an annual cost Of severed millions of
public money. The issue for Decem.

NAL that he asked Bryan's resignation,
hardly a matter concerning the war;
an article on Japanese currency, The
Amusing Incident of the Accommodating
Prizehghter," by the humorist, Ellis
Parker Butler, a very thrilling "Des-
perate Desmond" story of ~ballooning
over there" by a captain of the avia-
ton Corps, and other matter foreign
to the purpose for which the Bulletin
was said to be intended. Creel seems
to be running the Pulitzer School of
Journalism a close heat, the difference,
being that he pays his students fat
salaries monthly.

SHOOT HOLES THROUGH PORK BARREL

The question of the survival of the pork bar.
rel at Washington is raised by the promise that
house republicans will have a numerical ad-
vantage now that congress has reconvened
after the holiday recess. Since the present ses-
sion opened four democratic representatives
have announced that they would retire to take
up other work, and one has died. Two hun
dred and nine democrats remain, the exact num-
Der at which the republican strength is esti-
mated. The advantage will be with the re-
publicans now that Representative. Murray
Hubert has been made commissioner of docks
and ferries of New York City. No reorganiza-
ton of the house is expected, though it is a pos
sibility. But it is believed that the republican
members will improve their opportunity bv
making a fight for the elimination of the pork
barrel by supporting the presidents demand
for a single appropriating committee. Advo-
Gates of this change will not work along strictly
party lines, for it is expected that reform will
be opposed by a few republicans. On the other
hand, some democrats are known to favor It.
and a lineup is expected to show a majority for
that economy in public expenditure which
would be promoted by adoption of the single
approp1atlng committee plan. The pork bar.
rel has had many friends in both parties, and
prediction as to whether it is to 90 would be
useless. But it is worth while to attempt it's re-
moval now, when the reformers are strength

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
PEACE OVER EARTH AGAIN.

Rejoice, o world OF troubled men;
For peace is coming back again
Peace to the trenches running red.
Peace to the hosts OF the fleeing dead,
Peace to the fields where hatred raves,
Peace to the trodden battle-graves.
Twill be the Peace the Master left
To hush the world of peace bereft-
The Peace proclaimed in lyric cries
That night the angels broke the skies.
Again the shelltorn hills will be
All green with barley to the knee;
And little children sport and run
In love once more with earth and sun.
Again in rent and ruined trees
Young leaves will sound like silver seas;
And birds now stunned by the red uproar
VIII build in happy boughs once more;
And to the bleak ~uncounted graves
The grass will run in silken waves:
And a great hush will softly fall
On tortured plain and mountain wall,
Now wild with cries OF battling hosts
And curses of the fleeing ghosts.
And men will wonder over it
This red upflaming of the Pit;
And they Will gather as friends and say,
Come, let US try the Masters way.
Ages We tried the way of swords,
And earth is weary of hostile hordes.
Comrades, read out His words again:
They are the only hope for men!
Love and not hate must come to birth;
Christ and not Cain must rule the earth"
Markham.

AIimentation and Production.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The inter-allied conference has TAX
en- up alimentation from a scientific
standpoint. In this country a medical
Journal has opened it's columns to sug-
Igestlons on well-balanced nutrition
with a view to get a working formula
that will aid in solving the food prob
lem. But of course agricultural pro-
duction is in practical thought no lass
a great question. Italy has taken
over all land. This does not mean
scientific methods of organization. In
this country much has been staked on
cooperative marketing and other
forms or mere loose association, and
this is not scientific either. The word
has gone out that we need this or that
food factory. 1t is clear that so long
as sources of production are in mortal
hands legally the supply to any sort
OF association factory is uncertain and
the life of an industry is too apt to be
that of a leading producer of raw ma
terial. The growers clock cannot be
expected to stand ninety years On the
floor. but a farm corporation should
legally be perpetual and the individual
only can mind the clock. Country life
has not been chronologically investf-
gated in spite of the fact the farm is
on a social and individual basis and
not on a business basis. True, the Dor
rowing OF money through a special
corporation as under the federal farm
loan act is as a little leaven and also
the control Of directors salaries, but
Interpretation at least has effectually
cut off the farm corporation from the
chance to borrow through the official
corporation. Russia has taken over
all banking but she has only morta1s
as customers. 1t is clear a farm cor
poratfon system would lessen the
strain on bankers evident in the rise
of farm lands, provided the nation gets
rid of the idea that property put into
shares must have cash value. The
mere taxing of shares or a proportion
al basis at cash value shows the ma
ton is capable Of some business even
if it is not politically skilled nor leg
ally competent.
