SHALL MONEY AND CORRUPT
SENATORS BEAT THE OWEN
DILL?-The country should awaken
to the fact that a great struggle is
taking place in congress between the
powers of corruption and the forces
of pure government.
This struggle is going on over a
bill for doing away with corrupt
practices in federal elections.
1t is a bill directed against the buy
ing of elections. 1t seeks to strike
off the Shiny hand of MONEY from
the wrist of the voter as he marks
his ticket.
This bill is called the Owen cor
rupt practices act and was intro
duced at the beginning Of the session
by Senator Owen.
Every Republican in the senate is
opposed to it except six or eight of
the old insurgent group. The Dem
ocrats who are opposed to it are the
traitors in the camp.
The party opposing a corrupt prac-
tees act now can do so for only one
reason. That reason is that that
party intends to corrupt this country
with a great slush fund at the COM
ing election.
There is only one reason why a |
Democratic senator or representa-
we should oppose the Owen corrupt !
practices act. That reason is that |
because Of his own alliances with
corrupt capital, or because he is a
man of wealth and wishes to use his
wealth in politics, he himself wishes

WHAT)YoU AT, cARRANZA?-

VITA " IOO. Al SANRANEAS-
CarTanza's recent decree prohibiting
foreign stockholders in Mexican cor
porations from claiming the protec-
ton Of their home governments will,
of course, be protested by the United :
States and the European powers, for
it would create a precedent sufficient
to cause capitalstic buccaneers to i
shUdder in horror the whole world
over.
But you can just bet that the pros
test will in every case come from the
weak ones. Being a citizen Of one Of
those strong ones, and of more or
less of a buccaneering turn our
selves, we say down with it, muy
pronto.. But nevertheless, we have
a sneaking conviction that if Car ,
rama was strong enough to make it
go, the decree would prove a remedy ,
for a good many of Mexico's ills and
might save Uncle Sam a lot Of trou-
bic in the future. Also, that its gen.
eral acceptance by the world would
establish a sort Of international
golden rule by which an even break
would be given to citizens of weak
who invest capital in
stronger ones which they sure have
not got now. =ee- .zt-Tz' nz-'Gs aglg

Where Austria's soldiers are coming
from is another of the big mysteries
of the great war. Reports have it that
she has lost another $4,000 men in the
present Italian drive against Trieste.
If all of the losses that Austria has
been alleged to have sustained since
the war began were authentic, the
dual empire would enjoy the unique
distinction of having lost more soldiers
in the war than there were able
bodied men within her confines at the
outbreak of the European hostilities

CARDS men, vessels, and equipment,
and an army of the most patriotic
quality and surest efficiency. To Sc
cure this navy and this army it needs
to adopt the principle of universal SER
vice. To do nothing and run for luck
is not good sense, when such vital in
terests are at stake. Those who think
it high time for men to learn war no
more, and that all teaching of the
military art is to be deplored, can con
sole themselves with the reflections
that, whereas many millions of young
Americans, on the principle Of univer-
sal service, would learn how to fight,
only a small proportion of the total
mass would ever be called on actually
to fight, and that the better the teach
ing the smaller that proportion would
probably be. Moreover, the small
proportion of American youth that in
the course Of years would come to the
actual killing OF fellowmen would be
actuated at the moment by lofty mo-
tives such as love of home and coun-
try and unselfish devotion to the high
est interests of humanity.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The chief feature of the past month
has been the rise of prices, particu-
larly in agricultural products, based
upon confirmation of earlier reports
concerning the crops, points out the
current month bulletin on the general
business conditions in this country
that has just been issued by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. There
is no escape from the unpleasant fact.
this bulletin continues, that this coun-
try and the whole world are entering
upon a year of scarcity, and of prob
ably the highest prices for food prod
ucts experienced by the present gen
Grafton. 1t is, of course, something to
be deplored from every viewpoint, and
can only be an unfavorable factor
in the business situation until relief Is
afforded by a more abundant yield of
the common necessities. The vast ma
chinery Of the industrial and business
world is too complicated to allow of
ready adaptation thruout to these
sudden changes in the cost of living,
and they inevitably inflict much hard
ship upon individuals and occasion no
little industrial arrangement a..
The governments October estimate
upon the years production of wheat in
the United States was 607,577,OOO
bushels, which compares with a final
estimate of 1,O11, sos. 900 bushels in
1915. Furthermore, the government
estimates the average weight of this
crop at ola pounds. per measured
bushel, against SIS last year. This is
calculated to be equivalent to a fur
ther reduction of about 6O,0OO,00C
bushels. . Altogether the worlds
wheat crop is about rs per cent below
last years. and the prospect is that
every available bushel will be wanted
to meet normal consumption, leaving
practically nothing to be carried over
The situation is aggravated by
the fact that there is no compensatins
abundance in any of the other fooC
crops. Corn gives only a moderate
yield, oats are a fair crop, potatoes ar,
distinctly short, and the vegetables anC
fruits used for canning are all in shor
supply. Corn bids fair to sell in tn,

THE NEED FOR THRIFT.

The average total family income in
the United States, including women
and children, is bet, n 800 and $500
a year, according to statistics which
have been collected by the American
Society for Thrift.
Between 1900 and 1914 the average
increase in the retail prices of food
was about 60 per cent, while wages
increased a little less than 80 per cent.
And because of the recent and unprec-
edented increases in food prices over
what they were in 1914, the last year
for which accurate statistics are avail
able, the disparity between them and
wage increases is much greater.
But no matter what may be the
cause of this condition of affairs, or
what the remedy for them, if there
be one, the moral would seem to be
plain: The average American of the
future must be thrifty.
Our population is increasing at the
rate of 4433 a day. Statisticians es-
innate that within a few years this in
crease will reach 10000 day There
will then be even greater cause for
| thrift.
A movement is on foot in the Ma
tional Education association, the Off
cial organization of the school teach
ers of the country. for devising plans
of teaching thrift in our schools. This
means beginning at the foundation, as
the American Society for Thrift points
out, and the results on the happiness
prosperity and security of the future
American will be beyond comprehen-
sion.
There are over 100000 worker.
in America. If each worker begar
now to save a dime a day, the aggre
gate accumulations would reach
$1,465,750,976 a year. or if each saved
a dime a week the total would b,
$2Os, s,S19,S17. The saving of a dim,
a month by each worker woulC
amount to s48.1Ss,0s3, and only ;
dime year would mean $4,015,75O
American Society for Thrift stats
tics show that 95 per cent of the mel
are dependent upon their daily earn
ing, or on others, for support at tn
age of so, and that not one man II
thirty who retires with a competenc,
is able to retain that competency t
the close of life.
These are things for the patriot
American to think about This is
nation of manifest destiny, but ther
are evil days ahead unless our peopl
begin at once the practice of thrift.

emeritus of Harvard, contributes
forcefully to the discussion on the
need of universal military service. or
training. in this country in an article
in the Worlds Work. in the course of
which he writes: For the nations that
already possess a good deal of free
dom. and mean to have more, there
is no other way to security and peace
than to organize and use their own
forces with greater skill and more de-
votion than the nations despotically
ruled exhibit. Like all the other free
nations, the United States must be pre-
pared to defend its territory and its
