With that dare-devil American battalion that was surrounded by the Germans in the forest and cut off from their allies fol five days It was another case of Argonne but not for gotten. Passed by censor. An allied bombing plane, in order to demonstrate its carrying capacity, conveyed a big piano front London to Paris. That was one time when there was really music in the air but it was nothing to the music that will fill the air when the Germans lay down their arms. This is a funny old world. The whisky makers who are flooding the country with propaganda denouncing prohibition as "confiscation." have taken profits that In the aggregate are at least S?0, 000,000 and possibly twice that sura. There were 140. 090,000 gallons of whisky on hand when the manufacture was stopped by the government. This did not Include the floor stock held by the wholesalers, which is estimated at 4S.O0O.O00 gallons, more. It cost 2 cents a gallon to manufacture this stuff. The pi ice thereupon Jumped to $3.20 a gallon, and It has been going up ever since. No wonder the distillers (who were "out from an' der" at profits sufficiently large to repay them the entire cost of Invest ment in distilleries, lobbying and other expenses peculiar to the trlfflc) started to laugh. 1 THE WIIKWS MITE. : - That 87-year-old woman at Venice who offered S 6.? 0 (all the money she had) toward the purchase of a Liberty Bond, is far more loyal to the givernment than the miser who, with ten or twenty thousand dollars In the bank, purchases a $30 or $100 bond and goes strutting down the street wearing a button to prove his patriotism.

However de testable it may bo to board sugar the government is making a patriotic appeal to the householders of the Kast to start early and hoard coal We hear, too, of whole families that have become parsimonious; no soon "T is ; one Liberty drive over than they are hoarding even tbelr pennies to bo ready for the next issue.

Warning comes from railroad men that Southetn California must be prepared to house and feed the great est army of tourists this winter In the history of the state. A coal shortage in the East is Inevitable. The supply of coal for heating will be more limited than ever before. Every family that comes to Califor nia Is contributing to the public wel fare just that amount of coal which It would consume If it passed the winter in a frrt-lorked eastern city. It is to be noticed that "for-renf signs in residence districts or me city are already conspicuous by their absence. Feeding and housing the Eastern guest this winter will be pa triotic. Los Angeles Times. Oregon will no doubt receive large benefits from the influx of Eastern people to this coast to accrue after world peace shall have come. IRELAND'S OPPORTUXITY. Lord French's demand for 60,000 recruits from Ireland before October as an alternative for compulsory military servlcs, was met with a re sponse ot If ss than 12.000 enlist ments. So the question of extending compulsory 'military service to Ire land is opened anew. Lloyd George gave his personal guaranty to par liament that Ireland would send Its quota to the front, either as volun teers or as conscripted men. The Irish leaders asked that conscription be laid on the table until the Irish districts should receive an opportu nity to prove their patriotism by vol untary enlistments. The Dublin area controlled by the Sinn Fein, produced less than one-sixth of Its quota of volunteers. Even Ulster fell far short. The north of Ireland men de clined to volunteer if their country men in the south were permitted to stay at home. Compulsory service seems the only solution of the diffi culty. THE SOUTH IS IT? CONTROL. The S&yth is la control of the leg Islation of the country, and also in control ot the nation In practically all of Its administration In the war. Never In the history of this re public has the power of determining the national policies been concen trated in the hands of so few men. or so monopolized by a handful of staUs. liy similar methods, the cot ton states were able prior t? the Civil war to dictate to the entire country regardless of the will or in terests of other states. iluch of the work in congress is done by committees. To understand the sectionalism that prevails In the assignment of the chairmanships of the committees of both nouses of congress under a Democratic admin istration the basic facts must be con sidered. Of the fifty-two Democrats in the jenate thirty represent the "Solid South," and eight others were born in the South, so that In the senate there are thirty-eight Democrats who are sympathetic and responsive to Southern Interests. Of the seventy-five committees In the senate about ono-thlrd practical ly do not function. Of the twenty jnc chairmanships assigned to Re publicans all belong to this list. Nearly every ImporUnt committee In the senate baB a Southern Demo crat for its chairman. Among these are the committees on appropriation commerce. District of Columbia, fin ance. Immigration, Inter-oceanic ca nals. interstate commerce, judiciary, manufactures, naval affairs, post offices and post roads, as well as an "ier commiuee wnicn is at any crisis In the parliamentary affairs of the senate the most Important of all the committee on rules, of which Senator Overman, a Democrat from North' Carolina, Is chairman. in tne house of representatives Southern domination is even more pronounced than in the senate. ur tne sixty-one house commit es forty-lwo are known as Import ant. Every one of the forty-two has i Southern Democrat for chairman. Democrats f rom North and West epresenting thirty-one sUtes, have been alloted only twenty-one chair manships, and these are of minor character. In. other words. North srn uemocrats . presenting two- thirds of the states in the Union, and even a much greater proportion of population, wealth, industrial, aari cultural and business interests, are limited to only one-third of the chair nanships of the house of representa tives. Even the chairmanships alloted to the Southern Democrats are a "close otporation." Out of the sixty-one house chair manships, thirty-four, or over one- half, are kept within the tuember shit) of nine Southern states. The Republican leaders malntaVta that the cry of sectionalism." shdfl not be raised, and especially at thlsV time when tho American people are united on the war. yet It Is only fair to state the facts concerning our congressional representation during the war. ' ' While the few Southern states are In control of congress the states of the North are furnishing not only the bulk of our soldiers, but are sup plying the greater part of the money to finance the war.. The American people demand a vlgctous prosecution of the war, and In the period of reconstruction after the war, the laborer, farmer and the business man will demand a proper representation of their Interests, such a representation as only a Republican congress can assure.
