PUBLIC WORKS.

-. FenIsylVanla, wFSch has law providing for
the extension OF t'fublic works during periods of
tsstSasc crlai Uncertainty or DEPRESSION is making
use ol IL 70 tide over industries from war to a
peace oa7 Is. Public construction of various Sorts
Pyle or difficult while the war was in pro
9iSs1aasis now being encouraged. The authorities
are lot content with merely promoting state work
~ are urging counties and cities to follow the
Iffame plan.
= A letter sent by the state emergency public
works commission to the city mayors and county
commissioners calls attention to the Importance
ct this transition activity, and points out that
TIE aggregate of public works OF the counties and
cities of the state and federal governments com
bned.
Not only will your necessary public works
employ workers in your locality says the COM
p.oyment Of workers engaged in certain impor-
tant inGustries but they will also help the indus
tries to take on additional workers from among
returning soldiers and munition workers. Con-
seauently benefits of necessary public works
done by your county or city during a period OF
unemployment will extend to the whole nation"
This reasoning applies equally tany gov
ernnent unit of any state The policy has the
approval of the federal government, and IS to
receive the active support of the departments Of
labor and agriculture. Wartime financing re-
strictions are removed. Credit is easing up 1t
is a good tine for every community to get busy
with preparations for the buildings, roads,
bridges, pavenents, sewers, etc, that it needs

Local buyers are paying 1900 to
1880 f. o, b. country shipping points
for good steers and do not seem very
anxious for them at those prices. In
some rare cases 1900 is paid when
the quality and other circumstances
justify that figure These country
point prices bring the cost f. o. b.
Los Angeles to 135O@14.500, the
difference representing freight,
shrinkage and other charges. While
dressed steers are quoted at 22:5O
for top, only a few head in each
carload of steers received here quail
ify for that figure. The same rule
in a smaller way applies to live hogs.
Country point prices range from
1925 to 1915 for No. 1 hogs, which
means 1900 to 1850 in Los Angeles.
All the hogs in carload lots received
here are not No. hogs. The receipts
have been fully adequate and prices
rule steady. The quality of lambs
in the receipts are a little below
normal. Those of top quality find
a ready market, but other grades are
weak on a dull market. EARRINGS
and choice wethers are in good de-
mand at firm prices, btu ewes are
badly neglected. The sale of them
is very slow and the market weak.

SOLDIERS IN PRISON.

No doubt the committee of the American
Bar Association in its report will show in tech
nical language how courts martial transcend
the law in courts civil but the average layman
will arrive at the same conclusions by the sim
pier methods of common sense and common JUS
tice.
When we read that up to February there
had been $4,000 trials by court martial in the
United States army at home and abroad, we get
a basis to go upon in estimating the character
of these tribunals and the offenses of the cul
prits appearing before them. 1t is obvious that
discipline in tens of thousands of cases was mild
ly applied to minor delinquents. and yet the rec
ords of what are called general courts martial
show that as to 1880 convictions the punish
ments inflicted were harsh, average imprison-
ments for four years.
Absences without leave may easily be con-
strued deserton, neglect of duty may be called
disobedience and it is not difficult to exaggerate
disrespect for superiors into INSTRUMENTATION and
revolt. Such has been the summary practice Of
our general courts martial. For shortcomings
naturally to be expected in men subjected for the
first time to military regulations, imprisonments
ranging from one to twenty years ana loss of
citizenships have been prescribed whereas in
most instances punishments much less severe
would have answered every requirement
Legislation by Congress ought not to meet this
situation. The War Department, supported by
the President, is competent to deal with it, and
unless we are to out Prussianize the Prussians
the vast majority of these penalties should beg
commuted at once. 4

OUR NATIONAL MERCHANT MARINE.

Major Heating of the Shipping Control
Board estimates that by 1920 our American
mercantile feet will total 100000 tons At
the end of the Civil war 80 per cent of our ton
mage was carried by American bottoms, and at
the start of this last war only per cent. Twelve
million tons of ships built or building. Think
of it. Now that we have got it, what are we
going to do with it is the great question. Build
ing and operating steamship under the Ameri-
can flag, as compared with building and opera
tion under the British flag is follows: First
cost of the American ship is SO per cent higher,
wages SO per cent higher vctualing crew 25
per cent higher. Foregoing figures were for
1898 and 1908, according to Golfers for Feb
ruary /, 1919, and under the La Toilette Sea-
mans act the handicap is much greater against
American vessels. 1t must be evident to anyone
that building and operating ships in times Of
peace in open competition with England, Japan
and other countries with cheaper wage and liy-
ing standards is some problem. Major Keating
recommends that the quarter Of million men
employed in the American naval overseas trans
port be employed in the merchant marine and
paid in part by the United States government.
He shows that this would be in the nature OF
a subsidy to secure services of fine trained body
Of men, and he argues that only with national
subsidy SYSTEM can build and maintain ma
lonal merchant marine.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Feb. 28.-The cotton
market had an unsettled and very ir
regular opening this morning, ow-
ing to the appearance of March no.
tices, which had been expected yes
terday, and the absence of which
had been largely responsible for yes
terday's advance.
According to early estimates, these
notices aggregated between 100000
and 100000 bales and were supposed
to represent cotton that had been
taken up on previous months by
houses with Japanese connections.
1t was reported that Southern eX-
porters were stopping part of the
March notices, but there was con-
tinued near-month liquidation and
fluctuations were irregular late in
the morning.
Tie market showed continued nerv-
BUSINESS during the early afternoon,
as some of the March notices still
seemed to be in circulation, and there
was further scattered nearby month
liquidation. Prices ruled IL to so
points lower at 2 o'clock.

