BEAUTIES AND THE OTHERWISE.

Scientists of certain sort appear to have
figured it out to their satisfaction how it hap
pens that an individual is handsome or the re-
verse. There is q reason, they say, why one
is that all the knowledge to be had upon the
same family perhaps, is homely as a hedgehog;
anybody may know just how it happened who
studies the scientists system. But the trouble
is that all the knowledge to be had upon the
subject leaves the people who would be hand
some just as homely as they are To explain to
persons why they are homely, how they could
not have been otherwise and cannot change 1t
now, brings them scant comfort at the best The
fact that these things are so is what worries the
average human, and not how it came about.
Briefly, the spectators this subject have
elaborated theory that homely fathers have
homely daughters and handsome mothers have
handsome sons. There is much more to 1t, and
the spectators undertake to show how newt
able and easily applicable all the seeming
exceptions to their beauty transmission law. Ii
their theories are correct and marrying couples
select each other and their grandparents with
sufficient care, succeeding generations may
profit thereby. But the difficulty is that matrl-
monial adventures will not do this. They are
prone to consult their personal preferences
rather than to have the pulchritude of poster1ty
in mind and where they cannot choose their
partners and get just what they want they take
what they can get without regard to any intrl-
cate system by which nature is supposed to
work. Any persons interested TO discover why
they are so painfully plain or why their hope
fuls are so plebeian- looking while that dread
fully common looking couple across the street
have lovely little sprite of girl or boy Like
storybook prince, are welcome to study the
matter out But it hardly seems that there
would be any consolation in knowing what
ight have been when facts are what they are
and fixed beyond all possibility of change

WHEAT CROP A BUMPER ONE.

The United States not only has bumper"
wheat crop, according to all reports, but
through the assistance Of state and federal
agencies and the cooperation of townspeople
in providing productive labor it is believed that
The crop will be harvested in excellent condl
ton. There will also be plenty of cars to move
the crop with the least possible waste and de-
Law. The box car situation is reported by the
railroad administration to be better at the
present time than it has been at any period
within the past three years. Thousands OF cars
are already located in wheat-loading territory,
which was not the case last year. Food saving
must continue for some time; but with the ia
vorable crop prospects, the improved facilities
for moving crops, and the lessening of the sub
marine peril, we may reasonably predict that
the dark days of food shortage for our allies
and our own people will soon pass away. Our
farmers have not been slackers in food produc-
ton, and the government activities for the dis
tribution and the conservation of the farm pro-
ducts are apparently prepared to operate on a
more efficient basis than during the passing
season.

ZONE POSTAL RATESA
POLITICAL STROKE AT
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Chicago Herald and Examiner:
When, in a letter to the ways and
means committee, Mr.. Charles E
Hughes described the zone postal law
as an "illadvised, decidedly looking
backward" measure, he put its charac-
teristics in a phrase.
No man whose mind has a national
horizon could possibly contemplate
without disgust and alarm any legis-
lation which would confine organs
of information and of education to
a limited zone about their place Of
publication, or else fine the publisher
who sent them beyond these limits
or the reader who was unfortunate
enough TO live at a distance.
This law, which went into effect
on Monday, is piece OF Bourbon
democracy. 1t is a recurrency OF the
old spirit Of narrow mindedness and
reaction which intelligent citizens
thought the democratic party had out
grown 1t is an attempt to limit the
usefulness of the public press as an
educator and to make OF it only a
great body of purely local and pa
rochial organs.
The administration will surely suf-
fer through this unwise legislation.
It is most deplorable that when
the administration itself is engaged
in such tremendously important WORK
as now engrosses it's attention and is
so successfully prosecuting its en-
deavors to push war preparations
and war operations to the fullest ex-
tent, unnecessary and unwise meas
ures of this kind are given the ap-
pearance of administration measures
to the injury of the administration
and perhaps to its eventual undoing.

The country Will resent this effort
to hobble and to handicap the wide
dissemination of news and of educa-
ton Newspaper and periodical
readers who find their bills for
knowledge increased wantonly and
needfessly, at a time when every
other cost of living is mounting high,
will not fail to express at the polls
their opinion of this action.
The democratic party and the ad-
ministration are going to need all the
help that they can get They ought
to secure a united press and united
people back OF that press. Why
should they now go out of their way
to harass the press by these stupid
and short-sighted measures? And not
that alone. The public, the voting
public, which is to be denied the
right to obtain the publications it
desires at the old prices, the normal
prices it has been used to, will be
indignant-and justly so.
The measure Of that Indignation
will infallibIy be registered at the
polls, and should properly be SO reg
istered, for there is nothing so i'm.
portant in a democracy as the uni
versal enlightenment of it's citizens
The price of liberty is eternal yigi-
lance, and the price of democracy is
universal education.
That people has the best right to
govern which is the best fitted to
govern through the fullest informa-
ton and education of its citizens.
Those who are foes to the general
information and education of the
masses are foes to democracy. and
the people of the United States should
recognize them as such.

A PRACTICAL IDEA.

The United States war salvage commission
is proposed by bill introduced by Congress
man Good, of Iowa. Mr. Goods plan is to
find good use for the immense amount Of real
estate, buildings and miscellaneous equipment
that has been acquired for war purposes, but
which will have to be diverted to some other
channel after peace is declared. The measure
directs the secretaries of war and the navy and
the chairman of the Emergency Fleet corpora
ton, after the conclusion Of the war, to turn
over to the salvage commission all of their real
estate and equipment that is no longer needed
The commission is then to sell it or make use
of it in the manufacture of dyes, chemicals or
other products the demand for which is in ex
cess of the domestic supply. Making use of
what one has is the acme of perceptibility, and
on this score the proposal of Congressman
Good is to be commended.

CALLS FOR QUICK ACTION.

According to news dispatches from Wash
fngton, we are likely to exchange the former
Russian premier Alexander Kerensky for Colo
mel House. Kerensl1y is coming to plead with
the administration to aid in restoring Russia to
stable government conditions and to the allied
fold. Colonel House is to go to Russia as the
presidents confidential emissary to discover
how this can be done, if it can be done at all.
Kerensk lost his premiership and Russia her
place OF honor through too much talking and
too little action. Colonel House has never
talked too much to lose anything. It is safe to
say that in Russia he would adhere to his pol
