To prove my point: In the coal

voting to continue the strike for liv'

"a fight over things and the markets
for things, commodities to live or to

The nations of Europe are ruled by
the rich, regardless of whether they

Roosevelt is even now organizing
an army at the behest OF Wall street,
and the government at Washington,
which is but their tool, says nothing.
If the working people were to do the
same to get more of what they pro-
duced and to stop the robbery of CAPT
talism, Wall street would order the
government to break it up, and it
would be done.
Serious, you say. Yes, very; and we
will have war just as certain as we al
low the cause to continue. There is
no time to wait. We must, and that
at once, command our law-making
bodies to take over the utilities to be
used for and by the people.
The government has the right OF
eminent domain at all times and only
akaits the comamnd Of the people to
act. When the capitalists want to
build railroad, free river to bene-
fit themselves, they take this privi-
lege. How much more should the
people at this time command their
/ government to take over the indus
tries to prevent war. All the govern
ments at the opening of hostilities
| took over all the railroads and the
principal industries without consider
| ing what compensation the owners
should get. That is question to be
settled afterwards by court of ar
bitration. Write your senators, your
congresmen and the president at once,
and get petitions out for signatures
and send to the president. Enough Of
these and the thing is done, and no
one can tell just how many it will
take, but every one counts to turn the
balance in favor of the people as
against Wall Street. This would bene-
fit nine-tenths of our people as against
one-tenth which profit by war. And
then again consider who fights the
battles. 1t is not the rich who die on
the battlefelds nor by the hardships
of war. nor pay the bills afterwards,
but the workers who produce all
wealth by their work.
Producers Of wealth, whether you
till the soil, make machinery, clothing,
build houses, run trains or dig bitches,
you are. the people who must save the
country from war, if it is saved. Will
you do it?
Sincerely,

OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE

In launching at last a program to
give US the only protection there is
against foreign attack, prepared
ness, by all means let it include land
forces-ade4uate infantry, adequate
artillery, adequate cavalry; an army
Of size, an army of trained profess
sional soldiers, an army Of efficiency,
a regular army, real army.
But above all a navy-battleships
and battle cruisers, torpedo destroy
ers, and submarines-all that is now
meant by navy. A navy such as
has kept Great Britain secure and
will keep her secure.
For the only enemy We need ever
fear must first come across the seas
before we shall need to meet him on
the land. Let us be sure that we can
meet him on the seas with our sea
power-and we can safely leave the
rest to the only kind Of land defense
that is defense-a regular army big
enough to do all the work that it
and only it knows how to do incom-
parably.

to the Bulgars the chance to retrieve
this loss. They could demand the
return Of that which their own folly
had cost them, as the price of either
their neutrality or their support.
They have seemed utterly uncon-
cerned which side they dealt with, so
they got their price. The allies are,
on the whole, in best position to de-
liver the goods, and Bulgaria knows
it. If she should deal with Ger
many, there would be difficulty get
ting what she wants in the end, be-
cause Turkey also is the ally Of
Germany, apd would want her old
dominions, of the period before the
Balkan wars, restored to her; prob
ably she has stipulated for at least
that. Macedonia cannot be given to
both Turkey and Bulgaria, no mat
ter how overwhelmingly Germany
may win.

have excellent chance Of bettering
themselves in the end. Serbia knows
that, and has agreed; Greece knows
it, and has given a verdict in favor
of Premier Venizelos, who was ready
to make the territorial concession to
Bulgaria; Roumania is likely to be
compensated in Transylvania or
Bessarabia, for what she gives up to
Bulgaria between the Black Sea and
the Danube.
It looks as If this dicker would at
length be effected in some form. If
so, it will be the very biggest thing
since the battle of the Marine. That
battle saved France; and the acces-

