We imagine that no buck soldier, either here or beneath the Flanders tields, give* one hoot about all this, but as a nation of free men the rest of us are somewhat concerned over this proposed divi? lion of tbe graves of the soldiers in France. It is proposed to bury the officers in one set of plots, and the pri vates and non-coms in others. Certain of our high military minds may have revamped the scrip tures so they now. are assured of two separate and distinct resurrec tions. One on Friday for the officers, hours from eleven to three; and another/for the buck privates, early Monday morning following; aft er the last of the sacred spirits of the official caste have passed over '.he Styx and taken up their allotted abodes. Maybe they are going to have two or three distinct heavens for 'he various branches and personnel ol the service. And doubtless they don't worry about hell because in their judg ment most buck privates will go there, and any place a buck private is will be hell enough for the unfortunate shave-tail who misses the -norc ethereal officers' mess. Our opinion, and it is that of 99 per cent ?>f the American people, outside the War Department, is that the fight rg officer can be honored in no greater degree than to be buried ? the midst of the men who fought and died with him, and who fol ? wed him, or preceded ?.im, right up lo the gates of heaven with ?tit missing a step. And we imagine that the average worth-while officer holds with The buck private, doubtless, is not greatly worried over the offi <r'? absence from his private graveyard, in life he regarded officers s necessary, but none the less unmitigated, evils; and in death, if he ?others at all about it, he would just as soon they hid the gold laced entlemen, we believe they still use dress uniforms at military funerals nowhere else, as far away as possible. But as a nation standing for ideals of equality, of freedom, of ;iving every man his aue reward we can make no distinction in death .rtwecn officers and men; the officers, if they were good ones, were nen and the Great Father won't look for the commission papers when Se gathers heroes to his heart. Thefcdea that officers are a caste apart brought Germany most of 1er troubles; now is a good time to bury that impression, and in '.'landers is a good burial place. Thr President, too ill to labor, must nevertheless attend great -Julies because well and robust men have no sense of duty. What doth it profit us to make peace with Germany if we can't make peace amone, ourselves? Urn reason ?a hy we are short of sugar is because wr have been at -uch p.-.ins to see that Europeans were better supplied ihsn ever before in their lives. Art and Booze. Joseph Pennell, the illustrator, says that without alcoholic drink there will be no art or poetry in America. Three great American poets were drinkers and to excess. One of them was Edgar Allan Poe. I But all abstained for very long periods and did all theic work dur? ing a total state of sobriety. One of Poe's friends once said of him: "One drink with him was like hitting a fine Swiss watch with a hatchet." Another of this group said himself that a drink of whisky made any man witlj an imagination feel too good to do any work. Walt Whitman, and whom the wets may claim not to be a poet, was a drinker to a moderate degree in early years, but he was a physical giant and said that liquor had little or no effect upon him, ?rf? that he cared nothing for it. \ great American novelist and playright quit drinking at his -.odi year, wrote his drink confessions for a national magazine and has since done what all critics agree to be his best work. Hdwin Booth, tlie actor, was a periodical drinker in his early rareer, but like the three poets first mentioned, was incapable of any "-?ntal concentration after one drink of brandy. Three great American architects were drinkers One was an epicurean drinker who brought on a physical malady as the result of it and from which he died in the middle of a very brilliant career. The two others were periodical drinkers. One did his best and most important work previous to his ?2d year and before he became t drinker? The third was so unreliable in the matter of his engagements that he could not practice his art independently, but remained in the em ploy of other architects. While he personally designed many im portant structures in this country, including one of the two most successful buildings of the Chicago World's Fair, yet he never re reived fan public credit tor them. We ?re inclined to think that belief in drink as an aid to artistic production is a delusion. * Its effect on the quality of art is highly questionable and it has certainly added nothing to the quantity of art. You can tell this is a democracy by the fact that everybody not in authority knows precisely how the situation should be handled. There are two things you can da?<to help matters. You can keep your mouth very, very quiet, and saw wood like a house afire. Strange how all these Italian patriots gathered arms and troops for conquest without the knowledge of the government. Beauty and Brains. An eastern man asked a lot of New York women whether they'd ? alhrr be beautiful or clever. ^_ You know what their verdict was. Being clever they chose beauty. And the mere-man said: "I told you so!" That's how much mere man knows about, the subject under dis cussion. He believes, always has, and doubtless always will, that woman must be beautiful or clever. As a matter of fact she is clever and beautiful. Being beautiful doesn't make it impossible for her to be clever. Nor does the possession of brain power make her less beautiful. Some of the most famous women on the pages -of history were the most beautiful and the cleverest of their times. Oh, no. Mister Man, woman doesn't have to choose between beauty and brains! She can have both! > The story that 55 senators have agreed on a set of reservations ?s encouraging. We were beginning to think it impossible for -najority in .-Vmerica to agree on anything. .

LIQUOR LID IS ON; SENATE DEFEATS VETOBY WI.ISON C-ONTIX1JBD KROM PAGE OXK. motion by Senator Sterling, of ?South Dakota, ?mo was In charge of the bill, to have the veto message given consideration by the Senate. On this rull-i'Hll the Senate decided 43 to IS, to lav aside the treaty long enough to yote on the prohibition measure. Senator Unfferwoori ?aid the reason the President vetoed the bill was be ? ause tbe friends of nstion-wide pro hibition broke faith with the country. He said: Say? Dry? Brake Faith. "They proclaim??! to the country that, they were not In fsvor of the drastic destruction of private prop erty. Later they proposed to wilte Into the staune books nation-wide prohibition without waiting for the Constitutional amendment to take ef fect_They raised the < ry that the safety of th? young men in the army was menaced; the country sustained that etintention and Congress yield ed and passed the desimi legisla tion." Senator Underwood added that the Attorney General ia going ahead to enforce the war-time act. saying: "He is going ahead J?ist the ??me ! as if there would be no d?mobilisa i tion. The good faith of thia tranaac ; tion ?hould be carried out. The?e people in thia business should be ' ?riven an opportunity to wind up their , business and save their property. The Preaident Is right In saying there should be no clause for war-time pro hibition in the Constitutional en forcement measure." Senator Sheppard resented the charge that the prohibitionist? had broken faith In the mat ter, and insisted that there are no property righ?s In liquor. To this Senator Thoma? of Colorado/ replied that it was "the plainest principle of abstract justice to protect the owners of liquor against confiscation of their property." ? Phelsa Speaks. The charge of bail fsith was re peated l>y Senator Phelsn of Cali fornia, who said the prohibition amendment provided a year'? grace for the men In the liquor saisines? and this was taken away from them by the war-time prohibition enforce ment measure. He declared the per iod should not be abridged. Senator Spencer of Missouri insist ed that the necessity for war-time prohibition has ended and that Ihe President ?houli at one? declare the army demobilized. Senator Norrls of Nebraska took issue with Senator Spencer on this point and declared that the s-aj- Is technically ?till on. ?nd that the President hss no au tliorily to Issue a proclamation sus HOROSCOPE. ?
