patriotism and gumption had been
sufficient to advise Russian Socialists
to stick with the allies and denounce
the separate peace which Germany is
striving for SO earnestly. Socialists
do not favor this wars that it ?
Well, who does flavor this war" in
the sense of desiring it? Nobody fa-
vored it until we went to war, but
now it is too late to pirate about mot
favoring" it. 1t is the duty Of citi-
zens to fight for the defense of the
country. And such irrelevant, insin-
cere, and mischievous talk as these
Socialists are making is the very
root and life of disloyalty and trea-
son.
A little more talk of that impu-
dent sort may lead somebody to take
strong measures to remind them Of
their duty as citizens, though un-
worthy ones.

Our New Colonel

The Hon. Augustus Peabody Gard
ner has exchanged the task of talk
ing in Congress for that Of action in
the field of war, civilian garb for the
army uniform, and has become more
honorable than he was before by
dropping the prefix of officeholders
and statesmen for that Of colonel.
In this instance practice has followed
precept, and Gardner proves the ex-
ception to the rule that those who
talk most eloquently about the duty
Of fighting prefer not to fight them
selves.
Gardner has been useful in Con-
Fress as a man of one idea, and that
idea the important one Of prepared
ness. He was boring sometimes, and
they even made a rhyme about
sWhen Gussie Goes a Gardnering." !"
But events have made him a true
prophet, and now he lays down his
work in Congress and goes to do his
bit. He is already soldier, serving
in the Spanish war, and when he
reaches the French front the enemy
will find him as worthy an antagonist
as his opponents in Congress had al
ready discovered him to be.

Our Socialist Enemies

In time of war he who gives aid or
comfort to the enemy is an enemy
by implication and construction; the
only thing which stands in the way
of recognizing his actual enemy
quality is his own denial, and we
know how much that is worth.
At the present exigent moment a
knot of American Socialists are
working for Germany just as much
as if they wore the Kaiser's uniform
and fought in the field. Their action
is outrageous and, we believe, trea-
sonable. Men are sometimes placed
under restraint for doing less mis-
chief than is now done by the "Emer-
geney Committee" of the national
executive committee of the Ameri-
can Socialist party, which is meeting
in Chicago. There are many nests
of disloyslty in chat city; the city
hall has had a fumigation, but the
pro-German influence is acrid, per-
sistent, and poisonous beyond bear
ing.
The Emergency Committee" has
issued a statement requesting
Charles Edward Russell to decline
to serve, at the Presidents appoint
ment. on the American war mission
to Russia. and in the same breath
Mr.. Russell is "repudiated as repre-
senting American Socialists as a
whole" We believe he is no pro-
German, If that is what they mean.
This committee asserts that the So
ciaiist party as a whole does not
favor this war, and declines to be
snided hy those Of its leaders whose

How Ford Was Fooled

Lamar's revelations bring to light
many missing bits of the puzzle as to
what really went on in 1915. He told
the other day of the way in which
men now charged as his sccomplices
or Rintelen's gained the ear of the
wealthy and once ingenious magnate
who shares his name with the pre-
vailing make of motor car.
As a man of open mind, Henry
Ford was Intellectually accessible to
trespassers, nuisances, and impos.
tors. The hospitality Of that open,
not to say unlatched, mind Of his was
abused by as genuine a set Of
pacifsts as ever clutched a reichs-
mark, if the Lamar testimony be
true. This explanation suits US, for
it puts Mr.. Ford in the light Of one
rather sinned against than shining.
Unless influenced by shrewd and
magnetic schemers. he would never
have departed so far from his nat
ural benevolence as to give even in
direct help to the German cause.
Since he has been undeceived Mr..
Ford has behaved handsomely, and
like a patriot. We think no better Of
his wits, but do homage to the force
Of character by which he bears the
burden Of his acknowledged mistake
with dignity.

Paid For Music With Pneumonia
Harry T: Burleigh, Awarded Third Spingarn
Medal for Cultural Achievement By Member
of Colored Race, Wins Fame AS Composer.

