Il am writing this during a recess
OF one hour and half and will ap-
pear before the commission again at
1880 this afternoon, no doubt for the
remainder Of the day. 1 came to my
9ffice to attend to some important
matters which brooked no delay and
wrote this while here.
Have Same Aspirations.
MY mind appears to be as alert
as ever and my unremitting activity
for labor has the benefit of the light
OF seventy years of experience, and
SO far as the same hopes and aspira-
tons that animated me in youth are
concerned. have lost none of them.
We do not grow old except as we
permit advancing years to cause us
worry. The question of age never
occurs to me, nor does 1t give me
worry. Neither does the end of things
here. I simply accept the added years
as a matter of course and think no
more about them.
my life has been most irregular

set aside an hour to sleep. L ate when
could and slept when I could. The
only influence that governed my meals
and sleeping was my work.
Work Greatest Medicine.
my work. by the way. takes my
entire time while awake. 1 believe
that work is the greatest medicine
known to man. 1t keeps us young in
years if we think more of others than
ourselves. 1t is an invigorator, and
incentive to greater things.
Association with people. young and
old, has been an obsession with me.
There are no ideas Of youth that can
not be considered with profit, even if
not accepted after analysis. But con-
sideration of them tends to keep those
growing old from assuming they pos
sess infalllble wisdom
THE ideas of youth with the wis
dom that should come with age are
helpful. II a man is as old as he feels,
am not over forty. And the desire
to be helpful to my fellows. to do
something worth while for my people
and my country is an inspiration that
keeps me young both in mind and
body"

As to That Referendum.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has sympathy with
the Presidents suggestion OF a referendum. "To
defer the ratification of the treaty until November
biliy Of its rejection in popular plebiscite, and
last but not least to make political football of the
weightest and most solemn undertaking in which
the United States ever has engaged is repugnant to
every thoughtful citizen Of the Republic" The
Memphis Commercial Appeal stands by the Presi-
dent. but admits that 'his suggestion that the
treaty go before the American people is difficult to
carry out The San Francisco Bulletin thinks
that neither the Republican nor the Democratic
party can afford to make the league an issue Of
the next election" AS for Mr. Bryan-he may
have made Wilson, but having made him he can
not unmake him. 1t was the only good job he did
and he did not intend to do it. If he had he would
have failed" The Bulletin construes Mr.. Bryans
attitude TO be prompted by desire to cut the heart
this. together with the Presidents threat of. a
referendum" may have the effect of Fastening a
compromise and speeding ratification. The st.
Louis Post Dispatch stands by the President. but
adds I've agree with Mr. Bryan that the treaty
ought to be ratified at once and that it would be
calamity TO delay it until the next election forces
the issue before tho people
The Brooklyn Eagle hasn't often said "Nfr. Bryan
is right" but it says that now "Afr: Bryan" it
adds, has not only sensed more accurately than
Mr. Wilson the temper of the country but he has
more accurately sensed the temper of the Demo
cratic party"

The new army bill proposed to the Senate puts
at the head of the army the man who made good
in France This is obviously the right thing to do.
To make the former generalissimo subordinate to
an office general would be absurd.
Other reasons than the proprieties constrain the
country to desire the placing of General Pershing
in power. He made himself famous in France for
his ruthless wedding out of the unfit. He was
not interested in officers political pull, but only
in his military efficiency.
1t is reasonable to suppose that General Per-
shing would follow the same course in Washing
ton if he had the power. Chair-warming bureau
Gratis, clerkly minded brigadiers and colonels and
all the worshippers at the shrine of precedent and
etiquette would quickly be sent out to be cured by

straning hand Of Washington red-tapeism upon
him in France Now may come his opportunity to
rid all his successors and associates Of this same

WILL SAVE MILLIONS
BY NATIONAL BUDGET SYSTEM
IN CONGRESS, SAYS JOHN T. PRATT
Citizens Urged to Support Bill Now Before Legislators Great
ing Bureau to Eliminate Waste in Government De-
partments' Appropriations

tered in the task Of arousng the people of
the country to the necessity for budget
at Washington is that the opposition to it
is almost negligible. The great danger
is that, budget measure having been
passed, good citizens will sit back and say,
well. that jobs over. What comes next?'
Good citizens, you can't do that. You
must not do it. You haven't really got a
budget until you have system providing
one that is as nearly perfect as intelligence
and scientific study can make it.
The definite duty that lies Immediately
ahead. is for those men and women who
are interested in the budget idea to watch
and study the figures presented by the sew
eral branches of the government and to let
their Representatives in Congress know
their wishes regarding these items The ap-
preparations asked for in the Book of
Estimates, both from the executive and
legislative branches, should be scanned
with precise care and the Congress should
be apprised, Enthusiastically. of the senti-
ment of the country upon them. This is
one way of checking up upon Uncle Sam S
pocketbook and your own.

