True Americanisn.
Utica. PreSs.)

By common consent and usage though not technically correct. the word American is accepted as desig- rating a citizen of the United States In that sense it is not geographical merely as indicating where a man lives but defines his nationality and his citizenship. If a citizens first thought is for the welfare of any other nation, then he is not a good American.
 Accepting that relation, a natural ized citizen and all his descendants should put his adopted country first, foremost and at the head of every other. That does not mean forget ting the old home or losing interest in it. it's people or it's affairs. 1t does mean, however, that the interests of the old home should always and in every respect be secondary to those of the new allegiance to which he has taken under solemn oath. The for eigners who have come hero have been dealt with kindly and consider ately and been given every oppor- tunity, and many of them have inn proved it splendidly. Most of them appreciate the situation exactly as 1t is and many of them have taken up arms in defense of their adopted country.
 The subject just now is the more timely because of the inevitable temp tation not only to harbor and express prejudice and preference with refer ence to European war, but to do something to help one or the other, not strictly in accord with the letter and spirit of neutrality as defined in international law

The Bread Tax,
(NeW York World. !

(New York World.)
 Paying six cents loaf today for bread, an extra tax that will pre- sently aggregate millions of dollars, New Workers should not overlook the two falsehoods upon which the ex- tortion is based.
 They are asked to believe that flour is costing the bakers $S.75 a barrel, nearly twice as much as usual. This is purely speculative price, resulting from desperate gambling in the wheat-pits. It is not the price which the great baking esta blishments are paying for their supplies. The big bakers contracted for their flour long ago, just as the big mllers cont tracted for their wheat. Speculative prices for wheat and flour infiict hardship upon small millers and bakers who buy from hand to mouth. They furnish reason but no ex- cuse for the cent which by the ac- ton of the big breadmakers has now been added to the loaf
 The inhabitants of New York are also asked to accept the statement that this ineNcusable levy came about spontaneously, without consultati o1 or agreement, the fact that it was in concert being nothing more than a strange coincidence. Those who have seen war taxes imposed by con- gress will not fail to note the re- sem mblance between the adoption of the stamp. law and the formal pro- mitigation of the bread tax. Both were openly discussed; both were re- sisted and both became effective on the plea of necessity, the one as clear ly the result of deliberation as the other.
 Official action against the bread ombine will amount to nothing un- less it addresses itself to these two falsehoods. The facts may be easily ascertained by a grand jury or by committee of the legislature or of congress. A private interest that is able to impose upon New York fi- nahcial burdens resembling those which invaders inflct upon conquered provinces should at least be made to show it's books and tell the truth

Where Bibles are Made.

The American Bible Society is
primarily an agency for the distri-
button of the Scriptures, but in.
cidenlally it is also a publishing
house on an extensive scale. Near
ly half OF it's issues are printed at
the Bible House in New York, but
those in the Asiatic languages are
printed in Constantinople, Turkey p;
Beirut, Syria; Bangkok and Chieng
Mai. Siam; Shanghai, Foochow,
Chentu and Hinghwa, China, and
Yokohoma, Japan. Most of the
presses doing this part of our work
belong to various missions, but the
expense of manufacture is met by
the American Bible Society.
The presses in some of the coun-
tries OF Asia were not able during
1913 to print the Scriptures fast
enough to meet the needs Of the
colporteurs and missionary socie-
ties in those countries. New print
ing centers might we'll be establish
ed in the East in order to meet the
increasing demand for the Bible.

0. P. Hof Fears For
Safety Of Window
Washers at State House

State Labor Commissioner o. P. Hoff
called the attention Of the board or
control yesterday to the fact that
"The state house and some Of the 9th.
er state buildings are, at the present
time, without proper equipment to
safeguard window cleaners against
falling; there being no hooks on the
outside of windows to which may be
fastened a safety belt, which employ.
ess, when called on to clean windows
from the outside, should be compelled
TO use."
Under the laws Of the state all own
ers or persons having charge Of public
buildings are required to use safety de.
vices for the protection Of the life and
limbs Of their employees and Mr.. HOff
states that the state house, supreme
court building and other state build
ings are without safety devices. Mem
bers Of the board Of control said today
that the state house and administration
buildings were in the direct custody Of
