[ERE remains not a shadow of a scintilla of doubt as to the determination of the American people to supply the money needed to carry the war to a triumphant issue. | ‘ The closing rush of bids for the first Liberty Loan rose to a | imax calculated to reassure all defenders of democracy and to! © dismay Berlin. | 4 Whatever misgivings may have found voice in the earlier days © af subscription, toward the end Americans proved themselves thor- © oughly awake to what was required of them. | Now let the representatives of a nation that has come forward © with these billions recognize their responsibilities and their duties. | The most serious and formidable obstacle encountered inj ‘endeavoring to make Liberty Loan No. 1 a popular success was unquestionably the unbounded increase of the cost of living in this) country. Boosting of food prices goes on unchecked, until the average American wage earner dreads the early coming of a time when what he can carn will not be enough to buy the bare necessities of life’ for himself and his family. | te Does such fear encourage a man to step forward with his savings _ or pledge part of his future earnings to buy Government bonds? ¢ It is not fair to blame those who hesitate to assign more than) _ & very small part of their savings or income to the Government, while * food speculators and profiteers are permitted to go on mercilessly raiding their pocketbooks. | Such a state of things is proper only under governments which ‘ anction injustice and oppression. The patriotism of Americans cannot stand it. Their prosperity cannot stand it. | If a barrel of flour continues to cost the American consumer above $15, with the price threatening to climb to $20, while he is at! the same time assured by disinterested authority that under proper Federal regulation the same barrel of flour could be sold to him at a fair profit for not more than $9, what is this American going to say when subsequent war loans are urged upon him?

All the! ‘ efforts of the German Governor to suppress the Cardinal's © Jetter have not kept it from’ circulating. The Cardinal finds comfort in the differentiation es by St. Thomas Aquinas between good and bad anger. declares the Saint, “is desire for vengeance.” But: “The will to avenge evil, having respect to order and justice, this is a virtuous action.” “The collective crime of a nation which violates the rights of another,” notes the Cardinal, “is incomparably more grievous than) qaares that of an individual whom society sends to the galleys or the guillo- » tine. That is why war is so great and justifies so many sacrifices.” In the face of lawlessness and inhumanity that challenge the civilized world to defend its most cherished principles, the reasonings 8 of Prelates and Presidents are much the same. ———— blished Anger,” mansh War or no war, no summer finds Atlantic City forgetting he bec ‘The Hail E torm This sulesmanship article ts the fe Vice.

(The New York Svenng orld), No. 36.-NOAH WEBSTER, the “Failure” Who Won Deathless Fame. E had a positive genius for failure. During the first halt of bis life every enterprise he touched seemed doomed to @ swift and sure collapse. He was Noah Webster, a Hartford, Conn. lawyer, Io 1777, wher he was only nineteen, he tried his hand at soldiering. But though the revolution was making heroe: overnight the lad scored no sort of success in military life, and he gave it up after a few months for school teaching. Here, too, he was not a success, it to send him through the law school hard-earned cash on anything else, 80 far as immediate results went. For, though many another young man was winning laurels at the bar, Webster did not even receive enough encouragement to warrant him in going into regular practice. So he opened a “classical academy” {n 1782 at Goshen, N. Y. The academy was not a success, To eke out ® bere living, Webster began to write school text books and political articles, The fever for literature having entered his veins, he decided he was destined to be a great editor. Accordingly he went to New York City, where he scraped together This venture was the worst enough capital in 1788 to start a magazine. of his series of failures, The magazine went to pieces in leas than a year, having been an increasingly heavy loss from the very first issue Back to Hartford went Websiter—discouraged, dead broke; branded e@ a failure in all he had undertaken, He was ap- though he earned enough money by He might better have spent the tennwenvnrre® parently the type of man who cannot do anything He Fails as but fall. an Edito At Hartford he took up law practice. But he left it to come to New York again, to run @ daily . newspaper—the Minerva—which was the official organ of the Administration. ‘This paper went through several changes of name and fortune, but with the usual result for Webster, for presently he found himself back in Connecticut writing political treatises and schoo! books once more. It was one of these school books that kept him in funds until the tide of fortune tardily changed. The book was a combination of grammar and speller and reader. Webster's royalties on it were less than one cent a copy. Yet its enormous sales supported him in the hungry years that followed its publication. Then to the discouraged Failure came the idea that was to give him deathiess fame, He noticed that the dictionaries were hopelessly out of date, Now words were constantly added to our language, as well as new technical terms. None of these new words was to be found in any ot the established Aictionaries, Webster resolved to compile an up-to-date and complete dictionary. He met to work with @ will, But almost at the very outset he found himself once moré face to face with failure, For he suddenly found that eriously embarrassed for want of a knowledge of the origin of He could not trace the derivation or secondary meanings of thousands of words that belonged in his dictionary, and no existing dictionary could give him the help he needed So he set himself to a serious study of our language's origin; its roots, derivations, synonyms, &c, And he took up the study of other languages as well. For ten years he labored at this dreary task. ‘At the end of that time he still felt he lacked the education he needed of philology. So he went to Europe to continue his studies, ‘There he visited seats of learning, burrowed in © ancient volumes and gleaned much information thet was hidden from less earnest seekers. (During the long period of dictionary labor Webster had. in 1812, become one of the founders of Amherst College and President of its Board of Trustees.) Not until after twenty years of hard work was his ictionary at last ready for publication. In 1828 its first edition was printed. Slowly but steadily It grew in popularity. The foremost students of America and Durope were soon forced to admit it was the greatest work of ite kind The Dictionary Is Launched. rth in a@ series of ertracts from seg delivered by men of recognized authority at the Wo ip Congress, held this week in Detroit By G.
