DANGER IN FALSE ECONOMY Worse, if possible, that extravagance just at this time would be a false idea of economy. If the people become hysterical over the matter of conservation the very ends aimed at will surely be defeated. ‘We should bear in mind that, provided our great waste and extrava- gance is eliminated, there will be plenty of food in the country to supply the necessities of every person. There is now no call, and probably will not be, for any person to deny himself or herself sufficient gocd nourishing food. On the contrary, all should strive to keep themselves up to their best. Eat plenty, and the best you can afford, then you will be able to do your full share of the work that is before us. Napoleon wisely said that “an army travels on its stomach.” And it is equally true that we work on our stomachs. A hungry man or woman is incompetent for any task. And it will be all too easy for us to develop a false economy in other lines. Miserliness and hoarding of means would be most dangerous to business conditions. Anything that checks the normal volume of ex- change unsettles the markets and tends to promote panics. In fact, this is a large factor in all financial panics. Money becomes a little scarce, and we at once imagine that if we turn loose the dollar we have we will never see another. Millions of other people imbibe the same idea. You know the result. The sensible economy and the true patriotism is for each to exert himself to keep the business of the country normal. Buy and sell, earn and spend, as only by such a course can business be kept healthy and on the up grade. . Be economical and prudent, but DON'T be a miser. BUILDING IN WAR TIMES (Chicago Tribune) The Illinois legislature has abandoned its plans for extensive build- ing operations in the state departments and institutions, and with the ear of faith we already hear applause the country over. Bravo! Let cities, commonwealths and the federal government follow suit! To which impending outbursts we reply, “Be orthodox, brethren, but don't be more orthodox than his holiness the pope.” Paris has not sus- pended building operations because of the war. Neither has Berlin. To curtail such operations, if by curtailment you mean putting a check on wild and wenton extravagance, is doubtless advisable. Self-confessed pork barrel expenditures must halt, and there are other pork barrels be- sides the celebrated cask of iniquity at Washington. Pork kegs, we might term them t and cities have vach_lhvir own. Away with such!: But not with the long projected and long needed improvements that have an incont ible value. Just because we are no longer in a position to throw mons about, it does not follow that we must serimp or perish. Neither does it follew that serimping will prevent our perishing. It may even help us to. As we look at it, a quietus clapped on legitimate public building en- terprises would rank with the mania for private economy that is now hing milliners and dressmakers and many a distressed tailor. it not?—to see her ladyship economize by starving her modiste! g to see her husband economize by skinning his tailor! For that it comes to. And they call it patriotism. Ye gods and little fishes! One plain duty of patriotism keep the pot a-boiling Waste is wicked, but legitimate virtue Within the bounds of reason, go on spending. It as usual.”” It steadies the state. And what applies 1pplies equally to municipalities, commonwealths, and zoverament. Let there be no havoe wrought in the building nd its half dezen allied industries in the name of patriotic econ- quictus on legitimate and sorely needed nd dis at the very time ubd werko o m of mischief.

T We have had one answer in the gr r response of the west over the east to volunteering for the reg- ular army and the national guard. We have another answer from Secre- tary MecAdoo. who reports a west alive with enthusiasm in support of the great financial measures for the prosecution of the war. Everywhere , he went, peoples and communities were rising to any sacrifices needed for war taxation and to any demands within their means for the purchase of war loans. There is nothing the matter with the west. There has never been anything the matter with the west. Those who thought there was saw darkly, and those who were thought to represent it in congress misrep- resented it. The question ied « was un west of an in > quest s are now being answered. The fellow who hired his children to go to bed without supper and then stole their money while they slept, is discounted for cussedness by the one who cut all the eyes from a load of potatoes before selling the spuds.
