REPUBLICANS AFRAID

1t now looks like the Republicans
in the state senate are Il little afraid
of the Drury bill which aboishes the
state highway commission. This per
nicious, vicious and altogether indc
fensible piece of legislation was rail
troduced and rushed through to pas
sage without notice and without Ii
hearing being held.
The advisory commission is com
posed of two Democrats and two lie

GER MAN SHEEP

Il seems that there were two sep
sarate sections of the organization
which was sent from Germany to de-
stroy industry in Belgium.
One of them dsmounted machin-
cry which could be used in Germany,
stole it and carried it off.
The design of the other was to de-
stroy the Belgian steel industry. To
do this German wrecking crews went
into the steel plants with dynamite
and with "sheep" Now sheep are
generally supposed to be rather mild
animals, destructive only of herbage
and this for the purpose of metamor'
phosing II into wool and cotton. But
these sheep were German, and hence
more like wolvcs-grcat mechanical
wolves, whose purpose was only tc
destroy.

A DESPERATE GAME

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge re.
ceived communication from the
government of Fiume, protesting
against the disposition of the seaport
made by the peace conference and
reading it in the senate had it made
part of the Congressional Record
This is the first time in the history
of the republic that foreign govern
ment or foreign people has ever ad-
dressed this government except
through the proper channels-the
state department. And no one knows
this better than Senator Lodge. The
senate leader gave evidence of guilty
conscience when he declared that he
did this because the peace council
presumed to interfere in American
affairs, meaning the Monroe Doctrine.
The discomfort of the world can
find sanctuary in the Lodge fold. The
element with complaint to make
against the peace conference, against
anything that the president of the
United States has aught to do with,
find welcome in the Lodge sanctum.
1t is now the established policy of
the Republican leaders.
Senator Lodge is one of those lead.
ers of the Republican party who ap-
pealed for the election of the Repub-
lican candidates for house and senate
last fall, promising to stand by the
president and promising aid and as
sistancc in the reconstructive meas

Instead of help, the Republican
leaders have devoted their entire
time during the absence of the ma.
tons chief executive abroad in the
interest of the welfare of humanity
and the peace and security of Amer
lea and all the world, trying to en-
barrass him, trying to make the
world believe that he no longer has
the support Of the people OF the. Unit
ed States. 1t is a gigantic attempt
TO ruin the president and with him the
party that he so nobly has led, with
the 1920 presidential election as the
goal And the future peace of the
world the speedy conclusion of peace
negotiation and restoration of busi-
ness throughout the world, mean
nothing to the bitter partisans at the
Republican helm.
1t is IL desperate game they are
playing. So great is their zeal that
they will stop at nothing to attain
their ends. 1t may not be reasonable
tactics but it borders very closely
thereon and il continued there is q
certain reputation in store at the
hands of their own party without the
Democratic party being called upor

BOYS AND GIRLS INVESTING

The reports of the very great sue
cess of the boy and girl members of
agricultural clubs all over the coun'
try have become fairly familiar to
most newspaper and magazine read
ers. Their work offers rare promise
for the future of scientific agricul-
ture and seems to be solving the
problem of keeping the young peo'
pic interested in farm work.
In the meantime, what are they
doing with their profits? The United
States department of agriculture an
swers that question in Il recent bul'
letin.

62 owned poultry.
1t was found, too, that III club
members had definitely decided to
attend college and were saving their

With these fine plans and this
steady progress toward successful,
happy independence, it is interesting
to know how long the members had

four years; 20. three years; and 176,

the MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
"a MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
ls Prepared For
Wofnan's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is ma4e impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of .his great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
70 extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as q final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

THE FEDERATION OF LABOR

The convention of the American
Federation of Labor at Atlantic City
has served to impress the whole
country with the admirable charac-
ter of this organization. Throughout
the war, under the guidance of Sam
uel Gompers and other enlightened
leaders, it co-operated loyalty with
the government. 1t rendered meal
culable service by stimulating pro-
duction of war materials, upholding
universal military service and other
war measures, making clear the is
sues at stake, and fighting the forces
that the war is over, the federation
is standing like a rock againt BOlshe-
vism and |. w. W.-ism.
Appreciation of this fact has made
curious change in the attitude of
the general public, and particularly
of the wealthier part, toward the
federation. Only few years ago it
was feared and hated by large num-
bers of business men as a radical
organization threatening the stabil-
ity of the republic. Today it is hail
ed as a conservative force steadying
American labor and guaranteeing
the safety of American institutions.
Perhaps the federation h a s
changed little, seeing, as it has, the
evil results of going too far. Blu,
generally speaking, it stands for just
about the same things now that it
ha stood for all these years. 1t is
the business interests that have
changed. In the presence of great
er menace the most "capitalistic" of
them have welcomed the lesser. The
ordinary, levelheaded business man,
however, has marched with the times
and no longer sees any menace at
all in the principles that American
organized labor stands for. He sees
in the present labor program only
the assertion in industry OF prin-
ciples that have been vindicated by
the big war. And he is grateful to
the federation for casting out the
crazy Reds and holding to sane,
, peaceful methods for gaining their
ends
