A German victory is the only thing
that will set labor back permanently.

PEELED TO have a large permanent
standing army and huge navy to
defend ourselves from sudden attack.
A permanent army and navy large
enough to cope with Germany, besides
taking our boys and our workingmen
every year for military service, means
low wages, long hours of labor, sup
preston of labor unions, repeal of
labor legislation on behalf of women
and children, suppression of free
speech, and all the hardships that mil
lions of workingmen have come to
America to escape.
Those Socialists who want the
workingmen in this country to give in
TO Germany are blind and inconsistent.
For when the Socialists of Germany, a
year before the war started, voted for
war taxes when other nations were
unprepared, they violated their own
principles and forced the Socialists Of
every other nation to fight.
The leading Socialist of the world,
Camille-Huysmans international sec
rotary of the Socialist Bureau, in Hol-
land, has said to the Chicago Daily
News that the war demands of Presi-
dent Wilson are identical with the de-
mands of the International Socialists.
Americas War Aims.
The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, composed of rade
unionists and socialists, at its meeting
in Minneapolis, endorsed and repeated
these demands. These are Americas
aims in the war: Equal rights of all
nations, big and little; no people to
be forced under a government under
which it does not wish to live; free
dom of the seas; concert of nations
to guarantee peace and Justice; Iimita-
ton of ornaments on land and sea.
OF these aims the greatest is dis
armament, by limitation of ornaments
on land and sea, through International
agreement. Without this, labor cannot
be free in this or any other country.
Any socialist in America, however
honest, who tries to weaken the
morale Of American labor in this great
crisis, is simply playing the game of
the German Socialists who have al
ready sold themselves to the Kaiser.
Rather than listen to such Socialists,
let American labor join in the mag
nificent patriotism of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy.
Let them say, with the Alliance, that
labor will take its part in conducting
the war; and that the war shall be
fought to finish, for upon it's success
depends the freedom and the wages of
American labor.

Why Workingmen Support the War
By JOHN R. COMMONS, Professor of Political Economy,
University of Wisconsin.

Never before has democracy for
wage-eaners made so great progress
as it has in the nine months that we
have been at war. If this continues,
American labor will come out of this
war with the universal eight-hour day
and with as much power to fix it's own
wages by its own representatives, as
employers have.
Anybody who says that this is a
capitalistic war simply does not see
what is going on. Capitalists are be-
ing controlled in their profits and in
the wages and hours of laborers with
the help of leaders whom the working
men themselves have put on the vari-
GUS war boards.
In no other war have the govern
ment and organized labor worked to-
lgether as they are doing in the United
States today. In every department of
government that employs labor or
fixes the price that manufacturers
shall charge, there is a leading Official
of the American Federation of Labor
on the committee who has as much
power as the representative of the
capitalists. The president of the
United Mine Workers of America is
assistant to Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator. The president of the Build
ing Trades Unions is on the Emergen-
cy Construction Board for building
ships. A leading organizer of the
American Federation of Labor is on
the great War Industries Board which
controls all kinds of manufacture. A
trade unionist is Secretary of Labor.
These and many other trade union
officials were placed there by the trade
unions themselves, because these war
boards have become the big employers
of labor, or because they control the
wages that private employers pay.
The President Supports Labor.
All through these industries Presi-
dent Wilson is enforcing, as fast as
the boards can get to it, the eight
hour day, as well as time and one
half for overtime work. Moreover, the
agreements with labor unions provide
that wages shall be revised upward
just as fast as the cost of living rises
Most important of all the agree
ments with trade unions is that which
gives the same wages and hours to
union and non-union workingmen.
Never before have workingmen
taken part in the actual management
of war. Never before, in war or in
peace, has the voice of labor in govern
ment been so powerful as it is now in
America.
No wonder that the American Fede-
ration of Labor, as is shown by the
vote at the recent Buffalo convention,
supports the war almost unanimously
and stands for fighting 1t out to the
limit.
Any workingman who refuses to stand
by the great majority of his fellow
workers in their great work for labor,
is injuring himself and his brothers.
A democracy in which the wage-earner
has his share Of influence is coming:
and If 1t does not come as 1t should,

CORN will WIN y
DEMOCRACYSW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,0O0,000,000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
Iieye.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state Of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, ana at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
To-day there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonlsts from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olutlon and during the Civil War; King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ Of
the corn.

HOW ONE SHOULD USE MONEY
Worth Of Pennies, NickeIs and Dimes
First Value a Wise Man Can
Place on Wealth.

ANY man, in order to achieve real
success, must have the right ideas
about money. If he hasn't the right
IDEAS about money, he Is not solid In
character, observes writer I'm the
American Magazine. A man may easily
be hnppy successful and highly re-
garded on 81 500 dollars or less year;
but, If he Is, II Is because he knows
how to handle those 81 500, and real
ICES the power that Is in each of those
81 800 and keeps in sight the fact That
1t takes 100 cents or 20 nlcliels, or 10
dimes, to make each one Of those ST.
800.
"On the other hand, n man may
have an annual income Of $50 600 and
be neither successful nor happy nor
highly regarded. If this Is true Of him,
II IL because he hus not the right ideas
about mon :
Here is the thing that applies TO my
experience and TO every mans: Money
Is the symbol OF worth and power, If
your money Is handled correctly. If
you regard money as constructive
thing, something to be used beneficial
~ for yourself, your family and your
community, something with which to
build up and produce improvements,
you are on solid ground; nothing can
shake you, nothing, outside Of earth
quakes and fires, can ruin you finan-
elally Let me put II this way: The
use man makes OF his money after
he has got his hands on II Is the meas.
ure Of his worth"
