HISTORY THAT ISN'T SO

Since the discussion OF the necessity OF preparedness
began, several eminent Americans have protested v1gor-
ously against the manner in which United States history
is taught in the schools. Assistant Secretary OF the navy
Roosevelt righteously declaims against the id1ocy OF the
text books which try to make the American boy beheVe
that one American can lick half a dozen Englishmen or
Germans. Gas a matter of fact" he says, we won te
war of the revolution largely because the french were dDe
to send us a fleet at a critical time and were successful
briefly, in wrestling from the British the control OF the seas
The school books do not mention how we paid the Meolt-
erranean pirates $4,000 annually in tribute for protec-
ton which was not given. In the war OF 1912 we oS'
every engagement of consequence on the lano' ana A.
though we did better on the sea, we failed to Dreak III
British grip on sea control. During the war England "a
fighting Napoleon, and our war stopped because the war
in Europe ended and the cause OF the war CAME ~ oh
end. There was nothing more to fight for"
But the impression is almost universal IN this coun-
trv that we won both our wars with England, won them
decisively by our superior fighting ability. Even so wen
informed a man as Mr.. Bryan seems to think we couia OF
eanize over night an army of volunteers tit to nght
Europe's trained veterans. We Americans are too prone
to think that our military achievements are something to
boast of. If any sound judgment is to be formed, the
truth must be known. And of all places to tell the truth
the place is in the schoolrOom.

THAT TERRIFIC SILENCE

"The bedbug has no wings at all, but IT gets there
lust the same" The Hughes boom reached Chicago VIII
the first delegates and is very much IN evidence heie'
albeit it has no established headquarters, no bands no
banners, no fireworks, t~orchlight procession, steam rolierS
and other parapherna1ia in most cases made and provided
There has never been anything quite like 1t.
Mr.. Hughes supporters are proceeding on the theory
that silence gives consent, and the chances are the theory
is correct. Mr.. Hughes is not going to let any man or
combination of men put him in the hole. He is not gong
to he smoked out. WHY should he? If any delegate to
the Chicago convention doesn't like his attitude he doesn't
have to vote for him. what hurts the colonel" writes
one observer at Chicago, us the undisguised fact that the
people are willing to trust Mr.. Hughes without am dec
laration on his part. They have no doubt that he IS just
as good an American as the colonel and Just as mach in
terested in preparing this country against attacks from
foreign foes. The public and private record OF Charles
Evans Hughes speaks louder than words of his patriotism,
his love of Justice, his humanity and his loyalty to Am"rl-
can ideas"

THE BURNING QUESTION

The radical falling off of European imports incident
to the war has naturally created an unprecedented de-
mand for the products of American factories and has Civ
en- rise as we'll to a necessity for the establishment of sew
eral industries heretofore of little consequence in the Unit
ed States. If only these are given adequate protection
when Europe resumes business all may be we'll with us.
The war has happily stood between us and our free trade
folly for the past two years, but the war will not continue
indefinitely. Already there are suggestions OF a desire
for peace in all the war-torn nations, and peace, we must
understand, will be followed by an industrial struggle
for supremacy fully as frenzied as the struggle for mill
.tary supremacy. 1t is going to be a struggle, too. in
which Europe must go on a black bread basis. There will
be long hours for short pay. Women and children will
fill the factories and their products will be cheap. If the
United States is to maintain her present standard of hours
and wages, if there is to be progress and not retrogression
in the living conditions of wage workers, it will be because
we throw about them the high tariff wall. That's the sit
uation exactly and there is no use beating about the bush.
Facts are facts and common sense commends them to us
for our action.

TO WHICH WILL WE LOOK?

