So the shipping board last year expended $6SO,OOO,00O instead of $99,0O0,000, as it claimed! It's wonder it didn't claim that it made a profit Manifestly, the government didn't change hands politically any too soon.

Frank Talk to an Able and
Highly Patriotic Senator

such thing as honor, faith, truth or
honesty in the politics of European
chancelleries. One diplomacy is as
scoundrelly as another. They are all
tarred with one stick. The French
and British diplomacies are just as
dishonest, greedy and treacherous
as any of the others.
In that cheating, lying, thieving
game-as poor, foolish Wilson found
out-we are amateurs among past
masters. We cart play it at all
And, Senator, since you yourself so
well know this, and have so power
fully and convincingly made your
cOuntrymen see the truth of this,
does not your acute and logical mind
tell you that we must not stop with
avoiding entangling alliances with
such governments, but that we must
make our country safe against the
hostility of alliances such govern
ments may make against us!

But we have thus addressed you,
knowing that common comradeship
in jealous devotion to the welfare
of our native and dear land and a
common comradeship in many a
battle for that welfare will make
you certain of the friendly spirit
in which this public appeal is made
to you.
And then, besides, Senator, we
want the Influence of your great

eloquence to go down in history as

Shall We Forget Our Duty
To Local Charities i?
By BILL PRICE. e.

There is deep regret that local charities are not re-
cevng the sympathetic consideration they deserve Whether
this lamentabe condition is due to nnumerable other de-
munty whole appears Indifferent to the needs OF
charity RIGHT AT HOME-the mute appeals OF the aged:
the crippled the invalid the faheress children and the
husbandess, helpless with dependents to feed and
clothe
This Easter campaign of the Associated Charities
should longer encounter almost icy disregard This
organization is admittedly the main through which
organized charity in this city may be distributed where
it will do the good The Christmas appeals of the
organization failed for the first time meet the require
The Easter drive is to obtain funds that will carry
the organization to the close of its fiscal yearNovember
New members who will contribute small
asked
In nearly every other city of Washngton's size the
community whole would pour out its offerings large
and small, in drive like hs. The necessities of the poor
would become a community burden and every and
would seek to share it.
For years the burden of the Associated Charities
has been borne by comparatively small number of kindly
people 1t not difficult before the world war, which
left poverty and misery in its wake Those local people
who bore the local burden uncompainngy feel
compelled to divide the they spare to charity
SO there is call to duty to all We may give what
to foreign charities but should neglect the
suffering and needy right IN OUR MIDST. There are
thousands of unemployed in the National Capital and this
deprivation for the aged the little and the
helpless of all classes.

HUMANlsMS \
William AthertOn Du Puy-

/ would ask you IT, under the following cir
cumstances you would consider Gilbert X. ches-
terton in earnest merely indulging in bit OF
his brand OF humor.
He had been in Baltimore the day before and
was now meeting Washington correspondents at
the National Press Club The huge. genial Brit
isher was the center OF gossiping circle %her
a dimnutive, foreign looking somewhat shabby
individual broke through and introduced him
self.
81 tried to get to your reception yesterday IN
Baltimore" this individual explained 'but CIR
cumstances made it impossible"
wasn't that unfortunate replied Chestertoh
warmly.
When General Pershing was siieutenant. back
in the early 90s. he was military instructor St
the University of Nebraska. Elmer }. Burkc't
later United states Senator from Nebraska, was
one OF his intimate friends, as vas Charles K
Magoon. afterward American governor of Cuba
The three often discussed the future young
do and wondered If they woull ever
amount to anything. The one point upon VIII IN
they agreed was that Pershing had chance,
that there would never be another war. that he
had better get out of the army. The lieutenant
did actually study law during his two years at
this station. but could never quite bring himself
to break away from the service
Amos H. Radcliffe. blacksmith Congressman
from Paterson. ~ j. got home last year and
found a bad condition existing in his shops where
he manufactures beams for buildings.
He used work the floor at the factory
and knew many of the men personally. In re-
sponse to his greetings they grunted suenly.
SO he took the situation by the forelock and
called his force to "A conference. He beat them
to the talk OF discomfort by pulling the record OF
the shop them and showing them that 1t was
not up to the scratch. He charged them with
loafing the job, with failing to get out the
work
We'll come and get it out yourself" was the
answer he got.
SO the Congressman, soft from an inactive life
in Washington found himself in a position from
which there no retreat. He sent out for
oyeralls, shed his coat then and there and went
back to the work OF his youth.
Thus it happened when he returned to Gem
gress in the fall that tECre were big punches OF
muscles standing out under his tailor made
clothes, cslouses on his hands and a swagG"r-
ing way about him that attaches only TO a man
who is physically hard.

