GOOD POLITICS.

We fail to see why President Wilson IS opposed TO
3 non-partissn grand war council Surely it would be
good politics.
The party in control VIII do we'll 10 take the oppO-
sItion into full partnership and confidence in this wer
enterprise for two rsasons-one purely patriotic, the
other judiciously partisan. The nation urgently needs
the sun total OF the wisdom. vision, counsel and coop
grafton Of all parties, Therein lies the patriotic reason
for 100 per cent effort and harmony.
The partisan reason is quite simple. The huge debt
to be created because OF the war viii be for decades a
constant reminder of the responsibility for that debt
Unwise expenditures viii be remembered better than
he other kind. That's human nature If the administra-
ton OF the war IS to be essentially democratic-stil in
the partisan sense-the Democratic party must be pre-
pared 10 take the brunt of the blame for whatever blum
ders or worse there may be, Purely on the basis of
partisan selfinterest, therefore, shrewd Democratic poll
tios calls for a Hberal extension of responsibility TO
other parties than the one which happens to be in the
majority.

WHY you SHOULD SAVE SUGAR.

1t isn't a question so much Of there not being enough
sugar that you should be sparing with it, but any great
hole made into the supply on hand means just that much
more delay IN getting our troops TO France.
To be sure portions of Western Europe that former
" produced sugar are either devastated or in the hands
of the Germans. but Cuba. Porto Rico, southern United
States and Java continue to produce.
But We lack ships to haul sugar. In Java there are
hundreds Of thousands of pounds OF the sweet stuff on the
wharyes. but it cant be shipped here. We're ships used to
haul sugar just so many vessels would be taken away
from the troops and supply transport service. That IS
why You are asked to save sugar. It means American
lives.
