How does the school. boy’s breast swell and his eyes gleam ‘as he declaims these words from that wonderfully great though brief address of the soulful Lincoln, delivered on the Gettysburg battlefield! Does he really understand what they mean? Those soldiers who had worn the blue and the gray, aud whose bones were rotting in the soil of the cemeteries on or near that field, had given “the last full measure of devotion,” as they understood it. But does the declaiming boy understand it? The great Lincoln who spoke tho: wonderful words had been giving a full measure of devotion to his country for four long, agonizing years, during which he remained true to his ideal in spite of the censure of friends, the abuse of of- ficials, the lies and insults of enemies. And, in a few weeks, he gave “the last full measure of devotien,’ when with the expiring breath of life ended by the assassin’s bullet, he brought forth the ejaculation from one of his most severe cri- tics: “Now he belongs to the ages!” How many American boys, when the call came in shouted: “Yes, we will enl come on boys, we'll suve the country, it’s a great adventure, come on!” ‘They were the Peters of the times. They meant well, but did they understand those words, “the last full measure of devotion?” There were other boys who hesitated, said little, read all that was written, spent many a serious hour alone with their thoughts, often glanced, furtively, with suppressed tears, at mother and sister and finally, with blanched faces but with firm nerves, went to the enlistment rolls and signed. They were the Thomases of the times. They had some conception ef what it meant. They knew that when they said goodby to their loved ones and embarked for France it was more than likely that they never would return. But their minds were made up. They then and there gave a full measu of devotion, were pre pared for “The last full measure” if it were exacted 1917, Preventable Loss The most permanently successful range livestock producers provide adequate feed, water, and protection for their animals. They know that nature unaided cannot see their stock through the heavy storms and droughts: They realize profits by this policy of preparedness which it is possible to make general but just as child labor, the most expensive labor, still persists, so primitive livestock producers will continue to gamble with the elements until public pressure forces them to adopt new methods. “Ts it cheaper for me to make provision for my stock in case of drought or storms, or is it cheaper to take a chance on having starvation loss?” is the question which thousands of range stock producers are still asking themselves. Many are still choosing the latter alternative and playing a great gamb- ling game which the consumers of the United States are finan- cing. Aside from the economic waste involved, gambling with the lives of helpless creatures can hardly be considered good sportsmanship, There are, of course, not a few instances where well cared for range stock perish in sudden storms, but such losses are a small fraction of the total. Invades British Court Modistes and the smarter shops in London are showing dresses designed for the next courts at Buckingham palace. There is a radical change in design over the court train of former year Most of the models on view have extremely short skirts, ranging from ankle to knee length, No one ever expected to live long enough to see the short skirt invade the English court, but the short skirt has ently arrived. And what is more there is ficial regulation against it It is noted, that while the skirts of court costumes shrink ch shrink downwards, but remain e been amputated to conform ppar at present uno of upwards, the discreetly high a more nearly to skirt length, The next presentation may not be so picturesque but it is certain those introduced will find the getting about more comfortable and convenient, s do not cut. Veils Pendulum Swinging Back There is nothing academic about the publie reaction against the regulating zeal of congress and state, legislatures. Growing hostility to over-regulation is a very practical con- dition. Afte period of unparalleled industry in piling up constitutional amendments and subjecting citizens to all sorts vernmental interference, the pendulum is simply swing. ing in the opposite “direction, not always wisely, but with growing determinatio This state of mind on the part of the public naturally endangers some sound legislation, together with many u 1 proposals, and the public fare is apt to from one extren aS much as from th the other The blame rests on those who created the reyolt by loading the statute books and the constitution wih exces Foreign Language Decrease From 1900 to 1910 about one-half of the high school stu dents studied Latin. In 1915 the percentage dropped to thirty nine and in to twenty-nine per cent.

