Something Good

Those who hate nasty medicine
should try Chamberlain's Tablets
for constipation. They are pleasant
to take and their effect is so agree
able and so natural that you will
not realize that it has been produced
by medicine. Obtainable every

Apparently the farmers in this
vicinity are not rushing to the sup
port of the so called Non Partisan
League. We can see no particular
reason why they should. 1t is an
easy matter for an organization to
get following. of certain class,
by promises of great reforms; but
the average wide-awake farmer of
today has been fed up on promises
in the past until he now demands
something more tangible before he
is ready to back up proposition.
The leaders of anything in the
nature of reform movement must
also be men in whom the people
have confidence. Potlatch farmers
are pretty we'll able to handle their
own interests these days without
calling for support from an organi-
zation of which they know but
little,

The Alien Tongue

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me, as a naturalized citizen
loyal to this country and its best tradi-
TONS, to protest against the proposed policy
of suppressing in the future papers pib-
lishcd in foreign tongues, as a preventive
measure against disloyalty 1t seems to
me that this policy, proposed by Mr.. Roose-
welt and heartily approved of by you in your
editorial Of to-day, is bound to bring only
harm and to defeat its own end
Your objection to foreign newspapers in
this country is based on the fact that many
German-Amercan papers have proved their
disloyalty, and the real issue then is not
the tongue, but the question of loyalty. As
a war measure | can understand the sup
preston of disloyal papers, regardless Of
the tongue in which they are written but
as permanent policy it will never do 1t is
lntolerant and is, therefore, against the
spirit of the people of the United States
and against the principles laid down in the
Constitution. The only elements that would
take advantage of such measure are the
disloyal ones. They would make full use of
the dissatisfaction among the vast number
VI loydl men ana women VINO would be I'M
able to learn inc daily news from the mo-
mcnt that their own papers were sup
pressed. People who left Europe because
of political or economic oppression will be
sadly disappointed it, instead of rcaliza-
ton of their desires, they will meet with
measures reminding them of their darkest
days.
Suppression is the method Of Nicholas
Romanof and Nicholas Lenine. It never has
done any good. 1t is unworthy Of this great
people. If you want to combat disloyalty,
90 1t not by methods belonging to the realm
of oppression and obscurantism, but by
educating the masses; by giving them the
opportunity to learn not only the tongue
but the spirit of the people among whom
they intend to live; by promoting legisla-
ton which will raise the standard of their
existence. Make this country more dear to
them than their old home. Protect their
minds from the influence of pernicious
demagogy by making them realize that thew
Will have hand in the making Of their own
fortune by serving the good of the whole
people The only result of the policy pro-
posed by you will be that the Republican
party VIII lose many voters in the next
elections, no matter how loyal and how
strongly anti-German their feelings are.

Under Fire

The Liberty bond campaign will run
tor four weeks. Half an hour after it
started yesterday communities began to
report subscriptions to the full amount of
their quotas.
That marks the difference between the
temper Of real war time and the temper
of quasi war time. When the first and
second Liberty Loans were tloated we
were only nominally at war. The war
was In every sense three thousand miles
away" But when General Pershing said
last week to General Foch, "Here are
my soldiers. Use them all in any way
you want to and at any time you want
to-" the war knocked at our DOORS
The country hears that knocking Hin
denburg is the real publicity and solicit
ing agent Of the third Liberty Loan. 1t
lsnot the full page advertisement in the
newspaper the patriotic urging of the
FourMinute Man at the movies" or the
sagacious banking expert, emphasizing
the attractions OF the best and soundest
security investment on earth, who is sell
ing the new bonds. 1t is the German in
fantryman on the Somme beating against
the Allied lines, and the German artiI-
leryman who from far behind the limits
of any possible investment zone" slaugh-
tiers women, children and neutrals in
Paris, gathered to celebrate a Good Fri
day mass.
If the Krupp establishment should in
vent a gun which could shoot across the
Atlantic our own women and children, in
church OF in their homes, would quickly
become the victims Of German savagery.
We know now that the troops we send
to France are not going $4,000 miles
away" for any other purpose than to de-
TEND us--to defend us at the pojnt
where defence counts most
So every dollar put into Liberty bonds
is dollar used to protect our loved ones
from the German monster. What is
$4,000, 600 for such a purpose? A
bagatelle. 1t could be raised in ten DAYS
in five days if time pressed.
We have just begun to give. No; not
to give (give is an entirely misleading
word), but to prepare our own Defence
we 90 not give, because that implies
certain detachment from the uses which
are to be made of the gift. We merely
alot for immediate service certain
portion of what would become worthless
IN our hands should the savage purpose
OF Germany prevail.
we are marchng-all of us-in this
ehlrd Liberty Loan. campaign-to the
sound Of the German cannon on the
Western front

How Old Is a Woman?

