Romance suffers a thousand deaths
yet never dies. That is as true to life
as it is to art. Edmond Rostand came
to his great success in the peak of a
realistic uprear. He came purely and
simply as a romancer, splashing all the
old colors on the same old heroic scale.
Not life as he and we saw it then,
and not life, really. as anybody ever
saw 1t, was his theme. He placed be-
fore us life as we have it in our day
dreams, as we conducted it ideally to
cheer and succor US with the beauty
and soft lines in a world of hard, dull
facts.-New York Tribune.

Efforts are being made to prevent
the decentralization of business which
would follow if the government should
place it's vast stores of all kinds of
material on the market. There is an
enormous amount of stuff, such as
building material. tools, piping, lum-
Der and everything that an army needs
and which our army will no longer
need. If these commodities were
dumped on the market all at once it
would probably ruin many private
concerns. Wherever possible, the war
department is planning to resell the
material to the manufacturers or to
dispose of 1t with the least possible
harm to business firms.

Agricultural department officials say
that the farm labor situation in 1919
may be quite as serious as that OF
1918. Their opinion is based on the
idea that a large part of our army may
remain in Europe throughout the year.
However, it does not seem possible
that the same trouble in this regard
will confront the farmer this year. AL
ready there has been let-down in
the industrial world and men are not
so eagerly sought after now by the
factories and mills. Whether men who
have had taste of factory work will
want to try their hand at farming
is the question whose answer will
probably decide the farm labor situa-
ton for 1919.

NOT ENOUGH JOBS

PLAN TO GIVE THE RETURNED
FIGHTERS EMPLOYMENT ON
HIGHWAYS COMING UP.
OREGON ADOPTS THAT IDEA
Congress May Be Asked to Appropri-
ate at Least s1oo,ooo,ooo for the
Purpose-Extra Session Seems to
Be Inevitable.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Em for the
returning soldiers is growing to be
more of a problem than the country
every soldier who enlisted or was
drafted would upon his return and dis
charge be re-employed in the same po-
sition which he had left. But such
is not the case and there are hundreds
of thousands of soldiers who will be
out of employment. Senator Chamber
lain read telegram in the senate the
other day showing that the state legis-
lature of Oregon had appropriated
100000 for the relief of discharged
soldiers and sailors and appointed Il
commission to take care of them. Ii
was proposed by that commission to
find employment for as many as pos
sible upon the highways, making good
roads.
The proposition to utilize the SOL
diers who are out of employment upon
the highways of the country has been
suggested several times. Senator
Swanson of Virginia. who when gov
ernOr of that state did so much for the
Improvement CT highways, has given II
great deal of attention to the subject
since he has been in the senate. He
is now at work upon COMPREHENSIVE
plan which proposes not only to afford
employment for hundreds of thousands
Of returned soldiers, but others who
ara IikolV t0 ha OI1t of ampIovr,1ont on
account of the changed conditions re-
sulfing from the end of the war. When
congress apprOpriates $100,0O0,000 to
feed the starving people of Europe 1t
would no doubt appropriate double
that amount to give employment to
the soldiers and other people who are
seeking a livelihood in this country.
Ii that amount could be expended up
on the roads of the country it would
accomplish a double purpose. One of
the bills which Senator Swanson pre-
pared and was urging before the war
changed all conditions in this country
was to spend from % to 30 million
dollars a year of government money
on roads, but in view of the necessity
which cOnfronts the country now in
the way of furnishing employment for
the discharged soldiers, it is possible
congress may be induced to spend at
least $100,000,000 in the way of road
improvements, at the same time fur
nishing employment for those who are
going to be in dire need.

