Some thing should be done with them, that's a sure thing. -:o: The legislature will soon vacate the Ftate house, and there will be no tears s-hed. It has been supposed to be a democratic body, but was it? Elected as democrats, it has been a dismal failure. And the sooner it ad journs, the better it will be for the pnrty in the future. But most peo j.Ic :r.ay forgive, but can they forget? Is it possible that former Lieuten ant Governor McKelvie is no longer in good favor with the oracles of his party? If that is not the case, why is it that when a proposal is made to wipe the smut from his legislative record as presiding officer of the sen ate, that body is assailed for "play ing politics?" In the heat of debate a senator, pos sibly through over-zeal, intimated that in a former session Lieutenant Governor McKelvie had favored corporation by appointing a certain committee for conference on the Dodge gas bill. There was a plain imputation that the lieutenant gov ernor had been subjected to improper influence in the making of his selec tions, and while there was no charge of corruption or graft, what was said would inevitably lead to such a con clusion. Mr. McKelvie has been out of politics for some time. He was not in position to respond to the senator's reflection upon his official conduct, even though it was a very serious re flection upon the conduct of one who is sensitive as to his political in tegrity and his political reputation. Any citizen who would not resent that sort of a statement in so dignified and important an official body as the state senate would either evince a willingness to be deemed guilty as charged or would entertain no adequate conception of the value of a good reputation. Mr. McKelvie is not that kind of a citizen. He takes some pride in his reputation, personal and political, and therefore took some steps to refute the imputation of Sen ator Dodge. Out of those steps came the proposal for an investigation. It was right that such an investigation should be had and that if Mr. Mc Kelvie had been wronged by the objec lionable utterance upon its floor, the senate should set him right and do him justice. One is not playing politics who seeks to preserve his reputation from assault. No official body is nlavinir politics that seeks to remove unwar ranted stains from the records ef former members or of citizens who have been assailed. Men in the heat of debate often gat too zealous in the arraignment of others. Charges that involve honor and integrity are too frequently made in the legislative debate. A half a dozen instances have 'been noted at the current session where members seemed to entertain no conception of the value of a reputation and in which charges have been made that not only could not be proven, but which were manifestly unfair or false. It would be wrong to deny to mem bers the privilege of making assaults n promoting legislation, but when one has been made certainly the party assailed may not with justice be de nied a hearing, an investigation if need be, and a vindication if possible. Granting these processes for the establishment of justice can hardly with reason be termed playing politics. Lincoln Star. :o: . In the Bridgeport Herald, C. D.

Few persons realize the amount of supplies being purchased in the Unit ed States by the different nations at war. The largest single order for j sugar ever given was placed in the United States last week by the Eng lish government. It consisted of more than 2,000,000 bags of 100 pounds each. A remarkable fact connected with the war and one which is hard to explain is that the consumption of sugar in the United Kingdom has in creased since the war. Much sugar is used as a luxury and the usual effect of war is the curtailment of luxuries. :o : According to British estimates, Germany cannot be starved by a blockade, but her military operations can be impeded by depriving her of Base ball fans throughout the coun- copper and other materials used in try have adopted a watchful waiting making mines, weapons, explosives policy, but intervention is expected Two weeks from today and then comes the tug of war for city officials.

Germany has seven cows to every one in the United Kingdom and has twenty million hogs, or one for every three inhabitants. Germany's stock of wheat and rye is also adequate if the harvests are up to the average this year. The British government has little faith in starva tion as a means of winning, in spite of all the fuss about the blockade. ML7ga-aC-fiiai"tt jtmmj Save 0oe Bushel of Oats fed.