Great excitement has persisted in
those cautious circles devoted to thinps
as they have always been over the prob-
lem OF how women could possibly vote,
seeing that frank statement of their
age was condition precedent. Gallant
legislators even suggested an amend
ment to the law. The first registrations
were awaited with hushed expectancy.
And nothing happened. An excep-
uonal woman saw fit to protest. One or
TWO IN all that part of New York which
voted at the special Congressional elec-
IONS actually walked out and preferred
their secret to their ballot. But the
mass of voters apparently gave not a
thought nor cared smidge.
Therefore, Attorney General Lewis's
decision that women must give their
age and give it exactly will hardly
shake the foundation of our NV cleo
toratc. Isn't it the truth, perhaps. that
THIS great secret has lost d trihe Of it's
point! The looks Of woman are still
important, but not quite in the old wav.
Figure, perhaps, retains the old rank.
But complexion, for instance, has fallen
far to the rear. And all sorts of stranoo
points like golf, talk, pep" and even
brains have pushed their way to the
front.
"A man is as old as he feels, but a
woman is as old as she looks, under the
old formula. cold as she does" comos
nearer to the present day truth. And
when lover cares little about n few
years more or less, why worry about an
election clerk,

The Alien Enemy Vote

Imagination can hardly conceive of
more lamentably absurd situation than that
Germans and Austrans should be permit
ted to vote at the elections for CONGRESS-
men who are to take so important a part in
the conduct OF a war on Germany and Aus
tria. Yet this is what may virtually happen
IN no fewer than ten states alabama, Ar

NIT aliens who have declared their intcn-
tlon of becoming citizens, but who have not
yet been naturalizcd, to vote at all elections.
There is no saving clause with respect to
alien enemies, nor is there time to amend
the constitutions of these states in this re-
spect before the next Congressional cleo
tons. To remedy this evil Congressman
Flood has introduced bill the effect of
which will be to preclude alien enemies
from voting at Congressional elections
This bill should pass without DELAY. Ger
mans and Austrians who have not been in
our country long enough to have become
naturalzcd are not vet far enough removed
from the damnablc influence of modern Ger
man thought to be worthy of partjcjpation
IN our government. Germans and Austrians
who have lived in our country for manv
years without showing sufficient sympathy
with our institutions to become naturalized
nave failed TO demonstrate that thew have
become cmancipatcd from the same infu-
cncc. We may think that they are, at heart
IN sympathy with our civilization, but we
cannot be sure, and in these times We cam
not afford to take any chances

Flying by Taxi

Down in,Atlantic City regular SER
vice for aeroplane rides has been main
tanned for two years or more, at the
modest charge Of s25 for a ride of about
fifteen minutes.
Gasolene consumption in fair grade
aeroplane works out at around 10 cents
q mile, or, say, Sc or SO an hour. 1t is
not much more expensive than a very
fast motor boat
Overhead charges are, of course, very
high, but they would scarcely work out
at much more perhaps than 81 or SIS
an hour, SO that at S25 an hour there
ought to be a steady and very hand
some profit.
IN II fast plane the trip to Philadel-
phia could now be made in an hour: to
Washington or to Boston in two hours
and half
Some Of the large planes in service in
England AND France have carried as
hi%n as twenty passengers and a pilot.
There is no reason why they should not
carry at least five or six passcn-
gers for fairly long distance fights.
~ TO Boston or to Washington There
ought to be good profit in such ma
chimes in fares at $l0 or $12 an hour.

The Cotton Prohteers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Within the last few days the chap
ters OF the Red Cross have been ordered to
double and treble their output of surgical
dressings. They are composed Of cotton.
in one form or another. On account Of the
unfair and grossly cxorbtant prices asked
by the cotton profiteers the Red Cross is
getting for it's money about one third the
quantity of material it should
President Wilson is vested with authority
to fix a price on cotton. We remember that
last year he squeezed the last cent out Of
the owners Of coal. Because the growers
of cotton arc 80 per cent Democrats he
deliberately refuses to put price on cot
ton. The Southern patriots CD have an
nounced that they depend on the Adminis-
tration and their majority in Congress to
sec that their income is not interfered with
Let our troops suffer.
This is only one instance of the daily cx-
hbitions in Washington of a sordid parti-
sanship. L. r.
