WEALTHY FAMILIES
 LIVE IN STABLES

BELGRADE, July 28.-In Nor then Serbia many families, wealthy before the war, have been found by officers of the American Relief Ad- ministration an dthe American Red Cross living in stables and chicken coops. Their homes had been de- stroyed by the advancing or retreat in garmies. Their beds were heaps of straw covered with burlap. It was all that remained as furniture in their once pretentious estates. They were penniless and had no clothing except what they wore.

 At present pictures are often shown at a rate considerably higher than that at which the photographs were taken in order to avoid the flickerings due to intermittent il- lumination.

RESTORE THE HEARTHsTONE.

We must get back to the hearthstone-
the foundation and bulwark of all enduring
national strength and greatness The ten
dency of our modern life is clearly away
from this shrine The feverish and shallow
diversions of our day have cast a mournful
shadow on the fireside, and where once fam
lilies and their friends were wont to gather
for pleasant and beneficial communion only
the ghosts of delightful recollections hover
More than we need more picture shows and
vaudeville, more than need more automo-
biles, which have been hard on the homes
as the films, we need the circle of family
and friends around the hearthstone. Moth
ing will take its place. The undoing of
Rome from without was largely the result
of the crumbling of Rome from within Let
it not be true of America; yet, we must be-
ware avoiding those things which we're the
pitfalls of other peoples. 1t is said that the
Swiss cherishes his freside above all other
things of earth-it is something sacred to
him, for it typifes devotion and love With
great and turbulent nations on every hand
and earths most ghostly battlefields Just
beyond her borders the little republic of
Switzerland continues decade after decade
along her peaceful way The key to her
enlightened and valorous state is the plain
and healthful hearthstone. Ere it is too late
may America learn a lessor from the repub-
lie of the Alps

THE LEAGUE AND PARTIES

That party alignments have been broken
in the consideration of the league of nations
is shown by the fact that President Wilson
and former President Taft spoke from the
same platform in New York in favor of
this new policy. The league has its critics
among democrats as well as republicans.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, is a strong OPP
ponent of the plan. He is a democrat Sen
ator Thomas, of Colorado, another demo-
crat, has argued against the policy of adop-
ton of the agreement. Senator Ransdell,
of Louisiana, state where party fealty is
political religion, is openly against the
league and delivered a strong address de-
Tending his position in the senate. A num-
Der of other prominent democrats have
voiced their opposition.
Senator McCumber is the most conspicu-
Gus instance of a republican senator favor
ing the league. So far as they have declar-
ed themselves the senate republicans are
mostly adverse to the entire plan as it has
been submitted to the peace conference.
Had Colonel Roosevelt lived he would have
taken issue with the other ex-president, and
the friendship cemented between them dur
ing the last few months would have been
broken.
The league discussion will further break
party alignment, and will be eliminated as
a campaign issue. Sentiment for and against
it must come from study and reading, and
voters of the same party are likely to reach
adverse conclusions on its merits Had the
parties divided on party lines it would have
served the purposes of both With the cross
currents this is impossible.

The High Cost of Politics.
From the Monroe Advertiser.

Mrs. Roosevelt has been granted free
postage and an annual pension of SIS 900 by
the government. This action has become Gus
tomary in such cases, but it does not appear
to be sensible when the government is on the
eve of borrowing money from its citizens.
Neither does it appear sensible in view of the
fact that Mrs. ROosevelt'S wealthy husband
bequeathed to her several hundred thousand
dollars We take it that this custom dates
back to the time when it was the usual case
for a president or ex-president to die DOOR
and only in such cases is there reason for
the continuance of the custom. The govern
ment should be as quick to discard out-worn
financial methods as it is to turn from obso-
lete means of warfare or parliamentary pro-
cedure. The interests of the people are as
much at stake in the one case as the other
Another example of the high cost of poll
tics is shown by the recent action of con-
gresS IN voting a $1,000 increase in the sal
ares paid to the secretaries of congressman
These secretaries will receive salary of
$4,000 per year, the total increase repre-
senting $648,000 annually, which means
that much added taxation upon the people
The real point of the matter is as to wheth-
er secretary is worth $4,000 per year, and
1t IS not at all certain that he is. An intelli-
gent stenographer could fill the position. If
the office of secretary were to be filled under
civil service rules and competition were al
lowed to play its part competent secretaries
could be secured at a saving of at least half
million dollars.
Georgia congressman who voted for the
above mentioned increase were Howard
Larsen, Lee, VinsOn and Walker. Those vot-
ing against it were Bell, Crisp, Overstreet
Wise and Wright.
