Status of Situation.

This is the situation with regard TO
nittee: Senator John Walter Smith of
Maryland, the present chairman. will
cease to occupy that position when
the republicans organize the Sena tie
after March !, as they will do, unless
Henry Ford should win the election
contest he has brought against Tru-
man H. Newberry.
The ranking republican member of
the District committee is Senator Dill
bingham of Vermont. But he is also
ranking member of the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections
and the report is that the re-
publicans are insisting he take thai
chairmansh because of the important
election contest between Ford and
next session. and because of other
election contests which may be
started.
Senator Dillingham; was chairman of
the elections committee when the ia
nous Lorrimer investigation was on.
Lorrimer lost his seat. Senator Ken
yon of Iowa, who ranks next to Dill
bingham on the elections committee,
has voted with the democrats in favor
of the investigation CT the Newberl y
election.
Next to Senator Dillingham; OH the
District committee is Senator Jones of
Washington Senator Jones, however,
is in line for the Craftsmanship of the
Senate commerce committee, which
handles all the shipping legisla ton,
and for that reason probably VIII IN
sist upon that Craftsmanship, as he
comes from the coast.

great problem. Harold G. Moultor,
economist Of national fame, suggests
public works as one of-the leading
mediums for absorbing the influx Of
returned labor. Public, federal,
state and city projects, many OF
them deferred on account of the
war, if taken up at once, would
furnish millions of dollars worth OF
employment. The period OF transl-
ton from war activities to well
established peace industry is q pre-
carious one, and Mr.. Moulton's
pamphlet, Public Works or Public
Charity should be studied by every
state, county, city and town official.
These pamphlets may be secured
through the War Committee of The
Union League Club of Chicago. Mr.
Moulton concludes careful review
of the situation as follows:
In view of the established facts OF
our industrial experience and in
view of the grave possibility of de-
preston during the transitional era
indeed, | think one may say in
view of the facts of the immediate
situation-with industry everywhere
hesitant and unemployment already
rapidly increasing, isit not perfectly
plain that comprehensive program
of public works should be instituted
Just as soon as possible? If this
nation is not willing to heed the
simple lessons of the experience,
and if we are not disposed to seize
at once the opportunity to insure
ourselves against the dangers of the
transition, periods by establishing a
perfectly feasible program Of buffer
employment on public works, we
deserve to reap the whirlwind that

Badgers" and Suckers"

The Wisconsin Times, published
by the students at the State School
for the Deaf at Delevan, corrects a
popular erroneous belief regarding
the nickname of our State. The
origin, was not. on account of the
quadruped, but the through the
practice Of hardy miners W no came
here to burrow into the ground for
lead, and also through the fact that
instead of leaving here for the
winter months, they remained and
lived in "dugouts". Hence ethe
nickname Badgers. Other miners
who came here from Southern
illinois, went back there every
winter, and because this practise
was similar to that of the well
known fish of the Mississippi, Rock
and other Western streams, they
were called Suckers" and from
this came the nickname for Illinois.

The labor situation with which
this country is now confronted is

yet with the greatest of care. The

ConVicts Humanely Treated.

TIL" old bad business of forced labor
on the treadmill has gone out long
ago. and nowadays all prisoners are
set to useful work of some kind or
another, says the London Times. All
have a chance of learning a trade, If
they have not got one already, and the
better and more steadily they work
the higher they rise in the convict
scale. BY so rising they get better
food. better accommodation and more
privileges in the way of visits and let
ters. They may also obtain a remis-
sion equal to a quarter of their origi-
nal sentence. The whole system is in
every way more humane than for
merly, and in these days the idea of
the state is to reform criminal, not
to revenge itself upon him.

has been developed Independently in
two distinct bats, one native of Bra

the form of stalked discs attached to
the palms of the thumbs and the soles

Misdirected Zeal.

Occasionally you will find folks that
are over-charged with initiative. They
have mania for starting things that
never get finished. To them there is
JOY In the new thing, but the working
out of the details becomes burden,
And you will find folks who do things
without regard for consequences. The
mania for doing is all-possessing and
they leave reasons to others. These
are about as much real help to the
community as the man who needs "a
shadow" to tell him the next step.
They may be good people, but their
zeal does not always presage progress.
The redeeming fact about them is that
by giving them enough to do one can
usually keep them busy enough to keep
them within bounds.--EycI,:
