There With That French.

French here. We can say "Dis done,
Jacques" and "Alors," and order
"oofs" and whisper to madame to slip
us some ''rhum" or "cognac" when no

boy to intersperse his conversation
with "n'est-ce-pas" as, for instance {:
Il guess we sleep with the sheep
tonight, n'est-ce-pas!"
"Mais oui. Avec les little mouttons."
"Well, they don't smell any worse
than some of you guys at that, nest
ce-pas?"

The revenue bill carrying $1,000
100000 for 1919 and $4,000,0OO,OOO
| for 1910 was loaded down with
almost every kind of legislation that
could be imagined. Not only was
the bone-dry amendment for the Dis
trict of Columbia attached, but what
was far more far-reaching In impor-
lance was an amendment taxing the
products of child labor. and another
taxing political campaign contributions
of more than $500 at the rate Of 100
per cent. What is interesting about
these various amendments that seem
to have no particular place in rev.
enue bill is the fact that they will be
adopted by the house. 1t is almost
certain that the house of representa-
tives will make sure that these amend
ments put on in the senate shall be
Incorporated in the bill before any con-
ference agreement is reached.
The child labor measure is one which
excited good deal of adverse com
ment, but strange to say Ii was not
opposed by the usual number of south
ern votes. In fact, a number OF south
: ern senator's voted for the amendment.
: They included Fletcher Of Florida. Gay
and Ransdell of Louisiana, Kirby OF
3 Arkansas, Mcclellan Of Tennessee, Mar
! tin and Swanson of Virginia, Sheppard
t Of Texas, and Vardaman of Mississippi.

WHAT 90 you KNOW?

The Secretary of War having INDUCED in such a
sweeping commentator of all the work of his depart
rent in the conduct of the war, it might be well for peo-
pie all over the country 10 write to their Senators and
Congressmen telling what they know Of the facts regard
ing DELAY. waste and ineffciency. When the head of the
Department gives unqualified approval TO the work OF his
department. it is in order for others to refresh his Nom.
DRY regarding delays in paving soldiers, delays in paying
anotments to dependents, delays in furnishing arms and
munitions. and waste in methods of conducting govern

close these facts. and they must come from people who
have had occasion 10 learn by personal observation.
