That Secretary Lansing should lleave the president’s cabinet did not. cause much surprise. It had been \intimated for some time that his res- ‘ignation might be expected. On the iother hand there was surprise in the fact that the resignation was re- quested ard that it was sought on the ground given In the claim that his calling of the cabinet members together was usurp- ation of the duties of the president it shows 2 hignly sensitive and entire- 1y unjustified attitude on the part of the president, who apparently gives no comsideration to the necessity of having the nation's welfare looked mfter during his incapacity. Not be- ing able to look after the duties that devolve upon him and not doing any- thing to meet the situation as mat- ters of more than ordinary import- ance arose, it was no more than should have been expected that there! should be satherings of the cabinet members to determine what should be dome to keep the ship of state Zoing and headed right. Instead of being censured for such action it was something for which he should have been commended, and that it is be- leved will be the attitude of the country. That, however, the whole story of the president’s action, and that which lies back of it. has mot been toldf seems probable. That it may have hag its beginning at the peabe con- ference, when the secretary of state is known to have held different views than the president is not improbable. The president of course has the right to select his own cabinet and to make changes when he desires. But when he seeks to make changes on the ground that a member has heen' meeting an emergency created by they president’s physical inability to measure up to his own job he can- not expect that he is going to find the country approving his extraordi- nary action. On the other hand to have his resignation asked for under such circumstances will reflect no discredit upon Secretary Lansing. But why he should be made the goat when the whole cabinet participated, and that no protest came when the president knew all the time that the meetings were being held and what Wwas being done is what increases the astonishment - CLEARING THE STREETS. In many cities in this part of the country the problem of getting rid of the great amount of snow in order to permit travel through the streets has been encountered. Many sugges- tions have been offered and many plans bave beer tried, flame throw- ers ang streams of water being em- ployed in some instances, but the plan that brings the real success is the carting away of the snow and ice. That this clogging of the streets should cause so much trouble is due to the fact that it occurs so infre- quently that only temporary meas- ures for dealing with it can be put in- to operation. It is just a case of go- ing at it with pick, shovel and teams ang as large a number of men as can be employed and keep the fight up untll the situation is relieved. There are not mary winters when there is such trouble 2s has been ex- perienced this year. Either the Storms are less severe or else the ac- cumulations of one are gotten rid of before another comes, but this winter it bas been 2 steady piling up of one snow and ice storm after another. Where trolleys have been able to open up their_lines they have furnished a lane of fravel for vehicles until it be- comes necessary to turn out, on sin- gle lines, for cars or teams going the other way. The real trouble comes of course in the business section where streets are narrow and into which are thrown the smow and ice from the sidewalks on either side which in some instances amount to sbout as many more cubic yards as originally fell in the street. Such streets are naturally impassable Wvhen a car line runs through the center until they have been cleared. 014 Sol Will do it in time but an m- patient people is not disposed to wait After an extremely stormy period, pears that Admiral Kolchak, the Jeader of the Russian anti-bolshevik forces in the east, after suffering re- peated defeat has been killed, and thus ends the career of one of the Rassians who was trying to bring or- out of chaos. ‘There was mmch fatth placed in the chak. For a time he appeared to be able to get a large following for the govermment that he erganized and to establish a unity § \factions. and the_general distrust of, in stroying his government but they were not satisfied until they had eliminated him completely. Admiral Kolchak made a hard fight for the retrieving ‘of Ruesia but he lost through his inability get and maintain control where he had set up his government. - His execution though unwarranted is only what might be expested under revolution- REPORTS. It is with Interest that it is noted that the revenue collector for this district bas again decided to send representatives into the gifferent cit- ies and towns for the purpose of ad- vising those who must pay income taxes relative to the filling out of theif bianks. There are those who have gone through the experience in past years who should consider them- selves as fully posted unless they are confronted with new conditions aris- ing since the last report, but there are doubtless new payers of this tax, as well as many others who are not familiar with such work. even in its simplest detail, who will require the aid of those who can be rated through their experience and knowl- edge of the law as experts in such matters, it “is important in conmection with the making out of the income tax re- ports that it should not be delayed until the last day. The thmg to do is to make an early start' just as soon as possible after the instructors get here. Carry your problems to them, get their advice or let them as- sist in the figuring, but it is quite important that those to be helped should not appear all at one time so that there would be a waiting list while at other hours of the day the deputies would be waiting around with nothing to do. Heretofore there has been buf one instructor named here and his work especially during the evening hours was increased as the last day was approached. It can therefore be ap- preciated that the appointment of two this vear will do much to relieve the rush, bu. even with two there still remains the fact that better at- tention is bound to be given to those Wwho come early and keep from creat- ing a crowd. It is bound to be more satisfactory to all eoncerned to avoid the cohfusion that always attend the cleventh hour efforts. THE PUBLIC WELFARE. Ever sinfe the effort was made a few months ago to include the whole country in a coal strike and make it suffer all sorts of inconveniences and nardships as the result thereof eyes havé been directed toward, Kansas Where prompt steps were taken to op- pose such a thing and prevent it in the future, The governor of that state took over the mines and work- ed them until legislation was passed by the assembly requiring continuity of service where the public’ interest is involved, and seiting up an indust- rial court for dealing with such dis- putes. The determination of the miners to fight the legislation and after it was passed to strike in protest quickly ended. In connection with the recent call of, the railroad men for a strike there has been a conference of the officials and Governor Allen of Kan- sas which has resulted in a deter- mination to submit to the law and the industrial court, ' rather than fight the law in a state where it was declared by the governor that ‘“the laws of Kansas will be enforced” Since this decision in Kansas it has been decided to Indefinitely post- pone the strike everywhere. This fol- lowed the conference with President Wilson and the expectation is that the claims will be submitted to the board which it is hoped will be cre- ated under the pending railroad leg- islation. But in view of the success accom- plished in Kansas where the public welfare is carefully protected -there appears to be no reason why there should not be similar protection in other states, or in fact in the whole country tnrough federal legislation, Public welfare is something whiclf has gotten a cold shoulder in the past, whether capital or labor insti- gated lockouts or strikes. The Kan- sas law brings it from darkness to light and looks to a sensible adjust- ment of labor troubles. Justice to all concerned is only what should be sought in any case.

