THE sPEAKERsHIP SITUATION.

According to the most reliable advices from
Washington, the situation developed by the
contest for the speakership in the next house is
clarifying in a gratifying manner.
The withdrawal of Congressman Tess from
a triangular competition leaves the issue APP
parently between Congressman Mann, the
present floor leader, and Congressman Gllett,
who served as floor leader during a large part
Of the present session, while Mr. Mann was in
capacitated by illness. This realignment is
taken to make it certain that Mr. Mann will not
be chosen, and that Mr.. Gillett will be the
next speaker unless it is finally decided better
to take up an entirely new candidate.
The Bee has already indicated why it be-
lieves the selection of Mr.. Mann would be I'M
wise, chiefly because though representing a
western state, he does not reflect the progress
sive spirit of the repubcanism of the middle
west Despite the fact that he is commissioned
by a New England constituency, Mr.. Gillett
more nearly represents that spirit, and would
be more acceptable even to those who like US,
would ordinarily prefer western man.
The main thing to be desired is that the
republican organization for the next house
should be marshalled under a leadership that
not only makes for harmonious union of the
different elements of the party, but also bids
fair to command the sympathy and support Of
our forward-looking citizenship, that is pinning
its hopes for the future upon the ability of the
republicans to solve successfully and satisfac-
torily the great after-the-war problems OF re-
construction

THE HOME COMING.

Back from the days of their danger dar-
ing.
over the league of foam,
Back from the scenes OF their far war
faring,
Our boys are coming home.
We who have praise for them and
through long days for them
Lifted a silent prayer,
How shall we meet them, how shall we
greet them,
Dauntless and debonair?
We are proud of them. all the crowd Of
them;
Loud be the lit Of our cheers!
In the wild rattle and rage of the battle,
All, but they knew no fearsl
Fierce was the fight Of them, strong was
the might OF them,
Brave in face Of the guns
Valiant and CHEEKY from Chateau Thierry
On to the fall OF the Huns.
If we could for them. this we would for
them,
Blazon the long, long roll
Blazon it brightly, blazOn It rightly,
Large on our honor-scrol!
Then great shout for them we'd never
a doubt for them;
Nothing their triumph mars
Reach out the hand to them through al
the land to them,
Sons OF the Stripes and Stars!

and gave one Of the Imps a sharp
crack over the head, Bling! The
blow knocked the head of the Imp
completely off. Billy Belgium gasped
in dismay. He hadn't meant to
smash the Imp to pieces
Then strange thing happened.
The body of the Imp picked up the
cracked head, pressed it hard, as a
boy presses a snow ball, and hurled
it straight at Billy So astouished
was Billy that he didn't think to
dodge and the head hit him smack in
the eye.
Billy saw stars. The head was like
ice and the Imp had thrown it with
amazing force.
But the blow made Billy so mad

they threw their heads they picked
them up and put them back on their
shoulders as good as ever.
Now the Imps began to pinch
Peggy. Each pinch made her feel
as though she was freezing. And
they attacked Prince Bonnie Blue
Bell so fiercely that in a minute he
fell helpless, frozen like chunk of
ice.
"Help! Help!" he whispered be-
fore his lips froze together.
Billy quit fighting as he heard the
call. He turned to pick up Prince
Bonnie Blue Bell, but at that mo-
ment Peggy, chilled to the bone by
the pinches of the Frost Imps,
tumbled to the ground. Billy grab

Bonnie Blue Bell with his other hand

gave a great leap, and broke into a
gallop that, for the moment, left the
Frost Imps far behind.

French Moderation

When we remember the history of the last
half century, the French peace terms. as an
nounced by NJ Pichon, are a miracle OF mag
nanimity. In 1870 France was treacherousiv
enticed into a dark alley knocked down and
robbed. From that day to the beginning of the
late war she was Systematically and with cyni-
cal impudence blackmailed on her every trans
action and kept in a condition of cruel and
costly apprehension. She had to go armed day
and night and guard her Rhineward doors with
eeaseless vigilance. She was driven into an
alliance with Russian czardom, not because she
liked It, but as measure OF self-protection
This dragged her into the war whether or no.
when Pan-Germany menaced Russia For that
act Of self-preservative fealty she was invaded,
devastated, crucihed for four years industriay
wrecked and crippled and compelled to send, not
1nly her irst-born, but all of her young man
hood into the shsmbles
And now the thug nation lies at her feet
What the thug nation would do-were the posi-
tons reversed-we do not need to conjecture.
History has recorded it. But what France pro-
poses to do to her PROSTATE enemy is precisely
what President Wilson, in the calm and detach-
ment of his White House library, worked out
dispassionately as the application of the prn-
ciples of justice. That is, France will exact
reparation, but will not demand indemnity; will
lake back her stolen French provinces, but will
not annex any German territory; will discuss
her terms in public at a wide-open peace con-
terence, with the world in the gallery, and will
take her place in a league of nations
The kaiser in Amerongen and Bismarck in
Nalhalla will marvel at her moderation.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Prince Bonnie Blue Bell faced the

they can't grow into fruits and grains

Troublous Times in England.

Premier Lloyd George warns the country
that civil strife is imminent, the coal situation
having reached so serious a stage that an out
break leading to internecine war may result
This is one of the peculiar outgrowths of the
war in the United Kingdom. Efforts to inter-
mix political and economic questions have pro-
duced confusion that is not bringing any good
to the country. The coal miners adjourned a
bitter controversy with the bosses in order to
contribute to the war, though once or twice it
required the utmost persuasion on the part of
the premier and his associates to induce the
men to continue sending coal to the pit mouth
that war work be not interrupted. The strike
at this time presents a new phase, being mainly
an effort on the part of the men to force the
naturalization of the industry, hoping that by
refraining from work they can compel the gov
eminent to Gust the bosses and take over the
mines, the miners have been carrying on a Wig
orous campaign for several weeks. Industry in
general has suffered severely, and the state
ment of the premier does not seem to be
greatly overdrawing the picture just now.
Sober counsel may prevail, but the miners are
not helping their cause, or that of workers in
general by their obstinacy on the point

Change in Court Martial Practice.

The senate has passed house measure that
ought to have early approval of the president.
1t is to alter the Articles of War so as to give
commanding general the authority to set aside,
modify or mitigate court martial sentence.
At present this power rests solely with the
president. If the amendment goes through, It
will do away with much of the occasion for
complaint now heard. Many sentences passed
by summary courts far exceed the requirements.
either OF justice or army discipline, usually re-
sultlng from unfamiliarity with the process and
powers of the tribunal. To entrust COM
manding general with discretionary power in
these matters is wholly within the scope of rea-
son. and very likely will not operate to lessen
the authority or disturb the workings of mill
tary processes. When the public gets little
better acquainted with the ways of the army,
It will see that much of the difficulty has come
from lack OF understanding on part of officers
and men alike. Soldiers are human, and discipline
is very rigid, and in making one fit the other
considerable friction arises. The worst part of
this will be removed wien the commanding
general is clothed with power to make the dis
ciplne little more elastic, until the soldier

AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense" is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Ne6lin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs Of shoes re-
soled with Ne6lin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes II will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Ne6lin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-soling. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
