not be surprised to see small revolu- tions crop up all over the country. They are not bad men. merely be- cause they drink their glasses of beer. Even if they were bad they could not be made good against their will Senator Lodge in his speech in the Senate Thursday hit the nail on the head. He said: ''It Is all we'll enough to say that they ought to be made good against their will and that they are wrong and wicked to drink. There should be some toleration; there should be some liberality of view. l have seen many of these men who drink beer who are quite as noble as some of those who are cry ing so loudly for universal Prohibit tion."
 The Food Control Bill must be made a law within the very near future. The safety of the nation de- mands it. But the safety of the nation does not demand that this bill carry rider which. would make the entire nation bone-dry merely be- cause few fanatics would gain a long wished for point under the guise of war emergency. There will be great sacrifice by the people of the entire country before the war is over. There has already been sacfince. But there is no need imposing further hardships upon the workers of this country by taking from them the privilege of enjoying a glass of beer or so at the end of hard days, work.

Especially if these victims of ruth less German submarine warfare hap pened to be American citizens. Nat urally. the broken promises of the German Emperor, who gave the American government his word o{ honor he would not sink unarmed ships without first providing for the safety of passengers and crew, are to be excused on the ground of mill itary necessity. It was all right, too, for the German Ambassador, von Bernstorff, while enjoying our trust and hospitality, to conduct a cam paign of intrigue against our cit izens. And, further, it was great for Germany to attempt to enter into a bargain with Japan, through Mex. ico, whereby three of the most inn portant states in the Union would change hands
 Germany herself might not have come over here; but Germany's paid agents and spies did come here, and they have left traces of their handi- work in every American city, in every American town, from the gulf to the Canadian border, from the Allan tic to the Pacific. If this is but a sample of what Germany can do without coming to America, then the American boys had better rally to the Stars and Stripes and go to fight Germany somewhere near her own territory. Not having been here yet, God help this country if Germany does finally arrive. And yet there are some who wonder why we are at war.

AT THE END OF THE DAY.

Beginning with the Monday issue the Herald will not publish liquor ad- vertisements. All clients who have hitherto placed their copy with this office have been notified of this action. This means a great loss to the Herald in Revenue. Thousands ofs dollars a year will be lost to the exchequor of with, the new postal regulations, all though it is not imperative that we do so. If necessary we could keep within the law and publish special local edition carrying these adver- tisements.
 Having taken this step, the Herald is at greater liberty to discuss the present prohibition propaganda that the battle being waged for a bone-dry nation. Holding no brief for the liquor interests. we cannot see where at this time such a move would be for the betterment of the country, or for more successful waging of the war. On the contrary. we believe that President Wilson has stated the issue clearly and forceably in his letter to the legislative committee of the Anti-Saloon League asking that the pernicious activity of this organ ization be stilled for the safety of the nation. The Food Control Bill. wit ifo ,&H .3~ more than anything else to divide this country at the present moment. And we cannot wage a successful warfare unless we have united nation. Pro- its day. It has made rapid strides,
 and will make ever better adance-
 ments; but the people have not been
 asked to vote upon it, as yet, in the
 issues. The late campaign presented
 but one party that advocated it, the
 Prohibition Party, and that party met
 decisive defeat. Neither Of the two
 or the Republican carried a plank advocating prohibition. When either
 of these parties sees fit to do so, then
 shall prohibition win or lose by the
 suffrage of the people.
 If this war could not be won unless the United States of America were to become bone-dry nation there are few men or women who would stand in the way of this accomplishment. If the food of this nation could not be properly conserved unless the manu- facture of whiskey and beer and light
 wines were absolutely prohibited there would be little room left for argu-
 ment. No patriot would stand in the
 way of a bill that would make the nation bone-dry. This, however, has
 not been shown to date./ If it is. the nation will stand ready to go on l. rations for the duration of the war, yeven to a let-up on the lightest beverages.
 There are men working in the great munition plants of this country who will fight the battle of democracy just . as heroically as will the men who go forth to fight in the trenches. These men are the iron moulders and the 1 steel makers, the factory workers and 1, the millwrights. After long hours { in hot workshops these men have !, been accustomed to come out into the public cafes and restaurants and order their beer, or wine ,or whatever
 1t might be to appease the thirst of a metal-caked throat Deprive them of this ono relief, this one surcsase from the srind of the day. and VI would

 The Trees We grew on mountains where tho glaciers cry, Infinite somber armies of us stood Fellow the snow peaks which defy the sky; A song like the gods moaning filled our wood: We knew no men-our life was to stand staunch, Singing our song, against the ava lanche.
 The Hemp and the Flax We were 8 million grasses on the hill. A million herbs which bowed as the wind blew, Trembling in every fiber, never still: Out of the summer earth sweet life we drew, Little blue-flowered grasses up the glen, Glad of he sun, what did we know of men?
 The Workers. We tore the iron from the mountains By blasting fires we smithied it to steel: Out of the shapeless stone we learned to mould The sweeping bow; the. rectilinear keel; We hewed the pine to plank, we split the fir, We pulled the myriad flax to fashion her. Out of a million lives our knowledge came, A million subtle craftsmen forged the means; Steam was our handmaid, and our servant flame. Water our strength, all bowed to our

 Now that the board of police com- fmissioners has met and organized people following civic affairs will have to confine their speculations as to what 1t does-and apparently they will have to be content with specula- tion since the mayor has seen to it that his appointees have issued an edict of complete secrecy as to their doings. It is this thing that gals the public. They dislike to have their servants meet to transact the peoples business behind closed doors. At best the public has had but littl confi- dence in past safety boards. and the incoming one is doing little to warrant confidence when star chamber ses- sions'' are made the rule. The mayor has said that there are many matters coming before the board of which the public should be kept in ignorance and he also states that the district attorney oftimes has things to say to them that are for no other ears. It is hard to understand what matters of routine business are so important that they should be kept secret, and the mayor has no reason to believe that a reasonable request to make no mention of some more private item. not bearing directly in the public's interests, would not be respected.
