MICHIGAN RELEASES MEN.

WHEN the wheat belt is threatened with a harvest hand
" famine and there a shortage of labor in other lines
it is interesting know that Michigan recently released
500 who may now find useful employment These
the employees of the 32S5 saloons and sxtywo brewer
les which closed down when statewide prohibition became
effective in the Wolverine state Time was when the fact
that many would be thrown out Of employment was
used argument by the "wet in their effort to retain
personal liberty and the poor mans club but that time isn't
Now there is such demand for workmcn that the
ider do his loafng some secluded spot to eyadc
the calls for help 1t is safe say that the Michigan bar
tenders and brewery workers will have no difficulty finding
employment where their efforts will accomplish something
useful instead Of contributing to the troubles of their fellow
men
Furthermore il it took 400 men to handle the booze
industry in Michigan think Of tire large number still en-
rloyed in that line other states more famous for their
wet goods. National prohibition would add them to the
fields OF useful industry and go far toward solving the
labor shortage in those states All this of course is but
minor angle to the liquor question which is much worse
for the patrons than the employees but it is something
be considered time when the work OF the nation looms
so large and many factories seeking the
oycras the casting aside for khaki 1t may yet
be necessary let the do the work on large scale
but it would be good idea to eliminate some Of the useless
occupations before this is done and certainly no industry
is worthless as the liquor trade
Meanwhile, Michigan, besides having more workmen
for the essential industries will have more money to invest
groceries and Liberty bonds clothing and thrift stamps
and other commodities which are worth what they cost
Michigan hasn't lost anything but an array of headaches and
worse.

'Sape the Waste and Win the War"
FOR THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH.

RESOLUTIONS adopted by the Oklahoma City Anti
IN tuberculosis society in favor Of the increased school
budget emphasize another important for support
ing the measures to provide money for schools
Crowdng and housing in nsantary and poorly lighted
basement cannot fail to have an evil effect on pupils
who are entitled to wholesome surroundings during their
school periods The added funds be provided by the in
creased eve and bond issues would eliminate these faults
and also enable the board provide open air school Tor
.nemc pupils who need such housing bring them back TO
health We have gone far in this country in safeguarding
the health Of children the death rate throughout the
registration area proves but we still lack much OF having
done a there is to do in that respect baby is still in
greater peril than soldier who goes to war and even
among children of school age, there still too many
deaths from preventable
Providing these additional school funds is way to
help the children which should be neglected There IS
less seshnes in the world than there used to be- and only
selfishness Of the sordd and sighted kind can
defeat these measures Every voter who loves little chill
dren and wishes for them the blessing of health and educa
ton will support the increase and those who against
them because of triilng increases of taxation blind
10 their own interest well that of the youngsters
For IN the long run city cannot progress rapidly
than its schools expand Progress growth development and
good citizenship what make city great and these things
are not possible without proper school facilities
Remember then that for the bonds and the higher
school evies is a vote for childhood and humanity well
as for municipal development along and permanent
lines Most people feel sure for the schools and
the children Let those who are fail to vote. Many
measures have been defeated by stay athomes who

WAR DEPARTMENT SPEEDS UP.

SENATOR Chamberlain, you will recall, recently re-
~ marked that the department had practically ceased
to function 1t is true he later ieraced to extent but
further answer is found in the fact that army abroad
now exceeds half million just how much it is not wise to
say and that there every prospect that than mil
lion will celebrate the Fourth o. July abroad and that two
million will be in France at the end of the year All of
that shows our war department hitting stride other
American war administration equaed and which few
countries upprepsed at the start could have equaled
America is not yet doing its best in the de-
parmen where there are kinks be taken OF the air
craft ange and other matters to be set right but Secre
tary Baker going some and shows every indication of
having dtched his pacs tendencies and resolved TO make
war rapidly and on a scale hitherto unknown to America
Criticism which will correct facilitate speed is still
welcome but even the opponents of the administration
concede that the war department is functoning with
siderable regularity and word of praise won't hurt at
this time
There is every indication that much Of the muddng and
delay which Characterized beginning has been
There will not again be the shortage ohcohng and
