WHEN you see this famous
 trademark, think minute! Think of the delicious taste of slice of fresh toasted bread!
 That's the real idea back of the suc- cess of Lucky Strike cigarettes. Toast ing improves tobacco just as well as bread. And that's lot.
 The Burley tobacco used for the Lucky Strike cigarette is toasted to make it delicious in flavor.
 You can't get the toasted flavor in other cigarettes. It's your reason tor buying Lucky Strike. It's toasted.

The Blaine and Grant of 1920

In flight of high imagination
The SUMS Washington correspond
ent sees William G. McAdoo and A.
Mitchell Palmer playing in the next
Democratic National Convention the
spectacular roles played in the Re-
publican National Convention of
1880 by Ulysses S. Grant and James
G. Blaine. They are to be the two
towering rivals for the Presidential
nomination, whose evenly balanced
cohorts are to hold the convention
in deadlock for more than a week.
Also, if history repeats itself, they
are both to lose the prize, which will
go to clark horse" like Garfield,
who in 1880 publicly disclaimed
being candidate.
The parallel is interesting, but
fanciful. The Republican conven
tion Of 1880 marked the elimination
Of the long struggle for control of
the party between the so-called
"stalwart" and "half breed" fac
tions-the reactionaries, led by
Conkling, Cameron and the minor
bosses" on the one hand, and the
progressives, led by Blaine, on the
ether. 1t was contest which
stirred Republicans everywhere, and
which created broad cleavage be-
tween opposing ideas and groups.
A real political drama was staged
at Chicago in 1880.
But what genuine political emo
tions could be aroused by duel in
the next Democratic National Con-
vention between Mr.. Palmer and Mr..
McAdoo? They have both been
members Of the Wilson Cabinet.
Both are tarred with the bIunders
and failures Of wisconsin. What is
there to choose between them? Both
live dinly in reflected greatness.
Each comes from a strongly Repub-
lican Eastern state.

Neglected Fighters

The decentralization which is now
so manifest in the army is not due
solely to the wholesale demotion of
officers made necessary by the re-
duction of the regular army. 1t has
been caused chiefly by the feeling
that the officers who fought overseas
have been Disseminated against.
Demotion, it appears, has affected
the fighting officers much more
harshly than it has the officers who
remained at home.
Perhaps this is not to be won
dered at, since control of the ma
chinery Of the military establish
ment is in the hands of the officers
who stayed behind. Their influence
is all powerful with the Secretary
of War. The latter, in fact, has
almost slipped out Of notice in the
last year.
Discrimination against the fight
ing branch is deplorable. Yet, in
way, the fighters were discrimi-
mated against all through the war.
The War Department never seemed
to get a glimmer of the idea that
modern wars are fought not by
armies alone, but by entire nations.
All activities in war time become
military activities. Secretary Baker
couldn't see that. He fought per-
sistently against any extension of
the draft. He did what he could to
prevent the man power of the coun-
try being mobilized under military
direction. If such a mobilization
had been effected at the start, we
should, perhaps, have missed the
spectacle of men in one draft cate
gery being sent abroad to fight at
$35 month (time Of payment very
uncertain) and men in another
category being turned into industry
at So day.
1t was the same pathetic story.
Those who went to the front gave
up everything. Those who stayed
at home profted, in addition to
being sheltered.
The Governments failure to grasp
the first principle Of war as applied
to national effort also deranged
economics. 1t vastly increased the
cost of the war to everybody, and,
at the same time, it involved that
invidious discrimination against the
fighting man from which he still
suffers.
What we owe to the fighters
doesn't reach them. Others have
had the first call.

exclusive management Of foreign
affairs. Properly the. Senate will
not surrender it's prerogatives, and
naturally in the struggle against
one-manism the league of peace
idea has occasionally been in the
line Of fire.
The Tribune has favored league
Of peace. It has also favored pre-
serving to the people Of the United
States, as the Constitution pre-
scribes, control over foreign rela-
tions. The two principles are
altogether compatible. The hold
up of the treaty is due not to the
Presidents solicitude for league
of peace, but to his determination
to rule alone. When he is willing
to surrender with respect to the lat
ter point the treaty will be ratified,
and the way to assist in getting
it ratified is to refuse to support
him in his efforts to gain practically
unlimited power.
Our correspondent does not yet
see what the struggle is over, but
some day he will, and when he does
he will not attribute paytisanship or
narrowness to those who success
fully resisted action that would
mark a long step toward Mexican
izing our institutions.

pound. A typewriter is freighted
from New York to st. Louis for 66
cents. 1t still costs less to convey
an article across the continent than
from a New York terminal to a pri-
vate house., The new freight rates
have obviously contributed little to
the so per cent rise in living costs.
Even more instructive is the story
of developing efficiency when eff
cheney was permitted. In twenty
years ton-miles have grown 100 per
cent, passenger-miles 170 per cent,
the number of employees IS per
cent, output per worker go per cent
and the average trainload 1870 per
cent. Wages went up and rates
went down, or were kept down be-
cause of greater mechanical econ
omy. Since 1917, when the railroads
went under government control, the
transportation product per man has
decreased, in spite Of higher wages,
and so. inevitably, rates have gone
up. The law that when production
diminishes per man either wages or
consumers must pay the bill holds
true. Those who seek to lessen
product per worker level blow at
wages or at the consumer-often at
both.
How is progress to be resumed?
Only by improvements and by the
elimination of labor wastes. Other
wise the standard of living, so far
as transportation costs enter into it,
must fall.