Whether the administration wants it
or whether congress wants it, it seems
that an extra session is inevitable in
order to pass the regular appropria-
ton bills. 1t is believed that the pres
ident would prefer not to have Re-
publican congress carrying on investi-
cations of various sorts and making
many inquiries of the administration
as to why it does thus and so. With
the Republicans in power in both SEN
ate and house they may become some
what annoying. AT the same time
President Wilson's position is such
that he can ignore anything except
direct opposition to his policies, and
as to these he will no doubt rely upon
the force of public opinion to support
him. However, it has been impossible
for this session of congress to clear
up all of the big problems that have
been brought forward by the war, and
even if the appropriation bills could
be passed it would be necessary for an
extra session to enact legislation of
recOnstructive character.

Vice President Marshall is of the
opinion that he could write rules for
the senate which would not in the
least restrict legitimate debate upon
any measure that might be taken up.
and yet would enable the senate TO
transact all its business with three
days session each, week. One of the
rules Marshall would make would be
to contine debate strictly to the sub
iect under consideration. The vice
president has other changes in mind,
but the mere fact that he proposes
that particular change will bar him
forever from having anything TO say
about making rules for the senate and
he will continue to administer the
rules as they are written.

Grape juice, which was the dIplo-
matte joke of the first two years of
the Wilson administration. seems to
have come into its own in the rev.
enue bill. Grape juice was the only
beverage which Secretary of State
Bryan would serve to diplomats or
any other guests while he was premier
in the cabinet.
This is the way grape juice figures
in the revenue bill: All other kinds
Of drinks, which are known mainly as
soft drinks. are taxed. But the sem
ate put in a little amendment which
excepted grape juice and the con-
ferees have agreed to it. sc that grape
juice will escape untaxed. This will
give the beverage quite an advantage
over all other soft drinks. Probably
the main reason for excepting grape
juice from taxation was because Of
certain sympathy for grape growers in
all parts of the country. Before the
wave Of prohibition struck the U7ited

Many months have gone by since it
was determined by the administration,
against the view of all the congression-
al leaders, to have a revenue bill. That
bill is still lingering on the ways and
there have been several rumOrs of
late that it may never pass. There Is
suspicion that some politics is be-
ing played. At one time it was said
that the senate Republicans intended
to talk the bill to death. Then there
was a shift and the Republicans made
no factious opposition to it nor was
there any filibuster. While there has
been some show of trying to speed it
up little since then, the revenue bill
has consumed plenty of time in con-
ference and it may go by the board.
There is a belief that the bill will
prove rather unpopular and quite a
severe burden upon a great many
people. 1t may be that the Democrats
of this congress would just as soon
have the Republicans of the next con-
gress responsible for the heavy taxa
ton that is provided for in the pend
ing bill.

States the grape growers were able
TO dispose of their product for max

hibition struck wine as hard as 1t did
other alcoholic drinks, and there has
been every indication that the vine

stroyed. Perhaps they will be saved
by the relief from taxation which Is
obtained in the pending revenue bill.

decided to increase the clerk hire
allowance of each member from
$1,000 TO $500 a year. and, what
is still more interesting, il was de-
cided that these clerks should go ON
the pay roll. Heretofore the money
has been paid to the member direct
and he has paid it out for such clerk
hire as he desired. Naturally this
has caused insinuations, often unjust,
that members pocketed the $1,000 or
the greater part of it and got along
without clerical help. Hereafter they
persons who have been employed.
Then again, members often have en-
ployed their wives, daughters and sons
as clerks, keeping the money in the
family.
More than a dozen years ago the
house decided to appropriate money
for clerical help for memh ers, and
started with $1,000 year. There have
been a number of increases from time
to time until the amount reached ST.
600 year, but the house always voted
that the money should be paid to the
member instead of carrying the clerk
on the pay roll. That an increase OF
81, 200 a year should be made over the
present allowance is rather surprising,
but it is also surprising that the MEM
bership of the house was not strong
enough to prevent the legislation
which will place the clerks on the
pay roll, instead of giving the money
direct to the members.
This is a matter in which there
were no party lines. In fact there are
mighty few questions upon which par
ty lines are drawn these days.
