WASHINGTON COMMENT.
More thair one editor has asked,
seriously, "Is the National House of
Representatives a joke?" And more
than one national representative has
bitterly resented the query. Admitting
that there are many good and
able men, clear thinkers, forceful
workers, in the house, it is ne\ertheless
inevitable that the house as a
vhole stands up under very biting
criticism when it passes legislation
up to the senate in the comfortable
assurance that the senate will not
home you go; if we sell opium, we
pay a fine?"
How can we teach aliens American
justice if our house passes a bill evidently
unjust?
Let us pass all the antilaws we, as
a people, want. But let us make the
penalty for their infraction the same
for rich and poor, American and foreign,
white and black.
Anyone who wants to can get his
name in the paper these days. All
one has to do id to think up some new,
utterly absurb, unreasonable or idiotic
doctrine and propound it in public.
A quarter column is the inevitable
reward.
Thus wc have a lady who makes
an address before a school organization
and who says that the trouble
with America is too many can openers!
We are suffering because our
housewives don't cook enough food,
but depend too much on the canner.
Wonder if we talk too much over the
phone and not enough face to face,
or travel too much in a train and
y r.ot enough on horseback, or read too
much by electric light and not enough
by candle light?
Comes a Chicago lawyer before the
country with much publicity because,
? ?~ fVl A V> Q
bTgUlIlg a disc UC1U1C UK jui;, uv
contended that no man is really sane
after he reaches fifty. Reminds one
strangely of Dr. Osier and chloroform
for all men over forty. Why
fifty, Mr. Lawyer? And what makes
men over fifty insane?too many lawv
yers?
The real thing the matter with this
country, if there is anything the matter
with it, is neither too many cans
or can openers nor too many insane
people over fifty, nor even too many
lawyers; the real trouble with us all
is too many open mouths saying nothing
worth hearing.
No man or woman ever made a public
address who had not a real opportunity
to aid in the spread of knowledge,
the increase of education.
When speakers so misconceive their
opportunities as to utter only newspaper
publicity-getting remarks, it is
N not only they who speak, but we who
listen, who are to blame.

CHILD DEATHS CAUSED
BY INSANITARY SCHOOLS.
A.
Statistics Prove Laxity in School
Sanitation Dangerous; Issue
'} Warnings to Authorities.
1 _____________
Washington, April 24.?The health
authorities in the Nation's capital
have sounded a warning to all school
authorities everywhere regarding insanitary
conditions in schools. Basing
this warning upon mortality statistics,
the Washington health office
quotes reliable figures to prove the
contention that th$ death rate in
schocl children is largely affected by
school conditions.
The mortality tables of the United
states sfcov/ that the death rate of
children decreases rapidly from the
age of 1 year, in which it is very
high, to the age of 5 and 8, when it
becomes very low. The child at
these ages enters school, and the
mortality rate immediately increases
until the age of 12 is reached. At
this age the death rate almost equals
that of the child 1 year old.
This waste of life, health experts
explain, could be reduced 50 per cent.,
which would increase the average span
of life of an American, which is now
38 years, to possibly 48 cr 50 years.
The increase in the death rate from
the time the child enters school is
attributable to school life oi group
association.
make it into law.
There is but one reason for such
action on the part of the house, and
that is fear of "the folks back home."
But the "folks back home" are by
no means the backwoods men and
women of a generation ago. The public
school, the movie, the trolley, the
automobile, even the newspaper, afford
the man far from the city as
good a chance to know and to think
as his urban brother.
Hence, when the house passes a
bill to depart all aliens violating the
Volstead law or the narcotic law, it
says to the folks back home, "This
will please you, because you believe
in anti-narcotic laws and prohibition
laws."
"? '" '11 ' f!nrmr>nn-seiise iustice
is inherent in most Americans. We
all like to see fair play. Is it fair
play to admit an alien and tell him
"We have one law for ourselves and
another for you; if you take a drink,
we deport you; if we take a drink,
we pay a fine; if you sell opium, back
Some of the conditions which result
in children's diseases spreading
through the schools arc named as
overcrowding, lack of playground
space, poor plumbing, inefficient heating,
bad ventilation, insanitary drinking
fountains, and insufficient care in
looking after children with contagious
diseases for a sufficient length of
time.

American Legion Notes.
During the past few months the
American Legion at Toledo, 0., has
caused 32 persons to be put in jail
for falsely collecting funds for sick
and wounded world war veterans, obtained
the release from jail of seven
ex soldiers, found jobs for 1,057 more
and conducted 135 military funerals.
Large numbers of ex-soldiers who
are suffering from shell shock are
looking for work in New Yprk city.
The American Legion obtained work
for one but he got into such r. heated
argument with the man who was
hiring him that the Legion had to

provisions of a bil lwhich passed the
provisions fi a bill which passed the
only four dissenting votes. The act
provides for a $9,000,000 bond issue,
to be passed on by the people.
When state officials of the American
Legion in West Virginia heard
that several ex-service men's organizations
were considering asking Jack
Dempsey to appear before them, they
issued a statement which refused sanction
to any affair to which the world's
boxing champion might be invited.

News reaches some places quicker
than it does others. The American
Legion has received a letter from a
world war veteran who says, "I understand
the government is giving us
adjusted compensation with the option
of taking land or money. I've just
discovered an island in th2 St. Lawrence
river that I want, so tell the
Government 111 take that."
Jobless and without money, F. W.
Smith of Omaha, Neb., ex-soldier and
head of a family of three, grasped at
the chance for "work" offered by the
American Legion employment service
and sold a pint of his blood for $25.
By his act Smith saved the life of
Edward Belitz, Belgrade, Neb., farmer,
who had been severely injured.

court had been decided against

Tobacco to be Standardized.
Active 'steps looking toward the
standardization of tobacco have been
taken by the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates. F. B. Wilkinson,
who is in charge of the work, has arjanged
with a number of manufacturers
and dealers to furnish samples
of the numerous grades nov; used
commercially in different localities.
These samples will be studied and
classified with a view to working out
standards -cr permissive use by the
trade. The promulgation of such
standards will also aid in the adoption
of a common language understood by
both producer and manufacturer.
Pension Money Here.
Williamsburg county veterans and
widows of veterans will be given
their pension money within the next
few days. The money has arrived
and Probate Judge Snovden is now
