w. G.. McAdoo, secretary OF the
treasury, and generally recognized TO
be the ablest man in President VIII
son cabinet, resigned his job. the
resignation to take effect January /.
Mr.. McAdoo was director of railroads
also, and he lays down that job when
he retires from the cabinet. The rea-
son given was that the salary OF the
position Is insufficient and Mr.. Nc
Adoo finds 1t necessary TO return TO
commercial life. While the salary Is
woefully insufficient, that fact alone
Is not the underlying cause of the
resignation. 1t Is stated by those who
are IN position to know what Is going
on behind the scenes that the true in
wardness OF the move is the disagree
ment between McAdoo and President
Wilson over some OF the policies OF
the latter especially the seizure of the
cables. Others say that there Is a
distinct demarcation OF cliques de-
yeloping i'm the democratic camp at
Washington and that opposition with
in the ranks is growing, Other de-
velopments may be expected in the
near future.

Mrs. Bowser. "They say that hot salt

"Why not try the hot water bag?"

Just then the tooth, having been

gave a jump which brought a groan
from the owner. Mr.. Bowser tried to
hide the groan with sneeze, but he

The jumping tooth was not salts

foot or two. 1t went right on jumping
five or six times, and at the last jump
it seemed to Mr.. Bowser that it jumped
clear to the ceiling. He struck gait
something like waltz, and went
around the room twice before the
tooth settled back to it's old habits.
Then he was pale, and looked exhaust

"Mr. Bowser, know you are very

see you go through this needless suf-

stepped very softly and very slow. He
arrived at the drug store ten minutes

go in with a jovial salutation, and to
talk about the war and other things,
but when he went in there was nothing
jovial about him. He was so far from
being jovial that the druggist called

1t would be well If every American
would dispossess his mind of two pop
,ular and pleasing fallacies. First, that
the United States took up arms as a
knight Grant to right the wrongs of
France and Belgium. Second, that our
impressive entrance into the war must
inevitably, and of itself, decide the is
sue. We are fighting as a free people
for our own safety, and we must fight
hard and well, or suffer a shameful
defeat. Germany denied us the seas
because she thought we would accept
our fate from her hands. She permits
herself now a profound contempt for
our army. Unframed men with defec-
tive ammunition are about as terrible
in her eyes as prairie dogs would be
in ours. she boasts happily that we
will pay her the indemnity which is
essential for her reconstruction.
Meanwhile, to make sure of our
downfall, she plots reasonably In
every state of the Union. Perhaps, IL
she wins the day, she will recompense
such men as Senators Stone and La
Toilette, and Mayor Thompson of Chi
cago. More likely she will fling them
on the scrap-heap. But loyal Ameri-
cans may well understand that unless
this nation puts forth all Its strength,
without reserve, without fatigue, with
out selfpity; unless We crush the trail
tors at home, and defeat the enemy
abroad, a bitter future awaits US. At
best, we shall be Inundated, 1mpover-
Lshed, and crippled in our foreign
trade for many years to come At
worst, we shall see IN our land the
blazing homes, the ravished women.

shame and horror which max the
