A SPRING SONG
With Notes.
BY EARL BALDWIN THOMAS.

Oh, Spring is on the harbor now and
ships sail out to sea to fish, the pas
lures pleasing to the COW and silken
is milady's swish: the bees are in the
clover sweet, the apple blossoms, pink
and white, fall gently at the farmers
feet and everything's a ioysome sight;
the robins gin to build their nests and
dig for worms most everywhere, and
students swell their puny chests with
oratorical fanfare debating whether
man for man, man measures up to
woman's stride, or whether in his
early span, his vision isn't half so
wide; the daflodils raise golden heads,
the pansies purple into flower and
other things in garden beds jump up
to live their little hour, while Paris
frocks and baby smocks and other
zephyr-like attire prepare the stronger
sex for shocks to come when Summer
brings it's fire; harmony, supremacy
fair, is swelling from the brides
Threats; for nothing now let's have a
care, except-of course-Buy Victory

CLOtt.-o AEo

Our ta.ors and mems ciothiers gen
orally find that they have a problem
on their hands as a result of the war.
For the soldiers who are coming back
into civilian life are found to be broad
er chested, iatter backed and In many
cases taller than they were before
they entered the service-all due b
military training and exercise. In adj
dition to these physical changes in the
men, they also sense desire on the
part Of the ex-soldier for a change in
the style and cut of his clothes. He
wants something In which he will feel
a more complete sense of physical
freedom and comfort than the old
creased trousers and pressed coat
sleeves afforded. It is challenge to
the tailors to meet these requirements
and they are struggling with the prob
lem In a convention In New York. 1t
is literally the first part Of the prob
lem of reconstruction, and important
at that, says Boston Globe. 1t
means the quick turning over of a cou-
pie OF hundred million dollars for one
thing, and may mean 4 clothes revolu-
ton such ms would make the late
Thomas Carlyle ponder anew on the
mysterious connection between human
nature and clothes.

advocate bond issue for road build.
ing and thereby, because of interest
charges. increase the cost of the roads
to the extent that the burden of taxes
upon the people for this Improvement
would practically double7
How About AppropriatIens7
"what policy for determining the
srnual appropriations would senatoE
Edwards suggest as an improvement
N the present budget act which has
worked out to the satisfaction of ev-
eryone who has had any experience
with its operation? What policy would
Senator Edwards suggest for the care
of state wards more economical, eff
ficent and humane than the one now
being operated by the recently created
department of charities and correc-
TONS, which, in the future, will be
known as the department of state in
situations and agencies?
Senator Edwards served as COMP
troller of the state treasury for three
years, during which time he had ample
opportunity to make any change in
that department he might consider
constructive. What changes does he
now suggest that will result in either
economy or efficiency and produce bet
ter results than are now being Sc
cured?
Here's Another Big Topic.
HAS Senator Edwards anything to
suggest to the people of New Jersey,
whose governor he aspires to be. as to
the reorganization Of any of the de-
partments of the state administration
ment? Why has Senator Edwards
scrupulously avoided, in all of his pub
lie utterances, making any statement
as to what he would do In relation to
the great development Of the port of
New York?
ain brief, what would Senator Ed
wards do In the event of his being
governor for the next three years?
Up to the present time he has sug-
gested nothing to build up the state.
He has announced no real program in
this period, when the future happiness
and prosperity Of the state depend
upon the maximum of intelligence for
reconstruction. He has devoted all of
his thought and energy to the advo-
cacy of destruction. Let Senator Ed
wards tell the people how he can bet
ter their present condition rather than
nv his earning criticism increase .
without warrant, the present unrest
and discomfort existing in both state
and nation"

The Halter Makes Good.

Before he went to war he was man.
ager of hat store in Third avenue,
New York City. Automatic in hand,
he stood in No Mans Land, guarding
a wounded marine, fighting an enemy
patrol. Two Germans fell, the rest
fed. The Gotham halter picked up
his comrade and hurried him to shell
ter.
For this they gave him the Distin-
guished Service Cross. 1t is the proud
est possession of Albert Meyer of the
Sixth Regiment of Marines, Seventy
ninth Company 1t occupies an even
higher place in his affections than the
Prussian helmet he took from a Hun
guardsman who tried to bayonet him.
There are some $4,000 of Liberty
Bonds in Albert Meyers family. There
will be some Victory Notes, too.

Bolshevism is not concerned over
the matter Of majority rule. Bolshe-
vism, Is, in fact, the gospel Of the rule
of a minority, the supremacy Of one
class over all others. For this reason
bolshevism is not at all friendly to
representative national assemblies
says Cleveland Plain Dealer. When
Lenine found himself confronted with
Q strongly anti-bolshevist Russian ma
tional assembly he followed the sim
pie course of marching his red guards
TO the assembly hall and abolishing
the assembly. Representatives who
protested were thrown into prison or
shot. Since then there has been no
attempt to hold national convention
In bolshevist Russia.

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN.

In England there are childless par
erts, because the enemy swooped
down upon little children sleeping or
at school and shattered their little
bodies.
In France, in Belgium, they did the
same. They took their homes, too.
They destroyed their gardens, they
stole what the people had worked for
and saved.
We had nothing like this over here
And yet are we going to be misers or
are we going to say:
after all, we didn't have to put up
with what they did-over there. Here,
Uncle Sam, here is our money. We
want to see our job through. Mary

In the Civil war the battle death
rate per thousand In the federal army
was SO, the disease death rate 65. In
the war with Spain the battle death
rate was per 1000, the disease death
rate 20 per 1000. In the present war,
In the American expeditionary forces,
the battle death rate was 81 per L.
600, the disease death rate IT per L.
900. These figures, based on official
reports, offer the best grounds for
comparison as regards the general
health Of the army and should be TAX
