Rear Admiral Fiske. retired, was call ed upon for another speech the other day and he devoted his speaking time almost wholly to the question of war. Some 1 months ago the Admiral warned that commercial greed would lead to another great conflict He comes right back in his latest speech and predicts that the war will come within 20 years. (Admiral Fiske. as might be expected, wants this nation to spend millions for a big army anil a big navy, especially the latter. He was trained at Annapolis, served for years in the navy and as a re sult is prejudiced. War has been his calling in life and he thinks of nothing else. How much better would it be if men of prominence like Admiral Fiske spent their time talking about and working for peace instead of war! There are enough agen cies at work for war without men like this adding their voice. President Coolidge thas under advise ment now plans for another naval limita tions conference. Why doesn't Admiral Fiske talk of the advantages of such a conference instead of spreading doubt and suspicion? Controversies between nations, to his way of thinking and reasoning at least, can.be settled only on the battlefield. He fails to recognize the power of arbitra tion. There are too many others with the same views. If We talked peace and brotherly love as 'much as we talk war and jealousies, there would be less of the latter. KEEPING BACK THE FACTS. The oil industry is one of the higgest in the United States, Millions of dollars have been invested in the industry by thousands of people. Some of the rich est and most prominent men in the Unit ed States are closely associated with the various companies which control the bus iness. Yet when the government starts out to get some facts about the compan ies it is balked on many sides. Take the Teapot Dome lease suit, for instance. Several oil companies are said to have been affect ml by the lease; their officials knew all about the lease and the manner in which it was negotiated. Yet when they are called by the government for testimony what happens? They flee the country. Two men who were wanted in connec tion with the Teapot Dome lease are in France, where they have been foj- a year. Frankly they admit they are going to give no testimony, and so long as they stay ih France they do not have to talk. A Canadian company which it is alleged, was formed solely for the purpose of paying Albert B. Fall for bis activities in getting the lease for the Sinclair in terests, is no longer in existence and its former direct'ng head is now bound for South America or some other foreign What is the matter with the industry that its officials are afraid or unwilling to talk? The government would do well The oil companies deal too much in sc- i| HUNT’S WASHINGTON LETTER [' '; 1 ! 5 By HARRY B. HUNT i NEA Service Writer 1 Washington—Mention has been made, ip recent dispatches from here of a “Borah bloc” in the United States Sen ate. Just who the members of this bloc are, however, and by what charac teristics they can be identified, have not been made plain. The fact is, of course, that the term “Borah bloc” has been used simply as a handy tag to tie to the group of, | ndependently-minded Republicans who have declined to permit themselves to be bound by their party's caucus, and who claim the rffht to vote their own •views on public questions regardless of what party “leaders” proclaim to be their duty. To this number might, properly, be added those members recently ousted from G. O. P, party councils, on charges of irregularity. Borah was their champion in the hour Os their chastisement. His insurgency is ho less real, if more discreet, than was tbeirs. They will fight with him and for him, en bloc or independently, as occasion requires. Whether properly labeled as ‘ bloc” or not. and whether fairly grouped under a Borah banner, there po longer re mains any doubt but that there is an in the new Senate an insurgent group that can make itself felt effectively. This group has now been picturesque ly named “the backbone of the Senate.” Before one qualifies for membership he must have proven the stiffness of his backbone by standing up, unwaveringly, under the load of public criticism, social ostracism and partisan abuse resulting from voting his individual opinion against his party's mandate. Borah himself says there is a dearth cf stiff backbones in Washington. Par ticularly in the Senate. “It is much easier :n Washington," says Borah,” “to go along than it is to disagree. If there is any atmosphere in God's world that weakens a man’ —a FARMERS INCREASE THEIR OCT-j yPUT, The American farmer spent a busy J year in 1024 judging from the report <Jf the Department of Agriculture which shows that farm products last year were worth 512.4f14.000.(KK>, an increase of 86,56,000.000 over the value of the 1023 crop. Crops were worth much more in 1024 than in 1023. being larger and at the same time bringing higher prices. At the same time there was a big decrease in values of livestock products and dairy products, the decreases not being as much as the increases for the crops, however. Cereals produced in 1024 wore valued > at 55.220.000.000 or 45 per cent, of the total, compared with 30.8 per cent, in 1923; corn was valued at 12,800.000,000; cotton at $1,701,000,000 and hay and for age at $1,733,000,000. A decrease of $66,000,000 in the farm value of dairy products in 1924 was not ed by the department's survey, the gross value for the year being $2,580,148,000. -Mark Twain on “Man. Man can't sleep out of doors without freezing to death or getting rheumatism ; he can’t keep his nose under water over a minute without being drowned. He's thy poorest, clumsiest excuse of all the creatures that inhabit the earth. He has; to be coddled, swathed and bandaged to be able to live at all. He is a rickety sort of thing any way you take him—a regular British museum of inferiorities. He is always undergoing repairs. A machine as unreliable as he is would have no market. The lower animals appear to us to get their teeth without pain or incon venience : man's come through after monets of cruel torture, at a time when he is least able to bear it,. As soon ns he gets them they must "be pulled out again.

