SAM OLD STORY.

The Presidents well-nigh fatal in
capacity to select men of large cali
Der for places of great responsibility
is again shown in the choice he has
made for the personnel of the new
board which will administer the huge
government fund to be invested in
new securities for the business world.
The men appointed for this task have
thus far had no wide experience in
any line which especially fits them
for the great task which they must
take up; and there are grave doubts
in the highest financial circles regard
ing their ability to discard the pa
rochial point of view which their
training indicates. The new board
will have powers almost Of life and
death to all the industries of the ma.
tion-and such powers should be com
mitted only to men who have the
broadcast vision and the widest exper.
fence and the soundest judgment. 1t

CLERK

A bill has been reported to the Sen
ate by Hon. Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey, that will mean much
to the hundreds of Army Field Clerks
that have been taken into the military
service in the past few months. The
measure increases the minimum sal
airy of Field Clerks from $1,000 to
$1,000, and grants Communication OF
quarters to such of them as have a
wife, child, or dependent parent. The
measure already has the approval of
the War Department, the Adjutant
General having been consulted in the
preparation of the bill. Mr.. Freling-
huysen appends the written endorse
ment of the Department to his report,
and is confident that he will be able
to get the bill through the Senate at
an early date.

NOW, e US SEE.

Having secured the passage of the
Overman bill and, to that extent. hav-
ing secured a "vindication", it now re-
mains for the President to vindicate
himself and the Overman bill by max
ing use of the measure in such wise
as to justify his insistence in demand
ing the autocratic powers which it car
ries. To enact laws will not alone
win the war, to grant power to the
executive will not alone win the war.
1t will be in the exercise of the pow
ers granted and in the execution of
the laws enacted that the real test
will come. Thus far there have been
many laws badly carried out, huge
appropriations half-expended and, in
many cases, largely wasted. Since
the Overman bill had to be, it is to be
hoped that it's results will warrant all
that has been claimed for it.

rHE BIRDS

Birds are the most effective protec-
ton against insect pests. Wherever
bird life is reduced to a minimum farm
ers and gardeners suffer. The boil
weevil of the cotton states and other
insect pests that affiict the South,
could be kept in check by quail and
other birds that feed on them. The
house wren is the great destroyer of
moths. Almost every destructive in
sect is the natural food of some ma
tive bird, and game birds are among
the best of these protectors. The no.
BILE and now practically extinct wild
turkey eats grasshoppers and locusts
In preference to all other food, as does
his domesticated descendant. It would
astonish city jewellers to see the scien-
tifc drive a flock of turkeys will make
through a field infested with grass
hoppers. The whole country should
unite to protect our feathered friends,
a New York Commercial. If the
destruction of birds Is not checked
many beautiful and useful species will
soon be extinct. We owe it to our
selves and those who come after us to
preserve the balance of nature which
has never been upset without inflicting
heavy losses upon mankind.

PASSING OUT CROWNS.

The Finnish government, what
ever that may be, is reported to have
offered the crown of Finland to Prince
Oscar, fifth son of the kaiser. If the
report be true, the offer displays a due
appreciation, an honest gratitude. for
the service which the kaiser has gra-
ciously rendered in relieving Finland
from Russian oppression and offering
it the full measure of seE-determina-
ton which the good German sword Is
winning for all peoples. Like a true
knight Grant, Germany has gone to
Finland's rescue, bringing order out of
disorder, laying a truly Roman peace
on the land, with never a thought of
reward. And now, 10, a throne Is Of
fered. True, the throne of Lithuanla
had hitherto been promised for Prince
Oscar, but another son will do as well
for that. After all, what is a throne
between princes? Two thrones. even
half a dozen thrones, are no more than
q just reward for such thrift as the
kaiser has shown. Six sons he had In
1914, and six he has today, says Bos-
ton Globe. Every n of them, from
Frederick William down to Joachim,
has been saved for the German people.
Not another father In all Germany
can say as much.

The federal department of labor has
undertaken to organize a means Of
bringing together employers of agri-
cultural labor and persons seeking op-
portunity to engage in work on the
land. Large posters advising farmers
to give their requirements for farm
labor for the coming season to their ru-
raj route carrier, postmaster or coun-
ty farm agent are being distributed by
the department. Persons who desire
farm work are urged to enlist with
these representatives of the govern
ment. There are 1000 farm agents
who, together with $4,000 rural car
riers and third and ~fourth-class post
masters, give the department approx
imately 100000 agents. These agents
have been supplied with the necessary
blanks. The experiment car do no
harm and may produce practical re-
suits.
