WAR TIME PROHIBITION.

The first day under the war time prohibition act passed off with liquor stores observing the closing require nents- It was of course an unusual state of affairs resembling Sunday or a holiday when saloons are forced to close and in view of the fact that so many households are we'll stocked it probably caused no great hardship up- Dn the patrons of such places.
 Sooner or later it is to be expected That the ban will be lifted until next January How long a period it will Be for will depend upon the date of Rehabilitation of the army which the president has declared will be the Eignal for the ending of the law
 T. is interesting to note at this time what efforts are being made to place upon the present congress the put ting into effect of this law. by point Ing out that the president last May sought it's repeal insofar as it applied to the manufacture of and sales of beer and wines. It is claimed he knew that he could do nothing about re- moving the ban. but that must have been apparent to him last November when the law was passed It was evi- dent then. ten days after the armistice was signed that such a law could aave no bearing upon the war. It was rnowu that it would go into effect seven months after the war was vir- tuaIly over. but the president didn't urge congress not to adopt it at that lime and he did not apply his veto thereto He wanted it done by a con Eress which he told the people they ought not to elect and one which he refused to call in special session un- 1T forced to i1 order to get certain big appropriation bills passed

 The flight to Australia of the Blackburn Kangaroo aeroplane by Lieutenant Kingsford Smith, which starts from HouEslow today (the first attempt to gain the s10.0o0 prize offered by the Commonwealth Gov ernment), is an entirely different undertaking from single flight such as that across the Atlantic.
 In a sense it is easier ,inasmuch as it consists of a series of hops the maximum ditance of which need not exceed 400 miles. Such being the case navigation problems are consid- erably facilitated and for the srea ter part of the journey the aviators are over land.

REDUCED POSTAGE.

Among the various ways of increas- tng the revenue of the government that it's increased expenses due to the war might be met was that of i'm creased postage. Not only was the Tate on first class mail increased From two tc three cents an ounce but tt was doubled on postals and a zone system was established for second class matter. It is as the result of this advance in rates that the postof1ce department is able at this time to an rounce that it has turned into the federal treasury <17,O00.eo0 whereas on many former occasions there were deficits
 How much of a falling off there Was in mail matter as the result of inc increase in the cost of sending it is not known It is to be presumed that it had it's effects, but it is never rheless apparent that the increase was applied in such a way that most peo- pie would accept it as inevitable and meet it. Certainly it has been i'm possible to see that it has interfered with the quantity of mail handled.
 The return to the old rates on let ters and postals which became effec- i've on Tuesday will nevertheless be welcomed even though it means the saving of only a small amount in the oourse of a year to the individual To business houses and organiza tions it Will mean much more but whether it wall result in a greater volume of mail matter from now on will depend Entirely on the curtailment that act IfaIly took place during the war pe- rsod and on the increased use that is made o< the mail in bringing about tke adjustments under peace

pUNISHfNG THE KAISER.

Now that the peace treaty has been signed and Germany has promised to turn over certain leaders for punish ment, there is a desire to know what is going to be done with the former kaiser. At the present time he is not in Germany. He is still in Holland where, according to the latest advices he is an unwelcomed guest with the country desiring toS be relieved of it's responsibility. Inasmuch as the war
 is over he can hardly expect to remain
 interned in that country as a military
 prisoner, and as refugee there
 must be a limit to his stay especially
 if Holland doesn't take kindly to the idea of harboring him.
 There have been indications that the allies would demand him of Holland, but it has been intirnated that the Dutch would not be willing to turn him over to them. though they would be pleased to receive a request from Germany that he be sent back to that country. That of course would place him in touch with those in Germany who are still harboring pan-Germanic ideas and likewise in control of the over for punishment. those designated by the allies.
 To all intents and purposes Holland wants to get rid of him but wants to escape the responsibility of delivering him to the allied nations. and at the same time it cannot fail to appreciate that there is a responsibility resting upon it's shoulders to see that he doesn't escape. even though they are wishing he wasn't there.
 Many forms of punishment have been suggested for him including sentence to St. Helena. but even St. Helena, might be expected. doesn't want him. but until it is determined what course is to be pursued and what is to be done with him the whole world will be kept on the anxious seat He cannot be allowed to escape the penalty for the crimes he is respon- sible for

PROTECT THE CONSUMER.

In connection with the surplus sup ply of meat that the war department has on hand and the efforts that are being made to dispose of it, it cannot fail to be regarded as a move in the right direction when bids are being asked and it is declared that offers from states. municipalities or public institutions are especially solicited. It would have been far better if this course had been pursued first instead of restricting the sales to carload lots and thus making it practically impos
 sible except for packers to partici- pate therein But with the big pro vision dealers refusing to come any where near offering what the goods are worth. or what the government paid for them. it is a commenuaa,se course that is being followed in seek ing to have the public institutions or even the public get the benefit

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Little Inquiry.

Mir. Editor: I should like to inquire if the compelling of the seventh and eighth grade pupils to come to a cen tralized junior high school every day, some of them coming two miles to sChool-with daily carfare-win tend to increase or decrease the number of pupils?
 Sending the pupils to the congested part of the city it seems to me might increase personal hazard as well as expense, which naturally might tend to decrease the number in these classes. With a 34 1-2 mill tax it is of little consequence if We build a $250, 1000 schoolhouse and add permanently only one more mill.

GETTING AN EDUCATION

The pretty girl freshman was con- siderable overcome when the tall, good looking Sighta Side fraternity man caught up with her on the cam pus. Alarmed mental scurryings as to fitting conversational topics were evident on her rosy countenance.
 Well" began the fraternity man. what are your troubles this morn ing? Freshmen constantly have trou bles-it goes with the state in life. A freshman without a griev- ance wouldn't be a freshman. What is spelling your young life now?"
 "Oh." began the pretty freshman, to the English class and I'm scared to death because I haven't looked at book. I went to dance last light instead of studyiLis."
 "Good!" said the fraternity man, enthusiastically. I'm glad to find that you are a real human being. So many freshmen make the mistake of thinking that the real thing about college is study. I'll bet you are fine dancer. Whom do you have in English-is he by any chance a trif1e deaf ?'''
 Prof. Biggs," answered the fresh man t,tand from right here he could hear a pin-drop in the New York subway. Why4
 .'Too bad" unused the Sighta Side man. Maybe he'll turn deaf or something before you get there, and if he does you can work the same scheme that used to save our lives when we had Roddles in that ter rible math course. If I was called on and didn't know anything I arose with a bright and cheerful counte- nance aglow with information, and made my lips move. Then some one of the chaps behind me would shout out the answers and Roddles never knew the difference.
 Still, there was the time I got up and nobody shouted and it was a day when the prof was hearing quite well. I had to say something, and it seemed to affect him peculiarly. I got on that course just because of that reel tation. Recitations are terrible things and to be avoided wherever possible. Was it a nice dance ?''
 Perfectly grand" said the pretty freshman. "I don't see that you are much help to me. If I had known about it when I entered I could have picked out an nglish course with a lecturer hard of hearing. Besides, I have history next period and I dido mt prepare that either. I don't know what my family would do if I funked
