tai, and certain to terminate with Mr..
Kitchin's retirement from the chair
manship from which he ought to have
been ousted, in decency long ago, the
public interest in the postal rates
which Mr.. Kitchin has managed by
shrewd work to fix on second class
mail matter is very real and imme-
diate. The Kitchin plan was slipped
into the revenue bill where it never
belonged and it is scheduled to go
into effect on July 1. If it does a
state of the uttermost confusion is
sure to result Mr.. Kitchin is talk
ing now about a newspaper lobby"
at Washington and even hits at the
President and members of his cabinet
as being amenable to it's influence
The fact is as Mr.. Glass Of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers associ;a-
tion, has pointed out, that such lob
by exists only in Mr.. Kitchin's plan
for crippling the newspapers correct
ed. That they surely had a right to
do and their work moreover has besn
directly in the public interest. To
show how true this last statement is
it is enough to point out that under
the Kitchin plan one rate would be
charged on that part of a paper con-
tanning advertisements and another
on that part containing reading mat
ter; and that both these rates would
change every so many miles. The i'm :
possibility of carrying out such a plan
even if it's unwisdom and unjustices
were not clear, should be easily ap-
parent. Even the smallest newspa =
pers would find it cumbersome and
tedious work to figure out each day
just what they owed the government
in the way of postage. On larger
papers force of expert accountants
would be required for this task alone;
and how the government would checl,
on the payments is mystery. The
fact is of course that the Kitchin
plan was not meant to produce rev.
enue for the government and it was
| not meant as fair postal charge for
second class mail matter. It was in
tended as blow at the press. It was
Mr. Kitchin's method Of getting ever
| with the newspapers because they
supported President Wilson rathe,
than himself in the course this coun-
try took leading up to ard following
| the entrance Of the United States into
| the war. A man who will use hi:
official powers in the way Mr.. kitchir
has done has given the best possible
exhibition cf his unfitness to be il
public life at all cr for that matte
to occupy any position of trust or re
sponsibility

A DRIVE FOR NURSES.
American Red Cross Begins Ter
Days Intensive Campaign for
Nurses.

Atlanta, May 31.-From the Office
of the surgeon general, U. S. army,
Washington, D. c.: II am informed
that on the third day of June it is
the intention of the American Red
Cross to start drive for nurses for
the United States army. The Amer
lean Red Cross is the great recruit
ing agency for army nurses, and
through this agency wish to appeal
to the nurses of the country to enroll
for service in the nursing corps of
the army. The need of great num-
ber of nurses is acute and any assist
ance that the American Red Cross can
render this department in obtaining
for the army nurse corps the number
of nurses required will be of great
W. G. GoRGAs,
Surgeon General, U. S. A.
To supply this acute need of nurses
reported by Surgeon General Gorgas
and to enroll additional nurses for
the navy nurse corps, the American
Red Cross will start on Monday, June
8, an intensive campaign of ten days
to enroll graduate nurses eligible for
military service and to encourage
high school and college graduates to
become student nurses in the army
school of nursing and in municipal
and other hospitals.
In view of this need for nurses. the
director of the American Red Cross
nursing service has advanced this
drive from June 10 to June 3. It's
primary purpose is to add before Jan
uary first more than $4,000 additional
nurses to the army and navy nurse
corps which have already secured more
than 10000 military nurses through
the agency of the American Red
Cross. This is believed to be the
largest number of graduate nurses
ever mobilized for any army.
Every division of the American Rec
Cross. all committees on American
Red Cross nursing service, and every
Red Cross chapter throughout the
United States will have an active par
in this campaign to enroll nurses
Within the ten days beginning JUNE
8 it is planned to reach every nurs'
who has graduated from a Recognized
training school for nurses and t
bring before the students in hcspita
training schools the immediate need
of the army and navy. Every meas
ure will be employed to bring HON

It turns out that we are not so badly
eff after all in the matter of airplane
production. A short while back there
was considerable distrust. to say The
least. Some folks we're in transports
Of rage and Indignation over what
they termed waste and burgling inef-
ficiency. Almost every person felt
& certain amount of trepidation over
the way things seemed to have turn
ed out. And at the time there ap-
Deared tc be some justification for the
latter. But now the trouble seems to
have been due to scantiness of in
formation and surplus of misinfor-
nation Nobody knew anything defi-
mite. consequently statements of all
sorts of imagined doings and misdo-
ires were given circulation and Gre
dence.
Now the House committee on mill
tary affairs after its own inquiries
gives out some cheering information
We find that we have a total of
5.076 planes, 3,760 in this country,
:, ,216 abroad. Of which 321 of the lat
ter are battle planes. None of these
321 battle planes was built in this
country, but American mechanics
built them with American materials
in British and French factories. But
y, oduction in appreciable quantities
has begun in this country. and will
increase with the passage of time.
Where that S64O 100000 went wor-
ried lot of people. That seemed
such large sum of money and there
seemed to be so little to show for it.
It has been accounted for. DUST about
one-haf of it has been spent for the
production of those 5,076 planes, for
engines and equipment for aviation
fields and buildings. The remainder
| of the sum has been obligated for
| more planes, engines, machine guns
ammunition, bombs, instruments
| clothing. etc. Liberty motors have
also been turned out in rather large
quantities for the army and navy and
for the use of our allies and ourselves
abroad
That statement, which certainly
bore signs Of German propaganda, e
the effect that our soldiers in the
| trenches were not protected by planes
has been refuted. The chief of staff
| is authority for the statement that
they have always had as many plane:
as they could use.
| The situation is full of encourage
1ent. When plans for quantity pro
i ductlon are matured and the manufac
turers of airplanes strike their full
stride more encouragement can b,
10 oked for.

ME. KITCHIN AND

Charleston News and Courier.


Mr. kitchin, cf North Carolina, who
is rab:dly bent on destroying the
American press if he can, is not a
figure Of special interest TO the Amer
lean people. Indeed he would attract
no attention if it were not for the
unfortunate fact that he happens,
thanks to the miserable system which
exists in congress Of parceling out
chairmanships, to be at the head Of
the highly important ways and means
committee of the house, and by virtue
of that position nominal leader of the
Democrats. His leadership is entire
ly nominal, for on practically every
big question Mr.. Kitchin has been ir
opposition to President Wilson. He
thinks himself a great ADLER and a
great deal better than Woodrow VIII
son.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose
Days Work.

4, Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give to children /;
they like it.

Janis looking on, When they are fin
ishedt she frankly doffs her riding
skirt and uncomfortable riding
breeches and boots and proceeds to
do the Lariat dance she has Just seen.
With. toes tripping prettily in perfect
time she dances inside the whirling
rope which by means Of her supple
wrist, all the time describes flying
hoop around her like the hoop Of a
crinoline. And the marvey of it is
that her dance is far more expert
than those of Art Accord and his
boys, who are genuine cowboys, bred
and brought up on ranch and range.
'Nearly a Lady," the third of the
film comedies Elsie Janis has played
for Bosworth, Inc, is her favorite.
Filled with action of a new kind and
carrying pretty love story it quite
justifes her preference.
