March 30.-"Some time ago pimp1es
began. to appear on my forehead, and
spread SO that people remarked about
them, and I didn't like to go any

but nothing seemed to help me. A
friend of mine who had the same
trouble told me she cleared her skin
with Resinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap, so I tried them. After the first
application all the redness and sore

three applications my friends began
to ask me what I used, my face

TWO NEW CITY PUMPS
Commissioner Newland Will Increas ST
Efficiency City Waterworks

The city is to have two new low
duty pumps to add to its water sys-
tenn Commissioner New1and this
morning at the regular meeting of the
commissioners prese nted the specified
tons for these pumps as they were
recommended to him by Wynecoup
Kiersted, former hydraulic engineer
for the city.
The city clerk will receive bids for
these pumps up to September %. Each
bid must be accompa MED by a certi-
fled check for $1,000.
The water system his been running
in perfect order for some time and
with the addition of these two new low
duty pumps, Newland thinks the situa-
ton will be solved temporarily.
In the meantime the work of plan
ming the following of other sugges-
tons by Kiersted which will involve
much more expense and labor may be
pushed forward with all possible
speed. A tunnel under the river to
obtain a larger flow of water from the
north side of the river is the main
feature of the improvements suggested
by KieIsted.

And then there are the mysterious
messages that went forth before the
assassination Of Ferdinand to German
industrial leaders, telling them to open
certain secret instructions to perfect
industrial mobilization in the event
of war: And the announcement in the
middle of June to q large group Of Sc
lected secret agents that they were
booked for foreign service soon. And,
beyond that, there we're the confer
ences with the capitalists, as early as
1912, looking to cooperation with the
government when the war came, on
the basis of compensations in the form
of concessions and grants of land in
the prospective enemy countries.

in Germany, besides gratifying the

The Department Wage Scale.

A wage commission to regulate the
salaries of government employees is
advocated by a branch Of the Federal
Employees Union in this city. The
proposal is to organize commission
consisting of the heads Of departments,
the chairmen of the Senate and House
appropriations committees and repre-
sentatives of the employees. Consider
ing the present state Of federal wages
this plan is worthy Of consideration.
A deplorable situation exists at pres
emit in the government departments in
this respect. It is practically impos-
sible to secure readjustment of sal
aries, even when the cost of living
rises high. The salary rolls are shaped
by the appropriations committees with
little regard for the Judgment of the
heads Of departments, and none what
ever for the wishes of the workers.
If the established department pay
scale had been strictly maintained
during the period Of emergency en-
ployment for war purposes the United
States could not have secured half of
the extra people it needed. Only by
offering unusually high rates, far be-
You'd the normal scale, were the "war
workers" induced to accept positions
here, and meanwhile the pay of the
permanent force remained as before.
with the result that experienced men
and women were given less pay than
newcomers who did much less impor-
tant work. In consideration of the
loyalty with which the permanent
force remained on duty some practical
move should now be made to put the
pay scale Of the government on a
proper basis.

Germany's white Book"

Reassuring word comes from Berlin
that search has disclosed that none of
the documents Of the foreign Office
bearing upon the origin of the war
has been destroyed and that publica-
ton is soon to be effected in "white
book" now being compiled by an in
dependent socialist leader who was un-
der secretary in the foreign Office in
the old government.
The world awaits this publication
with anxiety. It hopes for complete
clearance Of certain mysterious cir
cumstances connected with the declara-
ration Of hostilities. First of all it
trusts that the truth will be known re-
garding the assassination of Grand
Duke Ferdinand, who was given no

Gov. Harrington's Address.

Speaking at Annapolis Monday to
the conference Of governors on the
subject of reconstruction, and what
should be done by the government to
meet the new conditions produced by
the war, Gov. Harrington of Maryland
said:
Let US find out the causes for boil
shevism, for socialism, for anarchy,
and, if possible, remove the causes.
Nearly all of the fsms' have some ele-
ment of right, and are caused by some
element of injustice. A proper study
will give better understanding, and
when we dig into conditions and causes
we find most of the causes are social.
Thus we come into new light and into
marvellous development of the social
vision and unsel6shness of our people.
We have the miracle and the gospel of
the new day of our new world"
This is good advice, and offered at q
time which should insure it attention.
The new Congress when it organizes
will at once take up reconstruction
problems. They will be numeroua,
and take wide range. Legislation on
them should be founded on full in
formation. Inquiries should be insti.
tuted in every case. Hasty or hap
hazard action in any case might at this
time of uncertainty and experiment be
attended with grave consequences.
Although our government is Of, by
and for the people, it is, Of course, not
perfect. We have been improving it
ever since We established it. The coun-
try's growth has from time to time
suggested and effected changes. Some
important changes followed tho close

The Senate and the Treaty.

