Occasionally a complaint comes to
this office that the school fire is not
started early enough to have the
room warm for the pupils. Also, that
certain buildings are inexcusably cold
from lack of needed repairs. Many
buildings, if old especially, should be
well banked. Storm sash should be
put on. Doors kept tight. Teachers
sometimes neglect to properly regulate
the hampers and ventilating apparatus.
Look well to these things during the

The differences between the Missls-
sippi senator's, who never speak to
each other and cordially detest each
other. often furnishes nice little by
play In the senate. Not long ago dur
ing the discussion Of the shortage of
farm help Senator Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi suggested that the soldiers
who knew anything about working on
a farm should be furloughed so that
they could go home and help make a
large crop. In the course of an hour
or so Senator Williams took the floor
and ridlculed the idea with all of the
sarcastic invective at his command, al
though he never mentioned Vardaman
or intimated that Vardaman had taken
the other side. Williams told story
about how old Gov. Joe Brown Of
Georgia wanted the soldiers to come
home during the war between the
states and work on the farm until they
were wanted to go into battle. and
then they would be sent back again.
The discussion developed that only
about per cent Of the farm labor had
been taken FOR service In the war. The
real facts are that farm labor has gone
to the cities and the big towns, where
there Is great demand for labor with
high prices.

Westinghouse is evident that both
political parties are going to make a
very strong fight for control of the
house of representatives in the cleo
lions this fall, and at the same time
elect as many senators as possible. 1t
is quite likely that there will be close
working agreement between the ma

sional committees and possibly the ma
tional committees will have more to do
with the coming campaign than the
congressional committees. Usually In
the off years congressional committees
take full charge of the campaigns for
the election of members of the house.
but both parties seem to regard the
contest this year of enough Importance
to induce them to use all the power of
the national organizations In the cleo

organization on the part of both par
ties and II Is evident that each conf

Secretary Houston of the agricul-
tural department believes that there
are great possibilities for obtaining
farm labor in cities, towns and vii
lagos, and the department hopes that
every community will utilize all the
man power possible in planting and
harvesting crops this year. Here is a
part Of statement made by Secretary
Houston:

ians can well afford to spare part of

Seven miles above Washington IL
the historic Cabin John bridge. The
few persons who pass that way notice
that workmen are busy on one corner
of the bridge, and If they stopped to
investigate they would find that the
workmen are engaged in restoring the
name Of jefferson Davis TO big stone
which forms part of the structure.
When this bridge was built Jefferson
Davis was secretary of war, and his
name was placed upon the bridge be-
cause 1t was built under the direction
of the war department. During the
Civil war, when an intense prejudice
arose In the North against Jefferson
Davis, somebody chiseled his name off
Cabin John bridge. But now that feel
ing has all subsidized and his name is to
be restored
In this connection 1t may be men,
toned that there are quite a number
of people who feel great indignation
when they think Of the statue Of Fred
erick william the Great, the ancestor
of the present leader of the Huns,
standing in front Of the war college In
one of our big military reservations In
Washington. 1t has been proposed
that this statue should be torn down
and melted into bullets for the use of
the troops who are now facing the
Huns In France.

More rigid methods of dealing with
spies in this country are likely to be
utilized if any American soldiers
should be shot for disobedience of or
ders. For instance, the sentiment
seems to be expressed pretty generally
by public men 10 Washington that
they do not look kindly upon death
sentences for soldiers who may have
fallen asleep while on duty at the
front, while spies in this country are
let off with sentences of years or two
years Imprisonment. Talk on this sub
Ject develops the fact that Americans
generally would rather see the spies
shot than these soldier boys who, OF
course, are subject to severe penalties
for violation of orders.
Some of the saddest stories of the
Civil war are of those cases where
men were contaminated and ordered
shot for going to sleep on picket duty.
Whenever possible President Lincoln
pardoned such men. There Is also n
demand by military authorities for the
shooting of deserters In this country,
but the sentiment is still against such
drastic action and will be until some
of the spies that have been doing such
damage are sentenced TO the usual
penalties prescribed for spies.

