IN SULTING
THE FLAG.

A Yale professor says that 1t is less
of an insult to the flag to spit on it
than TO spill American blood on it.
Maybe so, in the professors own
eyes. Very likely he believes that it
would be deep disgrace If it became
necessary for Kim to shed little Of
his own academic blood in defense of
the flag and what 1t stands for And
very likely he thinks il no disgrace
for the flag for him to spit on it-as
he does. virtually, in making such a
statement.
But one mans opinion doesn't prove
whether any particular thing Is an in
suit or not. An insult Is purely mat
ter OF sentiment, and it's the senti-
ment Of the majority that determines
the matter. Therefore, If the profess
sor wants TO make a scientific test of
whethe" splitting on the flag is an in.
suit, let him take flag out on Yale's
campus and spit on II in view of the
students, who, SO far as Yale is con.
cerned. represent the American public.
What happens to the professor will
probably settle the question.
Or still better let the learned pro-
lessor subject the Stars and Stripes
to such an expectorant experiment in
the streets of any American city, with
an ordinary American crowd looking
on.

A LESSON
TO MONoPoLISTS.


If the government armorplate plant
is established, as 1t will be according
TO the present outlook. the private in.
terests that are now complaining so
loudly will have themselves to blame
For nearly thirty years there has
been monopoly in this industry.
Three companies have co-operated in
working the government for all they
could get. How much they have prof
tied may be inferred by these state
ments made by the New York World:
In the year 1898 the Bethlehem Steel
company, now the chief opponent of
the federal plant, charged the United
States $616 ton for armor plate and
the following year sold the same sort
OF plate to Russia for $249 ton. In
1911 the price to our government had
been reduced to $500. but the company
sold the same product to Italy for
1898. Later, II charged the United
States $440 to 1904 ton for armor.
plate, and sold it TO Japan for $4O6. 35.
Even If there were no prospect of
saving money, such a record would OBJ.
viously entitle existing armor-plate in.
fArHsts IN M more consideration: from.
the government or public than any
hard-headed business man might be
expected TO give. But it is expected
that real saving can be effected.
The Bethlehem company has offered
TO reduce its price from $425 Il ton to
rate ranging from 1895 TO $4O2. 80,
on condition that the government re.
frain from competition. II also Offers
In case the government is still uncon-
vinced of it's good faith, to provide
the armor needed for the new naval
construction program at whatever
price the Federal Trade Commission
snail pronounce fair. year or two
ago such an offer would have been ac
cepted. Now it seems to be too late.
Experts are said to have estimated
that the government can produce ar
NOR plate at cost of as low as $3.50
ton. If 1t can be produced for so
per cent. more than that, 1t will be
quite worth while to go into the bust
ness. Government representatives
point to the fact that private com.
pany used to be paid 80 cents a pound
for smokeless powder, and when Uncle
sam went into the powder business
himself nearly everybody prophesied
failure. Yet the government plant to.
day, with a capacity of 5000 pounds n
year, Is making the powder ut an ac.
tual cost Of "a cents, or, counting in.
yestment and overhead charges as a
private company would do, at a price
OF 80 cents pound
1t isn't likely, in any event that the
government will lose money In its ar
mor.plate venture, If the right men are
put in charge of the plant. And If it
does nothing more than come off with.
out loss, 1t will have taught a useful
lesson to would.be monopolists in
various branches of the war supplies
business.

cation for the United States army
recruiting office, located on n. Mich
igan St, in charge of Sergt John s.
Skees. Since its opening in March
29S men have visited the Office and
applied for enlistment. Out of this
number % men were accepted and
sent to the state barracks at Co
lumbus. O. More than half of these
were local boys.
During the month of November
"a men were accepted and % men
have already been sent from here
since Dec. l. The increase of ap-
plicants is due TO the new law which
enables a man to serve for one year
only. The law went into effect the
middle of November, causing the
number of enlistments to be more
than doubled.
Out of the total number of en-
hstments As went to the infantry. 20

viii be held Friday evening at 1880
o'clock when a banquet will be
given at the Nicholson Inn.
\ quiet movement TO line up the
"drys" among the democrats has

and other parts Of the 18th con-
gressional district for several weeks.
it became known Thursday. Some
time ago a number OF the party met
and named Dan Pyle as the 18th

1t is probable that something will
be done at Friday nights meeting
to assist in the statewide movement
TO make the democratic party dry
one. William J. Bryan, ex-secretary
of state, started the proposition in
Indiana several weeks ago while at
tending the national conference OF
the Women's Christian Temperance
union in Indianapolis At that time
