Have We Done Our Full Duty?

On an electric car the other day we
heard man loudly boasting that
america" is Juggling the war-stricken
peoples of Europe-feeding 'em and
and salaries to an army of profess
sional beggars." There was much
more of it, delivered into the ear of
quiet gentleman who apparently did
not know or care and was bored by the
attention attracted to his section of
the car. The loud-mouthed one had
evidently reached his own conclusions
without bothering to consult facts and
to have attempted to set him right
would have been waste of breath.
But we fear there are many people
all about us who entertain some of the
extravagant notions shouted by the
man on the car. They honestly be-
lieve that America is giving not only
generously but lavishly for the reliet
of suffering in Europe. 1t may sur
prise them to hear that this richest
and most generous people in the
world" are showing so little interest
r. the sufferings OF their cousins
across the sea, that if left to them
millions long ago would have starved
to death.
Did you, dear reader. have any idea
that American relief giving thus far
has been such as should bring blush
OF shame to our cheeks?
Read the following letter from the
Federal Council Of the Churches OF
Christ in America:

Why the Diff?

John Callan O'Laughlin is authority
for the assertion that Wilson wants
the death penalty inflicted upon the
submarine commander who torpedoed
the Sussex This is carrying the pas
sion for humanity" to an incredible ex-
IRENE. 1t was demand something like
this which Austria made upon Serbia
and which brought on the war in Eu-
rope. There remains such a thing as
governmental freedom of action, even
though Woodrow Wilson is speaking.
And, while we are on this subject,
let us recall that no such a demand
has been made upon Carranza regard

Democratic "CiviI Service"

The Democrats of the Senate have
again given proof of their devotion
to the principles of civil service reform
by refusing to provide that the en-
ployes Of the proposed land bank
board shall be taken from the certified
list. They have provided, however, that
these employees, once appointed with
out examination. may be covered into
the classified service by executive or
der.
We can foresee the procedure If the
bill passes "a lot of Democratic bench
men will be given good jobs under it,;
and about the first of next March. just
before Wilson leaves the White House,
he will issue proclamation covering
all these deserving Democrats into the
protection of the civil service rules.
