RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS.

It is given ont that the president is dis
tinctly opposed to the plan for oongresslon-
al committee TO deliberate on reconstruction
program He prefers committee OF experts
in economic and social problems But does the
country want government by theorists and doc
trinairesf No such body as the president Is
reported to favor is known TO our constitution
nor would it be able to impose its views on
congress, whereas the conclusions OF M-
partisan congressional committee probably
would prevail, If they were well considered and
wise Such committee could call before it
the social and economic experts Of the country,
obtain their views and act upon their sugges-
tions that seemed worth while. We must face
conditions as they are. Congress alone has
power to enact reconstruction program into
law. and viii do So and If bipartisan COM
mittee Of the two houses begins now TO give
the matter thought there will be less dissension
when the measures proposed come up 1t
seems likely that the present majority In the
congress viii be more favorable to this plan in
view Of the fact that In March new majority
viii take the reins Of power.

Greatest of War Mysteries

Second, one Of its engines was Out
OF order and it was proceeding under
the other. This is no unusual cir
oumstance. Indeed, 1t is to meet
such very contingencies that twin
screws are put into ships.
Third. the weather at the time o
its leaving Barbados was normal
and SO continued in that region fol
many days.
Fourth. the cargo. as already men
toned. was large and 1t included ex
ceedingiy heavy material
/ Fifth, it sent out no distress sig
mails.
Sixth, its captain is currently re
ported TO have been of German birth
but naturalized American citizen
and TO have changed his name &c
''Woriey."
Seventh, the most careful search
revealed not even SO much as one
OF its oars floating on the water.
Passing from fact to rumor, it may
be said that the captains wife, In
March last is said to hare stated
that she knew where the Cyciops
was, or would be in very few days
As to the possibilities:
First, the unusually heavy cargo
may have strained the ship. or even
have broken it in two. This is not
likely to have occurred without warn
ing and the opportunity TO call for
aid
Second, the cargo may have shifted
in squalI and have capsized 1t
Third. it may have been sunk by a
torpedo. In this case ii is inconceiv-
able that no wreckage was left on
the face OF the ocean.
Fourth, it is conceivable that a Ger
man submarine, by a skillful shot,
destroyed its wireless apparatus. thus
preventing it from sending out dis
tress signals; but 1t is not easy to
believe that the ship was later sur
rendered without struggle and with
out leaving evidenre of struggle.
Fifth. had II been so surrendered
ii would probably have been turned
into raider. We must remember
that there was no reason at that time
to believe in the presence of German
submarines in these waters, nor since
then has any intelligence reached US
OF the operations there OF a German
raider
Sixth, il has been suggested. or
rather whispered, that the Cyclops is
now in some German port. Against
this must be set the lack of conten-
ton by Germany that it had acquired
an American naval vessel. or that it
had achieved a significant, if not
grandiose. naval victory

am able to give him, all the facts,
rumors and conjectures bearing on
this case. What. o reader, is your

! Sioux City Journal The death of
Joseph Smith, president of the origi-
nal Mormon church, probably ends
the practice of 2olygamy as part
of any cult claiming origin within the
Christian faith. President Smith was
a polygamst in practice even though
he preached against plural maria ges
in the church. When he was wit

admitted that after the law making

he had become the father of children

A HUNGER RETROSPECT.

In an editorial denouncIng the plea OF DE-.
SoIf for recruitment of the blockade terms Of
the arInistice the London Times declares that
the cargoes of foodstuffs sent to the bottom
of the sea by the German U-boats "cannot be
fshed up even to feed Germany This is a
truth likely to be seen in retrospect by the
Germans before they are again established In
peace and plenty. 1t is no part of allied plan
ming TO force or allow millions of Germans to
starve. This is taken for granted The point
at issue Is the manner in which this shall be
guarded against. The manner Germany must
trust the allies to determine. This is hard for
German oficaldom to contemplate. The form
er German government would he poor reliance
for starving people to depend upon And
probably the members of the erstwhile German
miitarist group have yet to be convinced that
they have been beaten by nations who count
frightfulness as cowardice and who are Of az
strict accountability in triumph as In period
of struggle. Meantime hunger in prospect may
vivify the retrospect of its cause into genuine
repentance.

obtainable 1t is open to every person

facts may be arranged somewhat in

cessity demanded. and naval vessels
are noted for perfection Of design

SOME THoUGHTLEss SOLDIERS.

1t will be great pity if the superb record Of
our soldiers in this war be stained by any
wholesale break from discipline before deterIn-
ination Of measures for demoblizaion can be
effected That there should be reaction Is
natural enough. Moreover, IN our home camps
there are many new men not thoroughly Injured
to army discipline. With the prospect of ac-
tive service removed and only vague notion
of the military needs of the future, these young
men turn at once to thought of resuning civil
ian life. The war department appeals to home
friends for the proper advice and cooperation
dFuing the period of settlement of the plans for
disrnisging from service the for whom the
government sees no further military need But
the European prospect is all unsettled. Peace

IT EVENTUALLY COMES BACK.

The millions of dollars accumulated by
Russell Sage and which were conserved and adj
ministered In an admirable way by his widow
during her lifetime, have gone back to the peo-
pie. The founder of the fortune schemed,
saved and toiled to gather them. Under the
compulsion of an instinct of acquisition he
amassed wealth that he never could spend, or
desired to spend. 1t was not distributed at the
time of his death, but passed to the control Of
Mrs. Sage who disposed of much of the in
come in alleviating suffering due to want and
in furthering the cause of education among
women. Now on the passing of this good
woman the bulk of the Sage millions goes to
strengthen splendid public institutions which
are doing notable work for the advancement of
mankind. Conceivably the time may come
when popular contribution of trivial sums from
many millions of people viii build such per1na-
nent institutions for the public good. But that
time has not come yet, and until it does the
great accumulators whose wealth, built up by
driblets, returns to the public in magnificent
benefactions of permanent value, are doing
work which but for them would not be done.
There is no such menace to mankind social
lists see in vast wealth honestly acquired.
Wealth gained in constructive work distrib-
utes more money in wages than is retained by
the man whose foresight and ability made the
enterprise success; and even a fortune made
largely by money lending, like that of Russell
Sage, enures to the benefit of the people and
comes back to them in time
