Read what Food Director Hoover has told our Washington man, Milton Bronner, and then see to it that your wife reads it. : During February and March our allies in Europe were starving to the point of licking the platter. In London, in March, there were always 200,000 or more people in line:waiting for a chafice to get food supplies. In April the foods saved by Americans began reaching Europe in quantity. Says Mr. Hoover: : “The fortunate thing /is our food got over there just when the great spring offensive of the Germans got under way, and just when the morale or the allied peoples was going down very fast. Our food saved the day and we never could have shipped the amounts we did if it had not been forthe enormous savings voluntarily effected by the American: people. q ee =.“The American housewife is holding the line by" feeding’ our allies‘ until ‘we’ get an American army‘over there in force. If it had not been for her, ‘the war would: have been over.” ; . “OF: course, this authoritative information i startling and, of course,, we've all got to go right on conserving food, but the point we want to make in respect of ‘this matter |is that it is authorita- tive infarmation as to what the, people’s savings and’ sacrifices have actually. accomplished: It is information a:pound of which weighs more than a# ton of programs,’ plans, specifications and prom- ises,' and giving such.information should in: much larger ‘degree enter into ‘the war management’s policy. : j ; ‘ _ The’ old claim:that informing the American peopleyedato, whatabhex.ve done ig.informing the enemy;is pretty; much a worn ‘out gag, which in the case of aeroplanes, for instance, is taken as an excuse for concealing what hasn’t been accomp- lished with several. hundreds of millions of dol- lars. Germany knows our resources, knows that we're in it for all we're worth.and very likely knows what we've accomplished better than does the American public. Men and women are but grown-up children. Show a child that it has done big things, and, in nine cases out of ten, it will at once go at doing bigger things. Mr. Hoover de- clares that we saved Europe from collapse, last spring. Very good. We’ll put her beyond reach of collapse so long as this war lasts. THE FOLKS LIKE THE LIGHT One of the first things done by the hold. over or newly-elected state legislatures in the fall should be an attempt to repair the damage done by that 5x4 supreme court decision invali- dating the federal child labor law. The crux of the decision by the noble five justices was this: 3 “Over interstate transportation or its inci- ‘dents, the regulatory power of.congress is ample, but the production of articles intended for inter- state commerce is a matter of local regulation.” The layman will fail to see what PRODUC- TION had to do with it, since the force of the sta- tute was directed at/prohibition of “interstate SHIPMENT of products,” and this is just what the four dissenting justices arrived at, thus: “The act does not meddle with anything ‘be- longing to the states. They may. regulate their internal affairs and their. domestic commerce as they like, but when they seek to send their -prod- ucts across the state line, they: are no longer with- in their rights.” It seems that, in the opinion of both elements in the supreme court, a state can produce what it pleases, regardless of effects.upon all the other states. It is up te Florida to: produce rattle- snakes, skunks, wolves, fleas, rebels or any other calamities she likes, regardless of what’s good .for Kansas, Ohio, or the rest. of these United States combined. “It’s up to the several states to bar out the calamitous productions of sister states, as:in the case of liquor, by special legis- lation. « -. What state will-be the first’to forbid the sale within her confines of the products wrung out. of _the.sweat.and crucifixion of little ‘children? If the 5x4-supreme court-is to dish out states rights ere ISOS unlimited, let’s use some. of those rights to re- store and preserve national honor, morality and decency in the matter of child labor! am WHAT A JUDGE! Superior Judge Dunne of San Francisco re- fused to recognize United States Liberty bonds as proper security for a woman undey indictment. He insisted that cash and not Liberty bonds be offered. Labor organizations of ‘San Francisco had donated the bonds. These organizations could have sold their bonds and put up the cash bail, but they knew the selling of Liberty bonds lowers the market value of other Liberty bonds in the hands of millions’ of Americans. These people were too patriotic to sell their Liberty bonds, too American, and too anxious to win this war. . y It appears that this judge—DUNNE—was not. so patriotic, not so all-American, and not so. anxious to win the war. His decision does more to discourage buying of Liberty bonds of future. issues than the most rabid pro-German plotter could do if he talked night and day for the next hundred years. Liberty bonds being the proofs of indebted- ness of the best government on earth, are there- fore the best security in any American court, and the sooner this Judge Dunne learns that the better off he will be. If Judge Dunne continues to: refuse to recognize Liberty bonds in his court, let’s ship him right over to Germany where he will find many other judges who don’t recognize them, and any anti-Liberty bond American ought ‘to fit.in well with the kaiser’s crew of hand-picked judges. THEY FORESAW IT “Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence, she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which ‘are essentially-foreign to our concerns: © Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by ‘artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the OWNERSHIP: ordinary combinations and collisions of her friend- ships or enmities.” : Observe the emphatic use of the word “ordi- nary,” in this excerpt from George Washington’s farewell address: “We hold:these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal;:that they are endowed by their Creator ‘with certain’ unalienable. rights; that among these are.life, liberty:and the: pursuit, of happiness.” 000) °.)0 ye ONE andi : Those old fellows. who’ risked, the’ halter by: signing our Declaration. of Independence did not; declare that all Americans-are created-equal with certain unalienable rights.

