icy but the majority ~refrained from
mentioning international affairs in
proposed plans.
Domestic issues were uppermost
in their minds. A high Republican
official of the %standpat type, who is
also a newspaper editor, urged the
dismissal from the public service of

repeal of the Esch-Cummins law and

Other Republican editors advocat-

of real estate, stocks, bonds, etc;
the abolition of destructive costs of
the administration of receiverships
and bankruptcies. The survey show

office" Some editors were in faver
of a six-year Presidential term, and
urged the enactment of a bill for this
purpose at the present Congress. The
question of Presidential vetoes of
proposed legislation was another
subject discussed by the country ed
itors.
A Republican editor, active in
several newspaper associations in
the Middle West said that the news
paper publishers in his territory be-
lieve that the veto of special appro-
priation bills such as the pension and
bonus measures, will constitute a
stronger platform than anything
that can be written.
One or two editors, publishing
Democratic papers, stated that the
party should favor the principles of
Woodrow Wilson, ~favoring world
peace, and predicted that the Repub-
lican party would be put on the de-
fensive a. the result of the investi-
cations. The opinion was expressed
by many that the Senate investiga-
tors had ~overplayed their hand un-
til the public lost faith and question

The marimba is a musical instru-

Gourds in graduated sizes are at

They are made of all colors, and a
