Fate of the dry act is to be settled on April 1. Good day for the job. Canners decline to consider lower prices, but a way may be found to reach even them. ' America is to recognize the republic of i Armenia. It will not be like meeting a stranger. Navy medals will shine all the brighter be cause they will be worn by men who deserve them. , A prize bull has been lodged in the bridal suite at an Alabama hotel. Write your own scenario.

' Mayor Smith's remarks concerning Herbert Hoover's candidacy will be echoed by a lot of democrats. Buyers of German marks might wait for1 bargain prices. It is down to 1 cent now, and going lower. , Among other traditions of the army that might well be forgotten is the administration of Newton D. Baker. ' , The outlook' for America is improved, be cause there are signs that folks are ceasing to talk and going to work. Universal military training is getting nearer and nearer to the young American. He will be found ready in the future. The mayor is after contractors who have de layed performing work let to them. A little action is needed somewhere. Exportation of children from famine-stricken Vienna is the best possible argument in favor of the fund to feed the survivors. 1 , , . Adam McMullen shies his beaver into the gubernatorial ring with the nonchalance of an experienced gladiator. Watch him go. It may or may not be significant that the hew secretary of agriculture in the president's cabinet i the editor of "Successful Farming." You know, nothing succeeds like success. The school board's inquiry develops ,that single men teachers can get board and room in Omaha cheaper than single women. There may be a reason for this, but the fact seems odd. " An Honor That. Comes High It is no joke to be vice president of the United States on a salary of $12,000 a year when the holder of the job hasn't an ample private bank account, a full stocking or a hall clock depository to call on for funds. Mr. Marshall a friends in Washington say he has fpund out as much to his pain. . To use a variant of an old-timer, Mr. Mar shall, it seems, has been put to the test of liv ing up to a champagne job on a beer salary. By all accounts, he has not accumulated a large ouantity of wherewithal in the course of his 66 years of life in Indiana and Washington. And yet, if our Information from the national capital is correct, he spent $3,700 for official dinner parties in a single month, or nearly a third of his annual pay by Uncle Sam. . Isnt it about time to turn from lest to earnest about the office of vice president ot the richest country on the globe? If he is to be the "dinner goat," if he is to be the presi dential diner-out by prosy; if he is to give as Tood as the more amply panoplied ambassadors, ministers, special envoys and plenipotentiaries !rom other lands send by way of collations and things,' wouldn't it be the square and decent policy for uncle to pay the bills thus incurred in the name of American hospitality? Twelve thousand dollars a .year! In the late steel strike inquiry we learned that some txpert skilled industrialists 1 draw, nearly that jiiuch money for their services. Court reporters Sere and there over the country have more tttractive pay envelopes than Mr. Marshall ana bis predecessors have drawn. It isn't to say they don't earn what they geV but it isn't up to them to spend thousands of dollars a year on spreads and let their eountry have most of th, credit ,threfor-Minneapolis Tribune, THE FLU SITUATION, . This is net written to alarm, but to reassure. The city is again undergoing an attack of the Influenta pestilence. Citizens should take every possible precaution to guard against contracting or spreading the disease. City Health Commis sioqer Edwards has issued a little set of rules thst may be had for the asking, and which will aid any in complying with the advice of the doctors. Otherwise the whole health status of the community depends on the individual. Ordinary practices conducive to normal health are the best safeguards. Eat sparingly of plain food, see to it that the functions of the body are not allowed to flag, avoid over-exertion, keep the homes well ventilated and not, too warm, sleep with windows open, and above all do pot neglect a cold. Consult a physician and be guided by his advice if you feel symptoms of approaching illness. If the flu does enter your home, do not view it lightly, but be con trolled in all things by what the doctor says. This is the only way to meet the flu. gg. y "'v Some Democratic Testimony. It is interesting to note that not all the pres ent day democrats are blind followers of the president ii his demand for his personal plans; Senator Shields of Tennessee not only sets his own influence against the League of Nations as presented by Mr. Wilson, but he arrays a considerable volume of testimony from the party's great men in support of his conclusions. Concluding his remarks on the covenant in the senate, Mr. Shields said: Mr, President, I can not give my consent to the proposed supergovernment and alliance with more than fifty nations, calling tor the use of military and economic forces coerc ing those who are members, as well as those 'who are excluded from it. It is an abandon rnent of the principles of government "by consent of the governed" and of representa tive democracy, and substitutes for them force and militarism: The senator quotes from Thomas Jefferson's letter to Mr. Gerry, in 1779; I am for free commerce with all nations and political connections with none; I am not for linking ourselves by new treaties with ' the quarrels of Europe, o.r entering the field of slaughter to preserve their balance, or to join in the confederacy pf kings to war against the principles of liberty, , George Washington's advice to his country men, In his "Farewell Address," and Presidents Jefferson, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jack son, Polk, Madison, Van Burjn, Harrison, Tyler, Johnson, and their secretaries of states are all called. upon to testify against the covenant as proposed by the president, and from Grover Cleveland he quotes: The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the at tention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any departure from that foreign policy com mended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity of our republic. Even as good a democrat as Woodrow Wilson supplies an argument against his new scheme. On May 6, 1914, President Wilson said: America should live her own life. Wash ington saw it when he wrote his "Farewell Address." It was not merely because of pass ing and transient circumstances fliat Wash ington said we must keep from entangling alliances. Those who are right, those who study their consciences in de termining their policy, those who hold their honor higher than their advantages, do not need alliances. . President Wilson at other times said much more strongly supporting the position of Sen ator Shields and those other democrats who now oppose theJLeaguc of Nations into which the administration is now trying to drive the country. It is an appeal from Philip sober with a sense of his deep responsibility to his people to Philip drunk with the heady wine of inter nationalism. And the latter is keeping his country out of peace. "Halo of Traditions" ior the Army, The plan of the War department to supply certain regiments of the army with a full set of traditions, in order that interest may be maintained after the fashion of European fight ing units deserves consideration. The honor able record of a regiment is not to be gainsaid; its service in peace and in war is its own, just as is the achievement of an individual, and de serves to be handed down, gathering in glory as it is' hallowed by time. "The land without traditions is a land without history," sang a gentle poet of our own Southland, and America is rich in traditions and history, too. Gallant deeds of personal valor, of regimental devotion to duty, are plentiful in the army. Certain reg iments like; to trace their descent from colonial times, following the thread through the various mutations incident to reformations worked by successive changes in the army organization, but maintaining a distant connection. These are to be commended. If objection lays against the plan as proposed, it 'will be to that portion which contemplates the preservation of sec tional distinctions, by perpetuating state or group designations. The United States army belongs to the nation, to all the people, and the soldier who serves under Old Glory does so in Maine or California, in Florida or North Da kota, the guardian of'one country and one flag. It is eminently fit and proper that each state keep sacred the splendid record of the soldiers who marched to any of our wars, but that sen-, timent should not be extended, even for re cruiting purposes to involve the army in sec tional pride, however laudable that may be otherwise. ' Prussians have abandoned the president as well as the king idea, and under the new con stitution will have the head of the legislative assembly as head of the government. This is fairly welding the executive and the legislative branches of the government, and may be a step ahead. "Dave" Houston, having made quite a hand at spending money in the Agricultural depart ment is now moved Over to the Treasury, to see what he. can do in the way of providing the wherewithal to run the government. The shift may. give him a new angle on the situation. Lloyd George's son is in America on t "business trip," but it is a safe guess his father will get some first-hand dependable information on the feeling in this country concerning European affairs. . v Carter Glass's request for $150,000,000 to provide food for hungry Europeans is to go to congress with the president's endorsement. This will probably get by, although Hoover's advice thaJUhcE go to work is still good. Rail Strikes: Public Rights From the Chicago Tribune. Railroads ought to be free from strikes. Rail road employes ought to be guaranteed against the need for striking. We think the guarantee should accompany tne prohibition. There are fixed obligations on both sides of the controversy. The adjustment must be mu tual. The right of the mass of the people to enjoy uninterrupted distribution of essentials is indisputable. It is the right to live. Railroads hold the power of life and death over whole communities. This power must be vested in the people. Disputes between employer and employe must not jeopardize the vitality of the nation. Eut there is also the" obligation in favor of the worker. It is that he must Je guaranteed against any disadvantage which might arise out of blind loyalty or enforced service. If he strikes he endangers many lives. Therefore he should be prohibited from striking. This is the intent of the Cummins bill But if he is to be denied the rijjht to strike he must be granted that which, but tor the law, he could gain only by demonstration. In short, if we abolish the strike we must also abolish the cause of the Strike. Guaranteeing the nation against railroad strikes should mean also guaranteeing 'the rail road worker against the obvious hazards of life. The worker must be assured that his uniform loyalty is to be the means toward a good liveli hood, toward care in sickness aW protection in old age. A railroad worker should enter the service with full knowledge of the conditions. He should make, his choice with an open mind. The incentive to' faithful performance should appear in wages, health and old age insurance instead of in the inexorability of the law. A man is most likely to give efficient service if he is assured of present comforts and a competence in old age. The Cummins law may to some appear abrupt. Apparently it sacrifices certain com petitive rights of the workers without establish ing anything in exchange. There must be no mistake about the operation of an ani-strike clause. The threat of 600,000 men to resist means that their rights have not been made clear. If their rights are protected in the bill there should be exhaustive explanation. If the bill neglects, proper guarantees it -should be amended to conform to a policy of "more than fair." The government must be