\ srnIoUs MENACE.

No rest should be permitted by the Now York authorities until they can rest assured that the individual who is responsible for the burning of af apart Tneht house in which more than a dozen lives were lost has been apprehended and placed where he will cause no more harm to anyone. Whatever the motive was or whatever the responsibility of the individual, he is a menace to hu- msnity as long as he is permitted to be at large. Such crimes cannot be, al lowed to go unpunish.d The pyrohan. fac has no mercy. He is only satisfied when his desire to see big blaze is gratifled, and he never stops to coas sider the loss of life or the destruction of property that he causes.
 It Is next to impossible to believe that 3 sane person, no matter what might be the actusting cause, would attempt such a thing. It indicates an unbal- anced mind and for that reason the fact that one apartment house has been de- stroyed to his satisfaction gives foun- | dstion for the belief that it will only rifices will be sought.
 But whatever the motive or what ever the state of mind of the guilty person the danger is real, and espec. lally so when this fire appears to have been the second of the kind. Cunnils as such persons are. this fire fen. gives the authorities something to bat tie with which cannot be neglected. Fire dangers are bad enough without ans such additional menace as a person whf would deliberately cause such .horribli
 results. Safety will not be what i i should be while he is at large.

MRS. rELroN.s nrn1srnx

Because it would be the first case of e woman sitting as a member of tne United States senate much attention has been attracted by the appointment of Mrs. ". H. FeIton of Georgia as Eenator from Georgia to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Thomas Watson. The appointment is for the period until .be vacancy is filled and that will be doce st the election November 2. Inasu1ucb as the senate is not in session Mrs. Eel ton has not had an opportunity to aua.- fly for the seat and in view of the election coming before congress will be called into even special session there appears to be no chance for Mrs. Felton to become a full f1edged senator.
 Because of the extraordinary situa- ton talk has been indulged in about seeking some special ruling in her be- half, even to the extent of appealing to the president for something which :, not within his Jurisdiction. Thus ie view of the situation it cannot be re- Earded as other than highly creditabl, 10 Mrs. Felton that she has decides rot to make such an appeal. By he.

 Possibly Mrs. Felten also regards hs appointment on the basis of what it ap parently was-politica1 expediency Governor Hardwick had the authorit, 10 temporarily fill the vacancy. or leaR 1t vacant. It would have made no dit ference for the senate has not been T session since Senator Watson died.

AIDING CENTRAL AMERICA,

Efforts to bring about peace and better relationship between the nations of Central America, quite the same a we have undertaken between Chili and Peru, is an aim on ths part of this gov ernment which is highly commendab:e. There is no telling how much success will be obtained. Willingness to do for the republics of Central America and getting their united cooperation in a plan of action are decidedly different.
 According to the aims of the United States it is proposed to have the Gen. trsl America republicas send represen- tatives to Washington for a conference in December, at which the idea is to endeaver to get them to agree to settle such disputes as may arise among them through 2 NTsSnal to be created by them, and in view of such an agree ment to. bring about a closer friendship and reduction in their armament
 What is being sought in this instance is not so different from what was un- dertaken through the Washington con ference. There is good and sufficient reason why the Central American coun- tries should want to see the accom- plishment of the aim of the United States. They have, had plenty of trou- ble and are not now on such friendly terms as might be desired for their own welfare. Whatever can be done to ovsr- come the condition and replace it with something to their advantage should meet with a hearty response. Appar- ently the success of 1t lies with those who are certain to be the most concern ed. Nevertheless there will be many others interested in the reception givsr to the plan and the results that are ob- tained. Much as yet remains to be re- yealed.

families are suffering for things act ually needed to make them con1forta- ble. Suppose congress should pass a law fixing the price of wheat at a point which would cover the cost of production and give the farmer just a fair profit. How would the govern
 nent enforce that price? Either it would have us bu the wheat at the price fixed, or would have to let the farmer keep the surplus wheat on his | own farm and loan his practically as much as the price fixed. Now, if pro- duetion the following year were not controlled, farmers would be greatly en- | couraged by the profitable price fixed and would SOW more wheat, thus piling another big crop on top of the surplus
 More than this, the price would eneour-
 age farmers in sections where wheat is not now being grown to grow wheat, because the price would be higher rel atively than the price of corn and oats. That would result in a very large win l ter wheat crop in most of the corn belt states, which would add still further | to the surplus In the end the whole
 scheme would break down of it own
 weight and the farmers would be worse of than they were before. The one
 crop wheat farmers would be especial 1 Iy hard hit.
 | IL lS IOOllSH to CiOSS our eyes to the teachings of history of the past three
 thousand years. Government can not successfully fix prices on farm crops
 unless government at the same time ex- ercises arbitrary control over produc- tion and is prepared to take care of
 surplus crops grown. Government car
 see to it that the farmer has the cred it facilities. he needs. Government car see to it that the markets are open and
 that the farmer gets fair treatment.
 Government can collect and pass on
 to the farmers information as to croI
 production probable demand foreigI
 competition, and the various things
 which influence prices That is abou
 as far as government can safely go.'

