Who Will Reap the Ripening Harvest?

CUPERSENSITTVE persons who feel
~ squeamish about the sale Of munitions Of
war to the belligerents should not make the
mistake of assuming that all Of the billion
dollars worth Of war orders" which have
been placed in this country call for guns or
ammunition. We manufacture automobiles
and shoes and clothing and underwear and
socks and hats, and we raise grain and cot
ton. and we distill gasoline and mine coal
and forge structural steel all Of which ma
terias we have been selling to Europe in
large quantities during the past eight
months. These supplies must be included in
the enormous total Of war orders received
here since the beginning of hostilitles The
amount is large enough to raise our total ex-
ports for the year TO the usual high figure
OF two and a half billion dollars worth
Besides selling goods to the eligerents we
have been lending money to them to pay for
what they buy, The money has been de-
posted in our banks and drawn upon for the
benefit of American producers. All this
means that the United States is paying its
debt to Europe in some form or other, and is
accommodating a surplus Of capital with which

Cheer Me! Did IT,"

THERE is a mistake somewhere The New
l. York American for instance informs an
anxious public, in appropriate headlines that
the Liberty Bell will be sent to Fair on Mr..
Hearst's plea" The public is told, too, that
"Mr Hearst had the warm support" of Cen
eral Miles, Mr. Taft and a few other gem
tlemen.
It appears, however, that credit is not
everywhere given to Mr., Hearst. THE Lib
erty Bell goes to San Francisco. The action
OF Councils yesterday assures this. and the
many and repeated pleas of The Press for
such action are finally granted"
There are Philadelphians who thought that
Mayor Blankenburg was OF some Importance
in the matter, or that the impassIoned
oratory of Herbert FleshhaClSer had an in
fuence. or even that the plea Of the President
of the United States was not without effect.
But the truth viii leak out, despite modesty
and retiring dispositions.

favor the Path and Chestnut streets site and

We should all agree to disagree amicably

of pressing his claim to recognition Of the
value Of his toll.
So the merit Of the Dennison scheme. 1t
is a frank and voluntary recognition of the
investment value OF work 1t is a recogni-
ton Of the fact that work backed by fidel-
ity intelligence and character is worth "A
little more than wages. Something new has
been discovered. Somebody once discovered
that a useless black rock was coal Well
hasn't labor been lying about us all the
while as simple black rock and may not
this Dennison experiment with it end in the
discovery that the black rock Of labor is
after all. coal?
And there is still something further to say
of the Dennison discovery. Any man who
has kept his eyes open to the life about
him must often have wondered why it is
that some men, who pay only the average
market price for their labor, contrive to run
their businesses for a lifetime without
strike, while often other men in tho same
business perhaps paying even higher wages,
have had to fight ono strike after another.
What's the answer?
