The LITTLE BATTLE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
IN ALSACE, Jan. 20. tBy main-

that is what this position of Harris

they have down in Breathit county.
Kentucky. For French officers viii

that this position on the Western
battle front has no more and no less
importance than scores of other
points elsewhere between the sea and
Switzerland.

German communiques mention scrap

imagine that the side holding this
crest held the key TO Paris or TO

the feud going on, each side deter
mined to have the honor of holding
the top Of the mountain. 1t is like
the struggle about flag matter
of pride in taking and holding.
The quarrel began exactly year
ago. A small detachment Of French
.Cbasseurs established an advance
post on the summit of Hartsmanns-
willerkopf. They were surprised by
a large force. surrounded and beaten.
This was on January Is, 1915.
Fortifying the position strongly as
an observation point. the Germans
held the crest until March 2s. when
the French stormed the hill, took
the trenches at the top, captured 10

ployed in the city of New York.
There was not city in this land,
where the jobless man anxious and
able to work did not walk the street.
They were fed by our charitable or
CARNATIONS, which were taxed to the
utmost limit to provide for those for
whom American enterprise could no
longer make provision. 1t was sal
spectacle. Americans have not for
fotten it. 1t is not forgotten here or
anywhere. 1t cannot be forgotten. 1t
is too recent.
II you are going to have the basis
for prosperity in this country; If you
are going to protect the American
wage scale; If you are going to have
American enterprise able to meet the
competition which will follow the
ending of this war, you must have
an honestly devised, wisely framed
tariff law to protect American indus
try.
No, the Democratic party will not
be saved by the European war. II
you would know what our condition
will be when that war ends, think or
what our condition was before that
war began, IL you think these ma
lions are SO impoverished that they
cannot again turn to work. Those
millions of men now fighting are bet
ter able to work than ever before In
their lives. Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, bettor
physically than ever before in the
main. and they are ready to turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits OF peace to pay. their war
bills. to produce UP to the limit, to
send their goods throughout the
world.

lieve in, and secure intelligently and

THE SERVICE or
POLITICAL COMMITTEES.

The man who criticises the corrup
ton Of our times the most freely is
rarely the same one who is ever will
ing to serve on a political committee.
1t is much easier to sit on your front
porch and find fault with graft and in.
efficiency. If he served on. commit.
tee he might have to strain his patrio.
tism by attending a few meetings.
Yet the work of political committees
has to go on. Plans of campaign
have TO be mapped out. Rallies have
to be held and advertising written and
paid for. The voters have to be can
vassed to get out a full poll. They
have to be checked off as they vote,
that the laggards may be rounded up.
There are many abuses in the work
of political committees.
Few men are willing to serve On
them from pure zeal for community
good. Usually they are looking tor
appointments or nominations. In re-
turn for work done, they expect fav-
ors from those who gain the offices.
This frequently involves the appoint
ment OF unfit men.
Yet the political committee per.
forms its indispensable service. 1t at
least knows that 1t must make the
party program attractive to voters. 1t
must see that candidates of a certain
standard of decency go on the lists to
be balloted for. Otherwise the party
will be beaten every time. If there
were no political committees, nomin-
ations would be made haphazard. It
would be as well.to snap up a cent to
see who should go on the ticket.
Better politics can not be secured
without good work being done. Re.
form is never accomplished by sitting
Mt ones fireside and finding fault
Where Improvement is made, 1t is be-
cause some one has gone to work
People who want better government
should be willing to serve on political
and campaign committees. Only by
giving Of their own time and interest
can they command any support for
their ideas.

THE PEOPLE
CONTROL.

Before the railroad employees or the
railroad corporations take any arbit-
rsry action in the pending oontroyer-
sizes they should do a little serious
thinking. They should reflect that the
position of each OF them is very vul-
nerable.
The average man is getting eXasper-
ated to the limit of endurance by the
interference with general prosperity
caused by labor Quarrels. He has no
clear idea as to which party is right
in these controversies. He is not par
ticularly a partisan Of capital nor
yet of labor. He merely wants to see
some reasonable method of adjusting
these disputes.
Labor wars as now conducted are
mere anarchy. In order to do dol
lars worth Of damage to the other
side, ten dollars worth of suffering Is
inflicted on the general public.
AS soon as the public gets an idea
that one side is unreasonable and ar.
bitrary, that side usually loses its
case. 1t can better afford to give up
every point at issue rather than in
cur the public hostility thus created.
In the case Of the anthracite coal
strike OF 1908, 1t proved difficult for
the public to enforce it's will. In this
case the act of mining coal could not
be called interstate commerce. 1t
was thus outside the scope OF govern
ment regulation. The threatened rail-
road strike Is wholly different, as the
warning parties are likely to find out.
This industry is specifically placed
under the regulation of the federal
government by the United States con
stitution.
Each party Of this dispute should
therefore have care. The people
OF the United States are greater than
any labor union, and they are greater
than any corporation. If convinced
that either side Is unreasonable, in
tolerant and arbitrary. they will hit
back, and they will hit very hard.
Any party to this dispute that is un-
willing to submit its case to a fair
arbitration is playing with very dan
gerous explosives.

II this is the case. 1t will then be
more than ever necessary to make

A certain type OF men will always
be attracted into the army no matter