If 1 1 111 1 11 1 ky WUB/KrmrjSS gfj** —c*- wc 'll, -1 HB 1..J backbone, it is the atmosphere of Wash ington. The process is constant and Just why senatorial insurgents should . be described at this time as “the Borah j bloc” is not apparent. The most like ] ly guess is that the name was designed i in an effort tot discredit the influencej and prestige of Borah. By getting before the country a pic-1 i ture of him aq leading a "bloc." as un dertaking to organize a. group which he could lead in opposition to the Presi dent or to his party’s leadership in the Senate, it may be hoped to minimize the force and effect of his later opposition to certain projected party policies. But accepting the tag of “Borah bloc" | as one that will be moch used to de scribe the insurgent Republican group, Iti should be recognised that the bloc was formed around Borah, as the most effective champion of its more important principles, rather than having been form ed by Borah as a club with which to pound his opponents. ' Personally., Borah continues to play, aet-he always has, a “lone hand.", Others cani come along if -they wish, and wel come. But he doesn’t change his play in erder to make room for them. * * r Before sending in tflie nomination of John G. Sergeant for attorney general, after the Senpte had twice “sat cn” the appointment of Charles B. Warren, Pres ident Coolidge took the precaution of as certaining in advance what the attitude of the Senate toward the new appointee would be. f) \ , The president felt that Warren had been subjected to a most embarrassing, even humiliating, ordeal. His feeling in the mattter was perhhps as much be cause of th eposition in which the double rejection placed Warren as because of the “hole” in which it placed him. He hesitated, he told friends, to pre sent another nomination until he made sure the new nominee would not be sub jected to a similar ordeal. —___ • !he can depend upon 'until the dentist, makes one. | Man starts in as a child, and lives on I disease to the end, as regular diest.

Its sole interest is to lie and wait for a stray grape seed and brecu trouble. What Is his beard for? It is just a nuisance. All nations persecute it with a razor. Nature, however, always keeps him supplied with it, instead, of putting it on his head. A man wants to keep his hnir. It. is a graceful ornament, a com fort, the best protection against weath er, and he prizes it above emeralds and rubies, and half the time nature puts it on so it won’t stay. Man isn't even handsome, and as for stylo, look at the Bengal tiger—that ideal of grace, physical perfection and majesty. Think of the lion, the tiger and the leopard, then think of man. that poor thing!

The Wtrth of » Man. v Health is largely a matter of common . sense, according' to Dr. Charkvt Mayo, president of the American College of Surgeons, in annual clinical congress. The doctor also bases health upon busi ness judgment. “In these days of high prices and over eating most men cram into their stomachs more in one sitting than they themselves are worth,” Dr. Mayo de clared. “And then they wonder why more than 1,000,000 persons over 40 year* old in this country are suffering from diabetes.” He told how much the average man is worth. “When boiled down to natural ele ments the average man would make: “Seven bars of soap. “Iron enough to make an e.'gbtpenny nail “ Magnesium enough to relieve one sour stomach. “Potassium enough to explode one toy cap pistol. "Sulphur enough to ehane tire flees off one dog. “Lime enough .to whitewash one fair size chicken coop. 1 "I’ho.sphorus enough to cover the tips of 2.500 matches. “Therefore,” Mayo added, “the total drug store value of a man .is just about 98 cents.” Married women in the Isle of Jersey have just been released from the posi tion of being their husband's “chattels” by an act of the Jersey State.
