being an indeterminate amount to be

and sailors deserve, there are not
enough of the sort of jobs they want to

THE SENATORIAL AGE LIMIT.

II Is true that when Cummins OPP
posed Allison for tho senate some or
his supporters said the later should
be retired on account OF has advanced
age. II In claimed now that these
arguments will rise to plague their au-
thors. But how about the arguments
of the fellows who supported Allison
on account OF his age and experince
and the advantageous senatorial posi-
tons which he held? CUMMING Is
president pro tenn of the senate and
chairman OF the important Interstate
commerce committee. We Cummins
people will Just be compelled to ad-
NIT under the circumstances that the
Allison men were right In their con-
tention that age and experience shonld
count for more than youth and mex
perinece.

Late dispatches tell Us that at Low
den. Iowa. Eoted for Its German SYM
pathies. the mayor of the town was
knocked down and beaten up by. a
young returned soldier from overseas
The soldier did not like the conduct
nor the language Of the mayor In re-
gard to the present day soldier. The
dispatches also relate that In Min
nesota town n pro-German patriot had
been saying things in criticism OF the
American soldier. and an American SOL
der with one leg knocked him Gown
with heavy cane. So far there have
been no arrests.
II James NJ. Pierce has the time to
spare, ne might send one Of his nu-
merous attorneys to these comruni-
ties TO see what he could find. The at
torney might gain some Information
which he has not heretofore possessed
II Mr.. Pierce is going to prevent the
punching Of ro-German heads, he
will have to enlarge his force.

CRITICIzBS BUSINESS HOUSES,
Toledo Chronicle

Never before has the Chronicle heard
of a Toledo business house being kept
open while the Decoration Day exer-
cises were being held, and to think that
it had to happen this year. the most
significant of all Decoration Day oc-
casions. The time has come when per-
sons living in America should observe
the customs of Americans. Pity the
person who has no respect and appre-
citation of the sacrifices made by the
noble soldier dead and those who were
more fortunate but no less heroic.
