Major general U. s. A. and for quarter
Of a century distinguished as a military
authority.
Major General Leonard Wood said
the other day to Columbia graduates:
1--WE are cursed with too much money.
A fat dog cannot fight; fat sleek ma
ton, loaded with too much money and
too little principle, will not do the right
thing"
These are strong words from General
Wood. Though unrestrained in tone
they are sound in substance.
OF course, General Wood does not
mean the average American is cursed
with too much money He means a
few rich Americans are cursed with
too much money. He knows that the
average citizen has an income well
under thousand dollars year. And
neither General Wood nor anybody else
ought to worry about a man getting
fat, soft or unprincipled through the
corrupting influence Of wealth, while
he is raising a family on $275 a day.
It can't be done at that figure.
The fact is the farmer, clerk, wage
Garner, small business and professional
man has not been getting rich during
the war. He may have been getting
more income, but his income buys leso.
according to Official figures, the cost
of living has gone up IS per cent. in
he last two years.

The noblest men know on earth

Who, backed by no ancestral gifts,
Hew down the woods and till the soil
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows kings or warriors! fame.
The workingmen, whate'er their task,
Who carry stone or bear the hod
Reveal upon their honest brows
The royal seal and stamp of God;
And worthier are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds on the coronet.
God bless the noble workingrlen
Who build the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines and build the slips
And drive the commerce of the main!
God bless them, for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands!

Suppose every man of the 100000
trade unionists in this country consid-
cred it crime to buy prison products
or scab labor products; suppose the
merchants knew every penny of the
$1,500,000,0O0 spent by these trade un-
ionists would be spent only for union
goods. What would you see? Every
store in this broad land patronized by
workingmen would have a big union
label over its door. Merchants would
themselves advertise the union label,
and manufacturers would produce un-
ion products and hire union labor or go
bankrupt. If union men bought right
they would not have to strike SO much

Fewer Hours, Bigger Output.

The economic argument that indus.
try can thrive only with long day
and that any curtailment of 1t would
be destructive can be met very effec-
lively by the fact that shortening the

most invariably increases the quantity

SHOULD CALL MIR. ROOSEVELT

In This Crisis the Country Need
Him Says Colonel Harvey.
New York, Dec. 29.-In the course.
OF his discussion of the Presidents
record, Colonel Harvey calls atten-
ton IN the North American Review
TO the fact that the administration
has failed to make use of Colonel
Roosevelt as national asset, and en-
phaSlZes the need for broader vision
in national affairs The editor init
mates that President Wilson NAV
nave been thinking of Colonel Roose-
welt when Ae spoke of ''the criticism
and the clamor of the noisy thought
less and troublesome" and imme-
dlately shows how the efforts of the
former President might be turned
to good account in the present crisis.
The time is not far distant when
the government viii need all the helm
1t can get from every intelligent and
patriotic leader of men, from none
more than from Mr. Roosevelt, whose
personal following is still the greatest
and most devoted in the countrv, -
ne writes. I'VE wonder sometimes
whether the President appreciates
how many hundreds of thousands of
loyal citizens feel a sense OF personal
tradegy In the shelving of one who
must be regarded as the most person
ally recognized, if not actually the
foremost, patriot in the land in this
hour of the Nations greatest peril.
Because the country acquiesced IN the
President correct judgment that only
professional soldiers should be en-
thrusted with high commands in France
1t does not follow and it Is not the
fact that the country is pleased to
have Mr.. Roosevelt ignored or is IN
aware of the value Of the unique ser
vice which he might render.
While deprecating, as we do, spec
ulation IS to what might have BEEN
II is folly to disregard the lessons of
experience in seeking true guidance

Swallows Easily Eatiaued.

The mechanism of flight in the swaI-
low is carried through an ascending
scale, until in the swift it reaches its
highest degree, both in endurance and
facility OF evolution Although there
are birds which may. and probably do,
attain to the speed Of $50 miles per
hour, this remarkable rate is not to
be looked for in any of the birds of
the swallow kind. In their migrations
swallows stick close to land, and new
er leave it unless compelled. They
cross straits at the narrowest part, and
are the most easily fatigued of all
birds. Apparently. they have no pow
erS of sustained flight.

Union Pacific Railroad

The Union Pacific Railroad can be
of great assistance at this time to the
homsteaders along its lines, especial
ly in the dry farming districts. This
is the announcement of W. M. JEFF
fers, Vice President and General
Manager
The Union Pacific Railroad will
give employment to homesteaders in
its car shops and round-houses under
the conditions that will enable them
to earn, during the balance of the
season at least, 500 month.
The employment which we have to
offer these men, said Mr.. Joffre, will
make it possible for homsteaders to
replenish their funds during the win
ter months so they will have addition
al cash with which to take up their
work in the spring.
We will cooperate with them in
every way by giving them transporta-
ton back to their homes should they
want to go back to keep a line on the
things at the farm.
If these homesteaders will apply to
the agent at the nearest station or
to the mechanical department at any
district terminal, we will arrange to
ind work for them to do at once. We
will see Of course, that they get trans
portation to the point where the work
is, and home again when it is neces-
sary for them to return to their
farms.
Webelieve that will help out mater
tally in aiding these homesteaders to
do their part in the work of the war
and they will also be doing a work
for the railroad which is essential at
this time.

Coal in the Arctic

A very promising source of coal is
Bear island, in the Arctic ocean, a few
hundred miles from Spitzbergen, but
which has great advantage of the
latter place, also a source of coal, in
asmuch as shipments may be made at
any time of the year. This is owing
to It's location on the edge of the Gulf
stream drift, but as the current meets
cold one from the polar regions, the
island is under a fog almost constant

tends establishing a wireless service
and meteorological station on the
island. It's rock shores are inhabited
by a great variety of seafowl.

1t is impossible to make anything
like a positive statement about the
origin of playing cards. They appeared
in Spain about the year 1879, and from
Spain and France spread all over the
continent; but as to the time or place
OF their origin we are blissfulIy igno-
rant. Many things would seem to in
dictate the French origin of cards.

The Kensington Railway Company
Brought Into Court.

The Public Service Commission of Mary
land has filed in the Circuit Court here a
petition asking the Court to restrain and
enjoin the Kensington Railway Company
of Montgomery county from charging to,
or collecting from. patrons of the road,
which extends from Chevy Chase Lake to
Kensington. in this county. rates, fares and
charges, except those set forth in an order
passed by the Commission May S, 1917.
On complaint of A. N. Dobson and other
residents of Kensineton. the Public Service
Commission directed the Company to fix
the fare between Chevy Chase Lake and
Kensington at cents instead of 7 cents
and to reduce the price Of communication
tickets to rate specified by the Commits
sion. The order became effective July 1,
but has, it is stated, been ignored by the
Company.
A few days ago Mayor Edgar W. Moore,
Of Kensington. and Attorney j. Dawson
Williams addressed letter to the Com
mission calling attention to the neglect Of
the Company to comply with the order and
the filing of the suit followed promptly.
A hearing in the case has been set for
Monday next. July IS.
