 Since the war began, there has not been more patriotic class in the United States of America than those who guide the destinies of it's news papers. There have been exceptions but generally the editors of the nation have been steadfast and superlatively patriotic. Nothing has escaped their watchful eyes and no organization has been too big, too powerful or too in- f1uentiaI to escape the whitening fire from their pens If the organization deviated from the paths of patriotism. First and all the time, they have been patriots and no threats from the American Union Against Militarism or any other organization can gag honest criticism. It is true that harsh words have been printed against the Union and if it continues to play with fire it is probable that other harsh words will be used in criticising its acts. If the Union desires to escape

That is fact from which no one can escape If Prussian barbarian. as considered as a criterion, a fate a thousand times worse awaits America if the Kaiser's minions ever land on our coasts. We are at war and if the sincerely desirous of aiding the gov ernnent it should shut up shop and throw the key into the ocean. That would be the greatest act of pa triotism the Union could perform, but as it is highly improbable that such course will be adopted the coun- try must try to worry along with this increased burden

THE PENALTY OF GREED

In these trying hours there NAV
arise few who will try to get rich
quick at the expense of the nation
and Its people. But it will be neither
profitable or wise for them to at
tempt anything of the kind.
II their business is national in its
scope, the government will handle
them without gloves. The president
has so warned them.
If their business is local in char
acter, we, the people, will see that
they get their just deserts.
There must be no price boosting,
no gougiIng, no angling for sudden
wealth for the few at the expense
The man who can not be a patriot
from choice must have it thrust upon
him from necessity.

will must prevail. 1t must be a

WANT BIRTH CERTIFICATES

A great many applications are be-
ing received by the Bureau of Vital
Statistics at Bowling Green, for certi-
he'd copies of birth certificates from
men who are anticipating enlistment
IN the army or navy or are seeking
civil Service appointments. 1t is re-
GREETED that these requests cannot be
complied with owing to the fact that
the law has only been in effect since
1911. However, this should be a re-
malnder to every doctor and every
parent that each little babe should
have its birth recorded and be pre-
pared for such a time in the future
as will demand it's birth reconds.
There has never been a period in our
national existence that so strongly
pointed out the necessity of birth
registration as at present. Registra-
ton means that each child will be
able to establish it's identity to the
world as citizen of the United
States, prove its age of inheritance,
prove age when applying for civil
service positions, age of liability I'M
der the law, age for school, military
duty, and protection under the child
lahor law also the name, age, occupa-
ton and nationality of its parents
Certainly a vital asset for every
child. The vital statistics law makes
1T compulsory on the part of physi-
clans and midwives to report all
births to the nearest registrar and
this record be kept in fireproof vaults
by the State Bureau.
There are some who are disregard
ing this law and they may we'll be
c'assed as "slackers" for they are not
cooperating with the government in
ITS effort to guard every resource
