Heating Child Labor bill. by an over

hibiting an interstate commerce in

this measure careful consideration.

We would not be surprised that
citizens of one nation fail to under
stand the people of another nation,
speaking a different tongue, when We
see how many Americans whose
grandfathers were citizens of this
country completely fail to understand

lived in it most of their lives, Travelled
across it and up and down it; yet Ger
tain concrete proofs that it isn't Eng
land, or France or Germany or Italy

pret them as meaning that it is try
ing to be England or France or Ger
many and failing in the attempt.
The United States is officially neu-
trail as to the European war and VIII
go very far to avoid any war, not be-
cause it is more devoted to profits
than any other nation nor because it
lacks spirit or sinews of genuine pa
triotism, but simply because it has
some intelligence. For two years the
chief ibiect before the United States,
no doubt involving the highest ser
vice it could render mankind, was to
take the advantage of its position by
just staying sane. Americans who do
not understand that do not under

l5Ie to Show-preSumably their fig
ures are correct-tEat they have cap
ured 2,65S,0oo prisoners of war, the
reat proportion OF which have come
from Russia. Some half million are
French and $4,000 are British. The
Tuetonic allies also hold $4,000
square kilometers of foreign soil. All
of Belgium. save SEQ square miles, is
Soverned as a German province; IL
eco square miles Of French territory
are held and all Of Poland, together
with a considerable section Of Wes-
.5rn Russia are in German hands. 1t
viii thus be seen that Germany and
her allies. Austria and Bulgaria. have
Ia tremendous lead over their foeman
Gt the end of the first two years.
With the single exception of the in
"aSiOn of East Prussia by the Rus
slams in the early stages of the war,
no foe has yet set foot on German
soil 1t is true than the French hold
a small corner of Alsace and Lorraine
but in as much as these provinces
were wrested from France less than
forty years ago, it can hardly be con-
sidered that Germany has been iu-
vaded.
Opposed to this. the Germans ad-
nit that the allies have captured
1886, 1000 men, the greater number
of which have been Austrians. How
many Germans remain prisoners in
the hands of the enemy is not stated.
Nor have any vast number Of Turks
been captured. 1t has been estimat-
ed that perhaps half million Ger
mans are prisoners in the hands of
the enemy. Taking Germany's own
figures for it, therefore, that country
is not in a very good position to invite
reprisals from the English. There
are more German prisoners in Eng
land at the present time than there
areEnglish prisoners in Germany, so
it will be seen that if it comes to a
question of killing prisoners for the
purpose of being avenged on the
enemy, the British have the best of it.

GETTING IN DEBT.

To those whose hours of waking
and whose dreams have been filed
with the night mares of an overwhel-
ming Indebtedness, who has experien-
ced the swift approach of the date Of
a maturity of note, the recon-
mendations to follow may seem radi-
cal. We advise young men to get in
debt. But understand, we would
qualify the bare statement, and tell
the young man just starting in life,
not to plunge.
But with this qualification, we will
say, Young man get into debt Go
to any average community and take a
canvass OF the elderly, conservative
business man? Ask them the expert
ence of their youth, and you will find
that most of them are graduates Of
the college of hard knocks, that early
in life they gained conception of the
value of a dollar by having to make
their own living; that they were in
debt by the time they reached their
majority. 1t is perhaps fortunate for
the young man, of the right make up,
to be thrown into debt at this early
period of life DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan, president-emeritus of Stanford
University, says that the boy who has
to work his way through college is
more fortunate than the lad whose
fathers money pays his way.
And so we would say to that class
Of young men, who through Hecessity
are not thrown into debt, accure some
obligation, assume the responsibility
of a debt, buy piece of property
Thus there will be call for your
earnings. The lesson of the value
of money will come to you at some
stage Of life. 1t is better that you
learn it early.

NO REASON FOR CONCEIT.

