PROTECT THE 'CONSUMER. In connmection with the surplus sup- ply of meat that the war department has on hand and the efforts that are being made to dispose of it, it cannot fall to be regarded as a move in the right direction when bids are being asked and it is declared that offers from states, municipalities or public institutions are especially solicited. It would have been far better if this course had been pursued first instad of restricting the sales to carload lots and thus making it practically impos- sible except for packers to partici- pate therein. But with the big pro- wvision dealers refusing to come any- where near offering what the geods are worth, or what the government paid for them, it is a commenuaswm course that is being followed in seek- ing to have the public imstitutions or even the public get the benefit. _The bacon, cormed besf and roast beet hash were intended for our sol- diers. 1t is therefore-of a quality that should be proper for general con- sumption or there should be a prompt Te P | for turn over certain leaders for punish- ment, there is a desire to know what is going to be dome with the former kaiser. At the present fime he is not in Germany. He is still in Holland where, according to the latest advices he is an unwelcomed guest with the country desiring tos be relieved of its responsibility. Inasmuch as the war is over he can hardly expect to remain interned in that country as a military prisoner, and as a refugee there must be a Hmit to his stay especially if Holland doesn't take kindly to the idea of harboring him. There have been indications that the allies would demand him of Holland, but it has been intimated that the Dutch would not be willing to turn him over to them, though they would be pleased to receive a request from Germany that he be sent back to that country. That of course would place him in touch with those in Germany who are still harboring pan-Germanic ideas and likewise in control of the government that has promised to turn over for punishment, those designated by the allfes. To' all intents and purposes Holland wants to get rid of him but wants to escape the responsibility of delivering him to the allied nations, and at the same time It cannot fall to appreciate that there is a responsibility resting upon its shoulders to see that he doesn’t escape, even though they are wishing he wasn't there. Many forms of punishment have been suggested for - him including sentence to St. Helena. but even St. Helena, as might be expected, doesn’t want him, but until it is determined what course is to be pursued and what is to be done with him the whole world will be kept on the anxious seat. He cannot be allowed to escape the penalty for the crimes he is respon- sible for. CLEANING UP A CITY. Many plans are worked out by dif- ferent communities for keeping a city clean, for ferreting out its unsightly and disease breeding places and see- ing that they are eliminated both for the benefit of the municipality’s ap- pearance and its health. Out in Indlanapolis the city health| department has hit upon the idea of enlisting the services of the police in this community work as the result of which the chief of police has been in- formed by the secretary of the health bbard that “An increased percentage of patrolmen taking an interest in this work is enabling the heaith de- partment to clean up Indianapolis and in assisting to keep it cleaner than it has ever been'’in the history of the city That speaks well for cooperative ef- fort. There can be no question but what the police are in a position through the close touch which they keep of conditions to be of great as- sistance in bringing to light many evesores which might otherwise re- main undisclosed, and the reporting of such conditions does not in the least interfere with their other duties. For the most part they are unquestionably xious to bring about the improved onditions when they find that atten- tion is given to matters that are re- ported. But it can give to make is not alone the police that aid to those who stand ready a city cleaner and healthier, each and every resident should be sufficiently interested t5 see not only that his own property is kept beyond complaint but that uther conditions that come to their attention should be reported. With a whole community working to such an end it ought not to be difficult to boast of a spotless town. EDITORIAL NOTES. The disposition to obey the law al- ways counts for much on the good be- havior record. Medicine closets have been estab- lished of course where none was ever thought of before. Signing the peace terms without burying the hatchet will not mean a troubleless future for Germany. We cannot help feeling that during all this prolonged lull that Villa is planning some cunning demonstra- tion. Though cool and delightful the last of June weather was not causing the people to flock to the seashore re- sorts. The man on the corfier says: The determination to make a success of each day relegates failure to the rear ranks. There has been enough stuff carried home so that there ought to be the kind of celebration on the Fourth to suit all tastes. ‘When Bethmann Hollweg states his willingness to stand trial in place of the former kaiser, or for him, it shows what slavery will do. From the liberties that the prison- ers enjoyed in the Nassau county jail on Long Island, it seems to have been more of a club house than a gaol. There is nothing at the present time to indicate that there will be any peace terms signed at Toledo. Neither has announced that he is too proud to fight Now that our fleet in the Pacific has been increased there will be enough warships on that side to guide the aviator who is willing to attempt the flight to Australia or Japan. Postmaster General Burleson has announced the millions that have.been turned into the treasury by his de- partment, but if the country could get the service it pays for there'd be more to crow about.

