John PurrOy Mitchell in the Cam
palgn Of 1918.

The political campaign in this State,
and particularly In this city, in the
fall of 1913, will be of peculiar inter
est to students Of American public
affairs. This will not be because of
the supremely important issues Deepen.
dent on Its outcome, or because Of the
rivalry of two individuals for sue
cess in the canvass, or even because
of the first appearance Of women at
the polls in II general election. Su-
premely important issues depend on
the outcome of every State campaign I;
personal rivalries are the common
places of politics; the women voters
have already been classified through
their conduct in other States.
The real philosophic interest in the
next campaign will centre in Its char
acter and processes as they are infiu-
enced by the life and death Of JOHN

A Problem OF wilhelm and His Colt.

In the Kaiser's latest testimony to

"trusty military leaders," contained
in message answering a congratu-
latory telegram from the University
Of Cologne, a phrase appears slightly
different from the All Highest's GUS

his Colt toward Prussian military
enterprises.

mind Of WILHELM.

THE WEDDING INVITATION.
Its Free Use Of Fine Paper Condemned
By . Conservationist

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: The
action Of the Government in restricting
the use Of paper clearly indicates every
possible means should be used to avoid
any waste.
| 1t would seem that one Of the greatest
forms Of waste paper used nowadays Is
in wedding invitations and announce
ments.
The usual form and what all the sta
TONERS insist upon Is that announce
ments or invitations shall be engraved
on a double fold sheet Of paper and
double envelopes. that is. an inside one
and an outside one.
This is an absolute waste. as the same
purpose can be covered In every way
with a card neatly engraved and one
envelope.
Wedding invitations and announce
ments are generally thrown away. and
saving OF time both in the folding and
addressing could be saved as we'll as a
vast amount Of paper.

by the bonds Of epistolary form:
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE suN-ST: With
reference to Dear Sir Yours truly
and similar forms often seen in episto-
larry productions. I would like to know
whether such phraseS are supposed to
be actually complimentary or. on the
contrary. mere forms, and whether the
omission Of either or both Of the given
phrases can be, or Is. In any lexico-
graphic or legal sense. construable as
evidence showing or tending to show
lack OF amity or Of good breeding, or OF
both, on the part Of the person who
omits.

According to the dictionaries, the
dear" preceding the "sir" Is sup
posed to convey some measure Of
esteem. Actually the adjective has
come to be regarded by most persons
as necessary part Of a salutation
which may be perfunctory. Letters
full of rage, hate and recrimination
are as likely to begin with Dear
Sir" as with the stiff "Sir." Dear
Sir" may mean milne enemy"
yours truly" Is another phrase
with frequently false face. Even
the dictionaries do not regard 1t as
more than a formal expression. Men
have used 1t in writing to sheriffs
from whom they have escaped. 1t
Is often unconsciously written where
"Wishing to have nothing more to do
with you" would better express the
feelings of the writer. II am, sir"
would sometimes be more exact and
less hypocritical.

JONES of Missoula county, Montana,
on the kind Of peace treaty he wanted.
Senator SMoor pointed out almost
tearfully to the Montana Senator that
the Public Printer was unable. to get
paper enough to print important re-
ports and other matter of value. In
doing SO he said:
THE Public Printer has secured the
country from one end to the other for
employees and paper. and 1t is impossi-
BILE to keep UP the printing of extraneous
matter in the Record.
-Four tons Of print paper are used
every day for printing tho Official
tCreelI Bulletin, just that one publica-
ton alone. and there are some forty
seven publicity bureaus"
1t should be remembered that
neither the Bulletin nor the publica-
lions of any one Of the forty-seven
publicity bureaus have ever printed
one line of matter the newspapers
have not printed, except only such
matter as newspapers refuse to print
for the reason that no one would read
It IL they did print 1t. Yet the Bull
lctin and the forty-seven publicity
bureaus publications spoil thousands
Of tons year Of good print paper,
pile upon the desk of rhe Public
Printer more copy than he can hire
compositors TO set up, and add sub
stantially to the sum Of money which
must be raised by taxes, all to flatter
or to provide unessential employment
for few score of vain or necessitous
and not brilliant persons.
