London. Confirmation has been re-

Phil Armstrong Of the Times
Union writes so pathetically about
the sorrows Of married men who have
sore feet from holes in their socks,
and who have no Buttons on their
pants, because their wives are so busy
knitting for the soldiers, that it is to
be inferred that Mrs. Armstrong is a
Jealous worker for our boys in khaki.
For the benefit of Phil and other pat
riots whose wives have volunteered
into the great army of knitters, we
will try to disseminate the informa-
tion that there is mighty good, thick
cotton sock that can be bought for Is
cents pair. It is not stylish but
it's plenty good enough for man who
doesn't go to war. Also there is a
mighty convenient steel button, which
sells at 10 cents for box of two
dozen, and which any man can fasteh
on for himself in thirty seconds, and
when it is once on it will stay on un-
til the garment wears out. With
these modern conveniences right to
his hand, also to his foot, we don't
see why any patriot should crumbs
at his women folks knitting for the
soldiers. Let the good work go on.

Civilians know very little about
army customs, and when they inter
fere with them they generally make
muddle of it. Representative Cary of
Wisconsin has introduced into Con-
gress bill forbidding any officer in
the army from employing a private
as servant. Mr.. Cary may not know
any better, but he is probably trying
to play politics, and he is possibly
trying to cater to the pro-German
element in his district milwaukee,
which is of course pleased with any
interference with the army. The reg
ulations of the army already forbid
an officer compelling private to do
any mental work. They do not, how
ever, forbid an officer from employing
a private who is willing to work for
him, and we don't see why they should
Mr.. Cary seems trying to convey the
impression that the officers are set
Of snobs, too lazy to do their own
work, and compelling soldiers to per-
form degrading tasks for them for no
pay. The fact is that most officers of
our army, who are always required to
present neat appearance, are near
Iy all hard-worked, and if one en-
ploys servant it is more to give
him more time to apply to his duties
than for any other reason. If an Of
ficer can find a man in his company
or regiment who is willing to keep his
clothes in order, and such other tasks,
it seems to the Star that it's nobody's
business but that of the two parties
concerned. If officers must employ
men outside the service, it will great
ly increase not only their own ex.
pense but the number of camp follow
ers, among whom are likely to be
spies. Soldiers as rule do not think
very highly of those of their comrades
who are willing to act as servants.
They call them dogrobbers and in
other ways show contempt for them.
But no soldier has to do such work
unless he is willing, and if he is will
ing, it's his own affair.

Twenty-eight years ago, there came
up in Congress asmeasure called the
force bill introduced to give the fed
eral government almost complete con-
troll of elections. It caused more anger
and apprehension in The South than
any measure since reconstruction.
Southern congressman fought it to a
finish, and aided by few northern
democrats, prominent among whom
was David B. Hill, defeated it. The
equal suffrage amendment, If adopted
by the states, will practically give the
federal government the same control
of elections that the force bill would
have given. We suppose those of our
southern women who are working for
the measure are aware of this, but
they don't seem to care.

Retail merchants are now trying t.
get rid of an evil they have saddled
on themselves. For the last twenty
five years they have spoiled their
customers by free delivery of goods
IN the most disproportionately small
amounts. Each store tried to gain
custom by the quick delivery of any
amount of goods, from nickePs
worth up. Consequently, the average
American housekeeper, instead of or
dering for week, or even day, at
a time, would go to the phone and
order goods "sent up" two or three
times. a day. This habit is one the
council of national defense is cnowttry-
ing to wean the people from, and it is
having uphill work.

The greatest reason why we have
no confidence in Billy Sunday is that
ne commentaries religion. He doesn't
go where the spirit calls him, as the
apostles of old were said to have
adone--he books his dates in advance,
like . grand opera singer or prize
tighter, only he demands more. It
would be pretty safe bet that few
OF Billy Sundays converts stick. Peo-
pie who "get religion" under such in
fiuence, generally lose it soon after
the influence is withdrawn.
