EATING
by WALT MASON

I have just come back from din
ner, and l ate an hour or so; and
that dinner was q winner, taking 1t
as dinners go. First there was a
roast of mutton and / chewed away
with zest, till there wasn't let a but
ton on the north side of my vest.
There were beets and sweet potatoes,
and some prune juice, extra dry,
macaroni with tomatoes, and / finish
ed up with pie. Now I have the in
digestion, and my works fierce rue
tons raise, and with me 1t is a ques-
ton whether eating truly pays. If
we just would cut out eating we
could save a lot of rocks, salt them
down and keep repeating, in the safe
deposit box. We would prosper like
the dickens. put all kinds of wealth
away, If we'd cut out veal and chick
ems and be satisfied with hay. But
SO few of us are able to accumulate a
bone! On the ample dinner table all
our revenue is thrown. Then our
innards get to baking, underneath
the victuals' heft, and the doctor
comes ~a-docking, and he takes what
coin is left. oh, the druggists round
me frolio, pouring nostrums into me,
for I have spasmodic collie, and I am
a sight to see. So 1t scarcely is sur
prising that a pain-tormented dub
so much like moralizing on the
vanity of grub.

Great ships, driven by fierce winds

Strife and contention come because
of the unrestrained liberty given the
tongue-it does more damage than
a wild beast let loose.
Bitterness n remorse follow from
the careless use of words-they cause
more suffering than a ship pounded

Confusion and despair are the re-

communities and Kingdoms are torn
to shreds and the refinements of life
are trampled upon as though they
were a dung-heap.
And the tongue is a fire"

FOR THE ~EX-SERVICE MEN

With fifty service men who have returned since the well

that others will soon make themselves known so that the Well
come Home committee will be able to complete its plans.
AS soon as it is felt that all the ex-service men have regis

be called together at City Hall and asked to vote on the kind of
celebration they prefer. 1t goes without saying that it would
be Impossible to arrange for them as elaborate an entertain
ment as was provided on June 80, although there is no doubt
the committee would do Its best for them.
The idea of getting the men together to decide for them
selves what form the celebration should take is suggested by
an anonymous letter that was received by the EVENING NEWS
shortly after the first call was issued for the men to register.
This letter was not published because the writer did not sign.

men who has returned since the city's celebration and stated
that he felt that the boys would prefer having the money that
would be spent in giving them a clambake or other proposed
celebration, divided between them as, with winter coming
by many of the boys to a better advantage than by blowing it
in in the manner proposed.
The fact that the city has already held its celebration and
that to repeat an event of this kind is always more or less of
a failure, the idea is not without merit. Besides, if there are
only a few of the boys yet to be remembered, it might be a
good idea to let them decide for themselves how the money
that the committee still has for their benefit shall be disposed

dollars apiece there is reason to believe they would appreciate
the cash more than any celebration that might be arranged.

Luke McLmke Says

Luke McImke Says.
F., And you nay have noticed that a
~henpecked husband isn't a bit afraid
of the hens when he is away from
home.
Many a husband would like to have
a wife who would drive him to drink
II she would also supply the drink.
When q man loafs he loafs. But
when a woman loafs she does fancy
work or sews on something.
When a wife believes only half what
she hears about her husband she al
ways believes the wrong half.
AS long as the books have bindings
that match the rug, a woman is quite
satisfied with her library.
Another rule is that when you have
a hard time getting a girl to sing you
have twice as hard a time getting her
to stop.
A woman is a party who will pay
$40 for store hair and then pay $40
more for a hat that hides the store
hair.

CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION HELD UP

We read this morning that congress has decided not to
pass any railroad legislation at this session. II is also s'a'eu
authoritatively that mo other constructive measures such aS
legislation to create a merchant marine policy or reorgamze ne
army will be enacted until the senate has ratified the treaty
and business has an opportunity to adjust itself to peace con
dtions.'
Still the senate talks and debates, argues and harrangues.

as anything can in this age to make peace permanent Is mo-
perfect, the flaws here and there to be found IN IL are picheo
out by certain Wilson hating senators and magnified lar De-
yond their importance, thus holding up everything In the way
of constructive legislation.
It is an outrageous condition of affairs. In the matter OF
railroads alone, the greatest economic problem 0at cohironsS
this nation, something ought to be done to solve TINS ma''er
before the roads are returned to their private owners 'he hrs'
Of the year. There are several plans before congress- pu'
none can be given serious consideration until the peace treaty
is out of the way; still the senate deliberately refuses u per-
form it's part in restoring the world to its normal oondluon.
The patience of the American people is about exhausted.
They want action. If the opponents of the League OF Nauons
really believe they have enough votes to amend the treaty ana
throw it back upon the peace conference at versailles why q .
they not proceed to adopt the amendments?
There are two reasons why they do not. One is they are
not sure of the necessary number of votes and fear to show their
actual weakness. The other is, should they be able to force
through the amendments, thereby causing the treaty TO De re-
turned to Versailles for alterations, they have sense enough TO
know that the world, as chaotic as it is today, would be thrown
into a state of confusion worse COMPOUNDED and, what is still
more to the point, the obstructionists know that the blame for
whatever happens would be thrown upon their shoulders and
that means the Republican party would have to assume the
responsibility.
The only alternative is to ratify the treaty as it stands,
inst as GERMANY has accepted it; as Great Britain has accepted
it and as France is soon to accept it. Other nations, who want
more than they got, are holding off in the hope that the
United States will reject the treaty, thereby affording them the
opportunity of trying again to crafty their lust for territory.
Not only in the United States, but throughout the whole
world constructive legislation is awaiting the senates action.
The time has come to stop the talk and act. Almost anything
is better than the present uncertainty, but the Republican
party as represented by certain senators at Washington must
accept full responsibility for whatever result the rejection or
amendment of the treaty may bring.