SERVICE STRIPES.
S@aops abroad bitter resent 4

among liie lro> z,s>--..2 in q /y II 70
expressed because of-ile steps tssf>tne9 /e gress
to prohibit the wearing of service sS1p - They
feel Justly proud Of the gofd chevrons that they
earned after having been sent overseas.
The question Of permitting the men of the
American expeditlon2ry forces TO wear foreign
service stripes would never have been raised in
Congress but for the objections Of others who did
duty on this side. They assumed that they were
being subjected somehow to unfair discrimna-
ton in being restricted to the use of silver SER
vice stripes. 1t was made possible for any
chance passer-by 10 see at glance that they had
not been in France.
AS matter of fact, the Secretary Of war only
recognized the facts as they actually were and
authorized the adoption OF special badges that
told their own story. Member of Congress, who
instinctively always view matters first from the
side of politics, gave more thought to such pro-
tests as were made at home than to the attitude
that the army abroad would reasonably take. The
House Military Committee seems TO have over
looked the circumstance that there were more
men in the service in France last November than
remained in the United States. But as a matter
of Justice no less than of expedency it was
wrong in urging that the men abroad be stripped
of their foreign service chevrons.
The whole matter might be left to the War De-
partment, where it belongs, but that is contrary
to the nature of Congress.

WHY SHELLEY MAY SUCCEED.

The President cables "hope that you will
succeed" to Chairman Sherley Of the House Ap-
preparation Committee in his announced purpose
to tack budget-system plan to some approprla-
tjor bill as rider and rush it through at this
session of Congress. The country will also hope
for his success, and with as much doubt about 1t
possibly as the President seems to feel
But what Mr.. Taft could not persuade Con
gress to do and what Mr. Wilson has been unable
to bring about Mr.. Sherley may well succeed in
doing What particular Congress refuses to do
has no time What it will do in the funess Of
when it has plenty Of time it often does when it
life 1t may do in its dying moments.
In choosing this way to establish budget in
the Government of the United States, Mr.. Sher-
lev shows loose knowledge of Congress and its
contrariness. He deserves to succeed, and we
olY9ostthink he will Congress will then be able
to know within about billion dollars or so, from
year to year where it stands in the relation be-
tween voting away the peoples money and the
economical necessities of the Government.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder Both
ers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
or other, says a well known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat eX-
cites the kidneys, they become over
worked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the kid
ney region; rheumatic twinges, Sc
we're headaches, acid stomach, consti-
patton, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
ueys aren't acting right, or if blad-
der bothers you get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will
then act. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice combineu with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disor-
Gers.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
!disease. No. 2

THE FIFTEENTH, COLORED.

Nothing that Co onel Hayward says in praise
of the old Fifteenth infantry of the New York
National Guard, which he had the honor to com
mand in France and two battalions of which
have returned, can be regarded aS eXtravagant,
in view Of its record.
This was volunteer regiment OF negroes re-
crulted in New York For discipline, sobriety
resourcefulness and courage in battle, no other
American unit has gained higher praise. One
hundred and ninety-two members of the regi-
ment received decorations for bravery, but every
one Of its officers and men merited such recog
ntiOn.
1t should give the metropolis patriotic pleas
ure to testify in some public way to its apprecl-
alton of the service rendered by this organiza-
tion, which is credit to city, state ana nation,
and an enduring record Of negro loyalty and de-
Votion

FUR EXPORTS.
(By Associated Press)

Juneau, Alaska, Feb 2 (By mail)
Fur exports from Alaska during
the fiscal year ending 1918 were
valued at s2,281,7S2, according to
the annual report of the Territorial
Customs Collector. A large part of
this increase over the 1917 total,
which was $4,000, is due to the fact
that in 1918 there were no reports
received on the value of the skins
