Minstrels.
The Newport Frolics" minstrel
show last week was splendid sue
cess from every point. Every seat in
Lanes opera house was sold and all
agree that the entertainment was
well worth the price of admission.
The music was furnished by Nc
Cauley's orchestra of eleven pieces.
The chorus was well drilled and
everything moved with precision.
Without giving lengthy detail it
would be hard TO give anyone an idea
of the star performance. Mildred
Pomeroy as the 'Moonbeam Sprite"
with fancy dancing under the spotlight
won enthusiastic applause. Four
couples doing the Kake Walk were
also a splendid attraction.
The principal satisfaction OF the eff
fort of the young people combined
with the flower sale OF the day was
the addition to the hospital fund OF
over 500.

ever. congress passed q law provid-
inx the government should pay only
for the space occupied in cars carry
ing the mail, and the difference in
the cost to the government is ap-
proximately $1o,0o0,oo0 annually.
Naturally, the railroads did not like
to lose this large bonus. Conse-
quently, am not popular in that
quarter.
1.-THE pneumatic tube incubus,
where the government was paying
millions to private concerns for
worse-than-useless service, was an
other thing which, with the aid of
President Wilson, we corrected, The
pneumatic tube people are agrees
sive in their resentment-naturally.
THE correction of one evil, for
which cannot claim the credit, con-
tributed, perhaps, as much as any
thing to the facility with which hos
tile criticism is circulated. That Is
the establishment Of new rate on
second class mail-published mat
ter-the bulk of which is advertising,
which the publishers are highly paid
for circulating.
000, 900 more per year than 1t re-
matter. This the public had to pay
for the benefit of the publishers. My
predecessors had earnestly recon-
mended raising the rate to relieve
the government Of at least portion
of this burden, and a commission, of
which former Supreme Court Justice
Hughes was chairman, recommended
that the second class rate be in
creased. When 1t became necessary
for congress to raise revenue for
carrying on the war, the house ways
and means committee proposed an
increase in the rate of both first and
second class postage. Though recog-
nizing that there should be proper
and fair adjustment Of the second
class rate, SO that greater portion
of the expense Of carrying advertis-
ing matter through the mails should
be borne by the publishers who prof
tied by 1t, I opposed the enactment of
the law at that time, and in that
way, because / do not think the pos
tai service should ever be employed
as a means of raising general reye-
nues.
"The department should never col
lect any more money than it uses in
the service. 1t should be made self
supporting. or as nearly 50 as an
economical administration of its af-
fairs and an adequate service rem
ders possible. 1t should not aim to
produce q surplus. The law was en-
acted, however, and that part which
relates to second class postage
should be retained because it helps
the government pay the expense of
the service and operates an injustice
to no one"

A FEELING OF SECURITY.

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are
about to take is absolutely pure and
contains no harmful or habit pro
ducing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's

der remedy.
The same standard of purity
strength and excellence is main
tanned in every bottle of Swamp
Root
1t is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs
1t is not stimulant and is taken
In teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for every
thing
1t is natures great helper in re
lieving and overcoming kidney, liver
Ind bladder troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is
with every bottle of DR.. Kilmer':

