 But to finger too long among the springs of Carlsbad is to miss it's his- tory. Here there is grim sort of symbolism, For here it was. just % years ago last August. that Metternich plotted to clamp down the lid upon free speech, free press and untrammel- ed teaching in the German states.
 There were signs that liberal agita- ton among the Germans was reaching the boiling point. Autocracy was threatened. Prince Metternich of Aus tria arranged to have sympathetic representatives from Austria, Poland and seven other states of the German confederation at Carlsbad and then called them together in hurry. under pretext of need for summary action.
 Out of that conference came the famous Carlsbad decrees,' and there can be little doubt but that the finder for the world explosion in 1914 was lighted at Carlsbad. There was form | ulated the policy, later carried to a ISlolIttSSo GOuCluSlOil ny luc G6IIn6U empire, of press censorship. of state regulation of teaching in universities and all other schools. and a commits sion was created to inquire into utter ances opposed to the monarchical prin- 1 ciple which every German state was 1 pledged to maintain.

ENJOYABLE OUTINGS

T haven't heard anything about your crowd having it's annual week end party out in, the sand dunes this sum- mer." said the Woodlawn man. Didn't you go? You were all so enthusiastic about it.''
 "Oh, we're still enthusiastic" the Hyde Park man responded. You know how enthusiastic and superior it makes you feel to be doing something nobody else has the courage and youth to tackle. And you have to be young to roll up in a blanket and sleep cut under the hot stars on top of sand hill. It just tickled us to pieces to find we could do it. Hence, we argue. we still belrRg in the broiler class. And it's such a comfortable feeling to say condescendingly to awed questioners that we camp out in the wilds of In diana in a real wild. hard way and en- joy it. Why, certainly we enjoy it-- anyone young and vigorous and inter- ested in nature at rare moments would do so. Then the awed questioner says my, he or she prefers a real bed with springs and mattress and no bugs and mosquitoes-afld that makes us feel more superior still.
 "This summer. 1mogene began to balk. She said she was just crazy about our sand dunes parties and never should forget those moons and sunrises and weird tree on the desert effects in the nists of the night-but why did we have to pick out such an extra hard sand hill to climb particu- larly with all those frying pans and pails, blankets tarpauiins and food And why stop the automobile quarter of q mile from the base of the hill :? Oh, she knew the road ended there, but couldn't we lay down straw or some thing to run on? I told Ifnogene that better plan would be to charter an airplane and have her drop off in a parachute just as the machine shot l over our particular dune. That woman 1 looked at me seriously and wanted tc know just how she should distinguish ] which sand hill she wanted.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Carlsbad.

When Europe's best advertised health resort awoke one morning to find its postoffice address changed from Ca1 lsbad. Austria, to Karlo- Nivari, Czecho- Slovakia. the mental shock to the German inhabitants must have been somewhat like the occasion- al explosions of it's hidden wells. from which it's famous mineral waters come. said bulletin of the National Geographic society.
 Though it is located in Bohemia, the Englishman had introduced after noon tea, and the American had made tennis popular, but the 1000 permanent residents who remained in Carlsbad after the annual influx of some 10000 visitors were essentially German, and Karlo Vivari remains so, according to the press reports.
 Hence it is easy to understand how this island of Germans. under Czech rule, is approaching a political boiling point. Despatches tell of the open display of Emperor Franz Joseph's $ portrait, and of the refusal of the native sons. who live by means of the saline waters and salt derivatives. to call Carlsbad by any other name.
 Tradition had it. and the inhabit- ants preferred to believe, that Emperor CharfeS " 0lSc0FereQ the heaunS power of the waters that gush through the vents of the mammoth lid that nature clapped down over a seething cauldron far beneath the surface.

THE GOVERNMENTS STAND.

