Still Another Ally.

Regardless of the fighting snews which China
may may not contribute, it is good to know that
she is going to enter the war on the side OF the
Allies. Her age a nation and her youth as
republic lend fresh distinction to the cause.
1t would have been a shame for people so
proverbially honest the Chinese to have been
written down in history standing neutral
through all the doings of the Prussian pirates
and brigands; the kindly shade of Confucius
would have waxed wroth at the thought Of it,
We would not undertake to say just how closely
the masses of the Chinese have studied the issues
of the war nor how enthusiastic they are over the
prospect of becoming participants. Their pro-
found serenity may leave them unmoved through
it ALL But however much little they may know
of the issues, mere instinct would be enough to
turn them against the malodorous cause of the
Hohenzolerns. ct is significant, indeed, that the
only people outside Of the Bulgarians who have
managed to tolerate association with the Kaiser
are the unspeakable Turks; and the better element
of the Turks long ago grew ashamed of the alli-
ance)
China's entrance into the will have its
effect-moral and economic if military. No
one realizes this more keenly than the German
Government which did it's utmost through bribery
and intrigue, to restore the Manchu monarchy when
it saw the drift of the republican forces toward the
Allies Germany would have plumed herself, and
not without reason, had she succeeded in setting
up and maintaining a puppet government of her
own in a land of four hundred million people and
immese economic possibilities But despite all the
craft and gold Berlin could pour into the situation,
China remained democratic, and prepares to
do her bit toward making the world safe for all
democracies.

EVERY DAY.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.

Every day.
In those two words lie the secret of all attain
ment.
It's not what we do once with all our hearts,
and with every splendid of strength that
counts, SO much as the things we've been doing
every day, whether felt like it or not
Every day! Therein is mastery The mar
vellous velvet utter exquisite beauty Of such piano
playing as Paderewski's, such violin perform
ance as Maud PowelTs-it looks spontaneous, but
it is the result of many hateful days laborious
routine
Every day! That is the road to perfection
The speaker who can hold and charm audience,
the debater quick and ready and not TO be con-
fused, the baseball player, the always So
cially at ease-everybody, in fact, that do any
thing we'll owes that poise and finish to the slow
efforts of every day.
No matter how gifted an actor, how naturally
endowed he cannot be master without infinite
practice.
Young people do not realize the tremendous
cumulative power that lies in time Take ten
years. Say you are twenty. By the time you are
thirty what enormous efficiency you might build UP
II you would only use every day certain amount
of time.
Almost everybody wastes enough hours in ten
years TO get a doctors degree in any university.
In ten years you might be speaking and read
ing fluently Spanish or French Japanese, you
might be authority upon geology, botany, chem
istry, English literature, history, whatever fits
your ambition, if you would only be faithful every
day.
Every day! The universe is constructed on
routine. The sun rises every day, the stars re-
volve, the seasons come and go by schedule, your
heart beats and your lungs fill and empty as reg
ulary the clock ticks, every generation OF men
or of animals is the result of numberless preceding
generations, and over again nature tries her
hand, and her matchless perfection is only the
stored up treasure Of endless practice.
And in character every day means even more
than anywhere else. The most honest man is the
man who has been honest every day, the most vir-
tuous woman is she that has behind her present

No force is so great in any man as the stored

Americas War Pace.

Speaking of American efficiency, Herbert
Hoover says that the United States has done more
in four months than Germany did in Year The
record bears him out.
In both economic and military preparation this
country has wonders to its credit since April the
sixth despite the fact that comparatively little
had been done until then. At the outset Congress
authorized a war budget of seven billion dollars
Loans aggregating three billions have been ad-
vanced to our allies assured them. Seven hun
dred and fifty millions for building merchant
feet and six hundred and fifty millions for an air
fleet have been appropriated and work on both
of those vast enterprises is being pressed vigor-
ousy forward The first Liberty loan of three bill
lion dollars has been over-subscribed upwards of
four million people participating. hundred
million dollar fund has been raised for the
Red Cross. The nations treasure has poured freely
into the cause. But these appropriations and gifts
are merely symbols of the stirring activities of the
past four months. The country's productive powers
have been exerted as perhaps never before both in
factories and on farms with the result that vast
stores of necessaries are accommodating. Par
ticulary cheering is the unprecedented acreage Of
foodstufs; and the final passage of the Food Con-
troll bill assures due conservation of the autumn s
promised abundance
Our fighting forces-the spear point for which
these economic preparations are the shaft-are
tered for military service, and from them the first
National army Of six hundred and eighty-seven
thousand is now being selected. Apart from these,
upwards of eight hundred thousand men, the great
majority of whom have volunteered since early
spring, are now under arms. We have an army
division in France splendid body of soldiers,
and as excelently equipped, as ever the sun shone
on. We have patrol Of destroyers doing effective
duty in tn U-boat zone while all the units of the
navy are engaged in vital service. Thirty-two can
tonments for the training of the Selectmen pro-
crossing rapidly in construction. Before autumn
ends or within little more than six months from
our entrance into the war shall have more
than one and a half million men under arms Com
paratively a small part of that force, 1t is true,
will be ready for service at the front but all will be
fairly on the way toward getting ready.
What America has done thus far is merely the
index TO what she must do and will do but it is
index that truly roars and thunders of the act to
come A wondrous record of achievement it is for
an inherently peaceable nation called suddenly to
arms and a stirring pledge for the future. You
could not expect, Marse Henry puts it, that such
a nation would get into demanding billions
of dollars and millions of men, with the savior
faire of a cotillon leader entering a ball room or
with the sang froid of the of the champion
ship belt stepping into the prize ring" but being
in Americans will bear themselves as Polonius
advised Laertes to do, that those who sought the
quarrel may their folly and respect the foe.'

