is 1T GOOD BUSINESS

Out in Oregon the government is offering for
sale the entire equipment it has gathered to in
sure production of spruce for it's airplanes.
This has cost millions it includes logging roads,
railroads, mills, boats, cut-up plants; it forms the
greatest equipment in the world today for the
economical and speedy production of the fine ma
terials needed in aircraft
1t will be sold at bargain, and probably most
of it's efficiency will be destroyed.
If Uncle Sam is to carry mail and express, may
be passengers and freight by aircraft and if he is
going to lead the world with his aerial navies,
might it not be good business bunch to keep this
basic equipment together?
We merely inquire; perhaps Washington may
answer, to the satisfaction of the public
If this speedy demolition and sacrifice Of all the
big public industries built up for national efficien-
cy is carried through and the nation loses it's rail-
road control it's ships it's authority over telegraph
cable, telephone and express companies, much of
the public benefit the optnsts saw merging from
the red womb of war will prove but an aborted

SUSPENDING JUDGMENT

President Wilson leaves very indignant con-
gress behind him. The national view is divided
and confused. There are two camps. On approves
the other disapproves, but everywhere there seems
to be disposition to suspend final judgment until
the peace conference gets under way. His adj
dress to congress is practically silent the peace
terms. The chief executive deals in generaities
and adds nothing of defniteness to the fourteen
points whose application promises to be subject
of lively controversy when the allies face each
other at Versailles.
Every precedent is ignored in negIecting to give
the senate; the constitutional treaty making body ;;
the court of last resort any representation on the
peace commission.
On the other hand the president gives his Dem
ocratc leaders in the senate cold comfort when he
promises to keep them fully advised of what tran
spires at the peace conference. They probably are
more incensed over this attitude of the executive
branch toward them than the Republicans who of
course resent the exclusion of the legislative
branc hfrom the peace preliminaries
His references to peace in the message are dis
appointing both to congress and to the nation.
Otherwise the address has many admirable points,
Everyone expected definition of peace terms less
vague, less academic in scope than the now famous
fourteen points. President Wilson has seen fit to
deny national desire in this and there is nothing
to do but to indulge in watchfu waiting. --'
On economic issues, President Wilson frankly
passes the solution Of the railroad problem to con-
gress without recommendation. There is nothing
in the recent election returns to warrant federal
socialism. The people of the United States desire

WITH THE EDITORS
HINDENBURG'S NEGLECTED WIFE

Hl1<DEI\DUNU > WIFE
Zach! Women! l hate them They have no
place in my life! have other things to think
aboutr'
These were the exact words spoken to me few
years ago by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
We were seated on the veranda of Hindenburg's
favorite little cafe in Hanover.
Along the street below had passed shabbily
dressed careWorn woman whom l recognized as
the wife of Hndenburg. My observation that he
never took her out gave rise to the cryptic utter
ance which appears above.
1t typfes exactly the attitude of the idol of
Germany towards women. Love has played no
part in his checkered life His career can be
searched thoroughly, but no trace of those ques-
tonable scandals which seem to be part and parcel
of the lives of great Huns will be found.
filndenburg's wooing was prosaic. There was
no romance about it. It's counterpart can be found
by the thousand in industrial towns and villages all
the world over.
When he was "a years of age Hindenburg s
mother died. She was the only woman for whom
ne ever showed any love. Out of his small pay as
an army lieutenant he scraped a few marks weekly
and denied himself so that she could have this
small allowance.
Morose, silent, sefreliant, intoerant of the fav-
ors OF other men, he yet felt the need of having
somebody to look after the little house his sainted
mother had so long occupied He looked about in
Hanover where he then lived, and his choice fell
upon Frauline Sof. She was child of the people,
plain, unintelgent and uninteresting But, as
Hlndenburg found out, she was an excellent
housekeeper.
He put his proposal before her in businesslike
manner. He so far unbent as to dilate upon his
prospects, and he offered her home and her keep
in return for marriage. She accepted the offer
For the daughter Of an agricultural laborer she
was doing very we'll for herself" The whole
ceremony, apart from the wedding ring, cost under
$3.50. There were no bridesmaids, no honey
moon, and no festivity. Hndenburg's wedding
gift to his wife, which 1 have seen many times,
consisted of an illustrated bible with gilt edges,
costing about eight marks. The bulk of the $3.50
was spent on wedding meal
The married life of this ill assorted couple
proceeded without a ripple Hindenburg never
consulted his wife about anything. She was his
slave more than his wife, and so long as she pre-
pared his meals and looked after his home he did
not trouble. But she nevertheless lived in secret
terror of him; she was afraid to have thought
of her own.
From the moment the kaiser recalled Hinden-
burg from Hanover, his wife has dropped entirely
out OF his life as though she never existed
Through his lawyers he now makes her gener-
GUS allowance, but he does not care rap how she
spends it.-Pearsons Weekly, London.

mental ownership which is nothing but another
name for political control.
A nation approves President Wilson's eulogy of
the part women have played in this war. Full
enfranchisement at an early date would be suit
able reward; an elimination of an unjust barrier
between them and full participation in the fruits
of democracy which without their sacrifices would
have been impossible.

SHALL WE ALL TAKE TEA?

SHALL WE ALL TAKE TEA?
Tea drinking is on the increase in these United
States.
This statement is made on the authority of the
National City Bank of New York which has COL
lected statistics to prove it,
Whereas in 1909 we imported 1l5,OOO,O0O
pounds of tea, in 1918 we imported 151,000000
pounds.
Why? The same authority gives the answer
Prohibition!
British tea experts say world consumption of
tea is increasing in direct ratio to the spread of
liquor restrictions and prohibition.
These facts are called to the attention Of grape
juice and "soft-drink" devotees. And to the alarm
lists who see visions of world epidemics Of drug adj
dictions
Shall we have tea-saloons?
Will they be substitute for liquor saloons?
Is teas increasing popularity due to it's stimu-
lating, exhilarating effects?
Will not coffee consumption jump, too?
These all are interesting questions to think and
tai kabout when you're weary of Weightier, more
tragic things
Men used to speak rather contemptuously of
"tea-fghts". Will they change their mental squnt
and become tea-fghters?
Will tea-drinking have an yserious effects on
the virility of the race?
They easily develop arguments over them.
