untold millions have delighted in ice cream soda
1t was a small thing. but 1t struck the public taste
just where it was vulnerable. Millions have been made
as the result of that simple experiment. So important
did the discovery seem to this man that he directed in
his viii that his tombstone should bear the inscription
Originator OF ice cream soda"
Neither peanuts nor ice cream soda are necessities
of life. 1t IS true the former has entered somewhat in
to staple food products. but the bulk of the crop goes
into small bags to be eaten at odd moments, while the
latter is a luxury that offers refreshment on a warm
day. Both are small things measured in the abstract.
but many a mickle makes a muckle' and many sacks
of peanuts and many glasses of ice cream soda in the
aggregate total huge sums. For who hath despised
the day of small things" may have lost a fortune there
by.

DEspIsE NOT SMALL THINGS.

'For.who has despised the day of small things"
was a query put long ago. Small things may have been
little considered once. but small things are now recog-
nized as involving the possibility of becoming big
things. The peanut has been considered as emblematic
of smallathings. 1t is often used thus metaphoricaly,
but some. recent figures show that in the aggregate the
peanut crop is neither small in quantity nor of slight
value In, the bulk.
To one whose knowledge OF peanuts is confined to
sight OF them on the street vendors stand where a bag
used 70 sell for a nickel. the business of growing them
might seem to be OF slight extent or importance. or
course. a nickel does not buy many of them now, neither
does 1t buy much sof anything else. But the growing
of peanuts is not a peanut" business in size though
if Is so literally. Down South wher they raise them
they raise them they are called "goobers,' but a peanut
is q peanut by whatever name it Is known. The farm
value of last years crops was estimated as totaling over
s79. 100000 What consumers paid for them when hand
ed out in small bags would multiply the original cost
several times
Nearly 1000, 900 acres are ordinarily devoted to
this crop, a showing of area as well as dollars. It is
only for the last so years that the peanut has been
grown commercially. 1t IS not to be despised as a
small thing.

DREAMING

From Cox headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, comes
the following: tom Taggart made the public predic-
ton at South Bend that Indianas electoral vote would
be found this fall in the Democratic chairman" The
day before the election of 1904, Mr.. Taggart, then
Democratic national chairman, issued a prediction that
Parker would carry Indiana by a huge plurality. Roose-
veIt's plurality was nearly 100. 900 in a state that had
never before been carried by any political party by
more than $4,000. If this is a fair sample of the dope"
on which the Cox management is working itself into
q hope of victory. 1t is evident there is going to be q
rude awakening of the dreams thus produced. on cleo

CHOOSING A MATE.

OOO44 n 4AA6.
The report published by the Ohio State University
Alumni Association of the findings of the men and wo
men students of sociology in the university as to what
are the essentials of a happy marriage makes interest
ing reading Persons seeking mates may find it pro-
liable to study the report because of the light which
it throws on what the opposite sex regards as desirable
qualities in a husband or wife. There will be consol-
alton in IT for some because of the low value placed on
qualities in which they are deficient.
Wealth and fame, for example. are cIassed as non
essentials. The women demand. however. for example,
that their husbands shall be good providers and pre-
fer that they should be engaged In business rather than
follow other occupations. The men almost unanimously
emphasize the desirability of wives who are capable
of supporting themselves; they also want good house
keepers. who can care for and train children. The wo-
men assert that it is essential that the ideal husband
should be a comrade; but the men do not consider it
hand the men place more stress on the desirabllity OF
keenness in their mates than the women do. Both
sexes declare affection, intelligence and desire for and
love of children are Indispensable.
Physical attractiveness in both sexes is classed as
most desirable. but neither places more than moderate
value on facial beauty. To insure happy marriage hus-
band and wife should be OF the same race. sound family
stock and good health, the report declares. Nearness
Of age is not essential. but of high value. Nearness of
height and weight are matters of slight Importance.
Both parties should have the same degree of education.
Almost total indifference is shown to such social
accomplishments as dancing and card playing, and both
sexes rank appreciation OF music higher than appre-
citation of literature or art.
Probably most persons will agree that the findings
are marked by common sense. These are the views.
however, of married persons. The opinions Of persons
who have experienced wedlock might be more val
liable.

