GambIed In Drug.

Dr.. FOote Shows How Spectators
played this game.
In communication to this Nation
al GeOpraghic Society DIR. John Foote
presents an amazing collection of
facts regarding the effect of the war
on the world wide sources upon which
the physician relies when he writes
his simplest prescriptions. The war
has brought home to the American
people the realization that the phar-
maclst must go to every nook and
corner OF the. globe for the drugs
which I'LL his bottles, his salve boxes,
and his powder receptacles- A por-
ton OF DR.. Foote'S communication
was issued today by the Geographic
Society as the following war geogra-
ply bulletin.
When the war cloud bursts in Eu-
rope sudden paralysis of credit tenn
porarily engulfed the Western World.
As business relations were restored.
ocean travel resumed and traders set
aside the sense of danger, certain Sc
cret1ve individuals crossed from Eu-
rope, keeping to themselves and
avoiding smoking room conversation,
using the wireless overmuch, and re-
celvlng daily aerOgrams in private
code. They were spectators, gam
bIers, these nervous, anxious-looking
unknows, not dealers in war mater
lals nor food, but that you and I so
frequently buy IN the corner drug
store.
"To gain possession of existing
stores of German manufacturers, and
especially German patented chemi-
Gals, was the game these gentlemen
played and at such enormous profits
as to make the plungers in "war
brides" of later days seem conserva-
tive bankers by comparison. For in
stance, the Spectator who in July,
1914, invested $1,000 in anntipyrin,
used extensively In headache rene
dies, would in 1915 or 1915 have a
profit on his purchase of $4,000,
with no possible chance of a slump in
the market. This was particularly
true of all patented German medici-
nal chemicals in general use, as well
as many substances necessary IN the
arts and sciences.
mo merchant sells more diversely
born or more widely travelled mer
chandiSe than the pharmacist, and &C
cordlngly no business is so quickly

throughout to any change in the
volume of flow in even the most re-
mote branch.
The way of supply and demand
applies likewise to drugs, therefore

the mines stopped working for a
year. Elk.

We ARE ONLY VOLUNTEERS

We don't belong to the regulars,
We're Bakers Volunteers,
We're only part of ranks and file
But someone holds US dear,
Many mothers heart will ache
Within the coming year,
But Uncle Sam will take off his hat
To the Bakers Volunteers.
We're from the wild and woody west
We're Bakers one and all
From Rocky Mountains to the sea
We've answered our country's call ;
From Canada to Mexico,
Beneath the western skies,
We've come to help the regulars,
The job Is just our size.
Wen lay down our ovens in no mans
land
Wen lay them there to stay.
Wen use the --lnerican methods
And lay them the modern way,
Well take our own equipment and
lay them right in Krupps.
And once we lay them down,
Be damned If we take 'em up.
We don't know much about the
drill,
The regulars to do,
Wen make the Kaiser clean the
fires,
And the boys will clean threats
Well lay them down in Aisne and
Somme,
And this is what We'll do,
Wen lay them down in Kaiser
land,
With the old red, white and blue.

Red Cross Can't Rest

IF everyone realized the imme-
date need of surgical bandages and
dressings for the Red Cross, they
would push that work more than any
other" said Mrs. Blanche Clarkson
Evans, recently who has lived in Paris
for twelve years. She returned to
American in August She is a for
mer Salina girl and is the guest of
Miss Florence Geghart. Mrs. Evans
refuses to credit herself with any war
work, but it would be impossible for
her to waste a minute-her knitting
needles are her constant companions,
and the sweater she started Friday is
nearly completed.
I'm very small workroom in Paris
we turned out 10000 bandages week
ly. We pay more attention to guam
tity than quality. Of course the Red
Cross demands expert knitting, and
no sock must have knot nor a seam.
The socks are needed more than the
sweaters for the government will fur
nish the boys with plenty of warm
clothing.
''The spirit in America is beautiful
American women are waking up es-
pecially in the smaller places. Posi-
bly, it is more noticeable than in
the cities. But everyone seems so en-
thusiastic in the work.-Salina Jour
nal.

How long will our own people sub
NIT to being held up by a coterie of
so-called statesmen who know no
more about political economy than
so many eight grade schoolboys? I'm
der Protective Tariff our national
treasury was always full and running
over and our own people were not
bled for anything by the government
Ample revenue, and some to spare,
was paid into our national Golfers
from abroad as a Tariff on foreign
goods shipped to our ports. But not
so now. All is changed. Our own
people are being heavily taxed to
raise money for war expenditures,
while foreigners who send goods to
our market are required to pay little
Or nothing.
There is a remedy, and it is the
reenactment of a Protective Tariff
law. This can be done in one way,
and in one way only. The Free-Trade
Tariff crowd now in charge of the
government must be retired to pri-
vate life, and some real statesmen
elected in their stead. Let the people
see to it that every man they send
to either house or congress next fall
is a Protectionist, and the trick will
be turned. Then the good old days
will return and our people will be
prosperous and happy.

