BOOKS FOR THE sookLEss.

It was recognized during the war that books were needed by the sol icrs and the work of seeing that they were supplied was well carried out. Books hy the millions were sc- quired in different ways and forward cd co the men, whether at the train ing camps or across the water in Europe. The service was A valuable one and greatly appreciated. and it is but natural that there should be supplied with similar reading matter at an times.
 This idea might not seem so neces- slrv in the cities and other comnnu- mites where good libraries are main- ialncd and where books can be se- cured in large numbers and great variety. but 1t Is 10 be realized that everyone is not provided with such facilities. and it is where that lack prevails that it is proposed by tho American Library association to pro. vide the accommodation

 But it isn't solely the foreigner who would get the benefit of sue u3-dlable reading for t would appe; a all those who are denied such priv lEges at the present time.

Company Should Carry Them.

Mir. Editor: In a recent issue of your paper was criticism of musical show at the Opera House."
 Anyone familiar with theatricals knows there are many reasons why show cannot he put on in Norwich as it is in New York
 The score of musical comedy has to be rehearsed for weeks in order to convey the composers ideas to the musicians and road show only car ries enough men to pull it through with the aid of the local men. What chance has the local musician got to acquaint himself with the score with a rehearsal of an hour or less, or even if he had a whole day.
 In a production like a musical show that carries many people the local house gets,a very small percentage of the proceeds. Therefore 1t seems to me it is up to the travelling company to furnish enough trained men to make the production success. I imagine the owner of the "Onera | House. is not in business for love or pleasure. but for a profit the same as other business men. And when the business don't show a profit he prob- ] able will move to other fields more 1 profitable, as he has done in severa 1 instances.

huRLEsoN,s SURPLUS.

MT. Burleson appears to have counted his chickens before they were matched. It was not so long ago that he was kicking up considerable dust because of the claim that the post office department during the past seven years under his management had been carried on So efficiently that it showed a surplus of over sS5, ,000,00 and this he pointed out to be in marked contrast to the deficits of pre- Vious years.
 MT. Burleson didn't undertake to lay any part of this to the failure to keep the postal service up to the standard of previous days or up to the requirements of the public who pays the bills, and he didn't take into consideration the claims of the rail- roads for proper compensation under the space basis of carrying the mails.
 By the decision which has been rendered by the interstate commerce commission the appeal of the rail- roads n6t only is the surplus that he so boastingly refers to wiped out but it means that the department is in the hole about ss0,ooO, ,OeO which is as much if not larger than the deficit ht referred to during the seven years previous to his taking command.
 The commission finds that the rail roads are entitled to increased com pensation over and above what the1 have been paid by the postoff1ce de pertinent to the extent of $95,000,00( for a period since November 1916 Thus with Mir. Burleson's departmen showing a deficit for the seven year as great as the previous seven year
 it is plainly disclosed that he has ac complished no more financially thai ! those before him, while everyone l knows that he has failed miserably il

'cHow do you like your tea?' dueried the handsome young woman presiding at the urn with mechanically inter ested smile, after the hurried hostess had presented young man and de- parted. Cream or lemon ?'
 "I don't like it at all" the young man assured her promptly. T loathe it"

 For my sins, said the young man gloomily and sat down beside her as though he meant to stay. why does anyone go to aStea? Any truthful per son will admit that when he opens d fat, square envelope and discovers somebody is giving tea, and he is ask ed, he does not sob with joy. If it is man lie says, Thunder and if it is a girl she groans and runs to see whether she has any decent white gloves or will have to pawn the family diamonds to buy some. Everyone hates teas.

BRYAN's OFFER.

Regardless of the experiences he has been through as the standard bearer of his party, William Jennings Bryan is still ready to take off his coat and try to reach the white house If the democrats will but say the word. That cannot be regarded othere'-- ''-~ real self sacrifice. It shows what he is willing to endure for the sake of the democratic party.
 Mir. Bryan has ideas which do not jibe with the present chief executive. That was demonstrated during his cabinet days and it has come to the surface again in connection with the treaty. MT. Bryan has stepped into political matters again with the idea of giving a roseate hue to the de- spondent outlook of the party as the result of the demoralizing effects the present administration has had.
 There are those who are content to let Mir. Bryan talk and then go ahead and do as they please, but there are strange as it may seem, not a few about the country who are willing tc get into the ranks and follow wherever Mir. Bryan may lead. IT other words they have such unbound ed confidence in his guidance and hi craftsmanship that they are imnun' to all other magnates. As a workei and a carnpaigner there is none tt excel him. NThe fact that he had leat | his party to defeat three times woult be sufficient for most men, but no so with him. He was. force in tn Baltimore convention and there is n l doubt but what as an old politica war horse he will if he goes to tn convention next une get seriou hearing. He still has faith in Brya

eERMANYs CRISIS.

