Patriotism and Music.

Patriotic sentiment has been deeply
aroused throughout the country by the
controversy over the question whether
we should or should not as loyal Amer
leans pay to listen to the music Of the
German DR.. Muck, or Of the Austrian
Kreis!er.
Other Teutonic performers Of music
are feeling the effect of this sentiment,
which has thus suddenly come to focus
through the symphony orchestra affair.
The people are coming to a realization
that these men and women are alien
enemies. and that their earnings may
go for the benefit of the national enemy
1t is case of swift arousa1 to cbndi-
tion which has been good-naturedly ac-
which will become impossible with in
creasing bitterness of public sentiment
against the enemy. as casualty lists come
in, and thousands of American homes
mourn their dead.
No American musician, however skill
ed or artistic, would be permitted to per-
form in Germany or Austria with an or
ganization composed Of American or
English or French performers. In all
likelihood any American musician caught
there by the war has been interned, as
a potential spy requiring strict watch
ing
Here the musical artists of German
and Austrian allegiance have been al
lowed to go free and have been support
ed by the American public. Now the
question has come whether this should
continue. Whatever the government may
do in the matter Of safeguarding itself
against the possible mischievous activity
of musician spies, the public has, Of
course, the right to refuse patronage to
performers who, though supreme in their
art, are nevertheless national enemies at
heart
Patriotism will rise above love of
music as fast as the public realizes that
we are engaged in real war and that
the national life is at stake.

Premier Lenine,

Nicholas Lenine as premier Of the
new Russian government at Petrograd
does not impress the world as q guar.
antee for stability. He first appeared
in the revolution of last spring as a
radical demanding immediate peace with
Germany and the institution Of an OK
treme form Of state socialism. He was
denounced by the heads Of the pro-
visional government and was In virtual
exile for a time. His arrest was re-
peatedly reported, but he evaded i'm
prisonmcnt, and was at one time active
in Finland and later appeared at the
Stockholm conference as representing
Russia. He is now at the head Of the
new administration, notwithstanding tho
fact that the charge has never been
quieted that he was corrupted with Ger
man influences and funds for the very
purpose of fomenting counter revolu.
ton in German interests. Indeed, ho
appeared in Russia from Germany at
the time of the revolution. Should he
maintain himself as premier q move
ment for immediate peace between Rus
sis and Germany may be expected. This,
however, does not necessarily signify
that such peace will be accepted by
the Russian people. The Russian revo-
luton is proceeding apace in the way
Of the great revolt in France in 1889.

Preserved Food Reports.

Information Of value to the authori-
ties in charge Of food conservation will
be rendered if every housewife in
Washington who during the summer
and autumn preserved fruits or vege-
tables for winter use, will fill out the
blank which was printed in yesterdays
Star and which will be reprinted here
after. In this form it is asked how
many quarts Of vegetables or fruit were
canned or preserved or dried and by
what method, and whether this produce
came from the market or from personal
gardens, and finally whether the individ-
ual intends to have a garden next year.
In this way, if the information is gen
orally returned, line can be obtained

wider or more carefully sorted Informs
tion ON that subject. He was protec-
zionist, and when he addressed the
House it was from knowledge and con.
viction. His loss, with tariff revision
looming in the near distance, was OF
national moment, and so recognized.
Naturally, the republicans Of the dis
trict in making their nomination for
the vacancy selected pronounced pro-
tectionist. Such choice was required
by local interests. Manufacturing is
conducted on an extensive scale, and
workers in plants of that kind are nu-
merous.
The republican nominee won by a
large majqrity-larger even than that
thrown last year for Mr.. Hill.
The meaning of the figures probably is,
not that the new man is stronger than
was the old, but that. with the tariff
taking on increased importance as the
result of the war, it is advisable for Sec
tions interested in protection to have
in Congress-in both houses-men who
not only understand the subject, but who
when voting time comes may be relied
upon to take ground firmly and aggres-
sively for the policy to which the whole
country owes so much.
The tariff is the coming topic. When
the war is over, new customs arrange
ments will be necessary in every COM
mercial quarter Of the globe. With US
they will be imperative, and will involve
the whole question Of our production
and distribution as respects both for
eign and domestic markets. No tariff
revision in our history will compare for
and detail with that which
Congress will be called upon to make
once war destruction ends and peace re-
construction begins. It will 60 to the

Labor and the War.

