New Members From Africa Have
Names That Are Tongue -Twlsters

If the assessors Of voters would talk
to c. Emerson Brown, superintendent
Of the zoo, perhaps they would realize
that theirs was sinecure. At least
that Is what Mr.. Brown said yesterday
while he was registering and cataloging
the collection of animals just received
from Africa. Think of juggling names
lake papio rhodesiae, CAMS mesomelas
and haliactus bicifcr.
Several rare specimens were included
in the collection. A rhodesian baboon
was brought by DR.. A. X. Haagner,
director of the National Geological
Garden of Pretoria. South Africa. This
is new species of baboon discovered
by Doctor Haagner in Umtnli. South
Rhodesia. He brought three specimens
with him for the Philadelphia, New
York and Washington ZOOS. The Rho
desian baboon is cross between q
Chacma and yellow baboon.

any further advances from the farm

Attention to this situation was
called by DR.. A. i. Woods, president
of the Maryland State Agricultural
College, who declared IL TO be as
equally serious from the farmers
standpoint as the present acute short
age OF farm labor.
The litigation before the court was
brought at the instance OF the Farm

"The last sale of farm loan bonds

Many Country Papers Suspend.

In an article on Newspaper Mortality" the
Boston News Bureau says:
The narrow margin of profit which exists
in the newspaper business between publishing
cost and selling price has been wiped out in
very large number of cases by the steady
upward trend of contract prices for newsprnt.
Many publications are now retailing on the
streets for very nearly the cost of the blank
paper on which they printed
Naturally this rising tide has caught and
drowned many publishers who were not
strong enough either to climb above it by
raising their prices, or to keep themselves
ahoat on the earnings of more profitable years
in the past.
THE magnitude of this foodtide and the
number of its victims is indicated by the de-
cline in registrations OF second class publica-
tons with the postofhce department.
THE full measure of discrimination of es-
tablished publications is contained in the fig
ures of Messrs. Aver & Son, of Philadelphia,
Their compilations show the following sus-
pensions, net listings and net losses for three
years:
Publications suspended-19l9, 1885, 1918,
1884; 1917, l,659, New publications listed
1919, 1,143; 1918, US; 1917, 1,043. Net loss
1919, 90 1918, 1873; 1917, 6l6.
Only few of the large metropolitan
dailies have their own print mills only the
largest ublications-relatively few in NUM-.
ber-contract direct with producing comPa-
MES for their supplies at contract prices.
THE greater number OF publications get
their newsprnt through jobbers, and some Of
them do not even have contracts These are
the consumers whose need drives them to pay
spot" prices for ewsprint-sometimes as
high as II and IS cents pound. A few years
ago newsprnt sold under 3 cents pound.

IF A DREAM COMES TRUE.

The straw stack on the farm may prove
to be the solution for the increasing short
age of gasoline. In Kansas, where straw
stacks grow in greater profusion than else
where in this land, government chemists are
conducting experiments in the distillation of
wheat straw into fuel suitable for heating
lighting and driving internal combustion en-
gines. 1t has been demonstrated, according
to reports given out, that one ton of straw
will produce 40 gallons of fuel. On the basis
of the estimate of this years crop of straw
there is enough in Kansas alone to produce
45,OOO,000 gallons, and the Sunflower state is
but one in galaxy of states that grow wheat
in somewhat lesser quantities.
1t is the dream of the chemists that the
day will dawn when the Kansas farmer will
have his own still to turn his straw. now
valueless, into fuel to drive his sedan. The
straw stack, as the Shreveport Times OBJ
serves, provided the fodder for the yoke OF
oxen, the motive power of an earlier day
and In harmony with progress it is fitting
that should feed the modern method of loco
motion.

A Reckless Pace.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Consider the changes that five years have
wrought In the year 1915 the American gov
eminent appropriated SOL 019,212 for the up
keep of its army and $ll4,868716 for its navy.
These sums were the largest that the country
had known up to that time. For the coming
fiscal year, after the expenditures of a war
whose effects will be felt for generations to
come the nation is asked to give the war de-
partment 5000, 2755O2, and the navy depart
ment $658, 522, 231, exclusive of the fortifiCa-
tions and the military academy bills. Doubt
less a comparison on strict money basis be-
tween the two appropriation groups is unfair
because of the huge decline in the purchasing
power of money in the intervening period.
Assuming, however, that all costs entering into
the two branches OF the services are twice as
high now as they were five years ago, it re-
mains true that the army and navy want the
country to give them control over three times
as much money as they were granted at the
former period.
OF course, congress is not going to appro-
pirate these sums, despite the powerful mill
tary influence in both wings of the capitol;
but the significant point remains that under
the 9gis OF government within the inner Cita-
del of the administration, there is an insistent
will to force these huge expenditures on the
country. In the new administration that will
soon assume the reins an even more nsistent
and stronger will may be displayed, for it may
be taken for granted that all the great man
ufacturng interests involved in the selling of
armor and munitions to the government are
to be given somewhat freer scope under a
republican regime.
An aroused public conscience that will exert
vital pressure congress, sharp searching
and dissection of the real military program
would appear to be almost necessary for the
public safety. If the nation is within the
penumbra of new and perhaps more terrible
war for the protection of its rights it ought
to know it. Otherwise it presents the anon
alous and unenviable spectacle of entering into
the race for armament when the world is
slowly but surely turning away from this
breeding competition and of being prey
ed upon by forces which have been curbed
even in Prussia, which, as Napoleon said, was
matched out of a cannon ball"

CI ASS I.ECISL ALTON.

Washington politicians and newspaper cor
respondents who claim pending legislation 1or
the relief Of the farmer is class Legislation are
not experts in the definition OF such laws.
Fnacting a law which benefits all who are
under il or may place themselves under its
provisions is not class legislation. The Adam
son law and the exemption OF labor unions
from the provisions OF the antitrust laws
commonly known as the Clayton law, are
strictly class legislation. The author OF one OF
these laws is a Georgian and OF the other an
Albanian.
Creating a market by providing special
trade opportunities and privileges abroad is
not class legislation because the opportunities
if created would be available for all classes.
If credit for trade in Europe is provided the
manufacturer may take advantage OF 1t the
same as the farmer. Because the economic
conditions are such that there would be big
ger demand for farm products than for steel
and shoes and automobiles does not make the
law so enacted class legislation in the inter-
est of the farmer. The other industries would
benefit by the law if they had any market.
The protest against the pending legislation
is that it singles out a special class of citizens
and proposes to benefit them at the expense OF
the rest. The president in his last message
to congress urged the enactment of tariff
law to protect dyestutf manufacturers That
in a sense is class legislation. But it is no
more so than every tariff law put on the
statute books. Every schedule, every item,
in these laws is halfway class legislation for
the advantage of those engaged in that indus
try Yet they are not class legislation, such
as the Adamson and the Clayton laws are.
