One of the victories of the United States in this
war concerns the triumph of American manufac-
turers in the matter of dyestus 1t is not complete
yet and it must be properly guarded at the close
of the war but all that is needed is continued enter
prise and wise craftsmanship. The manufacturers
have been holding an exhibition in New York. and
some of the things shown there illustrate the won.
derful ingenuity of the American workman and the
American manufacturer. Fl. Gardner McKerrow
who has closely studied this phase of activity calls
attention to the fact that when the war began there
were five concerns in this country engaged in the
manufacture of aniline dyestuffs and a mere hand
full of makers of the crudes and intermediates What
is the condition today? Ninety manufacturers of
crudes and Intermediates and so manufacturers of
artificial dyestuffs. Inquirer

There was little diminution of the

men, wine agents and INDECENT wait

and the Board of Trade so late these
days that they may move back the
dining hour to conflict with the ma
tutinal meal, there was the usual din,
racket, jollity and today there will
be the same old number of aching
heads, regretful hearts and depleted
bill books.

Army and Navy News
Best Service Column is CITY.

Army officers are interested in tho
recent assertion OF Frederick L. Huide-
koper, founder % the Army League Of
the United States. In an address In Gin

Science Association. that almost with
out exception historians and writer's of
American school books have suppressed.
with studied care. the disasters which
we SO often have suffered. and the blund-
ers we have committed. owing to total
absence Of a proper military policy"
Mr.. Huidekoper, who was addressing
/ the conference on naval and military ad-
ministration in the United States. held
under auspices of the Science Associa-
] tion. prefaced his remarks by saying:
The United States never had a mill
, tary policy or anything approaching one
unless an unlimited capacity for blum
dering In military matters may be call
ed policy" he said.
The arguments Of the ''pussyfists." as
he termed the pacihsts, that compulsory
military training is contrary to Amer
lean ideals were arraigned by the speak
er as without a vestige Of truth"
THE voluntary system" he said. lis
the most plutocratic of all systems. His
tory, including our own. shows that II
invariably breaks down under the stress
| of war"
| Mr. Huidekoper concluded his remarks
| with statement of what he considered
the needs OF the army and navy, featur-
Ing his remarks with a plea for compul-
| sorry universal service for the youth OF
the country whose ages range between
| 10 and q years.
Robert W. Neeser, secretary Of the
! Naval History Society Of New York, who
followed Mr. Huidekoper. said that one
of the great weaknesses Of the United
States Navy lies in the absence Of per-
manent tenure for its head.
THE spirit of our government requires

But in this lies the weakness of our
system. How can a civilian, lacking ex-
pert knowledge, direct the varied opera
tions of the naval service?"

tion TO the initial payment, which was

| Capt. Smith states that the District is
| receiving more money and has more
cases for the department to handle, pro-
portionately, than any State. He says
this is due principally to the fact that the
District has such a large percentage OF
colored Guardsmen, nearly all OF whom
have families in extremely needy circum'
stances.
The amount OF money appropriated fol
relief amounts to between $4,000 and sO,'
| 900 daily. About 800 new cases are consid'
cred every day.
With the 81 $50, 900 recently appropriated
by Congress in addition to the original
81, 100000, Capt. Smith believes the work
of relief for the Guardsmen's families car
be carried on satisfactorily.

HONEYMOON AFTER so YEARS.

Altoona, Pa, Jan. 1.-Mr. and Mrs.
James Brown, of Altoona. have finally
found time to take a wedding trip, not
withstanding the fact that 1t has been
more than fifty years since they were
married.
They visited friends in Lewiston, and
the occasion was made memorable by a
dinner in their honor. When they were
married in 1856 they were too busy es-
tablishing a home to go away. Mr..
Brown is a retired Pennsylvania Rail-
road shopman, having served the COM
pany forty-seven years. While he and
his wife have had an annual pass for
several years, they have never used II
until the delayed wedding trip. They
have lived in the same house for half a
century.

Newspapers.