The Best Wav to Good Schools.

1t is much to the credit of Clinch county that
five hundred of it's property owners have
petitioned for election with a view to inaugu-
rating a countrywide system of local taxation for
the support of public schools. Leaders of the
movement are encouraged by the fact that in every
South Georgia county in which such elections
Gently have been held the school tax has been APP
proved by clear, and in some instances over
whelming majority of the voters.
Without a local tax to supplement the State
fund, county hope to have the school IA
cities which it's material interests demand and
which it's children deserve; the State ever
meet its educational needs until its Legislative
appropriation for the common schools Is supple
mented by fair measure of local self-help in all
the counties. We have gone about as far as we
expect to go in the way Of State funds for
schools approximately two and a quarter mills
of the constitutional limits of five mills being
applied to that purpose Still, the average length
of our school term is grevously short and our per
capita expenditure for schools is discreditably low
err than that of States not nearly rich as Geor-
gia.
The only source to which the counties can look
for any permanent and considerable increase in
the school fund is themselves The sooner all of
them levy local tax for schools, the better 1T will
be for each of them and for the Commonwealth.
Georgia is one of the only three States which do
not require the counties levy reasonable tax for
school purposes There is before the Legs-
lature a bill designed to bring our system or
school finance abreast of the nations and make it
equal to our urgent needs The measure provides
for submitting to the voters constitutional amend
ment requiring the proper county authorities to
levy annually tax of not less than one nor more
than five mills for the maintenance of public
schools. The passage of this bill will amount only
to submitting to the people Of the entire State the
question which is to be submitted to those of Cnch
county and which already has been answered az
firmatively in forty-odd counties in various parts
of Georgia. This is the most important educa-
tional measure now before the General Assembly
and among the most important it has ever been
asked to consider. No sounder service could be
rendered the Commonwealth than to press this
bill promptly to enactment.

The Food Control Lam.

Belated though it is, the enactment of the
Food Control bill marks decisive stroke for the
nations security and success in the But for
this shielding and conserving measure, the United
States would face a winter not merely of discon-
tent but of dark peril No matter how Loyalty the
farmers worked nor how richly the seasons crown
ed their labors there would have been want and
distress in the land il due steps. had not been
taken TO prevent ruthless monopoly and speculation
What the food brigands did so brazeny in the early
part of this year. when in the prices of wheat alone
they robbed the public OF more than fifty million
dollars a month, they would have done on an
enormous scale in the coming winter if they had
been let alone Unhesitstingly and unblushingly
they would have betrayed the country into the
Kaiser's hands if thereby they could have brimmed
their own flesh pots.
That danger, thanks to the resoluteness of the
Administration and the loyalty of the majority of
CONGRESSES over. The bill as finally passed gives
the President real to protect public interests
in prices Of food and fuel far as just regulation
together with fair and efficient distribution
can protect them. The boarding or waste de-
struction of foodstufs for the purpose of extor-
tionate prices is made severely punsha bIe Boards
of trade and exchanges made subject to Govern
mental regulation conditions it. The
President is authorized to license, that is to
take under Government supervision, the manufac-
ture. storage, importation distribution of airy
necessaries over which such control may become
requisite to the public good. Further, the Presi-
dent may direct the Federal Trade Commission to
ascertain the cost of coal and coke and fix max
imum> prices.
In addition to these preventive and regulative
clauses, the act contains number Of constructive
provisions 1t authorizes, for instance, Govern
ment guarantee of reasonable prices to wheat pro-
ducers as a fair means of assuring and stimulating
an abundant production of that prime food staple
1t also provides for national food survey to de-
termine fully and accurately what the country's
supply and resources amount to. On the data thus
obtained. definite and effective methods of economy
can be devised. Germany's remarkable staying
powers in spite of lean larder are due in no
small measure TO the fact that in the autumn of
1914 she had careful stock-taking of almost
cut her bill of fare accordingly. The administra-
ton of the Food Control bill will be largely mat
ter Of cooperation between the Government and
the people. Already. under Mr.. Herbert Hoover's
admirable leadership. voluntary workers in the
cause of food conservation organized through
out the country. The rank and file of merchants.
milIers and manufacturers be counted upon to
stand Loyalty with the Government. Only to selfish
and sinister interests will the Food Control de-
-partment appear dictatoriaL To the of the
people the law will be simply means to organized
seIf-control to protect the interests and
make victory sure.