CHILD WELFARE AND SCHOOLS

Some time ago all the agencies in
Washington dealing in child welfare
organized a central body, the Chill
dren's Council, to be clearing house
for the work Of organizations af-
fecting children. Not until last week
did the officers realize that sur
pSising omission had been made
from their list. This omission was
the public schools!
Perhaps the original intent was
only to get together the leaders of
the ,semi-private agencies. But the
schools are doing more than simply
impart a knowledge of the "Three
RS" and officers of the Children's
Council were brought to a realiza-
ton Of that fact.
Diet Kitchen workers went out to
the Grover Cleveland School to Ar-
ganize a Little Mothers Club. Ia
struction like that given to the "lit.
tie mothers" organization in New
York already had been given to chill.
dren of families with which the diet
kitchens came in contact. But every
body was surprised when it was
learned that the schools had been
working extensively along the same
line, and that many Of the so-called
domestic science courses in the
grades included practically the diet
kitchen instruction.
The result of this awakening OF
both agencies, each to what the
other is doing, will be a closer CO.
operation between the schools and
the infant welfare stations. Already
movement is on foot to permit the
school nurses to work with the die,
kitchens. The schools, in this day
cannot be overlooked by any agency
that deals with children. If persons
who wish to reach children, anG
families, and into the homes, would
make use Of the school system more
freely they would get better results

BUILDING OUR MONEY POWER

It Is estimated by the London
Economist that British investors in
American securities have parted
with enough Of them since the war
began to shrink their income from
such sources at the rate of some
$50, 900 a year.
And those securities, having been
exchanged into our surplus products
from the farm and factory, tell more
than the mere story Of the dividends
and interest now going into Ameri-
can instead of into foreign pockets.
They tell the story Of the industrial
wheels which have been made to
turn in this country by those securi-
ties sent here in payment for foreign
orders; Of the wages paid to our
workmen because of them; Of the
other business and employment
created by the spending here Of
those wages earned in producing the
war supplies.
They tell the story Of how that
thirty millions a year Of returns
from the exchanged securities will
now be spent in the United States,
rather than abroad, to make work
and wages every year as the prin-
cipal itself Of the securities when
transferred from Great Britain to
America to be converted into our

THE ENUMERATION OF EVE

It was not Eve, but Noah, that
ate the apple; and still worse, it was
not an apple at all. Thus decides
the Assyriological authority of the
University of Pennsylvania, or at
any rate his press agent.
The AssyriolQgists have played
hob with a good deal that we either
believed or had accepted through
long usage. Some of them found
out the particular things we liked to
believe, and proceeded seemingly to
demonstrate that about all our pet
theories were askew. But putting
the apple off on a man is quite the
extreme of iconoclasm.
Whatever the subject under dis
cussion, anywhere from the double
standard to the ballot, man has al
ways had a ready retort in the
legend of the garden, the serpent,
The apple, and the woman. Eve and
her daughters were never to be
trusted again because the lady of
the fig leaves tasted the apple. Man,
having been introduced to the de-
lights Of the juicy fruit, might lay
off half creation in orchards for it's
production. He might graft Wine
saps and Albemarle Pippins and
Grimes Golden and all the rest of
the tasteful varieties on disreputable
crab trees and make himself rich be-
yond the dreams Of avarice (see
literature of the various real estate
promoters handling apple lands)
without improperly; Eve had in
augurated the business; the sons of
Adam might get wealthy off it while
the daughters must forever take the
blame.
But now we learn that it is man
who wrought the ruin. His is indeed
double responsibility, for not only
did he introduce the apple, but he
has overplanted it until the crop is
hopelessly beared in the market and
the editors of the farm papers are
compelled to warn their clients
against further expansion in this d.
rection.
1t was possible to give up Jonah
and the whale without half the
pangs that are inflicted by this new
est assault on cherished tradition.
Man has ever loved a good fish
story; but compared to the blessed
privilege of blaming it on the
woman" the progenitor of all fish
tales could be sacrificed without a
quaver. Let them have the ballot
and the alimony, and all the rest of
the privileges they either possess OF
seek; but spare the story of Eve and
the apple!

To Prepare Designs for
Improved Letter Box

Postmaster General Burleson was au.
thorized by a decision of Comptroller
of the Treasury Downey today to use
current appropriations for the purpose
of having plans and designs prepared
for an improved letter box.
Demand for an improvement over tho
present design of street letter box has
come from New York. and experiments
will be made with box to meet this
demand, with the probability that 1t
will be installed iR other cities II found
practicable.
