This is not time for excitement or
hysteria. 1t is not time for regrets
or lamentatiors. 1t is not a time tor
evasion o. hesitation. The time !'r
all of these has passed, and Tie cour
for action h3. arrived. The presi lent
of the United States, long suffering
and patient, and in ful, possession OF
facts not accessible to US, has deemed
it necessary to bralE diplomatic rela-
tions with a great am powerful Tor
eign country-Germanv to be explicit.
The congress has approved his action
irrespective of party affiliations, and
it is incumbent upon us, the American
people, to unfalteringly support both
the president and the congress.
Party lines have been swept away,
and in the hour of danger we are one
people united in the defense of our
country and its rights and its citizen
ship.
Nationality has been forgotten. We
are not Germans, or Britons, or
Frenchmen, or Austrians, or Italians,
or peoples of any other land but this.
WE ARE AMERICANS-of one
heart, one soul and one purpose.
We seek no conquest, no Illicit gains
at the expense of another nation. We
seek only that degree of right and
Justice that is due us as a people and
as intelligent human beings
But if in the pursuit Of these rights
it becomes necessary for the president
to resort to stern measures, then let
us rally TO him and to the flag in such
numbers and in such strength that our
future peace and security will be as
sured for all time to come.
We have no Ill toward the German
nation, but our country comes first in
all things, and must be defended at all
hazards and at whatever sacrifice may

My children have never felt

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN

They do, not because 1t is fad.

thing harmful. They have found
that in washing the hair il Ia
never wise to use a makeshift but

Many Of our friends say they get
the best results from simple
homemade canthrox mixture. You
can use this at a cost OF about
three cents shampoo By getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
and dissolving a teaspoonful in Q
cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the
top Of the head. as with most
preparations. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear in the rinsing

Let Uncle Sam Do 1t

When our government urged subscription to
the billions of Liberty loan it was announced that
the proceeds would be loaned to our allies that
they might purchase munitions produced by our
shops, iron and steel manufacturers in partic-
ular.
The enormous number of small subscriptions
to that loan clearly showed that what is called
"the working classes" came forward with their
money. Plenty of jobs at living wages was
surely an inducement, condition that all the
millions of wage earners were for heart and SOUL
The strike of the %, 600 iron workers of the
Pacific coast is because such condition has NOT
resulted in their case. For three years, they had
been working under contracts w ich made no
provision for rise in cost of living, improvement
In the condition of other workers. or increased
ability Of their employers to pay more. All Of
the benefits held out when the bonds were Of
fered had accrued to the profiteers, exclusively,
In the case of these iron workers. Morally and
practically, if not directly, the government had
broken faith
The government thru the shipping board, is
fully justified, on every ground, in now coming
forward with an offer to pay one-half the wage
increase where the builders profits on comman-
deered ships do not exceed 10 per cent.
So far so good but there are many cases in
which the profits far exceed 10 per cent Gov
eminent should require that the excess profits
over 10 per cent should be used to meet the wage
increases, or it should take over and operate the
refractory concerns.
Sometime, somewhere, government has got to
handle the war profiteers without gloves, as "a
horrible example, to all profit hogs, and this Pa
cific coast matter offers splendid opportunity
for it.
Soon the government must offer more billions
of bonds. 1t ought to be in position to urge that
the proceeds will finally reach the pockets of the
wage-earners rather than the fat bank accounts
of the plutocrats.
