in O. country Ike ours. where every
.4l ia free. and knows II, the hum
est toiler has deep down in his heart
the consciousness that he is entitled
TO an honest livelihood and a normal
share OF natures blessings There can
ho little surprise that. at times. he
rises to a point of personal privi-
lcge'
This is his country. and be knows,
too, that he has a voice in its govern
ment. and very justly has he come to
realize that he can demand those
rights that are his own.
There has been a belief prevailing in
many circles that the average Amer
lean laborer is inclined toward the
extreme, and is ever ready to foster
discord Recent events in tho labor
world argue but one conclusion-that
American labor is cohesive in all that
relates to the patriotic support OF the
government in it's great battle for de-
mocracy True. there are dlsturbers
in the ranks. as may be found any
where and among any element of citi-
zcnry, but the column of laboring
their faces 10 the duty OF ready obe-
dience to every call OF the country.
In America, where great fortunes
are built up in the hands of the few,
it IL not surprising that there should,
from time to time, develop distrust
and even want of proper patriotic fer
vor among those who toll. Except
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1918-04-18

for one conspicuous element, no other
nation in the world anords conditions
more favorable for this development
than our own country. This element
is education, and its influence Is con-
stantiy at work reducing the tendcn-
cy toward national distrust.
Public free schools and compulsory
school attendance which now obtain
in every state in the union have taught
the poor, as we'll as the rich. that
America is the government of every
citizen. and the poorest child learns
that he can become the most power
ful man in the country.
SO labor is intelligent and patrio-
tic. From its latest organized pro-
nouncement, there comes the thrill
ing information that 1t will entertain
during the present war no sugges-
tons. interviews or communications
of any kind whatsoever from alien
bodies or individuals upon any sub
jcct. question. controversy or matter
whatsoever. This means no more than
it says, but it does mean all that
it's says. 1t means that American
organized labor declares that every
man in this country is either pa
triot or a traitor, and the working
men OF the nation are determined
with might and main TO win this war,
and that no influence. secret or open.
nor cause. nor clamor, nor thing of
any kind shall deter or alter their
purpose.

The Amazing Exodus of
American Girls.

Margaret Deland. on her way u
France as correspondent Of the WON
ans Home Companion. writes I'm the
May number of the American women
going abroad for war work:
"Of all the amazing things that
have come bubbling and seethlng TO
the surface of siife during these last
three and a half years. there has
been nothing more amazing to me
than this exodus of American girls!
Has such thing ever happened in
the world before? A passionate desire
on the part OF tho women or one
people to go TO the help of the men
of another people? Would any other
nation. / wonder, If We were at war,
send it's girl across the ocean to
serve us?
"Of course, the divine and terrify-
ing ferment the yeast, which is stir
ring our girls and driving them into
the high adventure Of Altruism, is
stirring all women everywhere; but l
am inclined to think that this special
expression of it. which has started
little army of girls over to France,
could not have happened anywhere
but in the United States. where faith
ers and mothers have so very little to
say as to the behavior of their daugn-
tiers. They may stand on the dock
and squeeze the wet ball of a hand
kerchief against quivering lips, and
they may run halfway down the
gang plank and let the raw December
wind rumple the hair around their
thin temples--but they cannot hold
their girls back from the gray sea,
where heaven only knows what may
meet them
"But through the parental bewild
erment which is one of the hall
marks of the twentieth century there
is one thing of which we must all
be sure, namely, that these young
creatures are moved by true and
honest impulse of service. Granted
that the accusation of the elderly
stay at-homes- where-there- is plenty
to-eat is true. and that they go over
to France for the love of adventure,
and because the lure of the uniform
or the desire to stand up beside the
boys and say, Here Look at me.
I'm just as good a. soldier in my way
as you are in yours ('When the
war is over, said one OF them, the
men will be ashamed not TO give us
the ballot,D Grant all these things.
yet the deepest thing, and the truest
thing, is the impulse to serve. And
IT will be just as well for some of ms
critical folks to remember who 1t
was who said some 1000 years ago:
! am among you as one who

Caught in Police Net.
Alexandria Gazette. }


Lewis n. Machen, executive secre-
tary of the Virginia council of defense.
sent communication recently to the
police justice of this city, inclosing
a resolution OF the council requesting
police justices, mayors and others be-
fore whom such cases may come to
do everything possible toward ehmi-
mating houses of ill-fame, which exist
more or less in all communities The
matter Is urgent at this time, when
large numbers of soldiers are en-
camped near certain cities. Vultures,
in the shape of lewd women. gamblers.
thieves and others always follow an
army. 1t was so during our Civil
war, when at least one thousand wom-
en- took up their abode in Alexandria
few weeks after the arrival of the
federal troops. They remained here
until the departure of the soldiers,
and, as we stated recently, large
number later left New York on a
steamer for New Orleans, where they
intended to resume their lives of
shame, but the steamer was sunk dur
ing storm on the coast, and none
were left to tell the tale.
Alexandria is now infested with
another generation OF lewd women,
mostly colored, who would fain make
prey of our soldier boys, despite the
many warnings the latter receive or
how many churches and other build
lngs may be opened for their enter
tainment.
The police last Saturday night
coralied thirty-three negro men and
women In such resorts. Four were
charged with operating disorderly
houses and two men with selling and
distributing liquor in the houses Of
repute. The four alleged
priprietresses were sent to the work
house for ninety days, the violators of
the prohibition law were held for the
grand jury and the others fined IS
each for being in the places. Most of
the latter class forfeited their eollat-
eral by falling to appear when their
cases were called this morning.
The women who conducted these
bagnios would have readily paid fines.
but the police department is deter
mined to keep them out of mischief
for time at least