Better than acfds is rotten stone ang oil, if the brass is very dark; or any one of several brass polishes: or a chemically treat- ed brass polishing cloth, Brass clean- ed with ammonia tarnishes again much more quickly than if polished by friction.

There is a difference between the vaturally chunky person —who has; harq fat and the watery fat type. It! is just as natural for some people to be ‘stout as it is for water ‘to be wet. But such persons are said to carry their fat well. That is, while they are plump they are solid and shape- ly. These people are hard to reduce because their flesh is hard and even though they perform very long and difficult activities they reduce but lit- tle. The type of fat that should worry one is the soft, useless, shape- less kind that really amounts to an effliction. This kind of fat is due to inactivity and overeating of starches| and swegts. The shortest road to normal for such people is to abstain completely from starches and sweets. CARING FOR CUT GLASS. Cut glass requires great care. Ex- tremes of temperature will set deeply | cut pieces to cracking and cause| breakage. It's always well to wash cut glass in warm water ang rinse in water nearly the same temperature. Soap suds brings out the sparkle and colors in the glass. Be sure that the articles to be washed are reason- ably near the temperature of the wa- ter. To plunge a cold water glass into even moderately hot water will prove disastrous. - Pieces not in con- | stant use are better it wiped from the sudsy water without rinsing,.as the luster of the glass is somewhat dulled ; by clear water. A soft brush is ex- | cellent for washing, as it gets down into the deeply cut pattern as & cloth cannot. SCOTCH PLAIDS IN TIES. Reports emanating from manufac- turers of men's neckwear tell of & good duplicate business in the novel- ties in Scotch plaid scarfs that were recently -introduced by the retail]| trade. All of the various Scottish clans are represented in the plaids used in the ties in question, many of which lend quite a garish air to the wearer's appearance.

