everywhere to provide for such work
by employing through the entire
spring, summer and fall at least one
garden teacher or director for every
one hundred children between the ages
Of nine and fifteen for whom land can
be found and who can be induced to
spend two OF three hours a day in gar
dening. I also appeal to all principals
and teachers who have any practical
knowledge Of gardening to volunteer
their services freely or for the small
est possible salary for which they can
afford to work. In this way, probably
more effectively than in any other,
can they serve their country just now.
The experience will have value for the
teachers themselves since their will be
permanent demand for directors of
work Of this kind at reasonably good
salaries.
"In most cases it will be found help

ance of a practical gardener who can
give help in the heavier work which

children cannot do.
"In doing this work, neither teacher
nor children need lose time from
school. In the spring and fall. the
work can be done evenings and morn
ings, before and after school hours,
and on Saturdays; more time can be
given in vacation months. For best
results, gardens should be cultivated
throughout the summer and as late in
the fall as anything can be grown in
them. Wherever possible gardens
should be irrigated when weather con-
0itions require 1t,
IF this work is to be done at all this
year, it must be begun at once. The
season is aleady well advanced, espe
cially in the south. The bureau Of edu
cation will assist as it can by general
directions from its division of school
and home gardening, an dthe depart
ment of agriculture will send bulletins
and other helpful printed matter.
IF funds for necessary expenses
cannot be had otherwise, children who
receive instruction, or their parents,
might well pay into a general fund 10
or 20 per cent Of the value Of vegeta-
bles grown. Even If 20 per cent should
be paid this is much less than the
charges made by middlemen for hand
ling green groceries. Local bankers
and others interested might well af-
ford to advance garden associations
the funds needed for immediate ex-
penses."

WAR PROHIBITION MEETS WITH
FAVOR

The proposal for nationwide prohi-
bition during the period OF the war Is
meeting with favor from many influ-
entail men who have not hitherto been
identified with the dry propaganda.
Strictly business and economic
grounds are given as reasons for this
policy. The movement is being pro-
NOTED by the National Committee on
War Prohibition of which Prof. irving
Fisher, of Yale university, one OF the
countrys most distinguished econo'
mists, is president.
Il am firmly convinced" said f. A.
Vanderlip of the National City bank Oh
New York, "that a national prohiDi-
ton measure would be of transcend
ant importance in its effect upon ma
tional spirit, conserving and increasing
our food supply, releasing labor for
other productive channels when the
need is acute. The plants could be
quickly turned to industrial uses for
which the need is so pressing"
Howard Elliott, president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, said, "Favor national prohibition
during the war. Effect on health, eff
cheney, and economy would be very
great"

SONS OF RICH MEN FIGHT

In America as well as in Europe the
sons of wealth are patriotically re-
spending to the call to the colors. A
few days ago from Chicago came the
report that Marshall Field, son of the
late merchant prince, had enlisted in
the Illinois cavalry and similar infor-
nation comes from many other parts
of the country.
Here is special appearing in the
Dallas News:
Bridgeport, Conn, April 2S.-six
young Harvard men, all sons of mil
lionaires, are swabbing decks and
working as ordinary seamen on pa
troll boat of the naval reserve force in
local waters. The young men, who
arrived in this city from New York last
night, are William Christian Heppen-
heimer. Jr., son of General Heppen-
heimer of Jersey City; Jean Jacques
Bertschman. Newcomb Chandler Baer,
Ralph Waldo Marshall and Horace B.
O'Sullivan, all of New York, and Ches-
ter Walker Lockwood, Washington, d.
G. With the exception of Mr.. O'Sulli-
van, who is a graduate, they are all
students at Harvard"
The war in which America is engag-
ed is going to call for stupendous sac
rifices upon the part of everybody.
Rich and poor alike must share in the
burdens which must be borne. Natur-
ally, the heaviest part Of taxation re-
sulting will be paid by the possessors
of large fortunes but the poor and
those Of moderate means must also
feel the pinch. The cost in human
life will come from every class and
liz the selective conscription plan is
adopted, will be fairly distributed.

AS a matter of fact man generally
misplaces his heart few times before
he actually loses it.
Furthermore, almost any man can
give a good argument why the house

Still, it is doubtful whether the

The newspapers of the United
States stand before the country
with clean hands. They have
not been influenced by the gold
of Great Britain or the advertis-
ing contracts of the munitions
makers. Has any one ever seen
an advertisement of a munitions
plant? Great Britain, France
and Russia never bought muni-
tions through advertisements.

tinental string of newspapers.
Most Of the newspapers are
owned in the families of their
founders, whose successors take
pride in maintaining their Ameri-
can traditions and policies. No
newspaper cf national circulation
and influence has changed it's
policies one iota since the war
broke out.
The fact is that the newspapers
sized up the situation accurately
at the beginning of the war in
1914, and, aside from the New
York Mail, which changed sud-
denly to pro-German, not one of
them has veered from it's origi-
nal policy.
Now, as to the Associated
Press. 1t is a great cooperative
newsgathering agency, which is
absolutely controlled and direct
ed by it's members, the represen-
tative daily newspapers of the
country. 1t is non-partisan, i'm
partial, unbiased. 1t has to be.
1t could not exist on any other
basis. There is not capital
enough in Germany or England
to control the Associated Press"
The newspapers of the United
States knew from the beginning
that the war was made in Ger
many" They soon learned that
Germany was conducting the
war with a cruelty such as never
disgraced the name of Weyler in
Cuba. They published the facts
and made comments regarding
those facts. They insisted that
the government of the United
States should protect the SOW
ereignty of the nation against
attacks by Germany in violation
of international law.
What the newspapers predict
ed would occur has occurred. We
have war, and we are totally un-
prepared for the conflict that is

