Over in Canada some Of the govern.
ment officials took selfish advantage
of the war situation, and , while ap'
pealing to the patriotism of the peo'
pie, placed a few large and juicy gov.
eminent contracts with personal or
political friends, The scandal that
followed discovery has been a serious
shock to the Canadian people. 1t has
also been a lesson to Americans. Dis
honesty knows no national boundary
lines. While American citizens will
not be lacking in loyalty to their gov.
eminent in it's differences with other
nations, neither will they for II mo.
ment relax their vigilance in scrutiny
OF government business. Nor will any
honest government official ask them
to. Acts that are wrong in times of
absolute peace are dou5ly culpable
when committed under cover of the
nations strained international rela.
tions. If it is the duty of American
citizens to be loyal to the administra-
ton, it is doubly the duty of the ad-
ministration to he loyal to the people.
When defenders of any administration
seek to avoid criticism or scrutiny of
it's official acts because important dip
lomatic correspondence is under way,
it is time to give special attention
to the manner in which public bust
ness is being conducted. Pitiless pub.
licity was never more needed than
when public attention is diverted

IKE EP COOL.

There is intense disappointment be-
cause the tone OF the German note
was ~evasive. Wilson's note has been
answered by a new set Of questions,
This is the favorite diversion OF the
diplomats.
But there is no cause for excite.
ment. Nothing as yet has transpired
in these negotiations to cause a ter.
mination of diplomatic relations with
Germany. In brief, Germany is still
celebrating and asks for additional
information from. this nation.
President Wilson Is preparing his
reply. 1t doubtless will be vigorous
and direct in terms. The nation is
with the chief executive in this crisis
and he serves best just now who says
least.

of the plant and destroy them. Where

the plant is in rows it may be plowed

in a specially prepared poison, then

ELIMINATE PROFIT.

Because railway equipment compan.
les lack business for their factories
they are willing to take orders at
prices so low as to eliminate profit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity
to get ears and locomotives at sacri.
flee prices, some of the eastern rail.
roads have placed a few orders. And
it is this sort of business that demo.
cratci newspapers point to as an evi.
dence of revived industry. The fac.
tory that takes orders for the pur.
pose of keeping machinery from rust.

who works for his board to keep from
starving. In each instance there is
useful employment, but it would he
hard to induce either to accept sucl,

BEGIN AT ThE HOME.

Parental responsibility is usually
the last thing emphasized by social
workers in their efforts. to protect the
young against demoralizing condi
tions. New York is now in the midst
Of a great crusade against the cabaret
because a young heiress was arrested
and charged with incorrigibility.
This particular delinquent is both
rich and handsome, hence the reason
why public attention is focused upon
conditions in the Broadway lobster
palaces. Incorrigibility among the
women of New York is not unusual
Every day the police courts chronicle
cases similar to that Of this p~articu.
lar woman, whose millions gave her
delinquency special emphasis in the
press.
Gotham is just learning the inside
facts of the tango parlors. Reformers
are organizing purity lbrigades to visit
them and prescribe the usual but in
effective a~ntidote-the lid. .-@
These modern dances, as %grotesque
at times as the futurist's art, have
caught many girls in their snare, not
that the dance per Sc was immoral,
but because those who executed it
were. A girl about to come into
millions slips on the primrose path Of
dalliance and pouf! there follows an
investigation. What of the ninety and
nine girls in a lower strata of society,
who are allowed to keep on slipping?
The cause Of female or male delin-
uuency is not to he found in the cab
arets, dazzling and attractive as they
are to the night sense Of humans, but
IN the home, where the first lessons
Of restraint should be taught. If the
home fails to temper the will against
excess in any line Of pleasure, that
restraint cannot be secured by mailing

Amusement, however, can be kept
respectable With the help Of the home
influence. Social reformers have
their place in the great drama of hu-
man life, but they cannot discharge
the duties Of a mother and a father.
Reform the home first and better
conditions will follow as a result in
the amusement halls. The feminist
movement places too little emphasis
upon the home and its opportunities.
There is no one social unit today that
is more neglected than the home. Our
juvenile and kindred courts prove
this.
Someone has well said that it is
Just as exciting to be good if you only
know how to take it that way.
But the reform that claps the lid
on all forms of public recreation is
akin to that kind of precaution which
has been stolen.
