When the hiss of the air releasing

speech until October 5, has been post

Let us syoid, let us repress the spirit

Indignant at the war the enemy pow

victory will warn the world that such

will be punished. But is 1t wise to
talk of banning a whole people Tor

there are those who wish to protest

Our main purpose will have failed if

More Work for the Same Pay.

United States will stand as the only

labor without increasing the pay.
Surely there is no such stress of
fuance as to call for this spectacle of
parsimony The federal revenues, while
somewhat straitened in consequence
in part of the war in Europe, are not
under such a strain as to justify an I'M
heralded departure from the established
rule. No department chief .,as asked

have not been investigated. No expert
opinion has been sought as to the eff
fcctivcness of the addition of an hour
to the working day in the net result of
efficient performance of duty.
y fully fifty years the United States
has adhered to pay scale for the gov

Stat"s now believes that its public serv-

eight hour standard that prevails in the
labor world there should at least be
some compensatory change in the scale
of pay. But this pending amendment is
offered with the sole defense that it
will save the government between
s5.0ooooo and 100000 a year, in in
creased work and presumably dimin-
ished forces.
Every consideration of fairness pro-
tests against the proposal. Especially
