USE YOUR MONEY.

Webster City Freeman-Journal:
Well. taxes and living are mighty
high, but what of it if you have the
price? Suppose you lose a few dol:
lars this year, perhaps few hundred
dollars? That will not be such ter
rible misfortune-if you have the
money Maybe you can lose few
thousand and still have plenty left. 1t

you and your family and all the peo'

not all they want, to eat and wear

and end to be attained. Really, all
money is good for is to help attain the
end of the war, to make the world a
better place in which to live, to help
the poor over the hard places, to take
cheer where cheer is needed and
where it doesn't often go. Some of the
old misers count the damages to the
corn crop in dollars and cents, while
the dollars lost is really the least ser.
ious thing about it. The people of the
world need the corn to eat and its
poor quality on that account is seri'
Gus. It is not so serious because the
farmer or land owner or business man
will get smaller financial returns. 1t
is time to get away from the idea OF
weighing everything by dollars and
cents. Money makes the world hard
and Indifferent by being worshiped
and given too much consideration. The
happiest days OF John d. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie were when they
had no money, but had the content

A TARIFF ECHO.

About $15.nOO,0O0 worth of merchan.
disc, of German and Austrian origin,
consigned to United States importers,
was held up by the British authorities
shortly after the European war broke
out, and since that time it has lain
in Rotterdam and other neutral ports.
The merchandise includes large guam.
ties of Christmas toys, lace, gloves,
novelties and other goods, and per-
mission has at length been secured
through our state department for the
release Of these products and their in
PRODUCTION to our retail trade in time
for the holidays. Their belated arriv-
al at our port will constitute a re.
minder to some of our own manufac-
turers of the dreary days when the
Wilson Underwood tariff law laid its
cold hand on Industrial America.

A SOLDIERS PRAYER.

Not more of courage, Lord, l seek,
But faith that comes from Thee.
Not greater strength, but how to use
What Thou hast given me.
Not more of joy, but just to feel
Thy gracious presence near.
That 7 may give to others, Lord,
All that l can of cheer.
Give me all fear to dominate,
All goodly things to know,
To be the friend I long to be,
And truth to others show;
To love the pure, to seek the good.
To strive with all my might
To win the cause of brotherhood,
When things shall be set right.
l thank Thee for the precious gifts,
The joy that possess,
The skill to do Thy holy will,
The power to others bless.

EXPERT ADVICE.

Aberdeen News: Nearly everyone.
except railroad men, can sit down and
explain logically. and convincingly
why the railroads should have an
abundance of rolling stock and be able
to handle all the traffic that comes
to them and make money hand over
fist without increasing rates. But
nearly everyone can tell newspaper
man how to run a paper-and every
grandmother can give physician tips
on the proper treatment of sick people,
while nearly every newspaper in the
land gives the farmer instruction con-
corning the manner in which to oper.
ate a farm profitably. - ~.

A SHIPPER CONVINCED

The low net earnings shown by
many of the railroads, due to the
increased cost of labor and materials,
and the low stage of market value,
of railroad securities, convinces Wal
ter S. Dickey, of Kansas City, that
the roads should be granted a mater
ial increase in freight rates. He takes
this view notwithstanding the fact
that he is large shipper, using some
$4,000 cars of transportation every
year. This attitude, taken by one who
pays the freight" will go far toward
convincing the public of the justice
of the petition OF the roads for in
creased returns for the service.

THIS WAR OF sclENcE-BOMBIN
RAIDS,

Great hopes are entertained of what
the new United States fleet OF air
planes will be able to do in bombing
raids. 1t is interesting to note the
ideas of the technical writer's as to
how these raids should be. conducted
1t was recently stated, and if so it is
a point of some importance, that the
new Liberty motor will be noiseless.
Much is expected from raids made
at night, or at least on nights dark
enough SO that the airplanes would be
an elusive mark, yet not so dark as
20 wholly conceal objects on the
ground. The machines are equipped
with lights on their tips and tails, SO
that a feet can navigate without dan
ger of collision. The idea has been
that they could penetrate far into the
German lines, and deliver. a heavy
load of bombs on munition plants and
storehouses before the Germans could
locate them in the uncertain light.
These plants are thoroughly pro.
tected by anti.aircraft guns and de-
fensive airplanes. Yet some of the
technical writer's say that the guns on
the allied airplanes could shoot out
the search lights with which the en-
envy would locate our planes. This
seems to involve pretty high range
of craftsmanship, under the very diff
ficult conditions of air fighting. To
the onlooker it hardly seems likely
that it could be done effectively.
But if the United States motor
proves to be so noiseless that it can
swoop down on the enemy city with
out being discovered before it begins
it's deadly work, it's chances of sue
cess would be much improved. The
quieter the machines the better their
chances of avoiding attack in night
fighting.
Considering how automobile en-
gines used to chug chug in their early
period of development, and the noise
less motion they have now attained.
the prediction of noiseless airplane
motor seems likely to be fulfilled.

BUSINESS vs.. PRoFITEERlNe.

Minneapolis Journal: The Oregon
Indian who raised his price for blue
berries, giving the astonished consum-
er as a reason the statement that there
was q "a hades of big war in
Europe" has had numerous company
of brothers in business. Tired bust
ness men," who we're not suspected of
so much waggishness. advanced the
price of lead pencils, because of the
Rumanian oat crop" One iceman last
summer gave as the cause of an ad.
vance in prices the severe winter.
An eastern coal dealer cOnvulsed a
commission of inquiry by adopting an
other form of humor. 1t was the same
as that once affected by "the jolly
Robbers" of old The sastute coal
merchant was hailed into court to ,ex-
|plain certain things. And his reply
seems likely to go down In history.
When asked why he charged Sc ton
for coal that cost him 81, he replied
jovially, Because l can get that
much" 80
Such attitudes indicate men who
have no conception of aything like
duties owed to the public in their oc-
equations. They are merely in it to
get what they can. Any glimmering
of an idea of morality in the matter is
to them ridiculous. Not only does
such state of mind injure themselves
but innocent business suffers with the
guilty.
There are legitimate profits and
there is "profiteering." The unthink-
ing are likely to confound the two, and
to carry the remedies too far. But
remedies there are in abundance for
profiteering. If the question of moral
ity does not disturb those who take
because they can, caution should.