Just what has been accomplished and just what the outcome is going to be in Germany is not clearly dis closed by the present state of affairs. That the revolution does not appeal Go the whole country is well estab- fished. Regardless of the sentiment arninst st. 1t cannot be concealed that there are many in Germany who are anxious and willing to do all in their power to get a monarchical Government reestablished. There is even an inclination to put the Ho- henzonerns back in control. Such ef- forts. as might be expected, come from Prussia and those states sur rounding 1t which have become in1- prernated with its ideas.
 At the present time there Is in creasing evidence. if the reports which have been received in Paris gre correct, that the break may not mean serious consequences, that even civil war may be avoided and that the bloodless revolution will re- suit simply in a reorganization of tho existing government. Whether this outcome results or more serious con sequences follow, the agreement which it is reported has been reached would Indicate that the leaders of the old and new governments don't for the time being aim at any change in tho form Of government but rather { strengthening of the old one. The sin seTity of this intimation is of couts, subject to proof. The weakness of tn' old one was understood by itself.

THERE IS A LIMIT.

The price of oil has been going up .ne same as other things. We seem "a be able 10 get what we need but rI have to pay more for it. With the government. or at least that branch ot it known as the shipping board, the situation seems 10 be a bit differ ent. In looking forward to oil for the operation of the fleet of vessels un- der Is control the board has failed to Eat a response to the appeal for bids for future deliveries. and this would naturally give concern for much em- phasis has been lad upon the greater cfnciency secured through the use Of oil as fuel. for if it is impossible to get such future deliveries as in the past it means that the government must get a move on and make sure of Us requirements.
 But the question will arise as tc whether the failure to get bids is due Co such uncertainty as to price that there is an unwillingness to bid oi whether there is such a demand thai the government business isn't de. sired.

or, in other words. wrecking the con stitution, which was devised to "se- cure the blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity"
 what travesty on justice for con- gress to take away the rights of one hundred million people! Where is the vaunted democracy for which so many lives have been sacrificed?
 Senator J. Henry Walters of New York, the majority leader of a concur rent. resolution providing that before ratification all proposed federal con stitutional amendments heretofore or hereafter submitted" must be put up to the people of the state, said:
 We are being flooded with demands to make>the sale of tobacco and even the use of tea and coffee illegal. If the people have nothing to say, these demands could. in accordance with the proposed amendment, he logically en- forced. And why not further con tinue autoeracy by having congress elect our next president? Why not do away with the word referendum as having outlived it's usefulness? Why not let referendum be supplanted by 3utocracy? It is. however a seIf-evi- dent fact that public sentiment is strongly opposed to hone dryness without it's consent. This condition is disclosed by the fact that the lare- est number of towns in Vermont that | memory recalls has just voted for li- l cense, the number being 112. whereas 1 two years ago there were only 30. | In Western Massachusetts last week five towns shifted from the dry to the wet column. and in that state there l have been similar changes during the 1 past few months.
 This revulsiQn of feeling is signif- cant. and is indicative that coming cents cast their shadows before"

Against peonIe,s Riahts.

MT. Editor: The constitutional pro- hibition amendment. so-called, is misnomer. Constitutional anti-peo- ples' rights amendment is what it should be called. In fact, it is what it is, therefore it cannot be called oth- CT than that, as it goes contrary to democracy of which this country used to boast.
 This amendment is the most nefa- rious piece of business that congress ever passed. Yes, passed right over the head of the voters. They had noth- ing to say in the matter and were re- garded as cattle under the dominion of a driver. While our poor sailors were going through hell on the seas and our poor soldiers the same on the blood stained battlefields. of Europe to establish democracy. congress. was striving for the attainment of au- tocracy by passing an amendment to the constitution of the United States,

Mir. Barnes and the Irish Question
 "A Bad Observation.

Mir. Editor: It is difficult to tell whether Observer designed to defend MT. Barnes or to attack A Listener. neither case his letter is a failure.
 In considering Irish politics. eith- with a condition, not a theory, and theories do not solve conditions. This was the substance of that part of my criticism on MT. Barnes oration.
 Observer may say "Cut out the prayer"-and he may have done this in his own experience, but when he all leges that this is what we do in this country, we think he is presuming too much.
 We may be approaching such a condition. but we have not arrived there just yet. and Lord pity us when we do-and God save Ireland from establishing a prayerless repub- lie.
 A citizenship that does not ac- knowledge divine authority, will not long have respect to any human au- thority or obligation. and a citi- zen of any country who thinks that cutting out prayer is the sine qua non for the preservation of political equity is offering a dangerous contribution to the body polite.

war would have been seriously handi- capped. The taking over of the pro- duction in the Osage region, as the government is understood to have de- cided to do, for the shipping board and naval use, will mean fifteen mil
 lion gallons a year which is small amount in comparison with what the wells of the country produce, but we have previously been made aware of the fact that it is necessary to go to others in order to get sufficient oil to go around. And right there we are confronted with the question as to how long we are going to continue to produce as much oil as we are doing today.
