require This is not much of a hard
ship for anybody. Next, everyone is
implored to be as economical as he or
she can in order to aid the government
to raise the gigantic sums necessary
for carrying on the war. This is no
great hardship either. 1t is war Of
endurance, the result of which will
hinge on individual self-sacrifice; VIC
tory is impossible without cooperation
in saving by the entire nation. The
mass Is not urged to give, but to save.
Millions are being given by the wealthy
to maintain the various war charities.
All that is asked of the rank and file
is that they shall not put into their
mouths or on their backs the extra
money which the shortage of labor en-
ables them to demand. When they
fail to live up to this they cease to be
patriots and become profiteerers. The
next best proof of loyalty to laying
down ones life Is to save. And what
an easy thing that is compared to co.
ing over the top or facing bombard'
ment.
No One Should Obstruct.
Finally, the government asks that no
one shall obstruct the winning of the
war. Here is the opportunity for labor
to be of immense service or great in
jury. If the men and women whose
pay already far exceeds what they
have ever earned before choose to hold
up the national industries in order to
obtain more, they are false to their
brothers in France and range them
selves with the enemy. They have the
power to do so, for unlike the fighting
men and the railroads they have not
been conscripted. We hear many
prophecies of the startling changes that
are to come with victory, chief among
which Is the assumption that the day
of the capitalistic profiteerer is over.
We are told that the dawn Of new
economic era is in sight. If this he
true, labors stake in this most ter
rible and relentless of wars Is greater
than that of any other class. Ii greed
and Indifference prevail Germany will
win; for "draw" would be tanta-
mount to resumption of miltarism
and the indefinite postponement of the
social democratic program. Without
the whole-hearted aid of the workers
Mt home our brave men at the front
will be powerless to conquer. On the
anniversary which marks the holiday
of industrial industry this should be
borne In mind. And, further, 1t may
he said that world quickened to its
depths In It's resolution to extirpate
overlords is in no mood to tolerate the

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con.
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita.
BILE and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone so.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous
over-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine will do fol-
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried it, by enclosing ten
cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton
N. Y, may receive sample size bottle by

of purchasers who are helpless to pro-

The profiteering principle extends to
the smallest articles-a lead pencil, for
another instance. Pencils have gone
from five to ten cents not BECAUSE the
extra lead costs fraction Of cent

tism. Their families must be protected
against the profiteer at home.
Condemn the Profiteers.
Much can be done by the govern
ment by laws rigidly enforced, but still
more can be done by system of os-
tracism, of social condemnation. We
can add to the rising spirit of gener-
Gus fOrbearance by recognizing II

profiteering odiOus, as well as against
the law, by openly condemning those
who practice it.

to all that is fine and generous in
American manhood, an enemy citizen
doing the work of the kaiser quite as
effectively as though he carried gun.
His action Is crime and should be so
treated by society and by the depart
ment of justice.
These are times when bravery and
generosity are in the ascendant. AS
the war goes on the need of these
great virtues will increase, but also
and alas the opportunity for profiteer-
ing will augment; and unless some
check is placed upon it we will all feel
the pinch of the profiteering greedy
claw. We must back up the govern
ment in its work. but we should also
characterize clearly and strongly our
hatred of the robber no matter where
he may be found.

The Crime of
Profiteering
By HAMLIN GARLAND
of The Vigjl0nfes

To my mind, one Of the noblest
phases of this war is the outburst of
generous giving on the part Of the
great merchants and manufacturers of
America. 1t would be an injustice not
to admit this
The impulse which leads a man to
forego a salary of seventy-five thou
sand dollars per annum or to neglect
an enormous business for position
on the government roll at one dollar
per year is magnificent. l for one am
not disposed to cavil or criticize by
saying: 1T is easy to give up sal
airy of that size because 1t argues
wealth which Is sufficient without It,"
| am willing to grant the fine spirit
which leads men like Baruch ROsen-
wald, Crane and House 10 give of their
time and money and genius to the
only care Is to see that l give in the
same proportion and in the same mood.
Without doubt there is less of con-
sclenceless profiteering in this war
than In either the Civil war or the
Spanish war, but having granted this,
we are still confronted with the fact
that there are in America today a
great many men seeking ways to levy
tribute on those who are unable to
elude their demands.
No Objection to Fair Profit.
The shopkeeper no less than the
manufacturers, the pork-packer as well
as the cotton grower, are in this attack
on the pockets of the consumer. The
process in the case of manufactured
articles Is simple. Take, for convent
ent example, shoes. 1t is true that hides
are somewhat higher, that labor is
costlier, but as a matter of fact
few cents will pay for the difference
In the cost of the shoes on which the
retailer now asks n profit of four dol
lars. He has doubled the price, not be-
cause he must but because he can.
This is crime and should be punish
ed as such.
No one will object to fair profit
on the part of the manufacturer and
the dealer. but to this remorseless prof
iteering the government must put