The Tribune has no wish to appear unkind, or to ag-
oravate. accentuate or otherwise intensity the discomfort
of those patriots who travelled the country tour years ago
shouting about the high cost of living and those other
natriots who sat at their editorial desks writing columns
about the distress of the poor WOrk1ngman who mad TO
meet this cost. The panacea they prescribed was accepted
bv the people they talked to and wrote to. one OF tue
most violent and vociferous of these patriots was the edi
for of z middle west newspaper, more Spec1f1calY III r"t
Wavne Gnd) Gazette, and it is therefore almost starving
70 discover in the news columns of his newspaper the fol
lowing:
Washington, D. c., May 20. = Prices of staple
foods in the United States increased on an average
of one per cent from February Is to March IS last
figures made public today by the department o.
labor show that all meat prices increased, as did the
price of sugar. Eggs, milk, flour and potatoo~
were cheaper.
Prices advanced eight per cent during the Nc"'
from March, 1915, to March, 1916, and prices on
March Is, 1916, averaged five per cent h'eher man
for the entire year of 1915. Eighteen foods IN
creased in price during the wear; tive did nor
change and three were lower.
A table covering prices for the last fifteen years
shows that the purchasing power OF a dollar has de-
creased steadily in all foods.
Tn 1900 a dollar bought 81 pounds of round
steak. today it will purchase IS pounds; pork chops
sold at o. pounds for a dollar against "a now;
bacon eight pounds against 80; ham. 90 against
22: lard 1913 against 90: hens "A against 40; eggs

pounds against I47.
There will be two national conventions IN session IN
that middle-west section this month, one of them con
venine tomorrow. One will determine the fiscal policy
of this country for the next four wears. In the light OF
the above official declaration from Washington on the
failure of the dominant issue Of the last campaign. what
will that policy be. and which of the two conventions will
proclaim IT?

PLATFORMS TO THE POINT

A platform brief and to the point as suggested,
would be a highly welcome innovation b the impending
national conventions. The trouble is that the platform
makers are always beleaguered by spokesmen for all sorts
of interests and organizations backing projects calling
for national legislation, all insisting upon the indorse-
ment of their particular proposals. The tendency has
been for years to string out the platform by adding a
plank on this subject and a plank on that subject. with a
view to attracting votes or preventing defections. Condi-
tons seem favorable to eliminating a lot of these minor
declarations, or at least cutting them down to a mere
enumeration. At any rate, the day of fancy rhetoric and
lengthy recitals of long-ago history is past. If the plat
form is intended to command more than mere momentary
notice it must be confined chiefly to the live, ~throbbing
issues that go to the core of current life and that must
be met within the next few years to smooth the way for
national development and insure the future welfare of
the people.

The Way to Become SkilIful.

In his study as an efficiency expert
Frank B. Gilbreth came to the con-
clusion that the best way to learn a
trade was to learn only the funda-
mental motions and to perform these
rapidly, regardless of the fact that for
the first so times or so the work done
might be so far from perfect that the
product might have to be cast aside as
worthless" says Reginald T. Town
send, in the current Worlds Work.
The elimination of unnecessary mo-
lions was far more important than
spending time in learning a process
thoroughly by a slow and elaborate
method for the time of a skilled la
borer is far more valuable than the
material wasted in getting his skill,
and the increased production more
than compensates for such a loss.
Furthermore, the slow and sure
method is actually a wholly different
method from the method OF the exper-
fenced, skilled workman. and in prac-
teal work is laboriously unlearned
and the faster method learned by pain
full practice. Once an efficient stand
ard of motions has been reached so
Gilbreth reasoned, fix that standard
for all time by means of photographs
and take notes on the time consumed
in making these motions, recorded by
means OF a stop watch"

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First.-Almost every operation IN
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
famnatlon, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
icited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
Fourth.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E, Pinkham Medicine
Co. (conhdentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. tits free, will bring you
health and may save your life

fat man eating a potato"
DR.. Graham Lusk of Cornell Medi-
cal college, an authority on food
values, smiled when Mr. Thompson S
epigram was quoted to him, but he
failed TO see the tragedy" mentioned
Potatoes, the doctor observed, are use
full. on account of the salts they con-
tain, in dissolving and eliminating
uric acid from the system, and to cut
them from the menu is an absurd fad.
To strike out all the dishes which in
clude starches and sugars, oils and
fats is, he said, equally absurd; the
value OF these foods is that of fuel ;
they are oxidized in the body and
keep the body warm. and when work
| is accomplished they furnish the en-
ergy with which to perform it,
! The common sense plan in weight
reducing is to cut down on all foods
that contain oils, fats. starches, and
! sugars, but not to eliminate them en-
tirely.-World's Work.
