Merchants generally contribute to scores of different causes. These causes are not confined strictly to the villages in which the merchants are located, but frequently outside. Solicitations range from churches down to organizations having a fixed income from dues and other sources, j A majority of the projects for which subscriptions are asked, have merit, and the business people seldom turn them down. As compensation in part, at least, for their generosity, the merchants expect patronage from those benefited. This has not been forthcoming, if reports from many villages are true. Rather, the mer chants have put in what they call a tight Winter with the declaration that considerable trading has been denied them. They believe in the old a factor in relieving the freight con- saying th a t “one good turn deserves gestion and speeding up war ship- another.’* • placing <m the Harm all available farm labor to aid in planting, har vesting and conserving food products, such committees to serve without pay. It also Ha* decided to create a bu reau of the New York Boys' Work ing Reserve to co-operate with the U. S. Boys' Working Reserve and with the state and city departmenta of education under a director serving without pay. It has asked the Comptroller to set aside $50,000 for the procurement, transportation and organization - of boys fumiahed to the war production committees, $25,000 of this to he used in placing New York City boys. It has appointed a committee to work out a plan of co-operation be tween the Woman’s Land Army and the employment bureaus. It has appointed a committee to purchase ten ditchers and arrange for their consignment to distrieta where they are most needed. For the purchase of ditchers and to get boys to the farms the Commis sion is disposed to spend all the money needed. -------------------- » -------------------- Barge Canal Available. The summoning of the barge canal traffic agent to Washington to confer with officials of the railroad admin istration looks as though the Federal Government is at last waking up to the importance of the barge canal as L’AIGLON. -------- : ----- | ------------- Women Set Voting Pace. The special elections recently held in four Congressional districts in New York changed nothing from the previous political standing of those constituencies; but they did produce some facts of more than passing im portance to the student of politics. For instance, the women, voting for the first time, brought to the polls about ninety per cent of their total registered strength, whereas the men —to whom, perhaps, voting has be come an old story—brought out only about half that percentage of their number. This indicates that the men will have to be on tiptoe in future elections. Another fact, of even more importance* was the heavy vote cast by the Socialist party, which in one district was in excess of that received by the Republican candidate. There is no denying that the growth of So- ments. Several times within the past year, State Engineer Williams and Gen. Witherspoon, superintendent of public works, have called the atten tion of the Washington authorities to the fact that the canal would be open from the lakes to tidewater in May of this year and offered the use of it free to the Government. Within the past month Governor Whitman pointed out to Secretary McAdoo how the use of the canal for coal transportation would reduce the cost and release thousands of cars now used for shipping coal into this ; state for other purposes. All that ' the Federal Government has got to do is to see that coal is routed from the mines to the nearest point on the barge canal, and as it has entire con trol of the railroads that is a com paratively simple matter. •----------------------------♦ --------------------------- Square Deal for Soldiers.

