SWORD AND GOWN

Whoever stated the principle of
"old men for counsel, young men for
war;" struck a note which still rings
clear, though the clamor of the "ef-
ficiency expert" has muffled its reso-
nance during the past decade. Occa-
sionally it sounds out in unmistak-
able fullness of tone and constrains
the world to listen.
Lloyd-George is not actually
young, nor Arthur Balfour hopeless
ly old, yet they can easily fall into
the respective classifcations. Old or
young, Hoyd-George has shown
England how to- make her war ag-
gressive, and Mr.. Balfonr's academic
mind has received sufficient stimula-
ton from current events to formu-
late an amplifcation Of the allies

"A BLESSING IN A DREADFUL
DISGUISE"

/ The position of Hebrews of Euro
pean nations after the war is now at
tracing world wide attention. 1t is
the sole topic for which great con-
ference of Hebrews of all sects, or
thodoY and reformed, is to be called
in Washington some time before May
1. II has given new impetus to
discussion of the Zion movement. 1t
was described by William Howard
Taft, addressing the National Geo.
graphic, Society yesterday, as one of
the big questions to be settled after
the carnage is over.
Mr.. Taft paid a deserved tribute to
the loyalty. Hebrews have shown to
the various nations under whose
flags they are fighting. From a sense
of fair play and decency alone these
nations, it would seem, must give the
Hebrew a political standing like that
he enjoys in the United States. But
there is an added reason, that of re-
tanning his services in the rehabili-
tation period, which will need man.
hood of as high an order as battling
requires.
The conference which is to meet in
Washington will make an appeal on
this ground. Leaders among the
Hebrews in this country point out
that enforced emigration from Eu-
ropean nations after the war must
result from failure to give the He
brews political recognition and full
religious freedom.
In the face of such recognition,
many of the reformed Hebrews point
out, the nationalistic movement
among Hebrews seems futile. Other
leaders, especially among the ortho-
dox Hebrews, believe this liberty will
only serve to crystalline the efforts
to set up political sovereignty in
Palestine.
Whatever the effect it may have
on the pilgrimage back to the Holy
Land, this realization of long cher
ished hope for freedom of thought
and conduct in civilized nations
seems one sure result of the Euro
pean struggle, and, in the words of
Mr.. Taft, "If the war does help the
Jew it will indeed be blessing in a
dreadful disguise"

about so the dietary cops can keep
their emotions on straight.
Careful study of calorio statistics
indicates that twelve peanuts have
it all over a mutton chop for caloric
punch. 1t will take education to
train Philistine husbands to accept
the peanuts instead of the chop, but
this is a task the women's clubs
might we'll undertake. DR.. Fisk, die
tary director of the caloric "cops,"
hints at this when he states that a
pound of lard would supply enough
heat for a day, but touches upon a
caloric problem by stating, "But who
wants to eat a pound of lard ?"
Who, indeed? A half ounce of
butter has as much nourishment as
a watermelon, but in watermelon

TAGoRE AND AMERICANISM.

The doctrine preached by Sir
Rabindranath Tagore while in this
country was one with that which
various American proponents of "the
man without a country idea are
spreading so busily. Tagore decried
"nationalism;" the pacifsts inspire
disloyalty by urging upon citizens
that they owe allegiance only to
humanity" and should hold them
selves above any sacrifice for or SER
vice to the government under which
they live-but from which they are
to have no scruple about accepting
public education and protection.
Both would throw all national
machinery on the scrap heap re-
gardless of the fact that there is no
better substitute possible-consider-
ing human nature to be what it
is today and is likely to remain
for many generations-than anarchy.
Whether or not this te&ching is in
tended to produce such result, its
natural working out would be the
elimination of the families Of indi-
viduals as we'll as the elimination Of
the family of nations.
1t is of favorable augury for the
country that this philosopher in a
mother hubbard" as one of the Mid
die West literary belts journals
dubbed HMM professional jeal-
ousy failed to win much of a
vogue here. Like a peevish boy he
sounds, disappointed over having re-
ceived less petting than he expected,
speaking on his departure of our Sim
patence and crudeness." And this
after having secured enough of our
potent cash and free advertising to
satisfy any publicity hunter in such
times of close competition.
What a pity that all the "Ameri-
cans without a country" cannot be
content to follow him away!

The Working Mans Food.

There are probably ten million peo-
pie who live and grow strong on far
less than the rations supplied to these
men. The ration supplied to the,
huskiest workers in the Southern
fields, when it was good policy to.
keep them in working condition, con-
sisted of a peck of cornmeal, four
pounds of bacon, and a gallon of mo-
lasses, in any One OF which articles
there are more caIories than in
barrel of apricOts. and they worked
from the rising of the sun to the
going down of the same. The feld
hand did not know anything about
calories, but, like the cimeX lectu-
larius, he "got there just the same.
II may be of interest to the curious
TO be informed that "the calorie is
equal to fl ,593, 100000 ergs or 423,9S5
kilogramme- metres" so that it would
appear that each of the rockies took
into his system last Sunday SS,215,-
s45. $50, 900 ergs, or SIS, ,569 ,625 kilo-
gramme-metres of food, and II 1t
doesn't kill them they ought to be
good risks for any OF the insurance
companies. But it looks like waste
to give so many calories to any hu-
man being in the course OF one day
in scientific feeding. There are men
in Washington. doubtless, who do not
eat so many calories in the course OF
the year.

