Another measure which will mean
the extorting of $100,000,000 from
the pockets of the taxpayers has been
passed by the fool democratic congress
the so-called famine bill. It is a
mere charity measure to give $780,
100000 worth of foodstuffs to Euro
pean nations. While we advocate in
all instances the relief Of starving peo-
pie, we agree with Congressman
Schal1 that the nations to be relieved
should pay for such relief and put up
security to that end. God knows that
the American people are generous, but
they can lily afford at this time to
give $100,O00,000 Of foodstuffs to the
countries of Europe which virtually
opposed us in the war. Not only this,
but let's feed America first. And
then, again, the action of congress will
mean, no doubt, an advance in prices
and give the food combines, including
the packers, an opportunity for fur
Their profteering. There is something
malodorous in both houses of congress
and the sooner change is made the
better. Ad nauseum.

Hen Ford tries to tell us in his new
weekly that the government "has quit
squandering money" Well, the war
is over and it is about time, Hen. But
we would like you to explain to us by
what means you wormed yourself into
the administrations confidence so that
you could put over a scheme on Eagle
motors, which proved to be of little
worth, and pay 200 per cent dividend
thereon to the stockholders. So far
as "squandering money is concerned
it cannot be expected to cease until
the present administration is out of
power-at least we have no concep-
ton that it will be brought about No
administration, except that now in
power, has ever given profiteers such
an opportunity to suck the lifeblood,
metaphorically speaking, from the
common people. "Sucked white by
profiteers," as Colonel Harvey says, is
a mild expression.

Larger salaries are set forth by the
state university comptroller as the
most vital item in the needs of the
1919-1921 biennium. This appears to
be another scheme of the board of re-
gents to pull the legs Of the taxpayers
by asking the legislature for greater
appropriation than ever requested be-
fore, It would probably be well to
cut off at least third of the profess
sors in the state university and, we
believe that even then, there would be
a great sufficiency left. The salary
increase for these professors asked
from the legislature (the people) is
$2O7 ,507, which. with proposed addi-
tons to the staff Of $277, 720, brings
the total salaries to $2,256,000. In
1918 the payroll aggregated $1,770,-
TAO. The total asked from the legis-
lature for the maintenance of the uni
versity in the coming biennium is
$5,459, 900 as against $3,567 ,025 in
1917. This includes a comprehensive
building plan. If the legislature is
wise it will pare the appropriation
down to point which does not ex-
coed absolute necessity. The taxpay-
ers should not be called upon to pay
unnecessary increases.

Wilsonian functions in Europe have
kept, we should think, at'least one At
lantic cable busy, but then, Of course,
these stories are Of much import to the
American reading public. How de-
lightful it is for us to know that Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson gave "white
house" tea to telephone girls, chauf-
feurs, stable hands and street cleaners
in Paris, that Mrs. Wilson pinned a
t1eur-de-lis on an American soldiers
breast, that the president shined his
own shoes at 9:19, etc. It is really
worth while even though the cables
are so clogged with this important in
formation that the casualty lists have
to wait!

Representative B. j. Burrows of
Hibbing wants the present state box
ing law amended to the extent that
boxing contests will be legal in any
part of the state. At the present time
such activities are contend to St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, and Mr..
Burrows holds that this is not fair
to the lovers of the manly art who
have to contribute to the population
centers every time a contest is held.
Twin city interests, it is said, are
against the measure and, if they do
put up a fight, it is more than likely
that the repeal of the law in it's en-
tirety will be asked.-Vance Chapman.
The proper thing to do with this
law would be to repeal it-wipe it
from the statute books. It is high
time that the state prohibited exhibit
tions by grating puguglies. Prize
fighting is nothing more or less than
relic of barbarism.

There is altogether too much Tex
plaining' in the various governmental
departments that does
not explain. The people know that
they are being exploited by all sorts
and conditions of schemers, by prof.
teers and grafters, but what they are
anxious to learn is why such condi-
lions exist and why they are not
remedied. It is the ultimate consumer
who foots the bill-he is the man who
pays the profteers as we'll as govern
mental extravagances.

Francis J. Heney's cross-examina-
tions of the chiefs of the packers COM
bine before the senate agricultural
committee in the general procedure
of investigation is bringing out some
salient points. For instance, he elicit
ed from Armour, one of the packing
house control kings, that the ring, or
by whatsoever other name you may
designate it, pays the general legisla-
tive expenses collectively. By "gen-
eral legislative expenses" we take it
that this money is largely used for
lobbying purposes-a sort of persua-
sive fund.

at Albuquerque, N. M, Director Gen.
eral McAdoo said: GAS director gen.
eral have been handing you boys in
creased wages and the eight-hour day
while I have been getting dollar a
year and an 18-hour day." This would
seem to indicate that Mr.. McAdoo has
been paying the railroad boys out of
his own pocket, but it should not be
construed that way. The people are
paying the increase and, in addition
thousands of "playthings" have been
given lucrative positions for apparent.

