No Dictatorship Desired.

In his demand for unlimited power
in dealing with foreign affairs, Presi
dent Wilson furnished the strongest
argument in favor Ct an extraordinary
session Of Congress. In his opening
sentence he declared that we are
moving through critical times during
which it seems TO me to be my duty
to keep in close touch with the houses
Of Congress, so that neither counsel nor
action shall run at cross purposes be.

an excuse for saking penary power, he
said that 1T would take an unusal
time to assemble and organize the
Congress which is to succeed" the
present.
Since the constitution vests in Con.
gress alone the power TO declare war,
and since ii is also true that we are
passing through critical times during
which il is the Presidents duty 10 keep
10 close touch with Congress, there is
every reason why the new Congress
should be Immediately convened.

These Suggestions Will Help In The Cam

(2) Endeavor TO prevent flies from
breeding or feeding on the premises.
Some flies will escape because they
will breed in decayed vegetable matter
or in the drOppings Of ANIMALS in the
pastures. However these will be al
most negligible,
(3) Fly traps are essentinal, They
catch the flies coming from breeding
places and thus prevent their migrat-

Postmaster General Burleson recon-
mended that the service be discontin

ed appropriation Tor automobiles.
When the House OF Representatives
renewed the appropriation, Burleson
wanted the matter left in his hands to
make terms with the tube company,
which would mean that he would make
terms they could not accept. The
Senate not only stood by the appropri
alton but added a clause directing the
postmaster general to renew the con.
tract for a year.
Congress could not have acted more
wisely. For a number o! years the
head Of the post Office department has

Don't Forget The Children.

There should be no partisan thought
nor partisan action in connection with
the measures OF the childrens code,
which should now be before the Mis-

vote upon their passage. These are
measures that appeal to all men with
hearts in their breasts. They are
founded upon a sentiment that is well
nigh universal, and they have in them
elements OF justice aud economical
values that should weigh heavily in
the scale OF legislative judgment. An
immense amount OF laborious investi

A Serious situation.

The sinking oI the Laconia is strik'
ing and convincing proof that the Ger
man government is putting unrestrict'
ed submarine warfare into operation,
Secretary Lansing is reported 10 have
said it was a clear violation OF inter
national law. Il was sunk without
warning, and was just as ruthless in its
manner and intention as the destruction
Of the Llsitania. Il remains to be
seen what effect it will have upon our
government. That it will quicken the
action by Congress there can be no
doubt, bat jlst what form that action
shall take has not been determined at
this writing, I, is great and exceed
ingly delicate question that is before
the National Assembly. NJ one, we
are quite sure, desires 10 cripple the
president in any way, nor to withhold
any proper power or funds for the ad'
equate protection Of American rights.
But he has asked for an indefinite au
thorl,Y in addition 10 spaci6c powers,
and there is a natural and justifable
reluctance 10 grant authorities which
could not be recalled without kowing
what was being granted. The spacifc
powers the president asks for he al
ready has, as he admitted, but the fact
that he asked for them, and also lor a
blanket commission as well as sufficient
funds for any contingency, makes it
necessary for Congress TO take some
action in the matter, and its action
must be, in general, in line with the
presidents wishes or the members will
be charged with distrust or disloyalty.
Yet Congress has responsibilities Of its
own which it has sworn to uphold, ard
it cannot escape from them by putting
them on other shoulders. 1t is deli
cate problem.
But there is the more important
question Of the rights and duties Of the
new Congress that comes into exist
ence next Sunday-for it will exist,
even if it cannot meet until next De
cember. unless the president chooses
to call it together EARLIER. For nine
months the president will stand as the
supreme and only power in the AmeTi-
can Government at a time when it
needs all the strength and power it can
command. Congress without his
order conveniDg it will be impotent.
Patriotic Americans cannot look upon
such a condition with complacency.
II the president were surrounded by
strong official advisers whom the pee
pie could trust, and were disposed tc
listen 10 advice, there would be les;
perturbation, but he thinks and act;
alone, and the past is no indication o.
in!allible wisdom. Globe Democrat,

As To Armed Neutrality.

Since the great war opened the lay
man has been puzzled by the beWider'
ing phases and varieties cl neutrality.
It now ranges from neutrality in
thought armed neutrality. The
former was purely psychological, but
the latter has a meaning in internaiion-
al law, although it has usually implied
a concert OF neutral powers. The favor
ite historical example is afi rded py
the league called The armed neutral
ity". It was during our revolutionary
war which had lively European end,
with France and Spain agains: Eug-
land, that England began TO encroach
on the maritime rights Of neutrals.
The empress OF Russia issued cele-
brated declaration on the last day Of
February, 1880, setting out "princip
les" under which her naval comman-
ders would be instructed to protect the
neutral rights Of her subjects. Russia
was promptly and warmly support
ed by Denmark, Sweden, Holland,
Austria, Portugal and the two Sicilies,
while France and Spain gave the dec
laration the most cordial and unequiv
ocal appreciation" Great Britain re-
cognized the principles" in the trea-
ty with France at Versailles on Sept
ember 3 1873. But during the Ma
poleonic wars, Great Britain gave in
structions 10 naval commanders and
privateers in direct conflict with the
principles, A new league Of armed
neutrality was organized in 1900, com
posed Of Russia, Sweden Denmark and
Prussia. which reasserted the declara-
ton Of 1880, and added new clauses
extending the privileges Of neutrals.
The key note was the demand for
free seas and free ships" which every
nation processes in theory, but which
some queerly interpret in practice.
Our adoption Of armed neutrality
would not theoretically impair the per
lection Of our neutrality. We would
show no benevolence 10 the entente
allies, They could not receive aid
from our government and they could
not raise armies, fit out war vessels
or do any other heretofore for
bidden thing in our territory or wat
ers. We would merely protect ouI
merchant ships against violations Of in
teynational law. We threatened this
in the first Adams administration
against France aud made many prep
arations 10 carry it out. 1t need pot
lead TO war but it might. That woult
depend on how the other country took
it.--Globe Democrat.

