ment. Many deaths can be directly
attributed to lack of knowledge of
what to do before a doctor of nurse
could be secured. In such conditions
as have generally prevailed during the
prevalence of this dreadful epidemic
the old saying that ian ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure" is
pressed home with telling effect. The
truth is that the human race gener-
ally is more ignorant of the care and
treatment of humankind than it is of
the treatment of stock. A little more
study along this line, sufficient at least
to administer "first aid" remedies
be of inestimable benefit during the
prevalence of such epidemics.

we have provided sufficient supplies of
food for all our Allies. This is in
marked contrast to the food conditions
of the Central Powers, and their al
lies. In all the countries directly al
lied with the Central Powers food
conditions have been extremely Sc

pire has not only reduced its own peo-
pie to starvation, but millions of the

food supplies and left them destitute.
"These nations are now starving

Some of these populations it will

SINK THEM

The suggestion that the warshi6s
taken from Germany ought to be brok-
en- up is rathor startling at first.
Should the Allies deliberately destroy
one Of the richest prizes rightfully
won from Germany? is a question
that suggests itself but in point of
fact the question is not pertinent. The
real prize was the destruction Of Ger
man power to do harm. The ships
are of no value except for war, and
10 division can be made Of them with
fairness which does not maintain the
existing relative strength of all the
nations opposed to Germany. If the
ships were distributed they would on
~ cancel each other, and every one
cf them W2uld be q costly addition to
the war burden Of the world. Dis
armament will make good beginning
when the German ships are stripped
and sunk--Rarublie.

"The work Of the Food Administra-
ton must continue until peace is pro-
claimed. There can be no let-up in
our efforts to supply the nee Is of a
starving world and there must be no
leniency toward the food gambler who
seeks to benefit from the hunger of
destitute women and children. We
must he even more valiant by reason
of the fact that we now face a yerv

food commodities and consumers to

OUR PEOPLE COME FIRST

Certain great business interests in
the East are already talking Of maxi
ing America the dominant power in
the commerce of the world. There are
plans afoot to girdle the seven seas
with the reborn mercantile flag of
the United States and to make our
manufactured articles standard where
ever man treads in the two hemis-
pheres.
The Republic heartily favors any
move to enhance the country's indus
trial greatness, but there is dis
quoting note running through the con-
versation of the big men who are ia
thering the idea of commercial expan-
sion. We hear, for extmple, that we
cannot compete with otl.er manufac-
wage standards are made equal, or
nearly so. Also we learn that our
child-labor laws must be modified if
our textile mills are to enter the mar
kets dominated by England and Germ
any before the war.
1t is very likely that complete de-
mobilization will be followed by a re-
adjustment in wages but if the price
Of dominating the worlds markets is
to be the reduction of our workmen's
pay of the European level and the re-
introduction Of children into the moi
some mills, we will keep our ships at
home and continue in our old-time in
dustrial isolation. America thinks too
much of its boys and girls and men
and women to trade their health and

ANOTHER WAY TO

up" to be perpetrated by any or.
ganized gang" of highwaymen OF
freebooters. The time of the briet
adjournment would not permit mem.
bers living on the Pacific Coast to
get home and spend more than a day
or two before they would have to
start on the return trip, if they are
to be there when that body reconvenes.
Yet all members living at such re-
mote distance will draw $1,000 to
$1,000 extra mileage" from the u
S. Treasury, whether they make the
trip home or not. At least two-thirds
of this mileage expense is clear
gain, or graft, for such members of
Congress, even If they make such
trip. If they do not make the trip
home, and it is only fair to suppose
that very great proportion of them
will not return to their homes for
such brief stay, then the whole
amount of that snug sum of 81 900 to
$1,000, will be chucked into their wal
let as a "pick up"
When the aggregate amount of
such grating" methods is figured up,
as it has been done; and when it is
found that the mileage expense"
that will be drawn from the peoples
treasury as a result of this little
"coup" will amount to approximately
S25O,OOQ, then such practice is calcu-
lated to impress itself on the minds of
the average citizen as highway rob-

Department of Labor

Little Rock, Arkansas,
 August 5th, 1918.
 Editor Independent:-
 No doubt you have. already re- ceived literature from the U. $. Employment Service Depart ment of Labor. Washington, D. G., explaining the intent of the Government in taking over the task of recruiting labor for the various War Industries, includ- ing farms. It is not the purpose of the Government to interfere in any way with the labor al- ready engaged upon farms, but rather to distribute this labor to the very best advantage.
 Many farmers in your county may need extra help at this time while there may be many per sons there who would be willing to go to other sections of the State for employment It is the purpose of this Department to get census of these needs, that we may be able to render your county all the service possible. For instance: the rice growers will soon need men to operate their tractors. motor trucks, drive their teams, shock rice, assist in threshing. etc. There are many sections throughout the State where share croppers, cash renters and renters for a third and fourth of the crop are needed. You may have a number of such persons in your county. l The rural teachers of the stete are being asked to call the farm CTS of various districts together. for the purpose of getting the ex act census of both the surplus labor in each vicinity. and the amount and kind of labor need ed. Your paper can render them great deal of service by giving this matter publicity, that the farmers may know the purpose of the meeting, which will un doubtedly give them more inter est in it.
 May we depend upon you to cooperate with us in securing this date at the earliest moment possible? All such persons should address this office AT | ONCE. Proper blanks will then be furnished them for reporting.
 Thanking you for your past loyal support of our Govern ment's War Program. 1 am
 Very truly yours,
