HELPING US OUT

These are delightful times for the
editor. During most seasons of the
year he has to make a faint show at
labor, but nowadays. dozens of peop-
lie throughout the country are doing
their utmost to make his work light
as a Leghorn pin-feather. Why,
there was furnished us by mail this
morning enough reading matter for
publication to fill the Tribune to the
caves until December, 1921.
Among the good hearted folk eager
to help us was Hon. McAdoo with
3S columns of news about the Liber-
ty Loan; the Special Committee on
National Defense of the American
Railway Association with eight hogs
heads of bilge-water concerning their
activities: the Washington Indust-
rial Association, with considerable
anti-labor hogwash; the United
States Food Administration, the Civ
il Service Department, the Forest
Service, the L. S. Navy Publicity
Bureau, and a few score other gov
eminent departments; and logging
congresses, and tuberculosis confer
ences. and Sunday School meetings,
and the Red Cross, and the Y. Nj. {.
A.. and dozen others.
Provided the mails are working
on schedule time, any herring can
become an editor. Bless the free
space grabbers!

of his country as Washington stands
in ours. OF him it was said by Mot
ley, the historian, "When he died, the
little children cried in the streets"
The great and powerful United
States arrayed against Germany is
in no such condition as was the Meth
erlands Confederacy arrayed against
the power of Spain, yet the Prince
of Oranges appeal to the Dutch peo-
pie to give financial support to the
cause of liberty possesses q timely in
terest when the United States Gov
eminent is asking the American
people to give their financial support
to their government in this war for
liberty in the world.
The Prince of Orange in his ad-
dress to the inhabitants of the Meth
erlands used these words:
LET not a sum of gold be so dear
to you, that for it's sake you will sac
rifice your lives, your wives, your
children, and all your descendants.
to the latest generations; that you
will bring sin and shame upon your
selves, and destruction upon us who
have striven so heartily to assist you.
Think what scorn you will incur from
foreign nations, what a crime you
will commit against the Lord God,
what bloody yoke ye Will impose
forever upon yourselves and your
children if you now seek for subter-
fuges; if you now prevent us from
taking the field with the troops which
we have enlisted. On the other hand,
what inexpressible benefits you will
confer on your country, if you now
help us to rescue that fatherland
from the power of our enemies"

The present particular aim of the
masters of Germany is to deceive all
those who throughout the world stand
for the rights of peoples and the self
government of nations; for they see
what immense strength the forces of
Justice and of liberalism are gathering
out of this war.
The sinister intrigue is being no less
actively conducted in this country than

rope to which the agents and dupes of
the imperial German government can
get access.

The great fact that stands out above

and that with us rests the choice to
break through all these hypocrisles and
patent cheats and masks of brute force
and help set the world free, or else
stand aside and let 1t be dominated a

constituted masters. by the nation
which can maintain the biggest armies
and the most irresistible armaments-
a power to which the world has af-

which political freedom must wither

For us there is but one choice. We
