It is somewhat significant that Ber- lin publications are just now? devoting much space to discussion of Ger- many’s future trade, by her distin- guished economists and great manu- facturers. Big business in Germany is, appar- ently, beginning to miss the four and @ quarter billion dollars’ worth of ex- port trade it enjoyed before the war. That there has been no concerted and loud yell for peace from this quarter is the strongest evidence as to the thoroughness with which Germany was militarized. When all those. bill- ions of dollars suffer that way with- out shrieking, it indicates the finest, tightest little autocracy this side of kingdom come, but even such an au- tocracy may crack, in time. The fisherman is now telling even taller hunting stories. FINE, LARGE UNDERTAKING, If the national food administration succeeds in its campaign to abolish long standing grocery credits and un- necessary delivery, it will establish an econoniic revolution of truly tremen- dous proportions, a revolution of al- most unlimited benefit to both store keeper and customer. There is no man who pays bills but knows that the credit system, backed by the telephone, means extrava- gance; and there's no Store keeper. but knows that his delivery system is 75 per cent a curse bred by brutal competition. Credit means that you buy when there’s no actual need to. Delivery means an “accommodation” for which the merchant has to make the purchaser pay, in one way or an- other. Both systems spell waste. But to get the American people to give up these “systems” is the big- gest job that the food administration, or any other, could tackle. However, it has been done by certain individ- uals, in certain localities, and every little bit added to what you have makes more. Notwithstanding the national import- ance of the useful activity of every able-bodied man, if may not be within the provis of the general govern- ment to state against idleness. However tit may be, the subject need not be ueglected. The state of Maryland has aiready undertaken to compel its citizens to engage in use- ful occupations. Other states and mu- nicipalities should take similar steps, with a view to assuring that while no slacker evades his duty on the firing line, no other slacker, exempt from military service there, shall remain in idleness here at home. P. S. (A woman's viewpoint.) Have you Hooverized your war garden yet? That's one form of patriotism which should be “canned.” AUTOCRAT: OVER JOHN BARLEY- CORN. It takes no expert member of the legal profession to demonstrate that the matter of prohibition is, legally, squarely in the hands of President Wilson. Distillation of spiritous liquors was stopped, by law, about two weeks ago, and, at that time, experts figured that there was in bond 225 million gallons of whiskey and, in the saloons, clubs, hotels and wholesale houses, some 1C0 million gallons of whiskey, rum, gin, etc., making a total sufficient to satisfy the average demand for three years to come. The legal ban was put on distillation in order, té conserve foodstuffs, as a war measure. Then, by law, President Wilson was empowered to take all of these 325 million gallons and redistill them to obtain the alcohol necessary in the making of war munitions. If he does not do this, the president must make the alcoholic equivalent ont of foodstuffs. It is not a question of law. It is not necessarily a question of moral- ity. It is a question of war policy. Who will say that spiritous liquor is a war necessity? Who will not say that food is the first and greatest necessity in this war? Verily, prohibition is one of the war measures that congress has left, en- tirely and definitely, in the hands of the commander-in-chief of army and navy. Maybe he believes that we will so increase our production of and sav- ing of food that we can both eat and drink our alcohol, without detriment to our war. Dame Fashion decrees that women shall be “tall and slender,” but good old Dame Nature merrily treads her way making just as many short and stout as she used to. MEDIATION ON A MARKET BASKET. Permit us to repeat a platitude: Times change. : But yesteryear nobody honored) a market basket. No woman who pre- tended to “a place in society” ever dreamed of carrying one. Even the college girl with socialistic tendencies failed to recognize the market basket’s existence. And thé immigrant’s daughter, after a month’s residence in this country, saw to it. that her small brother and not: herself went to the corner grocery when a market basket was required. é But as aforesaid, times change. Es- pecially war times. ‘Behold the apotheosis of the market basket. It now rides triumphantly. in every. motor car. It has its proud place in the limousine guarded by a fluffy $500 Pom; and not a bit less proudly, it rides beside the lady whose husband can only afford a Ford ‘and who doesn’t like dogs, anyway. It accompanies very fashionably dressed ladies into the strest cars, subways and elevateds of the land. (And would to the gods of agriculture that these fair women would learn how to handle their baskets of corn and cabbages without bumping the shins of the trav- eling public!) Beautiful girls find that carrying a market basket calls even more atten- tion to themselves than does that sublimated affectation of industry, the knitting bag. (Besides, a nice man will always offer to help a pretty girl German chancellor “hopes war wi!) | be terminated this year.” It will if the kaiser is! SPUR THE IDLER. ~ To supply our own armies and the armies of our allies with food, muni- tions and equipment is a task no less important than that of putting our armies in the field in Europe. Selec- tive draft was adopted as the most practical and most effective method of raising an army. Some sort of in- dustrial draft may also be necessary in order to make most efficient our work of supplying food, materials and transportation. In these days of the nation’s great need there should be no idler within our borders. Every person capable of productive effort should be engaged in some useful, productive occupation. At the same time that we are endeavoring to con- serve the products of labor, we should conserve labor itself by assuring its utilization to the fullest extent. The regulation of the personal con- duct of the citizen, when not related to interstate. transactions, is a matter with a market basket, though never with a cretonne satchel.) But one cannot be forever gay when | med'tating upon the market basket. | There’s a serious side. It is not that which considers that the half bushel of spuds has now a concave top where yesteryear’s murphies were heaped up for a good measure. It is as a symbol of the new democ- racy that the market basket must be taken soberly. Not alone in Europe’s trenches are all the battles for world democracy to be won. Whenever in a street car you trip over the market basket of a lady who is nobly doing her bit, you are re- minded of the first ‘great principle of democracy, “liberty, equality and fra- ternity,” also sorority; and you are convinced that since carrying a mar- ket basket is now the height of fash- ion, world democracy is surely on its way.