Cato Sells. commissioner of lpdiaD
affairs, is very proud OF the part
which the Indians have taken In war
activities. In a recent letter he points
ont that their subscription TO the first
Liberty loan amounted to S4,607 $50.
and TO the second, $4.392, $50. The H.
dams have also participated in Red
Cross work and the schools have done
a lot to help furnish supplies for the
war. More than that, the Indians have
gone into the service as volunteers,
and are likely to be found on the fight
ing line in due time.
Ever since the United States ac-
quired the Philippine islands, near
ly twenty years ago, there has been
more or less of an uneasy feeling
In regard to Japan, Out of this has
grown what has been termed the "yel-
low peril" For many years the Jap
anese menace was dragged out when
ever there was an army or naval APP
preparation bill considered, and the
danger which Japan was to the inter
ests of the United States given as
reason why both the army and the
navy should be greatly strengthened.
Probably this long period of uneasi-
ness or apprehension Is responsible for
the feeling of uncertainty that exists
in regard to Japan's activities In east
ern Russia. There have been criti-
cisms of Japan because she would not
furnish men. ships or money at any
point where there was real fighting
against Germany, although she is one
of the allies and was one of the coun-
tries early in the fight. But now 1t Is
believed her own interests may be
threatened and for that reason she Is
willing to take an active part, and, just
as she is ready to do so, there seems
TO be sort of scary feeling as to
whether all will be well after Japan
has had her way In Siberia.

Eloquent argument having failed to
bring the Teutonic rulers to their

realization of the truth, and encour-

with no response from the Russians,
President Wilson seems TO have de-
cided that action, quick and fOrcible,
Is the only thing that will bring the
war to close. He cheersd up the
country immensely by calling into con
ference the heads OF the various war
boards, who had been named as advis7
ers to the chairman OF the war indus
tries board in establishing co-ordina-
ton. He impressed upon these men
again the need of harmonizlng their
work in order to hurry up shipbuild-
ing, increase shipping facilities and
provide materials for the production Of
munitions. The shipbullding question
is the most pressing one, and the gov
eminent is somewhat disturbed by the
uncertain labor situation. II intends to
adopt a definite labor policy, as did
England, but this has not yet been
formulated.

Senator Hardwick Of Georgia does
not take kindly to the legislation that
has been passed for war purposes, par
ticularly when it infringes on the Con
stitution. The Georgia senator has q
great reverence for that document, and
even wartime necessity does not i'm
press him with the necessity for strain
ing the ancient document to some ex-
tent. During a recent debate in the
senate the Georgia senator said:
1--WE have got to have shipping cor
poration, the government running the
railroads, the government running bust
ness credits in this country; we have
got to have Capitalization at the ex-
pense of state governments, centraliza-
ton at the expense of individualism in
this republic, until we have heaped
upon our people a system of laws that
when the sum total Is carefully
weighed is just about as obnoxious as
the system under which the Russians
lived before they got rid of the czar."
"Otherwise 1t is all right, l sup
poser" remarked Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,.

No state of community likes to have
the brand of dlsloyalty placed upon 1t,
and consequently North Dakota is
making every effort to get out from
under the smirch which certain peo-
pie Of that region placed upon the state
in connection with the war. Senator
McCumber has several times insisted
upon the loyalty Of his state, and very
recently Claude S. Spencer of Bis
marck, the capital, explained that the
state is now loyal to tie core and has
5000 men In uniform. He went on to
say that very effective steps had been
taken to root out the disloyal class
that caused so much trouble and gave
the state such bad name. Units Of
state defense have been organized and
armed. Those who have not rifles have
shotguns and the probabilities are that
they will make 1t rather disagreeable
for any persons that undertake to
preach disloyalty in the future.
