REWARD FOR LOYALTY,

The city of Toledo has struck 1s so loud the whole country has heard it. iH the new Toledo plan.
 The Safety Director has put snap into the municipal service by finding out what interest every man is talk ing in the war and if he is support ing the government with his money If any empleye is not. he must give a good reason for his omission.
 No man is required to do more than he is able to do; but every man must show his loyalty by doing something
 The Toledo plan puts a spur upon patriotism. Patriotic inertia dis closes a dead one; and if such a one is spared he is assured that the first returned soldier who wants his job and is capable of filling it shall have it.
 This is not system of persecution, but a system to make an end of pacifism in public places.
 It is a plan which is likely to ex- tend to other cities. and other states.

An InuuiFy,

.Mr. Editor: have noticed the par tisan zeal that has been displayed by cur city officials since the city meet ing. They have removed republicans from every office save one. Why has the court of common ceuacil failed 10 appoint q democrat city surveyor This is the first named office in the charter, that may be selected by the council All the rest of the city of fees have been given to democrats.
 The superintendent of the water de- nartment has taken his removal to the superior court for a hearing con- corning the right to abolish that of fee.
 An attempt to remove Mfr Dolbeare from the gas and electric commission was ahortive.
 The only position left that has re- mained in possession of republicans is that of city surveyor and engineer This place has been capably filled for twelve years by 2 democrat, until the republicans removed him two years since. His advice and assistance have been sought frequently during the administration of Mayor Brown, and even recently by the present admins tratien, yet he remains outside the fold. There are many democrats and republicans wno beiieKe that ip peli-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
--=#-----
peiusion,

Mir. Editor: Barnum ridlculed the worlds love of delusion when he work ed or the theory that the American people love to be buneoed, But Bar num's methods were a burlesque and appealed to the pleasure streak in hu- manity rather than to the intellect, upon which delusion fastens itself most securely.
 Ignorance fosters deiusien just as it does superstition, but the most woe fully befeoled person on earth is the intelligent man or woman who sue eumbs to delusion. Men and women will delude themselves into believinE the most rid !culous statements and where it happens to suit their bent of possible reports and twist them about to serve as arguments for their own diseased state of mind.
 Like other CT. ors, deiusion does most injury to those who indulge in it. For time it may be successful, out final ly there is an awakening and the vic tim is made to see how disastrous has been his mistake, They then realize that frankness has been pilfered from their characters and that hencefartE the sane balance of mental effort has been destroyed.
 No man or woman who seeks to use delusion to further their ends eyel makes a success of life.
 He or she who deludes others i! leading his or her own soul astray But those who delude themselves art deliberately inviting the destruction that shall follow swift when theil course is run.

THE MADE IN AMERICA SLOGAN.

America since the 20th century opened has found sc many things marked Made in Germany" that it no longer questions that this Is a wise business method
 Now we are told Made in Amer ica" will be a slogan and purchasing guide most faithfully followe in this country afteh the war. Whether 1t is a paper of pins, pen knife, silk hat or carton of sugar. the purchaser will look for the copyrighted trade mark or brand for identification. Label, sealed carton. stamp or plate or whatever may be appropriately used 10 carry evidence of erigination, will he used wherever possible"
 The Bulletin hopes this will prove to be true. since it calls for honor in the output of goods and loyalty in our relation to them.
 The interests of American products against the advance in our midst of any German product with it's origi- nation cleverly concealed or merely lacking any evidence of German iden- tification, require concerted action of this kind
 . Labelled or declared goods should then be in demand as never before The unnamed or unidentified goods are likely to be looked on with sus- nicion, classed as doubtful, and be re- jected.

and love for the sick and wounded soldiers to whom a large part of these 800 thousand gifts are to be dis trihuted,
 As described there was "a noun tain of blankets" and thousands of individual gifts varied from several pairs of fine blankets to one cake of soap or an egg. One lady. age 1o2, had sent 100 handkerehiefs that she had hemmed, and with them her pho tograph taken in her garden in Cali fornia.
 The gifts shown teek three weeks to unpack, and included contributions from 125 branches of the needlewerk guild. In the United Kingdom, be- sides gifts from Attorney. Australia, the Argentine. Brazil, British Guana, Bolivia, Canada, Central America, Chile, China, Ecuador, the Falkland land, Japan, Jersey. Mexico, Panama, Peru, South Africa, Sweden, Uruguay the United States of America, and Venezuela. Sixty-six cases from eversea have not yet arrived. and their contents are unknown.
 The Needle work guild was initiated by Queen Mary four years ago, and these gifts were given without public appeal.
 The Queen in an address said: "l am deeply grateful for the splendid response to the Silver Wedding shower scheme. It seems marvellous that so many parts of the world, even the most distant ones. should have been able to contribute to the mag nif1cent total of gifts. and am de- lighted to think that the sailors and soldiers and airmen will benefit se largely from this charming and prae= tical expression of good will to my self"

