The effectiveness of the subma

its invisibility. Ou the surface tht

tively useless.
Obviously no submarine could b
of much value against a vessel suei
as the very light draft steamboat
on the Ohio and the Mississippi
Torpedoes discharged far enoug
down to be out of sight would pas:
uudgr their "skimming-dish" hulls
and a submarine which had to star
its torpedoes practically on th
surface could not avoid making if.

If the submarines continue to b

if no other and more satisfactor
means of defense against them ca
be developed, they may yet fore

marine craft, perhaps of somethir.

There are many possibilities i

MORE PORK
Congress has more than one i>or
barrel, says ail exchange. The big
fest in this interesting collection, o
course, is that which is filled ever:
year by the rivers and harbors a;>
propriation bill. Next in size i!
tiio on© from which congressuiei
draw gorgeous postoffice buildings
twice too big, for email and ane
raic communities, that they ma;
with them tickle their constituents
There are two others, not a!
large as these, but which ar<
nevertheless capacious. One i!
filled with old garden seeds palmec
off by big seed dealers. The othei
provides the means whereby sen
ators and congressmen are en
abled to use the postoffice depart
ment freely for mail, express and
freight service without expense tc
themselves.
But now there is a fifth one—
prcbatly one ranking in size next
to that containing the federal
l-dildings—the existence of which
has not been extensively adver
tised. It is the rural free mail de
livery pork barrel.
The rural free mail delivery
system was created for agrlculture
al districts thickly settled enough
to warrant the outlay of public
money for it even though its main
tenance might call for some finan
cial assistance. At first the car
rier were paid about what skilled
farm employes receive. But it is
different now.
The establishing of free rural
mail delivery in regions where the
demand for it does not warrant the
demand for it does not warrant the
expense was too sure a means of
w'aning political support to be
overlooked by the members of con
gress. And the pay of the carriers
has been made enough greater than
vhat the average rural employe
f-arns to be attractive to a good
many efficient county politicians.
So Congressman Jones, of
Sweedunk, offers to vote for a
grand new postoffice building in
Congressman Smith's thinly settled
district, or for a $50,000 appropri
ation to make a navigable stream
of a mill creek in Congressman
Brown's district, if tliey will# vote
lor a couple oC additional rural
mail delivery routes in Ms district.
That's the way it is done The re
sult is, the rural free mail deliv
ery system is already costing $40,
000,000 more a year than it pro
duces and the deficit will probably
keep on increasing.
Who pay3 the bill? The peo
j pie, of course.
