A recent number of the Official Bull letin, the daily paper issued by the government press bureau at Washing ton. D, C., contains the interesting statement that the first export license issued by the government under the rules and regulations of the War Trade Board, was granted to Captain Raould Amundscn the famous Nor wegian explorer and the first man to reach the South Pole. and permits him to secure fuel. oil and food sup plies for his forthcoming North Pole expedition, which is expected to pro- ceed to the North by way of Bering Sea next year
 An amusing feature of the permit granted by the War Trade Board is hat 1t deslgnates the North Pole as the destination of the exported artic- les. In the case of the food supplies, the permit states that permission Is granted to export 292 cases of food etutrs from the United States consign- ed to "Raould Amundsen at the North Pole"
 The achievements of Capt Amundsen nre of especial interest to many old time Nomeites who remember his visit to the city at the conclusion of 1is famous trip through the North west Passage some years ago.

CARRIES UMBRELLA FOR LUCK
Postmaster General BurIeson is Never
Seen Without His Disreputable
Looking "Shower Stick"

The postmaster general, Mr.. Burle-
son, always carries an umbrella. No
matter when or where he goes, invari-
ably he carries shower stick" with
hin-and 1t is a disreputable looking
one at that. The closed umbrella has
dlngy green cover and crooked
handle and bulges out at the bottom as
If peck of greens or dressed
chicken were concealed therein.
Friends of Mr. Burleson have tried
repeatedly to break him of the um-
brella-carrying habit, says the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. He scorns their
appeals. Admirers have given him at
least a dozen umbrellas since he be-
came member of the presidents cab
met, hoping that he would discard the
old one that Is his constant compan-
ion. but he has never carried any of
them, so far as has been observed. He
clings to the old one, for some reason
or other.
When he was asked by an inquisitive
admirer why he always carried an UNI
brella in preference to cane or swag-
ger stick-now the rage among army
officers in Washington-Mr. Burleson
smiled and merely said:
"Oh, it's just hobby Of mine.

TAKING OVER THE RAILROADS
Secretary McAdoo, the Presidents
Son-in-Law, Will Be Boss of All
the Railroads After Friday

President Wilson today issued a
procl. nation taking over the control
of the railroads of the United States
and placing them in the hands of his
son-in-law, Secretary McAdoo. The
latter is not going to loosen his grip
on the important political position at
the head of the treasury, however, but
will continue in both positions.
Our country is entering upon the
most peculiar experiment ever tried
in government. 1t is trying to join
effectively in the fight against Ger
many by arousing the sentiment of
the people against the capitalization
of power in the Kaiser, and at the
same time insisting to them that the
only way to obtain efficiency in our
own admin tration is to ccntralize
c.. ol in one man, and that man in
each case absolutely in control of Mr..
Wilson. This may be the wiscst
cour1e 70 pu4 sue--lonowing nothing OF
railoading or national conditions we
are not able to say as to that-but it
is certainly Going to be hard to con-
vince the American people, because
when all is known they are all Mis-
sourians at heart. 1t is at least a
very drastic case of fighting the devil
with his own fire. The latest expon-
ent of Jeffersonian democracy would
make the celebrated author of the
Declaration of Independence turn over
in his grave. His famous motto "Give
the people as little government as
they can get along with" is now
made to read: Give the people all
the government they will stand and
keep it in the family"
