Average Wages

According to a statement in the
New York Sun of June 20, the New
York State Industrial Commission es-
Inmates the increase in wages dur
ing May over the wages paid in April
at three and one-half per cent The
number of employees, however, was
smaller by less than one per cent. The
average per capita earnings for one
week in May for all employees of
both sexes were S16.15, compared
with $3.50 in April, S14.24 in May,
1916, and S12.74 in May, 1915. This
is a remarkable showing. The aver
age per week for employees of both
sexes, S16.15, is more than double
the wage average in Great Britain,
more than three times the average
on the Continent of Europe, and
more than ten times the average in
Japan Wages have increased in
all those countries, but, compared
with the rewards received by labor
in our country, they still remain in
| the category or Starvation wages.
1t is toward and to that level that
American wages should have surely
dropped long ago but for the policy
of Protection.-Ex.

Bond Purchases and National Saving
In a speech delivered by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo in New York
June 4, 1917, he made the following
statement:
eff this war continues for another
twelve months, it is probable that the
total amount of financing the Gov
eminent will have to do to cover its
necessary credit to the allied Gov
ernments will amount to ten billion
dollars"
This or some large amount will be
expended by the Governments of the
United States and its allies in the
United States in the purchase of pro-
ducts OF various kinds of our farms,
factories, and mines.
Economists are now specializing as
to whether under these conditions the
people of the United tSates are going
to spend as much as they ordinarily
| would and to their usual expenditures
will there be added the ten billion
dollars or such sums as may be spent
ny the GOV0EnInSnCS, or Will the Q6O-
pie curtail their expenditures by ap-
proximate1y the amount they invest
in Government bonds, with the result
| that the expenditures in America this
year will be practically the same as
heretofore, the people purchasing ap-
proximately as much less than usua
as the Governments purchase more.
It IS hoped that this happy balance
will be effected. The large bond buy
ers will very probably curtail theil
investments along other lines TO the
extent they invest in Government
bonds. Their ordinary expenditure;
will probably .remain the same.
It is regarded as probable that thu
/ great body of purchasers of the small
Ter amounts OF Liberty Loan Bond
are going to curtail their living ex

A Hays Patriot

Hays, June 23.-Mrs. Mary Jane
Sites, of Hays, really knows what war
means. Her husband and two sons
were in the Civil War and now two
grandsons are in this war and two of
her great-grandsons are expected to
enlist any time
She was born in Ohio in 1923, and
came to Hays in 1875. She still owns
the same quarter section on the Sa-
line river that they homesteaded then.
She had twelve children, five of whom
are living today.
The world war was hard for her to
understand, and she could not be
made to realize that the world was at
var. She would deny it and they
gave up trying to make here under
stand. But when Blaine Sites, her
grandson, and a graduate of the Fort
Hays Normal told her that he was
going TO war two months ago, she
realized what it meant and bade him
,zodspeed. She even seemed pleased
that her grandchildren ''took after"
the family tradition, although she
said she did not want Blaine to go
at first.
Mother" Sites lives from year TO
year for the one big event to her out
of the 365 days-Decoration Day.
al her few activities are directed to-
ward the next one.
Her oldest son, Jeremiah, who was
in the Civil War, wrote during that
struggle that he would be home for
Christmas dinner. He never came
and nothing was ever heard of him.
As long as Mrs. Sites could go about
the house she never missed having an
extra plate set on Christmas table.
No one ever asked her why, no one
ever alluded to It.
Blaine is twenty-four and IS the
son of her youngest son. Sanford,
who was born IN 1851. The other
grandson to enter the army is Ralph,
/ twenty-eight, who enlisted year ago
/ IN Texas. His father IS Jonah Sites,
I who lives at Garrett. The two great
! grandsons are twenty and twenty
i two wears of age. One of here grand
daughters and sister of Blaine,
Ethel, is an active Red Cross worker
at the Fort Hays Normal this sum
mer.
For wears Mrs. Sites was a reader
/ of The Capital and since the United
/ States entered the war, she has beer
read to from its columns daily about
| the part that America is to play and
( is plaving IN the war. Before Blaine
/ enlisted She did not care to have then
read of the war, but now she does

