It is true that we will be paying the cost of this war for a good many years to come, but peace will find practically all the foreign civilized world short of everything, with the United States, the great producer and provider, equipped as no other nation, with ships. This, to say nothing of the fact that this country, as the great creditor nation, will be drawing interest on billions of loaned money, directly or indirectly. During our war period investment in new en- terprises of ordinary character is almost at a standstill. Tens of thousands of factories and other industries have been altered for and de-; voted to production of war material. Peace means that these businesses must be changed back to pro !uction of peace necessaries, at a time when the whole world will be demanding such as never | before in all human history. How is overproduc- tion possible? What possible grounds for reduc- tion in wages? Moreover, while the purchasing power of the American dollar is now low and may further de- cline, the whole American people is learning to y:ake that dollar go farther. The folks are con- scientiously studying their dollar, at the dinner table, at the shop counter. everywhere. However, scratch a pessimist deep enough and you'll always find a materialist. Nothing save faith, hope and spiritual inspiration-has lifted us from the landing of Columbus’ starving, mutinous | crew to our position as the greatest of nations, materially, and a people so glorious, spiritually, that it gives its lives and its wealth without stint that. people all over the earth may be free, be fed and have a chance to be happy and prosperous as, God Almighty intended. } We bleed, we sacrifice, we mourn, in this war,; but the nation’s peace vision is aglow with all the| colors of the Almighty’s beneficience, and the pes-! simists, the materialists who groan over depres-} sion in the future, over low wages and too much! of food and clothes, are but as the grasshopper, the moth and the gnat. ‘ REFORMING LANDLORDS. New York landlords, who have shown an almost Hunnish dislike of babies, forbidding them the shelter of apartment-house roofs, are about to be reformed. In future the landlord may be required to show as much enthusiasm over the little dears as if he were a political candidate. Any public display of aversion to children—any tendency to deny children bed and board in the most exclusive apartments may cost him $500 or five days in jail! Aldermna Clarence Palitz of the New York city council has presented a resolution which, if adopted, would have the law on every apartment house owner who bars tenants because the family includes children. : But the well merited public scorn which has lat once; and it accomplished only the ruin of; ment houses—the “exclusive” tenants who prefer large incomes to large families. : i Personally, the average landlord has no particu- lar objection to children—he may even indulge in a few of his own, wisely established in a subur- ban residence. But he gets his living by renting his apartment house—and if he wishes it to be tenanted by persons who can pay high rent with pleasing regularity he must cater to the taste of such tenants. Exclusive tenants are dead set; against children. They won’t be bothered. with them themselves and certainly they will not en- dure ihe presence of the neighbor’s children. The child-hating landlord is but the agent of the} “exclusive” teriant. ._When babies become fash-j jonable i+ may be discovered that landlords are as! human as anybody! ‘ | It won’t be a Santaless Christmas if we get an! early start on ourselves. i Paneer meen ey | The Prince-Chancellor to Wilson: “Pax Vobis-; cum,” Wilson to the long list of former German chancellors: Max vobiscum.” | | tep up to the bar and get it, says the vice com-; mission. That’s certainly putting them on an} equal basis with men. ‘ Some folks feel about this bell-ringing, whistle-| blowing part of the loan campaign as they do about organ grinders. They buy another bond to hush ’em up quicker. | | WITH THE EDITORS YEA BO!

The case of Debs, foremost socialist of this| country and a one time candidate for the presi-j dency, sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary as a war obstructionist, emphasizes this country is in deadly earnest in prosecuting the war and will stand for no monkeying by any person or per- sons. Debs is an intelligent man and deserves all | he got for prostituting his efforts and talents in Germany’s behalf, for that is the net result of| pacifism of any description. The American who isn’t for war to the knife and knife to the hilt is| absolutely open to the suspicion of pro-Germanism in his heart.—Parshall Leader. i * * * RADICAL AND TORY. The New York Evening Post contributes an apt sentence that completely describes a vast field: “There is a folly of impatient radicalism, just as there is a stupidity of dogmatic negatives on all innovations.” That epitomizes the whole field of political, social and economic thought. i John Stuart Mill put the same thought in these words: “The future of mankind will be gravely] imperiled if vreat questions are left to be fought out betveen ignorant change and ignorant oppo- sition to change.” In that sentence there is a world of good advice applying to the I. W. W., the Townley Nonpartisan league, Roosevelt, Lodge, Jae Socialists, Bolshevists everywhere and all| Tories and Bourbons—but it is advice of especial] significance to all the rest of us because the point of it is to beware of those who champion “ignorant change” and those who represent “ignorant oppo: sition to change.” : Impatient radicalism wants to fix everything up} teaches, that human progress is always a thing of | slow and painful experiment and patient growth, little by little. Dogmatic toryism wants nothing changed, now | or ever. | Russia has furnished vivid examples of both. | and its examples on both sides have their faithful! parallels in this and all countries. | The czardom resisted all changes, so it collapsed | and fell into the murk oft oblivion, its passing | marked by fire and smoke and ruin. | Bolshevism wanted everything on earth changed | Russia. Dogmatic toryism gains strength when Bol- shevism becomes menacing, because the timid fly to its standard. Bolshevism gains strength when toryism is in; power, because the excesses of conservatism drive thousands to radicalism. The Bolsheviki, the I. W. W., the Townleyites, other, is the best friend of Bolshevism every- where, in all places and in all times, because its tyranny breeds radicalism.