As time passes, criticism Of the Presi-
don't for not going to the Senate for a
peace commissioner or two may soften.
Congress is proceeding in a way which
suggests that every member, and par
tieular1y if prominent, should be at his
post. The card is such as calls for the
largest legislative experience and the
best ability in that body.
And the Senate more than the House
will show during the session very keen
contests. The revenue debate is
staged, and now in progress, there.
Later. the appropriation bills will come
under review; and not infrequently
that work offers fine opportunities for
those who concern themselves with
large questions. Still other matters
are likely to come up which senators
ought not to miss.
Had the President turned to the SEN
ate, his eye, Of course, would have
rested only on tall figures. 1t would be
easy to name the men he would prob
ably have chosen. They are picked
out among their associates by their IA
miliarity with foreign affairs such as
will come under discussion at Yer
sailles.
But they are the very men who in
their official places here will bulk large
in the work of this session. They are
by no means specialists, but all-around
legislators, qualified in the transacting
Of all sorts of business. In all mat
tiers of importance they bear hand,
and offer valuable counsel.
It is quite superfuous to say that
these men would have carried them
selves at Versailles in way to impress
their associates from whatever coun-
try, and to earn the praise Of their
own country. And, naturally, they
would have enjoyed participating in
work of worldwide interest and i'm
port, performed with the world for
gallery, so to say.
But their opportunity will come.
When as senators they are called upon
to weigh the work done at Versailles,
they will be looked to by their asso-
ciatea in responsibility and by the
country at large for their best judg-
ment expressed in candid terms. If
the treaty submitted meets their ap-
prevail, it will become the more &C.
ceptable to America because Of that
approval. If it fails to meet their ap-
prevail, and their judgment influences
rejection by the Senate, that act will
be the more acceptable to the country
because of their part in it.
The Senate cannot possibly be
counted out of the equation. It's duty
is very plain, and there is no reason
to suppose that it will fail when the
time comes to do that duty.

srs vsre we'll thought out, and

srs were we'll thought out, and
strengthened the structure.
Just what changes this latest war
will make necessary is now the ques-
ton. Differences Of opinion inure in
50 complicated = situation. But
changes Of some sort are inevitable;
and it will be up to the new Congress
to decide as to their nature.
Capital and labor were in contro-
versy far too often for the good of
either before the war began. To the
credit Of both, it is to be said, the war
while it lasted affected each toward
the other, and both toward the public,
in a helpful way. Both carried them
selves we'll in the face of the country's
pressing necessities
But now that the war is over, I'M
less care is taken, old controversies
Will be reopened. We shall see old
antagonisms renewed, and old injuries
inflicted.
This would be regrettable on every
account, but particularly so for the
reason that the new times seem to
promise, if properly improved, larger
opportunity for both capital and labor
than they have hitherto known even
in this favored country. Our produc-
tions should increase greatly, insuring
capital satisfactory returns on its in
vestments, and labor wage scales in
keeping with its claims and rights to
thoroughly comfortable living.

Blind, Blind, Blind!

Eve are trying to forget" said a
Berlner to a news correspondent in
explanation of the gayety in the Ger
man capital, where theaters and cafes
are crowded, bands are playing and
soldiers returning from the front are
cheered as they march through the
streets.
The German people must not be per-
mitted to forget. They must be made
to remember that they, through their
leaders, are guilty of an atroeious
crime against humanity and that pom
alties are their portion, in such degree
as the wisest judgment of the allies
may dictate.
The armistice signed November II
did not condone the sins Of those who
precipitated the war and those who
permitted it and prosecuted it. The
German soldiers returning from the
field are not victors, or heroes. They
are representatives of a beaten force,
q force, too, that stands convicted of
denominations in every land occupied
by German arms during the conflict.
If there prevails in Berlin today a
feeling that the truce is tantamount
to peace, and that the terms to be
arranged later are merely formulas of
territorial Establishments, there is a
bitter disappointment ahead of the peo-
pie. The armistice was simply means
to the end of formulating conditions
that will make future agsressions by
Germany impossible, and the cheers
given to the returning troops are like
ly to turn to bowls of resentment when
those conditions are determined upon
and announced.
The people of France and Belgium,
England and Italy are not forgetting,
and their rejoicings are not dulled by
apprehension Of the future. They look
to the peace conference to settle the
issues in a manner to guarantee the
future through such penalties imposed
upon the guilty ones that will cause
the years 1914 to 1918 to DO always
remembered by Germany and her al
lies.
While the populace of Berlin dances
and feasts and cheers the inhabitants
Of the devastated areas of the war
zone are struggling back to their for
mer homes, digging among the ruins
of villages and towns, seeking their
old locations, trying to find their rela-
tives, looking for the graves of the
martyrs slaughtered by the Huns. They
are not forgetting.
Some spirit of perversity prevails at
Berlin to cause these exhibitions of re-
joicing. 1t is the same spirit that led
the nation forth to war in an unjust
cause. What is to be done to open
the eyes of these blind people to the
truths Can they ever be made to sect
