AMERICA MUST WIN THE WAR.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune,
| America is not on the rim of the war.
We are in the center of it. The quicker
every American realizes this the better
for him and for the nation. :
We are not the reserve We are in
the front trenches. Beyond is No Mans
Land, and the issue of the greatest con-
flict in all history, is at the point of our
bayonets.
The American people are not yet
awake to this terrific fact. = = We
have thought that time was fighting on
our side and that, supported by our
power and influence, our allies would
soon be on the road to certain victory.
1t may be so, but it does not appear
from the situation we face today.
The president of the United States in
his message to the Russian republic has
announced to the world that America
will fight until the German government
and militant system is overthrow. He
has declared that the safety Of our free
institutions is at stake, and he has
pledged us to their defense to the last
man. The other day he pledged as to
the restoration of Belgium. These are
momentous assertions of purpose and
bind our honor to the accomplishment
of a task which every sensible American
must understand now is of gigantic pro-
portions.
We cannot play with such fateful
words. We cannot shirk compact up
on which rest the destinies of great
nations and our own. We must make
it. good with our blood. We cannot
compound in cash. We must fight aid
fight to victory.
This is not an issue of tomorrow. Wei
are today the sole hope of the allies.
Without our strength they are done.
More than that, it is not only they who
will fall with our failure but we our
selves, the America we have made and
hoped to be.
We are in the war. We carry its
issue in our souls. America is in the
front trenches. Who is not with us is
against us, America must win the war.

wise, would as soon have dictator
ship of the food gamblers"
Senator Kenyon contended the bill
does not injure farmers, who, he de-
clared, would rather have food supplies
of the nation controlled by the nation
than by the food gamester.
Senator Kenyon introduced an amend
ment empowering the president TO seize
foodstuffs in storage in order, he ex-
planned, to make certain that it does not
apply to food products held by farmers.
Discussing the licensing feature Of the
bill, Senator Borah expressed the belief
that the section would not affect the
meat packing industry He said the
larger packing companies made last
year about s14, 600, 900 profits in excess
of stock dividends, and declared that this
explained why the price of meat is high.

FARMERS WIFE
WRITES LETTER
TELLS HOW CITY PEOPLE CAN
AID IN INCREASING THE
SUPPLY OF FOOD.
DON'T SPONGE ON OTHERS
Says ThoughtIess Folk Make unneces-
sary Work for Their Friends
IN the Country Who
Are Busy.

Madison, visa farmers wife has
suggested way in which Wisconsin
| paople can help cut down the cost of
living and thus help fight the war.
1t consists merely in being thought
full of others.
In letter to Mrs. H. H. Morgan,
the woman member of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, this housewife says;
Dear Madam:
"At your meetings OF the Council
OF Defense, and from now on will you
kindly make plea for the conserva-
ton of the farmers wife's strength
and time
The government is calling upon her
TO plant gardens, can, dry, preserve.
etc, all of which she is most willing
to do If she has the time and strength.
The government is doing a great deal
to give her information, etc, but she
must have one thing more-a procla
nation or else newspaper or magazine
publicity bringing before city people
the need for her to have her Sundays
for rest or recreation after her hard
weeks work instead of spending it
waiting on endless crowds who come
in a never-ending procession Sunday
after Sunday since the automobile has
come into general use.
THE fact that she really loses two
days each week which she might be
using to help the government this
summer ought to bring this practice
into bad repute. Saturdays are spent
in extra baking, cooking, etc, and if
she is not too tired TO work at all,
Mondays are spent in replenishing the
empty larder, washing table-inen,
Strengthening disordered house, etc,
caused by the Sunday crowds.
III you can give the farmers wife's
plea sufficient publicity, many thought
less people will cease burdening their
tired country friends and you will be
doing her the greatest service that
has ever been done
obviously, this is delicate subject
for the farmers wife to plead for her
self, and if she only did defend herself,
it would not help the millions of other
farm women who suffer likewise, so
we have appealed to the heads of the
Council of Defense to defend us from
our friends--real or make believe
this busy summer, unless they bring
their lunches.
1T surely is unpatrlotic and should
be made unpopular through the press
for them to so burden us when we are
doing all this extra work in answer
to the Nations call so the city peo-
pie will have food this coming winter
and so sorely need the time and
strength instead of squandering 1t so
needlessly.
we would enjoy having people
come when we specially invite them,
of course, but we like to feel that we
will not be interrupted by two or three
more automobile loads of folks who
wanted to go Somewhere in the
country to spend the day"
If you have any doubt OF the truth
OF this, ask any farmers wife or take
trip through the country on Sunday
and see the crowds at every farm
home and count the loss to the Ma
ton. Thanking you in advance, |
shall watch for the result In the pa

of the common people, in speaking in

UNREASONABLE AND INExCUSABLE

The action Of Congress in singing out
and ievying a special war tax on the
income of newspapers from advertising
does moi appear reasonable or excusable
under the circumstances, This view
could not be well taken if all other bus.
mess were treated in like manner.
Tradesman Intelligence and skill are
essential to the advertising feature
likewise with the carpenter and con
tractor. the mason, the blacksmith, the
machinest. The timer, the plumber,
also the doctor, the lawyer, the dentist
and other calHngs class them as you
may Such discrimination is rank, and
not supportable by reason.
