Sampaign issues, we note, are usually made for campaigns. The political pot is boiling so hard it is spilling all over itself. "Weary Willies' are anything bateeary when a square meal is i6 sight. T The field of journalism con tains a few fournals and a lot of waste paper. We'ghing your words is all right, provided they are worth weighing. War still wages at the front in Europe and over the back fence in America. There are so many crooks in the road of life that most people prefer to cut the corners. Sunshine-is nealthv, but the shady spot of a tree is darned comfortable on a hot day. "Most people act natural while asleep," avers an exchange Including, we might add, the snore. We are frank to admit that dead men tell no tales. but a lot of tales are told about them af ter they are dead. The ass that brays is not half so assinine as the one that makes suggestive remarks about women on the public streets. Counting chickens before they are hatched is a pleasant pas time, provided they do not croak in the pipping. A city exchange displays prom inently a calumn entitled, -"Where Club Wowen Are." Hu man beings are not mentioned. It is hard for a 22 calbre bullet to penetrate the hide of an ele poant, or for patriotism to gzet beneath that of the average American financier. A few citizen soldiers who thought they were going to the border on a picnic are now mnak ing a picnic of themselves in their efforts to get back. Former Governor Hanly of Indana has been placed by the Prohibitionists among the no tables who have been notified of their nota' ility. He survive d the shock. V EN A FELLOW KNOWS IT ALL. There are but few country towns in existence but what have -some one at more persons who "know it all." That is. they fondly imagine they know it all and most people give them cred it for being better posted on ev erythmng and everybody than their neighbors are. But are they? The fellow who is a "k~now it al" is also most generally a free talker. He trades information for information, gossip for gos sip, and scandal fer scandal. Thus it is that he is often able to impart certain unimportant information to his associates in a "strictly confidential mnanner' giv'g the impression that he has been in close touch with the - powers that be.I But when you siK it down he -has simply passed along. withl embellishments of his own. in for mation that is more or less of a publhc nature, ann which would have reached the nublic in the1 usual routine in the~ cour~se of a few days. As a matter of fact, the know it all man seldom knows in ad-. vancee of the really important af fairs of life or of the commercial world, for no one cares to imf part such information to the ane who knows it all and tells all he knows. Dornot tie to the man who knows it all, for in alt probabil ity he kno lne than ou. FAY1NG OTHER PEOPLE'S BILLS. When you contract a bill in o:mnerciai life you pay the debt ind do not asic others to pay it orl Y .u. ihe sawe, lowever, can not :e said of congress or tl- gv-I ?rnment of the United States. Their are thousands of men :erg in the National Guard r'egimnts OH tile border wih have left fainile-; or dependent rel ati vrs hel,11d without the ine .ensary mnC:ins of sustainingi life while the bread winner is awui serving his country. In Inan-y cases thm business enpiovers of thesesoldiers have voluntarily been paving their ci\Coyees their salaries while they are with the army. Inl such cases the fatmlies do not suffer, but it is a hardship on the em In other ases the dependent fa il iies are supported by local ouiit ributions, w licl amrounts to nothing less tL an charity. 18 this right Shiould the gavernmtient of the United States. the richest nation in the world, expect the depend eit famiihes of its soldiers to be supported by private charity or starve to death. Is a system that permits such conditions to exist conducive to patriotism on tihe part of the voun r married men of the coul try. It is not. As it stands today a few patri otie empiovers and~ priv"ate (-iti zens are bearing the bure1n .at should be placed upoin the shoul ters of all of the people through means of general taxation. When the welfare of the n1 tion requires the pacing of an army in the tield the expense of such an army. of every nature. should be borne from the public funds, and no individual citizen should be asked or expectedi to pay more than his just portion. It is within the power of con gress to right this wrong if it so lesires. and for the sake of our young men is the ranks, of their families at home, and for the I sake of common decency, it is to be hoped that for once ctongress will not shirk its plain duty. TODAY AND TOMORROW. In every town and community there are two classes of young boys. and possibly our town is no exception to the rule. The gilded and pampered youth looks with disdain upon1 the boy who starts life in an! humble capacity and picks up aI few nickies bp running errends tud selling papers and polishi-eg soes. Yet a few years hence the newsboy or bootblack may be the head of sonme great comnmer :iat enterprise, and the pamper ed youth may be tilling a fifteen iollar a week cler-k-ship in his emnploy. Trhe same may be said of young girls, and even of some ~vho are not so young. Caste es ranges the well to do from the poor and needy, and the cold shoulder is substituted for the icelping hand. Years hence. thou~ch, the needygr may be tile wife of' >ne of the greatest men of the nation, while the girl of castle L still longingr for most any kind of a man. Too many of us preach democ ricy in~ public and practice autoc racy in private life. We tell others what to do and forget to do the s.ame tl ingsf our selves. We live wholly int today andI forget that tomorrow will ever exist. And for the follies of today we pay dearly in the years to come. Honesto. in tegri to. persev' r ance-these ai e the r . assets of life, more golden in their val ue than all of the caste distinc tions in existence. Young men and young women who make the most of their op portunities today nere r. want for their hearts desires tomorr~ow.

