MERELY COMMENT

Now it is reported that six German
princes have been killed in battle.
The world can spare six princes
quite as well as it can spare as many
peasants.
But there will be thousands of
productive workers killed for every
prince.
Evidently it is a crime in the edu-
Gated eyes of members of the New
York City board of education for a
school teacher to have baby.
Why is it that we insist on teach
ers for children who have never had
children of their own?
One can't learn the love of chill
dren from books.
The money situation seems to be
clearing up, as the tightwad bank
ers begin to get over their scare and
thaw out a little.
However, there isn't much real
difference between. big banker and
little pawnbroker.
The Shall sign would be very ap-
propriate in front of many of the big
banks.
Why should any judge hesitate for
a minute about helping along a
thorough investigation of rich tax
dodgers?
Hoyne is doing his share toward
equalizing taxation. Let the judges
do theirs
Those German submarines are
trying to blow up enough British bat
tleships to even up the naval odds.
Why not get one of the Field fam
lily to join the German navy, too?
Miss Mary Mckinney is doing a
brave thing in facing unpleasant
publicity in order to protect all girls
from unwelcome attention from male
Washers.
She should be treated by the news
papers with greater respect and
should have the moral support of
the community.

MEAT PLANT CAN OPEN, NOW;
. NoTHIN' DOM TILL MONDAY
One Chicago plant, the Omaha
Packing Co. at Halsted and the
river, has federal permission to re-
open at once. But it must be that
the strict rules of the packing trust
will not allow this.
The directors of the company de-
cided that the Omaha Packing Co.
will wait until Monday and open their
gates with the other members of
Packingtown. ..
Federal officials have adopted a
new manner of fighting the foot
and mouth disease" They have put
under quarantine only those counties
where the disease has been discov-
cred.
In Illinois state authorities are
handling the work. They have de-
cided to allow shipment from all over
the state into Chicago and E. st.
Louis yards for immediate slaughter
only.
Because the authorities impound-
ed the prize animals of the National
Stock Show owners of the cattle
served notice that the government
would be expected to pay the hospital
bill amounting to many thousands.
Inspectors have traced all infected
hog cholera serum that was shipped
out of the Chicago yards and have
stopped the output in hope of check
ing the ravages of the disease.
Hundreds of hogs that were in the
watts of the serum companies when
federal officials stopped work were
made into fertilizer yesterday. .,
The Dept of Agriculture issued a
statement declaring the foot and ;
mouth disease" almost harmless to
humans. Boil milk was suggested, .
as the fluid is one of the worst of
germ carriers. al
