The proposed five year program for the n*Tj, now before congress, ties up the American pet* pie for five years by contracts made this year In heat and under pressure. Secretary Daniels defends this on the grounds of economy, because he can save a million or two by "planning ahead.” In doing this he spends $68,000,000 more than we spent last year. This Is an unprecedented action in our demo cracy. It reminds one of the method adopted by the German emperor 15 years ago to checkmate the pacifist sentiment among bis people, leaving them helpless before a 20-year program. The amount asked for this year is $217,653,173, with the pace kept up for five years. During the five years before the war, Germany In her utmost attempt to overtake Britain, spent only $546,454,803 on her navy, about half what we plan to spend. We, ourselves, spent in the same period, 9653,- 869,371 —more than Germany. Admirals Fletcher and Badger, our highest au thorities, testify that our navy “need not fear Germany's.” Generals GoethaJs. Weaver and Crosier, our highest authorities on coast defenses, testify that these are practically impregnable. Do you want to be committed to pay for this five-year program? If not write to your congressman, care of the House of Representatives, at once. The Carnation and the Pink. The florist's boy brings to your front door a bunch of handsome carnations, the pink, white and'crimson showing through 'he waxed paper. But you must step out into tne garden to see their cousins, the hardy pinks. Pushing out new leaves from their sturdy stalks before the frost has gone, they will bloom for you all summer long, shedding a wild, sweet fragrance that only the sun. the earth, and the air can give. They will live through the blasts of winter if you but give them a blanket of leaves. They will yield you seeds in abundance which in two years will become hardy plants like their parents that you can pass on to your friends. It is not too late to plant them now. The carnation is like a woman who lives in her apartment, her electric, the shops, the beau ty parlor, the thegter, the case. But the pink 1s like the woman whose feet touch the good earth, whose hair is kissed by the sun. from Another Point ot View By C. T. S.

ADDINGTON BRUCE Author of “Th* Riddle of Personality,” "Psychology and Parenthood." etc Have you ever noticed how envi ous. disagreeable, and maliciou.-- mlnded an Idler usually is? This Is a fact worth emphasizing, especially as a warning to all who entertain the absurd notion that a workless existence is desirable. The truth is that a workleas ex istence is commonly identical with a worth leas one To be sure, envy is not always absent from those who work. But among workers as a class it is infl nitely less in evidence than among chronic idlers. Among idlers It Is almost always present, whether they be poor Idlers or rich idlera. The loafer on the street corner or in the saloon, and the loafer lounging in the cushioned chair of some “exclusive" club, are equally addicted to the vice of envy. You have only to listen to their conversation to verify this for your self. Covertly or openly. In coarse language or refined, they delight in “knocking.” The reputations of others suffer sadly from their caus tic tongues. To produce this unpleasant state of mind In Idlers two main causes are at work, one physical, the other mental. The physical cause Is found in the lowered tone of the nervous system, n lowering brought on or intensified by the habit of avoiding sustained effort. When n man persistently Idles It Is Impossible for bis nervous system to keep up to par. It weakens, just as unused muscles grow week. Thence result almost constant feelings of fatigue, uneasiness, and uervous irritability. These feelings may manifest themselves in various physical and mental symptoms, one of which Is the development of an envious, jealous mood. The development of such a mood Is also promoted by a distinctly mental factor —the conscious or sub conscious appreciation by the Idler that he is aot playing n man's part in the world, and oonsequently is Inferior to more energetic men. This feeling of Inferiority he nat urally reseats. He hates to acknowl edge It to himself, and endeavors There la always the poaaibillty that Illness may follow the eating raw pie aa a rule pre fer cooked pork, but there are many who. perhspe unknowingly, con some pork In an uncooked condi tion either In the form at raw ham or uncooked sausage*. / The disease known aa trlchtaoiis. which may result Pom eating raw pork la eaueed ks certain roand worms called tliAinae.

His teadency to gossip, to dwell on the misfortunes and faults of others, and in general to display a mo** qr less malicious and envious cast of mind, is accordingly what psychologists would call a defense reartion. This fact does nor m the least excuse it. At most It can move us only to a contemptuous pity for the man whose Idling ways have made him And it necessary to develop this sort of reaction as a prop for his •.elf respect. Pitying him, we should ourselves be Inspired with a fervent purpose not to bring on ns his sad fate by imi'ating him in his idleness—espe cially since envy is only one of nu merous unpleasant mental traits to which a life of idleness tend* to give rise. Praying lor Hughes The situation with respect to the Republican presidential nomination does not change except in the direc tion of narrowing the choice down more and more closely to Hughes and Roosevelt. The possibility of a third man grows Increasingly less. The position of the Republicans who have been for Root can be stated in the words In which the New York “Tribune," the leading Republican dally paper in the United States, came out for Roosevelt: Th«* Tribune regards Senator Root. Its favorite so lon* as he had a chance of nomination, as now prac tically eliminated. The party thinks that Mr Root would not be so likely to win as either Col H*K>se velt or Justice Hushes, and it wants him as secretary of state In the neat Republlcsn administration, since it cannot have him as president. We are for Col. Roosevelt because we believe the country needs him No one else will quicken the pulse of the nation as he will quicken It- No one else will stir the conscience of the people as he will stir It.