Accordion plaited dresses are going to be worn a great deal. Many of the latest creations of the Paris dress- makers are treated im this way and it: seems sure that the spring fashions will continue this vogue. cordion plafts are just as mueh employed on Mntm.: o’r‘hl‘lm'-madel of serge as on of taffeta, sati chiffon, voile de laine or silk. In some gowns the entire skirt consists of deep flounces, in others of one single flounce made 'In flimsy material and shorter than the underskirt, which is seen through the transparency. The bottom of coats can be plaited in this way. Coat dresses may be ar- rariged - with eeveral cross plaits, showing a plain band down the front. Sometimes the skirt will have the front and back plaited and. the sides plain, and at other times the con- trary is the case. 'With skirts the ef- fect 1 achieved without it being nec- essary t¢ sew one plait fold to one not plaited; it seems that the skirt is first of all plaited all oyer, then the parts ;1-&t pressed. out which are to remain at. In ‘the same way flower petals are formed, plaited in the middle and flat at the edges, the iron not only effacing the plaits but slightly stretching the material, giving a sort of undulating movement to_the edges which lightens the whole effect. In pale pink satin this would look charming, fresh and youthful, The trimmings worn in the olden days, consisting of little plaited jabots, ruched and plaited collars, are bezin- ning to make their appearance, With this fact beforé us. we are almost sure to see many of these delightful old- fashioned ideas. SKIRT LENGTHS VARY. __The controversy over skirt lengths is as much a matter of interest today as at the beginning of the season, this unquestionably because more fuel to the fire is continually being added—in that new models continue to be df all lengths and all widths. SKATING BLOUSES. Skating blouses, warm enough to wear without a coat. are of checked angora, deeply bordered at the hip Wwith white angora and finished with scarf collars of the white angor.

BRACELETS AND SHORT SLEEVES Since Paris persists in making us wear short sleeves, the bracelet has taken o~ a new lease of life.

Oyster Soup: An excellent cream soup of oysters is made by _heating one quart of oysters in their liquor, with enough cold water added to make 2 quart of broth. When the boiling point is reached rub the oysters through & sieve until fine, pour the uor over the pulp and set aside ‘where it willkeep warm. Blen dtwo ounces of butter with two , of flour and stir until it bubbles briskly. Add one quart of hot milk gradually and when smooth add the oysters and the! liquor.

Vegetable Soup: One recipe for veg- etable soup without meat stock is this: Boll three quarts of water and add to it a cupful of chorpe\i oniéns and the same amount of minced turnip and minced carrot, four cups of shred- ded cabbage, a chopped leek and two tablespoons each of minced celery and minced green pepper. Boil rapidly for twelve minutes and then simmer gent- ly for an hour. Then add two toma- toes or two cups of canned tomatoes and two cups of raw potato sliced. Cook for another hour and then add two tablespoons of butter, two or three soup at any time during the cooking. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Avoid What The Reds Applaud. Mr. Editor: In your journal under date of the 11th inst, Albert Board- man seeks to answer a previous-com- munication over the signature of the undersigned. Mr. Boardman attempts to bolster up his case by quoting part of a speech made by Frank L. Cobb, editor of the New York World. Mr. Cobb's js just the sort of talk that suits the enthusiastic radical down to the ground. The very meagre re- gard which we have felt up tol the present for the tone of Editor Cobb’s lecture on the “conscription” of the press for war purposes by the gov- ernment, is not a bit enhanced when | we find this lecture which he has been giving before more or less radi- cal audiences eagerly reduced to cold type and circulated by the New Re- publia. ‘“For five years there has been no free play of public opinion in the world,” blandly announces Editor Cobb, curiously failing to give rec- ognition to the fact that the whole outcry of the moment is that the fine play of public opinion is altogether too fine for a red-blooded American’s peace of mind! e i Editor Cobb is absolutely sincere in what he says. There is no doubt whatever of hig propriety of inten- tion. ,But it remaine a very signifi- cant fact that his words find their chief favor in the sight of the New Republic, — and all similar species. “Government suppressed the truth; government distorted the truth; go ernment lied glibly and magnificent- ly,” pursues Mr. Cobb. That may be even so—when suppressing the truth, distorting the truth and lying glibly was absolutely necessary; but -The New Republic rolls these words of de- nunciation as a sweet morsel under thel tongue, for one such loves to hear how, in support of the most wicked war in human history, the “goyernment” did all sorts of nasty and arbitrary things. Hence the great applause comes chiefly from the| radical gallery—despite the New York editor's earnest effort to prove that he is'not playing to that gallery at_all. . “What I have said is not a plea for; the new radicalism, for to me most of this new radicalism is the very negation of political and _economic sanity.

There is infinitely less danger of America’s being Prussianized than there is of its beinz Russianized. The difference is a strongly marked one—that be- tween having an absolute master, and acknowledging no master at all. The latter delusive doctrine of the pro- letarian is being preached—and Brother Cobb unwittingly helps it along by disseminating ideas that -the government unduly conscripts its newspapers, or silences free debate. Of that species of talk we .hear too much from the downright reds, with- out adding to their number men like Mr. Cobb, who must hasten to assure erty, for the restoration of the free us that they are not reds at all.
