(Established 1873) E> WHEN IT'S WORTH WHILE Through his experience with an army of 40,000 employes, Henry Ford has arrived at this: “Men don’t work for money alone. Ten dollars a day will not hold men in some places. The things | of life that are worth while make the strongest appeal to the man. Above all, he must have some-| thing to hope for in the future.” Mr. Ford has the secret of satisfied labor and, | if all the employers in the country had it, we | would have a very much different and better America. The human animal has progressed very largely | through earnest, persistent striving for a little bit more than he already had. The man without hope of advancement is a} machine. He watches the clock.

WITH THE EDITORS | wececeocococooss MR. HEARST’S LATEST William R. Hearst printed a personally signed editorial in his papers the other day. He adver- tised the fact that the editorial reached 10,000,000! readers. Perhaps that is so. The editorial seemed to us to border on dangerous ground. He talked of the entrance of Japan into the war. He cited; the fact that Japan had asked permission of no nation, least of all, of the United States, to enter Russia. He insisted that it is the duty of the United States to talk plainly to the British and to the Japs and to insist that Japan keep out of Russia. His line of reasoning is difficult to follow. For our part, no matter what the latter danger may be from the occupation of part of Russia by n, no matter if we suspect the Japs of secretly ig hand in glove with the Germans (and that docs not seem fair nor justified by any rule of past | conduct or present exigencies) it is better for the| Russia than to have Germany in control of Russia. | We suspect that Mr. Hearst is too anxious to find something to cause embarrassment. And good- ness knows the president has enough embarrass- ing situations without having any other unneces- sary embarrassments foisted on him at this time. | —New Rockford State Center. j UR NEW WAR” The Bolshevist government have set the seal to their ignominy.

His loyalty is measured by his obedience to rules and his con- tribution is no more than that of the dies, clogs, rivets, wires, gears and fuel of his shop. He has represented the status quo only, and always will. | He has been the plowing by ox-power, the reaping) with the sickle, the garment made by hand-needle, the transportation by canal. Keep him as he is, and he will always have only what is. granted him and few of the things that make life worth while. And, should he become the majority, should in- alienable rights and opportunities depend upon him, human progress will cease. Of.capital and labor, the latter is the greater and its responsibility is the.greater. Human-ma- chine labor, labor without aspiration for the things of life worth while, without something letter to hope for in future, means slughation, stagna- tion of capital as well-as of all other elements, and hence it is labor’s insistent obligation to fight against the increase.of human machines. The great war work that Mr. Ford’s industrial army is performing is admirable, but, in the final analysis, it is only a fundamental duty of labor. It is but labor’s fulfillment of its obligation to beat back an autocracy which would make all laborers but human machines, without hope of the things of life that are worth while. Mr. Ford is one of the greatest liberators of our times. He is demonstrating to capitalism, by his growing bank balances, that it is most profit- able that the wage-earner be eager for and have the things of life that are worth while. All of our industrial problems are locked up in that proposi- tion. WHAT CHILDREN CAN DO? Can the kiddies help? Secretary McAdoo says yes. In an appeal to the boys and ¢ to enlist in ¢ » r the nation, Secretary of the Treasu joints out that if every school child will invest 25 cents a week in government thrift stamps, the treasury will have $6,000000 a week, or $300,000,000 a year, to help pay the cost of the war. Mr. M-Adoo, in his address to the boys and} girls, says: “T want to enlist you as volunteers under the colors, to help the government put the whcle strength of the nation behind our gallant fighting men. “Our soldiers and sailors must have countless cargoes of food and munitions. They must have a great fleet of ships to carry these cargoes across the Atlantic. “To perform this great task, costing every day millions of money and the labor of millions of men and women, the'nation must have the help of every one of you. “It is a splendid opportunity that you have to do your part in winning the war. Try each day to find some useful thing to do—help at home in stopping waste and saving food and all the materials now so sorely needed—be workers and savers for the nation. “When you receive money, if only a few pennies, lend it to the government by the. purchase of Thrift Stamps. Twenty-five cents a week from every one of you will bring into the treasury six million dollars a week—three hundred million dollars a year—to buy food and munitions and ships to win the war. “Will you enlist in the army of workers and savers? America is counting on you!” =| Through the work of the National War Savings! committee, it is hoped that the great majority of! the 2,000,000 school children will become goyvern-. ment bondholders in the forthcoming Liberty n.

