COMMON SENSE is NEEDED.

1t is common sense that places OF
business not using fuel should be al
lowed to remain open on Mondays.
But the people of Georgia do not
know just where they are at" in the
premises.
Senator Hoke Smith wires that the
national fuel administration says such
stores may remain open.
But here comes DR.. Hardman, the
state administrator, in an interview
in today's papers, and says, most en-
phatically, that all stores must close
whether they use fuel or not
Last Monday, throughout Georgia,
was day of pleasant temperatures,
and many stores could have remained
open, without burning fuel, and with
out discomfort Yet under the state
administrators ruling these stores
were forced to close.
The American people are submitting
gracefully, uncomplainingly and
even cheerfully, to the various new
restrictions, such as are entailed by
the food and fuel administrations, but
they do insist, and have right to in
sist, that these drastic laws shall be
enforced in common sense way.
To require the closing of stores that
do not burn fuel is not exalting pa
triotism even a little bit, and is GER
tainly not conducive to fuel conserva-
ton
And if we understand it, the idea OF
a heatless Monday is to save fuel.

THE KAISER'S problem.

The strikes in Germany, causing a
suspension of work in thousands of
plants, are not to be construed as
protest against the war.
The strikes reflect, chiefly, the de-
sire of the governed to participate in
the government, but also rebellion
against the Prussian military system.
Similar conditions prevailed in Rus
STA before the popular outburst which
resulted in the overthrow of the
Car and the establishment of a gov
eminent by, of and for the people.
For that reason the situation in Ger
many is one to attract the attention of
the world.
If half a million working men have
the audacity and the courage to voice
g protest against their present form
of government, it is certain that sew
eral million others share the same
sentiments, and in a crisis would like
wise give expression to their ideas
and desires.
The strike is important to the
United States and the nations asso-
ciated with us in war because they
will cripple, at least temporarily, the
great German war machine.
With shipbuilding plants and NUM-
ton factories closed down, as we'll as
manufacturing establishments gem
orally, Germany's war plans must GER
tainly be hampered and delayed Each
interference with the system, however
small, rebounds to the advantage of
the Allies.
i With the iron heel of the army fas-
tened upon their necks, the German
people have had no opportunity of
formulating any open demand for an
equal share in their government They
have been intimidated, bullied into
submission, and even cowed. But fol
a long time there have been symptoms
Of popular unrest, and the sentiment
of dissatisfaction is now obviously so
strong as to break its leash.
The Kaiser has never faced more
serious problem. With the fate of the
Car fresh in mind, he is bound to
realize that his dynasty and the throne
of the Hohenzollerns are really on
the brink of an upheaval 1t is going
to require something more than brute
force, which has always been the
characteristic of the Prussian theory
Of government, to whip the people into
Zine. Some concessions must be made;
If not, one need not be a prophet, nor
the son of a seer, to predict that ere
long still another monarch will be
relegated to the waste-pile
With the Kaiser in power. the war
will continue, in all likelihood, until
a decisive stage is reached, but if the
German people are able to force their
way to power, by sheer strength of
numbers, it is entirely feasible that
sudden termination Of the mighty
war conflict may result. This being
true, it is small wonder that the pray
ers of all free peoples and of all who

DEVELOPMENT OF IDEAS.

The man of ideas is slowly coming
to his own. But he is not coming to
his own as fast as he should; nor are
large establishments realizing fast
enough that he is coming. Soon those
handling large affairs will be search
ing for men of ideas, but they will
find that these men are few and far
between, and are mostly gathered in
by other large concerns whose man
ayers were wideawake in time.
The men of ideas are men of imagi-
nation, and there are few imaginative
men in the ranks of employment.
Il is slowly being realized that the
most valuable men nowadays in in
dustrial plants are the men who
imagine and dream, and from whose
imagining and dreams come results of
a practical nature. Many such men
are cherished by those who are
awake to the needs of the hour, and
these men of ideas are allowed free
scope to dream and suggest changes
OF large or small extent. OF course,
such men must be controlled by others
of a more practical disposition, as
any plant would soon be wrecked if
left to the dreamer alone There are,
of course a few individuals who see
the practical side of affairs as well
as the possibility of improvement Such
men are extremely valuable. and a
business is indeed fortunate when such
treasure is in control or partial
control Of operations.
The man of ideas referred to here
is with reference to methods of doing
work only, and not to scientific ques
tons in connection with methods of
manufacture. Men for such questions
are scientists, and are pretty we'll
recognized already. =.
1t must be clearly understood that
tie man of ideas is not simply man
OF experience who has acquired from
long service a deep knowledge of his
special business. Such a man may
have no ideas at all, but simply a
quantity of information If anything
occurs in his special line of work, he
is full of expedients to carry out the
job. He is not the man of ideas of
today. Let it be understood also that
the more experience man has in any
line, the better he is provided he has
that important and indispensable
Imagination. Without the imagination
he cannot see how to make large or
small improvements, though he can
carry them when forced on his atten-
ton.
In a small way ideas are being paid
for in many concerns Where an en-
ploye has hit upon a device or method
that is found good it is customary to
pay him a small amount as a sort of
royalty, even though the idea is not
patented or patentable. He has i'm
proved the output to a certain extent,
and is recognized and paid a little
more than the others to keep him and
also in the hope that he may hit on
something else that will work Such
men are men of ideas and should be
paid well.
In larger way, some men of ideas
are paid more. When foreman or
leading man gets up a good thing, he
is important enough so that he must
be retained if possible. So he receives
a larger amount that the casual en-
ploye in order to retain him and also
to prevent his going to some other
plant to give them the improvement.
However, the pay for ideas is alto
gether too small, and the business
world is slowly waking up to the fact.

MISUNDERSTANDING CLEARED UP

A misunderstanding relative to the
canteen work of the Y. M G. A. has
been cleared up by the War Depart
ment, which issued the following:
Matter of prices asked by Young
Mems Christian Association for its
articles sold in canteens overseas al
ready investigated by war department
and condition is being Aremedied. The
Young Mems Christian Association
was originally asked by General
Pershing to run the canteens for the
army on cost basis. In order. to do
this 1t had to reckon in price fixing
such overhead charges as transporta-
tion charges and marine insuranceoso
that prices were much higher than in
this country.
"The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation made no profits, but lost thou
sands of dollars. Arrangements now
made will enable, them to obtain sup
plies from sources that will reduce
overhead charges and keep prices
down"
