Why Senator Reeds Bitterness?

Unless Senatorial courtesy has supplanted patriotism it is difficult to explain the silence of his colleagues when Senator Reed of Missouri periodically as saults the Food Administration and Mir. Hoover. Personal ani- mostly and political rancor some. times lead public men into reck- less vituperation. but as a rule they do not let their hatred of an individual or a cause carry them to the extreme Of trying to un- dermine popular confidence in a vital agency of war and diScred iting public service on which the very lives of all the fighting democra cies depend.
 MT. Reed and others opposed with great violence last spring and summer every adequate plan for food regulation. During all the months that they blocked the passage of the measure now a law, boarding was going on, speculation was rampant and prices were soaring: In June last MT. Hoover told Senate committee that in his opinion food profiteers had been taking at least S50,OOO,0o0 a month in plunder from the American peo- pie for five months. Even so, the bill did not become law until Aug. 10.
 We suppose these gamblers dislike Mir. Hoover, and we may imagine that, knowing how well he is feeding the Allies, the Prus sian autocracy hates him, but why all this malevolence on the part of an American Senator?

The Interesting Loon.

The loon is one of the most benutj. full ard graceful of the wild water fowl. rivaing the wood duck in the markings of it's plumage. On the Northern lakes there is no bird that can dive quicker or swim faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land, but so active and alert is i. in the water that it can dodge bullets. "rhc loon is q cousin to the beaver" says Joim Bur roughs. Tt has the feathers of Il bird and the fur nf an animal, and the heart of both. Ii is as quick and cunning ns 1t is bod and resolute. When disabled so that 1t can neither dive nor fly. 1t is said to face it's foe. look at him ir the face with It's clear, piercing eye, and fight rcsolutely till death. The gunners say there Is something in the wailing. piteous cry. when dying, al- most human in Its agony.

X PARABLE.

The soldier threaded his weary way back to the Coloners dugout. He had been in half dozen skirmishes with the enemy in as many weeks. He was still intact. but scratched and wearied from crawling through barbed wire and in and out of shell craters. He entered the dugout and saluted with click of heels and hand to cap.
 Colonel" he said. q think I will have to quit. The battles are getting to be so many. It's rather too much of a good thing. I have given about all l can of time and strength and blood to this war. I am going home."
 No; the incident didn't happen. But why shouldn't it? There are lots of civilians here at home turning down such appeals as the Red Cross and the Liberty Loans because "the calls are so many"
