REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have Been Flattered, But at Least He
 Won One Vote.

Senor Costa. the Portuguese prime minister, in excusing himself from mak. ing speech on the ground that he was no orator. told an amusing anecdote at a luncheon party given in his honor during his recent visit to London. It appears that when he first put up for the Portuguese national council he prefaeed his opening address to the electors by alluding frankly to his lack of oratorieal gifts. After he had finished a man pushed forward, grasp ed his hand warmly, and said:
 "Senhor, I've been a lifelong oppo- nent of yours, but at the coming cleo ton I shall vote for you."
 "Thank you" said Costa, much grat- flied. May I ask the particular req son for your change of views?'
 Because you are the first speaker on either side that I have heard tell the truth" was the reply. You said when you began that you couldn't make much of speech, and by heav- ems, senhor, you can't

GIRLS! MAKE A BEAUTY LOTION
 WITH LEMONS
.++f+@+++*f+++++++@+++.

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier. by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly frag- rant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face. neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It Is truly marvel ous to smoother rough. red hands. Adv.

DisIoyaI Elements Rooted Out and State Is Shown to Be Doing It's Full Share In War-Farm Labor Prob lem.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-It Is evident that both political parties are going to make n very strong fight for control of the house of representatives in the cleo tions this fall. and at the same time elect as many senators as possible. It Is quite likely that there will be close working agreement between the na- tional committees and the congress sional committees and possibly the na- t1onal 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 tions. There appears to be no lack of organization on the part of both par ties and it is evident that each conf1- dently expects to win the elections this fall.

Senator Hardwick of Georgia does not take kindly to the legislation that has been passed for war purposes. par ticularly when 1t infringes on the Con- stitution. The Georgia senator has a great reverence for that document, and even wartime necessity does not im- 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:
 ''We have got to have shipping cor poration, the government running the railroads, the government running busi- ness credits in this country; we have got to have standardization 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'

No state of community likes to have the brand of disloyalty placed upon It. 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 the 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.

It Is not often that man yoluntar- fly retires from the senate. It often happens that man will continue to be a candidate, and say that he is forced in because some one, forsooth. has said that he would be beaten any how. Many a senator has gone into a fight after saying that he would like to be relieved of the duty, and given that as a reason for his so doing. At the same time it is not often that man retires when he has got rather easy sailing ahead, therefore, 1t is rather surprising that William Alden Smith of Michigan should decide to get out of the senate at this time. William Alden has had long career of pub lie service and he Is mighty we'll placed on committees, but he has decided to retire even though his friends say that he could easily be reelected.

Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, is very proud of the part which the Indians have taken in war activities. In recent letter he points out that their subscription to the first Liberty loan amounted to $4607 $50. and to the second, S4,392, ,750. The h. dians have also participated in Red Cross work and the schools have done a lot to help furnish supplies, fer 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 ap- propriation 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 uneasl- 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 eriti- clsms 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 eoun- tries early in the fight. But How It 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 a sort of scary feeling as to whether all will be we'll after Japan has had her way in Siberia.

Seven miles above Washington is 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 subsided and his name is to be restored
 In this connection 1t may be men, toned that there are quite 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. It 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 In 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 a 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 court-martialed and ordered shot for going to sleep on picket duty. Whenever possible President Lincoln pardoned such men. There Is also a 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.

The differences between the Missis- sippi senators, who never speak to each other and cordially detest each other, often furnishes a 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 CT so Senator Williams took the floor and ridculed 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 a 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 a great demand for labor with high prices.
