YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG

Your flag and my flag
How it waves today
Ger your land anrl my land,
And river, lake and bayl
Rose-red and blood-red
It's stripes forever CLEAN;
Snow-white and soul-white,
The good forefathers' dream.
Sky-blue and true-blue
It's stars that shine Alright
A glorious guidon of the day,
A shelter through the night.
Your flag and my flag
And, oh, how much it holds
OF your home and my home
Secure within ita fOldsl
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at it's sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed-
The Red and Blue and White.
You owe and I owe
1t love and loyalty
The One Flag, the Great Flag,
The Flag for you and me.

There is growing evidence that the
U,Boat menace is not the menace it
was thought to be, rather that the
menace is being COPIED with and most
successful. There are sinkings it is
true, but not on the scale they start
ed with. AT the same time there are
more frequent reports of disaster to
the undersea craft and it is evident
some way not announced has been
found to combat them. Best evil
dence had of the failure of the U Boat
to cut off the food supplies of England
and France is the reports of increased
rather than decreased food reserves.

A bill relating to the rights OF home
steaders who join the army or navy has
passed both houses of congress and
will doubtless be signed by the presi.
dent. This bill gives credit for military
and naval service to each person who
has made an entry or filed application
for entry, or effected a valid settlement
on a tract. All arms are included,
provided the unit shall have been feder-
allied. The act provides that in case
death of the soldier or sailor while in
actual service his widow, minor chll-
dren or other heirs may at once sub
nit proof.

HapIess Kaiser Sees
Only Hope In Defiance
Of the Popular Will

News Of the appointment Of Count Won
Hertling as German chancellor, in place
OF the pitiful Michaels viii come as a
disappointment to all true friends OF
democracy.
Won Hertling, formerly premier OF
Bavaria, is a fanatical pan-German and
supporter of the Junker regime.
He has in the past distinguished him
self for his arrogant contempt of all
forms of popular government.
A stronger man than Michaehs. ne IS
even more unlikely to satisfy those iber-
ais who forced the retirement Of Beth
mann Hollweg's successor.
From his action in appointing Won
Hertling, it would appear that the kaiser
has become convinced that it is useless 70

the reichstag, and that more Is 10 be &C

lar will.
In Won Hertling he has an instrument

Hoover Finds a Way
To Punish Food Men
GOuging the Public

Those retailers who have been gouging
the public by extortionate prices. despite
the urgent appeals Of the food admins
tration for fair play. are due for a severe
jolt.
Most retailers. as well as wholesalers
have been honestly doing their best 70 CO.
operate with Mr.. Hoover i'm his efforts 20
keep the war prices Of necessalies within
reasonable limits
They have been satisfied with iMr
living profit and have rot tried 10 fatten
on the national emergency.
But a few, taking cover under the
clause Of the food law which says that
retail food establishments doing busi-
ness of less than 100000 a year can or
crate without federal licenses, have per-
sisted in profiteering.
Hoover can't touch us said these iei-
lows, and they have been going night
along charging all the traffic will bear and
gouging the last cent from the purse o.
an overburdened public
Food Administrator Hoover has again
and again appealed to these men in vain.
Secure in their fancied immunity they
have laughed at any and all summons to
patriotism.
But it now appears these gentlemen
aren't so secure as they imagined.
Mr.. Hoover has no direct authority
over their business, it is true.
But after November i, ne has the
power to withhold the right TO continue
in business from any wholesaler who con-
tinues to supply them with goods.
No wholesaler is going to jeopardise his
license and thereby his livelihood by sup
plying these men in defiance Of the eX-
pressed wish Of the food administration
So the food hogs may take their choice
of selling at a reasonable profit or shut
ting up shop

Why l Am For
Woman Suffrage
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Because l have never heard good
reason why should not be for it,
Because woman is a soul, an individ-
ual, and a citizen as much as a man is.
Because responsibility ought to go
with citizenship.
Because woman Is as intelligent a.
a man. and naturally more decent
Because the wider womans outlook
and the more varied her interests the bet
ter wife and mother she is.
Because democracy is inefficient unless
IL is complete, and where one-half of the
cuZcnry are deprived Of their political
rights there can be but a half-dcmocracy.
Because women, having immediate
charge of the children, are more sensitive
to moral issues and social influences.
Because those women who do not want
the ballot need it the most.
Because all affairs, whether Of bust
ness religion, sports or politics, are rem
dered more wholesome when women par
ticipate in them
Because | don't like any organization
or institution that is for one sex alone.
such as mems clubs, colleges and lodges
or women's clubs colleges and lodges.
Because the notion of woman's inferi-
ority is hangover from medievalism.
Because my wife is my partner, and
not my possession.
Because women are more practical
than men, and not so adventurous.
Because women are more conservative
than men.
Because the instincts Of order. econ
omy and peace are stronger in women
than in men.
Because women couldn't possibly make
bigger fools Of themselves in politics
than men.
Because children need training in the
art Of politics and women should be pre-
pared 70 give it to them.
Because any class idea, even sex
class is baleful in the social order
Because politics tends to become dirty,
and the first thing woman does when
she enters any place is to clean it up
Because the coming Of women into
politics will open a great fountain Of
fresh. wholesome, moral sentiment.
Because l live in America, and not in
Europe or Asia.
And because ] I've in the twentieth
century and NOT the tenth.

The Kaiser Is Pleased,
Showing How Easy 1t
Is To Please the Kaiser

The German government has just fin
ished its seventh war loan campaign. The
number of contributors is not made
known, but the sum collected is more
than twelve billion marks.
In ordinary times this would exceed
three billion dollars in our money. Il
Is hard to tell just what the loan would
be worth If used now TO purchase sup
plies in the markets Of the world The
German mark has steadily declined in
value.
Il is probably no exaggeration TO say
that the loan is not worth more than
one and half billion dollars in real
money-if that.
The kaiser has just sent telegram Of
congratulation to his finance minister.
It goes to show the fortunes of VII
helm of the Hohenzolerns have fallen TO
the point where it does not take much to
please him.
He Is thankful for small favors.
II he can't make dent in the British
and French lines. he will grab little
Russian island and acclaim il a notable
Victory.
II he can't lay his hands on real money.
he will collect stage money from the
German people and announce it as a
financial triumph.

 m addition a war bonus of 100 per cent is fomised-doubling the wages which are to continue until the men are back at the port of embarkation.
 Should the ship meet disaster the men are to be transported home and the sum of S250 for officers and $1OO for men will be paid to all who lose their personal effects.
