EDITORIAL NOTES.

Ne one has been heard to complain
over the prospects of the next being
the last popular loan.
From the rapidity with which boil
sheyism spreads in certain regions it
must bear some relation to influenza.
The way in which the 9th regiment
took New York by storm is only a fore
runner Of what the 10Th will do in New
England.
With the amount of fish in cold
storage more than doubled in the ,,ast
year it is easy 10 understand why
prices continue to remain high.
The man on the corner says; The
prospects of a long spell of warm
weather is no satisfaction to those who
are always happiest when the mercury
is AT zero.
1t is declared that there are 100000
if they only had fire arms, but there's
the same old trouble, there's no policy
in regard to Russia.
OF course it will do no good but, af-
Ter It has been determined just how
much the war cost, it will be interest
ing to ascertain how much of the cost
was actually sqandered.
Those who are in charge of it may
not forget in respect to foodstuffs that
what goes up must come down, but a
understandable regard is being
shown for the speed limit
Hungary hasn't by any means given
the peace conference a solar plexus
but it has unquestionably given it a
jolt at time when it should bear fruit
in Fastening the day of peace.
Il is of course pleasing to think that
the dollar is above par in Norway, but
1t requires about two of them now to
obtain what used TO be secured for a
cartwheel just before the war.
II is possible that those who are SC
anxious to sink the German warships
will realize that it might be advisable
to wait until peaceful conditions pre-
vail before saying any more about it.
" there are a million Russians eager
to get back to their native land it is tc
be hoped that they do not hear about
| that story of SO many dying in Petro-
| grad that collins are only rented fol-
| the funeral services.

Trouble Getting Necessities


Correspondence of the Associated
Finding the necessities of life for
the people is one Of the great prob
lens of the Russian govern
ment having its headquarters at
Omsk. Light is one of the most
urgent needs. Electricity exists
systematically in less than half the
city. The burning Of an electric
power plant caused a big section to
depend entirely on petroleum. or ker-
osene, and candles. But the stock of
petroleum is almost exhausted and
candles are becoming rare
The less of Samara has proved a
great blow in this respect for, through
Samara from the rich petroleum dis
tricts of the Caucasus, came the
Omsk supply of petoleurn, oil and fats

the railway cars is a very serious
matter in connection with the ques-
ton of transport, already difficult OF

| Candles cost eight rubles apiece and
are difficult to find.

] four o'clock in the afternoon and
continues until eight o'clock in the
morning. The absence of light in the

so per cent. of our foreign commerce
for the next year if all that we have
was available for transoceanic service
the prospects seem good that our ship
yards will not only be kept busy turn
ing out ships for our own use but in
handling such orders as we can from .
other countries. According to Chair
man Hurley the outlook for shipbuild-
ing activity is good, but in addition
thereto he points with enthusiasm to
the opening that exists in the man
ming of these vessels if the commerce
is going to be handled, for seven men
are going to be required where one is
now in that line of work.
Mr. Hurley sees where our merchant
marine has the opportunity of getting
to the position which has been SO much
desired for a long time, and it is to be
hoped that he is not too optimistic and
that handicaps which have appeared te,
stand in the way can be overcome.

HEADLIGHT DANGERS.

1t is perfectly evident that much
Improvement has resulted from the law
which restricts the use of the powerful
headlights on automobiles. For the
most part the dazzling lights have been
removed and replaced by those which
eliminate or greatly reduce the glare
and it contributes greatly to the safety
of the highway The powerful search
lights Of a season or two ago are prac-
tically done away with and would be
completely a thing of the past if the
law was properly respected.
1t is d reform that was a long time
coming but none understand the value
Of it more than those who operate au-
tomobiles. They cannot fail 10 rec
ognize that even though the rJad ahead
is not lighted for as great :, distance,
1t is lighted enough under the restric-
tons and there is obtained merely a
feeling Of security when meeting ears
going in the opposite direction which
was not the case until the law was en-
acted
There are still instances, however
where auto owners or drivers refuse to
comply with the provisions regarding
lights. They are determined TO nave
their own way and to take chances in
regard to that even as some do in
evading other requirements and regu-
lations. Even though approved lenses
are used TOO powerful lights are placed
behind them so that the dazzle still
prevails. and such conditions are con-
tributing to occasional accidents ant
now and then a fatality entirely need
loss. There ought to be sufficient re.
sponsibility assumed ny auCo drivers
TO see that this provision Tor saIety
is upheld, but what is more impor
tart the enforcement of the light reg
ulat.ons should receive more careful
attention. 1t is.a matter which ough
