Herald-Star:
Steubenville (O.)
"While Mr. Wilson was Governor of
New Jersey he induced the legislat-
ure to pass what became know as the
’Seven Sisters' laws, being intended
to hamper the operations of corporat
ions as much as possible. Since then
the state has been trying to get rid .
of these barnacles by repeal or a-
mendnient, until during the month
of April the last of the original acts
was struck from the statute books.
The rule of common sense has been
thus restored.”

According to the report of th?
Russell Sage Foundation, which we
are afraid is only too true, the public
schools of the United States show, in
attendance of pupils, training, pro
gress efficiency of only 52 per cent.
Not one State shows more than 7 5.8
per cent, while New York and other
great States are scarely above the
average, if not below it. A profitable
topic for discussion in commence
ment day addresses would be, Can

The London Times reports that
large shipment consignments of sug
ar are being shipped from Great
Brltlan to the. United States, a-id
that some ot these shipments had re
cently arrived from the West Indies.
The American buyers will pay not
only for the double freight rate from
Cuba to England and England to
the United States, but for the double
handling charges and the large pro
fits made by British buyers who were
more sagacious than our own govern
ment.
The American people will be mul
cted out of approximately a billion
dollars this year by the double
blundering of our government. The
first blunder was Attorney General
Palmer's permission to the Louisiana
growers to sell their crop at 17 and
18 cents a pound.
The second blunder was the gov
ernment’s refusal to buy the Cuban
crop, whieh was offered it at 6
cents a pound. The present outrage
ous price of sugar traces unerringly
back to the attorney general’s action
in helping the Lousiaua growers to
get a fat price.
But another than the true reason
had to be found, so it was argued
in a White House statement of last
January 3 that there was no need to
buy the Cuban crop. "President Wil
son.” said an Associated Press Wash
ington dispatch of that date, "has
decided not to excerclse the powers
conferred in the McNary sugar con
trol bill authorizing the purchase
and distribution of the sugar crop,
according to a statement issued to
night at the White House.” The
White House statement went into a
long argument that there would be
an abundant supply without the Cu
ban crop.
There Is no higher authority on
these matters than .Mr. Hoover, and
he testlflod recently before the house
investigating committee that pur
chase of the Cuban crop last July
would have given the people 12 bi
cent sugar, instead of the 25 to 30
cent sugar they now must buy.
It Is easy accurately to calulat«
what these blunders have cost the
American people this year. In round
numbers the country consume« 100
pounds of sugar per capita every
year, a grand total of 10,000.900.000
pounds. Each cent added to th«
price per pound means an additional

A Short-Haired Jolt
The short-haired women and long
haired men in Nodaway County, Mo.,
have taken up the Demon Tobacco as
the next victim of prohibition. One
ot the sisters approached Elder John
son, a pillar of the church, and ask
ed his support in the fight against
tobacco.
And this was Elder Johnson's re
ply, as printed in the Nodaway coun
ty Dcmocrat-Forum:
"A man can smoke and still be a
good Christian. Universal smoking
would do more toward bringing a-
bout universal brotherhood of man
and the Fatherhood of God era on
earth than all the spasms of short-,
haired women and long-haired men
Reformers in the world. Do I believe
in smoking? Most assuredly! Let us
pray!”
She Tried to Please
The mistress of the house engaged
a new servant and gave her instruct
ions how to behave when answering
her bell. That evening she rang for
a glass of milk and was surprised to
see Martha appear with the glass
prasped in her hand.
"Oh, Martha," she said, "always
bring the milk to me on a tray.”
Maltha apologized and promised to
remember in the future. The next
evening the bell rang and the same
request was made. This time Martha
appeared with the tray and the milk
emptied into It. Anxious to please,
she curtsied and inquired:
"Shall I bring a spoon, ma'am, or
will you sup it up?”

Chicago Tribune: "The railroads
declare they need 226,000 new
freight cars to meet the demand for
transportation equipment. Had the
federal railroad administration lived
up to its moral obligation to return
the roads in as good condition as
when they were taken over there
wouid be no such car shortage now.
But the unprecedented strain put up
on the rolling stock by the war was
not compensated by replaccmnts, and
the public is now paying the cost.
When our transportation system has
merged from the slough into which
it was plunged by government opera
tion the country will witness a re
turn to normal conditions once
more.”
Harrisburgh (Pa.) Telegraph: "As
was to have been expected, President
Wilson vetoed the Knox peace resol
ution. It is doubtful if Senator Knox
or anybody else familiar with the
situation believed he would do other
wise. Indeed, the purpose of many
Republicans in voting for the resolu
tion was to bring the President be
fore the people clearly as the on man
who has stood four-square against
taking the United States out of the
war on any than his own terms. The
large majority of Republicans and
not a few Democrats stood ready to
accept an Americanized treaty and
league of nations plan. The President
flatly told them that unless they vot
ed precisely as he willed, without the
crossing of a t or the dotting of an i,
he would not accept the treaty. He
has proved to be as stubborn and as
headstrong as he threatened to be.
Then having prevented the adoption
of a treaty that would have protected
American rights he proceeded to
blame the Republicans in Congress
for continuing the nation in a state
of war. That is where the Knox re
i solution came in. Its veto puts the
President in a position where he
must make a campaign issue of the
treaty, and the Republican party is
not afraid of making a fight on that
question. It stands ready to give the
people a treaty and a league that
will safeguard America and at the
same time put us at peace with the
rest of the world on a basis that will
be satisfactory both to us and to our
allies in the war. The President’.!

A Startling Request.
After working on a woman who
had an extravagant coiffure to impede
his progress and handicap his inani
mations, Dr. Pullen (right name
withheld by advertising department)
sighed his relief and motioned for
her to arise.
The woman pulled herself togeth
er, looked into a mirror, and then a-
gain seated herself in the chair.
’I ani all through with your
teeth.” the dentist told her.

but aren’t you going to fix up my