POWDERED SOUP

One of the beneficial effects of the recent scare
over threatened shortage of tin cans was an ex-
tended investigation into other possible methods OF
preserving food. The canned soup manufacturers
were among the most earnest seekers, for they
we're threatened with having their tin supply cut
off at an early date They have worked out pro-
cess for putting up dried soup in powdered form
in containers of heavy wax paper. Similar systems
of drying and packing vegetables already in use
in Europe but the soup idea represents American
enterprise. Apparently it will not come on the
market. because tin going to be mora
plentiful than was anticipated

Frying Ont Germany's Fat.

Much is expected of the new law limiting our
exports to European neutrals to their downright
necessities Germany thus will be cut of from
considerable quantities OF foodstuffs and ma
terials, deprivation that will become serious in
deed in the course OF six months year. Par
tcularly will this be true Of fats Germanys largest
need and largest lack. The New York Commercial,
observing that low-grade animal fats now
worth from four to FIVE dollars a pound in the
Kaiser's country, comments:
"It is not only fats and oils for foods
that he seeks. We know that locomotives and
railroad being put out of commission
through shortage of lubricants. Attempts to
substitute tar for oil and grease resulted in
tying up much rolling stock during the cold
weather last winter, and machinery is being
worn out by poor lubricants. By depriving
Germany of lubricants shall reduce the
productive capacity of her shops even more
than short food rations lower the capacity for
work OF the people. Such embargo is fair
retaliation against the submarine campaign to
starve our Allies"
The neutrals have no ground for just COM
plant against our policy, because the United
States is wholly warranted in doing with it's own
products what the interests of itself and of it's
allies demand 1t is not presuming to interfere
Win neutral lTaue IL is simply saying Indt us own
foodstufs and other basic commodities shall not
go to help maintain its enemy and civilization s
enemy.
II has been definitely ascertained that large
quantities OF food and merchandise from America
found its way into Germany and to the Kaisers
armies by way of neutral lands. The law will not
check this Immediately and its effect will not be
felt keenly perhaps for months; but eventually it
will prove a sharp and powerful weapon.

THE WIVES OF STRIKERS.
A Protest Against Picketing and
Tagging" by Women.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc Star.
Recently certain women of Washing
ton have been quite active in suggest
ing plans of operation against the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany to be carried out by the
wives. of the strikers. Now it
can easily be seen that these women
are not working in the interest of the
strikers and their families. If they
were sincere in their efforts would they
ask these wives and mothers to hu-
initiate themselves to the extent of
standing on street corners, like the
common beggar, and solicit aims from
the public through the sale of a tag
which has no significance? Would they
induce these women to do picket duty
along the lines of the railway company
or to yell 'scab' or. rat at the crews
operating these carfo What are they
trying to do? Degrade US before the
eyes of the people?
These tactics do more evil than good.
The plan proposed only leaves some
thing to reflect back on our children,
to be thrown in their faces when
ever the occasion should arise and per-
haps follow them up to the time of
their maturity. With some of them the
humiliation may cause serious results
do not look upon it in this light. What
they are advising the wives and daugh-
ters of strikers to do they shun them
selves.
We may be the wives of working
men and not as comfortably fixed in
this life as some folks. but we have
some little pride and honor left, and,
above all else, we should have that re-
gard for the future of our children, so
they might not feel ashamed of some
of the past acts of their parents when
they grow to that age when such
things have a serious effect on the hu-
man mind.
Of course, we want to see our hus-
bands win out on this strike, and it is
our duty to render them such aid as
may be within our power, but please.
please. don't ask US to take to the
streets like the common beggar. 1t is
better that our husbands seek other
employment than to have such re-
Election to be thrown back upon our
children MRS. MARY McELWIN.
