1t is a matter of keen reproach
to the ranks of organized labor
that strikes and disturbances OF
all kinds should be rife just at
this time when the nation needs
that we should be one as we have
never been before. Doubtless
there are causes a-plenty for
strife-in ordinary conditions.
At present, and under the con-
ditions that face this country, it
would seem that, while the world
is called upon for sacrifices in all
the relations of life labor might
consent to bear a few injustices,
especially if to remedy those in
justices the safety of the country
is to be jeopardized. Everything
that takes from the perfect unity
OF this country initiates against
the great undertaking that we
have entered upon. Now, when
the country needs every ounce of
its strength is a poor time to set
tie labor disputes, especially
il the settlement involves conten-
ton and strife. If there is not
sufficient patriotism and loyalty
among the employers to grant
merited rights, then labor should
prove itself the better patriot in
bearing with injustice until our
country is safe from the dangers
that threaten.

SOLDIER AND SAILOR INSURANCE

The soldiers and sailors war insurance bill, the first step
N government insurance, and what is pronounced the most gen.
erOus effort on the part of any nation to care for the depend
ents of its fighting men, was passed in the lower house of con-
gress Thursday night, Sept. ID, by a vote of $40 to nothing.
The bill as passed by the house follows almost exactly the
lines laid down in the plan of army insurance worked out by
Secretary McAdoo and his cOadjutOrs and embodied in a draft
of a bill approved by President Wilson and presented to con-
gress for action.
The press of the country seems to think that the unanimous
approval given to the bill by the lower house of congress is
thoroughly representative of the feeling of the whole country.
Secretary McAdOo's comment was as follows:
"The unanimous passage by the house of representatives
of the bill for the compensation and insurance of our soldiers
and sailors is a distinct triumph for justice and humanity. 1t is
the most conspicuous and advanced step ever taken by any ma
ton for the protection of it's soldiers and sailors and their de,
pendents. The prompt passage of this bill by the senate will
satisfy the heart and conscience of uplnted America"

THE BURDEN OF OFFICIALDOM

Critics of Prussian militarism have said for years that every
German peasant carries a soldier on his back. If American Of
ficialdom continues to grow and public ownership is forced
upon us by the socialists every American toiler will carry an
official. Our burden will be heavier because our officials re-
celve more than German soldiers, and it will be firmly tied on
our shoulders by the solid vote of the official class.
When the government CONTROLS industries it kills initiative.
The exposure of a faulty formula for making a decorating COM
pound used In cartridge primers at one of our government
arsenals illustrates the tendency of government ownership.
Private manufacturers left our war department thirty years be-
hind in that branch of the munitions industry, and this is not
the first instance. Most of our soldiers went into the Spanish
war with black powder rifles, though Nobel and other inventors
had invented smokeless powders twenty years before.
In private life men profit by their own mistakes, but in gov
eminent circles the penalties of such mistakes are not visited
on those who make them. A government bureau tends to be-
come parasitic because pay is sure as long as officials stick to-
gether and conceal mistakes. This war will increase the num-
Der of government employees of all classes, and the problem of
the future will be to reduce their number after the war is over.
Our first business is to win this war. While it lasts socialists
Will try to fasten government ownership upon the country
and every step in that direction must be scrutnized with care

