"S THE WHOLE country knows A by this time. Uncle Sam has
 gone into the insurance busi- y U ness. And this is the first in stance in all history where a govern ment has done such a thing. But that is not the only amAzing and in teresting fact about this new wartime venture of your Uncle Samuel. There are many other truly remarkable phases of the enterprise. Consider a few of them:
 He's A World Champion.
 Already Uncle Sam has proved him. self the champion insurance solicitor of the world. In three months the War Risk Insurance Bureau succeed cd in writing nearly five billion dollars in insurance policies to soldiers and sailors. No life insurance corporation in the United States or in the world can make a like showing; but this does not influence Uncle Sam to sit back and relax his efforts. On the contrary, he makes the announcement that he regards these totals-already record-breaking- only beginning

WHICH DANGER TO CHOOSE.


| It is but fair to admit that Intervention in
Russia would have its dangers. Russia is a
land of huge distances and great wastes of land
Its people are not open to the avenues of intel
Ihgence OF western nations. 1t is at present torn
with dissension and wracked with its revolu-
tionary turmoil. It is despoiled by Germany.
| 1t has no government that constructively fills
the function of a government. Anarchy is rife
and law abiding citizens have no redress for
wrongful robbery of their rights and property.
To send an intervening force into such coun-
try Is an experiment. It would mean vast in
vestment at risk This is meant to be just
statement Of the viewpoint of those who are
aye1se to allied Intervention in Russia
Now for the other side of the picture. There
are hosts of Russians who cannot be supposed
to consent to the state of things they now live in
There is Russia of intelligence, of wonderful
productive thought, of immense capacity for
development We know this as well as we
know the Russian chaos of the present Out of
the despair of today this Russia must turn
somewhere for help and relief. Whittier will
1T turnf Germany has power and resources to
organize, to control, to develop the land and its
people to comfort and material prosperity. She
Will gladly do all this in return for the trade
favorltls1n and the military support she desires.
Whittier Will the despairing and helpless Rus
slams turn for relief?
There is danger IN Intervention in Russia but
Japan is in position to enter Siberia and estab-
hsh such control as would bar Germany out.
Once the allies made intelligent Russians know
that they intended simply to defeat German ag-
gression and in no way to interfere with a gen
uine Russian governments sovereign rights,
there would be set up something definite and
powerful enough to offer relief of better sort,
because freer sort, than German suzerainty
offers. Giving to the doubters the benefit of
the doubt, the danger of losing Russia per1na-
nenty to Germany outweighs the danger of
arousing resentment IN certain elements of the
Russian people

"CAN THEM.

Warsaw Bulletin: Under the direc-
ton of the brilliant postmaster gen.
eral who was picked out OF the sage
brush of Texas, system of zone
postage has been hung upon the
newspapers of this country that not
only adds another burden to the cost
of production but causes great
amount of unnecessary labor. The
country is divided into eight zones
with a different rate Of postage for
each zone, and an additional differ
ing rate in each zone for that portion
OF the newspaper in which the adyer-
Using occupies more than 5 per cent.
of the space.
While the idea had it inspiration
in Burleson, congress is really respon-
sible for the enactment and should
bear the greater portion of the blame.
II the originators and supporters OF
this law are not relegated to private
life. we may eventually expect a re-
turn to the days when there were prac-
ticaIly zone systems for first-class
mail matter-when you could send a
letter to New York for three cents but
It cost ten cents to send one to San
Francisco Yes, the bunch have-in them
the possibilities of returning to the
pony post and the stage coach days.

yourself from every viewpoint. You are
clothed in the flesh that you have
made for yourself by your habits of
life. The lustre of your eyes, the clear
ness and smoothness of your skin are
largely the result of your habits.
If you have been active your mus
cles are firm your flesh hard. If you
have led a sedentary life, you are
clothed in f1abby flesh, your skin is
often rough and unsightly, you are Of
the jelly-fish type.
All men and women should prepare
themselves adequately for their life
work. The cry everywhere now is for
efficiency = clear, snappy brains,
strong bodies, energy, enthusiasm
and all these are Dependent upon the
strong body.
II you have that kind of body be-
gin now to do your duty to yourself
and to the nation.

TAFT THEN AND NOW.

