istence counting alone upon the will
ingness of the citizen to do his duty in
time Of public need-that is, in time
OF war But the premise OF this prop
osition is SO devoid Of foundation that
1t leaves not even a shadow of ground
upon which to base the conclusion.
1T remains only to consider conten-
tons which, while not disputing pow
er, challenge the act because OF the
repugnancy to the constitution sup
posed to result from some OF its pro-
visions.
The Reasons.
First, we are of the opinion that
the contention that the act is void as
delegation of federal power to state
officials because Of some OF its admin
istrative features, is too wanting IN
merit to require further notice.
Second, we think that the conten-
ton that the statute is void because
vesting administrative officers with
legislative discretion has been so COM
pletely adversely settled as to require
reference only to some OF the decided
cases. A like conclusion also adverse
y disposes OF similar claim concern
ing the comforting Of judicial power.
And We pass without any statement

inc free exercise thereof repugnant TO

We at the outset referred. because ~

CONFESSION OF FAILURE OF THE
FUEL ADMINISTRATION.

If there are those who are under the
impression that criticism of the ad-
ministration that has now reached an
acute stage is all coming from repub-
lican sources, the extracts which fol-
low should disabuse their minds. 1t
is the voice of patriotic America that
is being heard demanding that the
best brains of the country be requisi-
toned in the supreme struggle in
which We are engaged in order that
our resources may be used to the best
advantage and that the young man
hood which has rallied to the colors
may be equipped and cared for in a
manner that will inspire confidence in
heir country and its ability to carry
his conflict to victorious end. The

in Spain and on the sea, and by her
tenacity Of purpose eventually rallied
the allies to final victory at Waterloo.
France, England, the United States,
and their allies, mean to fight to a
sure decision. although it is likely to
be brought about not by any single
battle but by steady hammering of
the enemy. We are fighting for peace,
for peace that will endure not a
patched up truce enabling the enemy
to reorganize himself for another
spring at the throat of civilization. A
treaty with an outlaw is scrap of
paper. Our aim Is to create a league
OF nations committed to the preserva-
ton of International order Shall we
ever have league more effective than
the one now existing among the allies?
If this league cannot bring the break
er of peace to his knees then no i'm
aginable combination in the future
can do So Now is the chance to
prove to the world that predatory
militarism is a punishable crime, that
1t Is incompatible with social prog
ress, and that a majority of civilized
nations Is ready to check It with all
the resources of outraged humanity.

EVERYBODY CAN BUY WAR saw
INGS STAMPS.

Thrift stamps and war savings
stamps are the most democratic Of in
vestments and America expects every
American to show love Of republican
institutions by investing in this demo-
cratic security. The aggregate amount
Of the investments and the number Of
investors in these war savings secur-
tiles are in a way the answer of the
people of this great democracy to the
call of the cause Of democracy
throughout the world and the vindica-
ton of civilization and humanity.
They afford every person, however
humble and however small his means,
the opportunity to contribute his part,
to do his bit, in this great struggle
against the military masters of Ger
many who seek to dominate the world
In contempt of justice and right and
freedom and without conscience and
without mercy.
Surely every American desires to
have part in the defeat of autocracy
and the success of liberty and right.

THE PRESS AND THE WAR.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)


The newspapers of the country and
their readers must acknowledge their
Indebtedness to Senator Knox for his
leadership in defeating a proposition
cious in it's purpose" This was the
effort to give the federal trade COM
mission control of the distribution of
print paper, suggested by the senate.
The senator has not forgotten the eff
fort to foist press censorship on the
country, defeated by congress, and
foresaw in this scheme for official con-
troll of the print paper distribution a
possibility no less dangerous to pub
lie opinion. The power of shutting
off the supply of print paper is too
great to be placed in the hands Of any
authority. Such control would carry
with it the control of the publication
of news and the expression of opin-
ion.
IF there is any class Of industry"
Senator Knox said, which has played
more loyal and more unsefish part
in the war than the newspapers of the
country | know not what it is" With
out them there could have been no
such martialing of national sentiment.
General Crowder has acknowledged
that the press alone made possible
what progress we have been able to
make toward the mobilization of the
national army. The great Red Cross
and other humanitarian campaigns
could not have been conducted as they
Were. Hoover's food administration
could not have reached the people.
In the face of countless causes for
Just criticism of administrative in
efficiency the press has Loyalty given
the administrators the benefit of the
doubt, in the hope that universal sup
port would strengthen their hands in
the work they were set to do, a for
bearance that is ceasing to be a vir-
tue. Congress and the country have
avoided criticism until it has
been compelled, and the conviction is
now general that mere statement
that the administration wishes a meas
ure enacted, as Senator Knox reminds
us, is no, longer enough to justify I'M
questioning acquiescence. That plea
has been used for some very debatable