peace with Austria and establish
new basis of independence and right
in the states which originally con-
stituted the Austro-Hungarian en-
Ipire and in the states of the Balkan
group on principles of another kind.
We must apply the same principles
to the settlement of Europe in those
quarters that we have applied In the
peace with Germany.
j 1t was upon the explicit avowal OF
those principles that the initiative
flor peace was taken. 1t is upon them
:! that the whole structure of peace
must rest.
! Ii those principles are to be ad-
hered to, Fiume must serve as the
outlet of the commerce, not Of Italy.
but of the land to the north and
northeast OF that port, Hungary, Bo-
hemia, Rumania and the states OF
| the new Jugo-Slav group. To assign
Fiume to Italy would be to create the
feeling that we have deliberately put
! the port upon which all those coun-
! tries chiefly depend for the access
! to the Mediterranean in the hands Of
IA power of which it did not form an
Integral part and whose sovereignty,
liz set up there, must inevitably seem
/ foreign. not domestic, or identified
with the commercial and industrial
life of the regions which the port
must serve. 1t is for that reason, no
t doubt. that Fiume was not included
in the pact of London, but there
definitely assigned to the Croatians.
! And the reason why the line of the
ipact of London swept about many of
80 In cfot-Y1 CT Sf
THE Adriatic and around the portion
of the Dalmatian coast which lies
imost open to that sea was not only
that here and there on those Islands,
and here and there on that coast,
there are bodies Of people Of Italian
blood and connection, but also, and
no doubt chiefly, because 1t was felt
that It was necessary for Italy to
have foothold amidst the channels
! of the eastern Adriatic in order that
she might make her own coasts safe
against the naval aggression or AUS
itria-Hungary.
But Austria-Hungary no longer
exists 1t is proposed that the forti-
fications which the Austrian govern
ment constructed there shall be RACED
and permanently destroyed.
I 1t is part also OF the new pldH Oh
European order which centers in the
league of nations that the new states
erected there shall accept a limita-
ton Of ornaments, which puts
aggression out of the question. There
can be no fear OF the unfair treat
ment of groups of Italian people
there, because adequate guarantees
would be given, under international
sanction, Of the equal and equitable
treatment OF all racial or national
minorities.
In brief, every question associated
with this settlement wears a new
aspect--a new aspect given 1t by the
very victory for right for which Italy
has made the supreme sacrifice of
blood and treasure. Italy. along with
the four other great powers, has be-

come one OF the chief trustees OF the
new order which she has played so
honorable part in establishing.
"And on the north and northeast
her natural frontiers are completely
restored, along with the whole sweep
of the Alps, from northwest to south
east to the very end Of the lstrian
peninsula, including all the great
watershed within which Triest and
Pola lie, and all the fair regions
whose face nature has turned to-
ward the great peninsula upon which
the historic life OF the Latin people
has been worked out through CEN
turtles OF famous story ever since
Rome was first set up on her seven
hills.
Her ancient unity is restored. Her
lines are extended to the great walls
which are her natural defense. 1t is
within her choice to be surrounded
by friends; to exhibit to the newly
liberated peoples across the Adriatic
that noblest quality OF greatness,
magnanimity, friendly generosity,
the preference Of justice over in
Iterest.
The nations associated with her,
the nations that know nothing OF the
pact of London or Of any other
special understanding that lies at
the beginning Of this great struggle,
and who have made their supreme
sacrifice also in the interest not Of
national advantage or defense, but
of the settled peace of the world,
are now united with her older asso-
ciates In urging her to assume a
leadership which cannot be mistaken
in the new order of Europe.
America is Italy's friend. Her
people are drawn, millions strong,
from Italy's own fair countrysides.
She is linked in blood, as well as in
affection, with the Italian people.
Such ties can never be broken. And
America was privileged by the gener-
GUS commissions Of her associates in
the war to initiate the peace we are
about to consummate--to initiate 1t
upon terms which she had herself
formulated and in which I was her
spokesman.
The compulsion is upon her to
square every decision she takes a
part in with those principles. She
can do nothing else. She trusts
Italy and in her trust believes that
Itlay will ask nothing OF her that
cannot be made Enthusiastically consis-
tent with those sacred obligations.
The interests are not now in ques-
ton, but the rights Of peoples, of
states, new and old, of liberated
peoples and peoples whose rulers
have never accounted them worthy
of right; above all, the right of
the world to peace and to such settle
ments of interest as shall make peace
secure.
These, and these only, are the
principles for which America has
fought : These, and these only, are
the principles upon which she can
consent to make peace. Only upon
these principles she hopes and be-
lieyes will the people Of Italy ask
her to make peace.
