LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Among
the orders issue by General Pershing
to his men. the following are found:
you win be kind to the aged and
invalid. You will be courteous to all
women. and have never so much as
an evil thought in your mind. You
will be tender and gentle with little
children. You will do your duty like
brave men"
Did you ever read of a German gen.
eral or officer issuing such an order?
Did you ever read a German procla-
nation of any kind that took thought
OF the people? Let us again cite
what the kaiser said to his troops as
he sent them forth to war:
when you meet the foe you will de-
feat him. No quarter will be given,
nor prisoners will be taken. Let all
who fall into your hands be at your
mercy Just as the Huns one thous-
and years ago under Attila, gained a
reputation, SO may the name OF Ger
many became known in such a man

SPRING IS COME HOME.

SPRING is COME HOME.
Cast wide the folding doorways Of the East
For now is light increased!
And the widebesomed chambers Of the air,
See they be garnshed fair;
Now is no time for sober gravity,
Season enough has Nature to be WISE
But now distinct with Taiment glittering free,
Shakes she the ringing rafters of the skies
With festa1 footing and bold joyance sweet,
For, 10. into her house
Spring is come with her world wandering feet,
And all things made young with young desires;
And all for her is light increased
In yellow stars and yellow daffodils,
And east to west, and west to east
Fling answering welcome fires,
BY dawn and day-fal on the jocund bills.
And We. winged Ministries OF her fair me1nie
Being newly coated in glad livery,
Upon her steps attend,
And round her treading dance and without end
Reel you shrill ltany.
What popular breath her coming doth out-tell
The garrulous leaves among.
What little noises stir and pass
Brom blade to blade along the voluble grass.

A PLAN WORTH FORWARDING.

Speaking at the foreign trade convention re-
Gently held in Cincinnati, Glen l.. Swlggert,
specialist in commercial education, urged
greater degree of standardization In the educa-
tional institutions of this country for the study
of foreign trade. Mr.. Swiggert gave list Of
what he deemed to be required subjects, at the
same time advocating in the curricula such a
choice Of selective subjects as would be salts
factory to the students. Ample opportunity
should be gven,'' he declared, ''for the greatest
possible contact of students with the actual
processes of business through some mutually
advantageous plan of cooperation between
business and the educational institution
Mr. Swiggert's remarks should find a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of all American
businessmen There has not been in the past
that consideration given to commercial educa-
ton and training which the subject merits.
While Mr.. Vanderlip's characterization Of
Americans as a race of economic illiterates''
may be a little harsh, it is fact that if our
students were given less theoretical and more
practical training in matters of trade and com
1nerce and languages the country would be
subjected to fewer economic upheavas.
One or two business organizations in this
country, notably the National City bank of
New York, presided over by Mr. Vanderlip,
have sought to encourage the teaching of com
{merc1at SUBJECTS IN the SCHOOLS, nominating
students to those colleges which have adopted
approved courses, and paying those students
quite generously while in attendance. An at
tempt was made some years ago to establish g
school in Washington, D. c., and some $7O00t
was raised by contribution, with which the
school worried along for about three years
when the funds out, and public interest il
the matter ceased. This school taught consul
lar service, modern languages, diplomacy, com

was said that there were about Is.

GOMPERS IN BOSTON

Boston Transcript: AS he departs
from Boston Samuel Gompers OF
the American Federation of Labor
carries with him the distinction OF
having addressed the three repre-
sentative classes Of people who Keep
the world going, for he spoke this
afternoon to the employing class. He
spoke last evening in Faneuil hall to
the employed class, and during the
afternoon he addressed the law-mak-
ing class at the state house. All three
classes accorded him the full measure
of honor to which his position gives
him title.
The meeting this afternoon was at
the Boston City club, in the large BAN
quet hall on the fourth floor, and this
hall and gallery were filed to the
doors. The men applauded him, ap-
plauded many OF his utterances on the
principles of justice in industry. ap-
plauded his reference to Henry B.
Endicott, to Lloyd George, the French
officers and President Wilson. They
showed sympathy with principles for
which Mr.. Gompers is contending,
such vital principles as the complete
elimination Of strikes and lockouts
during the war and the conservation
after the war as now being develop
ed.
Henry B. Endicott presided and
made a few preliminary remarks
about the high character Of labor
union men who are serving with him
on the public safety committee. They
have had great deal to do with la
Dor disputes, and it has become a
standing joke in his Office, he said,
whether they have made a union man
out of him or he has made nonunion
men out of them The specific com
pliment he had for Mr.. Gompers was
that he is always working for his
country. and one Of the latest OF his
deeds was the purchase OF a Liberty
bond which he placed 20 the credit OF
the city Of Boston.
When MI. Gompers was presented
the audience rose to greet him and
Mr. Gompers thrust his hands into his
trousers pockets and delivered slow,
deliberate and eloquent acknowledg.
ment Of gratitude for such a cordial
reception. He grew somewhat en-.
thusiastic in his assertion Of prin-
ciples that should govern the working
men and the employers, and he was

and kaiserism and when he had spok

caption appearing in Cedar Rapids

1t refers to the incident OF garbage

municipal service and utilized for
feeding purposes by firm of stock
feeders. 1t represents, in fact, the re-
yerting to barborous methods OF

pollution of the common waters OF

garbage and sewer contamination, is
an outrage of the first degree.

en- less than half an hour he referred
Ito the necessity for the business men
to be released for the more urgent
duties of attending to business in
stead OF listening to him, and with
emotion he pledged his all to Uncle
Sam. II have not much, and don't ex-
pect to get anything" he said, but
what little I have Uncle Sam may
have it to the very last farthing.
Having been present in Mr.. Endi-
'cotts Office during one Of those com
mon conferences over labor troubles.
Mr.. Gompers had become convinced
that Mr.. Endicott really works, and
the only suggestion for improvement
that he could make was that there
should be round table in the office
Instead Of a square one, SO that the
employers and employees would not
have to sit on opposite sides, since
they have learned through association
that they are not 50 black as they ap-
peared to be before they met.
! Touching upon some OF the pr1n-
i ciples for which he is cOntending In
| the Industrial line, Mr.. Gompers de-
clared that there should be neither
strikes nor lockouts during the war,
hut the eight-hour standard should
| be adhered to except IN emergencies,
and he felt convinced that there
should be equal pay for equal work
whether 1t is performed by man or
woman. These declarations were
strongly applauded Continuing. Mr..
Gompers asserted with emphasis that
the principles of justice that are put
in for the dire purpose Of winning the
war are not going to be thrown npon
the scrap-heap after the war.
Thoughts are developing now" ne
said, that will never die down again.
The whole world is up in arms to
make glorious triumph for the prin-
ciples of justice. Those men at the
front are fighting for you and yours
and me and mine and ours and every
man who is Stacker sacrifices his
ffellowman on the battlefront.
When glorious victory comes 1t
means the destruction OF antocracy
and militarism, and then there will
be no one to extend the hand Of
friendship to the Germans more read
! lily than the men who are fighting
kaiserism today. This is q wonderful
time-a world in the making, taking
its baptism in blood-a struggle that
shall make its impression upon the
whole human family
