country should not now resent his mistaken words and votes as to the war. Republicans have not repudiat- ed Mason and Rodenberg. nor apol- ogized for them, difficult as 1t must have been to stomach their bitter lan- guage,
 Sherman shows no sign of sorrow for his course. He has not had the decency to apologize for, or endeavor to atone for his many mistakes. He still assumes he is right on the war, with President Wilson the Admins tration and the country at large dead wrong. Republican newspapers, as the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the New York Times and the New York Herald, have called on him to subside. Republican Senators, however, make no effective effort to restrain him.
 Progress as embodied in war leg islation and war administration, ap- pears to be Sherman's particular bug aboo. His latest uprisings is against the suggestion of the Federal Trade Commission that, because the pack CTS appear to control the meat sup ply, the Government might find 1t advisable to take control of the meat business. Arguing at first as if he were the chosen envoy of the packers to the Senate, Sherman finally falls to invective and denunciation. Dis carding any semblance of economic argument, Sherman says:
 There isn't one (of the Federal Trade Commissioners) who isn't a Dol eJo i14 iva brand. They're younger brothers of the I. W. W.'s, all of them"
 Victor Murdock, of Kansas, always and consistently purifying element in politics, is one of the Commission CTS. He is generally credited with having started the movement that resulted in the overthrow of the Can non-Penrose Old Guard regime, with which herman seems to sympathtze. J. Franklin Fort, another Republi- can, formerly Governor of New Jersey | Is another Commissioner. Senator Thomas, of Colorado, stood up on the l Democratic side and attested to the character of these two Republican Commissioners, while Republican | Senators sat silent.
 1 w ulldLA D. SOAHVlI O4 oI' c1uA, S1 well-known Minnesota publisher, is chairman of the Commission, and the third man under Sherman's fire. He is a Democrat. Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, Republican, arose and re- piled to Sherman, saying that he knew Colver, who was an honorable gentle man with considerable reputation for ability. Kenyon. of Iowa. another Republican Senator, joined Kellogg in resenting Sherman's remarks, but Shoot, of Utah, and some others join ed with Sherman.
 Characterization of the Presidents s aids sa brothers of the I. W. W.'s Is well calculated to "help' War ad-
 ministration. The administration, if
 1t needed friends, if 1t had no splen-
 did record of achievement to win sup port for itself, would rejoice at the attacks of such men as Mason, Ro- denberg and Sherman. Their every attack is an asset.

Washington, Oct Flor fifty years Uncle Sam has been laboring to find out all the crippled soldiers and de- pendent widows and children of sol diers who lost their lives fighting for him. Sometimes he found them, and sometimes he did not. Sometimes he was able to provide sustenance for them, and sometimes they struggled along, destitute, without the aid Un- cle Sam properly owed them.
 That was the old pension system.
 Today, Uncle Sam is taking time by the forelock. Every boy who goes to war is assured of support for himself if he is disabled, and support for his family if he is lost before he gets to the firing line. He can go into bat tie confident that he and his will be cared for by Uncle Sam. It will never be necessary for him or for his relatives to pull political wires through their Congressman to obtain their just dues when the war iS ended.
 First of all the nations of the world, the United States is insuring it's sol diers, discarding the old system of pensions, awarded after the fighting is ended. The agency used is the War Risk Insurance Bureau in the Treasury Department, supervised by Assistant Secretary Thomas B. Love and Director William s. De Lanoy for Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo.
 By the provision of law, the Bureau insures Uncle Sam fighting men up to $10,000, at a cost averaging SS per thousand. This is against an average of s20 to $25 per thousand, charged by private insurance companies. This fair charge, in connection with the Government allotment of pay plan, by which soldiers family automatical- ly gets half his pay ard an additional allotment from the Government makes the Bureau the biggest insur- ancce agency in the world.
 Uncle Sam asks every soldier, in fact requires every soldier, to send haR his pay as am allotment to his dependents. To this amount the Government adds an allowance of $1E per month for wife without children or an allowance of $5 per month fo1 a motherless child, or such other al. lowances as the soldiers dependents require up to a maximum of $50 pel month. This not only protects the soldiers family from charity or des titution, but gives him an added sense of security. He can go into batu' not only feeling that his family wil be cared for in event of injury tt himself, but knowing that his famil! is being cared for all the time he Il away from home. He gets double sense of protection from the Govern ment he is serving.
 Bureaus Gigantic Task.
 Thirty billion dollars worth of in surance policies, backed by all the re sources of the United States and witl every American citizen as an insur ance underwater, have been approv ed by the Bureau since It's organiza ton last November. New bushes at the rate of billion a week is be ing regularly written. Here are
 few condensed facts about the wor, of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
 The Bureau receives approximatel 150,o00 pieces of mail per week. o the letters received about 75,000 ar communications requiring individua an5wers and careful Investigations t obtain the information sought.

An interesting fact brought out by
those engaged in framing the revenue
bill is that 53l percent Of all motor We.
hicles produced in the United States 10
1917 were purchased by farmers. That
figure indicates what large percentage
Of automobiles are used for utility; in
fact it has been estimated by good roads
and touring COMMITTEES that only one
tenth of all passenger automobiles can
be said to be for pleasure riding. The
American Automobile Association is
busy collecting data on the subject Of
what they term taxation of highways

capture the vote of the American farm.
or. 1t could not be done by Haunting

National convention held in 1900 SAID:
''If we are to succeed politically we
must capture the farmer vote" They
changed the name to the Public Owner
