ENEMIES OF THE COUNTY AND MA.
TON.

In every national crisis there have
been hosts of shrewd men who saw
chance to mint the blood and tears of
nation into drops of gold. We speak
bravely of Washington's soldiers at
Valley Forge; we say nothing at all
about the patriots" at home whose
eXtortion made that winter the hell
that it was. Even in Revolutionary
times. ghoulsh men who would profit
out of woe-Illegitimate, piratical pro-
fits-were in evidence.
In the civil war it was the same thing.
Men sold shoddy TO the government and
rations unfit for use. and squirmed
themselves into the government service
to do business with themselves in mat
tiers of transportation and supplies.
The scandals of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, which are still remembered
by the mature generation, arose from
the same cause. Men took advantage
of the stress of the times to reap for
tunes which were paid for not only in
the need of the people but in the death
of men through neglect and illnourish-
ment.
The traitor who trafficks with the
enemy has his place fixed for him be-
yond retrieve. Nothing can ever hap
pen in this world to render him respect
able. But the man who trafficks with
his own government to that govern
ment's hurt, charging it three prices
for what is buys, showing upon it shoddy
goods because the emergency is so i'm
perious that he knows he can get by
with it-knowing all the while Gf he
thinks at alb that he is robbing the
people who are already burdened with
a war. and cheating the soldiers who
have already offered all they have to
give-we say that such a man should
have his place and the name of his act
as definitely fixed as the other sort of
traitor has.

There are those who assert that we
have indisputable proof that Germany
is breaking. These people find this
proof in her willingness to make peace
without annexation or indemnities,
without any advantage from the su-
perior military position which she holds,
or from the submarine campaign which
she pretends to think is being fatal to
England
It's possible that Germany's eager
ness for peace and reconciliation is
based, as these people assert, upon
economic conditions or ralization that
eventually she must be militarily de-
feated. But there is another explana-
ton. Germany has to fear something
worse than military defeat or economic
pressure. The most terrible thing that
could befall her would be an economic
alliance against her after the war.
Germany as Germany cannot exist if
shut off from the markets of England,
America, France, Russia. Italy. 1t is
vain to say that military victory by
Germany would enable her to include in
her peace terms a provision that there
should be no economic alliance against
her. She could not, in any peace terms,
compel the good will of other nations.
Ii the war ends with them hating Ger,
many they will not buy her goods, even
if no tariff walls discriminate against
those goods. 1t is not possible to com
pell the will of peoples. 1t is not pos
sible in peace terms to provide against
an economic boycott.
The greatest enemy that Germany
has is the Widespread hatred which ex-
lists against her in the world. Cultural
ly she might be able to endure that
hatred. Economically she cannot. 1t
Is to her interest TO end the war before
that feeling is intensified. 1t is to her
interest to end the war and sacrifice all
material gains if she can become recon
ciled to the other members of the fami-
" of nations. This economic threat j.
the most powerful weapon which the
enemies of Germany.hold in their hands.

1t may be that our imaginative pow
ers are too narrow, it may be that our
experience of men is too limited, but
we cannot think of such men amongst
us-men bearing the name American,
men clubbing themselves patriots, men
who shouted loudest for war and talk
ed most about sacrifice-we cannot
think of such men and know what
they are doing, and what they are
willing to do for profit, without feeling
that they are more active and dan
gerous enemies of the United States
than the heart-persuaded pro. German
who shouts for the kaiser. The pro-
German is at least one faced and honest
these reapers of illegltimate profit are
two-faced and traitorous.
1t goes without saving that our goy-
ernmant must do business with the
business men of the country. 1t goes
without saying that lumber man
could, if he would, do great service as
the government agent in buying lum-
Der supplies. and that experts or man.
ufacturers in any line, if they were
honest and wholly consecrated to the
governments interests, could be great
ly useful in the work of purchasing
that must be done. 1t ought to be, if
we were all patriotic. that the govern
ment could trust the great meat baron
to buy from himself as a government
agent at lower price than smaller
purchasers could. We say it ought to
be so. If we were patriots, if we were
honest, if we felt the war in our heart
as we ought to, this government ought
to be able to rely on everyone of US
dong the big thing without penny in
crease of profit.
How woefully some men fail in this
test! With our unspoiled manhood
marching out to face the supreme test.
how pitiable. how eXecrable it is to see
men biding safely at home to coin lille
gitimate dollars out of this great mob
ilization of the nation S young manhood
Young men are leaving the payments
on their homes, in order to go to war;
some rich men are staying in the rear
to get the gold of greed by pressing a
government that is up against so big a
task that it simply must trust whole
hosts of men to do business for 1t.
The man whom we denounce is the
man who bleeds money from a people
that is already beginning to bleed real
blood for freedom. Any man who
eXults in war as a chance to further his
nefariols commercial trickery is an
enemy to his country and an enemy to
humanity; hebelongs to the reptilian race
on which all men instinctively set their
foot.

Why Use Intermittent Method
In Canning?

To the Editor of The Republican,
Bacteria in their active growing state
can be killed by subjecting them to
moist heat at boiling temperature for
different lengths Of time Unfortunate
" for the Gamer many kinds of bacteria
have the power under adverse conditions
of producing spores which are much
more resistant to heat than are the
growing stages. These spores are often
able to resist boiling temperatures for
hours Almost all the bacteria which
are so resistant to heat when in the
spore state are abundant in cultivated
soil. and therefore present upon the
pods and husks of such vegetables as
corn, peas and beans, which contain the
food upon which the spore- bearing
forms thrive. The presence of these
bacteria upon the parts of vegetables
to be canned, therefore. is almost in
evlatable. The difficulty of sterilizing
is increasingly great when such vege-
tables have been bruised or allowed to
stand, or have among them decayed por-
tons. Since certain vegetables are
frequently attacked by spore- bearing
bacteria, longer period of sterilization
at boiling temperature is required for
them than for fruits. Often they are
steriized by boiling three to five hours.
The spores of some species of bacteria
have been known to resist even five
hours boiling. Since this might give a
chance for failure and intermittent or
fractional sterilization is applied to
household canning when a hot water
Gamer is used for processing certain
vegetables. Intermittent sterilization
consists of applying boiling temperature
to vegetables already packed in contain
ers for period on each of three sue
cessive days, sealing the jarsimmediate
ly after each boiling or processing
After each daily processing the contain
ers are kept at ordinary temperature,
under which the spores not killed by
boiling develop into bacteria of the
growing state. which are then destroy
ed by the next period of boiling. Rare
ly do many spores fail thus to develop
and be destroyed by the third process
sing. Processing for one hour in Il
water bath at boiling temperature on
the first day, repeated on the second
and third days. will ordinarily sterihze
beans, peas, and corn in quart jars. The
flavor of vegetables thus processed is
finer than when they are subjected to
high temperature. This Is the safest
method to follow with not water can
ners.
Bulletins describing in detail the
method recommended sby the govern
ment together with many valuable re-
cipes may be secured by writing to
