Make Labor
Fashionable

One prominent American cd
itor sounded a vital note when
he suggested that our people
should make economy fashion,
able, That was wise sug-
gestion and ono that should be-
needed by orr professional high
livers.
Blu, to it We wish to add this
advise: Make labor fashion
able!
Put the two virtues side by
side in double harness all over
this country during the days
that ara coming, and the Uuit.
ed States will easily come into
her own.
Seek to disguise it as we
may, our country, when thi,
war began, was fast drifting To
ward n loafers' paradise
Thousands of our young mer
have been reared in idleness
with not the fnintest concup
on of the true dignity of man

unl labor. Starting with sons
of wealthy parents, it extended
downward in the scale of So
ciety, as class after class at
tempted to initiate those finan
cially above them, until not on
ly was there among all classes
n physical aversion to honest
toll, but the very idea seemed
to carry with it n sense of in
ferioriiy and degradation.
Aside from the dcplorable
causes producing it, the present
national campaign of produc,
ton is the salvation of our
country IN more ways than
just that of providing food for
the world. 1t will make useful
citizens of boys who were fast
becoming degenerates from the
need of serious object IN life.
1t will give vital force To the
academic teaching of the honor
and dignity OF labor. 1t will
toughcn muscles long unaccus-
toned To cxcrtion, and will
transform weaklings into that
which the Almighty intended
they should be-mcn. Vital,
forceful, red blooded men.
No great forward stride of
any people is ever accomplish
cd without great sacrifice.
When our revolutionary faith
ers conceived the vision of n
great nation that should ex-
cmplify To the world tho bless
ings of peace and liberty, they
made great sacrifices, and made
them willingly. Until the en-
trance into this war their de
scendants were i'll no danger Of
losing sight of that grand vision
through the curse of too great
plenty and comforts.
But we are awake ut last.
True, it took n worldwide
calamity to arouse us; hut once
aroused, we are going to take Il
different view of man and his
mission.
When we come into our own
which we will do when we
have won the conflict before us
we will discover that the true
glory of man lies in effort and
achievement for their own
sakes, rather than in the enjoy
ment of their fruits.

ductive energy is being turned
into the creation of implements
of destruction. Many of our
products are now being devoted
to purposes of war. Destruction
instead of construction is the
object of great portion of the
country's energy.
AS much of the human energy
and productive capacity of the
Nation are now being devoted
to the purposes of war, SO should
the proper amount of money of
the United States DC SO devoted.
He who offers his life for his
country is Offering the greatest
possible sacrifice, but the
American mon and women who
support the Government with
their money are doing their
part.
This war is going to be fl
nanced largely out of the saw
ings of the American people
during the war, 1t is not too
great sacrifice 10 make for
ones country i'll time of war to
deny ones self iuxuries, to cut
down unnecessary expenses, 10
lead quictur and buster lives.
Not only will the money thus
saved aud used TO buy Liberty
Bonds help the United States
but the diminished consumption
of food and other articles will
do much to relieve the country
from the strain Of war.
The less the people use the
less strain there is upon the
productive capacity of the Ma
ton and the more can be de
voted to winning the war; the
more the people save the more
liberal financial support can be
given the Government. This ia
the peoples war and is financed
by the American people, not by
