HELP THE KlDOIES

Why not help the "kiddies" have
D good time?
Yes, you have contributed to Camp
Good Will, you bought fans during
the "Baby Fan Campaign" and you
may have sent a check or two since
that. But why not go out and help
them enjoy the camp? You will have
a good time. So will they.
The Kallipolis Grotto got the idea
first. They betook themselves, in
autos laden with toys and refresh
ments, to the camp, and had gala
day. Veterans from the Soldiers
Home went over there and gave the
youngsters and themselves, another
memorable day. Next week the
Builders and Manufacturers Ex-
change will bear presents to the chill

If you are a member of club,

A BLACK EYE EMBARGO

Two West Point cadets blacked IN
eye of a man who made slurring re-
marks about the United States
army in general and West Pointers
in particular as the uniformed
young men passed him in the street.
The cadets were fined $40 each by
magistrate on the grounds that
the insulter was intoxicated and
that therefore the cadets should
have exercised the self-restraint
which they are taught at the Acad-
emy.
With few drinks in him, then,
any man in this magistrates district
might safely insult the flag and the
uniforms of the men who protect
that flag. Had Vera Cruz been in
his bailiwick perhaps Huerta, some-
thing of free liver himself. would
have been dismissed and Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher would have been
fined.
But we do not doubt that no brand
of self-restraint is taught cadets
either at West Point or at An.
napolis which will not impel them
to go on paying promptly any fines
assessed in all similar instances.

ers being cheerfully granted, their
frequent superiority to men being
admitted, it is equally certain that
many other women are employed
not because they work 50 well as
men or better than men, but because
they will work for less. If the doc
ltrine of the equal wage scale is car
ried out, what becomes Of these
women?
Even more competent women are
at disadvantage, for under present
social conditions, which can hardly
undergo radical change without re-
adjustment of all human relations,
earning q living and supporting a
family are in general the prim6ry
duty of men, while with women
(still speaking generally and with
due regard to their business and
professional attainments in many IN
stances) a "job" is only temporary
avocation until marriage supervenes'
Consequently, as has been fire.
quently remarked, women are the
ephemeral, men the permanent
workers; and wages as we'll as other
things being equal, employers are
likely to prefer the permanencies to
the "transients."

MAY WORK BOTH WAYS

Though the action of the Illinois
State Board Of Administration, in
providing that women employed in
State institutions shall receive the
same wage scale as men, is doubt
less gratifying to the suffragists,
vindicating their theory of the eco
nomic potency Of the ballot and af-
firming the principle of equal pay
for equal services, an extension of
this principle into the realms of pri-
vate business may work harm as
well as good to the feminist cause.
A hint of this danger is to be
found in few lines from the state
ment by Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout,
president of the Illinois Equal Suf-
frage Association, who says: ut
1.-THE action of the State board pro-
tec;s the men, for where women re-
ceive the same compensation as men
tho temptation to replace the men
with equally capable women art q
lowe rate Of pay is removed"

WAR ORDER WAGE INCREASES

Where mills and factories are run
ming under forced draft to turn out
war supplies at high prices and rich
profits the workingman wants q
share of the big war gains and in
sists upon having it. This is nat
ural enough and the general public
wishes him good luck. But not only
those particular wage-earners but
others moved to envy and emulation
of them will do well to remember
that the war will not go on forever,
may stop short before anybody
realizes what is coming.
One coal producer points out a
phase of the increased prosperity
for the laborer and the skilled work
jngmen in special war order fields.
He says the efficiency Of the men, in
a time like this Of urgent demand
for help and Of higher wages for the
good, bad and Indifferent, is reduced
by 25 or 80 per cent. The men don't
have to do their best to hold their
jobs; they earn easy money and
don't want to save it or to increase
their value by closer effort.
If this is true it is worth thinking
about by labor as we'll as by capital.
The more intelligent and thrifty
workingmen should see to it that a
campaign of education is conducted
among their more short-sighted
brethren. Now that a time of un-
usual prosperity for the laborer in
those special war order fields is
here he should be made to under.
stand that good meals and shelter
for the time being do not insure him
permanent continuance Of these
blessings without a willingness to dc
his share of the work and without
provision for the future.

THE PENNANT RACE

Not since Clark Griffith has been
directing the destiny of baseball in
Washington has a team left on a
more momentous trip than the pres
ent one.
So we'll punched are the clubs at
present that squirt means the lead
ership for any one. Detroit and Chi
cago, two Of the chief aspirants for
the premier place, return to their
lairs, and in this they may obtain an
advantage. Still in the past the
Nationals have proven they were
better before unfriendly throngs
than before home crowds. If they
regain this prestige it may be that
they will return to Georgia avenue
in the van Of the exciting struggle
for the privilege Of fall entry in the
set-to that is to decide the title for
the world.
For nearly a month the team
made a most impressive stand, the
feature of which was winning four
of the five games from Chicago. If
the club can duplicate this record
while on the road 1t will get back
here in position that will give ii
an excellent place to start terrific
drive for the top during the home
series that will last practically
through the month Of September.
There never before has been q
time when the pitching staff has
been in better condition than at pres

THE NATIONAL DEFENSE

President Wilson has begun a
series of conferences with Secretary
Daniels, of the Navy Department,
and Secretary Garrison, of the War
Department, on the question Of
what recommendations to make to
Congress for increased prepared
ness.
These conferences are a source of
qualification to everyone who is cog
infant Of the lack of means of ade-
quate national defense at present.
To have induced the Administration
to take up this question seriously
in the early period Of the Admins
tration would have been an impos-
sibility.
To the extent, therefore, that
public sentiment and public realiza-
ton Of the country's unprepared-
ness have moved the Administration
to action there is reason for satis-
faction. The same force Of public
sentiment which has caused the Ad
ministration to weigh the defense
problem will undoubtedly cause Con-
gress to give more intelligent con-
sideration to it than it has given
hitherto.
But having taken up the problem
of preparedness, how thoroughly
are the Administration and the re-
sponsible elements in Congress 60
ing to solve it?
This is a phase of the matter
which it is impossible to overlook
1t is one thing to take up the unpre-
paredness of the country and con.
slider it, and another thing to deal
with it on broad lines and in a big
way.
Until the program Of the Presi.
dent and his advisers is known, il
cannot be said, of course, whether
an adequate program of defense is
to be advocated. But one thing Ger.
tain is that no plan which is OF
minor scope will be satisfactory tc
a large and rapidly growing volume
of public opinion in this country. Ir
order to satisfy that opinion, the
navy must be built up to a point
where it will be rounded out and ir
all respects highly efficient and suf
ficient to insure against invasion Of
continental United States or attack.
on the canal or insular possessions.
AS for the army, nothing less thar
the building up of a powerful re
serve Of trained men, with a much
larger body Of trained officers thar
now, and large supplies of rifles, ord
nance, and war munitions, will fill
the bill. In fact, the Administration
will make no mistake if it givel
careful thought to the ultimat'
adoption of some democratic plan O.
training the citizenry to arms sucl
as the Swiss nation has adopted ant
such as Australia has found sue
cessful.