KEEP YOUR GOVERNMENT BONDS.

Mr.. Herbert ID. Brown chief Of the United States
Bureau Of Efficiency, makes the startling an
nouncement that owners of Liberty and Victory
bonds of small denominations have been disposing
of them at the rate of from S1OOO0OO0 to $500
600 day. How long this has been going he
does not say, but sufficiently long to alarm the
government In almost every instance, says Mr..
Brown. the bonds are disposed Of mt considerable
discount Whatever the reason may be for thus
dsposing of government securities it is not good
sign.
Liberty and Victory bonds were sold to the
masses OF the people not only to obtain the largest
possible amount of money but to create patriotic
sentiment among all classes A financial interest
in the affairs OF the government, no matter how
small, is more than likely to make better and
more loyal citizen out Of the purchaser Of the evf
dence of that interest These sales tend to create
n public distrust if not an additional desire to un-
load. When purchasers of $50 and 500 bonds find
they will bring only $42 and $685. respectively, there
is bound to be disappointment IL not disgust.
TO overcome this situation the government plans
a system of lending on these bonds through the
postal savings department whereby the owner of
a bond may borrow money at a low rate Of interest
with the privilege or redemption limited by the
maturity OF the bond II is expected that this will
tend TO stabilize the price Of bonds and check the
disposal OF them to speCulators

IN THE SOUTH ALSO.

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
Have read Mr.. Matthews letter to the
HERALD, writing from California. inviting
the Eastern ladies to 'go West" While
I am glad to know that the Eastern ladies
are so popular in the great West, I also
feel that the East and Southeast also
have claims pressing for consideration.
The ladies will save much valuable time
by coming South and also find many.

This is leap year. YOU know, and I am
wondering whether the ladies will take
advantage Of their privileges and make
hay while the sun Shines"
Methinks that we men will have to
watch our steps and brush off all the cob
webs in order TO keep up with the pro-
gressive women of today. 1t behooves us
not only to be 100 per cent i'm business.
but also to show intellectual and spiritual
qualities. We must also know and under
stand something about music, art and all
the finer things of life in order properly
to appeal to these women who are on .
much higher plane than formerly.

AMERICANS ON GUARD.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Permit me to congratulate you on the
fine and very timely editorial, 'Treacher-
Gus Innuendo," which, like those on the
same subject that appeared in your paper
from time to time ever since the war
began, plainly indicates that the author
knows what he is writing about.
What could be more feasible and less
expensive for the attainment of the great
and very necessary object aimed at than
the appointing of an adequate number of
"one hundred per cent Americans" in
every election district with legal power to
visit and inspect every habtation in said
districts from cellar to roof and to oblige
every adult man and woman, native or
foreign born, citizen or alien to sign
voucher, under oath, mot to do, or allow
others to do. within their knowledge, any,
thing directly or indirectly calculated to
render those laws imperative without
which our government could not long sur
vive," with the knowledge that to violate
the obligations demanded by said vouchers
would mean disfranchisement, the jail or
deportation, as the case might demand?

John B. Tells Dry Leaders Prohibition
Is Causing Spread of BolSlevism
in the United States.

