ed team demonstration in seed corn

boys made very able demonstrators

interesting and useful. Clarence did
the talking and Fred the operation of

Summer Business and Service.

According to the calendar wef are now in the
summer season and SO far as weather is concerned
this year will be the any other summer in
Washington. But the usual lethargy which accom-
panies summer business will be missing from
Washington this year.
So far the stores of the city concerned
the greatest problem for the summer is to get help
to handle the enormous business which will
naturally gravitate to the stores through the me
dunn Of increased population and wartime pros
perity.
The war, now the most important business OF
the nation absorbing as it does all interests and
activities OF the country, will not permit much of
rest or vacations. When one thought monopozes
all minds, people don't feel il they should enjoy
a vacation. The condition of railroads, most
of whose business is devoted to war requirements,
is also not such to make travelling for pleasure
attractive. 1t is doubtful whether there will
be special excursion rates this summer 1t is bet
ter that business go on in summer time without
relaxation when children the battle6elds arc
fighting and bleeding for the nations hopes and
aims.
The answer to the problem OF lack OF help
must be furnished by the Of the city. The
draft rulings going to make serious inroads
in the man power of Washington and it is up to
the women of Washington to go to work The day
has passed when a should feel any COM
junction about going out OF the home and taking
useful employment.
Already The Washington Herald has begun en-
ploying women to do work formerly done by men.
Four women have been given positions on the edi-
torial staff of the paper and girl is carry
ing newspaper route. And we can add further
that every is making good in her particular
position.

The FiIbuster.

Picayunish refuge in the hhbuster was taken
yesterday by the bitter enemies of woman suffrage
who dare not allow it to come to vote in the
Senate.
We hope the spectre and the Nemesis of this
6libuster follows them into their homes and into
their political fortunes misfortunes we hope il
dogs them day and night until they know what
penalty must be paid for the wilful blocking OF
progress through unfair means.
These are days when the liberal and the progress
sive is in position to make his own terms with
the hard-shells He does not have to wait, or beg,
or cajole. 1t should go hard with those who cross
his path. Those who persist in thinking in the
school of an outworn age should either be brought

Where Father Was Weak.

dell, of Louisiana, referred to the ability that some
people have in making excuses, and recalled an
anecdote along that line.
Some time since the call of the wild proved too
irresistible for Willie, and when the school bell
rang he was far away trying to fit objecting
worm to fish hook. The next day he was called
to the front by the teacher.

The S-hour Amendment.

President Wilson cannot consistently sign the
legislative appropriation act containing the unfair
Borland S-hour amendment although to veto it
might cause both himself and Congress considerable
embarrassment.
1t is unfortunate that the Objectionable amend
ment is linked with urgent legislative executive
and judicial bill, veto of which might cause
serious delay of highly important legislation
Thousands of loyal government employees anxi-
ousy await the Presidents decision 1t is hoped
that he will take the fearless position, which
has been so laudatory and characteristic of his
administration and in the of justice veto the
measure.
\ President Wilson's attitude of fairness toward
labor is an open book. Employees never had a
more staunch champion. He has warned time and
time again of the seriousness of friction between
employe>and employer.
The success with which nation participates in
this war is measured by its organization, unity
unselhshness. Our country was never more har-
monioHsly organized than it is at present Co.
operation means success but compel and you i'm

We sometimes wonder what Mr. Borland's idea
OF patriotism isl
Did he ever give the patriotism of government
employees thought?
If he did it was biased thought, or he would
have made some allowance for the unselhsh con-
trihution OF government employees to victory
Why is Mr.. Borland so meageriy informed that
he does not know that government employees arc
already working eight and. more hours a day
True, thisJs not their standard day, but employees

Italy.

Yes it is true that bread cast upon the waters
returneth. Italy is repayng her sister allies for
the and money loaned her last year when
combined German and Austrian armies thrust her
back to the Pave and threatened her with the fate
of Serbia and Belgium. Then it was that Britain
and France hurried into the breach beyond
the Alps, and America sent food and loaned money
for munitions.
That was the bread France, Great Britain and
the United States cast upon the waters.
1t would have been deep thrust into the heart
of the allied cause if Austrian legions overran
Italy as German hordes stand ready for other
thrusts at Paris and the Channel ports. But Italy
stood firm. Italy did more, she forged ahead, and
Austro- German dreams of Italian conquest were
shattered by Italian shrapnel and bayonet.

A few minutes later he gave himself
up to the police AT the time of the
