War,!Regulations I'KKVKXTKO IS FROM Hl'YIXU CUYSTAL DOMINO Sl'tSAH But We Have It Now KINNEY& TRUAX GROCERY Quality First THE NEW COXGKKSS The nation rejoices at the convo cation ot the new congress as much as it rejoiced at the oxpiratiou of the old. May this body profit by the experience of its predecessor! There are big tasks to be done most of which ought to have been finished long ago. First of all, there, are appropriation measures abso lutely necessary for the payment of war bills, the preservation of the na tional credit and the easing of an in tolerable situation in the federal treasury. Then there are reconstruc tion measures, foremost liuiong which is the land reclamation plan of Secretary Lane, intended primar ily to provide jobs and homes for soldiers. There will be the question or ratifying the great peace treaty. There will be no lack ot important work to do. There should be no repetition of either of the evils which marred the record of the last congress neglect of vital measures by the majority and obstructive filibusters by the minority. The party roles are re versed now, but that does not neces sarily insure a reversal of procedure, Politicians will be politicians, re gardless of national obligations or the permanent welfare of their own party. And this is a time when any neglect of duty by either the repub lican majority or the democratic minority will certainly be observed and punished by the great public which is the arbiter between the parties and the master ot both of them. It is largely upon the record of this congress that the next presiden tial campaign will be decided. If either party earns the condemnation of the great body of critical and un trammeled citizens. It can have no hope of either the presidency or the control of congress two years hence, departments and the pork-barrel uiethods of more than 50 congres sional committees, without any ser ious attempt, from start to finish, to harmonize and adjust the various claims on the treasury and avoid du plication and waste. Uncle Sam is the biggest spender in the world. Maybe he doesn't spend any too much money at that; but he cerUinly ought to get more for what he does spend. And he never will until the administration, house and senate take their cue trout nrivxta corporations and put their spending on a business basis. Nellie Perl, Mrs. ItuUmmu, Mrs. Mc; Dannell and rs.

AIRPUNE- PATROL OF 5 F0RESTSBEG1NS I'lMVATKS AI'l'HOVK OK AKMY In order to get the view of the men themselves on conditions in the army, a questionnaire was submitted to 1,440 enlisted men at Camp De- ens, Mass. The men were of all the different elements ot which the enlisted life of the army is composed, good, bad and Indifferent. They had not seen overseas service, but had spent months in training, and their point of view is valuable as expressing the attitude of the average man toward military training. Although 50 per cent of the ques tionnaires went to men supposed to be dissatisfied with the service, 89.5 per cent of the, men stated that In some way they had 'been benefitted by army life. Seventy-nine per cent were glad of tie training, both for i patriotic reasons and because they felt It of distinct benefit in other ways. Eigtity-eignt per ceni iavor military training; 8 per cent oppose it; 4 per cent expressed no opinion. Washington, May 14.

Certainly It is high time for such a reform. The need has always been great. At a time when congress was spending about $1,000,000,000 a. year, Senator A Id rich . estimated that by buslness-ltke methods in the legislative and administrative de partments $300,000,000 a year could e saved. Last year enough follllonK were voted to make even a Wall Street banker dizzy. There is no expectation of the annual expendi ture falling below $4,000,000,000 for several years. It can easily foe imagined what. waste there must e In having these vast sums apportioned according to the grab-bag policy of administrative Mts.