What New York Thinks of Senator George P. Mclean

DO the people of Connecticut want man in Washington who spends most of his time work ing or one who does nothing but talk. Men like Senator Mclean who constantly working in the interests of the people of Connecticut accom- plish hundred times much as senators who talk and never work Senator Mclean is one of the ablest men in the senate tireless worker and thinker. It has been my privilege to be associated with him on the finance committee and know that the whole state of Connecticut today owes George Mclean it's enthusiastic militant support"

CHILD TRAINING
THE USES OF NATURE
 MATERIAL fN THE HOME
By Emma B. Dashley.

By Emma B. Dashley.
 The little child should make natures acquaintance as a friend and playmate and in so doing he will store up joy and peace for his after years. Knowledge of nature makes a child realize more fully his part in the infinite conception and gives him a background of beauty. Through play the child can fist be in- troduced to the absorbing world of na- ture about him.
 The stringing of nature material in the fall is very fascinating to children be- cause of the various colors and shapes available. Corn and peas, pumpkins and squash seeds may be gathered and strung with the joint-weed that is found in damp places and>can be cut in inch lengths. This reed grows to a height of two feet, and has a black and white ring between the joints, which adds greatly to it's ap- pearance and beauty. Rose-hips, thorn apples, bitter-sweet and mountain-ash berries are very artistic strung with this joint combining one, two or three of the red with one of the green. We string them in the fields using No. , Sharpe's needles and No. 30 thread. and let, the children wear their chains home. Milkweed pods give much pleasure and many things can be made from them. By placing two black pins near the thick end of the pod for eyes, we make bird with a beak. Open the slit along the side, look inside, and you see a|fish with scales (seeds). The children take the contents out; and use the empty pod for a boat, putting an inch stick across the center for a seat. and sailing 1t on the water. Out of doors it is fun to blow some of the seeds up in the air, and try to keep them up.
 Mothers can make beautiful fluffy pillows from the down of the milk-weed by taking off the seeds and putting the down in a case. Do this before the down becomes too dry, or it will fly all about. The pillows are very useful, as | they are soft and fluffy. Even the brown seeds may be utilized if served In the winter, the children and even the older people can play with them in masses on the table, making circles, squares, wreaths and other flat pictures.
 | Still another use can be made of the pods on the branches. They can be painted blue to resemble blue-b birds or
 other colors such as bronze, silver or gold. Use thin oil paints. These with

NAVY DAY.

Navy day on Friday of this week has been arranged to fall on the anniyer- sary of the birth of the late Theodore Roosevelt, strong believer in the navy In it's maintenance at the point of effi- rency and in letting the world know It.
 When tho suggestion Is made that there be special day for the purpose of giving the people of the country an opportunity to know their navy better, which idea has the endorsement of the navy department, it is natural in this part of the state that thoughts should be at once directed to the submarine base because of the prominence which it's activities hold in the minds of the people.
 It is therefore certain to be an op- portunity which large numbers VII avail themselves of when it is an nounced by Commandsnt Berrien that special arrangements have been made for the observance of Navy day at that station, and that it will not only be open to the public but that it is the de- sire of the officers and men that the people get acquainted with their navy.
 Getting acquainted with the navy is an excellent idea. Much is known in certain way about it, but there ars few who would not like the opportu. nity Of seeing and being shown more.
 The list of activities of the base thai will be available for inspection is at. tractive. For more than one reason there is interest in the base throughou' wide area. There may be satisfac uon in knowing that it is there, ant there is good probability that it will b, kept there, but there is more to bt gained by getting in close touch with i and satisfying that long felt desire tt get better acquainted. Navy day fur nishes tho opportunity.

GEhMANY,s TROUBLES.

Once more there bobs up the ques- ton as to whether Germany is able to pay it's debts. Ever since the treaty was signed and especially just before payments were due there has arisen the cry that Germany couldn't pay, that it would need more time and that there was real danger that 1t would be obliged to go into bankruptcy. sucA claims have not been without their ef feet. Germany has succeeded in ob- taining additional time. In some in stances there has been reduction made from the requirements of the terms of peace and only recently was allowed more time for reparation pay merts.
 Not all these things have been done without opposition on the part of some of the allies. There has been a feel- ing that Germany was seeking some thing to which it was not entitled and that it was not doing all it could in the efforts it was making to comply with the terms. Frequently it has been pointed out that Germany was refusing to impose taxes that were anywhere near in keeping with those which the victorious nations had been obliged to levy. There has recently been talk | about issuing German gold bonds in or der to offset the order forbidding the purchase of foreign currencies but the idea of reckoning such bonds in paper marks can hardly get a welcome recep- ton.
 That Germany has been having its troubles and that the government has been troubled is indicated by the pes simistie statement of Chancellor Wi-tf when he makes the suggestion that Germany go into bankruptcy. Some. how it doesn't jibe with the glowing ac counts of the activity reported by thoss visiting that country.