UPElFT: A WISH GRATIFTED

tFrom the Nc,C York Morning S"H.)
In one of his beautifully worded
speeches last summer on moral guld-
aace, on principles before self-advan-
tage. and on the subordination of
private interests to the service OF
humanity, President Wilson said:
would rather hear what the
men arc talking about on the
trains and in the shops and by the
freside than hear anything else,
because / want guidance, and
know I could get II there and
what I am constantly asking rs
that men should bring me coun-
sci. because / am not privileged
to determine things independent
" of that counsel. l am your ser
want not your ruler.
We can crafty Mr.. Wilson's wish.
We are able to tell him what men
are talking about on the. trains and
in the shops and by the freside this
morning.
They are talking about the scandal
Of the appointment by which he,
theft servant. not their ruler, at
tempts to provide salary of $4,000
a year for his personal medical at
tendant and connection by marriage
not only at the expense of the tax
payers but also at the cost Of out
rageous injustice to more than one
hundred officers the superiors of DR..
Cary T. Grayson in line of promo
tion.
They are saying that a more
shocking manifestation of selfish in
difference to public opinion, a more
degrading exhibition of personal
graft, has seldom if ever been wit
messed in the White House.
They are saying on the trains and
in the shops and by the freside that
the United States Senate isn't worth
a damn if it hasn't the manliness and
independence and justice to reject
this scandalous nomination.

THE GOVERNMENT CLERK AND
THE FARMER

Higher prices in Washington?
Why bless you they are higher ev-
erywhere. True, the farmer gets
more for his product, but doesn't he
have to pay more for his machinery,
for his labor, for everything that
goes into its making?"
That is the present style of argu-
ment among the philosophical gen.
tlemen up on Capitol Hill, who found
they needed more money to live here,
and voted their secretaries more
money, but tolerantly pat the Gov
ernment clerk on a long suffering
back, and ask him to be philosophi-
cal.
Is it true that the farmer is really
making no more proportionately
than he was ten years ago. Has the
cost of production risen proportion
ately to the selling price Of his out
put?l
The Implement and Tractor Trade
Journal thinks not It goes to con-
siderable trouble to prove its point.
Let US forget dollars. Let us
use real units of value. Bushels,
for instance, are more accurate.
In November of 1915 a gang plow
of a given make and style cost the
Nebraska farmer just 1875 bush
els of corn. He had to raise and
dispose of that much grain before
he could buy the plow. In dollars
this gang plow has since risen in
price. In bushels. however, ii has
decreased. January l. 1917, the
same pIow would have cost the
farmer just 1916 bushels of corn.
Thus a gang plow Is 24.9 bushels
of corn cheaper than il was fifteen
months ago.
What about some of the other
farm products? Well. there's
wheat. In November. 1915, this
plow would have cost the farmer
75 bushels of wheat; now it costs
him only 51.5 bushels, a decrease
. in price of 23.5 bushels of wheat.
Fifteen months ago 1t would
have taken 214.3 bushels of oats
TO purchase the plow. whereas the
ldHleF can no" get IL IOr 1lo.Z
bushels OF oats. Then il would
have cost the farmer $685. pounds
OF beef; now IL costs but 7S2
pounds of beef Then it would
have cost him 1.071.5 pounds of
pork; now. S74 pounds of pork"
1t is mighty good thing to obey
this counsel, "let US forget dollars, y
every once in a while. Gold is the
best measuring stick for values we
now have, but it sometimes is
mighty elusive, and it is especially
so in this time of prosperity and
lessening of its buying power it is
a mighty misleading economic in.
strument.
The Government clerks output is
what it always has been, plus added
output as the result of increasing de.
mands for efficiency on his part. His
income is what it has been for more
than fifty years in dollars and cents
but far less than it was even a year
ago in actual buying power.

BRINGING FARMERS, NEARER

Figures on road improvement out
lay in the New England States dur
ing 1914 have lately been compiled
by the Department Of Agriculture.
They show that roads have come to
form one of the leading outlays of
the governments of the States in the
northeast part of the country. New
York State has plunged in the matter
of roads, but the same tendency,
perhaps less marked, has existed
elsewhere. 1t is probable that New
Jersey will in the near future be-
come more liberal spender of State
funds on road improvement. The
State roads of Pennsylvania have
brought a marked change, in condi-
tions of travel in the past few years.
In road development wealthy East
ern States differ materially from
those of the West and South, where
greater area goes in company with
few inhabitants and less money. 1t
follows that the Eastern farmer,
besides his proximity to markets,
enjoys the added advantage of bet
ter routes by which to reach them.
Much complaint is heard, and with
some reason, about the exploitation
Of the Eastern city communities by
farmer and middleman. The road
improvements of the East in general
should lessen the need for middlemen
by simplifying the marketing prob
lens. Further, they should develop
the Eastern farmer, bringing back
some of his prosperity Of other days
and releasing the city communities
in many cases from subjection to dis
tant groups of growers and dealers
who cannot be easily opposed.
