SENATOR JOHNSON'S RESOLUTION.

Senator Johnson of California has introduced a
resolution in the United States senate permitting
congress control over primary elections in
the states
This resolution is probably introduced as re-
suit of the decision of he U. S. Supreme Court in
the against Senator Newberry of Michigan. In
that decision it was held that congress could not
pass a Corrupt Practice Act which would affect
state primaries. As United States senators are
nominated in the state primaries Gf there is a
state primary law) this decision deprived con-
grcss of the power to punish for corruption in the
primary selection of senators.
We have not yet seen copy of the full reso-
more detail when have had an opportunity to
siderable Importance. Very basic governmental
Oh. "gcs might follow its passage.
Ihe resolution may not attempt to authorize
congress to prescribe the methods to be followed
by the state when members of congress are being
nominated at the same primary election as local
officers. If does authorize, it might easily re-
suit in uniform primary law in all states for all
purposes, or else in separate primary for the
nomination of members of congress.
Thoughtful people will do we'll to avoid too
hasty decision the merits of this proposal If
it involves only the ability of the government to
punish for corruption where federal offices are
involved, it probably is wise If it turns over to
the government the power to dictate to the local
communities the kind of primary law they may
have, it needs watching Capitalization of power
can proceed too fast. We would hardly wish con-
gress to prescribe the method of nominating our
local county officers.

DID OHIO WIN THE WAR?

Ohio to he firmly convinced that it won
the war and that all the spells Of conflict rightly
belong to the state along with most of the ma
tional honors During the presidential campaign,
the nation with amazing good humOr tolerated the
nomination of three candidates for the presidency
from Ohio two of them the leading tickets.
The press of the country didn't say much about it,
because the chief contenders were newspaper
editors and professional courtesy restrained.
Now however it would proper to call
attention to the fact that there is a move on foot
to make Ohio the last resting place of enough
captured German artillery to equip a halfdozen
small armies if the bills introduced by Ohio rep
resentaves in congress all pass.
There twenty-five members in the Ohio
delegation Six of these have introduced bills to
appropriate total of two hundred captured guns.
One modestly asks for siXty-seven for his con-
stitutents another would be satisfied with forty
four; third is willing compromise with thirty
one; two tied for fourth place BY asking
twenty-five apiece. The sixth let the matter rest
with fourteen requests

MY" PRESIDENT.

One of the Journals warmest and most loyal
friends, in private communication to this paper,
takes Col George Harvey, our new ambassador to
England, to task for referring to my" president
and my government instead of "our' president
and our government
We fear the point is not well taken unless our
friend wanted Col. Harvey to continue his editor
ia attitude and the conventional 'we'
for a."
Col Harvey not speaking to an American
audience. If he had been doing he would doubt
less have said our" for the president and the
country would belong much to his auditors
to himself. But he speaking to English
audience. The speaker not referring to their
president their country. He referring to
his president and his country and said AS we
understand the of English Col Harvey
speaking with panstaking discrimination.
For friend to infer that Col. Harvey
aping royalty by his speech, instead of giving
example of breezy democracy, seems to
not a well-taken criticism
Probably it does matter much anyway.
George Harvey has the brains and the loyalty to
America to properly protect interests. We
willing trust him in the selection of the exact
words to be used in doing his duty

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
AN AMBASSADORIAL SERVICE.

(From thef New York Times)
Relations between the United States and Italy
are and for long time have been so good
that the functions of diplomats can hardly extend
beyond the recognition of satisfactory sit
uations already in existence. Sgnor Roandi Ricci,
the present Italian ambassador has performed the
ordinary duties of his Office to the entire salts
faction of both countries; but it would seem that
he has also accomplished extra diplomatic
feat which alone entities him to the highest decora
ton that the Italian government can give. Ac-
cording to DR.. Antonio Stella. he saved Caruso.
AS DR.. Stella tells the story, Caruso in his re-
cent illness was in condition where his fate
depended largely his morale. At this critical
moment the ambassador brought in to tell
him, in the name of all Italy, you must not die"
Accordingly, he didn't die; and the Italian
bassador was enabled to preserve for Italy and
America gentleman who has acted for the past
eighteen years and viii act for many years more,
as sort of permanent and extraordinary super
ambassador, ~ .-- -

What is the matter, Mrs.
Toad" asked Uncle Wiggily, max
ing low and polite bow. And as
he took off his hat the bag of salt

1.-THE matter" said Mrs. Toad, as
the bunny picked up the salt, "the
matter is | haven't a thing to give

SO poor that the cupboard is bare"

"Alas!' sighed the toad lady.
My little toad children have been

I"ngears.
"Once more alas" sighed the
toad lady. Before you get back
I'm afraid they'll all faint with

"Ha. Milk! The very thing!"

there is a lot of milk, right close

Where? Oh, tell me where!'

