WHAT IS PATRIOTISM?

Does patriotism mean simply to
hang a flag out in front of our
place of business?
Or does it mean, in addition,
that we should go to the depot to
see the soldier boys off to train
ing camps, or what in reality does
it mean?
= Patriotism means that every
sane person should practice the
golden rule as much as possible,
while this terrible war is in prog
ress.
1t means that there is no room
nor justification for spectators
Of any kind. and this does not
mean that every legitimate busi-
ness should not go ahead and
make a reasonable profit on all
it's dealings with the public.
There is a need, more than ever
before for business that is content
to divide its profit and losses with
the public. and there is no need
nor demand for any business that
takes only selfish view Of the sit
uation and proceeds to take aG-
vantage for it's own personal ben
eft.
The man or business that would
hold up the public in this hour OF
trouble and make it pay unusual
and unreasonable prices is friend
of the kaiser, and good friend
at that. The speculator and
trader for unreasonable profits
should be kicked down and out
wherever found.
Patriotism must be practiced al
home and in our dealings with
the public. as well as in the field.

CANE GROWERS PAUSE.

A special from New Orleans on
Friday was as follows:
"The executive committee of
American Cane Growers Associa-
ton. which now represents every
branch of the Louisiana sugar in
dustry, held another all-after-
noon meeting Thursday. The i'm
portant business before it was tho
appeal of Herbert Hoover. Tnited
States food administrator. to con-
sent to a price for raw sugars
based on 7.25 cents pound,
after the refiner's margin and
other charges are deducted. Fl.
n. Pharr, chairman and president,
presided, with Joe B. Chaffee, sec
retary The various branches Of
the industry presented their argu-
ments, mostly showing that there
was little prospect for profit
equal to that of the wealthy re-
fineries with the transaction with
the government but at the same
time expressing the desire to be
as patriotic as the refners and ex-
pectation Of as fair treatment. In
stead of taking definite action,
views were gathered to be laid
before the sugar committee ap-
pointed by the conference called
by John M. Parker, food admin
istrator for Louisiana. Of which
E. F. Dickinson is chairman. The
committee probably will get to-
gether Friday. 1t will seek to
harmonic the various shades of
opinion in single and unanimous
reply. The crucial time in the
years operations is approaching
and the planters would prefer
not to be absent during the Pc
riod vital in production, but sew
eral of the leaders probably will
consent to make the sacrifice
should the federal administration
decide it imperative for Louisi-
ana committee to come to Wash
ington to conduct negotiations
and close the deal"

WHAT LIVESTOCK TO KEEP.

Owing to the high prices Of
feeding stuffs the question, what
winter, is already being askedi
livestock shall I keep over the
First. keep all females or breed
ing stock that will produce young.
Second, keep all young, growing
stock if there is enough suitable
feed for carrying the along, max
ing some growth. If any must be
sold let it be the improbable
COWS and older steers, the old
mules and the larger hogs. We
should not reduce our breeding
stock. All mares, cows, sows and
ewes that will produce young
should be kept and bred to the
best males possible. But we can
not afford to winter the unprof-
liable animals. 1t is all right to
talk about the shortage of live
stock and their high prices, but
they are not yet as high as feed
ing stuffs and only the best ami
mails economically fed on feeds
unsuitable for human food, can
be proftably kept. An inferior
animal fed on human food grains
is an economic waste. both to the
owner and to the nation. The

It appears to us that one of the
most important duties Of the food
commission is to ascertain if it is
true that people in the United
States have to pay nearly twice
as much for foodstuff as is paid
for it in Europe. after it has been
exported from this country to
that, and il they find the report
correct, to stop this great injus-
tice to their own people. The
citizens are certainly entitled to
this protection by the govern
ment. Charity should at least
begin at home.-Leader.

BRITISH STEAM ROLLER
STARTING ON DOWN
GRADE.