The Brotherhood of Man.

International brotherhood, as developed by
the League of Nations, is not increasing in an
impressive degree. Italian statesmen are said
to regard "iniquity" and "Americanism" as
synonymous. President Wilson declares France
is in control of militarists. France retorts that
the president is "impudent" and that "it is dan
gerous to allow this sick man to continue to dis
turb the worlds tranquility by his intolerant
and tempestuous wanderings." In the English
parliament "pious America" was contemptu-
Gus recent utterancc. The president accuses the
Italians of being outrageously imperialistic; and
so it goes.
But let US not be discouraged. All these un-
kind words come from failure on the part of
Europe to grasp the Wilsonan idea of inter-
national brotherhood which is that it is that
perfect state of amity in which all the nations
of the earth shall unite in trusting obedience
and loving submission to the dictates of Mr..
Wilson. Then only will come to pass the glad
saying which is written: "On earth peace, good
will toward men,"

Women and the Probation Officer.

An indignation meeting of women has de-
manded the removal of the adult probation of
fcer. His offense is that he recommended for
pardon man who had been convicted of as
sault and battery against girl, the charge hav-
ing been changed from greater. In order to
carry out the maneuver, the officer is said to
have misrepresented the facts to the governor;
he admits that he moved without consulting
the county attorney. The governor also acted
without taking advice from the attorneys Of
fee. That the case was peculiarly aggravated
one has probably secured it attention it might
not have received otherwise, but this should
not influence judgment as to the principle in
volved. Mercy is not to be denied any, nor is
it we'll TO narrowly limit the executives author
ity to exert clemency in his judgment. But the
public has some rights and these should be
respected as we'll as the private feelings of per-
sons convicted. Pardons or paroles ought never
to be granted without the knowledge of the
prosecuting officers; in this case, as in some
others, the proceedings were carried with
such secrecy would arouse the suspicion of
ordinary mortals. The offending probation Of
hcer has been sharply and deservedly rebuked
by the judges of the district court, but declares
he will not resign. The women whose sense Of
right and justice has been SO completely out
ragged are not likely to let the matter rest on
the decision of the culprit

Frank Hitchcock's Methods.

By the selection of Frank Hitchcock as his
campaign manager General Wood makes 1t clear
that he is not to be deferred il. his pursuit OF
the nomination by an undue sense OF the NICE
ties of campaigning Frank Hitchcock is busi-
ness man!
Mr.. William G. McAdoo has refused to allow
his name to head propaganda for delegates to
place him in nomination for the presidency ne
says substantially in this respect that if the
democratic party wishes to make him ITS can
didate he would of course accept the nomina-
ton, but that he will not be party to the
ancient methods of compelling his own nomina-
ton. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, Mr.. Hoover
and Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts, take
similar position with respect to themselves.
We had hoped that General Wood would
come to view this question of the nomination
for the presidency rs McAdoo Butler, Hoover
and Coolidge view it, and would therefore
eliminate himself from all propaganda making
for his own nomination. But his appointment OF
pels all such hopes. The Hitchcock methods
are we'll known to all observers of political
manipulation. Hitchcock goes out for the dele
gates, and, with the delegates committed, it
there be enough of them and if they stay put,
the candidate is nominated before the national
convention meets.
This newspaper has no sympathy with this
sort of thing and has been obecting to it for
months. 1t is archaic, unsound and opposed to
the best interests of the country.
The foregoing must not be taken to mean
that we are opposed to General Wood. We are
opposed to his propaganda methods, that's all.
We are equally opposed to similar propaganda
in the interest of any other candidate or candl-
dates. We contend for an open convention. We
| oppose and condemn the practice of forcing
propaganda-made candidate upon conven-
| ton. We do not disapprove states presenting
| favorite sons to the convention. This is one
| way of securing an open conventln.-New York

Congress and the Naval Program.