It is our war even more than that of the British, the French or the Italian, for we fight to hold what we won with -blood and: treasure in our revolutionary and awful Civil war. gdlom of tho e SOCIALISTS, PLEASE READ If there are any of those pro-German, kaiser- helping socialists still at large in this country they may obtain a more exact understanding of their Potsdam friend’s. socialistic. views by reading the kaiser’s. own wordg: " I'll teach these socialists a lesson—they are the curse of my country!” That’s what Bill Hohenzollern thinks of so- cialists in Germany. Russian socialists who have helped the kaiser more than all his’ other allies combined here can see what he is going to. think of them when once he gets Russia completely in his clutches. So, too, may American socialists, French socialists and British socialists’ see their finish if Germany should win this war. The Declaration of Independence is just an- other “scrap of paper,” but Kaiser Bill will soon learn its significance—“scrap” is our middle name! 4 The politicians might better leave the choice of generals to the commander-in-chief.. The re- sponsibility is his. Cut out the politics and let’s win the war. : _Evidently Michigan party bosses want only a senator who doesn’t start until they crank him up. A self-starting Ford doesn’t suit ’em. When he defied Uncle Sam the president’ of the Western Union started something that Uncle Sam ‘himself will probably finish. . ~ If there is a salt shortage, the old saying “He is salt of the earth,” will have more significance than ever. \ It is rumored that the kaiser-has abandoned the project of a castle on the Hudson and is even thinking of giving up those he has on: the Rhine.

S.——— PROMISED LAND THRONGED WITH HAPPY CROWDS Pleasure Zone Lives Up to Name in Entertaining ‘Thousands of the Visitors The promised land ‘of dazzling en- chantment was realized last night | with the opening of the C. A. Wortham lattractions. Filling streets and vacant lots for several blocks the shows and riding devices made a most alluring picture. Everywhere . there was bright light, music and unusual sights. The dure of the “ballyhoo” drew the population as a fighting Teuton draws the fire of the boys “over.there.” There are a lot of wonderful attrac. tions with the Wortham organization and more than that there is not an ov- Jectionable feature to be encountered on the big blazing Zone of Pleasure. Last night the midway was crowded with a happy, jostling crowd of pleas ure seekers, and they all stayed unti a late hour. Everybody seemed more than satisfied with the offerings ana a big week is assured the company. Just which is the best show all de- pends on the individual taste. There is a big water circus where pretty girls and daring men dive from great |heights, perform fancy and trick div- ing feats and give exhibitions oz swimming; there is a horse show where Arabia, a beautiful Arabian horse d@es a number of remarkable acts and other horses, jump, dance, and otherwise prove a horse can.think. Underground Chinatown, is one of the most unusually interesting exhibitions ever carried with an organization ot the kind. Through the trenches gives the spectator an idea of what the boys on the firing line are going through. The animal circus is excellent, with a two hour program of 90 trained wild and-domestic animals. Over the Top and Haneymoon Trail are the fun fac- tories, and the Devils’ Saucer is the thriller” of the aggregation.