He was only a small. hungry looking,
ill-clad negro boy and did not for a
moment expect to be admitted into the
splendidly furnished drawing room.
where fashionably gowned women and
sedate men were gathered to hear
Rafael Joseffy. the great composer. play.
but he did want to hear. IL possible. a
few stray notes by the great master.
and so he got as close TO the big draw
ing room window as he dared approach
and stood >Shivering in the snow, his
ears strained to catch every note that
might escape to the outside.
1t was bitter cold day but he was
oblivious to II. All he knew was that
within a few feet Of him, separated from
him only by the window, was a great
musician and that music was being
made such as he had never before
dreamed Of and which to him was
sweeter than the imagined chanting of
angels. Not until the last note had
hoated out and become a memory only
did the boy realize that he was half
frozen. As a result he hovered close to
deaths door for long days and nights
with pneumonia but he heard always
the sweet melodies ringing in his ears,
and had no regrets.
Burlelgh Awarded Medal
The boy was Harry T. Burleigh, now
the well-known composer. who today Is
the proud possessor Of the third Spin
garn Medal which is awarded annually
to the man or woman Of African descent
who has made the highest achievement
during the preceding year In any field
OF elevated human endeavor. He had a
far-away look in his dark eyes. as
though he was thinking Of the shivering
little outcast last night. at First Con-
gregational Church when Senator Wes-
ley L. Jones handed him the medal Of
gold which meant that the committee
of award had singled him out for this
great honor.
Burleigh's songs, which won him
the coveted honor, have been sung
in the last three years by artists
whose names virtually constitute to-
days who's Who in musical Amer
lea. His song, Deep River" prob
ably has been heard on the concert
stage more times this year than the
work of any other contemporary

FOOD PRICE BOOSTERS
FACING PROSECUTION
Attorney General Has Evidence
Considered Sufficient Basis.

Unless Congress speeds action for
the appointment of a food dictator in
the United States and for the giving
of complete control of the food situa-
tion to the Government. a number OF
food dealers may be hailed before the
bar of justice to answer for high
prices.
Attorney General Gregory Is con-
vinced that George W. Anderson and
Robert w. Childs, two OF his special
assistants, have sufficient evidence in
some cases of food price-raising for
indictments.
In the meantime Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston is doing his utmost
to assure producers that price-fixing
will not ruin them, but rather protect
them from Improbable prices az well
as protect the consuming public from
unreasonably high prices.
Secretary Houston reiterates that
there is to be no sweeping use Of
price-hxing powers, but that these
powers are to be used only in specific
cases.
Action by the Department of Jus
tIce against alleged food manipulators
must be based on a showing of com
bination in restraint OF trade.
The Investigations of Mr.. Childs
have been confined largely to grain
and produce exchanges in the West
with particular reference TO trading
in futures.
Mr.. Anderson's Investigations have
been along similar lines in the East.

Handling War News

The American public got its first
news Of the presence of American
fighting ships IN the submarine zone
bv way Of an official announcement
from London authorities. This is q
situation much like that which OBJ
tanned in England during the early
days of the war, when English men
and women learned British war
news from American papers and
American letters. The London off
cials learned better later, and author
ized the publication Of news along
sensible lines.
The so-called censorship bureau Of
our Government is in a most awk-
ward position. With the public given
to understand that it has certain
duties, it is really without authority
TO do what the public expects.
The Times suggests that since the
British mission is here to provide US
with information that will prevent our
making the mistakes that England
made, the advice of Mr.. Geoffrey But
Ter be sought as to the handling of
war news. Mr.. Butler knows the
wrong methods which were first in
vogue, methods astonishingly paral-
leled at present here, and he also
knows the improved methods which
resulted from experience. His ad-
vice might prove useful and profit
able.
Under any conditions, the Ameri-
can public is not likely to feel very
keen relish for methods which result
in the purveying of American news
By British officials.
