FLOWERS AND MUSIC.

Five thousand men and women att tended the opening meeting of the music trades convention in Chicago yesterday. Of course they were prej- udiced persons-prejudiced in favor of music. But something about music that was apparently new to many of them was suggested.
 The Incidental complaint that housewives plants and flowers were not thriving was suggested.
 No wonder" said the president of a music company, just as the human being to be healthy and jubilant requires nourishment com plete in essential proteins and fats, so the roses. violets. lilies, petunias and begonias simply must have music in their daily diet. Try it. my friend. Put a vase of roses on your piano at home and then softly and lovingly play Reginald de koven's oh, Prom ise Me- or Annie Laurie or Then You'll Remember Me- something that has a heart appeal, not this immoral,
 
 blossom out and blush with pleasure. The caressing notes of the music create sympathetic waves that stim- ulate the roses. I have tried music on flowers and know it will work" The speaker was dealing with the 1 effect of music upon flowers. Possibly he was facetious. Might he not have gone farther and referred to the ef- feet of the rejuvenated flowers upon people. Music and flowers are har- monious. Strong men and women love both. but their strength DOS sesses a manner of expression differ ing from that adopted by those who love neither. Wild flowers hear the music Of nature and thrive. Nor need the music come from an | artificial instrument; the atmosphere of the flowers from the tangible pres- ence of the blossom. The sense of l fine harmony; the feeling of the pres- encc of flowers may come to any spot where those who there abide will if | to be so.

THE SLACKER LIST.

The publication of lists of so-caIIed slackcrs which is being undertaken by various newspapers about the country at the request of the War Department is liable to bring about a great deal of confusion as 1t seems to have done in some cities where the lists have already been printed. No tho men who refused to take a chance in defending their country and to pill lory them in every conceivable man. ner. It is unfortunate that others have to suffer through the mistakes of tho department and the draft boards simply because there are some quit ters. The lists should be printed. we believe. though every possible effort to check up their accuracy should be made by every paper and the names Of proven innocent persons excluded.
 Many times draft boards lost track of man who had answered the call to war. and possibly was in the trenches at the time ho was sum- moned to appear for induction into the service. Many times the man himself did not get the notice at all and his friends had no opportunity to clear him of the taint of slacker- ism. The boards had little choice but to list him as a deserter, they did SO undoubtedly. Mistakes are bound to happen when SO many men are handled. and the boards may be ex- cused though this Is small comfor: to the patriotic individual who may havc served his country long and faithfully. and who has his name pub Iishcd as a stacker.
 Also. the lists will not contain the names of the most pernicious slack CTS of all-those who used money or influence with draft boards to get themselves excused from service upon ono pretext or another. wo have no doubt but that there were a large number of this class of slackors in tho country. certainly at least few boards were heedful to the call oi

 But Great Britain and Canada have shown no disposition to become in voived'' in the matter. It would seem that Canada would he interested to ascertain who forged her passports. if any were forged; would be interest cd in bringing to justice the person guilty of the act. It would seem that Canada would seek Bergdoll as the person who might give the best evil dence on the matter-to say nothing of the fact that Canada knows of our keen desire to tako n look at the smiling person.
 So BergdolI remains in Germany. we may not send troops for him as that would violate the terms of the armistice. Great Britain and Can ada are not disposed to cooperate with the United States.
 So we must wait--and the longer the wait the more unpleasant it will he for a man by the name of Berg doll

those that they carefully excused from service upon some slight pretext. The man who bought himself out is much more to be despised, in our opinion, than the individual who at least had the nerve to bring upon his trail the machinery of the United States De- partment of Justice by running away. But we shall not get those who bought themselves out, or used influence to escape, more ia tho pity.
 There were irregularities in the conduct of several draft boards if we remember rightly, the assumption that many other irregular ones were not found out is perfectly reasonable It is too bad that there is no way to punish the men who served on these boards and the ones who used the boards weaknesses to escape duty.
