CUT OUT ALL NEW PROJECTS,

While We are called upon to save
time has arrived for us to save capital
as well. The sensational decline of all
stocks and bonds on the stock ex-
change and the rapid rise in interest
rates teaches us that. The secretary
| of the treasury and OF war have ap-
pealed to the nations business men to
| forego all new enterprises that will call
| for capital. Present business should
| be maintained but new projects should
not be financed because they will eat
| up capital which the government needs.
This means low pressure on all pub
lie works that require borrowing and
that borrowing has just as bad an
effect upon the supply Of money if the
contractor has to borrow against
assessment certificates as II does when
a county or city sells its bonds. Pub
lie works should be Of urgent necessity
to Justify their tax upon available
funds at this time
New factories and new ventures
which require large loans should be
deferred, not that there is danger for
the future OF this country for the
United States is going to win this war.
1t can't afford to lose but nobody
knows how long the war will last or
how terrible the cost IS 10 be hence It
IS high time now to conserve on capital
as well as on food.
New buildings have already declined,

CLASSIFYING MEN FOR THE DRAFT.

The new plan for drafting men for
the next call is to go into effect on
Dec 10 and Is designed 10 accomplish
two purposes. The first Is 10 determine
in advance the men who can righ,tully
claim exemption under the rules which
were applied TO the first draft and
then set them back into a res=rye liz.
Secondly, those who are not entitled 70
exemptions are then 70 De classified
according to their trades, education eL1
training so as 70 be assigned when
called to the departments Which s1ey
are best fitted to serve.
When the questions which zrs 20 u
sent out to every enlisted MAJ hare
been answered, cataloged and i.dsxEd
the army officers will be prepared ~
designate the branch Of serTLce ~
which a man should De assigned the
moment he is called Men with special
training and fitness will know tina,
they will be given some preference
OFSI SOIIALI!O4 dDOl III VIC d. ny Del
vice They will be given opportunity
to use their talents for the highest et-
fciency.
Among those who are now claiming
| exemption there is to be Classification
too, for it may come TO pass as it has
in every other nation in the war that
those who we're exempted on the first
call will have to be taken later. Even
those exempted by the doctors for
minor defects may be called and ac-
copied later when the need for men
presses US to the limit. And those
who have wives and children are to
be classified according to degrees Of
| dependency. The man whose wife and
| children would be reduced to want
| when he left will be considered as
| more entitled to exemption than the
| mar who has property enough to keep
| them and the man who is not engaged
now In some gainfu pursuit will be
| considered as more free to go than the
man whose business would fall when
| he marched away.
The original purpose Of the selectiye
draft is to be accomplished now that
the winter gives time for the job to be
done scientifically, but there Is not to
be wholesale exemption ON account Of
occupation. Farmers need not think
that the man in town must do all the
/ dying for the defense OF this country
just because the average farm worker
Is always needed in the fields nor
need q mechanic think that he Is
needed at home more than an office
man. England tried that at first and
finally found that most of the machines
in factories could be operated by
women and that there were millions o.
cid men and boys who could go into
the fields when necessity demands.

able bodied men between the ages of

the Republican concludes.
No one will say that the Republican.
Ut least, does not speak Its mind
freely. The Journal, however. be-
lieves that 1t is too severe on It's bretn-
Is overdrawn. 1t Is not the purpose
| OF The Journa, to undertake the de-
| tense of its Iowa contemporaries. They
are abundantly able to attend to that
matter themselves. In the matter of
the prohibitory amendment, however,
1t does not believe that a general
charge Of Hypocrisy can be made TO
stick. AS The Journal understands IT.,
the general run of newspapers today
do not arrogate to themselves leader
ship Of public opinion; they do not
assume that they are the makers of
public opinion. The newspaper today
rather seeks to keep abreast of. to be
an interpreter OF, public opinion.
Thelc may have been a time when the
people permitted the newspapers to
do .heir thinking for them but today
the people are very Largely dong their
ovn thinking; they are forming their
own conclusions, from the facts which
ar. at hand, surp' Ell by the news
papers l: is tho business of the news
papers 10 aaceI .ain and ~ know what
the people are thinking, to inform
themselves as to the current of public
opinion, and, in their best judgment
TO keep in line with it, to conform to
it. In pursuance of this policy, they
are not properly open to the charge
CT hypocrisy, or moral cowardice, any
more than the president of the United
States, who seeks to be guided and
supportd by public opinion, is so
chars cable.
1t frequently happens that the
newspapers, for one reason or another,
do not correctly gauge public opinion,
do not accurately interpret the trend
of the public thought. Elections often
SO contrary to the notions of news
papers, as the election on the pro-
hibitory amendment Is a recent no.
table example. But that is not to their
discredlt. ard it is no reason for sus-
pecting them of dishonesty or moral
cowardic2. They may err in judg-
nient bit nothing worse than that. as
a general rule, is charg eable to them.
1t must be remembered, too, that they
always i.avc plenty of respectable
company in error. for none OF our
elections are anywhere near unani-
nous. The vote on the prohibitory
amendment. it will be recalled, was
about fifty Atty.
The Journal believes that the Cedar
Rapids brother has been unwarrant-
ably severe in his indictment Of the
Iowa press. The Journal has been
reading tho Iowa newspapers for q
long time, and II has great respect
for them. They are. with few excep-
tons, outspoken, courageous. indie
pendent and, the Journal believes.
honest. They speak their minds freely
on all occasions
AS to speaking the whole truth all
the time-well, now, does the Repub-
lican DO that?
