such governmental supervision of sub

The root OF the trouble is back in

JUST A FAMILY IN TOWN.

The state department Of labor is re-
! sponsioie for the news that in paven-
port one family contains twenty cne
children. That Is abou, all the story
except that the youngest child works
in a laundry The suggestion is that
it is a worhingmans family, not q
wealthy one, and that the other chill
dren are busy like the Youngest who
works in a laundry" The further in
ference is that the heads of that fam
lily have worked like nailers and gone
without many things 70 feed all those
mouths and keep shoes on those forty
two feet.
Now what have that father and
mother and that family done for the
town." Suppose that the whole blessed
family Of twenty-one are living and
working for wages ranging from 500
month down TO the $40 week in
the laundry Average the monthly
wage OF the bunch at $50. That's $3.50
month that is spent at the stores,
bank every month by the children Of
this family. That's over $4,000 a year
added 20 the wealth Of Davenport by
the family of Old Mr.. and Mrs. Soand-
so. And that's a lot of money. In
twenty years its 100000. And that's
some sum also.
But suppose they went wrong: sup
pose instead Of working for wages the
whole bunch had gone the wrong way.

WHAT WILL WILSON DOT

Perhaps ii is bothersome business
during the weeks preceding marriage,
but what is the president going TO do
as TO British assumption Of censorst-
of trade between this country and
neutral nations?
The proposition is from the British
side that this country is to be per-
mitted to trade with such neutral
countries as Norway and Sweden, Hol-
land, Denmark and Greece only under
the censorship and supervision OF
Great Britain that those countries are
TO be permitted to receive only such
quantities OF our commercial COM
modities as Great Britain deems neces-
sary for the subsistence of those coun-
tries. In short 20 dole out and manage
the commerce of the United States
with other neutral countries.
AS an instance. cotton is 10 be sold
to the neutral countries only in such
quantities as Great Britain shall agree
to.
Another instance: the grain and
foodstuffs shipped to neutral countries
OF Holland and Greece and Norway are
to be limited as TO quantity under the
censorship Of Great Britain.
Now il is easy to understand why
Great Britain should desire 10 limit
and control the shipments Of neces-
sites to neutral countries. No doubt
some par, CT these shipments lind their
way into Germany from the neutral
European nations: but what has the
Unoted States to DO with that? What
Justification has any country TO deny
free commerce between the United
States and any other country not at
war? If neutral countries are reship-
ping our goods that seems TO be 4
question for settlement between them
and Great Britain, not of arrogant pro-
hibi.ion Of shipments from neutral
country 70 another neutral.
A cargo Uf foodstutfs bound 20
neutral port under the American flag
has a right TO the high seas without
interference. The suspicion that il may
thru the commerce OF another coun-
Try come 10 the hands Of warning ma
ton has nothing 10 do with its rights
under the flag and on the high seas.
And this right should be as sternly
upheld as thar other right of American

War, Franc. and Religion.

"As far as 1t is possible to reckon
the future by the present. judging by
what we see and hear at the pres
ent time, we have reason to assert tfat
the changed point of view in France
will produce complete change in the
religious situation when the war Is
over It Is already spoken Of every
where. and especially among the work
ing people. 1t is the universal cry.
Henceforth France viii not give place

the sectaries-the inimical minority
win not disarm One should not be
astonished TO see them open an active
campaign against Catholics. Formerly
by means of skilful calumnies. they
might have drawn in their wake the
whole mass of indiferents. But to-
day that great mass Is no longer in
different: that Is the major point. BY
means Of the war II has formed re-
lig.ous opinion. Most of the thous-
ands Of soldiers, who, during days
never to be forgotten, have lived with
the priest and with death. believe and
practise their religion today: even
those who have not found faith and
piety have only sympathy ana r.spec:
for priests and religion: there Is not
one among them who would favor an
anti clerical policy: not one who would
permit it. It would be like firing on
their comrades IN the trenches.
Now all the men between nineteen
and forty-eigft, excepting invalids, are
soldiers. with their parents. who are
older. and their brothers and sons. who
are younger and who, naturally. will
think as they do. they include all. or
. nearly all. the men in France-the
whole, or nealy the whole. OF the cleo

anticlericals. and II the government
makes common cause with this minor

situation today is 50 evident that the
government will take good care not to

ali Sorts of Opinions
Atheism LesaIized in Britain.

A revolution in the constitution of
Great Britain Is noted by a writer
calling attention IL a Tccc:. decision
of the court of appeals making 1t now
for the first time legally recognized
that the promotion of atheism is per-
fectly legal and that a trust for the
purpose viii be enforced by the
courts" The writer in the Church
Times, signing himself Lex" states
with ironic appreciation of the new
situation created that sit is true that
an atheistic trust is still not formally
recognized as a charity; but inasmuch
as limited company may be lawfully
formed for the purpose Of promoting
atheism, atheists are for practical pur-
poses as much established as the sep
aratist churches and the Roman Cath-
olics." In fact. he declares that "athe-
lists stand today legally in better
position than Catholics. whether OF the
English or Roman obedience Inc
will which created this revolution
in the British constitution was mace
by man named Bowman, VINO lelt
the greater part Of his fortune to the
Secular Society, thereby disinheriting
his own issue. Az between religion
and .secularism, the case now stanos
as follows in England:
Let man disinherit his offspring
and give his estate to promote atne-
ism. the law upholds the gift. Let
widow leave G1o for masses Tor her
own and her husbands soul and the
law, on grounds Of public policy, can
