Sweet Corn Cookery.

I is to leave on two or three of the
inner husks. They keep in the sweet

may be left on to keep the ears warm
and moist. They are easily stripped

the husks may be turned back, the
silk removed and the husks wrapped
around the ears again and tied in

put two large lettuce leaves in the

the peas and with them a small onion.

The onion and lettuce bring out the
natural flavor of the peas. Remove
the onion and lettuce before serving
and thicken the sauce with the yolks
of eggs, not allowing it to boil after
these are added, and pour the sauce
hot over the peas.
Pea pods should not be thrown

Putting Politics First.

In pressing for the passing of a resolution
rejecting the league Of nations before the close
OF the session Republican senators surely did
not hope to have their motive construed as
other than political. Such action was calcu-
lated to add TO, rather tnan detract, from the
general uncertainty and confusion. Serving
notice that the plan in its present form will
not be approved, without making a concre-e
statement of what will be approved obviously
could only act as a bar to further negotiations
and at a most critical time
No one could possibly decide from the tone
OF adverse comment in the senate what
clauses of the league constitution were at
fault, in what manner or to what degree The
opposition mass of contradictions which
in large measure answered themselves and
sustained the judgment of the peace confer
ence. II there was any agreement it was upon
the proposition that the provisions were not
sufficiently specific, which has been about the
only common characteristic of the criticism on
other points.
If there were any doubt of the political
motive back Of the fight it is resolved by the
request for an immediate negotiation OF a
peace with Germany. That is the avowed pur-
pose Of the conference ana that is why the
president Is hurrying back to Paris. 1t was
the old trick of ordering done what was rea
sonably certain to be done anyway, so some
degree of credit might be claimed for the ac-
complishment. There was no need for the
senate any part of it to try to speed up
peace negotiations. 1t was as much out of
place as snap judgment in trying to discredit
the league of nations before the question had
been formally submitted for the senate's con-
slderation
More than four hundred returned soldiers
were polled in New York yesterday in regard
to their preference for president in 1920.
President Wilson received 173 votes. or nearly
as many as all the dozen others whose names
were mentioned, Mr.. McAdoo being second,
with 70. The significance of this test is not in
its bearing on the next national campaign, but
IN the degree of approval that it shows for the
things that the present administration has
done. including, presumably, the part it has
taken in the peace deliberations.
II the other boys coming back from over
seas are Of the same mind and if the people
at home back them up-as they are very likely
TO do-the new senate. Republican though it
may be. probably will see a great light be-
fore congress meets again.

Tobacco Taxes and Profits.

The prediction that an effort would be made
to pass all the new tobacco tax on to the con-
sumner with enough added to the price to pay
manufacturers and dealers a greater profit
seems to have been verified, at least so far as
Rock Island is concerned. On the item of Gig
arets we find tax, estimated at cents for
a package of 20, has grown TO cents where
they are passed over the counter. Packages
which formerly cost 10 cents and contained 20
cigarets now are priced at Is cents and con-
tain but 16 cigarets. IN other words the smok-
er pays nearly one-third of cent tax on a
cigaret which formerly cost but half a cent,
ana which the tax actually levied is only
about one-tenth of a cent If the same rate
of increase is main aimed in other tobacco prod
ucts 1t is evident that the trade will get more
revenue out of it than the government does
Few will deny the wisdom of making to-
bacco users pay literally in 6efraying the cost
of the war. 1t is in line With the principle of

assessing Injuries more heavily than necessi-
ties. If the cents added to the price OF a
package Of cigarets all went into the national
treasury kicking would not win much public
sympathy. But when the government gets only
cents, or perhaps less. while the balance goes
to swell private profits there is just ground for
complaint.
If the new revenue act contains provisions
to prevent this sort Of exploitation they ought
to be applied without delay.
