GROWING WEAKER DAILY.

The result of the Jackson day din ner Of the democrats doesn't indicate that the members of his party are convinced by the stand which Presi- dent Wilson has taken regarding the treaty. On the contrary there is evil dence to the effect that there is a widespread feeling within the party circles that the president is wrong and MT. Bryan right, regardless of how much they hate to put their sup port back of the several tnies de- featcd presidential candidate instead of supporting the president. In other words they are not deserting the pres ident because they want to but be- cause they believe that he is wrong. In fact they would have much prefer red that the positions of the two had been reversed.
 Democratic sentiment strongly in- c1ines to the belief that "Mr. Bryanl is right The Brooklyn Eagle has taken that view, and it further says, ~Ths Eagle is one of many newspa- pers friendly to the president which hold that the time has come when the course of the treaty toward a possi- ble compromise should not be longer impaded by the sntipathy prevailing between Mir Wilson and Mr. Lodge Nr. Wilson is not the democratic par ty. Mr. Lodge is not the republican party. Neither is an autocrat to be unquestionably obeyed nor a leader to be blindly follow ed. The prejudices of neither should be allowed to obstruct the inclination of those members of the senate who feel that their plain duty is to give the country what he country wants. The influences now making for compro- mise in the senate should be encour- aged"
 The Jackson Cay revelations have doubtless done much to hasten the time when there will be a getting to- gether upon the treaty with reserva- lions substantially as approved by a majority of the senate. It is what the country is looking for and without ex- tended delay. The presidents stand on the treaty is getting weaker sup port daily and the democrats are aware of it's effect on the party.

cuRRLNe EXPENDITURES.

Having given notice 10 the effect that there must be a pruning of the estimated expenses by congress at this session House Leader Mondell does well to announce that pork" is to be excluded. In taking that stand he will make it plain that what is al- ways regarded as needless expendi- lures, or those which can wait just as well as not, must be eliminated.
 There is need for economy. In stead Of spen ding millions just for the sake of putting money into circula- ton taxation has reached a point where it is tinio to put forth every possible effort to check expenditures and lower inc taxes. Such action is, of far greater importance at this time than erecting new public buildings at enormous costs under ordinary times but doubly great just now. It is bad enough to authorize some of the need less expenditures when the govern meRt is flush with money. when it hasn't been putting up for tremendous war expenditures and when It hasn't been appealing tc the people to give until it hurts but in view of what has been experienced, the state of the federal treasury. tie annual interest bill and the high cost of everything it is time that there was not oIilv an in sistence upon the elimination of waste but the abandonment of the practice Of voting needless expenditures.
 It cannot be expected that it will be accomplished without a struggle The fact that a warning has been given will not be enough. There are those who are looking to the pork barrel at every session and unless they can be convinced that there is no such receptacle on which to fat ten persistent raids will De made upon it.
 There WIS never worse time fo. extravagance. while waste should be prevented at every session, but it car hardly be expected that it will be un. Ger control for very long until a bud get system for national business i. adopted.

Much time is saved if you have 8 separate disheloth to dry baby's dish es. It should be kept always in a certain place and used for nothing else.
 When baby gets old enough to eat vegetables and other foods you should have for him feeding plate. Hot water held in the bottom of the plate keeps the food hot and wholesome throughout his feeding. Tell some member of the family who is always bringing the baby useless toys about this plate It would be such a nice Christmas present.
 If-baby is a "wriggler'' you will find it convenient to fasten him in his crib. Nurse says that it is best to do this by a, sort of heavy muslin belt that may be made by folding a baby s napkin four times. .lengthwise. Fasten this belt through the pad rubber and mattress by means of two strong big safety pins and then when baby is put down draw the belt comfortably un- der the arms and fasten it securely by means of two smaller safety pins. Baby will go to sleep sooner if he finds that he is unable to thrash about or to stand up. For the pins to fast en the belt to the mattress you will find blanket pins best because they are large enough to go through all the paddings and rubber and mattress. If you cannot get the sort of pins you want in a department store go to a harness store and get horse blanket pins. You may be sure that they will be strong enough for any baby and the ponts are splendid.

MEXICO AND ENGLAND.