tion this year which would be the
arena for a real combat between
rival elements in the Democratic or
ganization would be worth going
many miles to see. The Democratic
party is not yet moribund. But out
Of self-protection it must reorganize
now, as it reorganized at the end of
Cleveland's second term. To have
any hope Of success it must cut away
definitely from the Wilson tradition.
McAdoQ and Palmer are hardly
the protagonists to lead in such a
break-away. Against either or both
OF them some anti-Administration
aspirant must appear in order to
give historic consequence to the next
party gathering. Whoever may now
be the most active aspirants for the
Democratic nomination, the real
leaders in the convention-not nec-
essarily rivals-promise to be Champ
Clark and William J. Bryan.

On the Edge of Sahara

A few more such "dry" celebra-
tions, and those who specialize in
wetness would have need of no more
New Years. 1t never rains but it
pours might serve for the motto of
the night. Or, if that metaphor is
extravagant and unsuitable for a
people standing on the deserts edge,
the facts Of the occasion can be ex-
pressed by saying that the night
was generally hot and dry and
dusty, but that the oases never were
so moist.
The package system seems to have
been responsible for this flavor Of
the celebration. You either had
your package or you did not. If you
did not there was no hope-that
touching picture of hotel proprietors
crowding forward eagerly with arms
full of bottles to save their parched
patrons from cracking proved to be
true only in the headline sense. On
the other hand, if you did bring a
package, there was no halfway
measure conceivable. If every mem
Der of the party brought package
there was still no middle ground.
You could not take home half-sipped
nectar. Or at any rate you did not.
You stayed and drank it up, with re-
suits memorable in the history of
even New York's New Years Ewes.
That was, however, only on the
oases. The private dining-rooms,
the private homes, had nine-tenths
of the packages. For the rest of the
world, for the streets, for the gen
Ieral atmosphere Of the scene, it was
a new and strangely quiet occasion.
The coming drought sent its hot
breath upon the night, and New
York had very clear forerunner of
what effect prohibition will have
upon our historic occasions of carni-
val and cutting-up.
Was it likable, shall we approve
and applaud real dryness when it
completes it's reformation Of our
wild doings? Too soon to tell, would
be the prevailing view, we think.
There are sloppy, dull excesses that
never will be missed. Carnival is
not word properly applicable to
everything done in its name in New
York. So there will be some gain,
surely. AS for the losses, let other
New Years tell.

Books

One of the secrets Of the amazing
success of the Catholic army chaplains
IN France was the breadth of the SYM
pathy of these men. No one was outside
the pale of their interest and attention.
We find, for instance, in "Father Duffy's
Story" (Doran) an entire paragraph de-
voted to a dramatic critic.
I'm this sector" writes Father Duffy
IN describing one of the most hotly con-
tested points in the line, 1--WE had visit
from Sergeant Alexander Woollcott, who
is we'll known in New York as a dra-
matte critic, and who has been assigned
by G. Fl. Q. to the duty of reporter for
The Stars and Stripes He is always
on hand when there is trouble, and the
field of war becomes pleasant place
for me whenever he is there. We have
swapped stories and discussed men and
books in the weirdest places. He is
communicative rather than inquisitive,
and one never thinks Of him as a re-
porter, but he gets all the information
he wants and all the more effectively
because there is no appearance of seek
ing it,"
Sergeant Woollcotr is himself the au-
thor of a book called "The Command Is
Forward" and, although we cannot re-
member at the present moment, we sup
pose that, as the custom goes, there is
friendly paragraph some place or
other in his book for Father Duffy.
Books which amuse are welcome, but
we like better those volumes from which
one may derive instruction. Such book
which has just come to hand is called
"The A c of Etiquette" published
by G.. F. Harnden, Of Brighton, Eng
land. In it are such useful hints as
"The menu card should be glanced at:
not critically examined" and "Second
helpings of soup and fish are usually
declined" Of course, the latter is a
little indefinite, For our part we should
prefer to know under what circum-
stances they may be accepted.
However, in spite of its wealth of de-
tail about social custom, the book indi-
Gates that there are moments when the
most unconventional conduct is permis-
sible. Thus we find, "Gentemen talk
to one another without introduction
after the ladies have left the dinner
table"
Recently we expressed the opinion
that Of all the characters in modern tic
ton we thought Lena Lingard, of Villa
Sibert Gathers "My Antonia," would be
the most stimulating person to take to
the theater, because, according to the hero
Of the book. II used to watch play with
Lena. Everything was wonderful to
her, and everything was true. 1t was
like going to revival meeting with
some one who was always being con-
vertcd."
Houghton Mifflin. the publishers of
"My Antonia," have looked into the
matter more closely and offer some
other observations on the theatrical con-
duct of Miss Lingard which do not seem
so enticing.
"When the young man of the story
took Lena to the theater," writes the
publishers, che left her, after the second
act, in fearful contemplation Of the
ceiling and went out into the lobby to
smoke. Through the next sccne Lena
'wept unceasingly.' When the play