This will not be aided if the tendency of legislation is to continue in the direction of state socialism as strongly as it has in the past. — :— ♦-------------- Hunting Farm Labor. To find a sufficient supply of farm labor, to get it to the farms in time and keep it there throughout the sea son of raising and harvesting the crops is the task to which the State Food Commission is applying itself with all of its energy and ability. All kinds of suggestions have been | live in securing the repeal of an or der of the W ar Department that has worked great injustice to many new recruits. It seems that heretofore men entering the Army who mani fested chronic physical disorders within three months After their en listment have been subject to dis charge for disability not incurred in line of duty. They then have a status under which they are denied many of the benefits intended for them in the War Risk Insurance Act. Mr. Johnson conceives it to be a great injustice to a man to accept him for military service after a severe physi cal examination, and three months later conclude that a disability he Can’t Buffalo the Tiger. Chairman Harris of the Democrat ic State Committee is quoted as say ing that Tammany Hall will have no p a rt in state politics this year until the Democratic state ticket has been nominated. In other words the up state Democrats can nominate the ticket and Tammany will get its re ward In trying to elect it. The five counties in the city of New York cast nearly half the votes refceived by Judge Seabury in 1916, 826,199 out of a total of 686,862. Tammany controls the Democratic organiza tions in those counties. When the present chairman of the Democratic State Committee was elected Tam many controlled the State Committee and used its control to defeat the candidate of the up-state Democrats and elect Mr. Harris who has many more friends in Tammany Hall than he has in the up-state counties. Tam many has not shown the slightest inclination to relax ite grip on the party machinery to the advantage of the up-state and anti-Tammany ele ment which is from time to time re ferred to as “a little bunch of kick- Croker a Poor Prophet. Croker picking Hearst as a winner in the coming gubernatorial contest serves to remind us that during his career as state leader Croker never succeeded in naming a successful can didate for Governor, and also that when Hearst ran for Governor in 1906 he was beaten by more than 50.000 and was low man on the tick et While the difference between the highest and lowest candidate on the Democratic ticket except Hearst was less than 2,500, Hearst ran about 28.000 behind John S. Whalen, who ran next to the lowest. Croker never was a good prophet and the last time he ran for Governor, Hearst was not a good candidate although he had the support of both the Democratic party and the Independence League. ------------- + ------------- ONE COUNTRY— ONE COD. I^ost -'©cripts BY THE TRAVELER Inlformation that the proposed dayfligMusaving hell has been held up in Washington is no doubt gratify ing to the late stay-a-beds and pos sibly a legion of others. About every thing on the calendar of reasons has been advanced to get \pep’’ behind the measure, from that of needing it to win the war down to more time for recreation by the working classes. The clocks, which the bill is supposed to juggle twice a year, once an hour forward and then an hour backward, have not uttered a sound either for or against the measure, but have kept ticking off the time twenty-four hours a day. In almost every village The Trav eler has discovered spots that are so unsightly as to remove to a consider able extent favorable impressions c re ated by the more picturesque views. The untidy areas are in botn residen tial and business sections. dvocal pride, it would appear, has lapsed into a state of indifference when such conditions are permitted to exist. It would not require a superhuman ef fort nor one involving much financial outlay to eliminate the untidy places. ------------- ♦ ---------- — OBITUARY ROOSEVELT FANNY MORRISON Funeral services fo r Mrs. Fanny Morrison, sister-in-law of Daniel Morrison, were conducted last Sun day afternoon at her late home in Leonard avenue by Rev.

There are well-mean ing men in their ranks. They believe that the millennium is coming, that the Government can exercise the func tions of all private enterprise and that all fields of human endeavor can be equalized. It is an old, old dream, which the world has discarded again and again since the dawn of civiliza tion. The beat guarantees to the peo ple of this country for the security of our institutions are those princi ples embodied in the Bill of Rights, which have been tried by the experi ence of ages and are firmly fixed in the constitution of this land.\—Sena tor Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota. Naval Affairs and on Post Offices. That circumstance puts hiifii in a po sition to secure better mail facilities for men of the Navy. Mr. Penrose has reported a bill to the Senate pro viding for the designation of enlisted men of the Navy to act as Mail Clerks at shore stations. Heretofore such men have acted as Mail Clerks only on board ship, but the large training stations that have been es tablished on land have made in neces sary to provide for the better hand ling of mail at those points. Especi ally is this true of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, where sever al thousand men are undergoing a course of naval instruction. Numer ous complaints have been made of the faulty mail system now in opera tion at that place, which Senator Pen rose's bill is intended to correct. Words of Service. Samuel Gompers packed a great deal of sound common sense into a very few words when he. said in a speech addressed to the Central Pow ers: “Before you talk peace, get out of France! Get out of Belgium! Go back to Germany and then we will talk peace.” With Germany sprawled all over the map of Europe talk of peace is futile, and nobody has point ed thia out any more effectively than Mr. Gompers. .
