Imperial Statistical Bureau Makes Report Based on the House-Keeping Books Distributed. Beer, it r.ppears from the report of United States Consul Ifft, of Nuremburg, is responsible for the poverty of the average middle class German family. He has transmit ted to this government the findings of the Imperial Statistical Bureau, which one year ago distributed house-keeping books among Ger man families, with the request that the head of each house-hold keep a detailed account of expenditures for the twelve months. Only 852 families turned in com plete records. An investigation of these disclosed the fact that more than one half of the average fam ily's income went for food and drink. For driuk, most of it beer, almost 10 per cent, was spent It was likewise discovered that the average earnings of German fam ilies of the W3ge-earning class were $521.70 a year, while the average expenditure was $531.69, or an average annual deficit of $9.99 to each family.

Why will women with huge hats go to a moving picture show and refuse to remove them? We will give them the credit of being simply thoughtless of those unfortunates who sit behind them. It is prob ably net spitefulness. Of course, the man or woman sitting behind an enormous headgear, unable to see the pictures, loses only a nickel, not to mention temper, but he or she is entitled to receive just as much for that nickel as is the owner of the offending plumes. The worn an with the big hat should remove it when she wants to sit in a mov ing picture theatre, or she should stay away, for she has no right to obstruct the view of others just because she is too thoughtless or too vain to take off her hat. WHY SHOOT THEM. A Bloomsburg newspaper, a few days ago contained the following paragraph; to wit: "Klmer Anderson shot a crane along the banks of the river hst Thursday which was measured 5 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of wings and stood 4 feet 3 inches high." And the nest day a Philadelphia newspaper had the following: "Connie Elliot, of Laustord, yes terday while out gunning on No. 6 mountain shot an eagle that weigh ed 82 pounds, and meaaured 7 feet from tip to tip ot wings." Now can any body give a good reason, or any reason why those birds should have been shot? The crane is a beautiful bird, and comd do no harm once in awhile perhaps pick up a fish for breakfast. So the eaule, the emblem upon our National Flag-Why kill it? Both of the birds are very scarce, and should be protected until they are plentiful, until our boys and girls could see them and tell what they are like. X. Y. Z. - , 1 EMPLOYEES WANTED.

Suppression of News. Ohc of the problems an editor has to meet says the American Tress is the often repeated requests of prominent citizens, sometimes val uable patrons of the paper, that this or that item of news be with held from publication. This is a problem of special difficulty in the smaller cities and towns. In the larger cities such requests are not so frequently made, and it is easier to follow a general rule ou the subject. Speaking of cases of this kind, in which the matters whose suppression is sought constitute legitimate items of news, the Qber lin (0.) News says: People come at the newspaper with the time worn warning that "it will do no good to publish these things." Publicity is regarded as being almost if not quite as potent a preventive of lawbreaking as the tear of punishment, and the effect oi' publicity should be considered before rather than after the com mission of offenses. This fear makes the work of the officers of the law easier, and the public should know what is going on in the local courts. Newspapers usually are glad to withhold the publication of news which might prove injurious to the good names of any individual or work harm to his business, but there is a class of people who make a habit of trying to suppress every thing with which some of their friends are connected. Many years of experience teaches us that no newspaper ever made any friends or realized any benefits from sup pressing the legitimate things the public ought to know. Cyrus I,aRue Munson has made a clean, dignified campaign to redeem the high office of Justice ot the Su preme Court from the hands of the Philadelphia Contractors Combine. He has met with hearty support on all sides and from all sorts and con ditions of people. Whether he shall be elected or defeated is a matter for the voter. If he wants a high class lawyer, a public spirit ed citizen, one who is under no ob ligations, one who is bound by no promises, one who can go upon the liench and decide upon the facts and the law, alone, unbiased by party, faction, interest or clique, he will vote for Mr. Cyrus LaRue Munson.