When the people of this respect our laws und pu offivials large and small be proper observance of thi To Hold Power has been completed by the Repub lican national committee, prepara- tory to the senatorial and congres- slonal campaigns next year. Conditions have been studied in thirty-five states, all indicating that the administration party will retain its majorities in the house and senate, possibly increasing the mar- gin in the lower branch. There {s not the slightest question in the minds of party leaders that the house will have a substantial majority, but there is some appre- hension regarding the senate situa- tion, due to the fact that twenty-six of the thirty-three senators who will be elected in 1926 are Republicans and that the seven Democratic senators who will seek office again represent states in the solid south. The belief is strong that the ad- ministration party must conduct an active campaign if It {s to retain ts present strength in the senate. States causing some. uneasiness are Indiana, Missour! and Iowa. Senator James E. Watson of In- diana, may have a hard contest for reelection, especially if Postraaster General New should decide to op- pose him. Such a fight would split the party wide open in the ‘state. There has been some talk of getting Will H. Hays to run against Wat- son. Senator Spencer of M our! is facing various factions of the party who oppose his renomination. Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa will seek re- election if*his alth permits. He is lkely to be opposed by Senator Brookhart, the LaFollette radical, whose close re-election last’ Novem: ber is being contested by ‘his’ Demo. cratic opponent. Brookhart’s move would indicate that he will lose his contested election case. The national committee 1s farther along with its work than tn previous years. It is in constant commtiinica- tion with its members, the chairman and members of. state committees and the various state leaders, not- withstanding {t 1s spending less money*than at any time in the last decade. The senatorial and congres- sional campaign committees are co- operating with it. While much de- pends on the accomplishments of congress next winter, it is believed that large pluralities will be rolled up in all the states. Election of Re- Publican senators and congressmen will be interpreted as an indorse- ment of the Coolidge administration, presaging Republican victory in the presidential contest two,years later. Promising Fireworks L. A. Van Patten, whose advertis ing agency 1s involved in a wrangle with the Democratic national com mittee over an advertising deal dur- ing the presidential campaign last year, has promised that “frework will be produced at the trial of the suits filed by both sides The Borah c: committee ou; cocked in*this matter.

Van Patten, Incor- porated, countered with a sult for claiming the agency spent above the original $50,000, and lost additional money as commission on a $600,000 contract, of which the committ expended only about $100,000. Taxes and Govern- ment Economy in the administration of the government can reduce enor- mously the cost of it, In other words, the cost of government is out of all proportion*to the service it gives and to the actual needs of ad- ministrative service. We have proof positive that inordinate A tion does not produce the revenue estimated and that a policy of jus As we have had re- jon to contend, there won the staute books nor can one be framed that can compel capital to for the governme’ under unjv mditions. .It cannot be made to do so even if a consti- tutional amendment forbids the tssu- ance of tax-exempt securities, cor capital will disappear when brutal- ly exploited for :revenue The oppost> me congress can devise a law which of itself create capital, Upto the present moment, it hae no greater power to do ‘that than it has to make men g00d by legisl tion.

This is not only the wise result to bring about but it is the only warrant government has for impossible taxation at all. It must itself be sparing with other people's money in maintaining its machinery and it must encourage in every concelvable way other people's money to seek employment in pro- ductive agencies. This {s only an- other way of stating that the gov- ernment exists for the people not the people for the government.

We ALL know that there has been an advance in the price of Coffee. Like everything else, it costs more now than it used to. But even at that, it costs you comparatively less than most of the other good things on your table. The price of Coffee today naturally seems high by com- parison with the price you used to pay. But compared with the present prices of other staples, Coffee is still cheap. What else can you buy for the same money that will last as long and bring you as much genuine enjoyment and pleasure? Yet Coffee makes the meal! As a matter of fact, Coffee for home use costs you just about 114 cents per cup. And this cost is only 1/20 or 1/40 or even 1/50 of the total cost of the average meal. ‘That isn’t very much, is itP JOINT COFFEE TRADE PUBLICITY COMMITTEE 64 Water Street, New York (By The ,Associated Press.}—Ad-|on, Dr. Enrique Molina, University: of last’ night Concepcion, declared that South Americanism becau: corrupted by the commercial tend- encies of the United States: He aleo asserted that Pan-Ameri-| us. canism and the Monroe doctrine had in’ fact the doctrine was a “dead letter”. “The idéal of, Pan-Americanism,” said Dr. Molina, “does not count South America. means for the United States to the doct union, which many intellectual ej approved— upon the support of ‘the masses of| Argentine and Chile also approver i oath ‘They view it with} aM {deal which, he sald, was r od skepticism, because they see it as a|!n the United States. right to maintain our- it was an ideal} selves ds such,” “yur the Monroe hegemony of the It 1s in fact has expired. been unable to exist side by side,| while Pan-Americanism at pres aaithey were contradictory and that| only a hope.” f ‘The Chilean educator favored introduction of an Iberian-American in Mexico and leaders in Dr, Molina is dead 1 te tries, They feel deceives ty tbe 1C’, & S.
