would make little difference,
therefore, what patriotic American was speak
er If bipartisan committee invested with
all real power But for the honor of the coun-
try it is of the highest Importance that no such
misrepresentation of the American people as
Congressman Mann of Illinois should be lifted
to the speakers chair; and it is no less impera-
tive that Senator Stone of Missouri be removed
from the committee foreign relations. To
maintain armed neutrality with Germany or 70
carry on a war with such notorious and m
bushing pro-Prussians as Mann and Stone in
high positions in our national legislature vnuld
be preposterous. For the American peopIe
could never be sure that they would not 90 even

FINAL BLOW TO OPIUM.
It is Now Being Delivered by Gov
eminent Of China.

Literary Digest: THE curse of
centuries will soon vanish from

which tells us that after March 31st
the opium traffic must cease abso-
lutely. Up to the present time opium
could be imported into China from
India under a treaty with Great Brit
ian signed in 1911, and this traffic
was the monopoly os tho ssiiiasihi Si
opium combine. The Clark univers-
ity Journal OF Race Development
discusses the question at some length
and says:
anticipating the end of the opium
connection with Great Britain. the
Chinese government recently COM
municated with the British minister
in Picking, requesting that British
envoy be deputed to China to head an
investigation into the opium suppress.
sion campaign in China. At the same
time circulars were sent to all the
provinces preparing them for the
impending complete extripation Of the
traffic as follows: "a All the
opium plantations in the land were
ordered to be swept away during q
period Of three months from Septem-
Der to November, 1916; (2) the

stopped between December, 1916, and
March, 1917; CD smoking of opium
is to cease in period of three
months from March to June, 1917"
1t would seem that these provisions
are received with popular favor, for

most spectacular affairs. A large
quantity of opium was gathered to-

hands on, invitations were issued, and
a delegate from the National Opium