American Newspapers Have
Maintained a United Purpose

Gan Editorial from Albuquerque
Morning Journal, commenting on
the Dilly-dallying Congress-
At last congress has acted.
Valuable time has been lost and
the moral effect of the jangles
has been bad on the opinion of
the world. Of the spectacle
congress has made of itself,
there has been much criticism in
the newspapers from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, and congress-
men have replied with the old
canard that the newspapers have
been subsidized by the munitions
makers and Wall street. Some
of the pro-Germans in congress
say the newspapers and the
Associated Press are in the pay
OF the allies.
The most convincing evidence
that there is not the slightest
basis for these oft-repeated lies
of the German propaganda is the
fact that there has been scarcely
a change of ownership of any
newspaper since the war broke
out. The one prominent excep-
tiOn is the New York Mail,
whose sudden turn to pro-Ger-
manism aroused strong suspicious
that German money had figured
in it's sale.
The great American news
papers are in exactly the same
ownership now that they have
been for years. The Pulitzers
still own the New York World
and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

property of the Medills and Nc

q Sen. Morris Sheppard of Texas
has introduced bill to provide
Hebrew chapIains for the army IN
order to accommodate the Jews who
may enlist. We suggest that Mr..
Sheppard get down to business and
not be partial to any one particular
religious sect. While at it do the
thing right. Let the Methodists have
a Methodist chaplain, the Baptists
Baptist chaplain, and so on for all
the different church bodies. The Jews
have as much right for Jew chap
lain as any Of the many other various
believers, and the Jews are broad
minded enough not to object to hav-
ing their chaplains on the same camp
grounds with any kind of praying
soldiers. This is a big war and may
last several years. Mr.. Sheppard
should see to it that his bill be made
to cover the whole list of denomina-
tional creeds. The more chaplains
the bigger the graft, and Mr.. Shep-
pard is an avowed candidate to sue
ceed himself as the junior senator
from Texas.
.q Presbyterians in their 10th Gen
eral Assembly at Dallas, Texas, went
on record against all Sabbath Day
sports in civic life, and in the Army
and Navy, an all unnecessary Sun
day excursions, and emphatically
condemned the Sunday editions Of
newspapers. And, it is to remark,
that while Sunday is a day of rest,
yet we can't see why we should live
more unreasonable on Sundays than
week days. Little by little we are
gradually drifting back to those
"good old Puritan days" Some hob
by-rider legislator will grasp the
opportunity and by passing a law we
will commit a crime by kissing our
wife on Sunday, or that when the
healthy sportive small boy whistles
the tune of ''DiXie," he will be repri-
manded. Maybe soon we will be re-
quired tostroll among the headstones
of departed loved ones on Sundays
and with breathless silence refuse to
be natural or sensible just because
the day has been legislated out of
joint with the rest Of the days. Our
notion is that if the beauty and pnri-
ty of the Christian religion can't be
preached in way to be more attrac-
tive than Sunday newspapers the
brethren should resign their jobs and
go into some other business.

.q Speaking of his turn-down, Col.
Roosevelt said: "Had the admins
tration deemed it wise to grant my
request about raising a division at
the time | made it, we would have
been ready to sail for France this
morning" That is exactly like Roose-
velt. He is a thorobred American.
He knew that it would not require
him an eternity of time to raise an
army. He knew that Americans are
just as quick for action as are Cana
dians. Within three weeks after the
outbreak Of the European war $4,000
Canadians were ready to sail for the
front. Yet there are those who say
that it will take three years to raise
an army of Americans. It matters
who our leader is-it is all in the
leader.
q When the great European war
broke out, in order to conserve the
grain for food, Serbia declared prohi-
bition. Now that country is wrestl-
ing with the evil of "moonshining."
This is peculiar old world and, after
all, very much alike the world over.
In our own country, before the Civil
war, any farmer who wanted or cared
to had his still "below the peach
orchard" and when peaches got ripe
would make up enough ''fire water"
to run him during the winter. After
the war, the government prohibited
this kind of industry and right away
''moonshining" began. What was
legitimate business before the war
beceme a crime after the war, and
so on.
q Roosevelt is not to lead his army
to France. We could see that drift
some days ago. He made too many
speeches in the presidential campaign
and is therefore physically incapaci-
tated- the rigorous examination must
be met to the letter. Then, too, his
fine vigor and enthusiasm has serv-
ed it's purpose and the President en-
ployed his usual fine spun rhetoric in
handing Mr.. Roosevelt the compli-
ments of the season.
q Now that a few of the food stuffs
gamblers have been hung by senator
ial oratory we will have time to pull
the weeds out of that back yard gar
den of ours.
