WHO'LL BITE?

We are told that the railroads will be returned, rebuilt and re- equipped at a moment when the pri- vate owners could not possibly f. nance them.
 It is injudicious to tell people things like this. or tell man a good fib may not deceive him, but it will probably interest him. He will enjoy the ingenuity of it, even if he doesn't believe it. He will say, "an attempt has at least been made to concoct something plausible. It is not true on the face of it, incred- ible, although it happens to be un- true. It does not insult my intelli- gence. l am not, in word, invited to think that l am a half-wit." !"
 A clumsy lie does positive harm to its inventor. It awakens suspic- ion, and antagonizes the man to whom it is told. He thinks that he is not considered worth the trouble fable. You only annoy man when you tell him ,sotlething that would not fool a siSrysar old.
 So far from tquipping the rail- roads, noi attempt, Whatever has been made to- provide for depreciation At the present tBrice of labor and material it will cost five hundred mil lion dollars to, putst roads in the same condition that, they were in when the gove1nnsnt took them over. And they we're running at a profit before that,
 Where do propagandists buy their chemicals that make them talk like this? It is crude alcohol or tincture of opium. As private recipes for making piffiicating beverages will be at a premium after the first of July, 1t is unthrifty to make a see. ret of the formula.

The Rov Scouts of America have rendered notaDe service to the nation during the world war They nave done effective work in the Liberty Loan and war oaV ngs campaigns in discovering and reporting upon IAe black walnut supply in cooperating with the Red cross and other war work agencies, Tn acting as despatcn hearers for the Committee on Public Information and in other important fields The Boy Scouts have not only demonstrated their worth to the Naon but nave also materially contributed to deeper appreciation py the American people of the higher conception of pat riotism and good citizenship.
 The Boy Scout movement should not only be preserved but strengthened It deserves the support of all public spirited citizens The available means for the Boy Scout movement have thus far suftced for the organization and training of only small propor- ton of the boys of the country There are approxl- mately 1O00O000 boys in the United States between the ages of twelve and twenty-one. Of these only 5000 are enrolled as members of the Boy Scouts Of America
 America cannot acquit herself commensuratey with her power and influence in the great period now facing her and the world unless the boys of America given better opportunities than heretofore to pre- pare themselves for the responsibilities of citizenship
 Every nation depends for its future upon the prop CT training and development of its youth The Ameri can boy must have the best training and discipline great democracy provide if America is to man- tain her ideals her standards and her influence in the world.

BABIES AND CANARIES

A man-JuSt an ordinary man one of the Smiths and Joneses-took his baby to a doctor. This happen ed in one of the middle western states, but that doesn't matter. It could have happened anywhere.
 The doctor prescribed various things, and the man departed with his baby to druggist. One of the things he had to buy was a bottle of cod liver oil. There was war tax on it, but he thought more of his baby than the tax. He bought it.
 Another of the items was zinc stearate-which only babies need and this also was subject to tax. Again paternal affection triumphed over parsimony. He bought it.
 As he was leaving the store he remembered that he needed bird seed for his canary. He asked for some and was gratified to learn that there was no tax.
 On his way home he reflected phi losophically-without rancor. Yet he felt mystifed. Babies" he thought, "are penalized in the U. s. A. They are not encouraged to exist. It is more practical to keep a canary than baby"
 Long ago in England a marriage license cost three shillings and six pence, and dog tax ten shillings. It cost more to be dog than a mar ried man. The dog was the aristo- crat.
 But there was method in this. 1t IS unwise to discourage the marriage ceremony; some people are already too prone to dispense with it. And, although dogs are good pals, we are able to get on without them.
 But to put penalty on babies is new idea. Bird seed may be a necessity for raising certain neces- sary birds-but certain medicines are unquestionably necessary for raising babies. Legislators appear to see them from the same viewpoint as apartment landlords.
 Congress has plenty of ideas. and some of them would be worth money to Mack Sennett. Three are con- gressmen who ought to be writing subtitles for two reel screams.
