the political excitement Of the win

equally brilliant and successful. Be-

ago, the French opera house has
been open every season and with
average success. Not always has 1t
been given over to opera, however,
in the last decade or SO.
During the last few years earnest
attempts have been made to restore
the former prestige, and popularity

become, with the passing years, more
American and less French. There

AN ASSET FROM THE WAR.

Secretary Houston says that one great asset
to this country from the conditions which
make agricultural efficiency of paramount i'm
portance will be permanent increase IN that
efficiency What such increased efficiency
would mean may be roughly calculated from
some figures recently published by the govern
ment bureau Of commerce statistics. The short
age of labor the farms Of the country is
estimated at one million workers and the trend
toward the manufacturing industries and I'M
productive employments such as clerical work
and professions is shown to be rapidly increas
ing. AS cause for this shortage compare
tive showing of capital, labor and profits be-
tween the manufacturing industries and farm
ing is given. The farm population Of the ma
ton is thirteen million; the investment in farms
is forty billion dollars The gross annual re-
turn from farms is eight and one-half billion
dollars The industrial population of the ma
ton is seven million; the industrial investment
twenty-four billion dollars. The gross annual
return is twenty-eig ht billion dollars, Here we
heve return of twenty and one quarter
per cent from the farms and one of one hun
dred and sixteen per cent from industries.
What Secretary Houston argues is that we are
not getting too much from our industries but
TOO little from our farms. The cause for the
great comparative profit of the industries is
their compact cooperative organization which
is possible in suitable form to production of
raw materials. We are now IN the process OF
making an emergency organization to secure
ON the land the efficiency already common to
the shop If we succeed and the organization
becomes permanent, there can be no doubt OF
IFS great national benefits not the least of
which would be better distribution of popula-
ton and greater stability of labor.

postmasters, Graft

Coon Rapids Enterprise: The Car
roll Herald, with some other papers, is
pretty severe in condemnation of the
postmaster general for awarding post
masters SIS each for every boy they
recommend for service in the navy.
They pronounce it graft, raid upon
the public treasury and unpatriotic.
That postmasters are in the employ Of
the government on a good salary and
should do all they can to aid the gov
eminent free of charge, the same as
are the newspapers, the banks which
helped in the sale Of Liberty bonds
and the incessant toilers in Red Cross
work. The postmasters did not ask
for the money thus thrown to them,
and being given to them they natural
ly feel, we presume, that they are in
some manner entitled to it. but they
ought not to accept it, or, if they do,
Immediately give it to the Red Cross.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Colonel

that one-horse admiralty lawyer by