From the milkweed plant"

DO you mind giving some of your
white milk juice to the little toad
ies?' asked the bunny.
Not at ALL" politely answered
the plant. Then she squeezed out
a lot of milk from the place where
Uncle Wiggily had broken off the
leaf. The toad mother and her
children drank this milk and they
We're hungry no longer. Then
Uncle Wiggily took them to his
bungalow and kept them there I'M

SO everything came out all right

a little holiday spirit into our days
but without much success. We
packed mothers remembrances of

things Peggy had for them.
When l told mother about Jun
Tor wandering off in the park, how
we found him, and that he didn't
want to go home, but preferred
to remain in the station house
with the officers. she laughed and
cried at the same time.
You will have to be very care
full of him, Sue" she said, "he is
such pretty boy and so bright.
Then you dress him so well some
tramp might think he belonged to
wealthy people and coax him away
Tor the reward"

one. He hasn't Il particle of fear

other children in our apartment

THE children would be just as
happy if you did not spend 50
much on them, Sue. They grow
so fast too that it is foolish ex-
travaganCe to buy them many
clothes. Just simple things and
enough to keep clean is all they
need"

There was no use discussing such
things with her because she abso-
lutely couldn't see my point of
view. She had asked particularly
about our new apartments. | had
told her we paid the same as we
did in the old one, but not that
since October we had been paying
twenty-five dollars more. She
would have been Mortified.
You see mother never had paid

twenty dollars was considered a
big rent in Freeport. One couId

over US. She asked me point
blank if we had saved anything
since we had been married, and
had to tell her no. She cOnsid-
cred Toms salary an eXtravagant
one, and thought we should save
at least seventy-five dollars every
month and still live comfortably.

impossible in New York but she

DOING YOUR WALLS OVER

(Continued)
When the first can of your tint
paint is opened it should be stirred
with stick until the color, which
has settled at the bottom, is well
mixed in; this task may take from
a half hour to an hour, but it is
very necessary if an even color
throughout is to be the result. In
deed, even when applying the tint
to the walls it is well to stir It
frequently (perhaps after every
second brushfuD so that a sedi-
ment will not form in the bottom
of the can again. AS one nears
the bottom it is often necessary
to do a little thinning, anyway,
no matter how well it has been
stirred. Turpentine is used Tor
this thinning, and the directions
on the can Of tint will tell you how
to do it.
Unless your wall has received a
similar tint at some previous time,
its first coat of tint-paint will have
to be diluted with linseed oil in
the proportion of one quart of the
llnseed oil to l gallon of the paint.
Gut these directions, too, come
on the cam.
one gallon of the tint-paint di-
luted with linseed oil will give
three or four, medium sized rooms
first coat. So If only one room
is to be tinted, it will be seen that
the entire gallon can of the paint
should not be diluted with the lin
seed oil; only onethird or one
half of the gallon can should be
diluted in this way, and the rest
Of the can used tor the second
coat. (The second coat is not di-
lutcd or mixed in any way-is sim
ply used as it comes in the CAM q.
Forty-eight hours should be al
lowed Tor the drying of the first
coat before a second is applied.
Two coats usually suffice but
when a very Iight-colOred tint is
applied over a streakcd or dark
ened wall, third coat is some
times necessary A onegaIlon can
ought to be made to yield first,
second and perhaps d third coat
to a small room.
Tinting walls, in this way-do-
ing the work oneself-is less ex-
pensive than papering them. Five
dollars is an outside estimate for
a medium-large room. The tint
ing paint runs anywhere from

BRADSTREETS REVIEW.

New York, May 13-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
Continued irregularity in trade,
reaction in the stock market, based
on desire to take profits on the
German reparatiOns agreement,
plus short ceiling of automobile
and steel stocks; further realiza-
ton of the sharp falling off in for
eign trade and less optimism as to
the outlook in different lines, are
the outstanding features in a
week rather barren of new devel-
opments. Cold weather with an
excess of rain in several areas hae
continued to hold down retail dis
tribution, while curtailed industrial
output and strikes in building,
shipping, paper manufacturing and
printing fines discourage trade at
many important centers. The fact
that it is between seasons in sew
eral important apparel trades has
had quoting effect on new buy
ing.
