STUDYING PEOPLE

The law makers at Washington, es-
pecially the senators, are studying the
attitude Of the people toward the
ratification of the peace treaty. OF
course the senators desire to furnish
what the people want in the way of a
treaty and those who are in favor Of
passing the important document
should write to Senators Lenroot and
La Toilette at Washington. Some of
the senators think the question may
be carried into the next campaign
and the people of this country should
make it known they are in favor Of
a measure which will have ten
dency to prevent war.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD SPEAK

The senate has rejected the peace
treaty, League of Nations, reserya-
tons and all.
Our senators are coming home. Let
us, while they are back in the home
state, tell them where we stand. Tell
them whether you favor senatorial
reconsideration Of the treaty as it
first came to the senate, or the Lodge
resolution.
This is the public's business, and the
public should have some word in its
settlement. Senatorial postponement
of final decision gives the public the
last chance to make itself heard in
senatorial ears, now closer to the
home-state voice than when they were
in Washintgon.-N. e. A.

THE METEOR

The supposed fall OF the large
meteor in Lake Michigan should ex-
cite no one. About a million strike
the atmosphere of the earth every
twenty-four hours and the most of
them are burned to ashes, a rare few
reaching ground. These small bod
les are supposed to scattered through
space and as the earth revolvss
about the sun and the sun plunges
through space, they are met and fall
to this sphere. At the Museum of
Natural History in New York there
is large collection of bodies that
have fallen on the earth none of
which killed a person, so far as known.
To be in the direct path of one might
not be pleasant but this is not likely
to happen in thousand years

WHY SHOULD SMITH PAY PART
OF ZONES FREIGHT BTLL2

During the first eight months Of
1919 the railroad deficit in the net
earnings guaranteed by the govern
ment has been $3OO,OOO,OOO. Not
many years ago it cost only billion
dollars a year to run our entire
government Now the government
must raise nearly one-third of that
amount in taxes merely to make
good two-thirds of a years deficit in
railway operation, yet scarcely so
accustomed to enormous taxes that
they accept another $40,OO0,O0O a
month as matter not worth quibbling
over?.
Directly or indirectly every Garner
Of an income pays taxes. Unfortunate
ly most of us pay most of our taxes
indirectly and do not therefore realize
what a large sum we really pay. The
landlord passes most of his taxes on
to the tenant in the form of higher
rent. The merchant does the same
sort of thing to his customers in the
form of higher prices. So the game
of passing the tax buck goes merri-
ly on. although few realize the ex-
tent to which the "buck" serves to
reduce the amount of goods that they
can buy.
1t is estimated that the government
will pay out ten billion dollars in 1919
of $50 for every man, woman and
child, or about $3.50 for every family.
About SIS of the $3.50 is going to
make good the governments deficit
III operating the railways. Well might
each of us ask our congressman why
railway freight rates should not be
raised so as to eliminate the deficit
in net earnings, for why should not
each shipper pay his own freight bills
in full?- Engineering and Contract

Joys OF WALKING

The walker has no ak to- grind. He
shifts the air for new adventure. He
loiters in old scenes. He CLEANS in
old fields. He seeks intimacy with
mature only to surprise her preoccu-
pied with her own affairs.
He seeks her in the woods, in the
swamps, on the hills, along the
streams, by night and by day in
season and out of season. He skins
the fields and hiIlsides as the
swallow skins the air, and what
he gets is intangible to most
persons: He sees much with his eyes,
but he sees more with his heart and
imagination. He bathes in nature as
in a sea. He is alert for the beauty
that waves in the trees, that ripples
in the grass and grain, that flows in
the streams, that drifts IN the clouds,
that sparkles in the dew and rain
The hammer of the geologist, the
notebook of the naturalist, the box
of the herbalist, the. net of the en-
tomologist, are not for him, He
drives no Sharn bargain with nature
he reads no sermons in stones, no
hymns in running brooks, but he does
see good in. everything. The rocks
speak of more than geology to him,
the birds are more than ornithology,
the flowers of more than botany, the
stars of more thar astronomy the
wild creatures of more than zoology.

Rev Cameron had charge of the
service, and Rev. Maves preached the
sermon from the text Lay not up for

earth where moth and rust doth COR

Il am wondering whether daylight

failed to accomplish through legisla-

One would Judge from the plants of

to be deprived of something to which
they are legally entitled, whereas the
law enacted was strictly war meas
