THE MAN AND THE HOUR

Every community has its hour, and many OF them have the man for
the hour.
But how is it with us?
The hour is here-the hour for injecting e life into business, TOT
the creation of a bigger and a greater community.
Some may castth their eyes around and ask where" or chow"
Your eyesight is dim, brother-your intellect is sleeping.
The hour is here-has always been here-wil always be here.
1t needs only the mn with the vital spark of life to give it touch and
go, a constructive brain to take the iniative and forge the links that bind
II into d great and mighty chain.
Some men a do this while Others car not.
We want the mn who can.
We have the land, we have the sites, w have the possibilities, and
VIC van the realities.
But We must first have the man Of the hour-the leader who will
his great intellect into the scale and bear it down with the weight
OF energy, of determination and of power to create big things from small
beginnings.
We as a community are not lacking in brains, w e are not devoid of
an inherent desire for Improvement, and we are not without the power
o the will to force the issue il we but get the start.
Every great municipality had lis humble origin, but it had dts
of the hour, its men of the hour.
Geographical Or other conditions may prevent our aspiring to the
dignity of a great metropolitan city, but it is easily within the bounds of
wealth and Importance.
We need to expand and w want to expand.
1t requires but the opportunity and opportunity even O waits upon
the man.
Who will he be?
Who will they be?

LIMIT THR HTNEY

The overlooking Of jitneys Is a
matter which at its inception should
engage the attention Of the District
officials under whose direction the
regulation of this traffic comes. II
it is unsafe and undesirable for the
running boards Of electric cars to
be occupied by passengers while
such cars are in motion It is much
more undesirable for the footboards
of jitneys to be crowded by men
clinging to frail supports. The time
to cure this evil of the overlooking
as we'll as the overcrowding Of jit-
neys is right now while it is not
established as a right in the minds
of both the jitney proprietors and
the jitney patrons. If it is not pro-
hibited we will shortly chronicle
some accident with accompanying
loss of life or serious injury and
the ounce Of prevention will have
again been exchanged for the pound
of cure. Limit the jitney to its
sesting capacity.

ToRPEDoINo OF THE ARMENIAN

After the Lusitania horror and
the crisis it brought between Ger
many and the United States the tor
pedoing Of any ship with the loss
of American lives on board must be
cause Of concern to the American
Government. Flying the British
flag, the Armenian, though an
American ship under charter when
sunk off Cornwall, was clearly out
Of our jurisdiction. Carrying a
cargo of mules, she was just as
clearly engaged in unlawful trade,
as mules are contraband.
But 1t is not likely, it is scarcely
possible, that the Armenian, though
carrying mules for use in the armies
Of the allies, could have come under
the classification Of a British mill
tary transport. As such, a German
submarine would have had every
right under the sules of war to at
tack and. sink her, regardless Of
what neutral persons were on board
In any capacity whatever.
But how, as such military trans
port, could the Armenian have been
permitted to clear from an Ameri-
can port in regular traffic between
this country and a beIligerent coun-
try7 This could not be possible
without very culpable negligence on
the part Of our Government or very
grave responsibility to us for trick
cry on the part Of the British gov
eminent.
In the absence Of fuller informa-
tion, therefore. it must be assumed
that the Armenian was technically
a British merchant vessel engaged,
as 50 many British merchant vessels
now are, IN the carrying of con-
traband, subject to the risk of cap
ture by an enemy and delivery, if
possible, into prize court.
There remains, then, the question,
now become a very old story, Of
whether the submarine, II it was
necessary to destroy the ship, gave
the crew time to leave her, as
should have been done under the
rules Of war and the laws of human
ity, or, as in the case Of the Lusi-
tania, deliberately slaughtered them
without warning.

BARGAIN DAYS FOR AMERICA

The younger generation more
from lack of experience than any,
thing else believes that dollar is
always worth hundred cents.
Older heads remember conditions
which established different values.
The present war, however, In it's in
fuences on exchange may serve to
establish in the minds Of the younger
people the fact that abnormal
times make abnormal values.
Before the opening hostiIities 100
English pounds eGualed in value
approximately $487 of American
coin. But the price of the pound
has shrunk in a year so that it
is equivalent now to only $4.76.
So, too, with the French money
which in its ratio to $1OO, has
shrunk from the point where a year
ago $40 francs were its equivalent
to where $50 francs are now re-
qured to balance the value of ten
eagles.
ltaly's money has deprecated
much faster than either Frances or
England's, having shrunk in excess
of l6 per cent, and the Kaiser's
mark worth in peace times approx

MISUNDERSTANDING

1T was DR.. Anton Meyer-Gerhard
who was to go back to Germany to
tell the Germans what the Ameri-
cans really think. If the dispatches
are to be credited he has only told
them what he wishes them to think
we think. ...
He says. the relations between the
United States and Germany suffer
because of mutual misunderstand-
ing, and then proceeds to clear the
matter up by saying that a major
ity Of the American people believe
set of doctrines that are clearly in
contravention Of the announced poll
cies Of the American Government
and utterly at variance with the
contents of the notes sent to Berlin.
If ever the people Of the country
approved anything they have ap-
proved the action Of the President
in the two notes sent to Germany
since the sinking of the Lusitania.
1t will not do Germany any good
to believe anything to the contrary,
and DR.. Meyer-Gerhard only adds to
the misunderstanding by his pro-
nouncements.
But he also said that only
the German-American newspapers
among all the American newspapers
had succeeded In being neutral!
Does this suggest the source of the
doctors information concerning pub
Lie opinion in the United States?