The Czechs

Not many Americans knew three
years ago whether Czechs were peo-
pie or horses. Now the world know
ledge brought by the war makes the
Czechs and Slovaks, familiar names
even II their meaning is not fully
understood q
The Czechs are the people of Bo-
hemia. They are OF the Slay race,
cousins at least to the Russians. The
Slavs Overran Central Europe a
thousand years ago and then were
driven back on one side by Germany
and on the other side by the Huns.
An island of Slavs remained in Bo-
hemia, entirely surrounded by Ger
mans. Bohemia IS one of the finest
parts of the Austrian empire. Its CT
ties are beautiful, its mountains rich
IN mineral and its fields fertile. The
people of Bohemia are the best edu-
Gated, the most successful in bust
ness and IN many respects the very best
of the empire. They Nave Z great his
tory and literature ard they have pre-
served their language and their "a
cial purity with rare success. So " hen
you read of Czechs or BOhemians
you must bear IN mind that they have
better schools than Germany or
America, that they are talented and
industrious and that only their posi-
ton inside of the German ring has
kept them from making a distinct I'M
preston on modern conditions.
The emperor of Austria is king of
Bohemia, Just as he is king of Hun
gary. But Hungary has q seperate
congress from the rest of Austria
while Bohemia is included in the Aus
TRAN empire and has representation
/ in the Austrian congress, when there
is ere. There has been no meeting
of the Austrian parliament largely
because the CZechS compose large
part of it and the heart of the Czechs
is not with the Kaiser The news has
been suppressed but several regiments
of Czechs have deserted to the Rus
slams and several more regiments
have been shot down by the Austrian
soldiers because they were suspected
OF treason.
In this world war the Bohemians
were modified and sent into the bat
| ties but whenever possible they were
placed on fronts against Italians and
I English. because of their well known
/ sympathy with their Slav cousins IN
Serbia and Russia. Nearly all the
newspapers in Bohemia have, been
| suppressed for publishing news and
views not approved by the Germans.
/ The country IS so surrounded that
any uprising could be easily crushed
1 by forces from Austria and Prussia
But at some stage OF the great. war
! the patriotism and natural feelings
/ of the Czechs is going TO blow up
and they vii make a big hole within
/ the Teutonic lines. Many Of the lead
! ing Bohemians have been exlled,
many are in jail and some have been

/ ed of preparing a revolution against
/ the Austrian government.

Criticism and Partisanism In War
Time

Criticism and Partisanism IN War
Time.
Criticism of the war administra-
ton, the President and the volunteer
forces he has invited to help in war
administration, is confined to a rela-
lively few individuals has made small
impression on the public, and is most
significant for one outstanding fact:
1t is not a general party attitude.
Six months ago it might have been
thought the Republican party was
for a time fairly out of the political
game War faced the country and the
opposition was firmly seated in power.
Looking about, it could not be said
that any Republican doomed up head
and shoulders out of the crowd. There
were many leaders in whom the coun-
try had confidence. There was no
overshadowing figure.
Under these circumstances the
minority in Congress has chosen &
wise course. Republicans have not
taken their course from a shrewd cal
culation of political consequences.
But what they have done is to sup
port the administration quietly, faith
fully, without fuss and in the spirit
of honest patriotism.
The President has a party plurality
of one in the House, perhaps two, or
perhaps it is a standoff There was
much discussion of the question when
| Congress met. All that is now for
gotten, because the President has a
majority of hundred or of two hun
dred. The House has practically COM
| pleted the administration legislative
| program and is marking time, wait
| ing for the Senate to catch up.
There have been several critical
| periods in the progress Of this legis-
! lation comforting unusual powers on
| the President, but he has come
through in triumph, because Republi-
! cans quietly acted as they talked
t'Stand by the President" When the
! situation has been doubtful it has
never because of the opposition of
4 the Republican minority. but because
of the weakening of the Democratic
lines.
1t would be entirely unjust to the
minority to attribute this wise action
to mere policy. On the contrary, Re-
publicans in Congress have Loyalty
supported a Democratic President
because they desire to see the govern
ment succeed, because they are as

avoid mistakes. It is simply a fine ex-
ample of patriotism rising above par
tyisni. When Mr.. Balfour left Wash.
ington he stated that the United
States has accomplished in eight
weeks what England muddled ovel
for more than twelve months It Is
because Congress has shown team
!. work, because partisanism has beer
in the discard.
i If Republicans had their eye peel
ed merely upon party success IN The
next campaign they could not have
acted more shrewdly. They never
stood better with the country. Their
. political chances have immensely i'm
} proved. The country approves OF
their conduct and spirit Everybod!

dent" but not everybody means 1t

shown they mean it by their acts

based on sound reasoning and many
known instances. 1t is stated with
confidence by publicists that the
great majority of the purchasers of
the Liberty Loan Bonds will at the
end of twelve months be richer by
the amount of their bond purchases,
having by economy saved that much
during the year.
The Liberty Loan Bond is going to
be a tremendous facter for good in
the economic life of the American
people. The expenditure of vast sums
for American products will bring
prosperity. If this is accompanied by
economy, our country will indeed be
fortunate.

Who viii eventually pay all the

be touched by the tax is figuring on
getting his additional tax back. If
he sells q certain commodity and the
taxhits him, hesimply raises the price
on that commodity and of course gets
it back. The manufacturers Of autOmO-
biles raise the prices on their ears
and get the tax back. John D. Rookie
Teller raises the price of gasoline a
few cents per gallon and gets his tax
back and then some. The propriefors
