whether the potatoes are raw or

A Very Pretty Story.

The governments Official Bulletin
authorizes the publication of the fol-
lowing pretty story written by a
Pennsylvania mother, who has son in
the navy, to Secretary McAdoo:
81 will state that I urged my only
soma mere lad-to enlist in the
navy in 1914. I felt that this war was
coming and I wanted him to be trained.
Only God knows what it cost me to let
him go, as I had just buried my idol
lied husband and was just recovering
from typhoid fever myself. Hospital
bills, etc., had taken nearly all I had,
but I knew God would take care Of my
little girls and myself. I have given
my brave, handsome boy to Uncle Sam,
and my only regret is that have not
six to send instead Of one, to fight for
the flag that my father fought four
years to save.
"Although I do not know just how
much insurance I will get, or allow
ance, I know it will help. In one let
ter my boy wrote thus:
Mother, I am not afraid to go into
battle or to face gun. If have to
give up my young life for my country
I will do it gladly, but can not sleep
nights thinking what will become of
my sweet little sisters and YOU Later
he wrote: Tonight I am the happiest
boy on the Atlantic, for the insurance
bill has passed, and I have taken the
full amount. Now can face anything
with smile, knowing my loved ones
will be cared for
"God grant he may return. May
God and his angels forever bless you
is mothers daily prayer"
This is the secretary's reply:
sowing to the extreme pressure Of
public business, have not been able
to acknowledge sooner your letter
thanking the government for it's war
insurance.
"Not your boy alone, but you and
your two daughters have joined the
colors in the battle to save democracy.
It is in genuine gratitude, therefore,
that our great nation provides the
liberal and far-sighted benefits of the
military and naval insurance law.
"The lofty devotion Of your son to
his country and to his mother and lit
tie sisters is equaled by your own
noble patriotism. America is proud of
you and your son, and / feel that it is
privilege to express my own admira-
ton. Your spirit is the spirit of Amer
ica-the spirit that makes America in
vincible" ..s. --.

Using these features. Protest is even
made against some one else calling at
tention to them but, on the other
hand, they do advertise what they call
a large concession of political power
to the people. Let me quote from the
aforesaid North Dakota Leader:
According to the new amendments
the legislature would have no power,
as at present, to pass on amendments
of the constitution which have been
enacted by the people. Amendments
to the constitution of the state may
also. be proposed by an initiative petit
ton of the electors; 49,. and any
amendment or amendments so pro-
posed shall be submitted to the cleo
tors and become a part Of the con-
stitution, if the majority Of the votes
cast thereon are affirmative" ;. "The
veto power of the governor shall not
extend to the measure initiated by or
referred to the electors" .. eff
conflicting measures initiated by or re-
ferred to the electors shall be approved
by majority Of the votes cast there
on, the one receiving the highest num-
Der Of affirmative votes shall become
the law" :. "The proposed amend
ments provide for publicity pamphlet
to be mailed to each elector, and con-
tanning copy of each measure with
its ballot title, to be submitted at the
election. Arguments for and against
the measure may be printed in the

pamphlet at the rate Of 5000 page"
Is the farmer expected to buy this
space? The big interests would surely
make full use Of it more than others
and so would get an advantage. Other
quotations could be given but these
are sufficient to give some idea of the
kind of law, constitutional and statu-
tory, that may be enacted. Judson
King charges that our representative
systemis cumbersome and full Of safe
guards and restrictions" Surely it is
not less cumbersome to enact by popu-
lar vote. The removal Of all safe
guards, etc., with all other conditions
combined, looks. too much like plan
whereby democracy is to be its own
hangman. After this it may be
possible to reorganize somewhat on the
socialists party plan in which four
men constituting the national execu-
tive committee administer the affairs
of the party! It is my candid opinion
that such change would be dangerous
experiment at any time and much more
SO now during the war.
1t is charged that the source of all
this information is "plainly hostile"
and unreliable" I am surprised at
this. When Napoleon lay dying his
last words were about the 'army," and
it was said. of him, ''The ruling pas
sion. was strong in DEATH" Who
knows how many another N-P-L-
with disappointed ambitions may make
his exit with the words on his lips:
e-lies-of- he-hostile-press." The
ruling passion: Even in health we
have observed that this may become so
overmastering as to destroy mans
judgment-the power of distinction
between friend and foe. Hence man
nominated by the Nonpartisan league
for high political honors in the mo-
ment of such alteration denounces
their own official press as "plainly
hostile to the farmers movement" and
mot reliable" as a source of informa-
ton. We will not say much about this,
however, because, after all, there may
be some truth in what he says, and
grounds for the charge.
Yours very truly,
Richard Hamer.

Mccormack Pays Presidents Salary.

y
John Mccormack has become almost
an institution. Wherever he goes to
raise his voice in song huge auditor
iums are packed. No home is regard
ed as complete unless it has phono-
graph with Mccormack record. 1t
even precedes the f1ivver in the evolu-
ton of family life. So when Mr.. Nc
Cormack appeared before the collector
of internal revenue m New York and
turned over his check for his income
tax we were all interested. For al
most every one of us had had some
thing to do with the creation of that
income. The check was for $4,000,
thus proving that Mr.. Mccormack
voice strikes note of purer gold than
Signor Caruso, whose income required
a payment Of but $4,000. That $751;
900, was, in it's way, our most popular
tenor's accounting to his admirers for
the pecuniary expression of their ad-
miration. BY coincidence it equaled
the salary of the president Of the Unit,
ed States. In effect, Mr.. Mccormack
said to the American people, "Since
you have been so generous with me, I
will pay your highest salaried official,
the president of the United States"

A DeSOlated Paradise

p Lovers used to stroll arm in arm
through the well-ordered forests of
Verdun. To stroll arm in arm where
these forests once stood is no longer
possible. You must go alone. If
there has been rain you should have
nails in your boots. The smooth con-
volutions of the hills have been tor
tured and turned into ridges and hol-
lows like the Atlantic ocean during the
equinoctial gales.
I doubt if there has been found one
single square yard of the original
forest floor. I doubt if there is to be
found one single perfect example of
shell crater. One crater breaks into
the next; and there merged into one
shocking hollow, are dozen which at
the first moment of looking appeared
to have been but one.
1t has been we'll and truly worked"
that forest floor; but not for 100 years
can it ever again be worked by man in
any peaceful and profitable pursuit.
Rich soil double rich now, it will be
Stunned by the farmer with his pillow;
prospect very rich in copper and
iron, the prospector will shun it; for
here, hurled and half buried, the shells,
great and little, which did not explode
at all, are as thick as temptation in
the life Of every man.-Gouverneur

The Airplane of the Future.


Captain F. M. Green, in the Scien-
tifc American, has the following to
say of the airship's future and it is a
safe bet that his prophecy will mate
rialize: .i...~--
"We have no logical right to think
that our flying machines of today are
more than the crudest caricatures of
the airplanes Of the future. We en-
gineers are little apt to become so
engrossed in our immediate difficult
ties of design that we do not see fur
Their ahead than is suggested by our
own ideas, and make predictions for
the future that only follow along the
lines of progress that we can clearly
see. f.'*5%'- - 81 i
''The writer has often been asked if
he thinks that flying will ever be-
come an ordinary means Of travel.
His answer is that he does not think,
but that he knows it will become So.
Ten years ago to attempt to fly from
place to place was considered suicide;
five years ago it was an adventure;
today to many Of us it is very ordi-.
nary affair. A few years more and we
shall laugh to think of the airplanes
of which we are now proud, We shall
shudder at the risks we ran, and we
shall travel with comfort, speed and
safety"
