WAR POWER CONSTITUTIONAL

Drastic legislation is being enact
ed by congress to enable the country
to use its resources in the best man
ner possible for self-defense.
While war RACES the rights which
in peace are sacred must give way to
the higher right of the country to pro-
lection from it's enemies, domestic and
foreign.
The constitutional war powers of
congress include everything consider
ed necessary or advisable for the pre-
servation of the nation. While the
war powers of congress and the Pres
ident are not specifically defined in
the constitution, they must include
everything necessary to prevent the de-
struction of the government. The
constitution does not tie the hands Of
the government in any way when i
is engaged in a struggle for it's own
existence.

created in the same psychological
manner. II the people do not spend
money now, we will soon have hard
times again, and if in addition to high
taxation, which actually deprives peo-
pie of the money to spend we have
intimidation. alarmist statements
about the necessity OF extreme econo-
my, which prevent people from spend
ing the money that they have, we will
soon have a financial crisis in the
country. e]a5L .... *
" We cannot burn the candle at both
ends and long have the candle.
You cannot take away from the pur-
chasing activity of the community
first the money that is removed by
taxation, and, second, the money that
is boarded through fear, and have
anything left to sustain the business
of the country.
AS matter of plain fact, the peo-
pie who can spend should continue to
spend. The business of the country
should go on as far as possible as
usual. Every man should be kept in
his proper and profitable employment
except those that are actually needed
and enlisted for the defense of the
nation. 5L

CROPS ADAPTED TO NEW BREAK.
ING.

(From the U. S. Department Of Agri-
cultures News Letter the 9th inst.)
The crops that are known to do best
on new breaking in the Great Plain
and prairie regions generally are flax
corn, sorghum, (kafir, milo, sorgo OF
sweet sorghum, broom su'corn, and
beans. f''"s'T IL
Sorghum-The sorghum (kafir, milo
sorgo or sweet sorghum) should be
used extensively in the Great Plains
from Nebraska y southwark. These
crops are better adapted than corn tc
districts where the rainfall is low
Where corn often fails on account OF
drought, the sorghums may make a
fair crop. The acreage Of sorghum
can be largely increased on new
breaking, where old ground is already
taken for other crops, at compare
lively small cost.

PRESIDENT THANKS CARDINAL
GIBBONS.

On the 18th inst. President Wilson
sent the following letter to Cardinal
Gibbons:
''My Dear Cardinal Gibbons: The
demands on my time incident to the
arrival and entertainment of the for
eign commissions now in Washington
have delayed my replying to you
gracious letter. | am sure you Will
understand and I beg that you will
pardon the delay.
aThe very remarkable resolutions
unanimously adopted by the archbish-
ops of the United States at their an
nual melting in the Catholic university
S on April IS last, a copy of which you
were kind enough to send me, warns
my heart and makes me very proud
indeed that men of such large intiu-
ence should act in so large a sense Of
patriotism and so admirable a spirit
of devotion to our common country.
i"Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"
On the second Sunday Of last month
the writer enjoyed the privilege o.
hearing Cardinal Gibbons deliver q
sermon in which he dwelt upon the
words of Jesus when he told the Jews,
Render to Caesar the things that are
Caesars and to God the things that are
Gods.
In kind, sweet words the Cardinal
took the position that it was the duty
of every Catholic, who was a citizen
of this country, to render unto the
President their loyal support.

THE GOVERNOR VETOS PARTISAN
LEGISLATION.

Governor Harding's veto of the mea-
sures passed by the last legislature
to repeal the non-partisan judiciary
law and restore the circle to the Of
fetal ballot, is commendable.
The office of judge should be as
far removed as possible from the polit-
ical arena. There should be no polit-
ical ties between the judiciary and
political parties.
The circle at the top of ballot
is an insult to intelligence, device of
political machines. The . governor
knocked the rim off the circle. No
regrets.

THE IRISH TO BE OFFERED HOME
RULE

Next Monday Premier Lloyd-George
will submit to the House of Commons
a plan for Irish home rule.
England's treatment of Ireland for
hundreds Of years has been unjust,
and now, when the life of Great Brit
ain is hanging in an uncertain balance,
the wrongs Of the past should be
righted, as far as possible, and proper
assurances given for the future.
If England can change Ireland from
a sullen neighbor into friendly COM
panion, the change will do more to
win the war against the Kaiser than
anything else that has happened since
the war commenced. Such change
would give the allies new army OF
a million first class soldiers for i'm
mediate service on the firing lines in
France.