Defeat of considerable portion of the
Daniels naval program by the house committee
on naval affairs does not signify that the Pacific
coast is to be left defenseless. This may be
accepted as settled.
1t has been matter OF common knowledge
for long time that the west coast of our
country is not properly equipped for naval pur
poses. Not only are bases lacking, but those
that do exist are inadequate and in some
respects obsolete. Between the southern en-
trance to the Canal Zone and the Puget Sound
navy yard we have place to dock or repair
frst-class battleship. San Diego Los An
geles Monterey, San Francisco and Portland
all are clamoring for recognition. 1t is not easy
to distinguish choose between these, save
for strategic advantage San Diego is more
accessible, perhaps, as a factor in the problem
of ddfense; San Francisco and Portland each
have the advantage that attaches to the yard
at Bremerton, that of perfect security from out
side attack. But Mare Island is approached only
by the narrow, shallow channel dredged in
the Sacramento river, while Portland may be
reached only after the bar at the mouth of the
Columbia has been passed Pearl Island and
Manila take care of their mission very we'll, but
the administration has sought to add Guam. 1t
is the coast that needs attention.
The situation should be viewed somewhat
in the light of the past In 1912 the democrats
i'll control of the house refused to make any
provision for the extension of the navy. In
1914 this was repeated. In 1916 program was
hastily adopted, which is yet to be completed,
as it was interrupted by the war, work on dread
naughts being abandoned that torpedo boat de-
stroyers and submarine chasers might be turned
out. The present congress has been ap-
preached with requests for the immediate car
rying out of all the work postponed by the
democrats. 1t might be cunical to suggest any
ulterior motive in this, but its political pur-
pose too plain to be ignored.
| The republicans have made arrangement for
completion of the building program abandoned
in 1916, and will undoubtedly take care of the
other needs of the navy as part of the ma
tional defense. 1t will not be in the haphazard
or Unbalanced way suggested by the Daniels
requisition, though, but on lines that will pro.
vide security and not lay an undue burden on
| an already over-taxed country.

Diseases of the skin come
from beneath the surface,
hence they can be reached
only by remedies that pene-
trate down to their very
source.

And right here lies the Sc
cret of so much continued suf-
fering from so-called skin dis
eases. Simply because the
disorder is manifested by irri-
tation, itching and often a
breaking out and inflamma-
ton of the surface of the
skin, the patient is misled into
believing that the entire trou-
BILE is confined to this local dis
order.
Hence the mistake is made
of believing that the proper
treatment is the application
of local remedies to the affect
led parts. Very often the Itch
ing and irritation are so Sc
we're that you feel disposed to
try almost anything for re-
lief, and that is why you rely
upon local treatment of
salves, ointments, washes and
such remedies.
But these remedies cannot
possibly have any real cura-
tive effect upon the trouble,
because your disease comes
from far below the surface.

A Diminishing Deficit"

The secretary of the treasury now informs
she country that the net loss in taxes to the
country through the supreme courts decision
|pn the stock dividend case will not exceed $25,
100000. This is comforting, after having been
(oid that the refund required and the loss of
1xes iuncollected would aggregate several hun
red millions of dollars. While $25,000,000 is
kst aconsiderable sum of money, if that much
fss been collected from taxpayers under mis-
apprehension of principle, the government can
we'll afford to return it.

IF KIDNEYS and
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and neutraIize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and inhame. caus-
ing a burning, scalding sensation,
or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obhging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. The sufferer is in con-
slant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is diff
Guilty in avoiding it. =.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
.tion. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, tins
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs which then act normally
again. -
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands OF
folks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irritation.
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys
and cause no bad effects whatever.
Here you haze a pleasant, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink. which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
