THE HERALD AND THE WAR

Practically every institution which employees any
considerable number of men has its ranks Invaded by
the demands of the war. In many cases the calls have
been distributed over a considerable time, SO that unless
one stops TO check up the full effect of the drain is not
realized. In these respects The Herald is no exception.
One by one men have dropped out from Its force to take
service in the armed forces Of their country. Others are
still to go. And when all who have gone who can this
one institution will have sent to the front enough men

Since the enrolment began the following employees
Of The Herald have taken places in the military forces,
or have arranged to do SO

The first three named above were members Of The

IN his old position since his return, and, his term Of serv-

whatever conditions they have lived, are responding to
the same call and performing the same duty. They are

INSTRUCTORS RESPONSIBLE

A food control bill, In character substantially like the
bill which has just became a lag, was before congress
in ample time for full discussion and passage before
July /. It was the hope Of the administration that II
should be passed by that date, for the conditions sur
rounding the production and distribution Of q great
many food articles have been such az to make some sort
OF government regulation imperative. Producers of the
main staples have, as a rule. been getting very satis-
factory prices, but the nervousness WHICH has character
iSed all markets was used by rapaciois and speculative
men mere and there to create an unwarranted spread
between the price received by the producer and that
paid by the consumer. THE conditions we're abnormal.
and there were men who took advantage OF them.
The food control bill was mot passed July 1. Il waS
not passed by August /. It was not passed until rsar
the middle Of August, and in the six weeks Of unneces-
sary delay no man knows how much money has been
flched from the American people. For this delay and
are responsible who made lengthy and meaningless
speeches.. who introduced improper amendments. and
who in various other ways prevented prompt considera-
ton OF the food control bill on Its merits.
There was the prohibition question. A prohibition de-
bate has absolutely no place in the consideration of a.
food control bill. Yet with a number Of men prohibi-
ton and not food control, was the ali-important thing.
Then there was the effort to attach to the bill a revision
for a committee on war expenditures. something which,
II considered at all, ought to have been considered sep
arately and decided on its own merits. Then tor some
reason that is not apparent on the surface a little group
6f men undertook to make war on Hoover, and more
time was wasted. The attacks on Mr.. Hoover were OF
such a character that any fair-minded man, having no
previous knowledge Of the subject would necessarily have
concluded from them that Mr.. Hoover was being mali
ciously and fundamentally attacked. The conclusion
would be that the man against whom Reed, of Missouri,
for instance. belched forth his trades, must be q pretty
coed man to tie to.
Men ofEthis type have delayed the food bl1 for SIX
weeks. Their course has cost thespeople Of the country
something in money, and it has affected injuriously the
interests Of our own nation and those Of q dozen others
with whom we are allied. Perhaps the obstructionists
admire and are satisfied with their work. That feeling is
not shared. by the general public Of the United States.

MAY HE LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

In theSpress OF matter relating I'd WAT food. Legislation,
draft, and soton, the fact that q former president ofs the
lUnfted StatesFhas been dangerously neal. death has not
receavsdsthee attention which swonld otherwise have bsen
given it.rT But, 81. a little town In Kansas. former Prssi-
dent Taft has been struggling for his life, with the
chances about sven, ~ It appeared for d time, that he
would not recover.
In the time that has elapsed since the expiration Of his
term as president, Mr.. Taft has acquitted himself In a
manner which has won for him the respect and adn1ifaA
ton of many who failed to appreciate his good qualities
while he was in office. The position which he occupies
is one which makes peculiar demands on a man, and in
this case the demands have been met with dignity, cheer
fulness and earnestness in the desire to serve the cause
of the nation. /.
At no stage III his carer has Mr.. Taft nerited greater
respect than BY his attitude toward his successor IN the
events relating to the war. He is an American from the
ground UP, and while he has been q partisan in politics,
he has moi for q moment permitted his paftisanship to
stand in the way Of the full expression OF his patriotism.
Not for an instant has he stopped to ths petty pickering
that has tdarted The efforts Of smaller ana rneaner men
to make Political capital out Of the nations needs. He
has set aside everything that might prove an obstacle to
his support OF the government iii ev6ry way iii which his
support could be ssrviceab1e. He Is to be IGNORED for his
course, and It is to be hoped that he will speedily be re-
stored to health and strength.
ri Occasionally there are expressions Of some anxiety as
to what to DO without ex-presidents. But the behavior OF
these men indicates that, as a. rule, they are quite cap-
able OF taking care Of themselves, and there appears to
be no special need for solicitude on that score. CleveA
land, Harrison, Roosevelt, TAFT all have acquitted Them
selves as men, and after their terms Of of1ce, retired into
the ranks Of citizenship, where each played his part ac-
cordins TO his taste, ana nons of them has seemed to be
In any need Of assistance.
