No Time for copperheads

The American people are reluctant
to place any curb on free press and
free speech, and in peace times have
stood for much that would have been
tolerated in no other nation on earth,
but, now the country is at war in a
righteous cause and has no fear of
the foreign enemy, but it will not
and should not stand for the abuse
being showered upon the government
by the |. w. w. at such time as
this.
The following article, under the title
"A Little Premature" which was
printed conspicuOusly on the editorial
page of "The Industrial Worker" the
official organ of the l. w. w. pub
lished at Seattle, in the issue of April
Z, is, a sample of what this organiza-
ton is teaching:
"There is a class in the underworld
who use the beautiful lines of a
woman's body to lead the unwary to

prosecuted these, now they are nitat-

"The United States government is
now using a large number khaki

evident purpose is to use the sex

if those who are asked to enlist were

this does not excuse those who. in
conversation with these women. switch
the subject of enlistment to that of
war babies.

A Useful Storm.

Professor Cleveland Able, the Amer
lean meteorologist, was generally cred
tied with being the father of scientific
weather forecasting. The possibility
of predicting the weather was first
considered ut an international confer
ence at Brussels in 1853, but the nee
cssary impetus to the movement was
given in lSJ4, during the Crimean war,
by violent storm in the Black sea-
which caused havoc among the allied
British and French vessels. One French
warship was wrecked, and in conse-
quence Of this disaster the astronomer
lie Nerrer 0he co-discoverer Of Nep-
tune, appropriately enough was com
missioned by the French government
to vestigate the meteorological con-
ditto ~ the time of the storms.-

Not a Contractors War

Some very cheering news has come
out of Washington, during the last few
days, with reference to the expendi-
ture of war appropriations. Warning
has gone forth, and in no uncertain
tone, first, that the Government will
not pay exorbitant prices for supplies;
second, that these supplies must be
up to standard. Disregard OF either
of these conditions may involve not
only the cancellation of contracts, but
the seizure of the plants concerned
and their further operation by the
Government.
The people of the United States are
given assurance that in this war there
must be no tampering with food for
the army, no paper-soled shoes, no
shOddy blankets, no faulty munitions.
Arrest, heavy fine, and Imprisonment
it is promised await with certainty
any offender. No new code of morals
has been devised; the Government is
simply turning back to that which has
always existed, with the purpose Of
observing and enforcing it.
It should be said to the credit and
honor of Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, that he was the first
Cabinet officer openly to oppose the
powerful interests behind the steel
plants and that his example has had
much to do in arousing a new senti-
ment among officials and private cit
izon. against those who look upon the
Government as their legitimate prey.
1t was the proposal of Josephus Dan.
iels to erect Government plants for
the manufacture of armor plate that
prevented certain of the steel mag
mates from obtaining their own prices
for such material over year ago; it
is JOsephus Daniels who has now
succeeded in making a saving of
$2O,00O,000 on this years steel con-
tracts. This he has accomplished, not
at the cost of impairing the quality
OF material, for it must stand closer
inspection than ever, but by reducing
the profits of the manufacturers.
Behind the Secretary of the Navy
now, and behind every other depart.
ment head and bureau chief who may
be called upon to make purchases Of
supplies, is new law, under which
the President has the right of fixing
reasonable price for all munitions.
If the manufacturer does not accept
the Government estimate, the latter
may seize and operate the plant. This
extreme course, however, is not to
be taken, save where there is an evil
dent purpose on the part of the man
facturer to extort illegimate profit.
1t should be made plain to all in.
tending traders with the United States
Government, at, the, very outset, that
this is not war waged for material
profit by the Nation itself; that it is
war which, from the first to last,
is to be fought out on the highest
moral grounds, and that advantage
must not be taken of the patriotic
impulse and enthusiasm behind it by
individuals, corporations or combi-
nations moved by no other purpose
than that prompted by selfishness and
sordidness of the lowest order.-The
ChirstiOn Science Monitor.