1t has come to point where Presi-
dent Wilson, when strolling incog. in
the Latin Quarter of Paris has to be
continually on his guard. File de
joies, and art students male and fe-
male, have been rushing out of their
dens and SOLDERING over Mr.. Wilson's
cheeks. According to reports he was
the best-kissed man in France. And,
may be that is the reason our presi-
dent slums so often in the Latin Quar-
tier even though the natives breath
is impregnated with an odor of garlic.

The postoffice appropriation bill, as
out by the senate committee,
provides, among other things, for the
expenditure, during the next three
years, of $500, 100000 for the construc-
ton and maintenance of roads, which
is a very good provision. There
are other features of the bill, includ-
ing money for airship mail routes
which have been tried by Mr.. Burle-
son and found wanting, that will not
meet with public endorsement. But
what can be expected from a con.
gress whose chief aim seems to be the
squandering Of the peoples money?

Brother Hank Ford of the Dearborn
Independent charges Commander Tru-
man w. Newberry with winning out
in the United States senatorial cam
paign by means of fraudulent prac-
tees, and the senate is digging down
into the roots of the asseveration. So
far the investigators have failed to
discover any irregularities in the cam
paign procedure of Mr.. Newberry, and
we scarcely think there are any. 1t
seems to be mere case of "sour ap-
pies" on Mr.. Ford's part, and we would
suggest that the tactics of the loser as
we'll as the winner be investigated.

sickening and silly. Had she been a

render profteering impossible. Ac-

through system of negligent and in

The papers are now playing up
Governor Burnquist for president of
the United States. Nothing surprising
as Minnesota papers have boosted the
states governors for president from
early days. While Governor Burnquist
would doubtless more than measure up
to the average president, the starting
of a boom for him seems to be a
trife premature.

Reporters at the peace conference

Reporters at the peace conference
are complaining that some transac-
lions are kept secret from them. But
what's the difference when the news
thinkers in this country are fully equal
to the task Of filing in the blanks in

these fellows possess such imaginative
minds that they could manufacture the
peace conference stories from "whole
CLOTH" And the public would never
know the difference.

AS there are many allied prisoners
in Germany whose whereabouts have
not been reported it is believed by
some officials that the Huns are main
tanning secret camps in which these
men are being held, and searching
parties have been sent into the coun-

found that allied soldiers are being
kept prisoners in secret camps punish
ment of a drastic nature should be
meted out to those responsible.

Blouses of geOrGette crepe are ut
least as numerous as any other kind,
and become soiled as quickly. But
they require special, but not difficult
treatment In washing and ironing.
This Is Il work that women do for
themselves, and II Is worth while 10
do this work for chiffon. light weight
silk, satin and lace blouses. Nearly
everyone has learned something of the
art of tinting or dyeing blouses, when
time and wear fade those that are col
ored or yellow those that were white.
Women who have learned how TO laun-
der their own fine blouses turn them
out as good as new after unnumbcred
washings, or tint them into first one
color and then another. according to
their fancy.
The various manufacturers of dyes
have placed on the market many colors
that may be used for tinting by mix
ing with water. COlored crepe papers.
soaked in water yield several lovely
tints. But one may get almost any
color desired or match any hue by us
ing tube paints and gasoline as q tint
ing medium.
The washing of crepe and other
sheer fabrics Is simply matter Of
handling them gently. Make warm
suds of water and white soap and dip
the blouse repeatedly in this, squeez-
ing the solled portions in the hand or
rubbing them very gently. If much
soiled wash through a second suds
and rinse in clear, tepid water. Do
not twist or wiring to dry, but lay In
towel and run through wringer.
Do not allow to dry before ironing, but
fold in a turkish towel for awhile
and iron while damp. Use a moder-
ately hot iron and iron on the wrong
side, stretching the material to it's
proper shape-otherwise IL will shrink.
DO not allow any part Of the waist
to become dry before ironing. If it
Is necessary to iron part of crepe or
silk waist on the right side, owing to
the way in which 1t is made, place n
thin muslin between the iron and the
fabric.
When crepe waist is to be tinted It
Is first washed and rlnsed. After that
1t Is rlnsed In Il water to which color
has been added. This color can he
