The fact that many people think
women grow old quicker than men has
nothing to 90 with the case. as many
women do not tell their right ages in
the first place. Perhaps with a large

sex. But in later life the difference is
more than made up.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is tueky thing thar President
Wilson Gao move abo#c with greater
speed than an army.
A good many vacationists will agree
with Mr.. Hoover that the packing in
dustry ought to be regulated.
The man On the corner says: It Is
hard work TO get away from the well
established fact that habit is one of
the worst bosses.
The snow made it seem a bit more
wintry but l. is quite certain that the
period in which more can be expect
ed is decidedly short,
1t may be possible to go fishing his
spring without fear of submarines
but those in European waters must
have a care lest they get afoul of
mine
Prince Joachim has been arrested
on suspicion of being connected with
intrigues. Just trying to show prob
ably that he is chip OF the old
block.
II the shortage in the peanut crop
results in a boosting of the price, it
can be expected that the favorite cir
Gus food will soon be selling at about
six for five cents.
The indications are that the coal
producers are to be allowed to get an
increase amounting possibly to 10
cents a ton. Something has to be done
Of course to offset any spring drop.
II is a bit astonishing that Mexico
should want to join the league of ma
tions, inasmuch as that stands for
peace, but there's no chance that Vii
las wishes have been consulted.
If the handling Of the former kali
sers case is puzzling because of the
lack Of a precedent, all that 1t is nee
essary to do is to leave it to President
Wilson. Presidents are nothing to
MIN.
With call being made for The
biggest war garden year ever" it is
quite e:s5ent that the experience
sained in the past year or two can
yet be ut to good use for self and ma
ton.
Instead IF throwing many officers
out of work as the Germans complain
the armistice terms imposed upon
Germany will simply give those mill
tary Men chance to engage IN the
production Of something: worth while.

ANOTHER REFORM.

II was not so long ago that there
twas a demand for the replacing of the
general plan of selecting party rep
resentatives in states by the csnven-
ton method, where the people depend
cd upon their delegates to do the
work for them, by the direct primary
method. whereby the nominations
are made by the peocle. 1t was
claimed that it would do away with
Il lot of chicanery and really repre-
sent the choice of the party.
The idea has been tried out in many
states and it has been found that the
direct primaries while promising to be
an excellent reform in theory has not
worked out so well in practice. 1t
has been found that there is just as
much to be said against the expense
Of the primary campaign as there
ever was against the outlay of money

A NEW ENGLAND SPEAKER.

From all indications it appears that
the contest for the speakership of the
house in the next congress is all over
but the shouting. Ever since it was
established that the republicans would
be in control there has been hot riv-
airy among the republicans for that
office. Although the attitude which
Congressman Mann of Illinois took on
certain matters during the early
stages of the war could hardly have
been regarded otherwise than suffi-
garded for the position OF speaker he
has put up a hot fight against the
field. His chief rival has been Con-
gresham Gillett Of Massachusetts, al
though Congressman Fess and Long
North have had strong backing,
It became evident. however, that
with so many in the fight the situa-
ton was being made more favorable
for the Illinois candidate whose Sc
lection would he against the best in
