What Il Costs to Dress.

Presumably after much serious
thought. the experts OF the United
States Industrial board have composed
a wardrobe for a workingman and an
other for his wife, with prices showing
how much more it cost to dress with
economy in March 1919. than it did in
1914. Accepting these figures, which
indicate that the workingmap and his
wife now pay nearly twice as much as
they did five years ago, one is surprised
to find that both dress for almost
identically the same sum. In 1914 he
and she would have dressed respect
lively, for s5S.65 and s5S15; but now
they pay sl06.15 and S10l,S0. His
three pairs of overalls," for example,
have gone from 1925 to 1856 and her
three aprons" from 90 cents to s2.25.
One is surprised too at the discovery
that the man OF the family spends
msre for his hats than the woman;
and even today an estimate of $3.50 for
any woman's hats. how many is not
stated, does not seem exorbitant. One
wonders also how the board experts
decided on the number OF overalls for
the workingman and the number OF
aprons for his wife.-Christian Science

HEPBURN AND IMPROVEMENTS.
Iowa Congressman Always Opposed
Pork EarreIN leqisIatiop.

Turnout the twenty-five years that
Colonel Hepburn was In congress his
hostility To pork barrel legislation
never abated", says DIR. John Il. Briggs
In n biography OF William Peters Hep
turn, now In the course OF publlca-
ton by the state Historical Society OF
Iowa. Year after year he protested
with such regularity against the prac-
tice of wasting money on useless pub
lie improvements that the newspapers
were accustomed to refer To Hep
burns annual speech against the
river and harbor blll".
Hepburn was heartily in favor of
proper river and harbor improvements,
but nc opposed the river and harbor
bills because they were mot vehicles
for the legitimate appropriations OF
money TO conduct legitimate improve
ments Of rivers and harbors," but were
measures constructed in such n way
as, by favortism, to secure the neces-
sary number OF votes to pass them ir
the house." when someone suggested
that his opposition was due TO the
fact that there was no pork in the
barrel" for him, he introduced an
amendment appropriating s55, 900 -
the pro rate share OF his constituents
for the removal and exclusion of
water" from the highways of the
Eighth Congressional District Of Iowa.

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Francois Fenelon,
is IT YOURS7
AUG. S, 1851.

AUG. S, 1851.
At the Chateau of Fenelon, in the
romantic territory of Perigord. there
was born a delicate little baby who
was to cause tremendous controver-
sy in France.
Francois Fenelon was the son of
country nobleman of large family
and small estate. He was SO frail
his early education took place at home,
tho when he was Is he was allowed to
pursue his beloved classic studies in
Paris. He was a devout churchman-
in fact, head of a mission of priests
sent TO the Huguenots. He was intro
duced to that very good section of the
court presided over by Madam de
Maintenon and finally was made tutor
TO the Duke of Burgundy, eventual
heir to the throne.
To influence the character of this
strange prince-a character capable
of being saint or monster, but never
an ordinary human being-Fenelon
wrote his famous "Telemaque." In this
the adventures Of the son of Ulysses in
search of a father. are made into a
political novel; and If the plot suffers
because of the Utopian theories OF
government, at least, the young prince
gained in political knowledge.
Fenelon was made arch bishop OF
Cambria, and was banished to his do
cese as the result of great quarrel
stirred up between king, pope and
church over a religious treatise. He
was much loved by all the intellectuals
of his period.

WHAT WILL PALMER DO AND HoWP

1t Is being proclaimed that Attorney
General Palmar is Immediately to curb
the profiteers. Federal attorneys have
been notified that the profiteers are to
be curbed and corralled. Incidentally,
and practically along with the procla-
nation, comes the start OF presidcn-
tial boom for Attorney General Palm
er. The TWO may have no connection.
No outline of how or by what means
the attorney general is TO round up the
profiteers is offered however. Under
present legal status it is not readily
to be seen just what the attorney gen.
eral is going to do. How he is going
to do it and to whom It is to be done.
PROTECTING is general. Practically ev-
cry one who produces or sells Is bear
ing down as hard as he can Every
body is getting his, big and little.
There is a wave of profiteering that
runs thru the big rollers down to the
little ripples.
The fact Is that there has been prof.
iteering thruout the war tine. We are
beginning to feel it more now that the
war is over. The huge war profits were
profiteering, no less. The emergency
gave us something greater to think
Of and consider above hign prices and

SOLDIERS AND JOBS,

It Is reported from the war depart
ment that between 20 and 80 per cent
OF returned soldiers have been offered
their old jobs by employers.
That is very pleasing information.
It is probably correct. The average
employer felt himself obligated to
offer the soldier his place when he
returned. And it seems that most of
them did so.
But in many instances the soldier
didn't want the old job. He had
changed his program, perhaps he had
in the service picked up the elements
and foundation of a trade that suited
him better and offered more. Maybe
his soldering had given him a dis
taste for indoor life and he forsoOk

doors and a larger freedom.

American commissioners and the re-
ioinder prepared for the Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland will see at once that
the differences between the two are
matters of fact, not of opinion-that in
many cases the same facts were
known to both parties, and in all cases
ought to have been known, before they
spoke.
There is, therefore, no possible way
to explain the positive contradictions
marking the two presentations OF
British rule in Ireland of today except
by the assumption that on the one side
or the other there has been, and is. a
deliberate Justification of known facts
with intention to deceive. Either the
American commissioners or the British
officials have been guilty OF statements
the exact opposite of truth.
Whether it is the officials or the COM
missioners who. to put it bluntly, are
Iying-that. now. really as matter of
opinion at present for all who have not
investigated irish conditions for them
selves. That is most fortunate, for
the result will be decisions also con-

that the American commissioners, not

course they are doing it now and all
of the official denials are falses--New

WEAVER AND BRYAN

Iowa Leader Supported Bryan in
1896.
General James B. Weaver made the
chief nominating speech on behalf of
William Jennings Bryan in the Pop
ulist convention Of 1896, says DR.. Fred
Z. Haynes in his biography of James
Baird Weaver recently published by
the State Historical Society Of Iowa.
The active support of the Iowa leader
was appreciated by Mr.. Bryan who de-
clared that the nominating speech
could hardly be surpassed for. "di-
rectness. logic, strength and diction."
In a speech at Des Moines sometime
later, Mr.. Bryan referred to General
Weaver as that other gallant man,
who for twenty years has fought and.
whether we have agreed with him or
not on all the things, there is not an
honest man here but must concede
that where Weaver fought with the
strength of a giant" Mr.. Bryan ded-
icated his story of the campaign Of
1896 to the three pioneers, r, p.

Her fair white canvas torn and stained
A shapeless wreck her once proud

And standest thou disconsolate
To mourn thy loss, from all apart?