THE KAISER'S A

AS is the common fate of optimists, the pacifists who hoped
for definite developments from the popes peace proposals have
been disappointed. The reply of the central powers must COM
plete their disinusionment. If anything, the reply of the kaiser
represents a step backward in the negotiations. To those who
look at world affairs practically the reply, except in so far as
the Austrian note is concerned, has brought no disappointment.
An effort to turn the peace move to advantage In renewing
ne morale of the German people was expected, and the expec-
tation has been fulfilled. Nothing more has transpired. Like the
reply of President Wilson the kaiser's reply was directed to the
German people and not to the world. He and his advisers
knew that what was said in the note would not affect the atti-
tude of the allies or this country toward peace, and he rightly
felt perfectly safe in approaching the limit in flub-dub.
Thanks to the industry of a short-sighted opinion once hello
in this country. the kaiser formerly believed that our national
policy was properly described as "vacilating' AS long as he
entertained that view he found it expedient to trim" in order
that, if occasion arose, he might go in any of many directions.
He has not fully abandoned his policy in that respect, as the
present note plainly shows, but he has concluded that we mean
what we say" and has therefore been emboldened to go farther
in his efforts to placate the German people and win them back
to unsinted support of the war than he would have dared to
do had he thought we might accept his prOtestations in good
faith.
When President Wilson said, in effect, that the kaiser must
go, he stated the first condition upon which peace negotiations
approved by the allies and this country will be predicated. I'm
til the German people realize that fact and act upon it peace
talk" is idle. 1t may conceivably be reasonable, for insofar as
it helps the kaiser and the militarsts of Germany to maintain
or improve the morale of the people in support of the war it
gives aid to the enemy"
These conclusions are based upon the assumption that the
kaiser in his part of the note actually comedies disarmament.
There is more than a reasonable doubt on that point. The Ger
man note is manifestly the work of more than one hand. In
the first part Michaelis has faithfully set down the imperial
view, probably from shorthand notes, but his ambiguity be-
tween the first part of the note and that devoted to a manifestly
painful effort to weave between an outright acceptance of the
principle of disarmament and a non committal position, indi-
Gates that Michaelis felt that the terse reply of his master fell
short of the demands of the occasion and that he attempted to
elaborate the note by adding a few geenralities on his own ac-
count.
Under this Interpretation of the note the kaiser has not
changed, but remains the unbending protagOnist of war that he
has always been, despite his pretensions to the imam of peace"
role.-Exchange.

OUR PURPOSES

The purposes of the United States in this war are known
to the whole world, to every people to whom the truth has been
permitted to come. We seek no material advantage of anv
kind. We believe that the intolerable wrongs done in this war
by the furious and brutal power of the imperial German gov
eminent ought to be repaired, but not at the expense of the
sovereignty of any peOple-rather a vindication of the sover-
eighty both of those that are weak and those that are strong.
: Peace must be based upon justice and fairness and
the common rights of mankind-From President Wilson's Re-
ply to the Pope.

AMERICA TO RUSSIA IN "MOVIES'

There are now on the way to Russia fifty films showing
American resources and war-willngness These are intended
to convince Russia to the effect that we have plenty to fight
with and to feed the allies with. The great film was made I'M
der the direction of the American navy league by MI Griffihs,
the man who made the Birth of a Nation. 1t will be exhibited
in all the Russian cities and in army headquarters, wherever a
screen can be mounted. Fifty copies were made and all of
them are now on their way. That they will have a reassuring
and a reviving effect need not be pointed out. The moving pic
ture is just what the Russian masses need, for most of them
,annot read their own language. Among other things thai the
pictures will do is to convince Russians that the German ennis
saries have been lying to them about America. And when the
Russian finds out that he has been lied to the man who did the
lying will have to look out for himself.
Soon there will be more of the real article than there were

II OBJECT

"The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the
world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military
establishment controlled by an irresponsible government which,
having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded
to carry that plan out without regard either to the sacred obi
cations of treaty or the long established practices and long
cherished principles of international action and honor; which
chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and
suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law\or of mercy;
swept a whole continent within the tide of blood - not the
blood of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and
children also and of the helpless poor; and now stands baked
but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world. From
President Wilson's reply to the Pope.
What hurts in the case of Sweden is to be represented as a
German messenger boy. And that is what they get for having
a king who takes orders from a German spouse.

SOME LIBERTY LOAN ITEMS

Liberty Loan sales on the New York Stock Exchange for
the month of August totaled $~l9,595,OOO. The transaction in
Liberty Loan bonds exceeds the combined sales of all foreign
loans on the exchange by over a million and a half
Reports from all over the country indicate that banks and
bankers and bond houses, newspapers and other periodicals.,
and the Liberty Loan committees and other organizations and
individuals who were so periodically active and efficient in
promoting the sale of the first issue of the Liberty Loan bonds
are getting prepared and holding themselves in readiness to
make the second issue as great a success as the first.
Some financial writer's say that wonder was expressed that
$2,OOO,OOOOOO worth of Liberty bonds affected the money mar
ket of the country so little, but that the wonder has ceased, and
it is believed that the awakened credit of the United States can
absorb many billion dollars more without maxim" a ripple in
'he money market.