Newspapers are servants of the
public and like most servants, are
maligned and abused. But there are
times when some student of the press
forgets for a time that they are just
disseminators of news and mediums
of advertising and remembers that
there is some credit due them as an
essential of civilization, and a true
reflector of public opinion.
George Mathew Adams writing in
the Advertising News pays the fol-
lowing tribute to the newspaper OF
today:
II cannot help but think of the
printed pages of the newspapers OF
this age and time as the Watchmen
Of the Future-guardians of Democ-
racy.
"Day m and day out-and all the
night through, their Brains ahre, their
Hearts over-throbbing, their Bodies
ofttimes whipped to tasks most diff
fcuit, and seemingly impossible; mis-
understood, libeled, abused-yet al
ways going ahead, keeping step.
"1n fact, most always a step or two
ahead of the Thinking of their time.
"Only those who carry their Wis
ion in their Heart instead of their
Head can really appreciate the mar
velous forwardness of the Press.
And l think in terms of The En-
tire when I say that the Newspa-
pers have not only kept the Pace,
but the Faith.
Great, however, as has been their
Power and Influence, Newspapers can
hardly ever hope to be greater than
the people who read and support
them.
ALSO Newspapers have never been
in Expression very far ahead of the
countless humans who have made
them to live
"But they have never failed their
Clients, except in instances.
They have always breathed the
Spirit of their time and helped to
pass it on. So that one may now
say that the history of a Period is
the record of its newspapers.
proud Carriers of the Flag, they
thrill as they beat the Drum and
blow the Battle Bugle.
For they are nothing if not Mill
tant.
"But most of all l like to think of
the Newspaper as a great impersonal
Human. Hating Shams and the
Shammers, fighting Crooks and the
Crooked, and helping and inspiring
on to decency and power every
worthy element and cause. Lifting up
the weak and putting strength into
their legs and backs. sympathizing
with the poor, and slipping, without
noise or fuss, real Hope and Aspira-
ton into their hearts and lives"
The Washington herald., 1917-01-02
The Short Session.

SohSreSs is Dack again and racing
such grave problems of such magni-
tude that already the cry that there
may have to be called an extraor-
dinary session Immediately after the
Constitutional adjournment on March
a is being raised.
First of all there is a growing
deficit of nearly 100000, 900. The
Democratic party is in for a deficit
on this fiscal year and huger one for
the next. Perhaps some day Con-
gress will consent to and devise a
plan for budget system which will
be charged simultaneously with the
duty of expending the peoples taxes
and of providing the ways and means
of producing the revenue.
1t is not considered that the Demo-
cratic House faces the political dam
nation of big bond issue with
equanimity. Neither is it possible
that it will levy any export taxation
on any articles of pecuniary interest
to the voters in the districts at home.
The one tax on which the Demo-
Gratis unite is imposed on wealth. Al
ready wealth is heavily taxed and
the graduated income tax is hitting
that unfortunate middle man in the
cities who seldom has a voice in Con-
gressional designs.
Taxes on food are distasteful and
nopportune. Already the poor pay
enough for their coffee, their cloth
ing, their sugar and their table
necessities.
Some suggest a tax on automobile
tires as a revenue producer. Lots
of Democrats own automobiles now,
but a tax on the theory of the old
wheel tax might raise some revenue.
War profits could stand some
taxation if there is legal way to
direct taxation which has always been
held abhorrent to the American Con-
stitution.
Both political parties face a prob
lem in the need for money and what
the enormous appropriation bills; the
corrupt practice bill; the constitu-
tional amendments on prohibition
and suffrage and half dozen other
questions vital to every American
in the land, there is an earnest hope
of some team work by the leaders.
Less of partisan hsggling. More CO.
operation in the hope of wise
progress.
That the country is tired of Con-
gress is frequently heard. The coun-
try will not be tired of a good Con-
gress that is endeavoring in a dill
gent and patriotic effort to settle
some great questions to help the
United States from serious economic
and social difficulties after the Eu-
ropcan madness

EVEN TOOK HIS CHICKENS,

New York, Jan. 1.-Carrying a chicken
under each arm, and with ST remaining
from his weeks wages In his pockets
Paul Gammal, a laborer, was hurrying
to his home when he was set upon by
five men, who took all his money and
both chickens.
While Gammal was reporting at the
West Twentieth street station, Mrs,
Mamie Haffens, entered in great excite
ment and reported that when she was out
to 4 store her apartment had been en-
tered and ransacked. The baby had been
dumped out of the crib and the mattresses
of the crib searched, she said.

The freshest flowers
Blow when the sun Is shining.
Thou shalt not grope,

Imperfect statistics gathered about the
loss of life in the arena of war in Europe
show that the tragedy has been a brutal,
a savage, a cruel one. The loss of life
will probably far exceed the estimates so
far made. The significant feature is that
1t Is the youth of the Old World which
has suffered most in this brutal conflict.
This is true with every war. Our own
civil war left its tragic history of mur-
dered youth. Boys entered the ranks of
the Blue and the Gray, mere beardless
lads, who. with the enthusiasm of their
young years, with that splendid display
of patriotism which made the fratricidal
struggle one of the great events of his
tory, gave up their lives and left the
soil drenched with their hot, young
blood.
II is the youth of any land that must
pay. 1t is the youth that governments
exact as their toll for greed and aggres-
siveness.-Memphis Appeal.
