GET AFTER GEN. APATHY

Considerable space has been given
by newspaper cditorialists of late to
the fact that America as Il whole is
not awake to the necessities Of the
task ahead of her in the war. They
have pointed out that there is little
more feeling against autocracy today
than there was before the war was
declared. and probably less than cX
listed Immediately after the slaughter
of the innoccnts aboard the Lusitania.
Concerted effort made to rout old Gem
eral Apathy and his shallow Drained
adflerents---the pacifist. the extreme
Socialist and all pro- Germans-has not
as yet proved over effective.
4 writer in the New York Tribune
has thus analysed the cause of the sit
uation:
The cause is to be found" he
writes 'in the fact that we have
not attempted to develop the intel
lcctual resources of the people and
focus them upon 4 few of the in
disputable reasons that have
forced us into the war. No organ
: lied effort has been made to use
the psychologist effect Of the rep
etition and rciteration of a care
fully considered shibboleth upon
the collective mentality of the pco-
pie"
He suggests the appointment and
employment by the Council Of Ma
tional Defense or the Bureau Of Public
Infor,na ton of a psychologist whose
duty it win be to focus the national
mind upon the two, three or four
causes that forced us into the war. and
keep it there.

Low Prices.

dinner at his house in Riverside Drive:

High prices are a sign of good times,

able reputation il has obtained, If
the federal government had not
shirked the responsibility which
seems TO properly belong to it to
protect the nations and its own
name from traitorous and seditious
attack. If it gets busy now it can
do some good. but it is acting too
late to bring Frank Little back to
life. when, il i, had taken action
sooner. II must have saved him and
Butte's name as well.
We suggest that action begin at two
ends. the department of justice IA

fortunate affair at Butte should be ~

PREFER TALKING TO READING
In One of the Most Charming
of Accomplishments.

Fifteen years ago. of Whereabouts,
heard publisher describe the South

novel and the ten-cent magazine"
Since the demise of Poe's Southern
Literary Messenger, no magazine of
any large significance or popularity
has been edited in Dixie. Today, there
is no great publishing house In the

But the aristocrats of Dixie, the
