As THE
EDITOR
SEES IT

When a fellow looks at his liberty
bonds he feels inclined to cuss. He
remembers how they have depreciat-
ed in value when he was urged to buy
with the expectation that they would
soon be above par. But if you have
any of them don't sacrifice them at
present rates. The present high rates
of interest will not last, and as in
terest rates decline the value of the
bonds will increase. Then it is quite
within the bounds of possibility that
congress will soon take some action
toward restoring their market value
to par, by federal legislation if neces-
sary. A little patience and you may
yet come out whole on the deal.

resigned his commission commander
In chief of the army and retired to pri-
ing the close of his military career he

Some people are inclined to be very
critical of our public officials, but it
doesn't always produce the best re-
suits. Men are men the world over,
and they are inclined to exhibit stub
born streak when some other fellow
takes it into his head to administer
a kick. A quiet talk face to face is
readily understood by both parties, and
if there are any differences of opinion
there is an opportunity to come to an
amicable understanding. When we see
anything in this town that isn't just
as it should be it is our right as citi-
zens to point it out to ou- officials, but
the officials have an e.1ual right to
expect that we will talk to them in
stead of about them. 1t is the better
way.

two day punching the bag, jumping
fences and saving wood he will soon
wonder why he ever did SO much COM

friend perfectly good stomcah He
did all that can be expected of Him.
That which the Lord gives is worth
keeping and taking care of. 1t is up
to the friend.

WashIngton>s inauguration as
the First Chief Executive

George Washington was inagurated first
President of the United States April 80,
1883. in New York city, which at that
time was the federal capital. During the
ceremonies, the chancellor administered
the oath with great deliberation and EN-
phasis, after which Washington bowed
down, seized the Bible, kissed it, and ex-
claimed with closed eyes and much devo-
ton: i swear; so help me Cod
Thereupon the chancellor declared, ut
is DONE" and turning to the crowd ex-
claimed: Long live George Washington
President of the United States" The
last named declaration on the part of
the chancellor was in imitation of mon
archical custom. The error of this prac-
tice was, however, soon exposed and
abandoned, but at the time the crowd
thought of nothing but the exciting solem-
nifty of the scene, and many who demon
stratively waved their hats were too over
come by emotion to join in the huzzas.

Country people who go to the big
cities are amazed at the shortness of
women's dresses. Many seem to con-
slider it indelicate, even vulgar. In
reality, however, the short dresses are
exceedingly sanitary, vastly more so
than the long sweeping ones our
mothers used to wear. 1t is the state
of the mind and not the length of a
dress that breeds indelicacy and vul-
garity. The human race would be in
much better condition if the dresses of
our women were even shorter than
they now are. Freedom of movement
means better health and greater
strength and vitality, and without
these humanity would soon cease to be.

points relating to strengthening rules
already in force-that will undoubtedly
come in for serious consideration. One
Is the so called "clipping' rule and the
other the forward pass rule. In the
case of the former It is probable that
the committee will enlarge the scope of
the clipping rule to make it applicable
to players who are not carrying the
ball and in the case of the latter 1t Is
expected that some efforts will be made
to curb the practice of coaches sending
lincmrn through to block off defending
backs on forward pass formations.
In the absence of important lcgisla-
tion regarding rules, however, there Is
one phase of tonight's meeting that will
be watched with interest. That is the
attitude of the committee in dealing
with the suggestions made At the meet
ing held here last Monday at the call
of Major DAILY. the West Point gridiron
coach. 1t was then decided to petition
the committee to sanction the calling of
meetings of coaches and officials immc-
diatcly after the end of current seasons
instead Of waiting until the following
season was about to open.
