Ham Lewis. Here is what the Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer, owned by Josephus Danials, has to say in a recent issue: s ; “There was a suspicion that Senator J. Ham Lewis, fine man that he is, was making a mistake in quoting so freely some time ago from Premier Clemenceau. The suspicion becomes a certianty with the premier represented as authority for the statement, ‘Premier Clemenceau’ cannot be held responsible for the uncontrolled statements of well-intentioned and honor- able visitors more or less familiar with the shades of difference of our language.’” - Premier Clemenceau certainly was very courteous m_the manner in which he administered the rebuke to the American senator. Quite likely President Wilson has a number of times felt like dismissing the Lewis interviews by saying some such thing as the premier has said, but he evidently did not find words in which to “gently reprove,” as the Daniels paper de- scribes it, without giving offense. Hereafter, President Wilson can utilize the Clemenceau expression and say that he “cannot. be held responsible for uncontrolled statements,” etc. 1Py IT MIGHT BE RIGHT AT THAT. i~ In the new draft law, whereby students may enter special courses, a dispatch from Washington calls atfention thgt the study of “psychology” should by all means he included in the making of a first class officer. » Sort of reminds us at the time the police ‘deparment of Chicago was placed under civil service, all policemen from the captain down being obliged to take the examniation. One of the questions, so report had it, was “How far is the moon from the earth?” One big burley “‘cop” who had traveled beat for some time answered, ‘‘Don’t know, but-far enough not to bother me if I can keep my job.” And we also wonder whether those young heroes we read P L about. in‘making ‘startling captures and performing wonderful -feats of daring received their war crosses and emblems from France and England for having been proficient in the study of psychology. ; ® 0. STATE SUFFRAGE LEADERS ARE APPRECIATIVE. The Minnesota Woman Suffrage association is appreciative of support of their efforts to securé a square deal in taking part in the affairs which concern their homes, their property, the government in whose hands their destinies lie. The Pioneer has not hesitated to urge the granting of the rights to which they are justly entitled and in a letter just arrived from head- quarters in Minneapolis are conveyed the thanks of the associa- tion to the Daily Pioneer. O+ WATER’S FINE! Former Adjutant General George A. White, of Oregon, who is now a major on the battle front in France, says the Rhine will be a fine swimming place for the A. E. F. And there are -a lot of us fellows “over here” who will regret some day that we did not have a chance to take the plunge in the waters of that stream. 3 o EXCELSIOR! Some papers seem disposed ‘to place upon Howard E. Coffin the responsibility for the aircraft fizzle and failure. But history will put the responsibility,higher up—much higher. Order To Stdb Paper ~ The War Industries Board at Washington has issued the following ruling: “ALL NEWSPAPERS MUST DISCON- TINUE SENDING PAPERS AFTER DATE OF EXPIRATION, UNLESS SUBSCRIPTION IS RENEWED AND PAID FOR.” Of course newspapers will be compelled to obey this order and must stop papers when the time is up. Subscribers receiving their paper by mail are hereby notified to watch the YELLOW LABEL ADDRESS which is pasted on the front page of your paper and which shows you the date your subscription expires. When the time of expiration approaches renew your subscription so that you will not miss a single issue. City subscribers, whose papers are delivered by carrier, will be notified by collector or through the mail of their expiration, and” we trust they will renew promptly, thus insuring continuous service.
