COUNTRY STILL p

Gentlemen, it is difficult to make
the people of the United States real
ize that their country is now actually
involved in the most terrible and
colossal war of all time."-Secretary
McAdoo, at Chicago. Ill. Naturally it
is. Up to last election day they had
been stuffed with peace dope and "he
kept us out of war" soothing syrup,
until a small majority of them had
sunk into the coma of faith that with
Wilson there could be nc war. How
rudely they have been disillusioned!
How difficult it is to shake off the
toxics engendered by this false sense
of security What dream is this? A
warlike Wilson and a militant McAdoo!
"Methought | heard a voice cry, Sleep
no more!' McAdoo does murder

GET AFTER I'LL SPIES

Sworn testimony in a New York
court of law shows that the expenses
of a great labor meeting at which Mr..
Bryan delivered an impassioned
speech that we be kept out of var
were paid with German money. Most
people will freely admit that Mr..
Bryan did not know that he was play
ing the Germans game; but all people
will recall that he was often warned
that, whatever his motive, his action
was certainly helpful to the German
u The German spy system in
this country, its ramifications and the
acuteness of its instruments, have al
way been a subject of conjecture.
We are now learning that they we're
very efficient; and there is reason 70
believe hat they still exist to some
extent. The administration would do
well to apply some of its energies to
ferreting out and destroying these
agencies of espionage and propaganda
instead of trying to get plenary pow
ers over the honest and patriotic press
of the country.

HIGH COST OF A

The Federal trade commission is
investigating why a flag costs more
now than it used to. Senator Pome-
rene Democrat, of Ohio had to pay
more for a flag than he thought he
should, and so he got the commission
to spend some government money to
learn the reason. The result of the
investigation undoubtedly will be 20
give a legal status to the law of sup
ply and demand, to show that there
has been an increase in the cost of
dye stuffs, and to prove that textiles
generally are more expensive than
they were before the war. We do not
know what the investigation will cost,
but we venture to think that the
money might be more wisely expended

GOOD PAY FOR SOLDIERS

The enlisted men who are to fight
the battles of the war owe a debt of
gratitude to Representative James w.
Good of Iowa, who is responsible for
the practical doubling of their pay
during the conflict. In the last hours
of consideration of the bill in the
House, while the Democratic chair
man of the military committee was
pleading with his colleagues "for
Gods sake to take some sort Of def
mite action" Mr.. Good presented his
increased pay proposition and made
such an effective speech in its sup
port that the House adopted the pro-
vision by a convincing vote. Thus q
compensation has been secured for
our soldiers, due almost entirely to
the initiative of Congressman Good,
that will compare f~avorably with that
of the other allies.