 'Why-that's where" began Mrs. Hessler.
 Her husband interrupted Sure! wonder ii the little woman next door knows yet"
 Rose had stumbled over the t!lrcsn old of her apartment half faintine. Brill was Brownell Mack Cempany's cashier! Her first impulse had been to rush back and ask Mir. Hess.er if he knew what he was saying-to der mand more information. Then she had crept away like 8 stricken ere ture, trying to realize the horror of the situation,
 Up and down the spaces If her lonely apartment Rose paced, wringing her hands in impotent misery. Al times she told herself it could not be true; then the sickening certainty gripped aer Brill had not appeared; the dinner hour had passed; no word had been sent to her. At last, in | nervous panic, she put on her hat and hurried eewn town. She must know the worst.
 As she stumbled up the, steps of l Brownell Mack Companys offices she saw that there were lights burning within and men moving about. An | official stopped her at the gate. She had never been there before and she was unknown.
 l "Is Mir, Sibert here-yet?" she asked faintiy. Then, scarcely knowing what she was doing. she pushed her way into the onee. A mans face peered at her from behind a litt.e wicket gate. and a voice called her name.

THE LABOR QUESTION,

It is far from being sensible to claim there is no shortage of labor in this country, for there has been a scarcity of male and female help in all parts of the country for the past g years.
 It stands to reason that two mil lion of Americas ablest young men cannot be called to arms without se- riously embarrassing every section of this country.
 There are doubtless millions of loaf ers-booze victims, hook worm inva- lids. and the offspring of the we'll to- do. whose work consists of Acensum- ing provender and wearing out clothes; and the problem is how to make the male and female herdes of dissipates and physically unfit and mentally disinelined to just half take the place of the efficients who have had 10 step from the ranks of indus try into military piatoons to defend the flag and preserve the civilization which the world thought was so se- cure.
 We are all interested in Gen. Crow deF's Conseript Industrial Army, be- cause it means so much for the in dividuals concerned and so much more for the country. All the energy go ing to waste in the country is needed today; and method and wages and in. viting hours. and the adaptability O the individuals may pave the way fo every class of idlers to become pro duceTs.
 We are glad there is to be a con script industrial army and tha every person who can be made usefu is to be found occupation and b made to serve.

When young Sibert locked aeress the breakfast table and saw the flushed, sullen face of his wife his own fea- lures grew stern and gloomy. It was quite unfair and unreasenable for Rose to act in this peevish manner. It's no use sulking, Rose" he said, harshly for hiRa T can't afford it; and that settles it."
 Can't afford it!" sneered Rose, without lifting her eyes. You can't afford the price of 8 gown for your wife, so that she may make decent appearance in public"

 stingy, hard hearted, that's what 1 Brill Sihert was He had no eem- passion for her at all; no proper pride i in his Wlfe's appearance. i What made it harder to bear was the fact that Roses dearest friend, a member Of her club. and, like herself, one of the committee fer the coming l reception to be held in the Turkish room of the St. Moire Hotel, had CT i dered an exquisite creation of yellow charmeuse and white shadow lace; 1 and Rose had confidently inparted the information that she would appear in a companion gown of black and ab- sinthe green-a striking but harmeni- GUS contrast.
 "ill economize-after this, Brit " she had offered coaxiqgiy. And I'll go to cheaper dressnaker-Jean is awfully deaF--and I'll make it come within fifty dollars

tics as in war. the spells belong to the victor.
 The situation is arousing the euri- osity of many politicians who cannot solve the mystery that screens the reason for the failure of the demo- cratic party to reappoint a capable servant to the position that he ably filled and from which he was removed for political reasons only. There can be no doubt concerning his ability. It has been proved times without num- Der in our courts. He is q democrat in politics. A host of his political friends want to know why the court or common council shut off steam and stopped the roller when it reached the office of city surveyor and engineer
 There is such thing as fair play even in politics it is also a game that requires two sides to play it. One side has had it's innings, but the game has not been finished.
 Respectfully yours,
 DEMOCRAT.
