Tipped OF the Booze Crowd.


In the national administration are
friends of the rum crowd. We do
not know who they are, nor do we
care, but evidence is sufficient to
prove the fact.
How do We know" Well, the
booze men were given a tip the day
before the Presidents message was
given TO Congress. that the President
would give them six months more OF
booze profits. at least on beer and
wine. Makers. sellers and barmen
were spreading the glad tiding long
before Congress got the news.
Liquor dealers and saloon keepers
allowed those who inquired to infer
that the word came from Secretary
Tumulty-the Philadelphia North
American remarks of him: long
the friend of the liquor interests, and
who has been one Of their chief
hopes ever since he served in the
senate Of New Jersey"
The rejoicing among booze inter-
ests was country wide the night be-
fore the Presidents message went to
Congress. Bartenders were cele-
brating by greeting customers with,
Have one on the house"
What is the answer? Will Con-
gress ratify the administrations
promise?

The Return Of the First Division.
Lewiston Journal.D

Lewiston Journa!.)
There is one division OF our American
Armies tina, was the first 10 60 and the
las, to return-the First Division, now
on German soil and not likely to return
10 America Until, the latter part O. July.
Its orders home being indicated for
about July lst.
This division is peculiar in one re-
spe,t-.t has TO special State or Section
Of America 10 do 1t honor. And the
reason for this IS that j, was made up
wholly Of enlisted men. from every part
Of the Union. Many OF Them are col

iege men wEo gave up Their all and toon
over the cause Of the Allies on, of I'M

public notice to any great degree. To
he sure il has received great attention
from MAJOR Palmer, the eminent war
correspondent who has said wonderful

limelight because il has not reached

welcome 1t is not unnatural that these
boys should like the we!come-home that
has been accorded TO others. II is ali
that they do get. But WHO will bear the
cost and the work Of preparation for
fitting reception?
There is only one answer i seems 10
Us. This Division should be paraded in
Washington. Nearly every member of
Congress has boys from his own State
in this Division. The Nation could well
make it a separate and distinct duty 20
receive these gallant troops and sucn
others as return after the close of the
war, at the Nations capitol, the same
as the Civil war troops marched in

Both Sides Need information.

The President admits that he does
not know enough about American
affairs to make recommendation to
Congress-having been absent so
long. And Congress knows as little
about the peace treaty which the
Senate is expected to ratify.
Now if the President had remained
at home in touch with the burdens
and desires of the people who elected
him. and the Senate had been per-
mitted one or more representatives
at the peace conference. America
would have been in better position
al around.
