has not sounded as loyal as it should
have been. 1t it time all foolish talk

of the government to conserve food.
There are boarding houses where no
attention is paid to meatless days and
whcatless days. one lost two or three

Yet the people conducting it are, in
all other ways, seemingly loyal. They
are, possibly, lacking in serious con-

ize how near the war is to US, how
necessary it is to obey every request
Of the government nor how much bet
ter the Government officials under
stand the situation than private indi-
viduals, remote from the scene Of war
activity.
There are others who have been
distinctly indiscreet in utterances. They
are arguing what England and Ameri-
ca and France should do, or what they
have done that is wrong in times past,
etc. The time for that passed when
war was declared. What was legitimate
privilege then becomes sedition now,
and the loyal people are not going to
stand for it. There should be no hesita.
tion about open condemnation of such
talk and no hesitation about bringing
to the attention of the government
all the people who utter such senti.

So says Governor Arthur Capper of
Kansas. And what he says has the
ring Of truth in it.
Unhappy, disappointed men cannot
win anywhere-in peaceful pursuits or
in wartime occupations.
There is but this difference: It is
much easier to bring unhappiness and
discomfort to man near the battle

camp than if he We're stationed else.

A mother a sister, a friend can do il,

soldiers heart especially those teeming
with fear for the beloved boys safety.
The patriotic thing to do the thing
which will most brighten your boys
days "over there" and which will help
surprisingly in winning the war is to
write cheerful letters, gossipy letters,
the letters which bring a smile to the
eye and take ones mind off the grim
ness of war, the roar Of guns and the
mud Of the trenches.
If one cannot write that kind of q
letter it We're better to write none.

THAT THE NATION MAY BE
STRONG.

Editor and Publisher: American
business men, loyal to the nation in war
as in peace times, are growing little
weary of the persistent preachments
! about "non.essential industries They
see in this propaganda Of alarm the
chief menace to the prosperity of the
country.
The nation needs money, materials.
| war supplies-then money, and more
money. If business enterprises are to
produce money, money must be invested
in them. II the people are to have
| money with which to buy bonds, they
must be permitted to earn money.
| Money is not earned, nor employment
provided, through seriously curtailns
or suppressing useful industries.
II we have in this country industries
that are really non-essential, the very
| economic conditions of the war period
will afford all of the suppression that
NAV be needed. These matters adjust
themselves. When arbitrary adjustment
is attempted, to conform to the opinion
Of men who see through gloom specta-
cles. injury to all interests concerned is
| inevitable.
The American people bought two great
! issues OF Liberty Bonds because they
not only believed these bonds to be the
best investment on earth, but because
they had the money with which to buy
them. The most patriotic Of people
could not buy war bonds unless they
were able to earn the essential money.
The purpose of the American people
to carry this war through to an allied
victory is fixed. The ability of our
people to do this, in unison with our
associates, depends upon the CONNER
cial stability OF this nation-upon its
capacity to carry on trade and industry
and to protect and to support its useful
business enterprises.
Happily, President Wilson, his ad-
visers, and the leaders of the two
| branches of the congress are not com
mitted to policies Of reckless interfer-
ence with trade and commerce. They
see in such a program only indus
trial disaster - which would merely
preface military disaster
When the new order has been "A little
more firmly established and national
policies have been better defined, it will
be found that the nation is strong and
sound that our people will need little
restraint as to their habits of buying
and Of saving. With employment, at high
wages, for all; with trade and com.
merce active. and general business
prosperity ruling throughout the nation,
Uncle Sam will find his home people
ready and able to back up his fighting
men.
1t is far better to endure the thought
that few people may be buying things
! they do not need than the thought Of
a condition in which the people would
not be able to buy the things they do
need. That is why the sound sense Of
the American people will prevail.
