The husband and father was too
lazy to work; too shiftless to even
look for work with any intention of
securing employment. When he, once
in while made pretense of seeking
a job, he would leave the house, buy
dime novel and wife took in wash
ing to support him; his daughter
worked in a cheap store, half:slave,
long hours, for a pittance, to add
more to the meagre sum that should
sustain life in their small family-and
provide the lazy father with money

she simply must have shoes, for the

A NEW PHASE,

It has taken the Allies two years
to prepare for the offensive move
ment along the Somme. The war is
now in it's twenty-fourtn month and
has one more year to run to fulfill
the minimum duration re, by the late
Lord Kitchener.
The intensity of the movement in
dicates the beginning of a new phase
in the war. 1t is too early to specu-
late upon the outcome. germany and
her allies may counter with an often
sive of similar magnitude upon one
of the many war fronts. Not enough
ground has been gained yet to give
the Somme maneuvers a decisive sig
nificance. Past events surely have
taught us not to expect much.
Major Moraht, the German military
expert, makes this significant state
ment:
"The English are going ahead very
systematically and very cautiously,
accommodating at many points by tao
tically unimportant thrusts and let
ting their artillery work at long range,
having undoubtedly great masses of
ammunition available.
"Our English enemies are not max.
ing the mistake of losing their heads
and rejoicing, like the Italians, seeing
great things in little successes. The
English have actually become very
sober; they avoid BOOSTING and are
not calculating on qufcz repetition
of the Russian and italian successes.
Because Of this very sobriety Of judy
ment we again and again recognize
the English determination to hold on
until victory, regardless Of the length

cant that the republican and demo,
cratic presidential candidates have
selected their managers with view
to capturing the bull moose and suf-
frag vote!
President Wilson has chosen Vance
Mccormick of Harrisburg, Pa, and
Charles E. Hughes picked William R.
Wilcox of New York.
The democratic manager is likely
to prove more satisfactory to the pro-
gressives than the republican man
after. Wilcox might be described as
neutral, while Mccormick was at vari-
Gus times actively engaged in the pro-
gressive campaigns in Pennsylvania
In the choice of Wilson, Hughes
has tried to please COL Roosevelt,
while not giving offense to w. Murray
Crane, Jim Hemmenway, Boies Pen
rose and other able seamen who put
over his nomination.
Wilcox has kept aloof from politics
since 1910 and therefore has not TAX
en- sides with the progressives or the
reactionary wing of the party.
In 1905 Col. Roosevelt appointed
him postmaster of New York City,

pointed him chairman of the public

THAT MINOT<.PAclFIST.

Anonymous letters usually are con.
signed to the waste basket without
comment, but the edior yesterday re-
ceived a communication from Minot
pacifist, who appropriately signs him
self "A. Chink," that calls for no
tice. The Chinese form the great
est peace parry in the world. Their
very numbers have stood as barrier
against conquest for centuries. The
invaders Of the Celestial domain
have been worn out by attrition and
swallowed up by the Monaghan
hordes.
The Minot Chink does not belong to
the Yellow race. His letter hardly
bears the earmarks of the intelli-
gence shown by the average Malay
He openly charges:
"You are in favor Of sending Bis
marck's young men down to Mexico
to be shot to death or Gle from ex-
posure and disease, while you sit and
draw pay from the munition manu-
facturers."
The Tribune has never advocated
war with Mexico It is for Prepared
ness as a precautionary measure
against War.
We cannot agree with our anony-
NOUS contributor that the agitation
for better national defense is pre-
paredness punk
"You dare not come out in an edi-
torial and truthfully deny that you
receive pay from preparedness pro-
moters," he writes.
The Tribune accepts this challenge
cheerfully. No money is being spent
to substitute the press of the nation
in this campaign for better prepared
ness.
If A. Chink will go over the files
of the large papers, he will find that
one of his leaders,. Henry Ford, has
spent more money on Peace than any
propaganda. ever contributed toward
Preparedness. c-.- ->.
Surely the Preparedness advocates
have, the same right to purchase space
in the large papers. as the Pacifsts.
Mr.. A. Chink is particularly dis
pleased because advertising matter is
accepted from the Bethlehem Steel
company. He asserts IL rs a Prepar-
edness subsidy. The advertising col
umns of paper are open to all le
Ultimate business. Bethlehem Steel
is in the midst of a publicity cam
paign to inform the people of the fol-
ly, from their standpoint, of gov
eminent owned armor pant.
There is nothing sinister about it.
The railroads are conducting the
same kind of campaign in order to
inform the nation of their position on
the pending strike.
Probably A. Chink is business
man. He sells his commodities in or
der to create an income. The chief
commodity a newspaper has is it's ad-
vertising space. Because it accepts
advertising from large corporations,
is no reason that the patrons con-
troll the policy. A. Chlnx IS probably
as enthusiastic PacitYst as the Trib-
une is eager for Preparedness.
Surely persons can differ, newspa-
pers and their readers can disagree
without having their motives lmpugn-
ed.
A. Chink is either suffering from in
digestion or the lack or s,eep, or prob
ably it is only the weather, or all of
them.