more than fair. The abolishment of the right to strike entails air absolute obligation which cannot be stated in fa if promises. Fulfillment must be unquestion able. It must be an even exchange of rights. For the right to strike the workers must (be guaranteed the right to continue in a highlv desirable indusry. The way to make railroad ing highly desirable is to adorn it with ad vantages so attractive that efficiency shall be its own reward. Railroads are the nation's arteries. In the last few year they have declined. The public suffers. If the roads function properly pros perity increases. - If rail service is shabby, busi ness is shabby. There is a financial aspect of this, but efficient operation is a road's best se curity. Efficient operation is best obtained by esprit among the workers. Esprit is inspired by wholesome guarantees and certain rewards. The Outlook Is Fine The spirit of brotherhood, is not the only quality sorely needed in these unquiet times. The spirit of good cheer is of very great im portance. Men who ought to know better, and who do know better, go around wagging their heads solemnly and predicting the direst things' for the country. We shall starve,' we shall freeze, it is coming to actral bloody war be tween labor and capital, the anarchists wilt get control, our nervous friends say. Now not one of these things or anything in the re motest degree like any of them is really going to happen.- America has been in infinitely worse holes than his and she has got out with surprising alacrity. The genius of Americann ism is too firmly grounded on sound common sense to let the tales of coming woe wc hear be anything but neurasthenic and ridiculous. This fundamental good sense will pull us out of our troubles in short order. It is the national quality which will send our idle men back to work, which will smooth out the dis agreements between employer and employed, which will hit anarchy a crushing blow on the head. The individual mental attitude is im portant, because, multiplied 100,000,000 times, it makes up the national state of mind, kvery individual can help a little to hasten the good times coming by forgetting; his fears and culti vating his confidence.

The most ambitious singer in the days of long ago was only known to auditors who came to see the show. He poured his voice upon air while others passed the hat or took th tickets at the door, and let it go at that. He never dreamed of singing to a pancake in a horn for men across the ocean or for children yet unborn. But miracles have come to pass. Victrolas are the thing to which the proudest artists are no more too proud to sing. The spasms of young Marguerite when Faustus jumps the town, the sobs of poor Aida as the stone is fastened down, the anvils and the" violin, the kettle drums and bells, all these are merely merchandise which George E. Mickel sells. He's led the public schools to see that rhythm is an - aid where students' minds arc opened for impre5ion to be made. They learn to do athletic stunts and operate ma chines, or analyze and synthesize with music as the means. They simply slip the records on Victrolas he provides and sweetly soak the lessons through their young and porous hides. And since those young and precious years have often gone to waste in studies planned and done with small efficiency or taste, we all should generously join in giving him applause in riotous collision of .our proud and honest paws, that children now can learn by means of music and romance what you and I were taught by force applied upon our pants.

' What's that?" asked the boy from the North Woods. "It is a secret order of the farm ers of this district" "What's a secret order?" "It is an organization of a number of people which has a secret ritual, secret siens, degrees, etc. You have heard of the Masons, Odd Fellows or Knights of Columbus. Well, the Grange is much like these, only dif ferent. These orders or lodges are largely for social purposes, although thev give other benefits. Any one can be chosen to belong to them. "But the Grange is made up only of farmers and their wives or per sons who are working along agri cultural lines. Nobody else can join. While the Grange aims to improve the social life of the farmer, it does other work as well. "The Grangers in their meetings talk over the problems of farming. Sometimes they have persons from state agricultural colleges or experi ment stations to talk to them on farm subjects. Sometimes they talk over general subjects not connected with farming. So, you sec, a part of the work of the Grange is edu cational." "Weren't you ordering some sugar from the Grange the other day?" "No, I was orderiug it through the Grange. The people in this Grange, as in many others, buy through the Grange. Sometimes we sell our products through it as well. Dealing this way in larger. quanti ties we are able to get better prices and to make better bargains. "The Grange goes into, politics now and then when some law is needed for the beuefit of the farm ers. It has never done, this very much, but when it has done so it has brought about very good re sults." Ey this time they arrived at the Grange hall. The grangers were very much pleased with the boy from the North Woods and insisted that he tell them something of the way farming was done among his people. , (Tomorrow Motlie.

Corporation Owning Stock in Other Corporations. C. T. Can a corporation own stock in another corporation where the articles of incorporation author ize the corporation to purchase stock in another corporation? Answer I believe that it can, although there Is a decision in this state that upholds to the contrary. I may state that if this question is properly presented to the court the decision would be reversed of modified for the reason that for many years a custom has grown up recognized . by the state officials whereby corporations have been per mitted to own stock in other com panies. I am assuming that the buy ing of uch stock is not for the pur pose of an illegal act such as creating a monopoly. Don't Neglect Your Nose Don't Neglect Your Nosej ever will have.
