NAME NOT

In trying to find a way to hedge" gracefully on the tar
iff question, the Democrats talk of a bargaining tariff
and endeavor to find in the European war an explanation
for the change in attitude. We are not much concerned
as to the name they call their tariff, just so it is protective
in effect. Neither do we care much for the excuse they
give, if they will vote for an America First tariff. But
1t would be much better to have a party in power that is
for protection openly and as a matter of principle. We
shall not be economically safe until such a party is in con-
troll of both branches of congress and the white house.

The power of suggestion is strikingly shown in the case
of the l4-year-old Baltimore boy who confessed to the
killing Of a chum of like age, and was sentenced to the
state ~retormatory. The supposedly murdered boy was
found about a hundred miles from home, working on a
farm. 1t appears from the story told that the Baltimore
police, by merely repeated suggestions, led the boy to be-
heve that he had killed his chum. That such a result
would follow repeated suggestions, even with a 14year-
old child, almost passes belief.

EQUALITY NOT QUANTITY
Mr.. Babsoe has again stirred up the
hotly-discussed matter of breeding
Legitimate childrensas a means of
perpetuating the race in times of
war. His statement Quality not
Quantity" clearly shows that he is
advocating birth control or at least
in favor of it. In about 10000 or
maybe 100000 years it will be pos
sible to follow the slogan Quality
not Quantity" By that time hui
mainly will have evolved from that
state Of mateTialism which is more
in need of quantity than quality. In
other words, when the conditions of
our material lives will have been
modified and improved, then we all
shall devote our time to the develop
ment of our higher faculties and we
shall make it our most sacred duty
to improve the quality of all human
beings. Of course, Mr.. Babsoe, we
could do this today without waiting
100000 years. But will you kindly
tell me who is to run the machines,
or sweep the streets, or shine your
shoes, or mine the coal, or coal the
steam ships, or do the dirty work, -
as you probably will call it? If all
men are men of Quality, thinking and
well educated, we surely would be in
the position of King Midas and prob
ably starve to death for want of
somebody doing the dirty work.
Therefore, I suggest we try to i'm
prove conditions and create better
systems which will do away with

ONE GOD.-If religion is the main
object, why not believe in it right?
If God is the main factor, the creator,
why worship any but him? If Jesus
was an exceedingly good man, who
pleaded justice and tried to save sin
ners, why not Teverently believe in
him as such? One does not mean
one, two or three, but one big one.
One God, one people and a just
treatment for all would be the right
religion. Such a religion would pU-
rify the atmosphere, souls and ac-
lions of the whole community and
eliminate most all confUsions. Flat
terry, exaggeration and caIumny de-
stroy also all hope Of ever having
true religion and decent civilization.

Department OF JUSTICE
TO PROBE FLAG PRICES
Inquiry to Determine Reason for
Sharp Rise in National Colors
Since War Declaration.

The sharp advance in the price of
American flags is to be investigated
by the Department of Justice, follow
ing statements by Byron r. Newton.
assistant secretary Of the Treasury,
that prices of flags have increased
two-fold and in some instances more,
since the United States entered the
war. The Investigation will ascertain
whether the advance is the result of
price fixing in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
u Acts which are regarded as desecra-
ton of the flag are constantly being
brought to the attention of the De-
partment of Justice. Especially is this
so of its use for advertising purposes.
Lack of federal legislation ties the
hands of the government law ofhce.
Many states have enacted laws regu-
lating the use of the flag. The only
federal law on the subject applies only
to the District of Columbia, and was
enacted February @. last. 1t makes
punishable the improper use of the
national colors in the District of Co.
lumbia.