Salt Rising Bread is Greatest in NHtrl'
.iOn.

In our enthusiasm for the easy way
we are losing sight Of many Of the old
time methods Of cookery which are
valuable and which with very little
care and thought may be made easy.
Among these is the making oI salt
rising bread,
Yeast bread used TO be more or less
OF an experiment-now with it is SCI
ence The housewife purchases her
cake OF yeast and with measured in
gradients is practically certain Of her
result.
Salt rising bread was up TO several
years ago in the experimental stage.
The housewife knew that she boile /
one cup Of milk and poured it over
one fourth cup Of corn meal ard left it
in a warm place, and that it sometimes
grew light. II it grew light she add
ed more milk and flour and made it in
10 mos, palatable bread. The leaven
was explained in various ways, usually
by saying that wild yeast had fallen in.
We now know that salt rising bread is
made light not by yeast but by bacter
| ia introduced into the corn meal.
These have been isolated and there
are at presen pure cultures Of these
organisms being used in bakeries il the
preparation Of the commercial salt !is-
ing bread.
These bacteria grow best at higher
temperature than yeast requires so the
bread is set at about ten or fifteen de-
gyees higher. Since this leaven loses
its strength if kept in liquid form, it
must be dry form il TO be kept.
Salt rising bread has several distinct
advantages, the development Of desir
able favor in the bread, and much
more even velvety texture than is ob
tanned in yeast bread, and much les
loss Of nutritive value oi the bread il
, fermentation. In raising yeast breaC

The Reason.

Some Of the cuckoo supporters Of
the administration are trying to find
out what is the matter with the Ameri-
can people that they do not rush for
ward to the assistance OF the President.
They point out that Lloyd George al
ways secures the cooperation OF Eng
lishmen in whatever he undertakes 10
do, whereas Wilson is always conhont
ed with opposition.
The answer is simple. Lloyd Geo
rye knows what he wants to accomp'
lish, knows substantially how he will
try to accomplish it, and he tells the
House OF Commons in plain and Wig
orous language what his purposes are.
Mr.. Wilson, on the other hand, has
never known what he intends to do in
any exact sense, he has hut vogue
notious Of the methods Of doing what.
ever he has meditued, and he has
never taken Congress into his conf
dence in any manner so that the leg
islators could frame an act upon a
definite measure Of support Tor him.
Compare Lloyd Georges speech in
Parliment with Mr.. Wilson'S speech to
Congress. for instance. Lloyd George
told the Commons exictly what the
British Empire was up against, he
pointed out the remedy, he gave chap
ter and vers for what he had to say,
he summoned British support 10 the
government in trumpet tones. Mr.
Wilson blew both hot and cold in hi
speech. He advocated paci6sm, ht
hinted al war. He told ol our duty

He asked for both general and spacf

and the country in doubt regarding
what had happened and regarding
what he thought might happen.

Brand New Way TO
Remove Hairy GroWths
entirely New and instantaneous
Method

By the introduction in this country
Of what is known as the "phelactine
process" any woman can now rid her
self completely Of annoying superflu-
Gus hair or fuzz. The process is en-
tirely new, different from all others,
and far better-because it actually re-
moves the roots, as well as the sur
face hair! 1t is instantaneous, per-
fectly harmless, odorless and nom
irritating.
just get a stick Of phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple di-
rections-and see the hair roots come
out, with your own eyes! No depil-
atory or electrical treatment can pro-
duce this result. The skin is left soft,
smooth and hairless as chilo's. Phe-
lactine can be used with absolute
safety-one could even eat it with i'm
punity. If it doesn't do exactly as
claimed you can have your money
back without question--Adv.

CONGRESS- "WAR RESOLUTIONS

We should know the exact shade Of
meaning regarding wha' congress in
tends doing relative to the German
submarine situation.
The president is to detail how Ger
many has been waging ruthless de-
struction to American lives and prop
erty OH the high seas.
Congress is expected then to pass
a resolution declaring a estate Of
war; has existed between the United
States and Germany for some time.
This resolution itself will not be .

thing.
The United States will take further
steps to protect itself Oh the high

Whether war will come to exist n
it's full sense will depend upon con-
tinued fragrant acts Of the emperial