HLondon, Oct. 11.-Mayor Gen
eral Frederick B. Maurice, chief
director of military operations at
| h etwar office, in his weekly talk
today with hte Associa ted Press
after an optimistic review Of the
last weeks work on the British
front in Flanders, said:
"We have every right to be
confident when we see our men
have done. But the fighting j
hard and we do not think that
the present series of battles in
Flanders is going to end the war.
There is a great deal more hard
fighting before us. | would say
that the Importance of getting the
American troops here as quickly
as possible, and in the greatest
possible numbers, has not been
diminished.
"The word steam roller which
was so often used ip the early
days of the war in connection
with the Russian army, is exactly
the right word to characterize the
British advance in Flanders. 1t
is an advance not rapid, but in
sistent, irresistible. It goes up
hill very slowly, but now it is go
ing downhill and battles are fol
lowing each other more and more
rapidly.
Il want to say a word about
e work which has been done
behind our lines in preparing for
these battles. / don t wish to
minimize the U-boat threat, but
| / can truthfully say that nothing
/ the U-boats have done has de
Ilayed for a single hour our work
lin France; it has not delayed q
Isingle round of ammunition or a
ration for the soldiers. The Brit
ish army was never better fed or
supplied than today.
"The daily imports of British
war material into France last
January averaged 11.4 tons per
houfg in September they had Gn-
crease ito 24.5. The number of
broAd ganged trains run-daily in
| the war zone with British war
material numbered 179 in Mar
259 in September. The weekly
tonnage on marrow gauge lines in
March was 25.000, in September
$4,000. The weekly average Of
war materials on the canals iii
the British war zone was 81, 900
tons in March, $4,000 tons in
September"
Commenting ON the German re-
port that the. British had lost a
half million men in the present
series of battles, General Maurice.
said:
"The figures are grotesque.
We have not had that many men
engaged. As I have already told
yon, our casualties have been very
light and the German casualties
are known to have been Is per
cent greater than ours.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1917-10-13

The Germans who have been
here for years, coming over to es-
|cape conscription. and who are
now shouting for the fatherland,
should pause to consider if their
wish is granted and Germany tri-
umphs, that same fatherland will
need a largely increased army,
and will at once round up these
shouting expatriated patriots.
That IS : thought which may give
them pause. Baltimore American

swered, without hesitation, BY help
ing sustain the morale of the French
army
The American Red Cross is &C
complishing this purpose now in va
rious ways under the direction of a
member of General Pershing's staff
Major Grayson NJ. p. Murphy, a
leader whom / found endowed with
patience, courage, modesty, tact,
vision and personal magnetism
altogether worthy of the great con-
fidence in which he is held by both
the French and the Americans in
France.
When l was in the trenches
north of Rheims, / found French
soldiers twice wounded in action,
twice discharged from hospitals and
again at the front, where they were
facing cold hunger, monotony, dis
ease and shell fire "a hours a day.
They are still withstanding the on
s'aught of Prussianism against civ
ilization in lines of defense in which,
but for them, unprepared American
troops would have to be sacrificed.
THE American Red Cross is now
helping to sustain the morale of
those gallant troops of France by
establishing canteens all along the
front and at junction points in the
lines of communication SO that the
cold, hungry, weary, dirty and YER
min-covered soldiers from the front
can find warm, clean and bright
places in which to take baths, have
their clothes cleaned and sterilized,
get wholesome meals and clean cots,
and be cheered on their way by
American women.
1.-THE need of the American Red
Cross in France is more than we can
imagine at this distance. When I
was in Paris few weeks ago, I saw
the records of surgical dressings we
had just supplied to 1860 hospitals.
found the work of distribution
done quickly and efficiently, and yet
it was not possible to keep up with
the most urgent demands.
when I saw one French soldier
so badly wounded that a whole case
of dressings was needed to save his
life, I thought that If he could stand
his part of 1t we could at least pack
the case for him.

winter. We cannot possibly send