They have been lying ever since that time in the archives of the Bureau of American Sthnology at the Smithsonian -insti- tution waiting the time when’ use could be made of them for ethnolog- ical study and research, The bureau has sent them to Dr. Gilmore for his use as'working tools in his research.

Highlanders of Canada, one of the regiments of the “Ladies of Hell” who have taught the Germans one lesson in manners. It is said that although Germans “have always shown con- tempt for women, yet they have learn- ed’ to make. way for “the Ladies of Hell” and haye a wholesome respect for them. For this reason the poster is of considerable interest, as well s from the fact that it is printed in Gaelic, the first language of culture in Britain. In that beautifully ex- pressive language there was written a great body of prose and poetic liter- ature while still the Anges and Sax- one and the Northmen were unlet- tered barbarian pagans making their tical forays on the east coast of tai And this strong, persistent, . courageous and progressive race, the Gaelic, still in the forefront in the struggle* for civilization and culture and all the fine thtags in the world. So this Cameron poster is of inter- est to all who hold dear the impond- erable but precious things of human- ity, as well as of special interset to the “Camaronaich Ghaidhealach na Wan-Rhiginn.” . It is wreathed with a long list pf the famous battles and campaigns in which the Camerons have fought from the time of the Na- poleonic wars to the time when it was issued at the beginning of the Ger- man war. Since that time, during the last four years, the”Camerons have added many more well fought battles and campaigns. The poster has been framed and hangs. on the wall of the museum of the State Historical societ Lanterns Cc Megie™ on Farms | Never, Set Them on. the Floor But Hang Them.on Strong Hooks or Wires. By P. G. HOLDEN. VERTURNED lanterns cause more farm fires than any other one thing, according to the sta- ‘istics of underwriting associations. The. days are now getting shorter, the evenings longer, and the danger of, fires from lanterns’ will be in- creased, ‘Those of us who depend upon @ lan- tern to furnish us light while we are at work*in barn, cow shed, or other outbuilding, should take a little time riglit now to provide ourselves with a few safeguards which’ will difainish, if not-entirely remove, all danger of fire from this source. In every patt of the barn where we need a light we should place strong hooks ‘upon which we can hang the lantern while we are at work. We should not trust old or rusty nails, many of, them perhaps slanting the ‘wrong way. These nails often break or pull out,or the bail slips off. As a result, the lantern falls to the floor, upsets, the oil runs out, catches fire. Perhaps there is straw or. hay scatter- ed about, and before we can do any- thing, to prevent a bad, blaze, the en- tire building is on fire. A convenient and safe way to light the various stalls in te cow barn is to stretch a good strong wire, firmly fastened, at the right height behind the stalls upon which the lantern may be slid from stall to stall. Whitewash, liberally applied to the stalls, inside walls and ceiling, will greatly brighten the interlor of the barn and we will not need to handle the lantern as much as we otherwise ‘would. Whitewash also will sweeten the atmosphere, will destroy vermin, is: sanitary. Never set a lantern on the floor. It is sure to be overturned, sooner or later, Never take a lantern into the hay loft. Never trust a small child or unusually awkward person to carry a lighted lantern into a building. Nev- er fill a lantern In a barn or shed and never fill it whilé it is lit, Of course we should always light a lantern out- side the barn if possible. If we can't do that, we should be very careful, what we do with the match. Be sure it is not burning when we cast it aside ‘and, even though it is out, do not throw it into hay, straw, or any inflammable material. And always have fire extinguishers handy—both in the house and tn the barn. Buy W.5.8 Cheerful Man Always in Demand: Give us, O give us, the man who sings at his work!