Nick |but that may be the very thing I YeoP dott Reape summons of their Ukraine clients with a show of juridical “correctitude.” With unfeigned alacrity the Germans are dispatching troops into the prov- inces which have been severed under their protec- tion from the former Russian Empire. Nominallv they go to take the side of the Ukraine in the civil war which they have promoted, in fact they rejoice to find themselves in armed control of a territory so valuable as a possession or as a pledge. It may, or it may not, furnish the abundant supplies of foodstuffs, “in the current economic year,” which Herr Von Kuhlmann and Dr. Seidler dangle before the hungry masses of. the central powers. But it undoubtedly opens a wide window upon the Black sea-and upon all that lies beyond the Black sea, | delightful to the believers in Mittel-Europa.. They will take care that the window is not again shut. As the prospect tor Germany grows darker: in the west, her aniformed “idealists” turn their vision \more.and more fondly to the east, and to the op- portunities they find there in the dissolution of Russia. within a few miles of Trebizond and the rapid re- assertion of Turkish mastery in Armenia may naturally increase their hopes. It is so good to be in the Ukraine that, although the invitation was deliberately addressed. “to the German people” over the head of “the All Highest” and his satel- lites, Germany has overlooked the fact. The Hohenzollerns are ready to act with the socialists of the Ukraine, as they acted with the Jacobins a century ago. The kaiser, like his predecessors, \knows when to put his “throne and altar” prin- ciples in his pocket. He can salve his conscience by the reflection that he is now fighting the Bol- shevists in a double capacity; first, as the enemy of Russia, and, secondly, as the further anodyne to be found in the prospect of gain—London Times. THE GRAPPLE OF MILLIONS Before the titanic impact of possibly 1,000,000 Teuton troops moved to supreme effort by a now- jor-never conviction, the British are yielding | ground, but by all accounts the resistance they offer is costing the enemy a stupendous price in ‘loss of life and fighting energy. Pre-eminently, it is a time for cool heads, brave hearts and determined spirit in all allied quarters. The British, though thrust back here and there by an opposing avalanche of men and guns inten- sivly keyed, are far from beaten. They are neither demoralized, discouraged nor bewildered by the cumulative effect of the blows that are being dealt them. Their fighting morale is intact. They are giving way in good order and with clear purpose. They are making the foe pay dearly for every foot he gains. The rapid progress of the enemy is disquieting, that, in the end, will defeat him. The ground over which the Brit- ish retire, because of previous devastation, is bad enough, heaven knows, but it is vastly worse go- ing for the attacking side. Unless the kaiser’s armies can move their heavy guns and supply | bases consistently at the pace the forward fighting ranks set; in short, if they cannot maintain their | gait over a wide front to a victorious end—they will land inevitably in precarious positions and be menaced by huge flanking or scissors move- ments that would annihilate or cut off great bodies of men and accoutrements. This danger, of course, works both ways, but the British, being on the de- | fensive for the time, are the Jess likely to encoun- jter it, other things being equal. The people of London are calmly confident that the Teutons will be stopped. Paris, though bat- tered with marvelous long-range guns, is less anxious than it was during the clash at the Marne. Washington expects that in the big and vital sense the British will hold and that the French will do likewise if they should be put to a test of the same kind. If a tide of Teuton might is hurled against the American soldiers they may be trusted to give their level best, handicapped as. they are by lack matched here at home? This new crisis is an injunction upon every 1 American to show the stuff that is in him as never before. The issue of the war will be de- cided, apparently, by what is now going on, altho a long way off.
