POSSIBLY MORE So"

Our Senator Kenyon, speaking tho other day
on his bill directed at some Of the practices ct
the packers, remarked that the people Of the
United States are as interested in the question
of the high cost of living as they are IN the
league of nations, and possibly more So True.
Many are in agreement with Mr. Kenyon and
are voicing the belief that the high cost OF hv-
ing has a place In public thought even beyond
that of the ratification Of the treaty. 1t is
safe statement to make that for one person de-
srous of discussing the details of the peace
treaty or Of the league of nations, ten are ready
and willing TO talk prices, on profteerng
and on the great need of getting things go
ing" The nearer thrust is the one that reaches
people around their tables and at their fire.
sides, and the matter of cost of living has such
a thrust
If the ratification of the treaty were viewed
as question of political policy alone, there
Is no question that the cost of living would CON-
mand much wider interest. But the ratification
of the treaty must by people who are intelligent
Of affairs in any large way be viewed as init
mately connected itself with the moves which
must be made to get out Of the present confns-
ion In which the relation OF earning power and
buying power is we'll nigh lost light of. 1t will
be a possible revelation to the warriors who
may tour the country in combat over the league
of nations to find that uppermost in the minds
of their hearers is desire that academic debate
be shortened; that direct questions be answered
clearly; that action be expedited to the point of
wisdom in avoiding impulsive decision The
people of this and other lands want peace and
the peace that is accompanied with the bles-
sings supposed to go with it. The people are
impatient over periods of delay in getting the
war behind them. They are eager that move

REMOVES WRINKLES AND
REFRESHES TIRED FACES

AS the skin tends to expand in warm
weather, causing wrinkles to form, a
good estringent-tonic lotion should be
used these days Dissolve an ounce of
pure powdered saxolite in half pint
of witch hazel. Battle the face in this
and see how quickly the wrinkles and
burrows will disappear and how
much younger you will look! There's
nothing better for sagging cheeks or
double chin, or for enlarged pores.
Use this simple lotion during the
heat of the day and you will find it
wonderfully refreshing. You will lose
that witty, tired look. The ingredients
of course are perfectly harmless. Be
sure to ask the druggist for powdered
saxolite.

The Railroad Question.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Perhaps the mere facts that rail-
road study has been made by q
national transportation conference
and that its report reaches congress
through the house interstate and
foreign commerce committee ought
not detract from the value Of the re-
port, but railroads are real estate
and property entirely aside from the
commerce carried on by their use.
1t does not appear that the house
has a committee to consider bills
under that power of congress that is
now standing in the way of the
league. !. e., THAT congress shall
have power to dispose of, and make
all needful rules and regulations re-
specting the territory or other prop
erty belonging to the United States"
The federal farm loan law is being
attacked because of such feature as
federal prevention Of state taxation
of federal instruments, and, as 1t is
proposed to put railroads as federal
corporations" under control as to
security issues" 1t is evident cur
rent analysis of the constitution
affords no evidence Of progress.
When the constitution was adopted
there were no business corporations
in control of property. A new coun-
try has life that can endure much,
but Justice Is not established by such
study as that of railroads as instru-
ments Of commerce and not of rail
roads as property. AS a mere witt
cism 1t may be true that states are
hurrying to adopt flags and unload
their sovereignty, but without an
amendment the congress had no pro-
hibitive power over the people and
yet under the above 1t had over prop
erty, for rule might be in effect

not be inconsistent with prohibition,

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE MAN OF MORN.

The Man of Morn came down the way
With laughter in his eyes of light;
He the world sunny day,
He helped the world forget the night.
He took the and took the grief
And fled with them and cast them out,
And brought the world new belief
And sang and rang battle shout
The Man Of Morn good to see
Because of smiles that decked his face,
He broke mems gives and set them free
And made the world SUMMER place.
He grasped the shadow rolled it back
And put the vision in mems hearts,
And lifted them from of the rack
And swept old sorrow from the marts
He played and danced, he was a beam
From hills of beauty and of dawn;
He showed the world the way to dream,
And put its rainbow colors on.
He took the greed and hate and scorn,
And cast them down, and with the sun
or hope and cheer relit the
In spirits that had cried them done.
The Man of Morn came down the street,
And all the weary and the old
Turned young and gay and bthe and sweet
And travelled back from gray to gold
He took the signs and sobs and tears
And turned them into smiles and song,
And stayed the doubt and healed the fears
And steeled the right against the wrong
He loved and suffered and was true,
He gave and served, and answered death
With spring. and his trumpet blew
A challenge with his morning breath
A piper Of the peace OF earth,
He led the leg1ons, and they came
With dance and song and smiles Of mirth
That sprang from his auroral flame.

THE AIRPI.ANE SITUATION.

Representative La Guardia of New York, in
recent speech in the house laid bare some Of
the mistakes made by the administration in its
policy with the government of Mexico. Since
that time he has been flooded with letters ask
ing for further information concerning the sub
ject. ''Ihe house foreign affairs committee, :"
said Mr.. La auardia IN an interview, "should
demand from the state department all of the
records and facts concerning America 8 rela-
tons with Mexico since 1914 If we are to
know what to do with Mexico in the future we
must Know what has been done in the past
Germany mas known all through the war what
has been going on in Mexico. The Mexican
people have known. Everyone but the Ameri-
can people, those most interested and most
7itally concerned, have known of the wireless
stations in Mexico, and of the thousand and
one things which have existed as detriment
to this country
Mr. La Guardia, who served as an aviator
with the American army on the italian front
for more than fifteen months, has also been in
vestigating some of the activities Of the air
service in connection with the Mexican prob
lem. Zone of the best ways to make our south
ern border safe, so far as Mexico is concerned,
said the former major of aviation, is to have
sufficient airplanes, well equipped and well man
ned, that can be sent across the border if neces
ssry, quickly and efficiently"
It is said the United States should not worry
about matters from the air standpoint in Mexi-
co-that Mexico has no airplanes. But it is
known that the Mexican government at this
very time is negotiating with the French gov
eminent for machines with the hope of estab-
fishing an efficient squadron.