IF I WERE KING. ■V DR. FRANK CRANK (Copyright. 191$. by Frank Crane) If I were king, absolute in power, able to make and enforce such laws us I please, 1 would: 1. Make all i>ersons over twenty equal in every respect before the law. Women should have precisely the same rights and legal privileges as men, including voting and holding office. 2. Have but one source of government revenue, but one tax, that on land. 3. Base the money of the nation upon land, and not upon gold or any other fluc tuating commodity. 4. Set a time, say in thirty years from now, at which there should he absolute free trade, and gradually lower all tariff! toward that time. 5. Recognize alcohol as a habit-form ing drug and regulate it under exactly the same restrictions as the sale of opium or heroin is now regulated, so that it could be procured only by the prescrip tion of a physician, who would be held responsible for its use or abuse. 6. Require every child in the land to attend the public school until of age, at public expense, and prohibit the em ployment of children in any gainful occu pation. so that not one untrained and unequipped boy or girl should enter citi zenship; and further ordain that the school should teach each child some trade or calling by which to earn a living. 7. Organize an army in which every boy and girl, from the age of nineteen to the age of twenty-one inclusive, should be employed in public service, such as river and harbor improvements, desert reclamation, road anti bridge building, the making and handling of machinery, and the like, with the triple view of train ing them for individual efficiency, pre paring a body of soldiery suitable for public defense, and conserving and im proving the country's natural resources. 8. Provide absolute safety for bank depositors by taxing all banks to make good the failure of any one of them. There would then be no failures. 9. Propose to the other nations of the world the formation of one International Court, to have at its disposal one Inter national Police force, allowing no nation to have an armed force greater than is necessary for police purposes within its own borders; and I would set aside one !tenth of all government resources for the furtherance of this propaganda. 10. Have all voting to be done by mail, managed by the postoflice, under due re strictions. 11. Make ethical training (not reli gious) the first requirement in educa tion. 12. Abolish the Fahrenheit thermome ter, the present calendar (substituting one of thirteen months), und all systems of weights and measures and money ex cept those that are decimal. 13. Abolish all punishment and all criminal courts, substituting commissions of psychologists who should determine, not what should be done to a wrong doer to satisfy public resentment, but what should be done to cure him of bis defect and to protect society from his peculiar perversion. 14. Confiscate by taxation all inheri tance in excess of SIOO,OOO. using the funds thus obtained for the public schools, to give other children a chance. 15. And having done all these things I should skip out between two days and take to the woods for fear of being ac cused, tried and beheaded as an anar chist, socialist, single-taxer, crank, fa natic, traitor, an 1 enemy of the people. AMERICA AND NORWAY. A development of greater commercial relations with Norway la helng urged upon the people of the United States. In disrobing the mstter It has been discovered Mint there is more then a mere trade argutr*n? m the subject, but that It has a direct sentfmen’al Interest to a large number of persons residing In the United States. It Is stated by Or. Pratt, of the department of commerce, that there are certainly half aa many Norwegians In the United States as there are In the fatherland, nnd what Is more remarkable they own six times as much farming land as do those w hom they have left In Norway. It Js esti mated that the property owned by Norwegians In the country is equal in vnluc to the total wealth of Norway. This In Itself Is an excellent reason for further developing the trade relatlona between this great part of our population and Norway. And In considering how we may most effectively build up our trade we should con sider carefully not only what we may sell to Norway, but what Norway has to sell that wo can buy. The Norwegian merchant marine, according to the population of the country. Is the largest In the world. Thus for every 100 persons in Nor way there are 104 tons of merchant shipping, In Kngland before the beginning of the war, the amount was frtrty-tW’o tons; In (let-many seven tons, and In the United States the Insignificant amount of six tons. The trade with Norway was and Is practically in the hands of Kngland and Germany, as of the exports from Norway the United Slate* take* about 9 per cent, and ws furnish them with only (5 per cent, of the im ports. Os the latter petroleum makes up s con ildersble part, and the other items htc cotton and wool, and the manufacture of those articles, Iron and tobacco.— Oil City Dorrlck.