DANGERS OF sPAsMODHC ECON

DANGERS OF SPASMODIIC ECON.
y 9'oGl OMY. q
Ftp In a>letter to the New York Ameri-
can, Mr.. William Randolph Hearst
takes strong stand against spasmod-
ic economy His suggestions are
worth serious thought and encourage
the idea Of cultivating optimism in
stead of crushing ourselves with the
dire results of calamity caused by our
own pessimism. The following is
quoted from the letter:
A man with an ounce of intelligence
an inch of foresight, can see that if the
people who have the money to spend
stop buying at the stores, the stores
will fail and 60 into bankruptcy, hun
-dreds of employees will be discharged
the orders to the factories will be
discontinued, the factories, except
those which are supplying government
orders, will be closed up and thous-
ands of their employees will be dis
charged.
The depression is already felt. The
stores are already encountering the
effect of this dread of high taxation
and this preachment of false economy.
How many thousands, how many
millions, of the people in this country
are dependent upon the liberal spend
ing of the well-to-do elements of the
community?
How many thousands of people
would be deprived of their income,
deprived of their livelihood, if that
liberal spending by the people who
have the means to spend is suddenly
ended?
Food economy is all right and nee
essary. Food is scarce. We are send
ing enormous quantities of food
abroad which is daily making food
scarcer 1t is necessary that there
should be systematic regulation and
restriction of food supplies. That is
government function, and should be
exercised by the agricultural depart
ment under sufficient powers reposed
in it by congress.
But this alarmist cry of extreme
economy, this appeal to save every
where and spend nowhere, is nothing
less than a demand that the country
proceed to do the very thing which
creates depression and panic.
Not long ago President Wilson re-
ferring to the depression from which
the country has emerged, said that the
hard times were psychological. A
great many people laughed at Mr.. Viii
sons statement, but the fact never
theless is that the hard times were
largely psychological. What Mr.. Will
son meant was that the people had
money to spend, but were afraid to
spend it, and because they were afraid
to spend it, and did not spend it, there
was not sufficient business and not
sufficient prosperity.
If the late depression was psyche
logical, another depression can be

MCLELLAN,s ONE SERVICE,

While history has agreed that
George B. Mcclellan hesitated longer
than was necessary, history also
agreed that it was extremely fortu-
nate that he did hesitate.
If Mcclellan had listened to the
first hue and cry "On to Richmond"
the army of the Potomac might not
have been in at the victory at Apo
mattox. 1t was because Mcclellan
held back and trained his army that
Grant took the army to victory.
For weeks and months the restless
north demanded action. President
Lincoln was never more wearied dur
ing the war than he was when the
army of the Potomac was lying in
front of Washington doing apparent
ly nothing. Horace Greeley led the
cry ION to Richmond" But McClel-
Ian said the army was not ready to
fight, and Lincoln stood by McClel-.
Ian. 1t was the most trying time of
There are always men to shout "On
to Richmond" Nobody is so unpopu-
lar in the early stages of war as
the man who recalls Poor Richards
maxim ''the more haste the less
speed" The very men who demand
that we listen to the men who know,
are first to denounce the military
authorities when the military author
tiles advise delay. 81
1t was not three months ago that
the civilian was told rather bruspue-
ly to listen to the army and navy Of
ficers who knew. And yet the mat
ter for decision was one Of national
policy, on which every farmer and
laborer was as much privileged to
have an opinion as the soldier. But
now when itis not matter of policy
at all but matter of effective war,
the army and navy officers are round
ly denounced because they urge us to
wait until we are ready.
There may be some reason why an
expeditionary force should be sent to
Europe at once, although nobody can
explain what 100000 Americans would
do there, when England has 100000
trained soldiers who have not been
sent across the channel. Nor can
anybody explain why we should use
the boats to carry the 100000 Ameri-
cans and their supplies when the
real threat of the war is at the food
supply of England.
But these reasons, whatever they |
may be have been considered. by the
authorities, and no military
has yet been quoted in favor
Of such expeditionary force, while it
is given out from Washington that
the army staff is unanimously oppos-
ed to sending any force abroad until
we have trained and efficient force
to send The expeditionary force
is merely another con to

asm inspired by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Let us once for all realize that his

B. Mcclellan, that he held the army