To THE EprToR OF THE HERALD
There are many theories being advanced
as to the cause OF the spread of Bolshev-
doubt just as many remedies being adj
vocated. but there is one cause, in my
opinion, that takes precedence over all
others. and that is prohibition.
When Russia prohibited vodka there
was great rejoicing in this country by the
prohibitionists. Are they pointing with
PRIDE to Russia to-day? Can they say
that prohibition was not the 'last straw
of abuse forced on a long suffering people
who had little else in life but the small
amount OF pleasure they took in their
vodka? While they had it they were con-
tended, but when it was taken away-welI.
the whole world knows the result.
l had conversation with a man re-
Gently who from the minute Theodore
Roosevelt advocated this country doing
It's duty and entering the war on the side
of the Allies followed him blindly and did
his "bt' in every way possible AS he
was married and outside the draft age
and his financial condition would not per-
NIT him to enlist, he subscribed for Lib
erty bonds joined the Red Cross and
kindred organizations; in fact, did every
thing possible within his limited means
to help this country win the war. Now
you will ask, what has this to do with
prohibition? Just this
He has always been moderate drinker:
is one of the most respected citizens in
the community where he resides and has
never made a secret of the fact that he
drinks when he wants to; has never gone
in ''side DOORS" and when he wanted a
case of beer or ale he had it delivered in
the daytime in full view of all his neigh
bors. This man is natural born citizen
and a voter and in my opinion 100 per cent
American-and yet he says when he, who
never made pig of himself when he
drank thinks of the injustice of absolute
prohibition he feels like becoming a Boil
shevist!
There must be something radically
wrong with law that makes good, law
abiding American citizen feel this way!
In conclusion l would like to say that
the prohibitionists are always telling us
how many people whiskey has killed Gn-
cldentally, l would like to ask If the
figures they give out have ever been veri-
fiedO. but they never tell us how many
lives whiskey has saved! Ordinarily
think it saves more than it kills. and in
extraordinary times like the "flu" epi-
demic last year, for instance, think ten
times as many lives were saved by
whiskey as were killed by whiskey in
the last ten years.
Absolute, bone-dry prohibition undoubt-
edly will keep this country in a grave
state Of unrest and there is no reason why
a great big, strong, healthy land like this
should not have regulation instead Of pro.
hibition. John r

THE RAILROADS AND THE SAVINGS BANKS

1t should be made clear to all persons who have

DEMOCRATIC PRESS ON THE BIG SPLIT.

In the past it has been the habit of Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan to boast that long as he had the
country press of his party with him he did not
care how the city newspapers stood. 1t remains
to be seen whether the fact that many of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers approve the stand ne
has taken will make him dubious concerning the
soundness of his position For some Of the Demo-
cratic organs which have been least friendly to
him and most friendly to President Wilson are
taking the Bryan end of the treaty argument. Not
the Louisville CourierJoHrnal, which "sees red''
whenever the Nebraskan trots upon the stage and
construes the Jackson Day trotting as having no
other Importance than opening way for a new
lease on the Chautauqua stage. ''Mr. Bryan de-
clares this leading exponent oS Kentucky opinion,
Cannot split the Democratic party if he is no
longer real leader of the party" On the other
hand, the Cleveland Plain Dealer holds that Mr..
Bryan rather than the President, has made the
more accurate appraisal of the treaty situation in
the Senate. ",Hhe Nebraskan," it explains, has
sensed the impossibility of forcing hostile ma
jority to do the bidding of minority. He realizes
the futility of continued deadlock. He does not
believe that the question of Americas particpa-
ton in the League of Nations could be satsfactor
lily settled at the polls in Presidential election.
The Plain Dealer has urged all these points repeat
edly. We have not changed our position"
The Philadelphia Record cannot believe that
any very large proportion Of Democrats will elect to
march under the white flag" explaining that in it's
opinion this is not the Bryan who swayed the
Baltimore Convention in 1912; this is the Bryan
who split with the President on the issue of up
holding American rights contested by Germany
The Richmond Times-Despatch describes Mr..
Bryan's attitude a surrender to the inevitable,
"but there is sound logic in his views" The issue
raised by the conflict between Mr. Bryan and the
President "may have to be decided one way the
other in the naming Of the partys candidate for the
Presidency. 1t will not await the polls. 1t be
delayed no longer than convention day" The Bati-
more Sun processes to believe that no impasse has
been reached yet Not until the Senatorial dead
lock becomes unquestionably unbreakable or until
the President refuses to proclaim treaty which
has been ratified by the Senate is there need of
talk Of a referendum.

LOSS" OF LIQUOR DEALERS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Are the vets worrying over the loss
of their stocks or because they have
missed an opportunity for profiteringf
The Supreme Court pointed out that there
was no "confiscation' of wet goods. since
the liquor interests had other ways of dis
posing of their stocks. and also that
reasonable time had been given for such
disposal. What is troubling them is that
they have been deprived of dsposing OF
their stocks at greatly inflated prices In
the last hours of an outlawed business.
The eyes of the public are at last open
to the cupidity of business which has
ruined itself through its greed A long
suffering public has had it's patience suf-
ficiently tested by other forms OF profi-
teering without having to endure also the
liuuor profiteers. Mrs. r. M.
