PUTTING BUSINESS
INTO PATRIOTISM

The feature of the present war that
is peculiarly American is the way in
which the instrumentalities of bust
ness have been placed at the service
of patriotism. The time is past for
discussion as to whether the call of
country is stronger than the call of
profit. 1t is now not question Of
putting business above your patriot
ism; it is matter of putting business
into your patriotism.
Though our Revolutionary ances-
tors accomplished great things in max
ing America free, they had not learned
as much about subordinating business
to patriotism as we have learned.
Writing to James Warren in 1873,
Washington censures severely the
business morality in this time. "Our
conflict is not likely to cease as soon
as every good man could wish. Unless
we can return a little more to first
principles, and act little more upon
patriotic grounds, do not know what
may be the issue of the contest Spec
ulation, peculation, engorssing, fore
stalling, with all their concomitants,
afford too many melancholy proofs of
the decay of public virtue"
The moral principles of men change
bat little from generation to genera
ton, but the ways in which these mo-
raj principles are put into practice
change radically.

FOOD OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The man who wants to make money
out of the war does not like the Food
Administration, for it interferes with
his PROTECTING but the people ap-
preciate the Food Administration and
despise the profiteers.
Rules and regulations have been
promulgated by the Food Administra-
ton, after conference with all classes
interested regarding frozen poultry
and cold storage eggs. 1t is believed
that in this way the industries will be
stabilized, transactions be placed on a
just merchandising basis, and legiti-
mate competition be allowed, while
opportunities for unfair prices-raising
speculation will be restricted. The
consumers have been steadily in mind,
while the producers have not been
pressed below reasonable profit.
The Food Administration is teach
ing a goodly number of business con-
Germs that honesty is the best policy
by putting them out of business for
dishonesty. The AK falls only when
cases are fragrant and clearly proved.
And the cases are very few compared
with the whole number of loyal deal
ers.
Ammonia is precious now. In the
months of December, January and
February one large New York ice man
ufacturer saved 26,864 pounds of am
monia. If this ratio can be followed
generally by the artificial ice produc-
ers the actual needs of the country
may be met without undue curtailment
of ice consumption or refrigeration.
Domestic science teachers in public
schools of Indiana have been enlisted
in food conservation by the Federal
Food Administrator, who has sent
them a special communication asking
that they impress upon classes the
necessity for saving foods needed in
Europe, teach use of substitutes, re-
duce the consumption of sugar and be-
tween-meal lunches at school, and aid
In the creation of an American spirit
which will back up the Food Admins
tration program.
Pupils in the Medill High School.
Chicago, H., were told that their
cooking class must be discontinued on
account of the expense, whereupon
they organized to make the work
self-supporting, each pupil contribut-
ing lunch money to buy materials
Twenty members give 10 cents apiece
daily, and a luncheon is planned to
come within So, says the Chicago
Daily News. No sugar, wheat, meat, OF
butter are used in this luncheon, bis
cults being made of rice, barley, and
rye flour, and ice cream, Favored and
sweetened with jelly which was put
up by the class last year. More than
200 jars of school-canned fruits, veg
etables, mushrooms, etc., are being
drawn upon for the luncheons. Some
of this material cost only couple OF
cents a jar when canned.

Japan's Rice Crop Declines.

Production of corn, rice and pota-
toes in Japan during 1917 was in all
cases less than in 1916. The 1917 rice
crop was about 100 million bushels
below normal, a decline of more than
one-fifth. Japan is now making eff
forts to increase her wheat acreage
greatly; also to build ships for carry
ing Japanese and Australian wheat in
the Pacific trade.

6 Dictionary Slavery.


The fact is that the highest lingual
intelligence today prescribes mo such
dictionary worship as that Of the petty
potentates Of schoolroom and print
shop. The usage of people is what
makes and animates language, and
those words become recognized part
ssof the language which are approved
by the leading writer's and speakers of
the time. But these writer's, by habit
and education, are themselves prone
to dictionary slavery. They hesitate
to take up new word and dignity It
with usage. Therefore, when they
want a new word which our dictionary
doesn't provide they 60 deliberately to
the. French! This takes the curse of
the crime of coming a new word In
English! &C., e. e. ~, , .:s:l :
Aside from the cheap and pedantic
practice of lifting words from for
eign language to fill out the gaps IN
our own. our language has today no
constant source>of replenishment but
slang. Shakespeare went to the root
forms of classical literature to secure
him his mat erials tor words which
the language did not afford. We, be-
cause of our dictionary fetish, can go
only to the sporting page st. Paul

EDITOR OF "THE MASSES"
AGAIN UNDER INDICTMENT

New York, May 30.-Superseding
indictments charging violation Of the
espionage act were returned by a
Federal grand jury against Max
Eastman, former editor of the So
cialist magazine, The Masses, and
four persons associated with him In
an alleged conspiracy to impede
compliance with the draft law
through the publication of matter
which the government claimed was
of a seditious character.
At the trial of, Eastman and his
associates the jury disagreed.
Editors note: At the former
trial, when the jury disagreed,
George Creel, official spokesman for
the president, went on the stand and
defended the accused, stating that
he held the Socialist editor OF The
Masses in high esteem and had high
regard for him. No doubt this had
it's effect upon the verdict.

 The delegates, members of congress of Latin-American countries as well as business and professional men, in spected the new docks erected during the war;
 Speakers at the congress said Bor- deaux was destined to develop as a part. because of it's geographical position and its railway connections.
 Reciprocal arrangements between Franch and Latin America for the bentfit of business, travellers and tourists were suggested.

President Wilson Asks Democratic Congress be

Issues An Appeal to Voters in Which He Says Return of Republican Majority Would Be Interpreted as
 Repudiaton of His Leadership

of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put it under the control of instrumentalities of their own choosing.
 This is no time either for divided council or for divided leadership Unity of command is as necessary new in civil action as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the house and the senate should be talk en away from then party now in power an opposing majority could oElige all action to be taken amidst contest and obstruction.
 The return of a Republican ma jcl ity to either house of congress would moreover be interpretative on the other side of the water as re- rIdiations of my leadership. Spokes- men of the Republican party are urging you to elect Republican congress in order to back up and support the president, but even il they should in this impose upon some credulous voters on this side O; the water, they would impose on no one on the other side. It is well understood there as well as here that the Republican leaders desire not so much to support the presi- dent as to control him.
 "The peoples of the allied coun- tries with whom we are associated against Germany are quite familiar ] with the significance of elections
 They would find it very difficult to believe that the voters of the
 United States had chosen to support | their president by electing to the congress majority controlled by l tlose who are in fact not in sym pathy with the attitude and action of the administration.
 q need not tell you, my fellow coontrymen, that I am asking your support not for my own sake or fol 1ae sake of political party but for the sake of the nation itself, in order that it's inward unity of purpose may be evident to all the world. In ordi- nary times I would not feel at lib- erty to make such an appeal to you
 In ordinary times divided counsels car be endured without permanent hur. to the country. But these arc not ordinary times.
 of in these critical days it is your wish to sustain me with undi- vided minds l beg that you will say so in way which it will not tbe pos
 si5le to misunderstood either here at home or among our associates
 init my difficulties and my hopes to you.
