Now that the election is over and the people have de-i
dared their choice of officials tor the coming year, the!
thing for ail of us to do is to forget our grievances and dis
appointments, if we have any.
There is important work this summer for the citizens j
of Seward, and every townsman should feel it incumbent
upon himself to boost for Seward and endeavor to work
in harmony with his neighbor for a bigger and Itetter
Terminal City.

THRIFT A PUBLIC NECESSITY
The New York food committee appeals to the “rich!
and well-to-do" to put a stop to waste in their kitchens.;
Secretary ■ f Agriculture Houston ahs estimated that the ;
Food waste in American kitchens amounts to $700,000,-:
<>00 a year, hut insists that there is no food shortage to
warrant the hysteria which prevails in some parts of the;
country. By the same reasoning there should he none to
warrant the extravagant prices exacted for foods of I
various kinds.
Talk a>H»ui waste in American kitchens may be, as
some flippant comments put it. "old stuff,” but the present
appeal for a prevention of such waste rests now on a dif-j
IVrent foundation. 1 he waste is a matter which affects (
seriously the rights of the public. One is no longer justi
fied in wasting f xxl on the theory that so long as he has
the price and is willing to pay it, it is nobody’s business.
The secretary is clearly right, whether his figures of
tiie actual money value of the food wasted are an over
estimate o’- not. in the claim that if the present needless,
careless and extravagant waste of food were curtailed in
any substantial degree there would lx* plenty of all kinds J
of food for all people and the present prices would drop:
immediately to a moderate level.
A careless waste of food—and it may lx* added that:
all food wasters are not the rich by any means—imposes
a direct and needless burden upon those to whom the cost
of food is a problem of the greatest importance. Thrift
is no longer of individual concern. It is a humanitarian
requirement, and is becoming here, as >n the belligerent
countries, a patriotic duty 01 classes and masses. (Post
Intelligencer.)

Even should we be unable to get that $500,000 road
and trail appropriation through during the extra session
of congress, there will still be a bit ot balm left in (lilead.
You remember the supreme court affirmed the validity of j
our territorial taxes on canneries, mines, and so on, and
we are assured of an annual income of half a million dol
lars or more.

David must have been possessed of a rotten tempei
to have said in his haste, “All men are liars;” but after a
reasonably diligent investigation of all records we have
been unable to find any respectable authority which ques
tions the soundness of his judgment.
The Connecticut legislature in considering a bill to
license journalists, under which a commission of five
journalists to be appointed by the governor, will sayj
whether a man may practice that trade.
That women have a marvelous capacity for hanging
on is ayain evidenced by the bill just passed by the Maine
legislature to submit the suffrage question to a vote. The
women of that state have worked to this end for forty

A joint debate between Bryan and Roosevelt would
“draw” well, but it would be about as conclusive just now