As long as Carr anza remains at the head of the Mexican go1ernment there Is little reason to expect that there will be any different policy put forth by that republic toward the United States. That seems to have been quite clearly demonstrated by our ex- periences for the past several years. Mexico has taken the attitude of an ingrate. It Has not neglected any op- portunity to get our assistance but it has repeatedly lodged the obligations of one friendly nation to another and has permitted the impression to be gained tha= this government, as one leader has expressed it, is nothing but a bluff
 Mexico has been playing with the opponents of this country in the re- cent war. Under Carranza it is pos sible to regard it as working against the interests of this country while it ;s at the same time disregarding the rights of Aneri an subjects ill Mex ico.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that Carranza's representative has been appealing to England for f. nancial aid, encouragement being held cut to British investors under the claim that the object of the Mexican government is. +he protection of all vested interests. It is possible that

RELIEVING nIsraEss

Faced by starvation and knowing that this country not only has the means of providing the necessary credits for the forwarding of food stuffs but that it need not suffer any hardships because Of supplies on hand, the appeals that have been made in behalf of Armenia, Poland and Austria are endorsed by Secre- tary Glass of the treasury department who urges that credits to the amount of s15O,00o,0OO be approved. This would provide necessities in large measure for the three named sections and there would be in addition relief for others who actually need it.
 Though Herbert Hoover has awak- ened increased interest in the matter of increasing credits to Europe by de- clarlng that Europe needs to go to work rathr than to be handed money he nevertheless pointed out the nee essity of relieving the food situation in the section of Europe where efforts are now under way.
 With a surplus of food here and with funds already available, without making a new appropriation. from which the necessary goods can be purchased. t is not surprising to learr that, though no decision has beer reached and the testimeny of MT Hoover has not been heard. sentiment in the house committee on ways and means is favorably inclined to the extension of the relief.

LAUNDRY HINTS

Woolens should be dried in the house on very cold days. The secret of drying woolen so that it does not shrink lies in drying it quickly. It should be hung on a warm, dry room, but not dried so rapidly that you can see the steam rising from it. as this very rapid drying shrinks it.
 One housewife who believes in mak- ing work easy says that she has found it great help for mending day if, when ironing, she has at hand q tablet and pencil, and as an article is iron ed which needs mending makes a note of the nature of the need; as, for in- stance, fathers shirt two buttons; James waist, patch, etc.
 It is a good idea to iron all woolenf before they are quite dry Shrinking is caused by the intertwining of the wool fibers which are jagged so that they c4tfes. 7>e- nd the iron ing while the wool is still damp hei to keep tlie . iIi,ltting to- gether. There are boards that come to stretch stockings and various un- dergafnnents on while~they are drying and these are well worth buying fol | expensive woolens.

PEACE AGAIN.

Peace again prevails in Europe be- tween the centra, and allied powers. Fighting has been checked for consid- erably oyer year and by all the na- tions thera has been 3 ratification of the peace terms, the cepositing Of which along with the acceptance of fEe terms imposed for the sinking of the German ships at Seapa Flow made the Paris gathering strictly for nal and short. Peace takes the place of the arnistiee agreement.
 Not because we entered the war af ter the other nations was this eoun- try not party to the exchange Of notifications, but because we have not as yet ratified the treaty. Therefore we are technically at war with Ger many with the arniStice terms in. eff feet. When this condition will change and when we will join with the others in formal peace depends upon the &C., ton on the treaty at Washington. And while we have not as yet become a party to the peace we also will have nothing to do with the formal creation. of the league of nations called for Friday of this week, the date which, uS IH 1iILCE6Sl1ES COfHClu6Ills HtdI ! the going into effect of constitutional prohibition in this country and thus hound to be memorable date for 1aore than enc reason.
 If President Wilson +as his way there is no telling when ratification by this country is to be expected. Under reasonable conditions It should have l cen disDo5ed of so that the United States could have participated with tie nations it was associated with in reestablishiug peace. If, however. ef- forts Whicf. are under way succeed in effecting a compromise in the senate it may not be so long before we will join the others in stepping from a technical state of war to peace. II will be too late to participate in the first session of the league of nations but while that will be an event of much historical. importance there will be other sessions which will be quite as vital

 The teachers of Bristol have been voted an increase of $500 a year to

 It is regretted that there is q tend 1 eucy to discontinue dairy farming in | some parts of Connecticut The milk supply of Hartford is materially af- fecteG by this tendency.

 from 5000 to 10000 milch cows to in

 that will make it more reasonably Cer- tain that the demand for milk will be
 met.

