Tote EN- Yourself"

GIT HE merchants of Richmond, Va, have
l done brave service to the need for war
economy. BY adroitly drafting that good old
Saxon word tote, they have injected homcly
vigor into campaign which needs energz-
ing" says the Chicago Herald.
We accept the compliment on behalf of
our merchants, and we promise our contem-
porary that our people will heed the njunc-
ton. or course, We do not expect them to
tote barrels of -four home or otherwise burden
themselves, but they will readily see the
economy OF carrying away from our stores
the smaller packages, reducing the volume
OF the expensive and wasteful delivery SER
yics.
Toting our bundles home is only one mani
festation of Richmond's willingness, yes
eagerness, to contribute what it NAV to the
countrys needs. Witness our Liberty bond
investments, our Red Cross subscriptions and
our endless garden plots. We have turned
our back on no appeal which our govern
ment has made. and we shall turn our back
upon none. -. t..

What the Kaiser Yields

HE Kaiser. in ordering bill to be passed
in the Prussian Diet granting equal man
. mood suffrage TO the people of Prussia, has
for the first time in his career bent before
tho storm Of democracy that is now sweeping
over the world. That he has yielded any
thing Of value depends on what sort of a
law is passed and how it is executed If
Prussia is given an honest equal manhood
suffrage law, it should very materially reduce
the power Of the Junkers in the Reichstag:
1t should make the ministry responsible to
the Reichstag and not to the crown It
should give the Reichstag firm grasp of the
whip hand in voting war credits. The power
to vote war credits is the only lash the Reich
stag now has with which to threaten the
Kaiser and the military autocracy, except
revolution.
What effect the Kaiser's grant will have
upon the war is a matter of pure speculation.
There arc a score of great factors in deter
mining the course and end of the war But
whether the Kaiser and the mon around him
arc honest or not in yielding. one thing is
certain. the war has shivered the armor of
German absolutism. The Kaiser will never
be allowed like his ancestor, Frederick Will
nam ~, in 1S4S, to break his word All
prc'ension of absolutsm in this world of
men has been punctured The grace of God
| in human crown has been sent to limbo

But from reports 1t appears that the govern
ment has called some of the doctors to train
without having made provision for redis-
tribution Of the profession so as to safeguard
tho public health. There is a sufficient
number OF doctors for both homo and mill
tary services, and every man in the profession
should at once be registered by the govern

will learn whom and where to take and whom
and where not to take. and no community

On Probation

HERBERT HOOVER. in response to a
letter of inquiry from Senator Nelson.
assures the latter that the Federal govern
ment has no intention Of taking over imme-
diately the country's industries when the
food control bill is enacted This action
will depend on the conduct of said industries.
If they comply with the letter and spirit of
the law, there will be no necessity for taking
that step to protect the public from greed.
The purpose of the pending legislation is not
to eliminate private control, but to so regu-
late it's power to prevent exploitation of
the public. In other words. big and little
business alike having to do with foodstuffs
distribution will be put on good behavior
in default Of which they will be dealt with.
