The government ia simplifying the uniform f the soldier haa rut out a ml of moaey aad eut ia lot of sense. In the days past tbe decorative gear of the dress parade aad society soldier uas about ss fierce as the coming out garb of the debutante daughter of the newly rich from the Arizona copper belt, aad the gold lace and feathers and sunbursts on f major-domo rivaled a store window. But simplicity baa been ordered la the army, and when a thing like that gets a atari it usually goes as far as is aectosaryv Tbe uniform of the soldier is now ss plain as a fence pott. It Is desigatd for utility aad safety, and ft covers tbe ground. It is not objectionable ia appearance, for color aad design both Suggeit comfort. Shoes and hats are ia line. About the only thing open to criticism is the rloae collar srouud Iheiueek, and Maybe some day that will be remedied. The officers still have the ehliy leather outfit da their legs, aad the spur to give some recognition to the traditioa of the past, but that is the Most of it. The useless sword and itl rattling equipment are goao. Tbe hilarious brajs button! are dwindled dowa to a Measure of use fulness instetd of remaining as a beauty help te a pompous cavalier.' The elaborate red sashes aad the gold trimming, and that sort of deadweight tonnage haa been crossed off the list of deadly weapons, and it ia bard to tell a big officer from a private unless you know what the marks stsnd Vo. Tht army of today it a business institution, at a Klrslfy spectacular production, aad the euly uniform that ia in keeping witk the decisive char, actor of tbe ergaalsatioa is' one that contributes by Its usefulness lo making the soldier aa effective actor in hit supremo Job. The American soldier Is aot aa opera bouffe member. The eagle wears no red feathers. Tke lion puts ao trimmings en hit tawny eoat. Other qnalilcatloat are his. Simplifying the army uniform does not darken the world for those who require joyousarss in appersl. The drnm-witjor may otill go the limit, and so may 'the rest of the Cititeas' Silver Cornet Bnnd. But their errand it not grim. It is differ ent. War aloae la war. MCC1 8M0KI INDICATES SOME FIRE.

Wo conceive it to be the paramount duty of the President and tke fleante te conserve first ef all and above all tbe safety and woll-beine; of these United States, of this natloa of one ' hundred and, tea million' kad more American citizens. If tbe defenders of tbe league are to be be lieved, they too want lo have aa eye always to the safety of the Ameriraa people. They would do their work so well that la the fu(pre it would not be necessary as in the past for soms scores nt thousands of prieelestXand precious young Amorl- eaa lives to nvo lo do sserinceu, sna some Hun dreds of thousands of young American bodice to here to be maimed and some tens of billions of Americsn treasure to bare fobs wasted.

Last fall, by tactics avrlng very much of bar lary, tha putty of Great Moral Idea" Meeeeded la obtaining majoritka la betk hoasee of tbt Sltty-tlxth Congress.

Congress nthttiattlcnlly tackled ted lieker and made our glorious Union bone-dry. Wbat cite kava they done? Nothing. Whit elte have they tried to del Nothing. O, yea, t forgot. They have aet about aa .investigation of tha victory ia tht world erar. At tblt reading iba only thing very clear at to that phase of the iltuatioa la that th Q. O. P. feci very grievously disconcerted because it hat aet a defeat to Investigate. Politi cal capital might be mad ef that tort ef an In resngatioa, but no return eaa be expected from sa investigation of victory . , Things Jogged along for tea Droit lets weekt aad the G. O. P. suddenly realised that tba bnrdsa of the present moatentoua epoch It bad contracted to tsar and that it bonated it could easily tote wa actually toe heavy for it to lift, muek lea tarry, aad eo thie precious Congress resolved to desert tht raaat and take a vocation or are weekt. But they reckoned without Woodrow Wilson, who writ I letter fa en or two of tbe magnates of tbe "party of Great Moral Ideas," opining tkat there wal a arret bid Job en hand for Congress to do, aad that this was no timt to go oa A Junket of discovery of Hutch courage. That mad tht Stnndptt Speaker, Mr. Gillette, very angry, aad la. hit reply he attempted to drop Into sarcasm about if, and only succeeded la fall ing into bad manaert ever it. ' There wat oat marvelout suggestion made by Mr. Speaker, aad what do yon suppose It waat Why, tkat tbe pres ent crisis aeed give no concern, for there Is al ready law enacted by the depraved Democrat!, mark you that gives th President ample au thority to act la the premises aad tempos th convulsions, which ia a much aa t say that la the opinioa of the Hon. Gillette the 0. O. K. Is Im potent to deal with the situation, and ke is al mighty right in that latter view of It. It is grave and a grim situation. That which confronted President Johnson in the Thirty-ninth Congresa was a simple and a facile and n tranquil rffair compared witk the mighty problems that now challenge the American people. The world war legislated, and one of the imperative enact ments of that awful and bloody Sanhedrim is that steps must be taken the world over to establish relatione between capital and labor that will make them friends and aot, enemies, partners and not competitor It is going to tall for all the wisdom of the wise and all the charity of the good aad all tbe aaeriflee of the patriotic. There ia Just one way to solve this mighty problem, and that It to enthrone Justice. It It a eoafllct between Wisdom aad Ignorance; between greed aad hca'gnityj be tween right and wrong. And tho political party ia our glorious Union that plays dirty politic! in the treatment of that tremendous issue will be emphatically repudiated tad utterly destroyed 'by aa enraged peoplt who ere resolute that the matter be satisfactorily com posed with exact Justice meted out to all and sin gular. The matter must be settled In a peaceful way. A strike it war, aad Ilk most wars, fro in It both sides emerge worse than when they bo ftu it. Then there la th high cost of living. Ths cause must le found tnd adequate remedy appli!. There are numerous causes, one the doleful fact that while tke America eltixea is the most self reliant man ea earth, he Is woefully deficient ia the virtue of telf-deaial. Aad tbe rich are much to blame. A family with a grtat' big Income la concerned little about the cost of llvirfi. It Is a matter of small moment to that family whether! tggs tost a dollar a dotta or half that sum, or whether butter is a dollar a pound or fifty tent. So that family pay th pries demanded, and that fixes tbe price for the poor family. Self-denial on the psrt of the rich is needed to euro thst evil. Von Buelow In bis book about the Germs em pire remarked that there had never been bnt two perfect Arganlratrons In the world the Bomta Catholic Chnreh and the Prussian army. I some times think there .will never be any overthrow of the profiteer till alt the families of alt of eltlee are organised like the Prussian irmy that ia to obey erderfwnd in th purchase of food give no more than the price fixed by honest and effi cient councils la each district. That would take rears, howtvtr, aad what I imperatively needed it qniek snd immediate action if we.e to escape frightful danger that now threatens. These nutter snd other tall for Immediate action, but the Republican House of Representa tive purposed to flee the Job Inglorloiisly snd in continently. Wilson, however, stopped that cow ardly and dastardly desertion, aad eet them on the job, though tbey are in a mighty bad humor about it, and msa la bad humor art aot fit for wise oiinsel. s for tbt Senate the quarrelt between capital ad labor lad tltt blah cost of living are things of tmnll concern to that body, whose sole smbition to derise some schem to take all credit from Wondrow Wilson In the event that the League of Notion should work to conserve the world's peace. That I what th Senate I after, and all It Is after. Washington, August 16. A PLEA FOR JUSTICE. (From Nstlonnl Kindergarten Association.)