Alarmed mental scurryings as to fitting conversational topics were evident on her rosy countenance. “Well,” began the fraternity man, “what are your troubles this morn- ing? Freshmen ' constantly have troubles—it goes Wwith the state in life. A freshman without a griev- ance wouldn't be a freshman. What is spoiling your young life now?” “Oh!” began the pretty freshman, it's fine here! Only I'm on my way to the English class and I'm scared to death because I haven't looked at a book. I went to a dance last iight instead of studyiii.” “Good!” said the fraternity man, enthusiastically. “I'm glad to' find that you are a real human being. So many freshmen mazke the mistake of thinking that the real thing about college is study. I'll bet you are a fine dancer. Whom do you have in English—is he by any chance a trifle deat? “P'rof. Bigss,” answered the fresh- man ‘and from right here he could hear a pin—drop in the New York subway. Why?! “Too bad,” mused the Sighta Side man. “Maybe helll turn deaf or something before you get there, and i he does you can work the same scheme that used to save our lives when we had Roddles in that ter- rible math course. If I was called on and didn’t know anything I _aroge with a bright and cheerful counte- nance aglow with information, and made my lips move. Then some one of the chaps behind me would shout out the answers and Roddles never knew the difference. “Still, there was the time I got up and nobody shouted and it was a day when the ‘prof’ was hearing quite well. I had to say something, and it seemed to affect him pecularly. I got Z on that course just because of that reci- tation. Recitations are terrible things and to be avoided wherever possible. Was it a nice dance?’ “Perfectly grand,” said the pretty freshman. ~ “I don’t see that you are much help to me. If I had known about it when I entered I could have picked out an ngl course with a lecturer hard of hearing. Besides, I have history next period and I dide n't prepare that, either. I don’t know backs,” admitted the tall Sighta Side man. ‘It is so bard to make them un- derstand the many demands on a freshman’s time. Now, when I was ' freshman and my father made that Sumous old speech about good money thrown away on my education I handled the situation firmly. I told him things had changed since his day and that he simply It seemed to view because held his head to_hand 'em new Mn‘lly. “But my fater isn’t at all that kind,” objected the freshman. = “He never| groans, he just storms.

He is still using the steps he learned three years ago in high school. Still, Tom is a nice boy. “What is your favoritte—-" gym,” persisted the pretty freshman. “I've cut six classes so far and today I forgot to bring my suit, and Miss Leafgreen is so cross at me, anyway— and swimming is such a ‘sulsance— my hair—" “You have pretty hair.” Sighta Side man judiciaily. “T don’ wonder you hate to get it wet, It's ridiculous to expeet you to waste time swimming in a tank when there are so many other things to do. They certainly ought to let you rest up for dancing. » Tell me, what good is it §0- ing to be to in future years to know the date of the big explosion in medieval history 2" “Not one single scrap of good!” de- clared the pretty freshman indignant- ly. “My, but it does seem fine to run across a human being with sensible ideas like yours!” “I_haven’t told you half of them.” the Sighta Side man assured her. “Say, dont go to that old English class and: shiver yourself into a chill. Let's go have a chocolate frappe. i want to tell you about a dance I want to take you to.” “I believe I will cut Biggs' said the class!” what my family would do if I flunked | agreed the pretty freshman with a anything.” sigh of relief. “How you do clear “Families are tremendous draw-!things up!"—Chicago News. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR |2 5004 salad than vad meat . . -But A Little Inquiry. Mr. Editor: I should like to inquire if the compelling of the seventh and eighth grade pupils to come to a cen- tralized_junior high school every day, some of them coming two miles to | school—with daily carfare—will tend 10 increase or decrease the number of pupils? Sending the pupils to the congested part of the city it seems to me might | increase personal hazard as well as cxpense, which naturally might tend to decrease the number in these classes, With a 34 1-2 mill tax it is of little consequence if we build a $250,000 schoolhouse and add permanently only one more mill.
