FORE the guess may be hazarded that in fact the

prisoners. as reported. they will rue the day they
ever inaugurated such practice. They will have
reason to be sorry, indeed. when all the returns
are in.
The American is thorough believer in lighting

There need be no recountal of the specific meas

content with saying that there WILL be reprisals
We believe in them;e believe in speaking in the
only language that the enemy understand, and
in speaking even little bit more loudly and more
clearly than he does.
Yes, Americans know how to handle case oi
this sort We trust that the Germans will recede
from any attempt to torture Americans before 1t is
too late The supreme usclessness of such pro-
ceedingits object being to force prisoners OF war

Comes Easy, When You Think.

"A half dozen of your nice white wheat cakes,
Mother" says Dad sitting down to breakfast
"Wheatless day; but here's some hot corn
cakes" says Mother.
And, on the way down to the office, Dad thinks
on corn, like this:
Corn was the pioneer American crop and is still
the one cereal crop in which America leads the
world The early voyagers took back to Europe
ears of corn as curiosity. Our Pilgrim fathers
almost lived on corn, Corn the first crop
planted in all the virgin soil it was settled from
the Atlantic to the broad prairies and beyond.
Those who cleared off the forest and brush put in
corn first thing, and SO it goes to this day.
There is hardly domestic animal but it thrives
best on corn. In mush form, it is better for even
pups and kittens than meat. As a life-saver or a
flesh-builder it comes next to milk, which alone is
both meat and drink.
And it will help win worlds war
3 Mother, of those hot corn cakes,
please! I'm beginning to eat with my brains says
Dad, next breakfast time.

Now. Isn't il So?

When you analyze the recent Hoover order, you
find much that means discipline rather than change
from custom. For instance, one meatiess meal
every day.
Isn't it fact that very few families have meat
on their menu three times day? Certainly the
millions in agricultural pursuits do not Certainly
the very poor do not because they cannot afford 1t
Meat three times day is largely confined to regu'
lar patrons of restaurants and hotels, and, really
they are small proportion of the total OF popuia'
tion.
Then we are to have two porkless days each
week, leaving five days on which we can consume
pork with a clear conscience. Anyone who mus
have pork more than five times week was never
intended for this intelligent age. Nor does the
order for two porkess days demand much change
in general custom.
Actually it is only that part OF the order apply
ing to wheatlcssness that smacks OF revolution and
our brains tell us that there lot OF hrst-clas>
substitutes for wheat

In Case Of a Tie.

That statement was fully borne out when Cham
berlain arose before packed galleries IN chamber
whose standing room was crowded with visitors
from the House. Beginning with simple state
ment of the issue between himself and the PTesi-
dent the Oregon leader proceeded to talk tor three
hours without any apparent oratorlcal plan OF
striving for superficial effect. ~
His voice often sank so low as to be inaudible
the galleries. At times he selected groups OF ms
colleagues and addressed them in conversational
tones At such time one member interrupted: .
will the gentleman please raise his voice!
To which Vice President Marshall quickly added:
"And il the gentleman continues to address the
rear of the chamber the presiding officer will not
know what he has said"
Senator Chamberlain turned slowly toward the
Vice President, raised his right hand above his
head, and smilingly responded:

Extraordinary activity between
the Senate battle lines on the suf-
frage question make some of the
newspaper men think some new
move is contemplated just now.
But as the friends of suffrage said
some time ago they will not push
the battle until they are sure OF
winning. The effort is not one to
secure a majority on a particular
vote, but to secure a two-thirds
vote of the Senate membership in
favor of the proposal. Affirmative
votes are all that count, therefore.
The men who are absenI count
against the amendment just the
same as if they were present and
voted against it. The antis say
sixty-three votes-the number TO
carry the proposal-are not to be
had Just now. And they are not.
according to their poll.
There are several members of the
Senate trying with all their wits
to figure out what way the women
of the country at large are likely
happen to oppose suffrage and
later become recipients for very
high honors at the hands of the
words. some of the prospective
Presidential candidates are wonder
ing what the women of the nation
would do IL they voted against the
bill. They are holding the PROPOSE
6rSt fr ana ana fha, i,,
the other, for it is a very hot one.
1t will be interesting to see the
result of the suffrage vote in this
select circle of Presidential pros
poets.
Unwittingly Dave Lawrence points
out that Secretary Baker wrote
to President Wilson that he would
be glad to step down aud out II
his incumbency of the war secre-
taryship embarrassed the President.
etc. And the President wrote" q
letter In reply the same day, so we
are told. On such an important
matter as this-important at least
to the Secretary-he might have
askeC the President for fifteen
moment talk. Certainly the Presi-
dent could have been his secretary
for that brief space of time.
There Is no likelihood that Mr..
Penrose will press his resolution TO
inquire into George CreePs vivid
picture of the Fourth of July en-
counter which some of our troop
| ships had with submarines. The
truth OF that affair has been laid
before the people and it is believed
by the Pennsylvania Senator's
friends that he will not endeavor
to pursue it farther. The rumor at
the Capitol is that Mr.. Creel hates
the matter just as much as some OF
his friends do, and that as a hui
manitarian act Mr.. PenFose could
ingratiate himself with Mr.. Creel
by sitting still. and saying moth
ing when the resolution is spoken