The Secret Treaties

The interesting news comes that
the new governmnt of Russia has
published seventeen "secret treaties"
made by the old cars government
with other countries of Europe.
There are two kinds of treaties so
far as publicity is concerned, the
open and the secret. The open treaty
of the countries interested and of
course of the world. The other kind
is the bargain and sale business that
must not be known for some reason.
The latter kind have been the main
springs of trouble in Europe and
were doubtless responsible for the
present war.
Apparently our government is not
going to permit the publication in
this country at this time of the treat
les made public by the Russians. They
would make most entertaining read
ing but they may contain paragraphs
and deals that would embarrass our
Allies. But when once published in
any language they will no longer be
secret and we will probably first get
stories of them and when proper they
will be printed in full by American
newspapers which will get them
from the Russian papers.
1t would be a great illumination
for the people of the world If all the
secret treaties of all the nations, Ger
man, English, and all, should be made
public They ought to be and the
Great Peace which is coming should
have clause forbidding these secret
deals
The writer's of the future will find
lots Of exciting material in the diplo-
matte disclosures sure to come from
the Russian publicity. Let US hope
we will soon get permission to enjoy
the details.-Hutchins News

LOYAL to Conservation

GIN conservation OF food, France is
loyal. One and one-half pounds of
sugar Is allowed q week, with the
presentation Of a card. They have
two meatless days a week, and war
bread has been served for a long
time In public restaurants and no
tells they are very strict IN their con-
serVation.
cit is not only the men who fight
in France Everybody fights They
do it gladly. We think over here that
our boys ought not to go, but In
France the age limit is seventeen to
forty-seven years for compulsory ser
vice Under present conditions, any
one who can carry a gun there is ac-
cepted for service. Of course France
Is the most patriotic of nations and
the manner IN which they have stood
their attacks Is a revelation Of their
nature.

A FalIacy and a Fraud

The doctrine of cheapness is the
main reliance of Free-Traders in ad-
vOcating unrestricted competition.
They will tell you that even though
American wages were reduced as the
result of the free admission of the
cheap labor, the American workman
would be more than recompenensed
by the great reduction in price of the
articles which he must buy. Gin a
condition of unrestrained trade,
everything would be cheap" is the
Free-Trade argument. Probably
everything would be cheap in money
price, but costly when measured by
the degradation which would ensure.
The doctrine of cheapness is a falla-
cy and fraud. It has always been
true, the world over that when mer-
chandise is the cheapest, men are the
poorest. The most distressing exper-
fences in our own country and in all
other countries have been when
everything was the lowest and cheap
est, measured by labor. Under the
Protective system American wages
have been by far the highest in the
world and Americans labor wageshave
purchased more of labor's needs than
in any other country in the world
This is a fact which American work
men should not lose sight of-Amer-

The time to Prepare for it Is Now.
An English statesmen said that
consistency is virtue of small minds
and it is refreshing to see how the
President who except US out of war;
has spared no effort to win the war
after we embarked in it. Let us hope
that the broadminded spirit that he
has shown in war will cause him to
see the wisdom of establishing our
mercantile fleets in effective strength
in time of peace, although such ac-
ton is utterly at variance with the
policy of his party for the past forty
years.
When the war is over we don't
want a political merchant marine, ex-
travagantly operated with one day off
in three for all Sailors. We shall
want the best ships in the world
afforded reasonably Protection by
the Government and efficiently oper-
ated by men who have no pull but the
ability to pull an oar or a rope. In
time of war prepare for peace.
Germany as well as other nations
IS planning to make tremendous eff
ort or take a commanding position in
the commerce of the world and if we
are to have big merchant fleet I'M

the time to prepare for it is now

Burdens on Americans

americans
The Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce has published sta
tistics from which it is learned that
a remarkable increase in volume of
imports has taken place. For Aug
ust a total of $270, 5O9,379 was
reached, which makes an average ex-
ceeding 1920, 100000 a year. This
shows an increase as comparde with
1916 of over $70,0OO,OOO over the
same month and was $4,000. 600
more than the month of August
1915
Our foreign purchases now amount
to more than three and a quarter bill
lions of dollars a year, much of
which comes in duty free and none
OF which averages more than per
cent. Tariff duty.
Every dollar'sworth of foreign pro
ducts brought to this country dis
places just SO much of American
goods, keeps just so many American
Workmen from earning a living, cur
tails just so much American produc-
ton on the part of American manu-
facturers.
Aside from this, the present Tariff
! or -Free-Trade law permits foreign
ers to do business in this country and
make profit out of our people with
out the slightest support to our gov
eminent IN taxes and revenues. and
throws all the burdens of taxation
for war and all other purposes upon
| our own people.
This is one of the beauties of a
Democratic administration which the
country will some day awaken TO, but
which at the present moment is
brushed by without consideration