In exports and imports, the United
States now leads the world. Recent
figures show that this country has re-
Gently done a combined export and
import business totalling S6.500,0 ,000,-
600. War orders filled in this coun-
try for the beligerent nations of Eu-
rope have placed the United States
at the head of the list for export and
import business. England has taken
a back seat
Yet we should not be too proud.
The very countries which We have
now excelled are the very ones who
are engaged in carrying on the great
est slaughter the world has wit
messed. England, France, and Ger
many alike are so interlocked in the
throes of warfare that their COM
merce could do nothing else but
dwindle. Germany especially,
through the blockade of her enemies,
has been powerless to maintain a
trade intercourse with other nations.
Consequently the United States has
seen a great increase in ocean com
merce. But we should not be too
proud or conceited.
When we stop to consider the ad-
vantage we have had during the past
two years, it is but logical that this
country should step out and take
what the benighted nations on the
battle scourged continent were un-
able to grasp-the cream of interna-
tional trade.
The honor would be far greater in
years Of peace. C9mmercialized
America would have done we'll to dis
play this growth in a peaceful year.
Let us not be too conceited nor take
too much glory in a success that has
come about through the misfortune
of nations who are now facing the
greatest calamity that has ever yet
visited the people of the Earth.

It doesn't seem absolutely neces-
sary that governments should be such
frauds as they are. Our government
for example, in offering the new pos
tai guide at reduced prices to the pub
lie, states in italics that postage
stamps will not be accepted" And
yet, the government by its action
forces ordinary people to accept that
sort of currency. By refusing to pro-
vide the people with a suitable paper
currency for mail-order purposes, I'm
Gle Sam drives the people to the use
of postage-stamps in the making of
small remittances by mail. Stamps,
as we all know, are totally unsuitable
for use as currency; they often be-
come stuck together and publishers
and others suffer large losses in con-
sequence. Uncle Sam will not take
back his own stamps, or accept them
as money; moreover he will not rec
ignize any that are torn or defaced,
and he tacitly forbids the use of
stamps as currency. The effort seems
to be to make just as much trouble
and expense as possible to the citi-
zens. A sort of paper currency pri-
marily for mailing purposes could
easily be provided by the government,
and it would be one of the greatest
benefits that could possibly be con-
ferred on the people. Farmers and
merchants could then market articles
through the mails by parcel-post
without all the present rigamarole.
When people have to go to all the
trouble and expense of money-or-
der, for a small sum, it operates as a
discouragement and tax on the free
interchange of products. Most other
civilized countries have a fractional
paper currency, and it is found most
convenient for the people. But this
country is half-century behind the
times in this regard, just as it was in
regard to the parcel-post. We boast
of our progressiveness, but we are
more backward than China about
some things.-Pathfinder.

FAIR CHOOSES COLORS

The Morrow County Fair Board
has chosen orange and black as the
official colors of the organization
and this will be the main color
scheme in the decorative effect during
the next county fair. Every business
house in town will be decked in these
colors and big effort will be made
to cover the main streets with orange
and black bunting.
Heretofore little attention has been
given to decorating. The board be-
lieves the decorations will add a great
deal to the success of the three days.
Decorators are urged to get their or
der for bunting in early. 1t may be
purchased through any of the local
dry goods stores.

What we are doing in equipping
and sustaining European armies is
nothing compared with what We
could do for ourselves if an enemy
were at our coasts. If the world in
arms attempted to war on us they
would lack what they cannot get else
where in their present dire need
This is as true of economic war as of
hostilities. If the industrial world
besides ourselves divided itself, into
two hOstiia camps neither could make
war on the other without our sup
plies. We would trade with both of
the economic alliances, equally The
Paris alliance of the entente and the
custOms-union of Germanic Eur0pe.
IN business every nation is a neutral
to every other. We should trade
where we found our profit, Just as the
business men of the two combinations
in restraint of trade would trade with
each other, and are doing 50 now
whenever they they can escape
punishment. The various councils
of nations which have met to make
political alliances have failed be-
cause they were based either on the
wrong sort of politics or ecomics or
both. When the parliment of man
meets it is usually thought that it
will be concerned chiefly with laws.
international economics is more i'm
portant than international law
While the world is fairly agreed
about international law the world
has not advanced beyond the stage of
war in economics.
