manufacturing towns of Belgium all

Senator Borah courteously declined
to attend President Wilson'S "at
home" to the foreign affairs COM
mittees of congress February 26th.
If Senator Borah should later decide
to give pink tea at the committee

the president to send regrets?
The era of fighting is over and the
era of investigation is well begun. To
prevent unemployment we would sug-
gest that each soldier as he is dis
charged should be placed on an in
vestigating committee.
Our army in France seems to have
had much more courage than artillery
and much larger stock of moral
strength than Of aeroplanes.
No one can be in two places at
once. Congressman-elect Berger of
Wisconsin fully expected to spend
some time in congress. But an i'm
portant engagement for twenty years

If the present Eruption Of Bolshev-
list marksmen continues, becoming a
prime minister in Europe will be
equivalent to taking out burial per-
nit.

Premier Clemenceau, receiving the
inter-allied women, said that when
people once came to an agreement
they had better part. The con-
verse, i. e., that people who differ
should remain together until they
come to an agreement, is only APP
piled in the case of juries.
Alcohol is weakened, tobacco is GO
ing up in smoke, but coffee still holds
its grounds.
If any one asks you what is going

president is going back, business is
going to pay, and we're all going to
be happy.
On account of her services as
surgeon in the Civil War, congress
passed bill permitting the late Dr.
Mary Walker to dress in male attire.
1t would be well if congress in these
days should pass another bill of the
same nature requiring the conscien-

The Prohibitionists showed their
fighting spirit in fighting spirits.
1t apparently will be Victory Lib
erty short term notes instead Of bonds
in the next April campaign. But
whether they are notes or bonds, it
is up to you and me to subscribe to
our limit anyhow.
We wonder. from what corner OF
the land or seas the marines see
Yah" yell will next be heard.
II railroad wages keep up we shall
soon have an aristocracy of wealth in
which Pullman porters possessing
yachts and brakemen owning Packard
ears will figure.
1t was probably when President
Wilson beheld the suffragists that he

his dear native shore.
You have to burn the candle at
both ends if you make both ends meet
these days.
The night gown strike is the latest
weapon of the militant sutfragist.
We predict it will be effectual.
Our philosopher says: The farmer
who uses only his hands can't sue