He appears to be peeved be- cause the welfare of 109, 50O, GOO people was being looked after in such a way as to interfere with the demands of 5oo-o00 miners in seeking higher wages and less hours, and considered it an occasion for declaring that la bor must stand true to "the highest principles of justice and of right and of freedom"
 No one wishes to deny justice right and freedom to labor when la Dor takes a sound and sensible course. any more than it is de- sired to deny them to any other body of citizens, but when it under takes to tell the country that it has got to suffer from the cold. got to stor it's transportation lines, got to close its industries and suffer from the lack ot the necessities of life it is time to cal a halt. and the country was fortunate in being able to bring into play the war time legislation in order to pro tect itself from an illegal and unjus- tified strike

 There is still the contention that the individual can have all the daylight saving he wants by playing with his own clock, but nevertheless the plan can be operated to better advantage if it is made the law of the land But why an extra session of the general assembly with all the expense attached to it? If there was sound objection in public policy in not calling an extra session of the legislature to ratify the amendment to the federal constitution providing for equal suffrage, there is sounder objection in this instance.

HELPING coAsTwIsE TRAVEL

Assembled in Charleston, s. C., this week are the delegates from many states along this coast to the annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association. an organiza- tion which has been devoting it's ef- forts for a decade or more to the se- curing of better facilities for coast wise transportation by making avail able the inland waterways along the coast.
 The purpose has been to increase the transportation by water by deep ening, improving or building canals and thus make it possible for smaller vessels and barges to ply along most of the coast. Such system as it has advocated would do much to eliminate the danger of outside operations.
 Though practically abandoning it's efforts during the war the very idea that it has stood so strongly for has received tremendous support from the experiences of shipping during that period. It has been seen not only where water transportation can be made safer from storms but where il can get much protection against ene- my vessels so that shipping along the coast need not be entirely stopped The taking over of canals by the gov ernment has likewise resulted in call ing attention to the fact that greater use should be made of them at all times but that they should be devel- oped for the purpose of giving added l protection in case of trouble.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Want to Chance God's Iime.

MT. Editor: When congress two years ago passed the misnamed day light saving law. we were at war, and every one was ready to do what he could to help win. As that time II bill had been put in congress for few million dollars to buy wooden engines, it would have been passed without a murmer.
 Now, I. along with thousands of other farmers believe in the 8-hour union day, hours before dinner and 8 hours after. We put it in without kick. and we are still alive to tell the tale.
 When the war is over congress was asked to repeal what 80 per cent. of the common people (the kind Lincoln loved so welD, wanted repealed and by a large majority in congress this law was repealed. Now what is the result. A few gentlemen in the city that style themselves the Chamber Of Commerce, who do not see the sun rise dozen times a year say we want the daylight saving.

ceased. if in fact it hadn't before that time.
 But where there was an inefficient force selected to look after this busi- ness in the first place, resulting in great confusion and tangles, there is now an ample number to look after the business. In fact for the present number of policy holders the force of clerks seems as much too large as the first force was too small with the millions insured. but the work of strengthening out the situation has required many hands and much time.
 Though policyholders have allowed their insurance to lapse it is still pos- sible, if action is taken before that expiration has run for an IS months period. to get reinstated by certifying to the condition of health, and for warding the premium for two months. It is well that all concerned should know this before it. is too late.

BITRO-P PHOSPHATE lS GOOD FOR THIN
 NERVOUS PEOPLE

A French scientist has discovered an organic phosphate which should be a very effective remedy for weak nerves. sleeplessness. thinness and lack of strength. energy and vigor.
 Its substance is described by special ists as identical in composition with certain vital clements naturally found in brain and nerve cells and enc which when taken into the human system is quickly converted into healthy Ii ing tissue.
 This phosphate is already widely known among druggists in this coun- frv as Bitro- Phosphate and some phy- sioians claim that through it's use strength; energy. vigor and nerve force are frequently increased in two weeks time.
 Dr. Frederick Kolle Editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says it should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital in the United States. As there are a great variety. of so-called phosphates, those who wish to test this substance should De sure to get the genuine Bitro- Phosphate.
