MAKE 1T WORK FOR THE STATE AS WELL.

~ TATE COMPTROLLER TRAVIS issues a statement recognizing
the obligation of the State of New York to pay principal and
interest on all outstanding bonds OF its new $780, 900, 900 Barge
Canal, and to provide for upkcep of the great waterway over which
Federal authority has extended lis conrol.
Interest, amortization and maintenance charges will make the
States Canal bill for the fiscal year which began July not far from

That so little progress has been made toward securing TO this
Commonwealth adequate return on its big investment in WATERWAYS
is one OF the instances of administrative Sowncss and incfficienc,
which it is hoped the accc!crating influence of war may render
obsblete.

Nv ylTH a concentration Of phrase which admirably fits an eer
Wv increasing concentration of national purpose, the President
in his Fourth Of July address, put the ends for which the
United States and the other Allies are fighting in four brief para
graphs, and then reduced the four paragraphs to twentythree words
What We seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent
Of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion o.
mankind.
II any hopes were entertained in Berlin that the United States
might be persuaded TO look with favor upon an early session at a
round table where peace could be negotiated by old and trusty
methods Of st~atecraft, such hopes we're routed by the President yes.
terdsy at Mount Vernon.
No compromise. "The settlement must be final. No halfwal
decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable
The ends Of the Allies, declares the President, "cannot be
achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and
Of national opportunity"
Such projects are the very essence of present German policy.
Despairing Of conquest, a German military dynasty now count;
on reconciliation and accommodation to save it from the ruin certain
to engulf it once it is beaten at its own bloody game in the field.
But it must play its chosen game to the end. The President lays
down as the first thing to be conceded to the associated peoples Of
the world "before there can be peace:
l. The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that
can separately. secretly, and OF Its single choice disturb the
peace Of the world; or. II Il cannot be presently destroyed. at
least its reduction to virtual impotence.
Neither the Kaiser, nor his Chancellor, nor his Foreign Secretary,
nor a L~udendorff, nor a IIindenburg, nor any part Of the German
people that puts its trust in military autocracy cxemplifed in All
Imperial German Government as now constituted and sustained, can
make any mistake as to the meaning Of these words.
There is to be no bargaining with Miltarsm, no diplomatic
dickcring with its representatives. If it will not abdicate so long az
its fighting machine can still be made to function, then its fighting
machine must be utterly and finally smashed.
That final smash is now the surcr by $500 900 Americans under
arms, 1,019,115 OF whom are already overseas.
The whole world knows how they are fghting-nolod better
than the Germans whom they are fighting.
And millions more like them arc going swiftly and steadily TO
the front-until the Job is done.

First Thames Steamboat.

IT HE FIRST attempt ut steam navi-
cation on the historic Thames
was made III years ago,
several years before Fulton made his
memorable trip on the Hudson In tho
Clermont. This epochal trial trip was
dismissed with a few lines by the
London newspapers. The most ex-
tended account was as follows: AN
experiment took place on the River
Thames for the purpose OF working a
barge or any other heavy craft
against tide by means OF a steam
engine OF n very simple construction.
The moment the engine was set 70
work the barge WAS brought about,
answering her helm quickly; and she
made way against a strong current,
at the rate of two miles and a half
an hour" This steam craft was a
mere malSeshift and not to be con-
sidered a real steamboat. The cen
tenary OF steam navigation on the
Thames was celebrated in 1915, an IL
was in 1916 that one Dodd brought
a steam vessel from Glasgow to Lon
don. Since then the Thames has
never been without steam vessel. =

But every normal wife simply hates and breads a holiday!
Now don't say
well, 70" heavens sake. why did she marry him.
I'll tell you why.
She married him In order to be SURE of having him around the house
in the evenings.
NOT in order toh have him around In the daytime!
Because a crowded house" as every woman knows.
Is any house with a MAN sitting around in 1t all day long!
And II you will listen closely. every weekday morning at $40
You will hear a great. deep sigh Of relief going up from all over
the city.
It is the sigh OF the WOMEN closing the doors after their husbandsi
And Mrs. browning vas all wrong when she wrote that the test Of
love is to be able TO muse all day IN a absent face"
For the REAL test is TO be able to smile all day at the face acros,
the room!
And Il 20 loving a man through years OF separation
Is far easier than TO go o ad6ng him in spite OF twenyfour hours
of proximity!
And to recall enderly a voice that is stlled"
Is NOTHING beside listening patiently 10 a voice that Is continually
chair fixed,
And why you can't do your nall In less a fifteen minutes
where you keep the muclage!
And besides.
If"yomans place is in the home'-then mans place IS in the OFFICE!
And any woman would rather try to keep a pet elephant around the
than to have a husband there all day
Because all you'd have TO do for an elephant would be to pick up
peanut shells and feed It hay.
And a n elephant wouldn't be continuously trumpeting FOR a pencil. or a
fresh pen, o a hat brush. or the bcarbonae OF soda, or the bay rum. q
The peroxide. o. the telephone book. Would It?
And there isn't any elephant in the world
That would take up more ROOM
Than a HUSBAND-on a holiday!
And It's sad to be married to a naval officer who Is never at home
But it's sadder far to be married Z a poet or a painter
Who Is always at home!
For the Ideal Husband is n who comes into the rouse promptly every
day at G p. NJ.
And goes OUT OF it promptly every day at . A NJ.
And you KNOW it!