O~btainable CONTROLLED BY SOUND WAVE Engineer Has New Idea for Control ling the Death-Dealing Devices Em. ployed in Modern Warfare. Lovers of opera, or otherwise, who have had the pleasure, or otherwise, of hearing some of the most modern miusic, have come to realize that it has other attributes than that of soothing the savage breast. But to blow up a battleship by means of a Strauss dis soriauce or a Wagner overture, to nip off prowling submarines with a Verdi cadenza, or to make a mine-strewn har bo.r safe for your own ships with the tender notes of a Schubert lullaby seems another matter. Expressed somewhat after the fash ion of vers libre, that is more or less the results that are expected from an invention demonstrated to the writer. Lieut. Stiles M. Decker of the Pacific coaist artillery is the inventor of a de vice that he believes will go a long way toward revolutionizing our coast defense. Patents have been applied for and preliminary tests have shown conclusively, it is said, that control of underwater mines may be successfully maintained through sound waves for firing, testing or rendering the mines neutral. It is believed to be the first timer that the energy of sound has been used as a means of controlling the ac tion of a source of energy. The fact that mines have to be either controlled from the shore or by means of wires or else planted loose so that they will explode on contact has long been a source both of ex pense and trouble, according to Lieu tenant Decker. The cable to the mines, when this is used, is very expensive and becomes useless in the course of a few years. Also it is not a very diffi cult matter under certain conditions for it to be destroyed by an enemy, thus rendering the mines useless. The mines that are simply planted with no further means of control may become as dangerous to the ships of this coun try as they are to those of an enemy. If there could be some means of con irolling them from the land without the necessity of any actual physical connection the advantages are so ap parent that they need no enumeration. After considering a number of pos sible solutions Lieutenant Decker con ceived the idea of using sound waves, which, as is well known, can be carried under water. With this as a working basis he has built up his theory of making a mine that will be controlled by a series of musical notes. Selecting the Camp Site. Unless you know your country well, do not rush to make camp on arrival, but take enough time to hunt up a good comfortable location. If there are any guides to be had, ask their advice, and the small charge they will make to show you some of the best places will be more than repaid in ex tra satisfaction. The most important requirements are sufficient firewood and good drinking water. It is not a great task to go some distance for water, but the wood must be close at hand. If possible, select a location where the morning sun will shine di rectly on the tent. This is for two purposes; to keep the camp dry, and to get everyone up while the coffee and pancakes are hot. It is well to have the camp partiallf shaded after ten o'clock in warm weather and enough trees about to break the force of the wind, not that there is any danger of a tent blowing down when pitched in either manner described below, but continuous strong winds become very tiresome and make the keeping of food warm almost an im possibility. Moderate breezes are most desirable for keeping away flies and cooling the tent.-Field and Stream. Education by the "Movies." Though motion pictures may never supplant the schoolmaster, they are al ready supplementing his work, and make it possible to facilitate teaching by illustrating of a varied and effective kind. Not least important is the aid that may give the practicing doctor and surgeon, especially in rare and dif ficult eamergencies. The perfection reached in this new art wvas demon strated in motion pictures of intricate operations lately shown the New York Courty Medical society. It was noted that every movement of the surgeons could be seen more clearly than when viewved directly in the ordinary clinic amphitheater, for the pictures wvere taken from the best viewpoint. With films froma the great surgical centers of the world collected as a part of the medical library, the local operator sud denly confronted with a strange case may promptly find needed details of newv or special operations by referring to the stored pictures. Dogs Among the Fliers. When Lieutenant and Mrs. Theodore Marburg, Jr., arrived in this country recently they brought with them a lit te Scottish terrier, Jockomeo, which is one of several of the breed called "aviation hounds" by the British forces aong the war front In France, where they tigture largely in the aviation camps. The little canine flier has a short,. 1.w-lying body, a long noset with routh, wiry, black bair, streaked with white, and a pair of brilliant eyes that express a wealth of intelligence. Marburg said Jockomeo and the others of his breed in the camp are trained to guardl the hangars and give warning when a hostile aeroplane makes its ap pearance. These dogs make flights with the avators and hold thec waste, spanners andl other tools in their mouths when~ the aviators have occasion to make retairs or adjustmients. Liver Troub!e.