Knoxville Express: Knoxville had
a very distinguished guest last We'd
nesday night. The old town mas num-
! Der of citizens who would like to be
president; it has entertained some
who have gone SO far as to be nomin-
ated for president; but 1t is a rare
thing for us to entertain a man who
has actually sat in the presidents
chair The fact is that Hon William
Howard Taft is the only president who
ever visited Knoxville while he was
in office, and likewise the only ex-
president who has tarried within our
gates. 1t will thus be seen that he
deserves well of us, and should have
more than passing mention.
Mr.. Tart was unable to recall his
visit to Knoxville in 1911. Naturally
a president visits so many towns that
he loses track of them, while so few
presidents visit a countyseat town
that there is no danger Of the town
forgetting it. I asked him If he liked
his present mode Of travel better
than when he was president, and he
replied with good deal of
emphasis that he surely did. AS presi-
dent he arrived in Knoxville It will
be remembered, with a special train,
from which debouched enough gold
laced military men to have equipped
a first class circus parade He was
surrounded by a bevy of secret ser
vice men whose vigilance was unceas-
ing. Major Archibald Butt, who was
lost on the Titanic, while returning
from a European trip, understood to
have been a secret diplomatic visit
on behalf of President Taft, was his
military aide, and accompanied him
on his western trip. 1t was out of the
question for the president to move
without creating a furry among the
secret service men. One of them had
to ride in the auto which conveyed
the president from the depot Ruth
Collins drove the auto and that had
to be thoroughly canvassed and o.
KID beforehand What a change, We'd |
nesday a good-sized plainly dressed
p. m. His baggage was a single some !
man disembarked from No. about |
what battered leather suit case. No |
secret service man assisted him down |
the steps; no goid-laced army officers |
stood at attention: no government de- |
tective hoped into the auto which |
met him. And withal, Mr.. Taft saws |
the ability to go and come when he |
he enjoys the freedom from restraint,
chooses without feeling that he is
affecting the movements of so mar
people and making so much trouble.

KEEP TROUBLES OUT OF SIGHT

Notwithstanding Bacon s dictum that some
things ought to be privileged from jesting-
matters of state, great persons business of i'm
portance and any case that deserveth pity
nothing is really safe from American levitv ex-
cept the cases of the latter kind, the pitiful
things of life. Only persons hardened in de-
pravity would make jest Of human sorrow, the
sufferings of any creature OF hold up to ridi-
cule the humble contrivances Of the poor
But it is the American way to make Jest of
everything else, and particularly do Americans
delight in holding up pomposity and preten-
tiousness to ridicule. The Prusian "clown''
prince is inviting game, and all the rest Of the
royal litter We can even hang drollery upon
a great reverse as when some humorist sug-
gested recently that a charity deserving Ameri-
can support was 'sthe running expenses of the
Austrian army But there is so much of sad
ness in the world today that anybody who can
extract smile from anything is public bene-
factor; and even sorry and not particularly
successful iests may tighten the gloom and help
to keep US from becoming morbid So, if you
have a kit bag that will hold your troubles;
keep them out of sight. Never give anyone
else glimpse of them if you can help it; and if
you do not make the fatal mistake of taking
them out and counting them over too contin-
ually. some Of them may dessicate and disap-
pear. Even by keeping our sorrows to ourselves
we shall be doing something, if we can do no
more, to tighten life and make it normal as it
used to be.

THE SHORTAGE OF COAL.

There are two sorts of evils. those that bring
sudden. Unforeseen disaster and those which
ordinary foresight perceives to be coming and
inevitable unless the conditions producing them
are changed An evil of the first class is bolt
of lightning which burns barn. An evil Of
the second class is a fire creeping through the
dry grass towards haystack. There is warn
ing of this evil and time IN which energy may
avert it.
To take a specific case, an evil of an alarming
magnitude menaccs the country. 1t Is known
to be approaching. It is known when # Will
fall upon u.s. and less than half year remains
in which to avoid the blow. This is the inn-
pending shortage of coal which is absolutely
certain to bring great distress upon the country
this coming winter unless effective measures
are taken, to meet it IN the few warm months
that still remain.
But the calamity is escapable There is coal
enough IN the ground; there are men enough to

wherever 1t is needed. The one thing needed ie

CLOTHED WITH FLESH

Bernarr Macfodden, in Physical
Culture: The war has changed our at
titude in many spheres of life.
The average individual was inclined
to forget the importance of the body.
Clothes hid our imperfections, and the
man or woman was judged, to a large
extent, by this external apparel. The
X-ray eye of the physical culturist was
rot possessed by the public.
1t was the clothes. not the man,
that counted in most cases.
But when you go to war, clothes
count for but little: they are simply
an external profession.

AN UNUSUAL RESULT

Des Moines Capital: One of our
former Des Moines citizens, Hon F. NJ.
Mills, owns the street car line at
Sioux Falls, S. D. Mr.. Mills discovered
that he could not successfully con-
duct his railroad on a five-cent fare.
Therefore he appealed to the people
for a six-cent fare, and by popular
vote the public agreed to pay six
cents for a street car ride. The cleo
ton resulted in a vote of confidence.
Mr.. Mills established his street car line
when Sioux Falls was smaller than at
present, and when the five-cent fare