HEALTH AND REALITY

 Brushing adds to the strength, gloss and scftness of one's tresses. The hair should be brushed free from dust every night. Part it into strands and brush each strand carefully. Let the strokes be firm enough to reach the scalp and stimulate cfrcula tion, but l be careful not to carry tie brushing method to extremes. After the brush l ing rub the, scalp gently for few | minutes and apply your tonic. For l the night bfaid the hair into two
 loose hanging braids and let it remain otherwise unconfned. This will give | It the proper ventilation and remove i the strain of the day.

BLUE TO THE FORE

It would be harder to find a more specific illustration of the way navy blue is coming to the fore again as one of fashions most favored color ings than an order that a buyer of dress goods tried to place with a wholesaler of fabrics in New York recently It fell through because the latter could not promise to ~ it with in the time specified, if at all. The order was for ninety pieces of goods, comprising several of the season s most popular fabrics, and the color specifications called for seventy pieces of navy in the lot Of the remaining twenty pieces, half were wanted fin brown. Not a single piece in the en- tire lot was wanted in high" shade, despite the fact that the trade cater ed to by the buyer in question ordin- arily does not take much interest in staples of any kind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr. McWiIIiams and Mir. Bryan.

MT. Editor: Naturally we would be very cautious about entering into a
 debate with Mir. McWilliams, who is well known as a fierce combatant, and when he happens to be on the right
 side, not many argumenters would
 stand a cmnce with him. It is only
 because we see a seemingly weakness
 in his position now, that we would
 enter the lists with him. When, aft
 CT reading, as he surely did read,
 President Wilson's address to the Jacksonian convention, and then read ing what Mir. Bryan said, and turn ! away with the impression that there i is any comparison between the men or Worse-that in comparison the president appears to him in an unfa- vorable position, we cannot resist the conclusion that MT. McWlIian1s' judg-
 ment is @ trifle out of balance.
 The best verdict on MT. Bryan S policy is expressed by himself in his little joke about getting out of the wet. | We will not say that the joke was | arranged beforehand for. the occasion ] but, as Mir. Bryan was booked to 1 speak here at a Baptist church, it was proper to have ready some little cute
 saying about the use of water. In the little joke, however, MT. Bryan ex- pressed his policy and his failing. It 1 was to be expected that at an inn portant occasion, if Bryan was to ap- 1 pear, he would distinguish himself by i breaking with the presidents views of | the league of nations. He in this 1 case takes sides with what he ap- l prehends will be the popular one. He doesn't raise his umbrefla-he gets in l out of the rain. Congress he says, l has authority to declare war and 1 therefore has. power to declare peace,
 and so forth. If MT. Bryan had been president instead of Mr Wilson, con-
 gress might have had to declare war over his head, and without his con- l currence. We know that he forsook his duty and left the cabinet as an opposer of the war. What kind of a 1 time would our country have had if MT. Bryan had been president? Does MT. McWilliams approve MT. Bryhr in this, his first split with Mir. Will
 son, as he does now approve of his recent split? We. certainly and em phatically, do not approve. We have no desire to discuss the merits of the lquestion, but to us it looks as if many | republicans regard the league of pa- tions as if it was a connection of the president. and on general principles they must, for that reason, oppose it 1 'Tis not to them a great internationa subject, but a home question that car be well turned to political opportuni- ty and advantage. If the president was a republican al lwould go mer. ry as a marriage bell, or if he was z
 democrat of the Bryan type an amica. ble and sudden adjustment would takt place-at least so, in MT. McWill' jams opinion.

cHoosE cLoTHEs WITH CARE

There is absolutely no reason why women should not be charming to look at this winter if they will only choose their clothes carefully and avoid congregations. The great draw back is the price that must be paid for clothes of any kind and for this reason it is necessary that women should choose with greater care than ever. To, spend q great deal of money and then look ones wosrt is a catastrophe, not only for oneself and ones family, but for the community also. We'll dressed women in the mass add to the beauty of the country in general, and the necessity of bring ing al women into line about dress is one of the many duties women of the upper closses owe to their less we'll to-do sisters. It is not right to say that it is of no importance how the masses dress so long as they can be taught not to spend much money It matters 8 very great deal, ia more than is apparent, for dainty, neat dressing is often the result of we'll ordered mind

The British are fully aware cf the course Carranza has pursued and the way in which he has threat ened to cut off the oil supply. Under other conditions it might be anxious to help Mexico out but its relation to this country are such that it is not to be expected, while on the other hand England as well as any other country fully understands how f1imsy is the promise of protection that comes from Carranza.