Let Immigrants
Develop Land
AFR. HUSBAND, we'll named, new

W commissioner general of i'm
migration, intends to locate
immigrants on the land instead of
in the big cities, giving them a
chance to OWN the land.
That is what this country needs
not to shut out immi grafton, but to
ENCOURAGE it.
In this country THIRTEEN per
cent of the land is cultivated.
SEVENTY SEVEN per cent is UN-
CULTIVATED. Does that look as
though we need to keep out men
and women willing to work, to feed
themselves and feed Othersg
Great tracts of land should be
given to farmers, kept free of fenc-
ing and ditching, except subsoil
drainage, to facilitate ploughing
and narrowing, economically on a
big scale.
National or local governments
should maintain the latest tractors
and agricultural implements and
competent mechanics to run them.
These should be put at the service
of the farmers at actual costs, plus
cost Of renewal.
"A man who wants to start a bank
finds the government ready to help
him. 1t supplies examiners, it ad-
vises him, it arranges for him to
borrow money from the Federal Re
serve or to issue his own money,
based on Government bonds.
If a man wants to start a farm,
to build up the country, raise a
family and help feed others, Gov
ernment says to him: $50 ahead
and start your farm. 1t doesn t
interest me-"
1t OUGHT to interest the Govern
ment. Irrigation of the deserts,
which could be accomplished by
storing up waters that now go to
waste and diverting them; drainage
of swamps, which could be done un-
der direction of army officers; build
ing roads and canals, supplying
cheap fertilizer by perfecting the
means of taking nitrogen from the
air-such things and thousand
others OUGHT TO BE THE BUSI-
NESS OF GOVERNMENT.

FREELY Light.

A Princeton physiologist is said to have solved
the problem Of the frefly's light. The chemistry
Of the process is difficult enough In effect, the
luminous substance burns in oxygen ike any
fuel, only instead OF forming carbon dioxide and
water other luminants do, the products OF
the combustion are of such a nature that when
permitted to stand away from air, they change
back into the original substance, and are read
to be burned again. The experimenter obtained
the Eight without heat in a test tube which
clowed when shaken.

When fake stocks are no longer touted-
And marriage becomes q aaocS@.
When privileges all are abolished,
And derbies no longer are worn;
When all alarm clocks are demolished.
And the whang doodle ceases to mourn:
When all the dream ships are uniaden.
And all the strap hangers have seats;
When the right fellow gets the righf

Republic from the perils of foreign
alliances, and our earnest and
anxious desire and hope are that
you will be the same leal, true and
powerful comrade with us in the
equally important battle to preserve
the Republic from the perils of
foreign hostility.
Since foreign imperialisms and
militarisms failed to lure us into
alliance with them we should be
well persuaded that eventually they
will make alliance against us.
There is only one insurance
against the intrigue and the assaults
of these imperialisms and militar-
isms.
They respect one thing, Senator,
and nothing else.
They respect superior force.
Your common thief passes by the
building he yearns to loot when he
gees that the policeman is at the
door and well-armed with club and
pistol.
And these bigger thieves, who dig
nifty their villainy with the name of
diplomacy, will always pass peace
ably by the doors of a nation they
yearn to loot if they see always be-
fore that door the alert and armed
policeman placed there to guard it.
Senator, the doors of our America
open inward from the seas. The
thieves who would come to loot our
America must come through the
lanes of the sea. And the policeman
that must guard those doors and dis
courage those thieves is the AMERl-
CAN NAVY.
= Senator, the owner of a building,
if he be a prudent man, does mo-!
wait until thieves have broken in
and then call for help to throw them
out. He places watchmen to pre-
vent the thieves from entering.
Neither does he put feeble and un
armed watchmen on guard, if he
has great treasure that is sure TO
excite the longing of strong thieves
He puts active men, of approved
courage and-as we used to say out
West, Senator-reasonably handy
with a gun.
Now. then, Senator, that is exactly
what we, who are your admirers,
friends and comrades, want to do
with the navy.
We don't want a Big Navy to at
tack any other people.
We don't want Big Navy to use
in conquering and subjugating weak
little white peoples or black peoples
ar weak yellow peoples.
We Americans are no international
thieves-thank God.
We have no Ireland, no Egypt, no
India, no Tunis, nor Morocco, to
trouble our dreams of nights.
We conscript no savages to make
cur wars Our men can do their
Svn fighting.
We grind no tribute from un-
happy and defenseless millions, coin
ing their sweat and sorrow into
Dollars to support the militariSrn
and navalsm which rule them with
the whips of fear.
We pay our own revenues with
our own free hands from our own
treasury.
We have no possible need of Il
navy, save the one need of national
self-defense.

others afraid to attack us-which is
the only absolute assurance of peace
for us-is a navy SO powerful thai,
It can surely destroy any possible
