recognize the application Of modern
business methods in any institution,
and the church has long been opened
to the criticism that it did not use
common horse sense or good judg-
ment in the handling Of its affairs.
Three hundred thirty-six million
dollars is not an impossible sum for
the churches to raise, and yet we have
the assurance Of the Interchurch
World Movement that if this amount
and similar amount can be raised
every year for five years, things can
be accomplished in Christian service
to the whole world that now seem un-
believeable. And not the least thing
about this campaign is that it saves
us some 80 or 81 national drives that
would otherwise be upon us.

Caught on the Wing

And now the President wants q
democratic platform which will sing
praises to his administration. Nero,
wanted the same little attentions only
he used fiddle to accomplish his
means.
The wearing of overalls and calico
dresses in protest against the high
cost of clothing, is the latest plan to
break the high cost Of living. Dame
Fashion might out-do even this by
designing a modern and nifty fig
leaf.
Miss Florence Walton, dancer, is
said to pay at least Sc to SO for her
shoes. At first blush this may all
sound like extravaganza, but Florence
is dancer and consequently these
expensive luxuries can be convenient
ly aired.
That new "Civil War;" in Mexico
is said to be causing Washington
some concern. That is too bad; it is
a crime to disturb Washington with
these petty troubles at home while it
is required to give its undivided at
tention just at present to poor down
trodden Europe.
Mexico has asked permission to
send troops through American terri
tory to attack the renegade state Of
Sonora. Germany asked that same
favor of Belgium once and now just
look at her.
Little Mary Picford is sure get
ting picked on. If the courts should
decide to set aside her late divorce
little Gladys will find that even a
screen heroine must obey the law.
Elect Wilson and "Save," the peace
treaty, is the latest burlesque staged

CONGRESS INVESTIGATES

The investigation by congress OF
the various angles of the allowing of
contracts by the War Department for
the construction of cantonment camps
bids fair to prove a juicy morsel for
the scandal loving public.
Already threats of Impeachment
are lowering over the heads of sew
eral of the "near-heads," of the var
ious departments Of the administra-
tion. This attitude has leanings too,
it is said, toward the White House.
Information given the public to
date is to the effect that in most
every instance there was heap of al
lodged grating carried on by some
body. Whether knowledge of these
conditions was in the hands of the de-
partment heads or even the White
House, of course, will never be known,
but nevertheless, the administration
itself is responsible. General lack of
efficiency has been the watch-word of
the whole scheme of things down at
Washington. America is doing
little watchful waiting on its own
hook right now. Watchfully waiting
for the downfall of the poorest adj
ministration in the history of this
nation.

TALKING TO MARS

The American government has
sanctioned an attempt now being
made at Fort Omaha by army air
service men to "talk to Mars" OF
course in the early stages Of the ex-
pertinent, astronomers do not expect
to carry on lengthy conversation
with the people Of the other planet,
but an attempt will be made to just
'listen in," with q high-powered
wireless outfit. 'l;A'ass
That there is life on Mars has been
an established fact for some time. The
question now arises as to whether OF
not human beings exist on Mars and
the state of their intelligence.
With modern invention making the
strides that it has in the past decade,
the fact that conversation with Mars
may at some time be made possible,
is not at all improbable.
In the future we presume a "trip to
Mars" will be as popular as "going

THE NEW BONUS BILL

The new soldiers bonus bill as re
commended for passage, may not be
letter perfect, but it has a number Of
good qualifications.
The Herald does not agree with
the bill eliminating officers from the
bonus. Tt feels that the officers as
loyal and faithful soldiers are entitl-
ed to this compensation, especially in
view of the expenses they were re-
quired to meet during their period of
service. '.&33
But the clause eliminating the men
who were assigned to ship-yard work;
men who received extra compensation
for this work, is well. Many Of this
class received better pay during the
war than they ever did in civil life
they took no risk, and were granted
privileges unknown to the soldier.
In all probability, the bill as re-
commended will never be passed by
congress. The American Legion, in
stigator of the bill, will see to it that
the officers are taken care of. But
a discussion of the various phases of
the bill will go a long ways toward
clarifying conditions.

A WORTHY MOVEMENT

The Interchurch World Movement
is using Wartime methods in going
after 1886 million dollars for the adj
vancement of Christian work Cam
paigns start April rs and ends May
90.
The theory seems to be that relig-
ious interest should be able to do what
patriotism did during the war. This
is distinct challenge to the people
of this country, and it would not be
surprising if the challenge were met
in the way Of taking away the breath
of the average church.
Business men all over the country
are using Christian principles in all
business, and find it pays, and the
chances are they will find that a
little investment in the advancement
of these Christian principles, in this
and every country, will pay equally
