OUR NATIONAL HOMES FOR THE
USELESS.

There are many of these in Washing.
ton and the Bureau of Biological Survey
is one of them. 1t is an appendage of
the Department of Agriculture and its
members are Biologists. A Biologist is a
person whose business, if it may be called
a business, is to study the principles of
widest application to the origin, develop.
,ment, structure, functions and distribu.
tion of plants and animals. (Webster.)
EARLY last summer our national biolo-
gists studied flies for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if they were nomadic and, il so,
how far and how fast they would fly
from point of departure in a given
number of days. Several thousands of
flies were trapped and after they had
been given nights rest, fed and busted
with pulverized red chalk they were re-
leased. Expert fly trappers were station
ed all around the point of release, the
first Gordon being half mile away, the
next a mile and so on for eight or ten
miles. When fly. having red chalk on
his. back was taken on the rim of the
first zone, record of the hour and min
ute of his capture was made and he was
released. The same thing was done on
the rim of each zone. When the records
were all tabulated this study ~ convinced
the biologists that flies fly, and to an ex-
pectant public they divulged the method
by which that fact was absolutely proved.
The remainder of the summer was spent
in studying barn owls. They caught 675
barn owls, killed them and held a post
mortem for the purpose of finding out
what each and every one of these owls
had eaten for dinner. Lest we be sus-
pected of trying to be funny we will let
the biologists themselves tell about this.
We take the following from booklet
issued by them: 'In Washington, D. c.,
the survey recently determined what 67s
barn owls had for dinner. Here is ths
menu, by variety, and number Of dishe'
consumed: Meadow mice 1,l19; house
mice, 452, house rats, 1884," The reade

ments on this Study"

triotic citizens will, in response to the
wish o. the President pause for two
minutes at noon for period of silent
prayer. President Harding will deliver
the funeral oration and finally, before
being committed to the tomb, the Un-
known Warrior will be decorated with
the French Military Medal and War
Cross by Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the
greatest war captain now living. No
dead soldier ever had greater honors than
these and they will fittingly express the
sorrow, the love and pride felt by the
nation for its more than $4,000 men who
were killed in the World War. They
gave their lives for the welfare and safe

Following is the Illuminating explana &
tion of railroad ticket agent to a would
be purchaser of Pullman berth. The
agent said: "You understand that the
lower is higher than the upper. The
high price is for the lower berth. If you
want it lower you will have to 60 higher
We sell the upper lower than the lower.
Most people don't like the upper, al
though it's lower on account of it's being
higher, and also because when you occu-
py an upper you have to get up to 60 to
bed and then get down when you get up.
l should advise you to take the lower,
although it's higher than the upper, for
the reason l have just m entioned, that
the upper is lower than the lower because
it is higher. Of course, you can have
the lower if you pay higher, but if you
are willing to 60 higher it will be lower. "

OLD HENS YARD STICK.

Irene and Helen, two little sisters,
went to visit their grandmother in the
country. 1t was their first visit away
from the city and they were surprised
and delighted at everything. They were
especially interested in the chickens
and loved to hunt for the newly-laid
eggs.
Their grandmother cautioned the
children never to take away the nest
egg. Their strife to see which could
find the most eggs was great. One
morning Irene reached a nest first.
Selling the forbidden egg, she started
for the house.
"Oh, grandmother shouted Helen,
hurrying after her sister, "Irene's got
the egg the old hen measures byI"

Governor Cox, the late Democratic
candidate for President, is on record as
having recently said: THE League of

the Democratic party is standing as in

later MIR. Marshall, former Vice Presi-

THE CONsPIRATORS FAILED.

The wouldbe railroad strikers marched
defantly to the brink of the abyss of
failure and then turned back. In some
degree it was bluff from first to last.
Months ago the leaders of the brother
hood saw that their prestige was waning
and that unless they kept up a strike
agitation and led it to successful finish,
their influence would be lost. They knew
that public opinion was mobile and plastic,
easily scared and when thoroughly fright
ened the public could be plundered re-
morselessly. They had bulldosed the
people once and they wanted to do it
again. They succeeded in the first in
stance because the great American pub
lie found it necessary to put patriotism
above all other considerations. The late
democratic administration has never been
justly criticised for yielding to the de-
mands of the brotherhoods when it did.
We we-e engaged in a great war and the
railroad men had strangle hold on the
government. 1t is now clearly seen that,
considering the necessities and perils
which impended at that time, the COM
bined action of the brotherhoods was
contemplate if not near-treason. Gov
ernment ownership is another matter
only remotely connected with the recent
ly proposed strike.
A few weeks ago the leaders of the
railroad men realized that public opinion
was no longer plastic as far as they were
concerned but had crystallized into a
firm determination to resist another hold
up with all its power. They realized, too,
that public opinion crystallized by al
most unanimous determination is, in eff
feet, the Government of the United
States. They realized that strike, if en-
tered upon would be disastrous failure
and would react unfavorably upon union
lied labor for many years and that labor
leaders and labor agitators would be con-
demned by all, even bytheir present follow
ers The leaders in order to evade respon-
sibility and blame, ordered strike vote and
about 90 per cent of the members of five
of the great railroad brotherhoods voted
in favor of defying public opinion. AS
the time set for the strike drew near the
wiser ones in the brotherhoods, and they
were many, realized that their leaders
had adroitly and completely succeeded in
putting the rank and file in position
where they would have to bear all the
blame for whatever happened, for all the
stagnation of business, hardship, suffer-
ing and deaths which would follow in
consequence of the strike. When this
fact was absorbed by the members, they
ceased to allow their leaders to do all their
thinking and began to think themselves.
They. saw the handwriting on the wall and
were able to interpret it. The railroad
employees should have a fair days pay for
a fair days work, and there should be
working rules reasonable and equitable
to both employer and employee. The
working man should have square deal.
But when we consent that very small
shall dictate terms to hundred
million people the Republic will be a con-
fessed failure and we may as we'll haul
down the Stars and Stripes and clip the
wings of the American Eagle.

When Mr.. Weeks became Secretary there
were 1883 civilians employed there. Of
these 4,731 have been discharged. This
with reduction of the clerical force and
the discharge of superfluous overseers

Canadian manufacturers are complain
ing with emphasis because British brok-

ing large quantities of German made
goods, paying for them in deprecated
German currency, repacking and relabel-

In this way the British are gradually
driving Canadian industries to the wall

months ago, published bulletin which
informed US how many tons of grind
stones were quarried in the United
States in 1919, and they have issued
many other bulletins which were equally
unimportant. The Biological and the
Geological Surveys have done much
work which has added vastly to the
wealth and prosperity of the nation. Our
other national bureaus, commissions and
boards, there are about one hundred of
them, have also done some good work.
The good work should continue but we
protest against allowing these places to
become national homes for the useless.
We do not believe it is necessary to sup
port thousands of specialized cranks who
have absurd alterations, but, if we must
support them, we believe there is less
expensive way to do so.