In an address delivered in Philadel-
phia recently, at the national confer
ence on financing the war. A. c. Miller,
. member of the Federal Reserve Board,
said:
: II have it on competent authority
that it takes the labor of four men.
working in industries of one kind or
another producing military and other
!. needed supplies, to maintain one sol
! lier at the front. This means that an
American Army of 1,o00O00 men will
require the output of 100000 men,
: working in factory. field and foundry.
] also have it on competent authority
that the munitions, provisions and other
maintenance that the armies and civil
ian populations Of our allies in Europe
must have from US will require the out
put of more than l0oo0,000 laborers
working in this country"
Consider this in connection with the
known situation in the country.
The men who are to do the fighting
are under orders. They are biddable.
Many are in environments getting ready
for team work-hardening for the strain
Of march and battle. Others will soon
be there to take up similar duties. Au-
thority exists for increasing the force
rs developments may demand. The
problem as to the fighting men is in the
way of satisfactory solution.
But how is it as to the men who are
{ to support the fighting men, They are
at present not biddable. On the con-
trary, they are unorganized or, where
organized, organized in groups which
make teamwork impossible, and even
work itself impossible unless directed
by themselves. In spots national spirit
group for higher wages. There, is the
threat of a strike by another group for
higher wages. Yonder, is turmoil about
hours of labor and other conditions of
its performance.
The result of all this is confusion and
uncertainty. Sentiment in business cir
eles reflects il Unless there is a change,
It may affect sentiment in the canton
ments. Men in arms if given full as
sufanee of support when they reach the
firing lines will prepare the more speed
ily and thoroughly than if left in doubt
about conditions for support after they
have gone to the front.
Labor is not disloyal. 1t is literally
represented in the eantonments, and in
battle will do its part. But, as yet, it
seems in some localities not to have
Srasped the full measure of what is nee
essary behind battle lines. It's part there
h even more important than in battle
action. In fact. its part is indispensable.
II not performed with will and in a
spirit Of national interest-teamwork
everywhere, and hard work to match
the consequences will be disastrous to all.
What should be donei How may the
difficulty be removedi By some means
it must be removed. What difficulty ex-
listed in capitalistic circles about the two
liberty loans was removed by men Of
eminence m public addresses. Would
those means be eficacious as applied to
labor circles about labor's duties at this
timef They might be tried.

accused Of = iax administration Of af-

accused Of la1 administration OF af-
fairs leading up to the tragedy, and then
Of Indifference or helplessness when the
storm broke. Neither the mayor nor
the police showed any control Of the
situation. Riot wrought its terrible work
unhindered, and even encouraged in
some places.
Naturally, as soon as order was re-
stored the people Of the town began
taking a look around for remedy. They
could see plainly that remedy was i'm
perative. Otherwise, the town would be
doomed. Its reputation everywhere had
been tarnished, and further growth
would be impossible unless assurances
could be and were given of security for
life and property.
A commission form Of government
was decided upon as the best means of
banishing machine politics from influ-
ence in the conduct of the towns busi-
ness Politics had been too vocal and
powerful. As in many other munich
palities, men in Office through political
agencies considered those agencies more
than they did the vital interests of the
people. Politicians controlled officials,
and officials controlled the town.
It is now up to the commission form
Of government to make good. The task
is not an easy one. Under the old order,
machine politics, labor difficulties, race
clashes and the drink traffic contributed
to the embarrassments. Machine poll
tics has now been eliminated. The evils
Of the drink traffic have been reduced
by the closing of number of saloons
since the July horror occurred. But
the labor difficulties remain, and as
both white and colored laborers are still
numerous in the community renewal
of race troubles may take place unless
great care is taken
It is encouraging, however, to see East
ST. Louis making this effort, and wishes
for its success will everywhere be awak-
encd. The country must put down the |
mob, or the mob will put down the coun
try.
