PREROGATIVES OF WAR. | HE EVENING WORLD of Jast Monday, in an editorial on T Congress, stated certain academic facts which should not be made applicable to our Nation at war to-day. | War is an emergency in which a people can prove itself worthy of democracy only by its capacity for voluntary self-subordination | to a centralized and supreme authority. | > The founders of our Constitution knew this well, and therefore they made the President Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, | thus making him alone responsible for the conduct of war, and leaving it to Congress to provide the legislation required by him for the euccessful prosecution of the war. During this crisis of war Congress, therefore, is and in practice | necessarily must be not a co-ordinate but a willingly subordinate | branch of the Government. The present Congress has nothing to be ashamed of in its record of compliance with the President’s requests. That is a record not sof subservience to the President but of service to the country. It is| chiefly in its record of non-compliance that it has cause for reproach. | Congress exercised its independent judgment and its free will in deviating war. The Senate will exercise its independent judgment and its free will in making peace. But while battle rolls on to vie- tory the fundamental law of the land and the living instincts of its people demand that the Congress of the United States uphold the President of the United States in his direction of the war. EN OGE «SF ES Pity that the State political campaign should have been snuffed out by @ sneeze, but such seems to have been the case. The influcnza spolled what should have been an interesting contlict, The result is now up to the ladies, ‘ ep SMOKED OUT. for a Democratic victory in next month’s Congressional elec- tions, we are bound to observe that the response which that appeal has called forth from those against whom it\was directed has| proved a powerful argument in ite favor. It has dragged into the clear light of day all the covert malig- nancy and envy which has been hitherto hissing in obscurity, coiling to strike. When, in the closing days of a political campaign, the President was taking for granted that the Nation was supporting him in such fundamentals of his policy as his fourteen principles, while ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt was telegraphing Republican Senatdrs that “many eud probably most of these fourteen points are thoroughly mischiev- ous,” there was danger of a vote cast in ignorance of its own future * misinterpretation, Now that @ol. Roosevelt couples his denunciation of the four- teen points with invective against the “insolence ° bd ° the self-sufficient ignorance ° s *, the obscure pur- poses and wavering will of Mr, Wilson,” and places him in the class wot “the mex of cold heart who do not fight themselves, whose nearest | kin are not in danger, who prepared for the war not at all, who helped wage the war feebly, and who are content with a craven peace,” the anger is removed from the situation, for the American people can, +pee the issuo clearly on which it must pass its verdict at the polls. | “Yeaves off b dent of the United States with mendacity, much again becomes clear to a people challenged to determine next Tuesday before the eyes of |t ygteat Chief Magistrate or to a common liar. } paramount issue will inflict on those Republican candidates who have || -ably and honorably upheld the hands of the President in Congress. | They are the victims of a man who disrupted his party for h selfish ambitions in the past and is ready to disrupt his country for : ‘them now. ; —_————_-4-2______.

HE old rule about “early to bed and early to rise” 1s an excellent one, It always has been, But, like many splen- did rules, it does no good unless it is carried out. Children should be taught to ‘retire ip the evening at a regular hour. The sooner your child learns ‘to do this the better it will be for him. Let us take a typical case, A father writes to me: “Our four-year-c . daughter fre- quently refuses to be undressed for bed, If we try to jcke and laugh and tell little stories and play with her while trying to get her undressed, she till will fight and works herself all up into @ nervous condition, When we spank her ehe generally gives right up, but we have to repeat the ame process 8o frequently.

Verily, verily, when I was a child I thought as @ child, and unto me the bitterest of all words was the word “Mustn’t!” And when I was a damsel I dreamed as a damsel, and unto me the most dreaded of all words was the word “Spinster!” But now that I am a wife I underajand as a wife, and all my sufferings are the sufferings of a wife—and lo, unto me the miost frightful of all words under the sun is the word “WHER! Behold, the days of a married woman are filled and her ears are blasted by their repetition! For the Love Song of an Husband is an cternal chant, and its every verse beginneth “Where!” “Where are my clean socks and my other cuff-links?” “Where dost thou keep the towels?” “ “Where hast thou secreted the morning paper?* “Where in heaven didst thou HIDE my hat “Where didst thou bury the book I was reading?” “Where are the hammer and nails—and the ladder, and the wrench, and the picture wire?” “Where did I lay my watch?” “Where in the name of Mike is the cigarette I just put down?” “Where didst thou put my old slippers (or shoe-trees, or golf-sticks, er pipe, or tobacco, or pen, or eye-dropper) ?” “Where can I find a piece of court-plaster (or the adhesive tape, or per- oxide, or liniment, or cough-drops, or matches) ?” “Where did I leave that letter “Where've you seen my razor-blades?” * “Where the deuce is my eye-shade?” “Where shall I hang this wet raincoat?
